Hello! I would like to know whether you have heard of the language Esperanto and what you think about it.

Saluton! Mi volus scii, ĉu vi aŭdis pri la lingvo Esperanto, kaj kion vi pensas pri ĝi.

This guy obviously doesn't have any other arguments.

I mean, you meet all the requirements, don't you?

... which is kind of related to the episode. (The quote is still going through public admin.)

This is just MORE OROOF that Jesus IS out there, & He's roaring like the Lion of the Tribe of Judah that He is! EVERYTHING points back to God! Science has just proven that God IS REAL--& not the other way around~ Take a look at the very 'glue' that we,humans have in us,gluing our cells together---its in the shape of a cross! Its called Laminin. Also,in the Black Hole,Nasa finally got to get a pic of it & guess whats inside of that? A CROSS! The Lord is trying to get the worlds attention! Next time Jesus comes back, it WILL BE as the Roaring Lion of the Tribe of Judah! So, don't miss out! We cannot even 'imagine' how Heaven is going to look! Just pray a simple prayer--asking God to reveal Himself to you,if He is real. I promise that He WILL! Blessings to you all!

The Lord is trying to get the world's attention ... by hiding microscopic crosses in our bodies and one in a black hole who knows how far away? I guess that's a better way than those subtle things like flooding the earth or parting a sea.

What are your thoughts on Richard Dawkins?
I have to say that I am quite fond of him, but some seem to think that he is a fundie himself!
What do you say about that?

They are airing this frikkin' Bible Code documentary in German right now!

That's at least the way I have to interprete this comic:



Hey, Shane, maybe you could make an episode on homophobia.

Say, Shane, how come you never made a video pwning VenomFangX?
Is it because he is smaller than you?

Read this and please tell me that it is satire.

Also, I used this opportunity to open one unifying thread for every bogus internet find.
Partly because I couldn't come up with a better title for this thread.

[Edit:]

Hey, could you make an episode about Homeopathy?
It's amazing how many people take this seriously!

Edit: I found this YouTube channel, which should supply you with material.

So, yeah, I have been slacking on the subtitles. I apologize.
However, there is one thing I want to ask: Should I subtitle the songs in the pareidolia episode?

Shane, I think you haven't introduced the new Bogometer yet.
Maybe you could tell us a little about it?

(I am only typing this because the forum does not acknowledge a bare video as message body content.)

Have you heard of Ray Comfort's supposedly scientific proof of god's existence?
It goes as follows:

A painting proves that there was a painter who painted a painting.
A building proves that there was a builder who built the building.
Therefore, the universe proves that there was a creator who created the universe.

I would like to explain why this nonsense.

While it may sound logical that a painting proves that there was a painter, upon closer examination it turns out to be a tautology (a tautology is a form of circular reasoning without in-between steps; in other words, you say the same thing twice but word it differently).
For you see, a painting is by definition something which has been painted by a painter.
If something has not been painted by a painter, you cannot rightfully call it a painting.
So by calling something a painting, Ray Comfort already assumes his conclusion, namely that the object he is referring to has been painted by a painter.
The same goes for the building.
So now it becomes obvious why Ray Comfort's analogy is flawed: In order to conclude that the universe had a creator, he has to presume that the universe is a creation - the same way he presumed that something is a painting or building before - which is the very thing he is trying to prove, which makes his reasoning circular.

I hope everyone understood that.

There was also another video of him talking about infants' pee, but that was removed due to copyright infringement.
Fortunaly, I sent this transcript of it to Fundies Say the Darndest Things!.

Edit: Oh, I see that the other video was re-uploaded!

In short, you can interpret everything into everything by saying, "Well, this is a metaphor for this and that!"
See this for an example.

... I think you should make an official video advertising this forum.
Probably not many have seen the little blurb in the Bogosity episode.
