  1. My you tube is playing silly buggers. Is it the gp3 sideways somersault and fire ball? If so, that was his first time in the car, wasn't it? You wouldn't catch me getting back in the car after that!

  2. I'd say the gospels fit nicely into the paranormal, and thus, into this thread. But you're right; we've had this discussion before and we don't want to bore everybody.

     

    One more thing I will say though, is that you didn't derail the suggestion that the gospels don't corroborate each other. You simply stated that they do, which doesn't count for much. Especially when they flat-out contradict each other in parts.

  3. If you work on the assumption that they're written by who they say they are..

    ...then you also have to work on the assumption that the laws of physics didn't apply 2000 years ago.

     

    If this (or any other of the clearly made up things in the gospels) were confirmed by even one of the many contemporary writers there might be a discussion worth having. Until then, it doesn't matter who wrote the gospels. You have to prove the authenticity of the bible before you can use it to prove the authenticity of anything else, let alone itself.

  4.  it is fairly common knowledge how toxic mercury is..

     

     

    Yep. I lose at least one loved-one every year to the dreaded mercury-poisoning blight. Those evil Jew dentists. That fluoride thing will probably be the main reason why our teeth all fall out before we're 30 and we die of the associated complications. Oh wait...

  5.  

    Would you consider someone who uses flouride free toothpaste, not through any allergy or sensitivity but because of things they have read online on various sites, to be a tin foiler out of interest?

     

     

     

    Not at all. I would want to check the evidence myself before jumping to that conclusion. However, insinuating that all dentists have impure intentions rings my alarm bells immediately.

  6.  

    I may be wrong.

     

    Yeah, you are. Cognitive dissonance is the mechanism that gives us humans the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs simultaneously and is typically a trait of religious nuts and conspiracy theorists rather than sceptics, although we all use it to a certain extent.

     

    I'm very intrigued by your arguments though. Essentially, they're arguments against believing conspiracy theories, which typically are supported by absolutely fuck all in the way of evidence, but somehow you're still coming down on the side of the tin-foilers. Very curious.
