Which religion is the best religion? Why, atheism, of course. Atheism is one of the few religions that allow its members to set themselves up as god, without all the wasted time of making a ritual out of it. Wouldn't you like to be a god? Become an atheist. It's the closest you will ever get. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Religion is OK as long as people don't try to convince other people. Live and let live, or how is it said exactly... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Otherwise it's the root of evil. This is part of the reason why we see atheism suggested in the schools... if in no other way, than by disallowing other religion. Atheism, the religion root of all evil. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Proof: Secret Barometric Bomb Technologies, Nuclear Technologies, Used To Bring WTC Towers Down![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.freedomsphoenix.com%2FUploads%2FGraphics%2F533-0416042828-a.jpg&t=665&c=r7t7Wx50wI6wsw) One thing comes to mind, right off the bat, and that is the fact that strong evidence exists suggesting that up to three thermonuclear devices were detonated at the World Trade Center site on 9/11, hence the nickname "Ground Zero." ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fshtfplan.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F04%2Fgroundzero.jpg&t=665&c=x6O6s4hHkLfXOw) I mean, what better way than to dupe the people yet once again by slowly conditioning them, over an extended period of time, to accept the fact that criminal factions of their very own government orchestrated the Pearl Harbor-like attack onto skyscrapers, buildings, in an American city.
That's right, when the not so secret 28 pages are actually released, in a few months, they will likely show Saudi involvement and government foreknowledge, like we already knew.
So tell us something we didn't know; like the fact that a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Department of Energy, study found high trace levels of tritium inside the WTC complex after the attack.

....have a look at Detroit. Here's a city that was THE epicenter of American vehicle manufacturing. The pride of American can-do hoo-ha and all that jazz. In fact, I'm going to coin that phrase into a word to describe American arrogance: American Candohooha. I know, it sounds like a river back east, but let's use it anyway. American Candohooha supported a population of over a million people in Detroit. All kinds of snazzy buildings and houses. They thought it'd last forever. Kind of like the ghost towns you find out here where I live. They thought that would last forever, too, and now you need a topo map to find these places.
Detroit now has about 700,000 people. They had something like 70,000 abandoned buildings. People starting fires left and right in them, sometimes up to 30 fires a night. The fire department was stretched to the limit and finally, a new fire commissioner said let fires in abandoned buildings just burn. Don't fight them. Wake up, America: This is your future. Detroit declared bankruptcy. This is where all major cities are eventually headed. American Candohooha is the past. What, the federal government is coming to save you? Did they save Detroit? Think about it. If the federal government really cared about Detroit, do you think they'd have let an epidemic of arson like that continue? No. They'd have called it "terrorism" and there would have been tanks and troops patrolling those neighborhoods with orders to shoot arsonists on sight and they'd have sent in a thousand fire engines and an army of federal firefighters. ....
The end is near everyday for everybody. Can I have an Amen brother! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Every day has an end to the day. And fuck Detroit and Lew Rockwell. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.sli.mg%2FeYkvmJ.jpg&t=665&c=VuVSIxZU75QxWw) The nice thing is that often when people in some of these minority groups hear the truth that they don't like, they start using the "F" word. Their security lies in their government check. And their fear of losing it drives them mad. Maybe if they would go out and get a real job... and even a real life... ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Isn't a spammer should be ban in any forum? As I see there's no evidence nor facts presented and that would be equal to an opinionated spam. Because the cycle is just keep on repeater. Refuted>Make an escape loop>Answer with another safe escape. Right badecker? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) To be fair the whole forum should get together and have a pact to just ignore him. Once nobody is listening to him, he'll goto another forum to spread his lies. The problem is that most of the people in the forum are looking for something that makes sense. The things that I say make sense. The only thing that you say, that you make sense, is proven to be wrong by what you say. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Make sense in your own perspective, we're giving you clear answers but you just make an escape hole to prove something on your end without even presenting the facts you imply and just repeating ur analogies over and over. So instead of wasting the time and the energy to type better to ignore you but I can see that your getting farther with your spammy post so I just remind people that spam is not allowed on this forum. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) What exactly are you saying here? I use the dictionary and the examples of science to show that science is a religion. Do you think that I wrote the dictionary? Did I make science up? You don't like to hear the truth as it resounds in your head after you read the dictionary and the description of "science." So you call me spammy because you don't like the truth that is out there for everyone to see. Well, this is a forum. So, that's okay. Push your head into the hole so you can't see anything except your own ignorance. As long as your welfare check keeps coming in, it doesn't matter much, does it? ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

A religion must include a god and a place of worship. Science has neither. If you believe in science you are an athiest. Scientology isnt a religion either, it is more of a cult
But the definition of "religion" doesn't say that a god is a requirement of religion. However, the activities and thinking of mankind in his presumptuousness, suggests that mankind makes himself out as though he were a god. So, religion always has a god, even though the definition doesn't require it. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Your definition doesn't. But as pointed out many times before, the standard dictionaries (those that existed long before "dictionary.com") have definitions of religion that include terms such as "supernatural belief" and "god or gods" in their definitions. If you want to go by the ancient dictionaries, move into the past. The present dictionaries are the language of today. There are many words that come into being because someone made them up, and people started to catch on to them, until they were recognized as words. Such words are the language of the day. This is Dictionary.com... the language of the day. Use it, or build a time machine and go back into the past. Of course, if you did that, you'd be strung up for proclaiming your atheism. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

The End is Not Near, It has Begun![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.freedomsphoenix.com%2FUploads%2FGraphics%2F693-0415083326-distress-flag.png&t=665&c=_q98bRRA4_avWw) I've gotten some emails from folks asking my opinion on "How's it all going to end?" As in, what major crisis is going to finally cause the American Giant to fall down and go boom? Guess what? There won't be a major crisis that does it. It's going to be a slow cascade reaction of crisis and disasters. What's more, it has already begun. We've already seen several of these disasters. More are on the way. The end has begun and is upon us.
Now, if you want to see what it will look like, have a look at Detroit. Here's a city that was THE epicenter of American vehicle manufacturing. The pride of American can-do hoo-ha and all that jazz. In fact, I'm going to coin that phrase into a word to describe American arrogance: American Candohooha. I know, it sounds like a river back east, but let's use it anyway. American Candohooha supported a population of over a million people in Detroit. All kinds of snazzy buildings and houses. They thought it'd last forever. Kind of like the ghost towns you find out here where I live. They thought that would last forever, too, and now you need a topo map to find these places.
Detroit now has about 700,000 people. They had something like 70,000 abandoned buildings. People starting fires left and right in them, sometimes up to 30 fires a night. The fire department was stretched to the limit and finally, a new fire commissioner said let fires in abandoned buildings just burn. Don't fight them. Wake up, America: This is your future.

Think about it. If the federal government really cared about Detroit, do you think they'd have let an epidemic of arson like that continue? No. They'd have called it "terrorism" and there would have been tanks and troops patrolling those neighborhoods with orders to shoot arsonists on sight and they'd have sent in a thousand fire engines and an army of federal firefighters. But Detroit has no value to the feds. Obviously.
The federal government knows something many of us don't want to admit. Eventually, several regions in the United States are going to cascade into collapse a lot quicker as they gain momentum. It's like an avalanche. It begins with the loss of manufacturing economies in cities where that is the lifeblood of that city. Once that's gone, the tax base that supports the infrastructure goes away. Thus, you can't really afford to take care of it anymore. Then with all the abandoned buildings, the fires begin. Before you know it, the place looks like Berlin in 1945. That's what happened to Detroit. That is the future of America as a whole.
The feds are probably trying to figure out exactly what they're going to be able to hold onto and consolidate as the "United States". Some regions are probably going to slowly move towards secession not because of political ideology, but for mere survival. Look, the feds sat there and let Detroit burn night after night and couldn't care less. Not every state or region is going to accept that from them. Not the Southwest I know. I would say we could look to probably Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and possibly Utah and Colorado forming a new nation of their own once their major cities start burning. California will be crapping bricks within a couple years because we'll block them from the Colorado River water. Arizona is already saying we need to start pinching off California's access to that water because of an epic drought we've got going on here.

