Maybe he goes into a medically induced hibernation type sleep that makes it ok for him to be sitting up.

American Pie Presents: Beta House - 10/10

I liked American Pie, and when I saw they put a couple of the sequels up on Netflix I decided to give The Naked Mile a Try. By the time he jizzed on his grandma, I’d had enough, and I think that was less than 10 minutes in.

Should I give Beta a try or won’t I like it given my review of Naked Mile?

Looks quite large. Maybe it has a business class reclining seat.

I also assumed he could sleep/eat in the capsule thingy.

Imagine if Spielberg had directed. Sitting here wondering what if.

Agnosticism goes further and is the belief that it is impossible for people to know or understand anything beyond the physical world. God could exist, but we could never confirm, deny, nor understand.

Yep. I don’t believe “I am your father” was envisioned until the drafting of Empire.

What about places like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq?

Again, my Lord, we are not entirely discounting your statements but rather your penchant for over generalization.

And you’re trying to make assessments based on not giving complete information. Nice tactic.

No, I am not. I was pointing out the fallacy in your arguments. I concede it is very dangerous to be a Christian or Jew in the countries you explicitly point out; I was not challenging that, but only pointing out your fallacious generalization. You said that odds are, if you live in the ME and are not a Muslim, you’d be dead. Not true, because most non-Muslims in the ME live in countries where they are concentrated and relatively safe (Israel for Jews, Lebanon for Christians).

If you grew up in Middle East, you would be muslim.

Nope!

If not there’s a good chance you would be dead.

Israel: 90% Jewish. Lebanon: 40% Christian.

No challenge there. All I am saying is that radical Christians/religious people and radical atheists are equally “in your face” about it. So your notion that normal religious folk have the burden of proof based on the idea that some religious folk shove God “in everyone’s faces” is blatantly ignorant and not self-aware.

Atheists shoving their beliefs in people’s faces is a thing that happened in the last few decades. Religious people doing it has spanned thousands of years…

You’re grasping at straws…

Edit: I don’t challenge the right of Atheists to raise billboards. They have every right. This was not my point.

Lord Haseo said:

And considering the fact the many MANY deaths that have occurred because people were so adamant about their God existing the burden lies in direction of those who assert his/her’s/it’s existence.

This doesn’t make any logical sense.

Darth Lucas said:

Well to be fair, the burden of proof lies on the person making the claim, not the one disputing it.

But is not the supposition that reality exists spontaneously without some type of creation just as radical a claim as that which states there is some divine overseer?

Frankly, I think it is rather difficult to assign the burden of proof to a particular party in this debate.

Do a little more research and a little less generalization and you might answer your own questions. I’m done conversing with you. You can stop having your tantrum now.

I haven’t generalized anyone; I have just judged the source of the teachings which is the Bible. You don’t even know what you’re arguing about. But go ahead and play victim.

But yes you have. You have blatantly dismissed an entire faith as misogynistic and homophobic based on a few passages that even most adherents to that same faith believe are ancient relics from a bygone era.

I don’t know about “most adherents” but it is heartening that the number seems to increase daily.

However it is disheartening that people still believe things like “homosexuality is a sin” because God supposedly said so.

Right. Like, none of those same Christians believe BBQing ribs is a sin. Yet that’s in Leviticus too. But the ban on pork existed for serious health reasons. Likewise the various rules on sexuality existed for reasons inherent to that society, and in some cases were actually liberal for the time. Leviticus didn’t mandate homophobia, it was already the dominant societal discourse. To totally reverse course would have been totally shocking. Things like this must change gradually, and they now have. There’s no good reason today to arrest people for sodomy, and even most clergy wouldn’t be in favor of such a thing. Yet many if not most of them remain opposed to gay marriage. It’s an evolutionary process.

Given that there’s over 200 billion Galaxies in our universe it’s pretty much statistically impossible that we’re alone. Now whether there is intelligent life elsewhere is a whole other conversation.

Not necessarily. There are actually some studies that suggest that the likelihood of life—let alone highly intelligent life—emerging in a star system is 1 in “more than the number of stars in the universe.”

In other words, there are some scientists/statisticians who believe that that emergence of life in one solar system out of 200,000,000,000^200,000,000,000 is statistically impossible. Earth by this metric is an outlier. You can attribute that to the shortfalls of statistics, God, whatever suits your fancy.

Also your supposition that statistics prove the existence of life but not intelligent life is kind of odd. If you’re going to make up a stat to prove that life exists elsewhere, why not go one step further and claim evidence that intelligent life must have evolved elsewhere in the last 300B years?

Got to get me a butterburger, cheese curds, and a chocolate malt whenever I road trip.
