it wasn't faked because we got there and didn't find anything, but there was definitely a hoax vid created in case of any number of variables. they didn't just let stanley kubrick into nasa hq prior to the manned apollo missions because they thought his movies were cool. the military wouldn't even let him get a look at B2 bombers in the making of Dr Strange love because they were so paranoid about cold war spies.

>what words?

I will admit my error there. I have multiple tabs open in /x/ and got my threads mixed up, wherein the moon landings were being discussed. so here you go

>logic does not convince the brainwashed masses

Honestly, the reason I don't think we've went there was when I did a lot of research for a college paper several years ago.

Reading notes from Von Braun, the leading :rocket scientist" of the era who essentially enabled the US to "win the space race" plainly stated that the technology required, not only to leave earth's gravity well but also reach the moon, would require a rocket roughly the size of the empire state building (actually bigger if I recall), and that the shielding necessary to protect from the radiation belts and space debris (micro-meteors, etc) that would shred through the vehicle during its extended journey, would be weight-prohibitive at best and increase the required fuel weight exponentially.

So if the actual design engineer knew it couldn't happen, I'm supposed to believe that a few second stringers cobbled together a working space vehicle so much smaller and lighter, even without any significant advance in techneology by 1969?

I don't think so.

Have we orbited the earth? Yes. Many times.
Have we easily made trips to low earth orbit and back? Yes, many times and we even have a space station in LEO. All of this I find quite possible and have no doubts, due to the tech I know we have.

But making it all the way to the moon, that many times, and yet they find excuses NOT to go back, even though we should have the tech, at a much lower cost ration NOW, that existed in 69.

Look at the reported ratings of the moon landings, and how they steadily went down. They stopped the "moon missions" because the pubic stopped giving a shit, and it was becoming a waste of time and money to keep producing them. It was easier to rest on their laurels
>>
>>17819301

additionally, one of the refutations is "the reflectors on the moon!!! OF COURSE we been there!!!!"

Well, I do not deny they are there and signals/light/whatever can be bounced back. I think it is absolutely possible to send a smaller, unmanned rocket containing tech there that can be remotely planted, manipulated, etc. I still doubt that a man has been there and back (alive anyway).

Also, people point to "the photos, man! prove they are fake/real! pro-tip: you can't!"

this is a topic that can be done to death. for every photo that is "proved fake/possess impossible anomalous artifacts/whatever" there will be an outcry how "IT IS REAL! YOU'RE PSYCHO!"

again, you can't defeat the brainwashed masses with any kind of logic or proof. They will hold onto that shit with a deathgrip like a fundy christian to his KJV.

when it comes down to it, it is all a matter of faith, even thought the atheistic fedora-tippers will cringe at the word. People have FAITH that there was a big bang, evolution, and that we went to the moon. They claim to have "proof" that is indisputable "because science!" despite the fact there actually is no tangible evidence that CAN be proved and presented without a shadow of a doubt.

>>17819268

So saying "asshole" and "fuck you" over something that wasnt my mistake (as you admitted) is indeed butthurt. I dont feel superior. I just wanted to point this out and I think it is only fair to throw an insult back.

>von Braun
So the guy, who evidently built the Saturn V (that went to the moon) was realistic about all the complications he had to face. Thats just being a good engineer and doesnt prove anything, since he overcame the problems. He was the absolute pioneer in his profession, so there wasnt really a way for him to know everything until he did it.
This is just conjecture. What someone said, doesnt outweigh physical evidence.

>Have we orbited the earth? Yes. Many times.
So if this is possible, why would a moon landing not be possible? A rocket needs most of its energy to get into orbit.

>excuses NOT to go back
well, we were there 6 times and the space race is over, so the funding isnt exactly great. But they still send unmanned orbiters and landers there.

all of this isnt any evidence against it. you just seem to think it is an extraordinary endeavour. which it was. I'm sure it was hard and seemed almost impossible in the 60s.

>I think it is absolutely possible to send a smaller, unmanned rocket
If that is possible, what exactly makes it impossible to send a bigger rocket.

There are thousands of HD pics
https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/albums/page1
and vids
and we have moon rocks
the Russians confirmed the landing (they had a HUGE interest in the landing not being real)
The landing spot(s) were photgraphed through telescopes and orbiters (not only from NASA)

I respect faith where faith matters, but ignoring a shit load of evidence by hand waving it away for not being tangible for no apparent reason is something different. It is not "because science!", it is because logical conclusion and mountains of evidence.

The speech was in case the astronauts died. Since they obviously wouldn't be back on earth in that event the fake footage would never work since the Astronauts would be clearly not around when the media would need to report them.

In the chance they got to the moon, but for whatever reason couldn't land and had to call it off but could make it back safely they had the faked footage ready so the US wouldn't look bad in front of the Soviet Union.

Polyphasic sleep schedules. And i mean the dymaxion, and uberman. Essentially the idea that you can operate on a functional/healthy enough level on 2 hours of sleep a day.

Youre just used to the pain of not sleeping, and you dont notice the negative effects it has on your performance. It's basically just voluntary insomnia with naps.

It's a good one not only because the idea is so appealing, and has this unreachable carrot on a stick thing going (so few people have the willpower and time of day to take 6 Scheduled 20 min naps especially with the level of sleep deprivation that would set in on the second day alone. The lighter forms of polyphasic do seem to work (siesta schedule), and of course if you do accomplish uberman or dymaxion sleep eventually you will feel like it is working.

>People have FAITH that there was a big bang, evolution, and that we went to the moon.
not him, and the moon debate aside, believing in the big bang and evolution doesn't require faith at all since there is observable, repeatable evidence. Anyone is able to observe the stars with the right equipment and see that everything is moving away from each other, and constantly doing so faster and faster. It doesn't take "faith" to extrapolate from that information that, the further back in time you go, the closer everything was together. As for evolution, there is even more evidence for that considering fossil records, genealogy, etc. "faith" is believing something without evidence. Those two things have plenty of evidence, so no faith required.

Oh, the irony. Priests are the ones who cherry pick the worst, leaving out the parts showing how fucked up your god is. Here's a twist for ya; I was once a christian who studied the bible to become a priest. It was the contents of the bible itself that turned me away.

Also, I'm not even atheist. Get your head out of your ass, you arrogant barbarian. There's more than just christianity and atheism. Leave it to simple minded christcucks to try and fit everything into to neat, tiny boxes, since you're too willingly ignorant to understand anything more complex than binary.

This is Joseph Smith's only sample of the alleged "reformed Egyptian" language that the Book of Mormon was written in.

Compared to the characters near the beginning, you can actually see how he got tired and started making up simpler characters towards the end of the document.

This. If that god was omniscient, he would already know the outcome without having to go through with the "test".

Either he is omniscient and let that go on because he's a major asshole, or he's not omniscient and needed the test to be sure (in which case, it's not the all powerful, all knowing god it claims to be).

Nobody believes in the "God created everything" genesis bs theory, it is just one more of many interpretations of how everything came to be

Nobody thinks of God like a guy that will say "Hey, man, looks like you are dead! Welcome to heaven!", God is the name for whatever started everything we know today, it is also used as a "boogeyman" to tell you that you will be punished if you fuck up other people

Religion just teaches you how to be a nice guy basicly

You're completely right. When I had trouble sleeping, after two hours I did feel better than 2 hours before, but tiredness sets in much faster. Basically, I would have to spent the entire day going between sleeping and being away for short time. There's no way to accomplish anything meaningful by doing so - there's no way to work normally. I quickly arrived at the fact, that a normal, healthy sleeping schedule is the best - it gives the best performance and health.

Sadly, they fucking do. You may think of god the way you described, but that doesn't mean everyone ever thinks the same. I'm on the god damn buckle of the bible belt. I know first hand that people take that very literally.

>Job suffered needlessly so we can have a book about how he suffered needlessly
yeah, that's fucking brilliant. The story is only "inspirational" in any positive way if you're reading it with an already biased view of YHWH (automatically assuming he's "good" because some books say so over and over). When viewed objectively, it's basically a horror story. "love god all you want, he'll put you through the ringer for nothing but a bet and give no fucks about you. but you're still expected to be an obedient little bitch regardless". It's a horrible fucking story that teaches a horrible lesson. It's like if people read call of Cthulhu and said "boy, isn't Cthulhu just a great guy? Ia! Ia!"

Religions like catholicism has been stuck with traditions that come from a time where people killed a lot (more than today) and did other shitty things in the name of god

Some of the rituals you see in church every sunday are done out of respect of those who stood up to what they believed in (especially Jesus)

Sadly now people see religion as some sort of cancer, and to be honest, who can blame them, but i just wish people stop bringing up what religion the guy who just murdered 30 people was part of and investigate if the guy was fucking crazy from the get-go

No religion ever teaches you to kill for your beliefs, only to respect others
>>
>>17821631
>No religion ever teaches you to kill for your beliefs
If you honestly believe that, then you either haven't fully read any of the "holy books", or are in denial of what they actually say.

For the bible, I would refer you to Exodus 22:17-19, Leviticus 20:13 and 20:27, 2 Chronicles 15:12-13, and Deuteronomy 13:7-12, just to name a few.
>inb4 Old Testament doesn't apply
Jesus never refuted the OT, and in fact supported it, according to Matthew 5:18-19 and Luke 16:17, among others I can't recall at the moment.

I haven't studied the quran as I had the bible, so I can't recall the exact verses, but I know it very blatantly calls for the execution of infidels as well.

