    The beacon that makes light, the light that makes heat, the heat that impels fire, the fire that lights our way. You are indeed brave, good sir knight, and fight with the strengths of many men. Thank you, amicus meus.
    Rest now, praeliator, your work here is finished.

      Please read! In Serbia, where I am from is happenning something extrodinari stupid. Some religious idiots are trying to move NIKOLA TESLA urn from MUSEUM OF N TESLA TO ORTODOX TEMPLE OF Holly Sava. It is related with corruption and politicians are trying to kiss ass of church because some priests supported them durring the elections. Some idiots decided that Museum of Nikola Tesla is not a propper place to hold urn with Teslas ashes. It has been hold there for more than 50 years and now they want to move it although it is well known that Tesla was an atheist and his last wish was not to be burried or to have any religious cerremony durring the death. Tesla is a Serb but he is not our property he is property of the whole world. Therefore we are all respocible. Please share this message in USA and other countries to fellow atheist and sane ppl. If U are able to contact any media in USA that would be great. In less than a month smecial comittee will decide what to do. But the thing is already decided and comitee is just a formality. PLEASE answer! I already sent this message to few atheist chanellse please share this. Thanks in advance!

    Despite being a cynic towards the human race, I have faith that humans will survive for millions of years. Even when the Sun expands to become a red dwarf, humans will pull Earth outwards to a wider orbit to protect the planet. Mankind will have long since ventured to nearby star systems but will save Earth because it is our planet, not out of necessity. We will survive even if we have to scale a mountain of bones from our mothers and fathers. Assholes always survive.

      Even if we dont i think its already a miraculous situation that we made it this far at all.....We managed atrocity and art, but somehow always felt unfufilled. In my opinion the beauty of life is its unwavering Fragility. There is no doubt we will disappear one day; that doesnt make the journey less incredible.

      Unread? You must be shrooming good sir. Quoting bible scripture isnt considered scientific and ancient mythology has no relevant claims about the natural order. Otherwise I would have sailed to the edge of the earth by now.

      You didn't even bother to see his statement.
      You're an imbecile.
      BTW, God's word mentions the circle/sphere of the earth (no edges blockhead) and that the earth is hung on nothing.(look it up ( i wont do your homework for you))
      You are unread as well..
      Get rid of your presuppositions and find out for yourself or stay in your ignorance.

      Joe Eoj It also is all written from a geocentric point of view, which is dead wrong, and exactly what you would expect from primates of that era. I saw your comment earlier , and thought you were a troll , but maybe you're serious?

      Joe Eoj Funny that we have words like sphere or orb but bible says circle or round, like a dinner plate being flat but circular. Bible also states Jesus taken to a mountain top and shown all four corners of the Earth or something like that which would again suggest writers thought world was flat. The bible contains 100's, probably thousands, of contradictions so why do you quote it?

  • @madisoneclectic3101

    I only recently discovered Christopher Hitchens. I thought him a brilliant hero. Then I saw him emotionally and vociferously deny the dramatic differences between the races. All credibility lost.

    • @madisoneclectic3101
      @madisoneclectic3101 Před 8 lety +2

      No, stupidity is boasting of being a "biological scientist" and saying there is no such thing as race. If I were you, I would seek a refund on that phony degree. This is like a physicist saying there's no such thing as gravity. Add yourself to the list of people with zero credibility. Name-calling is the most shameful way of admitting you've lost the argument. Here's a tip for you: Try thinking with your brain, instead of your feelings. It works a whole lot better.

    • @madisoneclectic3101
      @madisoneclectic3101 Před 8 lety

      I do not speak from "dogma." I speak from 100% established science. To deny racial differences is to believe the moon is made of cheese and the earth is flat. Science has established significant, consistent and predictable racial differences. It is simply fact, whether I or you or anyone "believes it" or not. Universities, it is well known, have an agenda which is purely reflected in their curricula. I dated a college girl studying "psychology" (yeah, right) and when I asked her what she thought of "The Bell Curve" she summarily dismissed it, just as her "professors" had taught her to do like a good little puppet. I know what goes on in universities. It takes an independent mind and critical thought to learn the real facts of science. Look beyond your puppetmaster-prescribed, so-called "text books" and learn the obvious truth. I will no longer reply, as I have not the time nor inclination to school the willfully ignorant. I beg you, shake off your conditioning. Seek the truth.

      @madisoneclectic3101 Před 8 lety

      Any two-year-old child can innately recognize races different from his own. Besides, didn't you get the memo? The final death blow to race-deniers was dealt within the past year, when geneticists finally isolated African genes as being absolutely distinct from all other human "populations" (aka races) in that they are completely lacking Neanderthal genes. This places Africans about ~50,000 years behind the rest of the planet in evolutionary terms. They simply never left Africa. Ever. They were literally "left behind," to adopt the euphemism employed today to describe black academic achievement. You like the term "heritable traits" but you reject genetic differences. That's self-contradictory. I grow weary of arguing against a flat earth.
