"The PM saw off a bid to remove her government from power by 325 to 306 votes, the day after her plan for leaving the EU was rejected." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46901217 Funny thing is that they reject her deal, but they don't seem to be in any hurry to oust her. This might be the...

How dare you blaspheme against our Lord and Saviour so! You'll be sorry when he returns, reforges The One True Ring and judges over the Middle-Earth!

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin

I wouldn't mind so much if he was just a bloody moron. What I take exception to is that he a dishonest bloody moron.

Yes. Just as cars are compelled to use the road designated for them. I really don't understand how this can even be a topic for a serious discussion.

Sure this is derailment, but I have to wonder what countries allow on demand abortion at 7 months? I live in a country where the limit is 12 weeks, 3 months for "on demand" (still need a reason and a doctors reference for it, but that's basically a byrocratic formality) abortion and 20 weeks for...

They aren't that common, but if you see one you'll remember it the rest of your life.

Re: Every non painted/photoshpped picture proves earth is fl Yes I know I could have used this EPIC* picture: But that is a NASA one, and as we all know NASA is a part of the Round Earth conspiracy in it's totality so I thought a Russian source would at least not be NASA. *Earth...

Re: Every non painted/photoshpped picture proves earth is fl Here with a nice zoomable version: http://gigapan.com/gigapans/103187 I mean I'm sure Bernie will dismiss that one too with some asinine excuse but I though some of you might get a kick out of it. That is, originally, a humongous...

Yeah. It's sad really. If Bernie isn't even dedicated enough to a proper job trolling what hope does he have on any other task that lies before him?

Does anyone else have a problem decryphering that Bernie is trying to say? That because atheists can't prove a negative his God exists? Because he can prove a negative and atheists can't his God exists? That he doesn't understand the statement "you can't prove a negative" and therefore his God...

As a little side note it seems I have to say this again: The Gospels, or Pauls letters (those that are not forgeries or misattributions), are not evidence for the claim, they are the claim. I'm not sure why we get into the historicity of Jesus again. That thing has it's own thread. Also: So...

I think you miss the point. It's not that Paul, James, Peter, John etc actually had a meeting and decided that they really should invent a myth for the purpose to free the Jews from Roman rule. It's just what they came up with over time as their view on Jesus and his teachings as they knew them...

I'm sure most of you already know this, but Stephen Hawking died. He might have not been that relevant in the actual scientific field of late, but he is one of the most recognizable scientists of the last 100 years and had a great secondary career as a science communicator. I still have The...

That brings into mind another but connecting question: Do you think that people should keep pets? Of the total number of vegans I know, which is a small number, I know at least one who has a pet and one that thinks that pets are akin to slavery. Though I would think that the slavery argument...

There are indeed differences between different conspiracy theories, and even between different version of the same theory. Lets take 9/11. Some 9/11 CTsts just believe that the government knew about the plot but let it happen for some reason, some believe that it was actually planned and done by...

As far as I know, not being a biblical scholar even in the broadest sense, the Old Testament doesn't talk about the resurrection of the messiah. Feel free to correct me on this however if I'm wrong.

Which is a historical hyphothesis. Not all that well supported in my, and most historians, oppinion. Yeah I don't really know where that originates from, but it was popularized by Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln in the early 80's and even more by Browns Da Vinci Code. As far as I know it is a real...
