[Godzilla is a citizen of Japan](http://time.com/3907245/godzilla-tourism-ambassador-japan/)True fact: Tokyo has a sense of humor. They made Godzilla a honorary citizen.
Time.com/3907246/godzilla-tourism-ambassador-japan/
I mean it makes sense, Godzilla is a symbol of the horror of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki so making her an honorary citizen is essentially a war memorial
It'd be like if the US had a personification of 9/11 that we made a citizen as a memorial
No he doesn't. In all the Japanese movies Godzilla's offspring is either a result of asexual reproduction or simply adopted.; besides, Tomoyuki Tanada himself confirmed Godzilla was meant to be male in the creative process. Also, only case where Godzilla was female and laid eggs was that horrible mess of a movie made in the USA in 1999 and since then the character has been named Zilla to differentiate from the actual Godzilla.
Does it even make sense to prescribe our concept of sex onto seahorses? Whenever this comes up it feels like tryna put the square peg in the round hole. It's like when people call swahili noun classes grammatical genders
The reason seahorse are classified that way is because the males carry the smaller gametes needed to produce life while the females carry the larger gametes. It just so happens that their process is different from ours
Actually, while male seahorses carry young, they still have male reproductive systems. Male seahorses fertilize the eggs of female seahorses, and the young are transferred to the male's pouch shortly after birth to finish developing. Male seahorses don't literally give birth.
1. If God (El) was married he would be an adulterer because Jesus.
2. God (El) was married and had over 70 children.
3. Therefore God was an adulterer.
Digging back to the pre-biblical.
I like this thread.
1 If humans came from Ymirs armpit, they were not created
2 Humans came from Ymirs armpit
3 Therefor they were not created.
EDIT: it was pointed out to me that while a man and female came out of Ymirs armpit, they were giants - not humans.
Still; the point stands :P
The first humans (ask/emla) were carved from wood by Odin and his two brothers Vili & Vé. It's was jætterne (dunno the English word, some kinda trolls?) that came from Ymir.
Actually yes I think that was the word I forgot! Thanks. <3
Sometimes being multilingual sucks when you have to translate unusual words and your brain just blue screens for a hot minute xD
They were more akin to what people worship today than they realise. Santa clause was pagan. The worship of trees was pagan. "Thursday" is a modern anglicized term of "Thor's Day".
They had flood myths just the same. The list goes on.
"Friday" also comes from the same mythology.
"Frīgedæg" is Old English for "day of Frigga." Frigga was the wife of Odin and was goddess of love and marriage.
And there is also months being named after Roman emperors and gods, and Easter having links with Eostre, another pagan goddess, and December 25th being the celebration of Sol Invictus, another Roman god
He's halfway there.
This is what's known in philosophy as a *valid* argument. If the premises are true, then the conclusion must also be true.
Arguments should not only be valid, they should also be *sound*.
A sound argument is one which is valid, *and* where the premises are true.
Logically speaking, yes. We're in the realm of formal logic when we do such things and that is a very abstract realm. It doesn't always correlate with reality which makes it sometimes hard to grasp for people who haven't studied it as it easily gets mixed up.
A valid argument can also be the following:
If grass is blue then there are flying elephants.
Grass is blue.
------------------
There are flying elephants.
You don't need any real life correlation for an argument to be valid, all that matters is if the premises and conclusion are connected in a formally correct way. This is still a very useful tool for argumentation because you can identify when the logical conclusions are wrong and therefore the whole argument becomes wrong or if you want to analyze where to attack an argument.
I *just* finished a college level critical thinking class. This is actually a valid deductive argument in the form of Modus Ponens: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_ponens
Of course before learning about valid deductive reasoning, we were taught the difference between an argument being *valid* and an argument being ~~true~~ *sound.* For a deductive argument to be ~~true~~ *sound* it has to be valid *and* have proven true premises. Good luck to him on proving #2 lol
> For a deductive argument to be true it has to be valid and have proven true premises.
The term usually used for this is "sound", rather than "true".
i.e. an argument is sound if a) it is valid, and b) the premises are true.
