Dead Bigfoot in a freezer seemed pretty simple and straightforward to me.

When people ask me why I'm a skeptic, I ask them what the alternative is.

Bill Maher reminds me of the kid in middle school who was a total ugly short little schlub whom everyone picked on and he's never gotten over it. Bitter,
bitter, bitter.

Does the kid in middle school hang out at the Playboy Mansion now and never fucking shut up about it? Because Bill does.

I heard once that someone believes that you can make a convincing argument on the Internet and possibly cause someone else to change their opinion.

Like 85% of america believes in god. It's not shocking that their inability to reason infects other lines of thinking as well.

Have there ever been any cool Occam's razor flames? You know like "Occam just called. He said you should slash from left to right"? or something
better than that.

There are more to this world than just the physical existence. There is a spiritual existence that most people are ignorant to. For those of us who are
Enlightened, we can attest to this. It's something we cannot explain to those who are not enlightened yet.
You don't have to believe either way, just have an open mind. Sooner or later, the truth will come out. |

Racism is believing stupid ****.
Bigotry against gays is believing stupid ****. Bigotry against people of faith or people of non-faith is believing stupid ****. There is a limitless supply of believing stupid ****. |
