Don't young earth creationists believe that dinosaurs were dragons and other mythical lizard creatures from the Bible?

While I know this will just go downhill, it's the creation of the meme I was talking about. However stupid it is to think dinosaurs didn't exist or whatever, I'm pretty certain that an armchair atheist vomited out this meme because they needed to remind everyone they are atheist.

Depends on their justification. Some just say the bones are lies from Satan, for instance.

They must be a tiny minority then, because there is almost nothing about them on the internet. And I imagine they would be the type to homeschool their children anyway.

Some* think that dinosaurs were indeed real, but they were unable to outrun the Flood and all drowned first which is why their bones are found so low down in the geologic column, thus proving that the Flood was real.

It wasn't a card, but I did see a guy at Islands of Adventure once who was probably verging on 8 feet tall. He was wearing a shirt that read "Yes, I'm tall."

I mean tbf yes writing with a liquid ink pen can be an exercise in frustration as a lefty due to smearing the ink as you write unless you have that super formal hand position they try to make you do

I do this with my right hand.

I broke my arm when I was learning to write and so I had to relearn to right with my left and then relearn with my right about 9 months later so I hold my pen / pencil weird as gently caress and drag my hand across it some how.

* loving clueless idiots

I had a Mormon co-worker who asked if I believed that dinosaurs existed.

Me: ...Yes
Her: Me too! Do you know what I think happened?
Me: .....No.
Her: They didn't get on the Ark in time and that's why they went extinct.
Me: Oh. Yeah you're probably right.

It was pointless to inject reason and to argue, so I didn't even try. Plus, she had the habit of completely flying off the handle, like when I asked about polygamy ("If you bring that up again, I'm afraid we can't be friends!").

Othello

quote:

That's all well and true, everyone above, but THIS Troper is the Magnificent Bastard. Always. I'm just... shall we say, unmotivated. And that's true, because I never usually have to exact revenge or anything of the sort... usually. Got a whole student body to hate one guy because he boasted too much towards me. And when he tried to denounce me, no one believed him, because I just said "He's trying to claim I'm responsible?! ME?! I'm probably the only one who doesn't try to pick on him with gusto!" I guess I learned much from Othello, eh? I've been able to avoid blame simply by keeping other people viable for blame, simply by telling them what to do. Who'd you think to blame first, the Pot-smoking, angry, faux-gangster that all the girls date for 2 weeks? Or would you blame the Obfuscatingly Stupid Gentle Giant, who really is friends with every one, and can't hurt someone to save his life? Yeah, I thought so.


Villain

quote:

I often play the role of the Magnificent Bastard as a villain in plays. I even throw in a Villain Song.


Alliance

quote:

This troper tends to play the scheming bastard in most vs games that permit making/breaking alliances. Typical MO is to contact everyone privately, offering an under-the-table alliance against a specific other player. I then try to look somewhat ineffectual, making token attacks on both sides while building up my strategic reserves. Both sides think I'm working for them, feinting to keep the other guy distracted, and I'll hammer 'em when the time is right. They're basically right... except that the right time is when both sides are bloodied and I can be the last man standing. What's amazing is how long it takes people to catch on.


Library

quote:

This Cloud Cuckoo Lander troper tries to be one, and utterly fails, but he tries this in every aspect of life. He once hatched a master plan to stop some friend of his from returning a library book (thus validating his claim that even the most organized people can be late), that only succeeded because the library accidentally closed earlier that day. He accidentally thought that the library would open the next day and not that day. Since, for once, laws of reality agreed with his (false) assumption, his plan succeeded. But normally, his plans fail because people are predictable. If they were less predictable, maybe his plans would one day succeed, but until then...


Books

quote:

This troper has gained more creds as Magnificent Bastard after completing such books like Book of 5 Rings, Art of War, 48 Laws of Power, and much more. Though I have felt I crossed some lines at times....(revenge with an ex-girlfriend taking to Disproportion Retribution levels depending how you view payback for cheating on.) Anyway, took me years to get it down and I only learned such things just for safety reasoning and to get closer to my goals. I'm just not generally smug about things I do and prefer to be friendly and only do actions if I truly feel they are for the greater good.

I asked her something about the Fundamentalist Mormon Church and their practice of it, not if she practiced it or if anybody she knew did.

She also instigated an investigation in the department we worked in for religious intolerance, accusing our boss of "hating Mormons" and insisting that she was being persecuted.

That last batch of tropers was delectable. "I jumped off a roof and stabbed a kid with a PENCIL" or "I said something clever and now everybody loves me" can't hold a candle to "Not a single goddamn thing happened. Also, I'm super smart and brooding".

We weren't really friends. She latched on to me at work because she thought she could convert me. She was impressed with me because I apparently knew more about Mormonism than most people she came into contact with. When she saw she couldn't, we drifted apart.