You haven't met many priests, have you? There really are people who take it at face value. A LOT of them. Sad but true.
And yes, it may be the oldest book in existence (not the oldest written work, but I don't think the sumerian tablets count as a "book" per se?) and things have been changed, but a few words here and there can't account for the number of times it blatantly says "kill this person for (insert stupid reason here)"
>>17821658
It's not very subtle, but yes, that basically is humans being humans, I agree.

You can teach people not to be dicks to each other without organized religion, because people can and WILL take it very literally, in entirety, and do fucked up things with it. They take that old book as a literal answer to everything, thinking they need nothing else, leading them into a life of willful ignorance and denial. You can't tell me these people don't exist. They most certainly do. I'm surrounded by them. I used to BE one of them (indoctrination is a bitch). You are more than welcome to come to Tennessee and witness it for yourself.

The Abrahamic god is truly monstrous. He accepts human sacrifice, does not forgive and causes genocide of beings he created himself. Note that the Old and New Testaments have VERY different pictures of God - the Old Testament shows him as a tyrant who demands absolute servitude, else you're sentenced to death (The Flood, Sodomah and Gomorrah - seriously, you get turned into a salt statue just because you turned around to take a last look at the city you lived your whole life in? just to name a few).

Well, since you don't need evidence, or even good logical reason to believe things, have I got a deal for you!

I happen to own the golden gate bridge, but I'm so fucking rich I don't even care about it. I'll sell it to you for a mere $1,000. Now I know what you're thinking, "what would I do with the golden gate bridge?". Well, if you own the bridge, you have legal rights to put a toll booth on it. As much traffic as that thing gets, you'll make your $1k investment back within a week! Why haven't I done that you ask? WELL, I have my hands SO full dealing with this big oil company I also own, so don't have time for chump like that, so I'm offering you this great deal to take it off my hands?

Proof I own it, you ask? Why, my word should be enough proof! The Deed to the bridge? Oh, I'll send that to you after the transaction is completed. You can trust me. Just have faith. Only losers require evidence to take someone's word at face value. You're not a loser, are you?
>>
>>17824204
I also forgot to mention that if you don't believe me and buy my bridge, I'll send some mobsters to torture you, as well as an underground doctor to keep you alive and conscious so the torture can last as long as humanly possible. You can't change your mind about buying the bridge once the torture begins, by the way.

So, what will it be, friend? A bridge to make bank on, or my friends and the good doctor slowly dismembering you piece by tiny piece?

There is no proof that Hitler gave an order for an extermination policy and there is no proof that there were any mass killings in the camps.

What mass graves? There are none in the camps until the end of the war, when the bodies of typhus victims were bulldozed into pits by British and American troops for means of hygiene. Before then, there were no mass graves in the camps. We have the aerial photographs that make it quite clear, along with the intercepted messages in the British archives, that such death did not come until the last weeks of the war when the rail lines, food supplies, and pharmaceutical factories had been destroyed and the situation in the camps, and indeed all of Germany, was dire.

because of 4chan global rules 3 and 6, please take this post for what it is: a chance to read about certain denial claims (some I noticed used ITT) and sources that prove otherwise. this is not an attempt to flame or troll or bait anyone into making replies. it's really for future reference for deniers, for people on the fence, or people that want to find out more.

now, as to the topic of the thread,
Bigfoot has gotta be a major one, right? hasn't the most famous "video" of him been proven a hoax?

Or, "Monarch Programming". It probably doesn't count as a hoax - but it is all based on unverified claims of recovered memories of Kathy O'Brein. The thing of that one that gets me is some really terrible stuff happened as a result of Project MKUltra. and Artichoke and a few others. And this information has been leaked, or verified by other means, and basically, the government has admitted to it. But that's not enough for the mind-control folks, who take it a step further and ignore (for the most part) the horrible things the CIA is 100% responsible for. It's almost as if... they're distracted by the more outrageous conspiracy theories, and worrying about reptiles and NWO - that they're distracted and not interested in the many proven devious schemes of the gov, nor current affairs... hmmmmm

He tried to take the guns away a few years back which is literally Treason in this country punishable by death! Thats how this country takes away the 2 biggest things it was founded on.

On aggregate, they do not deny the existence of the camps. To suggest so is a straw man argument. The general argument is a matter of how and why. How did these people die, and why did they suffer this fate? To put it simply, I am on the side that argues that deliberate killing was done by means of mass shootings in the east, without hitler's approval, and perhaps without his knowledge. The camps were to remove Jews from the general public. They were forced to work in and around the camps under threat of severe punishment. Why do this to the Jews in general? Well, Jews were the biggest group in the camps, but not the only. These actions were heavy handed approaches to dealing with communism, so anyone who supported that ideology was considered a threat. Why so many Jews? Because they were communism's most influential support group. Note that I am giving reasons and explanations, not excuses. The bottom line to all of this is that war sucks and no one is safe from it.
