Well of course they can? That means it's a gray area, correct? Ah, so who are you to judge the gray area unilaterally, ye who believes in "around 15-20" senses. You seem like a fine candidate, sir. Next time I want my morality dictated to me, I'll come sit at the foot of your throne. In closing, might I add that PLENTY has been proven. It's fairly obvious that whatever gods you can name don't exist, do your own research. Perhaps there is something like a god, but it's unlikely, and not Yahweh.

I did not "spread" the word "bullshit." Repetition is what is called a "literary device," a technique used in writing to emphasize or explain things. Now we have your pedantic picking of my comment out of the way, do you think that all people have the right to believe in what they want? If I believed it was my duty to kill all people who disliked Ted Ed, would that be ok? Furthermore, would it be ok for others to allow me to continue believing that? No, you say? So nobody can believe anything?

My head hurts aaaaaaa it hurt so bad after this clip aaaaa

I've noticed you like to spread the word bullshit all over your flawed argument. There are people that truly believe in religion and that's fine, we should just let people believe in what they want. Now if someone is being a real ass about what you should believe in, then you reserve the right to tell them to fuck off, but there is no reason people should believe one way or the other, nothing's proven yet.

[Ambient Seclusion]

I would like to point out that we have more than five senses, in fact we have an upwards of around 15-20, though I don't have the exact number, and also the percentage of brain we use is dependent of the activity we are participating in at the moment.

I've ceased to think it is necesary for you to be here.

Very interesting stuff... but I couldn't finish watching the video because the narrator sounds gay.
