Stephane Grappelli Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Saw an advert there saying "Know Your Yeti" so that got me thinking about these noble, majestic and some would say mythical creatures. My mate and I are very firmly in the pro existence camp but when we ask some folk if they believe in them they look at us in a "Did King Billy attend Mass?" type way. What do you guys think? If we can get some sort of consensus on this then maybe we can move the whole thing forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pans Jambo Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It amazes me how folk can believe in God so strongly that they will brainwash their children, mutilate them (& themselves), attend places of worship to sing and pray to a deity that they have ZERO proof even exists, quote passages from their particular bible in day to day conversations, come to your home and chap on your door to invite you to join their particular religious organisation and some will even resort to physical violence if your religion is different to theirs which includes persecution, rape, murder, war and genocide etc. They believe that theres a special place for them where if you behave yourself your entire life, follow the religious rules and get on your knees and pray to their god he will let them into his 'special club' when they die to live their (after) lives in a paradise which is pain free forever. Otherwise you will suffer and burn for all eternity in a pace called hell. They believe this...all of it, but not in any chance that there may be alien life, or the chance that there may be an undiscovered large hirsute mammal that walks on 2 legs and hides in extremely large forests in North America and Asia (forests almost as large as continental Europe). Thats what we are dealing with. Personally, I believe there is something there. After all, new species of life are being discovered almost daily on this planet. (I think the Loch Ness Monster is a load of tosh cooked up by the local tourist board and hoteliers in Inverness though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With about three billion people walking around with a camera in their pocket these days, you'd think that pictures of them would be plentiful. But they're not. Which leads to an obvious conclusion.