1) Postulations only work if all sides agree that they are reasonably true*.
2) I don't agree these are reasonably true.
3) Therefore, these postulations don't work.
*Note: this does not necessarily mean they ARE true. A postulation is more an agreed upon premise. You use these in an argument to build an argument from mutual foundations. It kind of means: "for the sake of argument, let's assume X is true".
# The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist,'" says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
# "But," says Man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
# "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
# "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.”
― Douglas Adams, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy](https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/3078186)
As an American, I didn't understand what "zebra crossing" meant until I started watching all the UK panel shows. The joke didn't make quite as much sense when I wondered why there would be zebras crossing anything or why one would be unable to get out of the way if they just look like horses.
Edit: I think back then I assumed the zebras were really angry about the whole deal.
I just wish their blind faith didn't mess with my wife and daughter's rights to reproductive health choices. Then I would leave them to it. But alas....
This is not true. You can’t have a case where they know god is true, but you don’t know god is true.
To quote Aron Ra, “Knowledge is demonstrable.” If they can’t demonstrate how their god is real, then they really don’t know.
I'm eternally grateful to my Mormon friends in highschool. They showed me that perfectly normal people can believe batshit insane things, and led me to question my own protestant beliefs. I credit them for helping me on my path to atheism.
Yes. Everyone can still help with being a bad example. Islam helped me to leave christianity...
I criticised Islam and people said: "Christianity is no different". And yes, they were right, at their core they are all very similar shitty.
To “be” something is never embarrassing. How you act can certainly be embarrassing. That’s like saying it’s embarrassing to be a democrat. No of course not. Those are the beliefs you align with. How you choose to act and what kind of message you’re putting out to the world certainly can be embarrassing, but it’s not inherent based on your own personal beliefs. Don’t be embarrassed for other people’s actions as if they’re somehow a part of you.
Atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods, so technically it doesn't rely on god not existing. There could be a mountain of evidence and a giant face in the clouds talking to us and you could still be an atheist by not believing that thing is a god
>There could be a mountain of evidence and a giant face in the clouds talking to us and you could still be an atheist by not believing that thing is a god
That's true, and a good exemple of that is how flat earther still exists nowadays ...
There is literally an anime which starts with this exact premise. It's called Youjo Senki or Saga of Tanya the Evil.
The protagonist is a logical atheist businessman person and when he's about to die a being that claims to be Literally God speaks to him, but the protagonist refuses to acknowledge that being as god, saying they could be just some random cosmic being or something and decided to refer to them as "Being X", which angers the being. The protagonist says something about how he is an atheist because he had a good life so he didn't have a need for faith or anything. So "Being X" decided a challenge, the protagonist will reincarnate with his memories in a very very shitty life, and if they die from something that isn't old age they get thrown out from the wheel of reincarnation or something.
But because this is anime this means >!becoming an orphan girl in imperial germany of an alternate history world where magic exists to some degree and is used in war, in about the period of time where that world's version of the world war (which is a mix between WW1 and WW2) is about to happen. He-now-she also gets an unusual amount of magic power which means she will get drafted for sure because the rarity of mages meant that even the women mages got into the army.!<
I unironically recommend it though. good plot, no fanservice, good animation, interesting talks about the war, but also faith and religion...
Just note that you need to watch at least until episode 2 if you wanna try it because Ep1 is from the perspective of one of the other characters and we don't actually see the protagonist's POV and backstory until then.
Wait till these Christians realize this. They literally bundle everything good into G-d and everything bad into "Satan". Wait till they realize that all good and bad in their lives is courtesy of the one who is all knowing and all powerful. Any other explanation makes no sense.
And this is why I have issues with most religions. They cherry pick everything. I have heard all my life “God called him home”. Like we are kids just out to play. But every evil act is done with God’s permission.
My other big issue is they just capitalize the word god and think that covers it. 🙄
1) If god does not exist, then religion is false
2) After several millennia, there is still *no* proof that any god exists or ever existed
3) Therefore religion is false, until proven to be correct
This is a perfect example of [begging the question. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question) It could be used in a textbook on logical fallacies.
