The FES guy admitted to it being a joke. It doesn't matter if other people actually believed his bullshit, because he still said it was a joke.

You've got it exactly wrong. It matters very much that others believe in a flat Earth, without regard to the beliefs of the theory's creator.

... Screw you. Seriously.

I'm saying it was originally a JOKE, and a bunch of retards actually took what he said seriously.

I think you're missing the point. As idea that sticks in the minds of others is more important than its creator. It becomes a meme and takes on a metaphoric life of its own. When other people believe an idea, the idea shapes a small part of the world. Does it matter who started the idea or whether that person believes what he or she said? Nary a whit. An idea that, once unleashed, takes root in the minds of others, is a force unto itself, and must be taken seriously not only to influence the course of history and control one's own life to the best extent possible, but even to understand the world itself. You mustn't dismiss the truth so frivolously.

Perfect example of condescendence.

I think we're through here.

I believe I'll solve my problem by simply blocking what you've got to say from now on with the phpBB user block.

Have a good day.

I'd like to contest that last moderation, Gray. I don't think it's trolling to answer Kazuki's question about what happened to Crimson Echoes. It's on hiatus, which is dubious because "on hiatus" is usually the purgatory where projects go before they die. Anyone who is interested in the project has got to share in my disappointment that nothing has been accomplished since ZeaLitY turned it over to the current management. I think certain people would put their time to better use by working on CE, a big project with which they have been entrusted, rather than being mean-spirited trolls who can't take a little bloody nose in the forum of rational debate.

This

And I apologize for my behavior. I've just simply had my fill of "Lord J Esq" at the moment. =/

And Kazuki, I've been having every problem known to man kind keeping this project afloat.

Nobody posts, and it seems as though the project has died. Fear not, it hasn't. I'll carry the weight on my own damn shoulders-- at the expense of quality. <_<

Hop in and do something, we could use people who are associated with Temporal Flux.

Neither Time Cube nor the Flat Earth Society are a joke. The TC man takes himself very seriously, and many people honestly do subscribe to a flat-Earth worldview. It's no different a delusion, really, than having a group imaginary friend named Jesus or believing that the real world is merely a staging ground for some eternal afterlife, except that FES and TC are outside of the mainstream and therefore are socially acceptable targets of ridicule. It doesn't matter if these are easily disproved by physical evidence; physical evidence is not the gold standard of conviction for many people.


Is it your assertion then that Christianity is a delusion?  Could not the same argument be applied to all religions?

Taken in context, I viewed your comment as a directed attack toward another site member.  I will not tolerate any personal attacks on this website.  Only arguments may be attacked.

You can objectively criticise others without making snide remarks.

No, I would not characterize Christianity as solely a delusion, but yes, I have held that, among other things, it is delusional too. And on the whole, yes, I think the same argument could be applied to most if not all religions. Why? It has everything to do with my personal views on the veracity of faith as a means of truth.

As you prefer. You must have a mean poker face, Mr. Guru. =P
