“Of all the major religions, or lack thereof, the atheist's is one of the best pretenders: his foundation for all existences, as well as moral behaviors for the permanent good of mankind, begins at science but ends at himself, the Napoleon complex of both intelligence and imagination. On the other hand the anti-theist wouldn't survive without a deity beyond himself to hunt. He doesn't pretend, he simply nullifies his own position.” WellsEndsHandsImaginationExistenceMoralMankindPositionBehaviorMajorsFoundationComplexesAtheistPermanentHuntsDeitiesTheismTheistPretenderMoral BehaviorNapoleon Complex Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“Let us, then, take our compass; we are something, and we are not everything. The nature of our existence hides from us the knowledge of first beginnings which are born of the nothing; and the littleness of our being conceals from us the sight of the infinite. Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.” WorldFirstsBodyBornExistenceKnowledgePositionSightInfiniteIntellectInfinityCompassExpanse Book:Thoughts Source: Thoughts
“Even dramatically how you position some person, the depth, the existence [in 3D] is different than a flat image even though by itself it has depth, we create the illusion of depth. For example, some of the shots I have to stay closer to the actor because it's a young actor, I like it closer for some of the shots. I watch 2D scenes next to the camera, then when I go back to my station and watch it in 3D I have to go back and reduce his acting, he has to shrink a little bit because he peeks out more.” LittlesPersonsDifferentYoungNextActorsBitsActingExistenceWatchesExamplePositionSceneLittle BitIllusionShotsCamerasDepthFlatsStationsShrinksYoung Actors Author:Ang Lee
“Ironically, members on both sides of the debate do agree about one thing: big bang cosmology puts their position in jeopardy. The big bang poses a problem for young-earth creationists because it makes the universe billions of years old rather than thousands. Such an assertion undercuts their system at its foundation. Big bang cosmology also presents a problem for atheistic scientists because it points directly to the existence of a transcendent Creator - a fact they dare not concede.” YearsFactsProblemBigsEarthYoungUniverseSidesExistenceOne ThingPositionMembersScientistAgreeFoundationDareCreatorBillionsDebateBoth SidesBangsAssertionTranscendentCosmologyAtheisticJeopardy Author:Hugh Ross
“What do you conceive God to be like? Some would say to believe at all in a personal God requires a giant leap of faith - but I am convinced that belief in God is a far more reasonable position than atheism. Nature, the personal experience of literally billions of people, and something innate in the heart of man all testify to the existence of God.” PeopleMenBelieveHeartBeliefExistenceAtheismPositionConvincedBillionsGiantsReasonableLeapInnatePersonal ExperiencesBelief In GodExistence Of GodLeap Of Faith Author:George Sweeting
“If we don't start acknowledging our correct position as nothing more than a part of the planet as opposed to this perception that we're superior, then we won't have it much longer.
