The wacky things people believe
Came across this gem someone posted in an FB group.
Quote:If you want to be smart at something, you should pick an area of interest that you have the potential to know and control your words, and also something you can be really good at. This post is about why I believe that science and technology are very poor choices.
If an intelligent alien race came and revealed themselves to our species, all of the leading science and technology professionals and academics would jump to the back of being far less intelligent than even the dumbest of the aliens.
I could probably get Sheldon Cooper to agree with me. He once said he would jump at the opportunity to be an extra terrestrial’s pet, because the learning opportunities would be tremendous (also he says he likes having his belly rubbed).
My areas of interest are rhetoric, religion and the human animal (human nature) which led to me knowing my self. I believe I would be a lot smarter than these theoretical aliens about what it means that we are human, unless they only came here to eat us... but either way, I believe they should think of me as a peer.

That setting fire to your handbag can encourage veneration of a god, or bless and
sanctify others, or act as a reminder of the "sweet-smelling presence of the Lord".
I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.

Some of my cousins believe that cell phones give you brain cancer. I asked them how they knew this.

Are you saying that they're not smart enough?

So basically this dimwit's life choices are dictated by the hope that and alien race comes along, and that if such thing happens said aliens will be more interested in the earthlings that are ignorant of science and technology. There's a lot of implausability going on there.

Wow! That's literally one of the vilest things I've ever read. If ever someone needed castration that's that person (and I use the word person extremely loosely).

I was going to say that a 12 year old probably came up with this word salad but that would be an insult to most 12 year olds.

He should have it tattooed to his forehead and be made to wear a scarlet "R" for rapist sympathizer.

Quote:I have noticed how a lot of atheistic men here are so ashamed of their own gender.
They hate themselves for being men.
How did that happen? Did your daddies ignore you? Or did your mommas chop off your balls? Or maybe you were bullied at school for being gay?
The cringe these atheist "men" display is real. I have never noticed such low self-esteem in all my life and the many communities I know.
Which fuzzy flurry leftist hellhole do you lot hail from? Cali?

Surely earth is better for something more important than practicing their proctology?