Not going to happen. It should but won't. If it was going to happen it would have started with many others before her. Cheney, rumsfeld, bush, wolfowitz, kissinger, maybe most other american presidents and advisers too. But maybe the FBI investigation will get her.
Things are not going to be the same forever. The federal debt is rapidly approaching the $20 trillion mark, and if Hitlery becomes the next president, then we can expect it to rise to $50 trillion by 2020. Sooner or later, the Americans will lose their dominance, and they will be forced to end their interventions in various third world nations. Isn't this their ultimate goal? It's not that simple. First, it isn't the 50T mark that signals any sord of end of dominance for America. For example, if most other nations' debt has risen faster and higher, we at 50T may be a shining star. Second, the entire world is at various rates, becoming modernized. Lots of places are moving out of third world, perhaps the exceptions being the hard core muslim nations. We're all in favor of the entire world becoming more prosperous, that's a different thing than "America losing dominance." Other places are moving forward to become one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1316268.msg14538279#msg14538279The American dominance started when the chewing gun hit the beach of Normandy, then kept growing when people started to cross a wall in Berlin hidden under car seats. I don't believe a military dominance is a winning tactic. The chewing gum strategy had a deeper impact. We need to invest in that EMdrive now and start building Burger Kings all over the galaxy and beyond, using the meat found locally. America means to have a vision not being afraid of dreaming big, one Double Alpha Centauri Mermaid Meat Whopper at a time... Unfortunately, the 22 amino acids we need to live are not going to be found across the galaxy. If by some statisical fluke 21 of them were perfect but the 22nd was the wrong isomer, then those burgers would look good and taste good but would not keep you alive. And there should be higher and better uses for Alpha Centauri Mermaids, anyway.Yes. That's why we won't eat those Alpha Centauri Mermaids with purple tongue s. Technological evolution should be represented as a ripple produced in the water when you drop that rock. The ripple is predicting that, by the time we can travel cheaply across the galaxy, everything needed for a human to survive the trip will be in a container no bigger than a 3rd generation ipod.

In an attempt to leapfrog the planets and vault into the interstellar age, a bevy of scientists and other luminaries from Silicon Valley and beyond, led by Yuri Milner, a Russian philanthropist and Internet entrepreneur, announced a plan on Tuesday to send a fleet of robot spacecraft no bigger than iPhones to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system, 4.37 light-years away.

what are trump policies other than building a wall to counter immigrants? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) You mean his policies regarding immigration? His views are different from that of the other contenders (perhaps with the exception of Ted Cruz). Trump favors legal immigration to the illegal variety, and he wants to end the negative bias shown by the US authorities towards people who follow the rules and regulations to immigrate to the country. A few months ago I read an article where U.S. law enforcement took a gun away from an illegal alien - Mexican. The illegal presented his court case in such a way that the judge required authorities to give him his gun back before deporting him. I suspect that he could have switched his case around a little, and the judge would have had to let him stay, in addition to giving him his gun back. Sorry, I don't have a link to the case. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Why so many atheists, like Moloch, are constantly whining and acting so fearfully? It's like they are scared all the time ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) On the other hand, it is the hardcore Christians, who are acting fearfully. For example, many of my friends have asked me to convert to Christianity. Their argument is that if I don't accept Jesus as my savior, then I will face the eternal hell-fire after my death. Christianity is a religion which is based on blackmail and fear. Everyone has fear of the unknown. Anyone who thinks that he knows the future finds out differently sooner or later. The fear comes when people suddenly run into trouble because the future doesn't play out the way their visualization of it suggested it should. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

By Spencer's own logic, it is impossible that everything has a cause since then there could be no first cause. No, that is not his logic at all; you obviously did not read the text. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Just because a thing is literally unthinkable by us humans does not mean that it is impossible! If anything is thinkable, then it is thinkable that things do not need to come from somewhere. You can't have it both ways - either you can use logical inference or you can't. If you aren't using logical inference then anything is thinkable. There are only two points that we know about this: 1. There are some things that we haven't determined if they have come form somewhere or not; 2. There are some things that we know have come from somewhere. We haven't found anything that we know just existed, all by itself, without having been caused by something else. In fact, there are so many thing that we DO know have been caused by something else, that it is unlikely that the things we don't know about, simply, spontaneously existed. The idea of something being outside of the universe is something we cannot comprehend. Everything is part of the universe or else it does not exist... at least that is what our understanding is. Why is our understanding like this? Because we are completely part of our universe. However, because cause and effect, complex universe, and universal entropy show that the universe had a beginning, there must have been something outside the universe, and before it, to cause the beginning. Whatever it was that caused the universe, is something that would have to be outside of universal laws. If it weren't, it would simply have been part of the universe. The only way for the universe to have caused itself would be through some form of spontaneous, uncaused action. We have no evidence of spontaneity happening anywhere. There should be at least some dregs of spontaneity around if there ever was such a thing. We haven't found any. The whole thing boils down, again, to two points. There are tons and loads of cause and effect actions that have taken and are taking place, that we know about. There are some things that we don't know about. A third thing is that, although we can imagine and guess about spontaneous activity, we haven't been able to find any for sure. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
