What a *nimrod*

Spider Man takes place in New York City, therefore Spider Man is real.
Are there scrolls, tablets and other artifacts from spiderman in new York? Except of the merchandise after it got popular? Cause that is the case with not-spiderman

It was Daffy Duck, not Bugs, in "What Makes Daffy Duck." (He says it around 5:36)

Our thinking can be so twisted by religion. Imagine someone long ago wants to build a really tall tower. Nobody knows engineering, material science, etc. They just start stacking rocks on top of each other like they do when they made short buildings. Eventually it's so tall and heavy that it's no longer stable, one side sinks into the ground, and the whole thing falls over. And what's their takeaway? Is it about learning from their mistake and trying again? No, it's "God is punishing your hubris!" Religion just poisons the mind.
Builder: "I'm not incompetent! Uh... God didn't want it to happen. Yeah, that's it; the collapse definitely wasn't my fault at all!"

Pathetic.
Jesus is still a myth. Still no actual proof he ever existed.
Get over it

Wasn't it Daffy Duck who compared Fudd with Nimrod? Bugs Bunny calls Yosemite Dam Nimrod.
Yes, Daffy did it first. Maybe Bugs popularized it if more people saw the cartoon he said it in later, though.

This is the best documentary I've ever watched.

I bet a lot of religious tenets come from a lie that got way the fuck out of hand.

There's a Big Finish Dr Who audio story, well two I think, where the bad guy is named Nimrod. A scientist in their stories. So not everyone thought the name was an insult....or maybe they did, huh, but figure if the name gets to be known as a main guy the Doctor clashes with they can't really think he's a complete fool.
Though I always remember the cartoons first.

The Icarus myth is still a useful analogy, even if you don't believe it actually happened.

Just substitute any force or phenomenon bigger than human ability for "God" in that sentence and it'll still apply to a lot of situations.

That just screams that folks don’t actually read the Bible.
Well, that, or 7 year olds just took context and ran with it.

The tower of babel is a great lesson.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I looked it up after and yes it was I'm not sure I actually watched that episode though had watched many classic ones.
One day I'll actually watch them all, classic and ones I mean. The older ones are a bit ummm more difficult to enjoy the same way. Always thought Capaldi was short changed in that his two parters, were less interesting than many single episodes of new who but they did try. And mostly I thought it was writing not acting that held them back,Capaldi rocked. But I did like they tried, cause so many old whos were least 4 parters if not more and people were asking but I don't think they had the proper mindset to stretch it out even half as well.
Edit also don't mind me, I just think the Doctor is one of the best characters/heroes of all fiction...he always does the best he can to save all he can. Mean it's cheesy but gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when the story only gives so many options.
if only we could all push for what that character said was good. It'd make a better world.

For example, prohibiting eating pork because it's "unclean," while having no clue about trichinosis. They don't know (scientifically) how to mitigate it, so they just tell people it's a sin.

Let me point you to the book that started me on a journy. I've been reading books and academic papers on early christianty (first two-hundred years) for the past 20 months. The first time I encountered the christ myth was here:
