God is a gas because he's not cool enough

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

In high school, there was a minor tradition of trolling the chemistry teacher during his talks about air. One student would say, “If I can’t see it, I don’t believe it.”

Of course the teacher would fall for it hook, line and sinker and the rest of the hour was spent arguing for air while the student would just repeat the same line again and again.

Good for me to remember that trolling and the resulting flame wars were around even before the internet. :-)

why are internet atheists so bad at making arguments

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’m pretty sure this is a response to a bad argument.

[+] [email protected] -8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

first of all what it's responding to is not an argument, it's a motivational quote of some sort. it's cringe trying to counter argue that to begin with.

like do you see people write something like "you only fail when you stop trying" and go "ummm actually the dictionary definition of failing is ..." and go to stupid technicalities about how one can actually fail despite insisting on trying? well this is atheist memes so don't answer.

second of all the main counter argument used for proof of oxygen is that it can be seen in certain situations. which is entirely dumb, because obviously we know stuff can exist and not be seen, so "where's your god photo" is not even a weak counter but an invalid one. ok i guess love doesn't exist because i cant post a photo of it on facebook, checkmate valentine.

I'm atheist and I agree with you.

I think neither the inspirational post nor the answer were too smart. God and oxygen may be as invisible as each other most of the time but I think most people can survive 20 minutes without god.

Then again I don't know what god does in the different religions that is so important to life... If he's important for the creation of life then I guess it makes sense even though he just had to be there 2000 years ago for his week of creation, we don't need him now to keep living. But maybe he is out of time and either always exists, or never does. In that case I guess he would need to exist to be able to have done what he allegedly did back then to give us life.

I know I'm overthinking a quote that's just supposed to ... Well I'm actually not sure what it's supposed to do except convert people to believe in god now that I think about it. But then again I'm high

If you don't think "you can't see air just like you can't see god" isn't an argument religious people make, you haven't talked to many of them. I've heard that one a lot of times.

How cold do we gotta get God in order to see him?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Colder than absolute zero.

Liquid oxygen is way too pretty for how dangerous it is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok, I'll bite. Why/how is liquid oxygen dangerous? Doesn't it just basically instantly boil into gas if it gets anywhere outside of its cryo chamber?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not really, it stays liquid until it boils, so it can stay outside the cryo chamber for a few seconds. And since it's pure oxygen, on top of the dangers with liquid gases being super cold, it's also a potent oxidizer, so it can set fire to some fuels without a hear source

So..... Mix with Florine for best results?
