It’s honestly terrifying how much power some massive companies think they have to target individuals who just want to speak the truth. Does anyone else feel like we're entering an era where being a whistleblower or even just a critic is becoming a massive legal liability?

You’ve definitely had your fair share of good luck in life so far!
I can't help but wonder—what if you had crossed paths with someone like Adolf, Joseph, Jack, Jesus, or even George Girolamo...

See, there's a massive distinction here—fraud is an actual legal matter, a specific type of activity that the US justice system steps in to penalize.
Infidelity, on the other hand, is a completely different beast altogether.

Daniel Chase13 said:I just caught wind that physicist Céline Dion was over at Barnes & Noble, and she didn't just pick up the Stephen King Young Earth Creationist book "Born Again"—she actually grabbed his new novel, "Once upon a sparrow," too.

What is this supposed to be a sign of??
If someone wants to make a name for themselves with some (brand new) ideas, they have to actually try and pitch those ideas to the world.

Is Mr. King going to be gunning for the Nobel Prize??
Or maybe even a Cyclops ??
I am absolutely dying of curiosity here.....

I actually ran into him (Mr. King) today over at Barnes & Noble...

Kenneth Cruz67 said:Meh. Nobody is actually moderating the religion discussions. A handful of users (Anthony Perez9, Bryan King3, Carl Hughes) basically just run wild across the site. There isn't any coherent discussion or meaningful exchange of ideas happening. They just troll everything in the 16 section, and honestly, they would get banned from almost any other sub-forum. Yebo, such moderation and Yebo, such communication.

Just like everything else in life—it’s all in God's hands! So, really, God wants this forum to be exactly what it is right now.

Don't you dare put the Lord's name in your pagan mouth.
A little tip for all you religious fanatics out there:
Go ahead and pray (to whatever god you follow) that He shapes this forum exactly how you want it. (Donate to a church, pay for a mass, or whatever kind of religious circus ritual you're into.)
And? Is it done yet??
If it hasn't happened, then clearly God heard you and decided to make the forum (just like He made everything else in the world) exactly how He wanted it.
Not to your liking??
Well, that just means God wants you to suffer...

The takeaway:
#1. Religion deserves to be turned into a laughingstock.
#2. A strong man will always defend a weak god.

Drew Reed6 said:Don't worry about it. You're a myth enthusiast, which basically makes you colleagues. Oh, wait—I almost forgot you're a trained construction worker, which basically means you have a PhD. You can certainly wrap your head around that.

Honestly, you aren't even bright enough to come up with an original insult.
That whole "construction worker" jab? I’m the one who diagnosed you with that, and clearly, your single, lonely brain cell loved the label so much that you just keep repeating it over and over again.

When it comes to Elvis Presley, I sometimes wonder if he’s actually figured out a way to hustle the faithful—specifically that gullible majority—by leaning heavily into those "Flat Earth Bible truths."
He plays the fool so convincingly that a normal person is left wondering: is he truly this talented an actor, or has he actually become dim-witted from playing the part for so long?

(And you don't even have to act—it's just your natural state of being.)

Bryan King3 said:I honestly don't think there's anyone out there who could sit through that whole thing without hitting pause.
I’ve managed to catch a few clips—mostly just because I happened to meet that guy Elvis Presley in person.

Seriously, if we were living back in the Middle Ages, that kind of content would be a total goldmine!

Angela Alvarez10 said:So, what’s your take on him? Did you ask him anything specific? I met him through a mutual friend. Honestly, he seems like a decent, family-oriented guy... right up until he starts rambling about his theories. The craziest part of the video was when he claimed gravity isn't even real. 🤣 He basically said military pilots are clueless and have no idea what they're doing. 🤣 Apparently, those 8Gs they feel while flying are just something they made up in their heads. 🤣

I've actually walked through our encounter a couple of times before.
I ran into him at an Interliber event, back in the final year before all that Covid madness kicked off.
He was there presenting his so-called "works."
It was one of those quiet moments where I was just passing by and nobody else was really around, so I stopped for a second.
And, of course, it turned into the same old nonsense...
A family showed up with two kids, maybe 7 or 10 years old.
They asked if they could snap a photo with Elvis Presley.
Well, naturally, I said sure.
But then I had this sudden moment of panic—would I actually *want* to be in a photo with him?
I was genuinely mortified thinking about what people who know me might say if they saw me posing next to Elvis Presley.

