I thought the 'Wahabi-Evolutionist axis of lies'was the best line of all.
Yeah, everyone knows that the Wahabi Muslims are Creationists.

I have not found one article showing that that site is a hoaxy site.
Your credulity is astounding.
The pages about "anti-triclavianism", which oppose the doctrine that Jesus was nailed to the Cross with only 3 nails, didn't raise an alarm? You felt nothing was objectionable about the laughable "game theory proves Christianity" arguments, or that nothing was amiss when a search for "Diamond Jack Holgroth", supposedly a leading figure in mathematical game theory:
quote:
He served our country during the Cold War as a Game Theory Tactician for the Department of Defense and single-handedly developed an elegant solution to the "Fisherman's Quandary", a game theory problem that was crucial to the winning of the arms race and that was famously intractable - until Diamond Jack came along.
returns nothing but links to discussion of this website as a hoax?
You didn't find the fact that the WHOIS search returns "NOC NOC" of "IdeaFlood Inc." as the registrant, instead of someone's real name (like any of the supposed authors of the site), somewhat suspicious?
In short, you didn't apply a bit of rational discernment, did you? You just found something that said something you liked, and dropped it on us as an authority with absolutely no fact-checking on your part, didn't you? In fact, isn't that how you determine who the authorities on a certain subject are? By to what degree their positions match yours?
Use a little discernment, Lys. You'll look a lot less the fool, next time.

Tell me the truth Lys, would your church sell "Ruby Matrimony" thongs?
Oh, fuck, that's the best - I hadn't even got to that part, yet. Here it is, for interested parties:
Also, I love their American Flag Redux:
(Get it? It's "one nation, under God.")
Lys, are these indications of an earnest, Godly website? Or are these perhaps examples of wiseasses having a laugh at the expense of people who earnestly swallow your brand of horseshit?

It's the data that needs to be analyzed, not the site.
So present the data. All you've shown us so far are tinfoil hat conspiracy theories.
I'm just waiting for the moment to speil my information.
Why wait? There's a thread waiting for you, remember?
so to get you to accept that perhaps giant bones exist is like teaching a chimpanzee trinogometry.
Not in the least.
You just have to supply evidence. It really is that simple.

There are a lot of uncovered things in this world...
"There are more things dreamed of in your philosophy, Hamlet, than are in heaven and earth."
There are no uncovered giants.
But this is not the case. As for the claim itself, like I said, I'm willing to give it a benefit of the doubt, but as for trusting the site itself...
But the claim can't be found anywhere except this comedy website. What is there to trust, exactly?