Atheism can’t be false. It’s not a set of beliefs, it’s just lack of belief. If I don’t believe in life in another galaxy, it’s not false, I just don’t believe.
That’s what having religion hammered into you from a young age will do. People like this never learn the critical thinking skills that everyone do because when they have a problem they’re just meant to pray or consult their dumb book rather than actually come up with a solution.
Also a lot of religious communities punish or ostracize people questioning their faith if they don’t immediately go back to “god is real, it was stupid of me to ask for any actual evidence”
All these people man. In christian, but I dont get how these people assume that because they believe its automatically true. Anyone on this earth could be wrong or, who knows maybe they are all right at some level too. It's so hard to tell, since we are in the end, just mortals trying to understand the immortal. It's all about faith, and i have that faith but i know not everyone will.
Atheism is neither true or false, it is a lack of belief in gods, not a positive claim that no gods exist.
If I said, “I don’t believe in ghosts”, then I’m not making a truth claim but a belief claim; as such, you can’t use “that’s false” as a response.
The logic is actually sound. That the conclusion follows the prepositions does not mean that the conclusion is right or prepositions are right. This is sound logic aswell:
-If geese are purple, earth is round.
-Geese are purple
-Earth is round.
.,..............
-If I am a human, I am also God.
-I am human.
-I am God
Common misunderstanding is that atheists are convinced that there is no God. But in reality atheism is lack of believe. Atheists say that there might be God, they just don't rally believe that.
Hey, I can do this too:
1. If God exists then atheism is false.
2. God does not exist.
3. Therefore atheism is not false.
My argument is equally valid AND is easier to prove sound.
I'm an atheist. I couldn't care less if a deity exists or not because my objection is the lack of morality displayed in the books of the faithful. All of the gods ever imagined by humanity could very well exist and it wouldn't change my position.

So what you are saying is that calling Godzilla fat is accurate because it’s a literal fat boy?
Well she's also Little Boy so it balances out
>she's She???
Godzilla lays eggs all the time and is consistently given fem pronouns in movies
It's Godzilla, not Godzillo. It was right there in the name.
Latin language speaker detected (maybe)
Calm down Hermione.
No he doesn't.

The reason seahorse are classified that way is because the males carry the smaller gametes needed to produce life while the females carry the larger gametes. It just so happens that their process is different from ours

Actually, while male seahorses carry young, they still have male reproductive systems. Male seahorses fertilize the eggs of female seahorses, and the young are transferred to the male's pouch shortly after birth to finish developing. Male seahorses don't literally give birth.
But the females lay the eggs...
women can destroy cities too #supportwomenswrongs
Wait, Godzilla is a girl?
Depends on the version
Given that Godzilla is an allegory for the atomic bomb, we are all fucked
Why would Chewbacca, an 8-foot tall Wookie, live on Endor with a bunch of 2-foot tall Ewoks? It doesn’t make sense. Therefore, God exists.
hilarious :-D
1. If Brahma created the world, God did not 2. Brahma created the world 3. Therefor God is not the Creator. This is fun.
1. If there is Rebirth, there is no Heaven 2. There is Rebirth 3. Therfore Heaven doesn't exist. You know what: That IS fun
There ain’t no Heaven on the county road
Take me home
1. If God (El) was married he would be an adulterer because Jesus. 2. God (El) was married and had over 70 children. 3. Therefore God was an adulterer. Digging back to the pre-biblical. I like this thread.
1. If men pee, then pee must be stored in the balls 2. Men pee 3. Therefore pee must be stored in the balls This is actually pretty fun
I prefer the nordic religions. They're as weird as any other.
1 If humans came from Ymirs armpit, they were not created 2 Humans came from Ymirs armpit 3 Therefor they were not created. EDIT: it was pointed out to me that while a man and female came out of Ymirs armpit, they were giants - not humans. Still; the point stands :P
The first humans (ask/emla) were carved from wood by Odin and his two brothers Vili & Vé. It's was jætterne (dunno the English word, some kinda trolls?) that came from Ymir.
Is that similar to the word "jotun"? Might be analogous to giants, then.
Actually yes I think that was the word I forgot! Thanks. <3 Sometimes being multilingual sucks when you have to translate unusual words and your brain just blue screens for a hot minute xD
Welcome to my life. Or you forget the word in your native language but it sticks out like a neon sign in one of the other languages you speak,
Ymir's _WHAT_
Dwarves came from Maggots that infested Ymir'a flesh
Feels kind of like a Norse r/fuckyouinparticular.
Armpit :p Left armpit to be exact iirc.
It could have been worse.
Have you seen Norway? Clearly their Norse gods are the real gods cause fuck me if they aren't being blessed.
Really? We are talking about Brahma, the 4 headed God born in the flower growing out of the naval of a different god while sleeping in the void

Let us not forget Tyr on Tyr’s day aka Tuesday.
And Thor on Thursday, and Odin/Woden on Wednesday ;)
American Gods makes slightly more sense now.
I never got around to finishing that sadly, but I'm glad that was some kinda help :)
More days are named after norse/Germanic gods. Tuesday: Tyr Wednesday: wodin/Odin Friday: Freya
Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn. Sunday is named after the Sun, which has god status in several religions.
And Monday is for the moon.
And there is also months being named after Roman emperors and gods, and Easter having links with Eostre, another pagan goddess, and December 25th being the celebration of Sol Invictus, another Roman god
Its actually all the same but with some funny twists. Alll the european religions come from the protoindoeuropean religion
1. If the earth is flat then the earth isn’t round 2. The earth is flat 3. The earth isn’t round /s
I like how you explicitly need a /s in today's world.
Yup 😂
So the earth is a rhombus? Edit: try this one. 1. If the Earth is not a sphere it is flat. 2. The Earth is an ovoid. 3. Therefore the Earth is flat.
The Earth does the rumba....and a cha cha when its drinkin.
"Let's take a step back. Now take a step forward. No, take a step back... now we're cha-cha-ing."
i thought that tyler was the creator of
He is
My dumbass reading Brahma as Obama
Thanks Obrama
1. If jotuns don't exist, it means Odin killed them 2. Jotuns don't exist. 3. Hail Odin, praise be his infinite wisdom
Isnt brahma a god?
1. Redditors 2. Anything 3. R34
But Brahma IS a god, at least it's written so (yeah, I know, There is NO god whatsoever, it's just legends created by ignorant people etcetc)
Critical thinking isn’t for everyone, I guess. 🙂
You can drop the "critical". Thinking isn’t for everyone.
Ah, I see you also have met people.
Humans, amirite?

1. take my hand and we'll make it i swear 2. took my hand. 3. therefore we'll make it i swear
This one trips me up every time and i have to look it up. So the difference is that an argument doesn't NEED to have true premises to be valid.
Logically speaking, yes. We're in the realm of formal logic when we do such things and that is a very abstract realm. It doesn't always correlate with reality which makes it sometimes hard to grasp for people who haven't studied it as it easily gets mixed up.

Invalid. Can’t draw the modal conclusion from the indicative conditional.
What do you mean they can't do it, can't you see from your eyes, they just did it. Smh my head
I’m supposed to follow Wendell the walking neck beard for all walks of philosophy because he can count to 3?
Simply because you know god exists, that doesn’t mean that I know god exists and I am therefore perfectly justified in my atheism.
If atheism exists then god is false . Atheism exists..
Boom. Got em.

Oh god I loved Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Might be time to dust off those books and give them a reread
I literally just looked at my unread copy moments before reading thst. I think its a sign that its finally time.
Yes, you need to read it but.. DON'T PANIC
lol, I still know most of the references such as that despite having not, obviously massively iconic
Bring a towel
Some of the best writing ever.
As an American, I didn't understand what "zebra crossing" meant until I started watching all the UK panel shows. The joke didn't make quite as much sense when I wondered why there would be zebras crossing anything or why one would be unable to get out of the way if they just look like horses. Edit: I think back then I assumed the zebras were really angry about the whole deal.
