Do people hate the actual belief in God, or just the religious organizations?

Get started presenting it in that thread, then. The "evidence" I've seen is actually a bunch of supposition strung together with requirements that simply won't withstand scrutiny. Bldg 7 was demolished? Great. How and when did they wire it such that not a single person noticed it? etc etc.

No, it is silly. It is ridiculous.

again, i dont want to discuss it. youre the one who suggested that if i didnt then i would look crazy or something like that.
"if youre gonna say it wasnt muslims and dont even bother supporting it then your gonna look like a nutjob"
paraphrasing

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's slow down here a little, Kemosabe. You seem to have forgotten that this topic opened with you ridiculing someone for thinking that 9/11 was committed by Muslims. Now you want to beat your breast because I'm pointing out that you look like a nutbag when you posit a conspiracy but refuse to give evidence for it?

I can't say I blame you. I wouldn't want to defend a baseless position either.

or you can take it on faith that its crazy and not review the current evidence.

up to you.

... or I can ask myself, how could the government wire at least one and perhaps three buildings -- a process which would take weeks if not longer, without a single person of the 70,000+ who work in them noticing? Or I could ask myself, how would Israel benefit from increased Middle East tension? Or .... your assumption that I'm taking my stance on faith is wrong. You see, I've reviewed quite a bit of the "evidence" on which you're basing your points (assuming you're not positing, say, Godzilla and King Kong pulled it off, or something). You tell yourself I haven't so that you can disparage my disagreement as "faith", and feel better about your own favorite narrative. It's okay -- people do that all the time.

But reaching for the most ridiculous "explanation" -- and let's face it, there's no conspiracy theory that explains the events of that day in a cogent manner -- reaching for the most ridiculous explanation is, to use Occam's words, multiplying entities needlessly. I've got better things to do than to chase down and refute every idiotic "theory" John Jackass comes out with.

Not all ideas are equal. Deal with it.

if you want to get into it, be my guest. ask me anything.

Boy, that was a quick change of heart on your part.
