Atheists arguing about religion is like fish arguing about a barren desert. You cannot argue about something that you cannot comprehend.

Philosophically there are many questions that are unanswered in why we exist, why we are who we are, how we came to be, and our self conscious. To put down someone because they believe in a Higher Power is ridiculous unless you have these answers, and believe me, you do not.

Quoted from the AT Garage for lulz

I was recently in a minor car accident and totaled (not really but the insurance company says so, so whatever) my Mazda Protege.

They are giving me $7,500 and now that I am 27, I can finally get a powerful car and not get raped by insurance.

By any measure, I am a gifted mechanical engineer and would like to put together my own car.

I either want a 500+ HP truck or car within that budget.

Ideas?

(Plan B is to get a new HEMI Dodge RAM for $20,000)

That thread goes on with the OP requesting a 20,000lb towing capacity as well. D:


The real question here is did the OP sleep through engineering schooling, or excel at troll schooling? Ok, no it isn't, that answer is pretty obvious.

Nothing a posteriori is certain. That does not make all related beliefs reasonable.

Nice try, though.

Oh, and don't use, "Philosophically." Your word would be, "Retardedly."

Atheists arguing about Unicornology is like Gryphons arguing about the underwater city of Atlantis. You cannot argue about something that you cannot comprehend.

Philosophically there are many questions that are unanswered in why we exist, why we are, who we are, how we came to be, and our self conscious. To put down someone because they believe in Unicorns is ridiculous unless you have these answers, and believe me, you do not.

I'm in complete agreement. Atheists' naive understanding of Unicorns shames only themselves. Only those versed in sophisticated Unicornology may comment intelligently.

Thanks, I was about to write something like that.

You put it much more eloquently than I could.

After following this thread, I can't help but notice there must be some recursive trolling going on here.

Let me explain...

Your most simple troll exchange is "Troll A baits Victim A", a statement which for simplicity can be referred to as Troll Exchange of Dimension 1 (TD1).

But for all we know the victim could really be the troll: "Troll B is personifying Victim A who is trolling TD1" (TD2).

There is no reason the series couldn't continue indefinitely...

(Troll A' personifies Troll A who trolls TD2) = TD3
(Troll B' personifies Troll B who trolls TD3) = TD4
(Troll A'' personifies Troll A' who trolls TD4) = TD5
...

I'm sure some smart math folks could prove some laws of trolling using structural induction, but from what I've seen so far we must be at troll dimension of 3, possibly higher.

Are you seriously going to bring this into a troll thread that wasn't even about religion until a random comment by the troll suggesting the Bible was written in the year 0? That's who your going to back up? D:

I don't think the OP's question has been answered correctly before the trolling started.

If you want to find the area of a square, you square (x^2) it's dimension.
If you want to find the volume of a cube, you cube (x^3) it's dimension.

Now we return you to your troll posts.

If they are helpful to you, yes.

edit: Harry Potter is 10 years old, and the Bible is 2010 years old. I'm not suggesting anyone substitute Harry Potter for the Bible just yet.

The Bible as it stands today is not 2010 years old (it also depends which version of the bible you are reading). Perhaps you should read up about the history of the book you hold so near and dear to your beliefs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_Christian_Biblical_canon

In the year 0, I think it was about all that was available. No Harry Potter just yet ;-)

Actually, there is no such thing as "year 0" in the Gregorian calendar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_(year)

Also, how did humananity manage to not wipe itself out for the ~300,000 years prior to your "year 0" (i.e. 1 BC or 1 AD)? By your reasoning, the only reason not to kill one another is because the Bible says not to. How did Greece, Egypt, the Aztecs, etc all manage to build these massive societies before the Bible was even created?
