I don't see why nasa would change the colors of photographies to red... They have none interest to make us believe mars is a red planet... Furthermore, we can see the color of mars in the sky at nigth... And it's red (orange)

Many people (don't have a stat), including world leaders, believe that the Holcaust never occured. Many other people, including world leaders, believe that there were/are WMDs in Iraq. Many people are just plain stupid.

What an ignorant hack. "Atheists pray... that they will disappear and get out of the way of humanity's progress." I wasnt aware that every christian who ever lived is completely useless.Bored_Employee

All the ones who are not useless will at least make way for new job posotions and help our unemployment situations. We will manage without them. Go shag an angel for me.

[QUOTE="hi_im_dave"]

The website has no sources for the stats and claims.

Vennligsinnet

Good thing to point out, although I'm pretty sure I've heard all of those stats before. Anyway I don't believe in any of it except that I do think that the richest people in the world control everything, not that it's much of a secret. Also I seriously doubt Bush helped to plan 9/11 but I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to pull a pearl harbor. What I mean by that is that many people are skeptical that we already knew about pearl harbor but let it happen anyway to give us an excuse to go to war. Now you;d have to been sitting next to Roosevelt to know if this true but it could make sense on some level. There's also a whole lot of stuff related to 9/11 that the government refuses to spill the beans on which no doubt makes many people, including myself, suspicious. People who don't bother to question things like this are just as stupid if not moreso than the conspiracy theorists.

It's very easy to confuse complicity with incompetence.

Haha quite true, although there has been evidence that suggests complicity. I honestly can't say that I want to believe that he let thousands of people die so we could go to war, but I think it's also silly to toally rule it out when it did give him exactly what he wanted and there's bits of evidence supporting he may have at least let them slide through.

"Obama is a Muslim
Ten percent of Americans, and more than 20% of Americans in Texas, as well as all the Rascist in both Texas and Florida, believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
This belief would almost be okay if those same people did not get on Obama about his radical Christian preacher whose church he attended for ten years. So what is it – Christina w/ a racist preacher or Muslim with a racist complainer?"

I'm sorry but this is funny...calling people racists..Obama is half white too...so calling people "racist" if they dislike him is utterly ridiculous..and he's not Christian..because if he was..don't you think he would have recognized "National Prayer Day"..

Also, the website seems rather Anti-Christian/Catholic...so i don't believe these things really are the "10 most ridiculous things believe in"...

And Obviously whoever wrote that article didn't know that fish live in water...because the world was said to be flooded..so why exactly...would he have to save the fish from water...

And..i can only think of..

Look far enough, and you'll find articles and sites that present seemingly legitimate evidence to almost any conspiracy theory. Let me ask you this: what good is it looking like you were caught with your pants down and got beaten the **** out of, when you could look like a hero who prevented something horrible from happening? Meaning, if Bush knew enough about what was about to happen to possibly prevent the attacks, why not prevent them from happening at the last minute, and expose all of it then? Even if you argue that they were complicit, why cause billions of dollars in economic (and eventually, political) damage, when you could stage it so that the terrorists were MINUTES away from slaughtering thousands? Same thing with Pearl Harbor. Why have your Pacific fleet close to devastated when you could have easily turned the tables against the Japanese and destroyed them instead? Why not take a few years off of the Pacific War and Japan's fighting ability so that you can move on with your broader imperial intentions, if that is what they were really after?!

Well, he claims to be Christian, that's really all that matters. If he considers himself Christian, then he's Christian. I also believe he signed a proclamation recognizing the day? Just like the last administrations. He just didn't throw a public event.

I'd like some proof of that..and signing a document isn't exactly recognizing the event per say.. and i would think he would like to gain more support amongst Christian/Catholics...also, he can't have a public event for that..but he can have a parties on the white house lawn...really..stopping and praying for the public for even a few minutes would be THAT much of a hassle?

How can Americans believe that? Oh shame on America! America! America! America! Some of these stats seem made up [one out of 10 americans believing the moon landing was fake?]. Hemmaroids

That's ridiculous...i could get 10 people from my family together and ask them...and they'd all say "no it wasn't fake"...so i don't believe that is a real statistic..

That was a horribly written article. It insulted a lot of conspiracy theorists, yet the author couldn't spell "Christian". He spelled it "Christina". Also, referring to people who believe President Obama is a Muslim as racist is just pathetic.

Obama is half white too...so calling people "racist" if they dislike him is utterly ridiculous..and he's not Christian..because if he was..don't you think he would have recognized "National Prayer Day"..

Xx_Hopeless_xX
President Obama is half black. Most racists don't care if the person is half-white. It's the half-black part that concerns them. Also, a Christian doesn't have to recognize "National Prayer Day" to be a Christian. Your speculation does not equal evidence.

Also, the website seems rather Anti-Christian/Catholic...so i don't believe these things really are the "10 most ridiculous things believe in"...

Why is global warming on your list? A lot of scientists accept it. Science may not be based on consensus, but even if global warming is false, it's certainly not ridiculous.

Ahh yes... because the truth is that millions of scientists who actually have knowledge enough to study this stuff and come to a conclusion based on facts are actually in a huge conspiracy to rob the poor people of their money by increasing taxes.

And as for the dinosaur/bird argument posted earlier (not by you :)) then we should just call everything a single celled aemoba because that's basically what we all are. Or at least where we originated from.

I don't know what CNSnews is, but it documents it. Signing that document was recognizing the day, that's why he signed it. He may just like to pray in private for all we know. The whole public meeting debate isn't really necessary, he recognized the National Prayer Day, like that reality or not.

I never said that he wasn't Christian because of that...i said..one would think he would like to gain support from his Christian supporters by taking a few minutes out of his "busy" day to observe a Christian holiday(or whatever you'd like to call it)..

Also, the website seems rather Anti-Christian/Catholic...so i don't believe these things really are the "10 most ridiculous things believe in"...

Well...the world ending in 2012 like it was supposed to be ending in 2000 is one. The number of people who think a tree has a face of holy Mary or some other person from the bible. People who think they see/believe in poltergeist. People who think Obama has done nothing in the office for his entire first year but go on vacations. I could go on but I'm just posting the few I know of. But then again, I don't know if those are more ridiculous than the ones posted.:P...

So it's ridiculous because you disagree with the cause? I don't even believe the Earth is warming or if it is, it's currently cooling before it warms, but I won't just disregard the scientific consensus as ridiculous, although that may be because I'm not sure of the science that supports both global warming and skepticism of their claims.

I think perhaps the non-belief in 'man-made', or a better term 'man-assisted' global warming would fit much better into this thread than that. 97% of scientists in recent polls state that global warming today is increasing because of man's influence on the atmosphere via the releasign of greenhouse gasses through use of technology. The non-believer think that it is all a hoax to get the governments to to steal money from the citizens through taxes.

That's pretty weak..especially since he likes to make nearly everything else public...and he didn't meet with any religious leaders...like previous presidents had done...he's really not doing much to make people truely beleive that he is "Christian"..it seems as if he is Christian in name only...and again i said it SEEMS...i am not saying that he definitely isn't..

I don't know what CNSnews is, but it documents it. Signing that document was recognizing the day, that's why he signed it. He may just like to pray in private for all we know. The whole public meeting debate isn't really necessary, he recognized the National Prayer Day, like that reality or not.

That's pretty weak..especially since he likes to make nearly everything else public...and he didn't meet with any religious leaders...like previous presidents had done...he's really not doing much to make people truely beleive that he is "Christian"..it seems as if he is Christian in name only...and again i said it SEEMS...i am not saying that he definitely isn't..

Clinton didn't hold a public event, H.W Bush and Reagan only held one special event for the day in their entire presidencies. Surely, by your logic that if Obama does not throw a public event for the day, he's Christian in name only. Then Bush Sr. and Reagan are both pretty weak Christians then. Personally, I'd like a National Reasoning Day.

Cows create more methane than our cars...i don't believe is because of man..that's just my opinion...and the question was about what YOU think is the most ridiculous..

Just because cows create more methane than cars (Note that methane is not a prominent greenhouse gas and more CO2 is produced by coal and gas burning power plants) does not in any way mean that man's release of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere is not speeding up the warming process. The original question was "Do you believe in any of them?"

I did not say a public event...i said possibly showing Christians in the US that he was observing it by appearing publicly for a FEW MINUTES and praying...

On a semi related note; I remember reading a (I think it was Berkeley...lawl) study which stated that a person who eats beef expels more carbon dioxide than the average car while walking. So if you're fat and eat beef, you're a bigger environmental problem than a Hyundai.

I believe the temperature fluctuates naturally..

Good to know. But that still does not make the amount of greenhouse gasses released by human technology completely vanish. There are also quite a lot of false facts that are put out there to undermine the scientific studies behind greenhouse gasses and their effects in the atmosphere. This seems like one of them.

Ok well then, why do you think he would not make it a "public event" if he was a Christian...as i have said..i would assume he would like to gain support from Christians..

And it does. No one is calling this into question. Proof of this can be found in the fact that it was quite a lot warmer in the times of the dinosaurs as evidenced through ice core samples and other things. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was also much higher. However changes on the level that force mass extinctions have occurred many times in the past as well. These changes are specifically due to the speed at which the environment changes, either through naturual means or cactastrophic means. The human impact on the environment is increasing the rate at which that environment is changing. When you release more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere it heats the planet thereby releasing more gasses into the atmosphere naturally. It speeds the process up.

*Sigh* Why does he need to drop everything and hold a public event to make Christians happy? I mean, if they complain about him taking a day off to spend some time with his family, how is holding a event such as that going to help anyone as much as a small vacation?