(By the way, that 8G thing isn't "His Majesty Gravity"—it's just acceleration!)

Angela Alvarez10 said:

😂

I honestly don't think there's a single soul out there who could sit through that entire thing without hitting the pause button.
The only reason I managed to get through a few clips—just a few!—is because I actually know that absolute clown Elvis Presley personally.
Seriously though, if we ever decided to travel back to the Middle Ages, this kind of stuff would be the perfect recipe for success.

Raymond Booth40 said:It wasn't exactly obvious from the start; it gave me a false sense of hope. It was only later that I realized

Honestly, you’ve been taking advantage of a poor guy for years—and now you’re acting like it’s somehow your fault that he’s finally enjoying himself instead of suffering through it!

Peter Peterson said:Look, kid—or old man, whatever you are—you aren't exactly "something."
If you actually stood for anything, you wouldn't be spending years obsessively reading the opinions of theists and foaming at the mouth on internet forums; frankly, you’re setting a terrible example for all atheists everywhere.

So, stop coming here and go find your intellectual peers instead of hiding behind religious PDFs. Go do with them exactly what your lot has always done—we’ve seen it throughout history and we see it now, and we know exactly what your endgame is. 🙂

Don't you worry about being my "example."
Atheists aren't some monolithic flock of believers following a single shepherd.
We all have our own lives, our own unique styles, our own ways of living, and our own ways of expressing ourselves.
The only thing we truly share is a refusal to believe in religious nonsense.

This isn't some Catholic ritual—which, for some reason I can't quite wrap my head around, Catholics seem to claim ownership over.
If you want something "yours," go join one of those prayer circles and pray to whatever plaster, iron, or wooden version of Jesus you prefer; go ahead and be "among your own."
The truth is, you just end up undermining any topic that touches on the actual foundations of religion.
And it makes sense, really—trying to explain why someone would believe in such a pile of nonsense is a tall order!

Yes, my comments are intended to be educational.
But, let's face it—to actually grasp them, you need to be operating at a certain intellectual level.

Daniel Chase13 said:Honestly, it’s actually quite helpful that you’re being so openly abrasive—it gives everyone a clear look at what to expect from those fundamentalist atheist types (not to be confused with all atheists, of course).

Just keep being your authentic self. 🙂

In fact, this kind of atheist-fundamentalist behavior is already becoming a bit of a joke on Catholic networks

.
Dawkins just ends up making people laugh with his tired old nonsense—you could see it clearly during one of his recent public appearances.

Well, of course I’m being honest.
The mistake almost everyone makes when discussing this twisted topic is assuming that you... how should I put this... are a rational, level-headed debater.

And then there's that example from "Catholic TV"—a globally famous channel that claims to broadcast the truth... about what, exactly???

Go ahead and waste your breath on people who are your intellectual equals—try convincing them about Jesus, a flat earth, or the degradation and humiliation of women... and all those other "truths."

All these disturbed extremists have one thing in common: they emit this stench that divides society, and they use that friction to grab power (usually just a fleeting bit of it) to push their warped ideologies. But science and history just keep moving forward, right past them, until the next unstable individual comes along, "inspired" by some equally insane idea.

Daniel Chase13 said:I mean, look—you know how in the West they give an atheist fundamentalist like Dawkins a platform to just spout nonsense? At least back then, Dawkins could actually get a laugh out of the crowd with his absurdities.

Stakore, are you seriously trying to put yourself in the same league as Dawkins??
Dawkins is a world-renowned, highly educated academic scientist.
He basically stuffed that little "call Him God" guy into his pocket, along with everyone else who clings to that "quasi-god" idea.
I mean, is there even any point in adding more to that?

We are a truly dysfunctional society.
Giving this much oxygen to some religious fanatic—it’s something that could only happen right here in America.
Whether it's blowing up on social media (where they keep banning him, by the way) or right here on this forum, which—despite how big it gets—is really just a tiny drop in the ocean of public awareness.

I mean, look at it: you've got people entertaining themselves with low-brow jokes, others trying to prove a fool is actually a fool, and then there are those who—quite seriously, mind you!!—actually try to debate his "ideas."

But hey, the guy has figured out the ultimate hustle: how to make a comfortable living off of people who blindly swallow his "ideas."
It's just like those folks on every major news network after midnight, constantly predicting, rushing things along, nudging the narrative... or whatever else they think they're doing with our "destiny."

