Quote by: SteveA The Earth was created about 7,000-8,000 years ago and then a bit later God buried dinosaur bones around. This happened a bit before recorded history.
Also, the universe orbits around the Earth, or to be more exact, humans. Whenever someone jumps up and down, the person doesn't truly move, the universe simply bounces off their feet. |
Whoo, what great humor.
Especially that last statement about the universe bouncing off people's feet, sends this humorous arrangement of reasoning over the top.
I love humor, and somedays the seriousness of our discussions begs the lifting effect of good humor. However, being creative with the rules of these forums, and making someone the butt of derogratory comments, is destructive to everything we value. The only hope of the world is good reasoning. We need to engage disagreeing people in discussion if there is any hope of redeeming the world with reasoning. When we ridicule another, we damage the desired goal of these discussions.
If we tolerate ridiculing another for any reason, we announce to the world, this is not a save place to be, it is not safe to say to what we think, if we do not conform to the dominating dogma of others, we risk being ridiculed and degraded. Do you want me to demonstrate more clearly? I have years of experience at beheading and castrating those who annoy me. Is being better at tearing down others down, a desirable quality? Or would rather I stay off your case, and continue working on being a better human being myself?
That is the mad face. :) This is the friendly face. Which would rather promote in these discussions? Which do you think will be best of our experience of life?
