Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Quite nice, actually. The official description is "Malt enhancing upon tasting, it leaves the hops to offer a hint of bitterness without lingering and without acridity, and to take on a thirst-quenching role with a surprising flavour for a Pils" and I think that's not a bad way of putting it.

Haven't tried their other stuff yet but if they're anything like this I wouldn't say no.

I bet that's not what you meant though.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Haha well how about that. Maybe it's a lot harder to be irrational than what I thought.

For example one cannot prove ones own existence - I could argue that you are a figment of my imagination, like a person in a dream. You would be unable to prove that you were a self aware, autonomous human being.

Using atheist logic I should therefore consider all other humans to not be self aware, sentient, concious beings as they cannot 'prove' they have these qualities.

Would it not be better to accept that I can never know if other people are self aware like me? That I can never know if God exists or not?

I could claim that the universe was made by Aliens trying to brew beer in their basement, in your strain of thought.

The idea of walking on water, water to wine, committing genocide multiple times with the click of the fingers, getting up after one hell of a party which involved being nailed to a piece of wood and having a man with a sharp stick jag you until you go bye bye really needs evidence or people could say any bull shit was true.

Oh wait.

Also, why do you love Jesus? I mean, what did he do for your love, if such a being existed, he like his father would simply see you as another ant in the hill that they burn with their magnifying glass and lighter?

Frightfully easy to make claims isn't it?

I'll trump that. I claim the universe is nothing more than a 3D hologram created by 2D information stored at the edge of the universe, its a projection of a simulation from a quantum computer created by minds immeasurably superior to ours, and that the reason we exist is because these gigantic aliens who created it simply forgot to turn it off when all the useful meaningful information was already gathered. Its not only that we don't matter, its just that we're not, real. How's that for an existential nightmare?

Sucks to be us.
