ContraBardus Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Answering a student question on whether the Earth is stationary or moving, Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari replied: "stationary and does not move." “First of all, where are we now? we go to Sharjah airport to travel to China by plane, clear?! focus with me, this is Earth;” he said, holding a sealed water cup. He argued that if a plane stops still in air “China would be coming towards it” in case the Earth rotates on one direction. It the Earth rotates on opposite direction, the plane would never reach China, because “China is also rotating.” In separate statements Sheikh al-Khaibari said man never went to the moon, rejecting NASA’s lunar excursion video as Hollywood fabrication.

StarGazer Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well, there are many indications in the Quran that the earth is stationary. There's also a lot of suggestions that the Earth is flat; referred to as a 'carpet', 'spread out'. So yeah, different Holy Book, same nonsensical crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♦ Fuego ♦ Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This is also why Boko Haram exists. "Book Learning is Sin" Anything that contradicts the scriptures is wrong and must be destroyed. Religion is a mind-virus that stands against science and reality. It is a system of controlling and manipulating people. And unfortunately they have modern weapons. Every time I see a large crowd of ISIS or similar, I think how cluster munitions would so easily provide them with the martyrdom they seek.

Ravenstar Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Fuck. What is this desire to remain willfully ignorant, dumbass savages? I seriously don't get it. … and why do people buy this crap? We have an international space station, and satellites (that you can witness from the ground going AROUND the Earth)… they send pics back… you can watch, in real time, weather satellite video. There is no question that the Earth goes around the Sun, or rotates ON IT'S AXIS.. WE.CAN.SEE.IT.NOW. WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD THERE BE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO MAKE THIS UP? That would be a conspiracy of ALIEN proportions.. oh, wait. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunea Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Looks like someone there also doesn't believe anyone can run past anyone else running in the same direction. Joking aside though, it's very scary that people who have power and weapons believe that kind of lies about the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fweethawt Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Joking aside though, it's very scary that people who have power and weapons believe that kind of lies about the world. Its not so much that the people in power believe it as much as the problem is that people are made to believe it. If you can fearfully force someone to believe horrendous and stupid shit -- you succeed in crushing their minds and spirits leaving them wide open to many other forms of exploitation. That's all religion really is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurisaz Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Tribalism again folks. That kind of moron would believe/support anything if his/her chosen führer demanded it. Whether it makes sense in any way is irrelevant to them... it's only about obeying and supporting the führer. That is why you cannot argue or reason with them. You're quite literally not talking their brain language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
