Philosophy, Religion & Society / Re: Veganism is a handicap of the religions

« on: May 11, 2016, 10:27:30 PM »

Let me understand what your are saying. NOT believing in a Flat Earth is going against God and He will come and kill me and take me to hell. BUT telling God He is wrong about the teeth He gave me for eating meat is fine and dandy?

Am i talking myself?

I didn't say God is wrong on this matter. I told that religions encourage the killing and eating to animals. This don't means God saying to kill the animals.

I everytime say that God don't make mistake but human changes his words with their ideas.

For example.

One of the ten Commandments is that:

"Thou shalt not kill". (Where is men?)

Also you can't show me god saying on bible, torah or quran that "kill that animal". It is impossible. But if most of men thinking like this, this is not God's mistake.

Do you see on it a word like "human?" No. But man comments that "God said don't kill human". Look to original source, it doesn't writing "don't kill human" Its just: "Thou shalt not kill". (Where is human?)

Like this example.

I told there is a mistake but to find out the problem is not my job. There is good scholars on the world. They should to solve problem, not me.

Look it: Number 6: "Do not murder."

LOOK THE ORIGINAL FORM TO UNDERSTAND THE GAME!

Thou shalt not kill   13[28]   17[28]

But human changes the mean "murder" and giving it a mean "murder so talking about human". No. It's just "DONT KILL ! (HUMAN OR ANIMAL) because kill word has broad mean contains man and animals of all. "

It might say that as one of the commandments but there are literally chapters worth of things related to not only which animals you should or shouldn't eat but how to sacrifice them to God.

Yes some chapters worth of things related to not only which animals you should or shouldn't eat but never sys "kill that animal". the result : dont kill, but you can eat it. probably it has been a promise of mandatory conditions.

Wrong. Indeed, the Pentateuch provides very detailed instructions on how an animal should be slaughtered. Have you... ever actually read the Bible?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: How big is the universe?

« on: May 11, 2016, 08:24:38 PM »

And while we're at it, in what shape? j

I mean this as a truthful question to FEs, because the thought of a universe that is only a few thousand kilometers across is just... depressing.

I mean, do you know how big the universe is? Like really, really big. As in, if the sun and the next closest star were the size of tennis balls, they would be on opposite sides of the continual United States. HUGE! There's so much stuff out there, and the sun, holly crap-snacks the sun isn't a spotlight. It's this massive energy factory, this huge powerhouse that provides more energy every second than every human on the planet uses all year. (And that's just the little bitty bit that hits the Earth's atmosphere)

Also: Solar Flares... how do they fit into the FET?

This is typical round-earth tactics. Their scientists aren't even sure exactly how big the universe is in their model yet we are expected to know the size.

One quote on the size of the universe.:
"The universe has no center and no edge."
The size of the universe is infinite.

Can you source that quote so that we can see that it is referring to the size of the universe? Because I'm pretty sure it's more an expression of the universe's shape (spherical in the fourth dimension; i.e. it has no center or edge in the same sense as the surface of your spherical Earth has no center or edge, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a potentially measurable size). In fact the Big Bang Theory would make no sense if the universe was infinite in size because it presupposes that it was finite at some point; you can't add anything to a finite quantity to make it infinite; that would be absurd.

tl;dr You don't even seem to grasp your own theory so why are you trying to argue about it?

You are not ready to learn everything but still you are deflecting.

Human don't need to eat the animals. But somebody claim it as a religion. This is not fair and appropriate.

I dont understand your stance.

Do you think eating meat is bad, or good?

Surely eating meat is bad. how is it be a good thing?

To kill a creature and eat it. This is not fair and ethical. What we feel if another animal continuesly kills and eats our friends and our family members? This is a terrible atrocity.

As a human we have strong so we can easily kill and eat other animals. I said that this is not fair and ethical. To see it requires a bit empathy.

Religions allow to do it, but here there is a mistake according to ethical values, human values, moral values.

But it's nature, dude. I don't understand where you get the idea that humans eating meat started with religion (if that is what you're saying? ?). We evolved as omnivorous creatures; questions about the ethics of how we treat the animals we farm aside, it's no more unethical for us to eat meat than it is for a cat to eat a mouse (or a cow to eat grass for that matter) .

If I'm being paid a guaranteed 13 mil a year for being mediocre I deal with it and do my fucking job. Your point makes no sense anyway because his biggest problem is that he knows he won't be an Eagle for much longer.

