Given the Church’s history of child predation, it seems really icky to have these movies where a priest comes in and basically tortures children, but it’s okay because demons.

If they wanted it to be as fantastical as possible they could have had him go after the abusers and pedophiles within their own ranks

The text accompanying these slides doesn’t describe what happened in the book. It wasn’t the Overlords who had plans for the human species. They were going where they were sent and doing what they were told.

Or as any sane country would see it: the imposition of religious beliefs onto others.

I like how this movie is there suspense of disbelief jumped the shark for you. It ended for me, with the lack of cops and any gov’t agency letting him travel across the world. Nor the general public turning a blind eye to I dunno mass killing done by one man all over the world?

Major demonstrations that man-made climate change isn’t actually happening consist entirely of Facebook Science. Same as Flat Earth demonstrations.

I just don’t really buy physicists are wilfully ignoring MOND or being childish or the like. Rather that whilst it does predict some stuff well, the holes it has in it are pretty large and don’t have obvious ways to fill them, and that doesn’t seem to changing. A lot of dark matter-centric theories seem more solid, at…

The difference between those two scenarios is called evidence. That’s the difference between religion (fantasy bullshit) and science (reality).

“It’s a wild new theory...” don’t you mean hypothesis? 

For a sequel to a ok cartoon from a decade ago ,this had no right to be as great as it is .

NdGT will point you to Sagan and rightfully so: “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”

Unfortunately, all we keep getting is repeats of the same narrative from that original NYT article, some slapped together sensationalist CGI, and people like Lou who say, “Don’t ask me cause I’m not gonna tell ya.”…

My first feeling upon watching trailers like these is the horror of wondering how many people who will see it will not immediately understand that this is pure carnival row theater.

Ah, this has it all. “Tell all” interviews with people with “questionable” credentials, 2010-ish bland CGI stock footage, and of course, Dr. Michio Kaku!

Every time I hear someone spout off about the Gubmunt keeping space aliens secret from us, all I can think is, “Why would space aliens keep themselves secret from us and deal with our puny Earth ‘Leaders’?” No, they are going to announce themselves and do whatever the hell they want when they get here. They might…

Looks very sensationalized, hitting a lot of the same conspiracy beats we’ve seen hundred times before. Not interested.

You don’t strike me as someone who understands what “ideologies” are and how they are taught.

That’s why they were crying about books being removed? Maybe a teacher such as Covey knows a bit more about kids than you.

My brother is a teacher in Florida, where it is illegal for teachers to strike, period. They also get paid like nothing compared to other states. I get much better pay in California which doesn’t even pay that great. Could teachers still strike? Sure. But is very hard considering their limited income and the legal…

In fairness, knowing this was Florida, if Covey had wanted to end up with paid administrative leave pending an investigation, he shouldn’t have shot video of the bookshelves with his phone, but rather with a gun.
