The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

[Thumpalumpacus]

You guys trying to offer a logical explanation instead of conceding that you just don't know, would mean that you believe everything in the universe to be known.

Flagrant nonsequitur: fifteen yards, and, ideally, the loss of a keyboard.

This has to be parody. You, the Bible-thumping conspiracy theorist, with the arrogance to pretend you know things you obviously don't, actually suggest that we---atheists---don't admit there's things we don't know, maybe can't know... because we try to really and truly understand ourselves and our surroundings? Ha!

Accomplice? didn't catch the part where the news team picked the time and place? that's the difference between the two video's, you don't get to set the conditions with Penn and Teller.
The shaky cam just means that the camera is at max zoom.
It was clearly a sphere and radio controlled craft cant get that altitude, at least not affordable ones, use your brain.
Also, what would be the motive in creating this elaborate hoax, money defiantly wasn't one.
Oh, and he's dead btw...

The ironic thing is that your explanations are just as ridiculous, "hey! it's a High flying RC crafts that happens to be a glowing sphere."

Huggy, I've read most of this thread now and as usual, I'm always perplexed by the utter disregard for reason and the blind devotion that sheep have for a religion that considers them closer to livestock than humans. If you're a woman, a person of color, or even a native of a community or country that doesn't practice Christianity, than guess what pal - Jehovah simply doesn't like you and has made that abundantly clear in that immoral book we've dubbed, the Bible.
More to the point though ...

Are you really going to sit there behind your computer and tell us that you actually believe that your "all-powerful" god was communicating to a self-proclaimed prophet, telling him to summon alien aircraft that coincidentally are always a great deal off, never land on the lawn in front of him, and always have the same non-descript spherical shape? Are you really going to tell us that your god wanted to demonstrate his power by contacting one crazy old nutjob only to show us that UFOs are real if we have a telescopic camera and a healthy imagination?

Fuck it, Lets make a short list so that we're all real clear on how ludicrous and gullible you are:

1. You believe that a godman walked the earth with no more evidence for this than the writings found in one book that 80% of the world's population do NOT believe.
2. You accept that the writings of a handful of primitives is factual even though you discount the writings of thousands of other primitives.
3. You defend the deplorable actions of a deity who proudly boasts of his own anger, wrath, vengeance and jealousy by using words like manslaughter instead of murder. (Your mental gymnastics by the way would make a pretzel barf.)
4. You worship a deity that clearly endorses the owning and beating of slaves.
5. You pray to a wizard that built a garden and made a tree that he knew would lead to him requiring himself to sacrifice himself to himself to save us all from a place he made himself.
6. You now claim that that same deity is using UFOs to prove his existence in a way similar to every other UFO video sighting EVER MADE.
7. You are a bona fide cult member, imprinted and utterly lost.



Stop selling that dark disease and let your mind free. You should join us over here in the light. In truth, you'd probably be a nice addition if you could shake all that stupidity off.

Am I to assume by your response that you think it's a fact that God doesn't exist.

Must I define "faith" for you again?

Yes because blind faith this is that its belief without evidence. Even with evidence that is contradicting your belief like many theists you deny evidence and keep on having faith.

THAT'S all you got out of all that?!? Seriously?!?

Here, let me help you: it's where you pretend to know shit you cannot know in order to satiate an urge to feel important in the face of a universe which doesn't accord you the special treatment you so obviously crave.

That's religious faith, in a nutshell.

[Mudhammam]

Must I define "faith" for you again?

Is that how you think it works? You get to define terms for everyone else? Is that so you can prevent certain parts of your mind from opening up to the world before you?

[Norman Humann]

Must I define "faith" for you again?

Absolutely. Don't forget to melt multiple denotations of the word into one, include translations from Greek and Hebrew and quote a piece of scripture to go along with it. And then claim it's not what you meant.

Just like you did the first time.

[The Reality Salesman01]

So...having a hard time, Huggy?

[robvalue]

I created the universe, and you can't prove me wrong. And since I was there, I'm an eye witness, reporting back right now. Can you beat that?

Got a better explanation?
