Pie Bites: Co-workers say the darndest things.
"I just... can't see them existing."
The way she said it was more like a kid who'd stopped believing in Santa than any kind of religious belief. Which is part of why it floored me.

I don't believe that this LULztrain of "I don't believe"s and "I believe"s is gonna end anytime soon.
(Now, ask yourself this: Was the above statement an attempt at reverse psychology to, in fact, make the LULZtrain stop; or was it a genuine statement of belief?
If this starts to make your brain hurt, take two aspirin and divide by zero. X3

I think I can top that. Way back when I was pocket sized, I was in Sunday school one day after my dog had died of old age. I was telling the teacher how I was sad but I hoped he was in doggy heaven. The "teacher" just glowered at me with blood-shot eyes full of RAGE (not even kidding), and told me I shouldn't give a flying F about the deaths of pets because "animals don't have souls and God put them on Earth only to feed and amuse us." Tiny little me cried and cried and cried. Man, were my parents ever pissed. We never returned to that church building again.

If Genesis is taking as allegorical rather than factual chronology, it can be largely compatible with evolution. You end up with "God of the gaps" issues as well as God breaking the laws of physics etc., but I wouldn't go as far as calling it stupid or crazy. 1 + 1 = 3 is stupid and crazy, X + Y = Z is not stupid or crazy if X, Y, and Z are carefully thought out.
crazy is choosing to believe what you want to believe when all evidence shows that you are wrong - stupid is misinterpreting the evidence so as not to comprehend the incompatibility of the issue in question. Anyway, historically christianity was always taught as literal truth not allegory - this rather pathetic attempt at apologetics is a recent development in response to contemporary acceptance of evolutionary science as fact.
I don't believe in "global warming," per say. I do however believe in "global climate change" and the cycling of warming and cooling periods. There are multiple cycles you have to consider though, so it's not as simple as "oh hey it's warm so global warming."
Yay physics class~ x3
Funny thing, we're supposedly in the cooling phase of the Long Cycle, if I remember correctly. o.o lul.

Yup. Mithras is awesome to point out to die-hard Christians, as it's a worship that goes back hundreds of years before christianity.
-Born on Dec 25
-12 companions (though not disciples)
-Saves the souls of the dead
-Baptism, as well as a sacrament of bread and holy wine
-Buried in a tomb and rose again three days later. On Easter.
Comparing them more in-depth, most of the miraculous stuff can have a direct line drawn from Jesus to Mithras. After the third or fourth page, it gets pretty clear that it was just a cribbing to turn a good person with good ideas into something more supernatural and godly; also explains a bunch of the date inconsistencies... they aren't, if you realize that someone was bald-facedly jacking another religion to jump-start their own.
Then again, the christian church steals holidays like samurai steal kanji, so... yeah.

"Let's go to the mall and get some new Christmas decorations!"
"I don't believe in Santa. He's dead."
"Let's go to the zoo and look at monkeys!"
"I don't believe in evolution. They are all robots."
"Let's go to a museum on Roman history!"
"I don't believe in Romans."
"Let's go see the old factory villages!"
"I don't believe in the Industrial Revolution."
That's silly.
Would make a very silly Meme. One with at least more substance than a singular phrase.
I agree. If you don't believe in reality, at least give me insight on your fantasy world! D:

I was at a museum once and this fat woman in a purple dress was looking up at this giant pteranodon skeleton. She stared slack-jawed at it then announced to her son "Isn't it a miracle the lengths to which God goes to test our faith? If I didn't know better, I'd think they could have been real."
I literally made the same exact face and just... stared... at her as if hoping if I glared hard enough, her nose would flip up and engulf the rest of her head into the oblivion of her nostrils

AAAAAUGH the ones who actually go to natural history museums are the absolute worst. Clearly Almighty God could have never allowed such magnificent animals as dinosaurs to exist!
The hypocrisy is staggering. And don't even get me started on folks who shake their heads at evolution.

