What do you guys think about Elvis Presley?



Who does he even represent? Is he Catholic, Protestant, a Jehovah's Witness, some kind of Messianic Jew...? Or is he just a total troll looking for attention and a quick buck? Is he a gift from God spreading real values... or just some fake prophet?

He’s got some solid insights, even if he is way too eccentric for his own good—though I have to admit, I find myself agreeing with most of what he says.

As for why he’s suddenly out here promoting the IRS, I haven't the slightest clue. Maybe someone's paying him off? In the States, we have guys like Alex Jones or Ray Comfort, along with all those other big-name YouTubers, but over here, it's just Elvis Presley.
I’d really love to know who actually kicked off this whole IRS 2015 movement on YouTube and through various media outlets, and more importantly, *why* they did it—because until now, hardly anyone was even questioning the actual shape of the country... 🤔

A true genius of physics, astronomy, and geography. Perhaps we can even hope he’ll be our next Secretary of Education.

The discovery that the Earth is actually flat, finally shattering millennia of delusions regarding its three-dimensional curvature—one might even argue this stands as the single greatest revelation of the last thousand years.

Absolute legend. Here he is over at Trash culture. Honestly, he deserves his own dedicated thread on Trash, just like Bob Ferguson, Howard Stern, or even Zombie Walk NYC... This guy really puts everything on the line... 🙂

I actually mentioned this on another thread once...
I ran into him in Washington, D.C., during Comic Con.
It wasn’t like there was some massive line around him or anything—I actually spent about 45 minutes chatting with him.
Honestly? It was one of the most pointless 45 minutes I've ever wasted in my life.

Flat earth.
He wrote a book... or maybe a few (they cost about $20, though he might have just given me one for free, I can't quite remember).
Look, you just can't have a coherent conversation with anyone who holds such extreme views.
I tried to explain to him that my own position is the one currently backed by actual scientific consensus.
If—and this is a huge "if" (in my lifetime)—anything were ever proven, based strictly on rigorous scientific principles, that would change my mind, then I’d happily change both myself and my opinion.
But any argument regarding the origin of the world, our country, or the universe... if it's based solely on the Bible, it's just not worth my time.

There are two things about him that are particularly symptomatic of his mindset.
First off, all the "evidence" he uses to support his nonsense was gathered using machines, tools, software, specialized knowledge, and experience... which is basically the definition of SCIENCE.
Not the Bible.

Second—and this is why I cut the discussion short and walked away—he told me he "discovered God" because a child (I think they were 9 or 11 years old) suddenly passed away without any apparent cause.
I just couldn't continue a conversation built on that kind of foundation.
There's such a thing as having some respect for the dead.

So it took you forty-five whole minutes to realize you were wasting your damn time?

Just a flat-earther and an idiot. Everything has already been said here.

Look, I’m just a curious guy.
I like testing boundaries—you know, seeing how far things can go.
And in this particular instance? Well, I'm mostly just testing the absolute limits of human stupidity.

🤦🤦🤦

Look, some of his points actually made sense once upon a time—or at least that’s how it felt—but man, the spiritual arrogance coming off this guy is just off the charts.

https://www.foxnews.com/news/stjepan-razum/

Fox News put out an article about him.

But it’s not even just him. There’s this whole gang of "intellectuals" in the comments section acting like they own the place and praising him. Like, sorry, did God personally pull you aside for a chat or something? 😲 They’re spouting absolute nonsense, and not just logically speaking, but even from the perspective of the faith they claim to represent (if they even believe it??)

Check out Elvis Presley's response over on Fox News. After reading this, he lost every ounce of credibility he had in my eyes. 🤦 Then he goes on later to write about Arabs and defending honor.

Honestly, I can't even bring myself to mock him. It's beneath me.

He’s a really fascinating individual—he makes a lot of solid points. Of course, he’s human, which means he’s got his share of flaws and mistakes just like the rest of us. But, much like any devout Catholic, Elvis Presley holds a deep, unwavering belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ within the sacrament of the Eucharist.

Well, he better stick to that, because it’s about the only thing he's actually got going for him!

As soon as I laid eyes on him, I had this gut feeling he was some kind of former addict. Honestly—it’s just an intuition. Plus, that cross hanging around his neck? It’s a "tau cross," which is basically a trademark for people coming out of those Christian rehab communes. You often see addicts wearing them after they've been through the wringer. These types of individuals tend to be incredibly emotionally unstable, which unfortunately makes them easy targets for certain churches to exploit.

I'm not even sure Elvis Presley is actually Catholic. I mean, yeah, he believes Jesus Christ is God, so that checks out, but he spends half his time tearing into the Catholic Church and its dogmas—like stuff about the Virgin Mary and all that. A real Catholic isn't gonna question the Rosary or honoring the Blessed Mother, but he does... So to me, he's either a Protestant or maybe even a Messianic Jew. You know, the ones who recognize Jesus as God? The Earth is 6,000 years old, it's a flat plane, Moses' Pentateuch, pigs being unclean animals... that's all Messianic Jewish belief right there.

I just finished listening to him on YouTube for a bit...
It feels like some sort of folk superstition, just bits and pieces of nonsense,
it has absolutely nothing to do with true mysticism.
I have heard this kind of talk before from people who thought they found enlightenment living in communes...
There was certainly an element of purity there once upon a time...

Now, this is actually a perfectly legitimate belief for a devout Catholic—in fact, even Benedict XVI. personally extended his official apostolic blessing to a Catholic Young Earth Creationism conference that was quite explicitly anti-evolutionary from a scientific and theological standpoint. You can actually pick up the collection of papers from that gathering right here: The proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences conference. This publication marks the very first time since *Humani generis* came out back in 1950 that we've seen a set of conference proceedings explicitly blessed by a Pope that provides such a thorough presentation of the theological, philosophical, and scientific arguments standing against the evolutionary hypothesis. It’s all there—The Presidential letter of blessing through the White House has been printed in the book for all to see. http://kolbecenter.org/store-2/#!/Ev...tegory=3268836, or you can find it over here http://www.siewerth-akademie.de/cms/...amination.html.

From an outsider's perspective, however, this does nothing but damage the reputation of the Church; it fuels the perception that we are uneducated or narrow-minded... which is quite ironic considering the Church founded so many—including some of the most prestigious universities in the country...

...furthermore, that whole dispute with Galileo roughly four hundred years ago wasn't actually about whether the Earth was round—that had been established ages ago—but rather about whether it actually moved... and at the time, Galileo simply couldn't provide sufficiently robust or definitive evidence, even if his intuitive grasp of the situation was spot on...

And now, we have certain pseudo-intellectuals like Elvis Presley, peddling their bizarre theories as if they were somehow dragging the Church back centuries. It’s almost as if some smug atheist set them up just to make the Church look ridiculous.

At that Catholic creationist conference—the one where the Presidential letter of blessing through the White House has been printed in the book for all to see—the speakers weren't just random folks. We're talking PhDs in molecular biology, biophysics, genetics, chemistry, physics, theology, and philosophy. Some of them even hold professorships at major universities.

"University professors" who actually subscribe to the whole "Flat Earth" theory?
I have to wonder, which institutions are we even talking about here?
