This thread don't be nothun!!!!!
1. If you think I post pictures just to make people uncomfortable viewing the threads, you are deeply mistaken

2. It is too bad that you don't know the (pseudo-)intellectual history of your religion. The questions I posted are just as meaningful as the "Inductive proof of the afterlife" thread and the debates about heaven and hell in other threads, and they are certainly based on the same principles of erroneous nowhere-leading reasoning. And they are questions that have been actually debated by scholastic philosophers (like St. Thomas Aquinas who some of those belong to, BTW), quite vigorously on top of that.

However no one seems to have gotten the joke that what you are debating is just as meaningful as the question about the angels on the head of a needle, which is one of the many reasons why scholasticism has been the laughing stock of every semi-serious thinker for the last three centuries. Which, in a way, makes it even funnier, I guess :confused:

BTW, I urge the moderators to do their job and clean up the thread
So now you're crying to the moderator? Countless times you've stretched the page out posting large ass pics, and when people POLITELY asked you to shrink them or post a link instead what was your answer?

Recently, you've gone on a RAMPAGE fucking up threads, posting shit that has NOTHING to do with the topic and you're crying for the mods now? The fact YOU initially mentioned posting pics shows you have a VERY guilty heart. You're crying for the mods to come in and clean up this obvious joke thread? What exactly did you think this thread was going to accomplish? You posted comical questions in hopes of inciting some type of passion, debate or discussion correct? Correct, so now you're getting it all in one wop.

I can't post a phylogenetic tree of all life in 1000pixels, it is simply not possible, how many times do I have to explain it? This is very different from deliberately posting a string of 5000 characters

As this thread was intended to demonstrate, those pictures had a deep meaning. And the questions I posted are not funny at all, the fact that you call them funny and in the same time seriously debate the characteristic of the afterlife, heaven and hell only shows how well you understand what you're talking about. Because there are thousands of pages of medieval literature discussing the afterlife, heaven and hell (and you are not saying anything new that can't be found there, believe me), and that's where those "funny" questions come from. People in 13th century actually debated those question, very seriously and on the same grounds that the afterlife is debated here.

That wasn't the only time you did it, and when people asked you to stop doing it do you know what you replied with? In the instance you did reference, you could have just posted a link to the tree of life or told someone to google. Question, how many people do you think actually took the time to read it? Do you think it was more of a hinderance to the thread or something that helped it? Think about the complaints before you answer that.

You're like the guy who found a rope and now he thinks he's a cowboy. You've just found out about Thomas Aquinas like two days ago and now you're some expert on God knows what.

Because there are thousands of pages of medieval literature discussing the afterlife, heaven and hell (and you are not saying anything new that can't be found there, believe me), and that's where those "funny" questions come from. People in 13th century actually debated those question, very seriously and on the same grounds that the afterlife is debated here.
Those are funny questions, and I can go downstairs, pull open some books and give you even more absurd questions. Some from the 13th century, some at least 13 centuries prior to that. Also, I can post instances of 20th century white science/med students asking if black people grew tails at midnight. What purpose will it serve? However, this will show you don't know what you are talking about:

Without looking at GOOGLE, or any other reference material, can you explain the political climate of 13th century Rome and the other philosphical movements that were going on at that time? Can you give us a brief compare and contrast scenario or a mini snyopsis that would explain how his (Thomas Aquinas) works did or didn't influence the east or western branches of Catholicism?

Thanks in advance, buddy.

EDIT: Times up. If Bablyon is set to fall in one hour, surely one hour was enough for you to do what it is you do...

The questions I posted are just as meaningful as the "Inductive proof of the afterlife" thread
Actually, they aren't. The questions you pose, like the thread on heaven and hell, hold certain presuppositions, which is fine. But this is not the same for the "Inductive Proof of the Afterlife" thread. You don't have to subscribe to a religious world view in order to consider the soundness of that argument. You simply have to analyze the premises and see what problems they might have or why they might not warrant the conclusion. You don't have to believe in God or souls or angels or demons or anything like that.

seeing things like this makes it easy for me to believe we evolved, as human beings, over time. this is what people of religion discuss and or believe in? Can someone explain to me how any of this is relevant to reality? i see people of religion do the most scanless things, then justify there actions by asking for forgiveness. this is a serious question? i'm not knocking you ThaG. i'm trying to understand the thought process for people that believe strongly in religion and the after life.
