  1. You can add 'the FBI texts messages will be bigger than watergate' to the list “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  2. Except where it counts. Better hope the democrats don't get their act together before midterms or it's going to be a blowout https://www.thedailybeast.com/democrats-flip-a-pennsylvania-seat-making-41-since-trumps-inauguration-3 “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  3. "Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681 (1997)[1], was a landmark United States Supreme Court case establishing that a sitting President of the United States has no immunity from civil law litigation, in federal court, against him or her, for acts done before taking office and unrelated to the office. In particular, there is no temporary immunity, so it is not required to delay all federal cases until the President leaves office." The decision was unanimous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_v._Jones “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  4. Full-time TI here working in Oz. I often get asked where am I from due to the accent...when I say the states more times than not I get something along the lines of "what is wrong with your country???" I never got that when Obama was president. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  5. Feel free to add your prediction to this list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  6. Yet another nail in religions coffin. Religious leaders for decades lecturing us on morality, yet go silent or give 'mulligans' when one of their own rise to power. Keep it up. The world needs people like you to show them how useless religion actually is. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  7. "Can you imagine me with hookers?" Quite easily, actually “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  8. Sounds a bit like the William Lane Craig's version of the cosmological argument..it summarizes below... "Whatever begins to exist has a cause; The universe began to exist; Therefore: The universe has a cause. The universe has a cause; If the universe has a cause, then an uncaused, personal Creator of the universe exists who sans the universe is beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless and enormously powerful; Therefore: An uncaused, personal Creator of the universe exists, who sans the universe is beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless and enormously powerful." Unfortunately for him, he violates his premise. No one has ever observed an uncaused cause, therefore he is begging the question. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  9. For sure...but the point was that the bible is clearly not "true", nor the "inerrant word of god"...something a few people in the thread are clinging too. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  10. In addition to the events of Exodus being dismissed by Jewish archeologists, let's examine Noah's Ark, arguably one of the most influential stories in the bible. I won't delve into the physical impossibility of fitting that many animals into such a small space, nor the required amout of food for such a lengthy journey. Nor will I question how did all the fresh water fish survive, where did all the water go once the water receded, or did water not refract light prior to the flood. After all, the theist will simply shrug their shoulders and respond with some garbage about miracles and God's power. There are at least four civilizations that existed prior, during, and after the events of the alleged Flood. The Chinese neolithic dynasty, the multiple Egyptian dynasties, Mesopotamians, & the Sumerians. All have a continuous line of recorded history with zero gap to indicate being wiped out and starting from scratch. Then there's "Old Tjikko", a 9500 year old tree in Sweden. And also this little nugget, a study on the results of a population bottleneck some 12,000 years ago. "This event caused an extreme reduction of the cheetah’s genetic diversity, known as a population bottleneck, resulting in the physical homogeneity of today’s cheetahs. Poor sperm quality, focal palatine erosion, susceptibility to the same infectious diseases, and kinked tails characteristic of the majority of the world’s cheetahs are all ramifications of the low genetic diversity within the global cheetah population.".......now if the flood had occurred, this would be apparent in all mammals, not just the cheetah. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC46261/ Two massive stories of the bible easily debunked, why not go for the trifecta? How 'bout the story of Adam and Eve? According to biblical scholars the events happened sometime around 4000 bc, ~6000 years ago. Let's see what the science has to say about it... "Genetic variation at most loci examined in human populations indicates that the (effective) population size has been approximately 10(4) (i.e., 10,000) for the past 1 Myr and that individuals have been genetically united rather tightly. Also suggested is that the population size has never dropped to a few individuals, even in a single generation. These impose important requirements for the hypotheses for the origin of modern humans: a relatively large population size and frequent migration if populations were geographically subdivided. Any hypothesis that assumes a small number of founding individuals throughout the late Pleistocene can be rejected." Listed below is the paper that it's from. There are two more that confirm it, but I could have listed more. So genetics has conclusively stated that there hasn't been a population bottleneck of less than 10,000 breeding pairs in the last half million years......that is in direct conflict with biblical chronology...both Adam and Eve(one pair) and Noah's ark(4 pair) Once Adam and Eve are relegated to mythology the purpose of Jesus falls apart. Four of the biggest stories in the bible disproven by science. Those who continue to claim the bible is "true" or the "inerrant word of God" should pick up another book(s). https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/10/1/2/1030040 http://www.genetics.org/content/genetics/147/4/1977.full.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11158380 “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  11. How bout the time some kids makes fun of a bald guy, so the lord sends bears to kill them all? Or how bout man is created in God's image, yet needs to have part of their dick cut off? Understatement of the century. Botht the story of Noah's Ark and Adam & Eve have been conclusively disproven through genetic studies on population bottlenecks. No Adam & Eve, no original sin. No original sin....Jesus died for nothing. The entire premise of Christianity is based on a lie. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  12. Sometimes I think people should pass a test before they can reproduce. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  13. Wonder if the evangelicals will give him yet another 'mulligan'? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  14. Such as the memo proving the Russia investigation is 'worse than watergate'? Such as the text messages between two FBI agents proving there is a deep state coup? And a secret society? Such as the Steele dossier being the reason behind the FISA surveillance? And my new personal favourite.... Such as the new Obama painting containing secret sperm? You guys are losing it “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  15. The only thing 'Murica is willing to do about it... https://www.thoughtsandprayersthegame.com/ “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  16. Yet his supporters will be reposting the tweet far and wide “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  17. More facts to counter the hannity talking points. http://www.smh.com.au/world/fact-check-does-the-nunes-memo-show-the-fbi-spied-on-the-trump-campaign-20180203-p4yzd1.html “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  18. That was only one piece of evidence that started the investigation, despite republican wet dreams to the contrary. Allow me to illuminate... http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/romantic-encounter-set-off-australias-role-in-triggering-donald-trump-investigation-20180105-h0e34r.html Indeed. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  19. Do you ever tire of being wrong? http://crimestats.aic.gov.au/NHMP/1_trends/#incidentsJurisdiction and... http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/australia check out total number of gun deaths on the second link “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  20. Oh yeah?? Well the buyback only takes guns away from responsible gun owners. If a criminal wants a gun they can still get one.... Oh wait... http://www.ibtimes.com.au/cost-illegal-firearms-australia-has-skyrocketed-criminals-now-do-gun-sharing-1378871 “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  21. And just how is that a mischaracterization of what you said? You wouldn't know an honest conversation if it bit you on the ass. Take a stroll through http://www.gunpolicy.org and when you are ready to have an 'honest' conversation about guns let me know. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  22. Great, so this many school shootings are the norm. That makes it so much better. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  23. It seems its happening far more than people think. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/us/kentucky-school-shooting.html “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  24. Remember the republican outrage of Michelle Obama's bare arms? Good times. I hope the do forgive him. The more they put their hypocrisy on display the better “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  25. For sure. But every story like this just proves the party of family values Is anything but..and may just swing people on the fence away from the party “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
