  1. There is exactly *zero* evidence pointing to anything supernatural. The religous posters have nothing substantial to offer in your search for the truth. If what they claim was the truth, it wouldn't require faith as a starting point. It would stand up to skeptical inquiry by itself without faith and it doesn't. For those silly enough to argue that "well you can't prove that god doesn't exist", google "Russel's Teapot" "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  2. They didn't have moving pictures back then..... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  3. Hell, boy...there's a DZ in the town you live run by two of the finest people in the business..... www.flyfreeskydiving.com "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  4. Read the "Mission and Belief" page on the OP's link. Credibility probably isn't this publication's strong suit. It seems to be designed provide the right wing nutters and religious fundies material to jerk off en masse. I think I love you
  5. Both valid concerns, imho. Well said. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  6. This is a clear case of someone I respect being duped into furthering the agenda of of an unscrupulous "reporter". Max, what are you prepared to do to prevent this happening in the future? What action will you take? Inaction is not the answer. A healthy skeptical mindset must be put into place and critical thinking skills must be mobilized to prevent you being used like a tool in this manner again.(All said tongue in cheek, but you get the picture....) Mike- think about what it takes for you to accept something is the truth. Raise the bar. I hate to see fellow skydivers so easily tricked. You guys are better than this. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  7. So, it's like Kos, DemUnderground, Mathhews, Olbermann and ABC/NBC/MSNBC/CNN/CBS for you guys? You guys? You must mean the extreme left wing nutters....that's not me and I can't speak for them. I personally will take ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN over "The Cypress Times", or any other publication that bases it's mission statement on biblical scripture. It's fun seeing how easily some people are worked into a tizzy by a rag like this. I can just imagine veins popping out of people's foreheads! "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  8. So you think we should invade Mexico, driving straight to Mexico City killing everything that moves along the way? (since we're reaching and all...) He didn't say that, now did he Dave? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

  10. No it's not...you're deluded by the world. Deluded by what's real and can be tested. Deluded by reality. Deluded by verifiable truth. Enjoy your koolaid. Jakee, that link was very entertaining...thanks! "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  11. It's not a myth...the truth is in the application. ...which btw, is very hard to do. Gotta call BS on that point...the placebo effect is very easy to demonstrate. Your christianity is a myth just like every religion that came before it, or exists concurrently with it. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  12. as long as it's not Christianity, right? The mind is a powerful thing....if christianity triggers a placebo effect and he gets relief, great....just don't try to pass off the religion as anything other than the myth it is. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  13. Placebo Effect? Whatever is at play, I'm glad it's working for you. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  14. Yeah....that must be it. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I think having a delusional counselor is a bad idea. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  15. This insight into your past is enlightening.... I would think that it would be in the best interest of the patient to have a counselor wasn't delusional. (Someone who doesn't think he's interacting with "spirits" or has imaginary friends...) In this hypothetical situation, I would hope that you would refer him to a reality-based mental health professional to get the help he needs. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  16. http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=spiritual+illness Holy Shit! It's on the internets....it must be true!. I'm sorry, Ron, It's obviously NOT complete and utter bullshit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlatan "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  17. I don't charge for my services. The Lord provides. Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I thought the topic here was "spiritual/mental illness"....Not you. Either way, "spiritual illness" is bullshit. Oh, I don't know. I once drank some stuff that was labeled "neutral grain spirits," and it made me really sick. Don't touch the stuff anymore. Blue skies, Winsor Haha!! Good one Winsor!! I figured there must be drinking involved! "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

  19. To logic, science and reasoning, perhaps. Which may or may not work for pirana. However, that approach has little to no positive affect for those who suffer. Well, that depends upon one's point of view and what they are suffering from. Pretty words wont cure broken bodies .. "Spiritual Illness"....Sounds like a way for people to make money. I think the earlier comment about treating one delusion with another nailed it. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  20. Humans are my favorite animal. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  21. "Tin Foil Hat" is..... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  22. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  23. True....if you're talking briskit. Now if you're talking pork, Tennessee is hard to beat. Pork isn't BBQ, it's something else. Beef is the only real BBQ. Try saying that in Memphis!