Daniel Chase13 said:So, let me ask you—do you actually find the ideas some modern atheists have about cannibalism—even involving children or the deceased—to be appealing?

Even if those news stories were actually factual, we’re still just talking about the fringe opinions of a few weirdos.
(I mean, there are these studies out there by certain "visionaries"—people who don't really have much to do with religion or atheism, per se—who claim the solution to global hunger could somehow involve consuming human flesh.

But things work quite differently within Christianity.
Hundreds of millions of believers partake in "Christ's Body."
Whether you view that as literal or symbolic is the big debate.
If we're being honest, calling it symbolic is mostly a matter of practicality—because, let's face it, there isn't enough physical meat to go around for everyone!
But man, if there were...

Daniel Chase13 said:Of course not.

It’s a bit like saying I hope you aren't backing Richard Dawkins's supposed desire to snack on human flesh or his little crusade against the taboo of cannibalism—unless, of course, you're a fan of that particular brand of "expertise" from Dawkins?

Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John: Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day. My body is true food, and my blood is true drink.

It is honestly mind-blowing how someone from Krscan—basically a Krscan-cannibal at this point—is the one throwing accusations of cannibalism at others!
A normal, rational person would never even entertain the idea of "eating human flesh and drinking blood."
But for a follower of Krscan, this isn't just an idea—it's been ingrained in them; it’s actually a core part of their identity and their entire belief system.

Daniel Chase13 said:Suggestion:

Why don't some of you who find him so grating just reach out to Presley privately? I don't mean just catching him in passing at a Barnes & Noble booth—I mean actually setting aside some time to sit down, grab a coffee, and get to know the man behind the persona. You might honestly be pleasantly surprised by what you find. 🤷

Well, I actually had the "pleasure" of having that exact conversation with him at the Amazon book fair.
Honestly? He isn't worth the time.
The guy is narrow-minded and, frankly, quite dim.
He tries to use this twisted version of "logic" to debunk massive scientific breakthroughs.
It’s all based on his own bizarre, warped interpretation of one specific version of the Bible he’s picked out.
The whole thing is just absurd—he’s trying to deny established science while simultaneously relying on modern scientific achievements to make his point, like using Photoshop, computers, and the internet...

Jessica Miller51 said:I don't live in America, so this is the first time I've heard of this guy on this forum. I watched a bit of the video. 🤦 Can someone explain what he's actually getting at here? What's his end game? Who is his target audience, and what's his actual background?

Austin Wood

Just like any other cluster of ego-driven narcissists, he’s found some pretty fertile ground in this highly religious society of ours.
I mean, let's be real—if his ideas actually held any water, he'd be a household name across the globe, just like those legendary scientists or true visionaries we read about.
Instead, his entire audience is basically a cocktail of unstable personalities and folks who are stuck in a narrow-minded, religious mindset... people he "sells" his version of wisdom to in his own unique way.

Daniel Chase13 said:Actually, I was thinking—maybe Elvis Presley actually hit the nail on the head with that piece. He might have been successfully exposing the shallow spiritual state of so many people today. It’s possible he delayed publishing it just to cater to them—to soften the blow and make it easier for people to swallow. 😁

I honestly just don't get the religious landscape here in America.
What kind of logic are we using here??
We’re talking about one of the most struggling nations in the Western world—a place where you have both direct and indirect layers of government, where the church essentially dictates morality and legislation, and where, since the founding of this country, religious folks have pretty much held the reins of power almost constantly. And yet, people are out here whining about some "bad spiritual state"!!!
Who exactly are the "enemies" in a country where crime is practically an everyday occurrence, despite the fact that over 90% of the population identifies as religious??

Bryan King3 said:I already mentioned that I had the "cast" of meeting Elvis Presley in person (and maybe hash things out a bit with him).

Joseph Bailey41 said:Was it before he started barking, or after? 🤔

I actually met him at the last Amazon expo in Washington, D.C.
To be honest, there wasn't much of a crowd hovering around his "relics" at his booth.
I’ve touched on some of our conversation in a previous comment on this thread, so I won't repeat everything here.

I ended up cutting off all communication quite abruptly—right when he claimed to have "discovered God" following the sudden passing of his child at just nine years old.
Quite frankly, out of pure respect for the situation and because it felt so incredibly awkward, I just couldn't bring myself to continue the discussion.
