Did Jesus ride a dinosaur?

[richardlowellt]

I'm sorry richardlowellt, perhaps I should clarify a couple things for you. I do not believe in science because every time it "proves" something new it disproves everything it proved before.

Thats correct as that is how science works, and when new discoveries are made that trump older ones it's called progress. You sit at your computer using science to tell me you don't believe in it, kind of ironic. Science has saved you and your loved ones from terrible diseases, lengthened your life, provided you with clean water, a comfortable home, abundant food, instant and effective medical care, yet you don't believe in science. Could it be that science and it's finding interfere with your religious beliefs?

Reflecting back on my education I now realize it only got in the way of my learning.

Yes that is certainly obvious, it's the kind of thinking that would propel us back to the dark ages. Fear of new ideas, superstition, willful ignorance in the face of scientific facts, religious blinding, all inhibitors to the advancement of our species. Good luck with your comfortable, safe life, do take some time and reflect on all that the science you don't believe in, has given you.

]No he does not. if posting sarcasm is suppose to be humorous then this is certainly not the place to do it, sarcasm and willful ignorance is very difficult to separate, especially here. I find nothing humorous about feigning willful ignorance, it's rampart enough.

This is the jokes section of the forum.......

Not that you are being willfully ignorant of the fact.....ARE YOU?

If you can't laugh at the extremes theists and atheists go to on RF, where can you?

IMO only the theists go to the extremes, those I find more sad than funny.

If there are really people out there that think Jesus rode a dinosaur , that's pretty funny :yes:

My dear richardlowellt,
Generally speaking I find that if science were left to follow it's own path, it would look much like the hamster on the treadmill. Quantum Physics being the exception of course since it does not make itself more important then what it studies.
And education? Get serious. It does nothing more then teach you how to remember and "properly" (as proclaimed by the scholarly elite) reguritate the crap they feed you.

Ain't nobody done learn me how to think and I is just fine!

I do find it amusing that you never responded to my post on how science has protected the ones you love from disease, or given you the "comfy" life you now have, and your comment comparing science to a hamster on a treadmill pretty much proves you have no idea how science works, most likely because of your self admitted poor education.

And education? Get serious. It does nothing more then teach you how to remember and "properly" (as proclaimed by the scholarly elite) reguritate the crap they feed you.

You must have had a very poor education, sorry about that. Yes education does require you to remember, how to add, subtract and multiply, how to increase your vocabulary so as not to sound ignorant, how science works, you seemed to have missed that entire class, sorry for that, and actually to remember what happened in history so we as a species can try to avoid the mistakes of the past, it teaches you about reason and logic, how to read, at least you got through that class. And what "crap" did they feed you? Mathematics, history, spelling, grammar, biology, astronomy, just curious. So if you don't believe in being educated, then you must agree that being ignorant is something desirable. How would you describe yourself, as educated, or willfully ignorant?

Ain't nobody done learn me how to think and I is just fine!

I know you mean this to be a joke, but lack of education does cause people to actually talk and write like this.

I stongly believe that ignorance is bliss!
But that must be obvious by now. I like what you say about learning history so that we don't repeat the same mistakes.
Lets see..., we have had the Egyptian empire, the Mongolian empire, the Roman empire, colonialism by the French, Spanish, English, ect, the Third Riech, the Catholic crusades, and now the American empire. I'm sure there are more examples, but of course my poor education didn't allow for that.
As far as learning to avoid repeating mistakes goes I can say only this:

Nope, nuthin learnt here.

Then your on your way to a very blissful existence.

But that must be obvious by now.

Yes, it most certainly is.

Good boy, see what a quick google can do for you.

and now the American empire.

Opps, I guess i didn't know America was an empire, thought it was just one country out of many. If you had further educated yourself you would know that an was "An extensive group of states of countries under a SINGLE, supreme AUTHORITY, certainly not an apt description of a Democratic America.

I'm sure there are more examples, but of course my poor education didn't allow for that.

Thats ok, its never to late to repair the damage that a lack of education has caused, go for it.

As far as learning to avoid repeating mistakes goes I can say only this:

Nope, nuthin learnt here.

Yes, sadly this is true.

richardlowellt, I msut offer you my gratitude for you have more then earned it. Thanks to your learned (pronounced: learn-Ed) wisdom I have strengthen my belief that ignorance is bliss. America not an empire?" who was your teacher, David Copperfield?
I will go back and address that you mention all the life saving medicines and medical procedures that came from science. This is true of course and do not deny it. However, did we(humanity) not create ALL life threatening conditions in the first place? Wasn't it scientists at the forefront of creating these life threatening conditions? ( herbicides, pesticides, food additives,asbestos insulation, poison gasses, atomic bombs, ect) Seems to me all science does is make a pathetic attempt to undue the damage it has done.

 

[3.14]

if we created all life threatning conditions we would have to have been alot smarter
though you got a point we learned far more from putting ourself at risk then to play it save

 

[T-Dawg]

I find it completely mind boggling that there are 9 people on the face of this planet that think Jesus rode a dinosaur. Don't any of these people know anything about earth history? I'll have to add to my position that religion poisons everything, religions makes people just plain stupid!!!

I find it mind boggling that you were unable to realize that this is a joke thread. I mean, come on, I have Asperger's and I only had to read the title to realize the thread was sarcasm.

No he does not. if posting sarcasm is suppose to be humorous then this is certainly not the place to do it, sarcasm and willful ignorance is very difficult to separate, especially here.

It's the JOKES section... where else would this go? XD

No I'm not, I just don't find it funny, as there are those who truly believe it.

HOLY... are you f'ing serious?!?

IMO only the theists go to the extremes, those I find more sad than funny.

Atheists go to the extremes too, you just can't see that because you're one of those who are usually in the extreme, judging by some of your posts... you know, sort of like how a far-right nutjob can be convinced that everyone to the left of them is an "extremist" if all they watch is Faux News. In other words, most people measure "extremist" by how close a belief is to their belief, so to you, it's almost impossible to be an extremist atheist.
/rant

That all being said... no, Jesus didn't ride dinosaurs. He flew with his big, fluffy angel wings and used his halo as a generator for infinite energy :yes:.

 

[te_lanus]

The real question to me seems to be not whether Jesus rode a dinosaur or not (it is plainly obvious that He did) but what sort of dinosaur he chose as his mount.

 

[monta]

Ah so that is what the cross is for, it's some kind of device for mounting the tall T-Rex, I thought the tiny arms thing was a myth though ?

 

[Erebus]

Ah so that is what the cross is for, it's some kind of device for mounting the tall T-Rex,

You'd think that would be the case, but I'm afraid it's just not true. Look at how Jesus holds the cross over his shoulder, aimed towards the sky. It's actually a very primitive form of bazooka used for shooting down rogue pterosaurs and time travelling phone boxes.
T-rex mounted messiahs were the inspiration for modern "flak tanks".

 

[richardlowellt]

However, did we(humanity) not create ALL life threatening conditions in the first place?

No I don't think it was humans who created parasitic organisms like malaria, and a host of other microscopic horrors that invade our bodies. Did we also create diseases like ALS and other genetic diseases? How about the viruses that plague us like the HIV virus, the list is long indeed of things that bring death to humans that were created by humans but by this demon god.
