Allow me to give you the Jehovah's Witness version: The original plan was to make mankind live in perfection forever on a paradise earth. Original sin happened, screwing all that up. Adam had thrown away his perfect life, so there had to be a "second Adam", Jesus, who would have to give his...

Any stories to share that are pretty funny/embarrassing in hindsight?

I subscribed to Thunderf00t for debunking videos. I was sorely disappointed. I subscribed to Coughlan for comedy. And my, oh my, am I rewarded. Drama is great. That said, Thunderf00t has become a huge douchebag. I remember that Magic Sandwich show with PCS. PCS said something about Jesus...

Say, isn't it about time we start calling this forum "De Coalitie voor Redevoering" or something? Anyway, Mindhack, you don't take the sun rising every day on faith. You believe it. Perhaps putting that in Dutch will clear it up: Je gelooft dat de zon op komt. Je stelt geen geloof in het...

Off-topic, but I feel this ridiculously obvious joke needs to be made: Well, this is an interesting twist on reality.

Re: Debate Discussion Thread for: "Evidence supports creatio My evolution-denialist father used this analogy on me too. I could not help but laugh in his face for three minutes straight, so allow me to do it to you now. :lol:

Thank you. FIxed.

The capital is used in the context of lore.

He doesn't have the time to give the whole truth. He has a Gallop to go on.

I'm gay too, and it is my personal opinion that such actions are abhorrent, and need to be met with all the scorn and straight out enmity wherever possible. The people who accept this as right would deserve their fair share of rebuke as well, but not always in the spirit of that we're fighting...

On the "evolution only occurs in populations thing", isn't that a bit misrepresentative of the process? I mean, there is selection pressure on individuals, but the genes need to become fixated before we can include it into the evolutionary line of a species - that is, before it even starts to...

Well, Newton believed in alchemy. And if Newton believed it, we should. Right guys? RIGHT? Also, lol @ referring to Daniel 1 to give Christians credit for what a bunch of Jews in Babylon supposedly did.

This is why you mock the beliefs, not the person. You know, hate the sin, not the sinner?

This is how Jehovah's Witnesses work. They like to use sciency words to give themselves a thin veneer of credibility. This is why I got curious but was never satisfied with what they offered me. EDIT: Here is a link to the Watchtower study in question. Codarob was talking about paragraph 12 on...

Re: Debate Discussion Thread for: "Evidence supports creatio I came in, read ThePuppyTurtles first two posts - which do, might I add, look FABTATHTIC! - and snorted. I shall be pressing on, anticipating many laughs. EDIT 1: Hytegia should let that cough looked at.

This is not an appeal to ridicule. An appeal to ridicule means that you ridicule something in order to make it appear invalid. What this is, is coaxing someone into vengeful anger. The goal of the exercise is never to convince the person, it is to make that person want to take sweet revenge with...

One might actually explain the other. I can't read Dune in Dutch. One of the great things about Dune is the way it is written, its proze. It just doesn't carry over to Dutch.

There's this electronics company from Cupertino, California that wants to speak with you...

Yeah, but you see, those aren't civilians, those are "terrorists".

Multiple, in fact. There's Dune, an Adventure-RPG-RTS hybrid. There's Dune 2, arguably the first real RTS ever. There's Dune 2000, a remake of Dune 2 on the C&C engine. There's Emperor: Battle for Dune, a 3D RTS. But here comes the kicker: There are two boardgames! One of them is mediocre...