I don't believe in idiots, because they say things that defy logic, reason and current scientific evidence.
I don't believe in the bible because it's written by too many people who have too many personal opinions, and every English form I've found has been incomplete, and thus, inconsistent and it would be unethical for me to follow something that should have ALL the currently known information inside of it.
I don't believe in people who say they are messengers of "God" or whomever, because if they were, I would immediately be able to tell without them telling me.
I don't believe in going to a place of worship because it feels like a chore, is not enjoyable, and feels like a waste of my fucking time.
I don't believe in God or any other supernatural being because despite my best efforts and faith for years, I never received any help or answers.
I just believe in me.

Everyone, in their heart, still carries the sting of the moment when they realised that dinosaurs weren't real. For some, their parents told them; for others it was friends. And for some it was when they found the t-rex skeleton at the back of mum and dad's closet that they later "excavated" during an archaeological dig in South America
Joe: (narrating) 6:29pm. We questioned the guy who didn't believe in Santa Claus...a guy named "Grudge". (in story) Says here your name's "Grudge", is that right?
Grudge: Yeah!
Joe: Said you didn't believe in Santa Claus?
Frank: It's hard to believe what you said! Did you really say that?
Grudge: Sure I said it! How do you know there's a Santy Claus? You gotta picture of 'em?
Joe: No, no mugshot.
Grudge: Any fingerprints?
Joe: No, no leaving prints. I just know, that's all. It's like saying there isn't an Easter Bunny.
Grudge: That's ANOTHER guy there ain't no of!
Joe: Um-hum. Watch your story, Mister!
Frank: Joe, he just said that to make me fell bad, didn't he? There really IS an Easter Bunny, isn't there? Joe?
Joe: Listen, Grudge, didn't I pick you three years ago on a "1492", for not believing in Columbus?
Grudge: Yeah! I don't believe in Cleveland or Cincinnati, either!
Joe: How about Toledo?
Grudge: I...I ain't made up my mind yet about Toledo.
Grudge: Yeah!
Joe: Said you didn't believe in Santa Claus?

I can understand what they are saying. It's not so much that I don't believe in dinosaurs is that I believe that scientists could have arranged the bones they found in an entirely different way and created all new ancient creatures. I mean it's not like they were instruction guides that told them where each bone went.
The stupid thing is, the Vatican is cool with the idea of dinosaurs and the big bang. Creation from one single point making something vastly more impressive then what human's could have imagined and the whole "LOL, you suck dinosaurs! Eat meteor!" plays well into their idea of God. In fact to know science was to know God, and the bible has always been know not to have been the whole truth. Monks in the so called dark ages were actually very smart people. One was very close to making a GLIDER before he was stopped before he broke his legs again. It is only very recently that this close-minded fuck-tardary has come about.
But of course dinosaurs are real. They lived in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. There's a whole big museum just north of where I live that tells you so!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go cry in a corner. This is like the girl I used to work with who had a full-blown panic attack when our production line broke down just as the counter reached 666, and then couldn't understand why it didn't frighten me.

Damnit THOSE PEOPLE. Their bodes must be so contorted from hiding their heads up their own anuses that it'd make an octopus wince. This reminds me of one girl who my friend knew who…Get this…Didn't believe in giraffes. Giraffes!!! She thought that since she they didn't live in her own backyard (clearly, if she'd never experienced something it could not possibly be part of God's Creation), they couldn't possibly be real animals, and that giraffes at the zoo were people dressed up in elaborate stilt costumes!
I loled Sorta reminds me of this one scene from the Sopranos

I went to college camp with somebody who did not believe in dinosaurs. She said since the Bible made no mention of them, the only explanation for the finds of said remains was that man had made them up. Yup, that's right. Man made millions of huge bones, dug hundreds of feet into the Earth, buried said fake bones, and dug them back up dozens of years later.
Don't beleive? Hmmmmmmmmm...
Obviously she never seen the extensive work going into retrieving such parts from solid rock. It isn't like their just carving out the stone so its shaped like a bone. (Do take note, fossilized bones are basically rocks that gradual replace the organic matter with minerals of a buried bone)
Next thing she'll tell her co-workers is all those elephant skulls dug up in the Greek era really were Cyclops skulls.

I asked Wolfram|Alpha "area of Jacksonville, Florida / population of Earth" and it comes out to 3.067 square feet, or a square about 21 inches to a side--about the size of the average seat cushion. You could do it, but it wouldn't be comfortable (for people, anyway; the marbles would have plenty of room).
