Yes, it's a fact. Just as it's a fact you mind is diseased and you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

I pointed to one quote that nicely summarized the tactics of NDT. Perhaps you missed my later comment, which suggested disregarding the source and using the video to form an opinion. I wasn't supporting the author or the source. I've listened to enough NDT to know that he thinks his own intelligence somehow transcends even the highest of human intelligence. He then resorts to wittily insulting the intelligence of those who dare embrace contrasting opinions.

Yeah, I was just pulling your leg. Just a lowly engineer with a minor in geology who is studying law. When one's theory is based on inconsistent data collected during an insignificant period of geologic time and requires one to forsake the basic laws of thermodynamics, it's simply not a workable theory.

Your own photos show that the donations are voluntary, not mandatory.

As far as "free" you do realize that the church has expenses that need to be paid? Or maybe the electric company and water company can give them free service and everyone else's bill goes up to cover the difference.

In which case you'd whine about that.

If you don't see any point in existing besides worshipping someone you've never met, then that's pretty damn sad. I think there is much more meaning to life than just God, like say bettering yourself and those around you. That is your primary meaning is trying to leave the world a better place than you entered it. I think that some of you wackos imagine heaven being something like a glorified North Korea.

I'm saying you if you believe your brain is the end product of a mindless unguided process, then there is no meaning. You don't get meaning from two particles bumping arse.

So what is your meaning?

Also, the brain and personality can be altered. You can literally change a person

I'm thinking your insecurity that we are largely formed out of chemical reactions is more of a bruise to your ego. You think the world is all about you, your species, and having to serve something higher than oneself. That's fine and all, but the universe's scale is beyond anyone's comprehension. If the sun were the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen, then relatively speaking the next closest star would be 4 miles away and the Milky Way as a whole would be the size of Russia. I think even contemplating that you're not all that special is what prevents you from seeing the cosmos for what it really is. We are pretty pointless in the grand scheme of universal order, and you refuse to even contemplate it.

I contemplate it quite a bit. But what is your point in a pointless universe? You have no point if your brain is an end product of a mindless unguided process. There is no point to two particles bumping arse no matter how much time you add. Meaningless begets meaningless.

What is your point?

I don't think that impacting and infraction with others in this lifetime is pointless at all. Scary that some people think that way IMO

We're on the same page. I wasn't calling out anything you said. I simply pointed out the hypocrisy in the article.

I agree. His point has no point. Mine does to try and better the world and the people around me. His is something you'd hear from a North Korean, in "having to appease and make the Dear Leader proud". That's a sad existence if you think that's the only point to life.