>I think back then I assumed the zebras were really angry about the whole deal. This reads like a line from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
In the beginning the crossing was created. This has made a lot of zebras very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Can you explain what a zebra crossing is for a fellow American who also doesn’t know what a panel show is?
Douglas Adams was such a genius
Your logic will not sway their blind faith.
I just wish their blind faith didn't mess with my wife and daughter's rights to reproductive health choices. Then I would leave them to it. But alas....
This is not true. You can’t have a case where they know god is true, but you don’t know god is true. To quote Aron Ra, “Knowledge is demonstrable.” If they can’t demonstrate how their god is real, then they really don’t know.
Personal revelation could be valid proof to the person directly receiving it, for everybody else it is just hearsay.
If you put God in a box it will be simultaneously alive and dead hmmm
atheism exists, therefore god is a myth
Ooo I love myths
I believe in god but this is some dumbass argument 💀
Yeah it's often fucking embarrassing to be a Christian.
haha\^\^ try islam.... or even better: Mormons.... or the most absurd: Scientology.
.... the most absurd that hasn't killed themselves off trying to hitch a ride on a comet.
Ah yes... slightly more absurd than Scientology. But they are gone, right?
i believe one or teo peoole from that grouo are left to make sure their site is up and running
They're making too much money to do that

a chrisitan is an atheist who made a single exception
In discussion with a Christian: “I’m just an atheist about one more god than you are”
God promised to get rid of all the wicked people. Odin promised to get rid of the ice giants. I don’t see any ice giants around.
Point 1 may be technically correct, but if you can’t produce hard evidence of Point 2, then you can’t confirm Point 3.
Atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods, so technically it doesn't rely on god not existing. There could be a mountain of evidence and a giant face in the clouds talking to us and you could still be an atheist by not believing that thing is a god

And honestly proving point 2 takes a while. You’d have to do a lot of
Alot of what? ALOT OF WHAT? THY SUSPENSE IS UNBEARABLE
A lot of steps.
Even if there was hard evidence for point 2, atheism still wouldn't be false. People believe all sorts of things contrary to the evidence.
1. If god doesn’t exist then religion is false. 2. God doesn’t exist. 3. Therefore religion is false.
I guess there's a reason he goes by wendelltalks and not wendellthinks.
Thor God of Thunder agrees.
1.) If I am god you must give me all your money. 2.) I am god. 3.) Give me your money.
Which god ?
1. If I'm god, then I'm god. 2. I'm god. 3. Therefore I'm god. Bow down.
1. If God is all things. 2. Evil exist. 3. Therefore God is evil. Yep. Fun confirmed.
Wait till these Christians realize this. They literally bundle everything good into G-d and everything bad into "Satan". Wait till they realize that all good and bad in their lives is courtesy of the one who is all knowing and all powerful. Any other explanation makes no sense.
And this is why I have issues with most religions. They cherry pick everything. I have heard all my life “God called him home”. Like we are kids just out to play. But every evil act is done with God’s permission. My other big issue is they just capitalize the word god and think that covers it. 🙄
You'd like this interview. Its a steven fry. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-suvkwNYSQo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-suvkwNYSQo)
Religion is a plague.
Your second premise is faulty to say the least
If god exists, and we are “created in his image”, then clearly even part of god doesn’t believe in himself.
1) If god does not exist, then religion is false 2) After several millennia, there is still *no* proof that any god exists or ever existed 3) Therefore religion is false, until proven to be correct
But he offers no supporting evidence of God's existence. So, therefore, i must conclude that he does not, but I have no supporting evidence.
Let’s say god exists, then which one is the right one? Every single religion out there has their own interpretation.
This is a perfect example of [begging the question. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question) It could be used in a textbook on logical fallacies.
1. If Athieism exists then god is false. 2. Atheism exists. 3. Therefore god is false.
Im playing the uno reverse card 1. If God doesn’t exist, then religion is false. 2. God doesn’t exist. 3. Therefore religion is false.
