Perpetually Horny | Anti-intellectual | Dumbo | Nobody's Favorite | Allegiance to the best argument and whoever propounds it.

I’m a strong Atheist who has read all the best arguments for Theism & thinks the epistemic probability for Theism is nearly 0, yet on nights like tonight where I feel I’m getting assaulted on a lot of fronts, it would be nice to have a God to believe in and prayers to meditate on



You know what this means? It means that the past, in a sense, still exists…if you’re in the right vantage point to observe it. To understand why this is possible, you have to recognize that everything you see depends on light. Objects are visible because they emit or reflect light. If something neither emits nor reflects any light, you wouldn’t see it at all ,you’d only perceive darkness or, at best, a silhouette. Now, the key point is that the speed of light is finite. Light travels at a specific speed…it doesn’t move instantaneously from one place to another. If that’s the case, then everything you see is actually seen as it was in the past. The amount of delay depends on the distance between you and the object you’re observing. When you look at your phone screen, you’re seeing it as it was a few microseconds ago….that’s how long it takes for the light to reach your eyes. When you look at the Sun, you’re seeing it as it was about 8 minutes ago, for the same reason. Now take this idea further….if an alien civilization were located 2,000 light-years away and had a sufficiently powerful telescope focused on Earth…especially around Nazareth or Bethlehem…it would catch Mary and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, planning on how to convince Joseph that the pregnancy was by the Holy Spirit…when in reality, she had a sexual encounter with a Roman soldier who later rejected responsibility for the pregnancy. 🥲




@_OKJ__ @Whizdom01 A brief rhetorical analysis. You wrote a low-grade heap of conjectural slop: ~700 chars, 130 words, > 20 negative affects… An incandescently obvious rendition of “cry” over concepts that lies comfortably beyond the vulgar limits of your intellect.
