Why does someone who doesn't believe in something make a point of Debunking that Idea.

To deny ignorance ? Aren't we here to help extinguish that ignorance. Can't do that without some debunking , critisim , and seeing all points of view.

If you let it go , and the thread is just filled with more ignorance , then other people who google to ats will read that read , and fall into the same ignorance and spread it life wild fire lol.

debunkers are your friend, work with the knowledge they have to make a more informed community.

have you seen some of the thread titles that go on around here ? can you imagine if debunkers or skeptics were banned on this site , and the kooks allowed to roam it free and fill it with pure non sense ? nobody to intervine , and let the fairy tales continue ?

you know what that would make ats?

Or the Atheist approach. There is no God and I am gonna rub it in your face every chance I get

lol well maybe god should come help those who are on earth preaching for him no ? Give them a little boost , or strike that athiest down to prove a point, but that god stays quite

does not help , lets his most devoute followers be eaten by ridicule and lack of evidence. Can you really blame the athiests. ? We live in a period of science and tangable evidence with a hint of reason and logic. IF you can't bring that to the table with an argument , then lets just talk about unicorns , santa claus , and flying spagetti monster... since evidence is not required.

I can imagine and have seen what that looks like, check out the Pole Shift forum on Ning.
They actually say in their Zeta talk area - "Debunking is not allowed."

"It seems lazy and disrespectful to link some one in a dead end circle of 404'ed threads on freaking polychaete worms"

'dead end circle' ?

I noticed those identical threads. One was removed the other is still standing .

Stuff happens just as you can see above- A Double Post.

Oh noes - that must be the Sites fault too, right ?

Just bad timing in your case, me thinks.

- 2 identical threads posted by mistake by the same author. Obviously one had to be removed, right ?

You happened to pick the wrong one to compose your awesome response to.

But how "rude and sloppy " to remove one of the dup threads and not send you a personal alert.


I''ve seen others lose their work for whatever reasons because they didn't save it .

Difference was they were pissed at themselves. Go figure

So, in answer the OP - I guess some of us are lurking to deny ignorance.
