Don't bring up God. ( that's not meant to be religious, but rather an entity that some say doesn't exist, because they can't see it or no one can prove it)
Twilight zone? I'm hearing Lloyd Christmas
I wouldn't compare atheism to conspiracy theories.
Quote:Rashean, I started this thread because there is NO EVIDENCE. A CNN story is not evidence. The deaths can not be confirmed using public records available for every other death in history. You have proven nothing.
Nor have you
This thread really brings to light the personal characteristics on this board. While I always thought having a board meet up would be fun, meeting a couple people from this board would sicken me.
There really are some awful people out there.

I think you read too much into it. This is a place that really has no personal accountability so people say what they mean in an inflamed way just to make a point. I have been guilty of that many times in the past. Who really cares if your board persona gets banned as a result? Just make a new one.
I guess what I'm saying is a lot of people say things here that they would never say in real life. This is a place of excess. Always has been, always will be.
people are making this out to be a moral issue on whether you believe or not, or don't know if you believe. this is honestly a philosophical question of epistemology, meaning "how we know the things we know"
certainly one can believe it happened based on simple things like, "it was all over the news" or "why would it be fake? that doesn't make sense to me"
however others they might question, "how do i know it really happened? what if what is being portrayed on the tv isn't real?" neither one of these ways of thinking is more justifiable than the other without evidence to back up the claim.
im still interested in the investigation being done by Wolfgang Halbig despite some here coming forward with what I would call personal evidence. I'm just baffled that the FOIA requests by Wolfgang are being answered with only further obfuscation. Give him the damn documents and prove him wrong, but they have not thus far after three years. That only makes a person question more.

As long as you're family, or a jags fan, I can look the other way on alot of things.
I just hope the far left lunatics realize they sound as crazy as the far right lunatics in this thread. Life as a moderate provides many of us with the ability to see the ridiculousness of both sides.
This proves my theory that moderates, just like conservatives and progressives, think everybody but them is crazy.
Quote:This proves my theory that moderates, just like conservatives and progressives, think everybody but them is crazy.
Even conservatives and progressives I know can admit they have people that are way too loony on "their side". There are plenty of respectable conservatives here that realize how stupid you guys are for buying this conspiracy theory.
Likewise, there are liberals here that don't push the bleeding heart leftist agenda.
Believing in a conspiracy theory based on your own rational research does not make you a bad person or an awful human being.

This research suggests it is.
Dailymail. That is all.

The University of Kent not the Daily Mail's research. Other places have the research.
Look around here, the same posters seem to think everything is a conspiracy and they all seem to have no empathy for others.

Why do you think they have no empathy for others?

When someone tells you their father or mother is dead, do you ask for proof?

If I had no reason to question such a thing then no I wouldn't ask for proof at all.
Quote:Why do you think they have empathy for others?
I think its more likely that they have empathy than that they don't. The internet and message boards arn't a very good place to judge it though as you can imagine.

And yet you did.