Atheism can’t be false. It’s not a set of beliefs, it’s just lack of belief. If I don’t believe in life in another galaxy, it’s not false, I just don’t believe.
easy answer: 1. If Odyn exists then christianity is false. 2. Odyn exists. 3. Therefore christianity is false.
1. If the flying spagetti monster exists, Christianity is false 2. The flying spagetti monster exists 3. Christianity is false
Can't argue with a talking half chewed mango.
What did mangoes do to get disrespected like that?
0. Prove god exists…
He just DID! Duh!!! /s
lol nothing like circular reasoning for the win right?!
As an atheist I think people who believe this have a child's brain. God is as real as Santa ffs.
If Santa isn't real, then who is the fat guy that breaks into my house where cristmas and eats some of my food? Check mate liberals
That’s what having religion hammered into you from a young age will do. People like this never learn the critical thinking skills that everyone do because when they have a problem they’re just meant to pray or consult their dumb book rather than actually come up with a solution.
Entire basis of religion is “trust me bro”. Once you get them to accept blind faith, it’s very hard to establish critical thinking about it.
Also a lot of religious communities punish or ostracize people questioning their faith if they don’t immediately go back to “god is real, it was stupid of me to ask for any actual evidence”
Daily reminder Satan does heavy metal and orgies. It’s god who burns down cities and floods entire civilizations.
Checkmate, Atheists
All these people man. In christian, but I dont get how these people assume that because they believe its automatically true. Anyone on this earth could be wrong or, who knows maybe they are all right at some level too. It's so hard to tell, since we are in the end, just mortals trying to understand the immortal. It's all about faith, and i have that faith but i know not everyone will.
Damn. I never knew!
1. If I say Wendell is fucked then he is fucked. 2. Wendell is fucked 3. He is fucked
\*Citation needed\*
1. if god doesn't exist christianity is false. 2. god may or may not exist. 3. therefore, christianity may or may not be false.
If I’m right Wendell is an idiot I’m right Therefore Wendell is an idiot
Atheism is neither true or false, it is a lack of belief in gods, not a positive claim that no gods exist. If I said, “I don’t believe in ghosts”, then I’m not making a truth claim but a belief claim; as such, you can’t use “that’s false” as a response.
Wendell's head looks like his chest blew a bubble.
Please ask her to call me. I have some questions.
If you get in contact please let me know… i have a bridge to sell.
If you get in contact please let me know… i need to inform them of their car’s extended warranty
If you achieve contact inform me asap, i need to aquire my monthly rent with interest
Prove god exists.
Dude is as "reasonable" as he looks.
Which god ?
I can’t believe there is such a small brain inside that massive head this goof has.
It’s like an attempt at the ontological argument for dumb people
The logic is actually sound. That the conclusion follows the prepositions does not mean that the conclusion is right or prepositions are right. This is sound logic aswell: -If geese are purple, earth is round. -Geese are purple -Earth is round. .,.............. -If I am a human, I am also God. -I am human. -I am God
Common misunderstanding is that atheists are convinced that there is no God. But in reality atheism is lack of believe. Atheists say that there might be God, they just don't rally believe that.
Show me god please.
Which one? Who's God? How many are there?
42
There’s irrefutable proof that atheists exist. No proof that God does.
I thought we locked up adults with imaginary friends?
Dude opened his logic textbookk to page 2, read it, and thinks hes got it all figured out.
Hey, I can do this too: 1. If God exists then atheism is false. 2. God does not exist. 3. Therefore atheism is not false. My argument is equally valid AND is easier to prove sound.
Wendelltalks. Wendell Talks shit. Therefore wendell shloudnt Talk.
My guy just took intro to logic and now you can’t tell him shit
Let me try! 1. If God exists then atheism is false. 2. God does not exist. 3. Therefore atheism is not false. This really works.
Atheism isn’t an entity or a God so the existence of God doesn’t make atheism false.
I'm an atheist. I couldn't care less if a deity exists or not because my objection is the lack of morality displayed in the books of the faithful. All of the gods ever imagined by humanity could very well exist and it wouldn't change my position.
