Don't feel like an idiot! I watched that the addendum aswell! I bought into that for about a week until I decided to do some research. So you did 4 days better than me! I learnt from these movies that just because something is called a 'documentary' doesn't mean it's very reliable.

There's a quantum physic's one called. "What the bleep do we know?" It's interesting and has a few ideas in it, but it's mainly all pseudoscience. i would give it a watch and then see what rebuttals of your own that you can come up with. You don't need a degree. it's good skeptic practise.

I still have firm discussions with my mum about all of the videos we have talked about. She takes the "this is truth" side and I take the "have you read anything else?" side.


by purpose do you mean you had a purpose after you watched it and believed in it? because I got that same purpose when I went to church for a bit. Thing is, with a purpose you stop questioning and just have an opinion. Now I strive to allow my opinions to be changeable. The 3 words you need to be comfortable with are "I was wrong"... my boyfriend can't admit that, but thats just because he's a man and nothing to do with skepcism! :P lol

Thanks to who suggested we all just post something! turned into a possible project! :)

Just going back to Alstairs comment about getting a mental vaccine by understanding a mindset. I just really liked the comment, it made alot of sense. I suppose it all comes back down to educating people saying "this is whats out there"

Well, now I really want to watch the movie. Perhaps I'll just read some of the links first though...

After all that flurry of posts, guess which group is the most active out of all Atheist Nexus groups?
Where are the rest of you?

Which group? The atheist humour group?

We should have a topic a week. So this week it's conspiracy theories. Next week... How to make the best pavlova? I like kiwi fruit on mine.

Maybe start some topics in the discussion forum so at least we can stick to one topic.

I like Kiwi fruit on everything.

I just like kiwi fruit, full stop. nom nom nom.

I will tell you a not so interesting fact Kia Ora is an orange juice drink over here and when I say it people look at me like i'm insane and the main reply is "but i'm not thristy?" I then call them ignorant cultural buffoons and walk off feeling all high and mighty. lol