Every time I see a baby animal I think about how horrible it is to eat them when they grow up.

That's funny because whenever I see a baby cow my stomach starts rumbling.

Seriously though you should try to get over this. Animals eat other animals, it's a natural part of life.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Are there other known or visible flat planets with domes?

« on: May 02, 2016, 03:58:00 AM »

If the evidence from NASA is any actual indication of reality, then it appears that flatness is the normal shape for objects in the known universe.  We have observed both the moon and Mars from right at the surface and in both cases the surface is shown to be flat.  It is inconclusive as of yet, but (again, assuming NASA can be trusted) it seems that large objects tend to flatness as a general rule.

No, the lunar and Martian surfaces have not been shown to be flat. If the photos of their surfaces were incompatible with a round Mars and moon, every astronomer in the world would have had a WTF? moment, and they'd probably be still saying it.

They most certainly have.  If you google "surface of Mars" you will find plenty of images that show conclusively that the surface of Mars is every bit as flat as that of Earth, and a google search for "surface of the Moon" will yield similar results.  The most likely explanation is that those astronomers you mention are merely witnessing an optical illusion, possibly caused by EA, much like that viewed by NASA of Earth.

Naturally this also means that the dome theory of FE is incorrect, meaning the answer posed in the OP is interestingly no, but again because based on NASA's evidence the dome theory is incorrect.

That is interesting that you see curvature in that photo. It certainly seems to be evidence of something. But I don't see any curvature, so I can't see it as evidence that the Earth is round.

Is it a men vs women thing or is it a sand snakes vs everyone else thing?  Also it seems to me that even in the novels the sand snakes viewed Doran as being ineffectual to the point of being impotent; I feel like their actions in the premiere make sense (enough so anyway that I'm willing to go along with it).  Arianne's not even in the show, right?  Obviously the storyline was going to be very different from what it was in the books.  It's just too bad Dr Bashir is gone.

I enjoyed the scene with Brienne saving and then pledging fealty to Sansa.  I think that's the storyline I'm most interested in right now.  Arya's pathetic battle with the waif was also pretty good.  And that ending was downright chilling.  Overall I thought it was a pretty good episode.

If thousands of eye-witnesses from both sides of the event and corroborating physical evidence don't convince you, I seriously doubt a debate on an internet forum will.

Smart. Nip this one in the bud now. It's virtually impossible to convince someone who willfully ignores reality that they are wrong so why get baited into a useless debate? Mods please lock thread.

Yeah, better delete the forums entirely while we're at it because clearly debating the shape of the Earth is equally pointless. All of those pesky flat earthers are just "willfully ignoring reality".

Please keep discussions regarding the shape of the Earth in the proper subforums, thank you.

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Re: Teachers deserve low pay

« on: April 26, 2016, 10:13:06 PM »

Yeah, he was explicitly not talking about university professors.

For my entire life I've heard teachers complain that they get paid far too little for teaching. They are defended by many as heroes who are educating our children, who gave us our own education, and should be paid highly for this.

But what are teachers, really? At the lowest levels, preschool and kindergarten, teachers are little more than babysitters who read children stories. At the elementary, middle, high school, and college level the job role is essentially the same. Teachers remain babysitters who merely read children different books, whether it's a story about Martin Luther King, or about the periodic table. Other authors wrote those books, and did the research behind it. The teacher didn't do any of those things. The teacher is simply repeating the teachings of others. Most of the time they have their students do homework from the book and use exam handouts from the publisher (who graciously does not watermark the handouts). So why do they deserve large amounts of money for what is essentially a babysitting job?

In addition, teachers are frankly the losers of academia. Rather than contributing to an academic profession like their respected counterparts, they are reading stories to children. It's pathetic. Why should they be paid highly for that?

And yet he includes College professors in his opening post.

Right because of course colleges and universities are exactly the same thing.

He did refer to teachers as the losers of the academic world, and this is undoubtedly part of the reason why, kind of like how the jizz mopper is like the loser of the porn industry (it's hard to quantify which is worse, working with jizz or working with children...)

Sputnik, please at least read the Wikipedia page on the equivalence principle before trying to argue further.  We didn't say that the effect of constant acceleration would be exactly the same as the effect of gravity, Einstein did.  Any arguments you have with this particular aspect of our model, you have with him.  So I beg you to try to at least grasp the concept of the equivalence principle before posting again.  It's not a difficult concept, you only need to read the Wikipedia page to have a basic understanding of the concept.
