I'm not trying to start a flame war by any means but how exactly is it bad to want evidence of things rather than going purely on faith with no factual basis? You take indirect evidence and match patterns with information. Categorize subjectivly instead of objectivly. Disintingh subjects behind their labels. Labels can be confusing to many people. Know what piece of info leads to the answer of that other piece of info. Life is math. The one who knows how to equate information and categorize will produce new answers. This is science. Science had a father. And his name was Math.
That aside I find the concept so far rather fascinating, however I wonder how people would make it past the sheep phase when the other two are not supposed to interact with the first in any meaningful manner. Can't say I was thrilled to read the bit referring to Alex Jones and Rosie O'Donnel but meh. So I take it there is a grand scheme to this where the Goats and Bulls confront the Shepherds in some kind of power struggle or even outright war? Where is this whole thing going, because surely after laying out this most interesting framework there has to be some meat and potatoes to fill it in and give it more substance.
only mathematicians can know their faith will turn out the way they believe.

Completely and utterly foolish post, am I the only one who realizes this?
He says that a sheep is someone who wants evidence, as if critical thought is a negative thing! And then goes on to state that one can only see "truth" if they "100%" believe in something, as in, without any doubt or thought!

Honestly, it doesn't matter. He advocated the complete absence of thought.
Let's take a great example. September 11th.
There is no rock hard evidence that the U.S. Government had anything to do with the attacks. So I don't advocate any conspiracy theories that run with inconclusive evidence. Is there a possibility that something happened? Yes! Is there any reason to run screaming that the sky is falling before finding evidence? No!

There is no evidence? Umm...I think you mean to say there is no official on TV that presented the evidence for you. You must do your own search for evidence. Building7 went down. It was untouched. That is one small piece of evidence. What about this. A paradox to your claim.

How did the fuel melt the girders of Building 7 and toast cars miles away? Hmm. The culprit was revealed 2 weeks ago. Mainstream news spoke of a new Navy weapon. That is the only logical explaination along with TNT squibs.

A Bull does not need Bill O' Reilly and Anderson Cooper to give them answers. Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster and so were the Tsunami's. Right.

I cannot respond to that. You use words like Bombarded? That is your word.

All I'm going to say is that Building 7 crumbled like it was razed. That is what really happened. If it was bombarded, then chunks of the building would been sheared off at most.

The Tsunami's and Hurricanes of last year were completely manipulated. Indonesia faced 2 of them. 2 Tsunami's in the same spot?

Earthquakes in Afghanistan were caused by HAARP. Earthquakes don't happen often there. If you know what HAARP is used for then you would understand the repercussions.
