I don't give a crap
you're delusional
the purple unicorn did it
Oh yea just say god willed it huh
and...

Actually this forum is not unlike Hell. The flames are eternal.

Btw, if you have to ask - you haven't paid 'em. You'll know, like dealing with bad beats.

I REALLY thought that the posters on a poker forum would at least have half a brain.

[/ QUOTE ]

The forum and its poker and logic related posts continue to inspire confidence in the profitability of poker as an enterprise.

As for the God thing. Well I know an awfull lot of stupid atheists, and at least one devout muslim who would fit the bill for the Oxbridge PHD genius category Sklansky describes.

Here's some fuel for the fire.

God never allows pain without purpose.

Maybe it was His way of saying"Wake up!!" He wants us to turn to Him, and I bet quite a few people are doing just that. It seems alot of people need to have nowhere else to turn before they'll say ok God help me out here.

Here comes the flames. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I hope you were kidding. I REALLY don't understand how it's possible to have an IQ>87.34 and believe in this crap. You really believe in something that was invented by people who thought the earth was the center of the universe? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the accepted science long before Christianity. The smart people of the day, the Greeks, came up with geocentrism.

[ QUOTE ]

Indeed, the Greek astronomer Heracleides (c.390-310 BC) was one of the first to propose that the Earth rotates on its axis. He was a pupil and assistant at Plato's Academy in Athens, later opening his own school in Pontus. He also put Earth in the center of the universe. proposing that the Sun revolves about the Earth and the planets Mercury and Venus revolve around the Sun.


Aristotle, as we have seen, systematized the geocentric world system was the Earth-centered view of the universe systematized by in the 4th century BC. This was further elaborated by Ptolemy (Latin name, Claudius Ptolemaeus) in the 2d century A.D. The idea was universally accepted and prevailed for 14 centuries, until the time of Copernicus in the 16th century.
