There is no dark side of the moon

At different times in my life, I've chosen religion, politics, psychology, philosophy & various combinations of them & other things to give me a framework to understand the world. I am 100% convinced though that the world is spheroid & that the Moon landings happened, probably 95% certain that 9/11 was what it seems to be, maybe 80% that JFK was what it seemed to be but not convinced at all by the official Diana story. So I see what you are saying, & as I said I think one thing you achieve very well is stopping me from going down a 'raising the eyebrows' & saying something is crap without at least understanding my own position.

Got a lot of respect for your posts Huddersfield but you are wrong about those two, badly. But that for sure does not mean the world is flat.

There is more evidence that RFK was murdered by others than any of the other theories as well. So if RFK was murdered by the intelligence state , JFK shot in Dallas and Ted miraculously surviving a plane crash then being put aside with the death of that girl in the car.

RFK is so obvious a cover up.

I think the thing with me is that for most things in life I tend to start from a sceptical perspective. That's not to say I aren't open to possibilities, but I always need a fair bit of convincing...it's just my version of critical thinking really. So, 9/11, I've not really seen any alternative theory that trumps what I know about extremist Islamic ideology & geopolitics...I've had access to odd bits & bobs of information over the years & been in multi-agency meetings looking at strategies around domestic terrorism, & whilst that's a long way from 9/11, I have a perspective & evidence that makes the broad story credible to me. I am open-minded though, I just haven't been convinced yet.

JFK - I put a lower score for that one because there are questions I can see around it, plus I've not really ever got very engaged in reading up on alternate theories. I've watched the odd TV programme over the years but never ended up with a strong view one way or the other.

Where I diverge significantly from Scotty is the conflation of them all. I have read a lot, for example, on Kincora, Colin Wallace & Operation Clockwork Orange, so I know conspiracies & cover-ups happen, & politically (rather than Biblically) I think these clearly trace back to wealth, power & how it is exercised in the real world. So, yes I could be persuaded about 9/11 or JFK...I just haven't been yet.

You wont see alternative theories just sitting passively hoping to stumble across something. You look at the primary documents and notice contradictions in testimony.

For example

Norm Mineta the transport minister contradicting Dick Cheney's testimony. regarding to the shoot down orders.

 

However there is literally a packed 5 hours of video needed to systematically take down the official story, so fuck doing that by typing it out on a message board.

Yes, I think I know that...but being blunt when I have about 50 hours a week to put in at work, topped up with lord knows how many at home, a grandson to dote on & a dysfunctional football team to support, 5 hours of YouTube is a luxury I can’t really afford. Would they convince me? Maybe, maybe not. I have all sorts of things on my ‘to do’ reading list to be honest, but I spend such reading time as I have on the things that most grab my attention which aren’t really conspiracies generally speaking. 

I stay out of 9/11 & similar debates in truth because although I know what I think & believe, I also know I haven’t put in hours of research. That’s why I said 90 & not 100%.

Yeah i was just pointing out unless you go looking for it, you won't find it. Trust me i'd much rather have the interesting life where i never bothered finding out out all this stuff, cause it does you no good. In another life i'd have ignored it all.

ps you said 95% and never look into the RFK assassination that is the one that opened up a lot of this shit for me. Obvious cover-up then that pries open the door to everything else.

You have enough on your plate with Huddersfield :P

OK. Can you give me the names of these alleged 40 different people?

I mean, surely if they documented the word of God as well as the creation of every single matter there must be documentation of the names of these people?

You can't be serious.

And what if God, in his infinite wisdom, decided that he left something out...

So God, in His infinite wisdom, forgot something?

...or he wanted to make another declaration of his presence?

Being God, He would have just used prophesy in the first instance.

So, what you're saying is that you would believe God to be a liar if I wrote the words that he spoke to me?

No, you would either be mistaken, deceived, delusional, or a liar.

Amen to that, brother! Our season was summed up yesterday when we were given a penalty & then the ref changed his mind. Could only happen to us. Now if you want a conspiracy theory...

You're right that I've not looked much, if at all into RFK; a little more but not extensively into JFK. As I said, I think my natural philosophical leaning is towards scepticism, so I tend to automatically want to debunk conspiracies but force myself (hence my original comments about Scotty) to make a space in my head for alternate possibilities. I just need my pension fund to get its arse in gear, then I might find some time. Or spend it all on HTFC.

Wouldn't a natural scepticism lead to questioning the official version (the lie) in the first place?

I'm 100% serious. Does anyone know the names of these writers?

That's why God created erasers on pencils.

So, I would be aforementioned and yet the nameless authors of the Bible are to be believed?

Are you saying that there isn't a 0.00001% chance that the Bible writers weren't mistaken, deceived, deletional or liars?

Yes, of course. If I was totally sold on every official line I’d probably be putting all my efforts at the moment into arguing about where the ball should be for a corner 🙂

Well, you definitely wouldn't be my 'phone-a-friend'.

(In fact, you wouldn't even be allowed on my team for a casual trivia pub night.)

For starters, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the gospels were named after the people that wrote them.

(Do you know any of the books of the Bible?)

He didn't create those things.

Correct.

Correct, because ultimately it was God (the Holy Spirit) that wrote the Bible through these 40 people.

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness," 2 Timothy 3:16

And these are reputable sources?

(Matthew, Luke, John.. Curley, Larry and Moe?)

Sure he did. He created us, right? And we created pencils with erasers, therefore, he created them.

And you think this because those 40 people told you so.

These "40 people" could've been liars and scoundrels or they could've been people who suffered from syphilis or some other disease that affects the workings of the mind.

You have no evidence that God exists, you have no evidence that Jesus was the son of God. If you have, please produce is. If you're going to recite from the Bible then I could recite from Harry Potter and tell you how he saved the world from Voldermort.

Which is more believable? I'd say the latter.

Yes, they were eye witnesses.

You can take their word as Gospel.

God created the matter, and we altered and shaped the matter.

Yes, I acknowledge God's Word.

They were definitely sinners.

If that (impossibly) happened it would have been like winning every lottery jackpot you are alive for.

I actually have tons of evidence, but what I don't have is the type of proof that you are asking for.

(The table hasn't' been set that way.)

As stated previously... We are saved (from judgement of our sins) by faith (and thankfully not by proof).

One,  we hear the words by which we gain faith. 

"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." Romans 10:17

The other, is a vehicle to plant the seeds of future acceptance of the antichrist in the minds of the youth.

It has no eternal value.

And you'd be wrong (and you will be proven wrong).

What, you mean like there's eye witnesses at Penn and Teller and David Blaine, etc?

Yes, yes, the sky and the trees and the everything is "evidence". Can you show me actual proof that there is a God?

I'm sorry, but a few books about incest and murder written by sinners isn't exactly going to convince me. On the contrary, I actually believe it less now.

How so? How can you prove me wrong?

Dude, you are saying, without doubt, that God created everything and Jesus is his son. I'm asking for proof.

You're not delivering any.

Can you or can you not provide proof on the above? If you can't provide any then there is room for doubt in your mind.

OK... Ever see magicians on TV and think to yourself "I know it's a trick, but I have no idea how he did that?"

Ever had how a magic trick was done revealed to you?

So... If they faked the moon landings, how would they go about it?
