      Disproof of relative truth

      Do you believe in absolute truth? No
      Is that absolutely true?

      I heard this several times, mainly from Christians. However, I think the above is not valid. For example, nihilism is sometimes contradictory, however if you don't believe in logic then you can't really use it against nihilism.

      Same with the above, if you don't believe in aboslute truth, then saying yes or no to the second question would not disprove yourself or prove yourself correct. Tell the truth, I would anwser sometimes to the question.

      Also, I hate when people argue that too know something you need to know everything. Like to know there is no god you would have to know everything, which is untrue. I know that gravity holds the planets together or that there are infinite primes numbers, does that mean I know everything. Plus, if you believe that then you would have to reject knowing about absolute truth, which would put Christians in a bad spot. Espically, a boy on godtube, the video the atheist don't exist, you should watch it.

      The planet Earth exhibits all of these properties and therefore can be considered alive and its own single organism by the scientific definition.
      7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms.
      does the planet Earth reproduce, well no unless you count the moon.

      You have information but when you decide other concepts aren't worth looking at because you can already explain it a certain way, then there's a problem. So many people have flat earth syndrom, they can explain the world to themselves in a way that makes sense and so they don't care for other ways of looking at the picture.

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      If you are serious I implore you to spontaneously explode, for the good of humanity and my sanity. :\

      I think it is a satire... seriously though, the people who make up the flat earth society are fucking insane nutjobs.

      It was made by a man and his wife who are now deceased. You should read about him, he thought that NATO secretly knew the earth was flat but kept it from the world as a secret, and that their symbolic flat map was the actual map of the world.

      But even as a joke I'm glad you brought that up because most flat earth examples are things that 99% of the people on the planet just assume without thinking about. There are many ideas people know as facts about the universe but have not incorporated into their brain. I mean, when you touch something do you really realize you're sharing your particles with it, that what you consider "yourself" and the world around you are constantly sharing and interchanging the tiniest pieces of existence?
