Ever hear of Atlas from Greek Mythology?

Knowledge of the Earth being round was never in question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_Flat_Earth

I've probably told you this 10 times already but you keep using it as though you are getting paid 10 cents per post.

Although I think I figured this out. They teach Americans this B.S. in school, don't they? Along with their Indian killer Columbus.

Criticism is not insult! Is there supposed to be no questioning of anything religious? No discussion? No dialogue? Religion is exempt from the application of any critical thought?

If you want to learn Religion then feel free to ask questions and discuss. Why don't you go insult the Koran or Torah or Buddhism or Hinduism. Stop being so juvenile.

It's not an insult to question the veracity of a book written by men who believed the world was flat and that Earth was the center of the universe. It's a sign that the synapses are firing.

I also feel insulting the Holy Book of our Religion and the religion of the Armenian nation as completely wrong. I'm not going to force everyone to believe my faith, but I do think people need to be more respectful when it comes to what they say about our Holy Scripture and religion, especially if one is an Armenian talking against the religion of the Armenian people. I've noticed that in the secular West, everything is done to attack religion as something "backwards" and ignoring the fundamental good that has come from Jesus's teachings and the set of morality that it has established in societies. It's seems that it's part of some agenda. A godless, secular society is something that we must avoid in Armenia, because the consequences of it will be dire.

Why do you feel you must insult the core Religion of Armenians on an Armenian site. Just curious.

Did you get this from a fortune cookie?

Yes. Does that make it less true?

Not being able to tolerate dissent, inquiry, and criticism is a sign of immaturity. Criticism is not the same as insult. If you see it as such, that speaks to a problem within yourself.

If we still had an awards ceremony, I'd nominate this thread for Best Thread.

In other news, stupidity is amongst us.

You have made several attempts at insulting me and I have let them go, but I've had about enough of your rudeness. It's not appreciated and it will not be tolerated. You can disagree with me, but you have no right to disrespect me.

Do you know what free fall is Siggie? Probably not since the science is too advanced for you. It involves math.
