As I said whatever.
About Fata Morgana I asked what you meant specifically other than that is reflection and refraction, as I said common knowledge.
What part didn't you understand ?
I don't believe in fairies sorry for that. Just demons.
Well, some naive men who witnessed the phenomenon in days of old attributed them to fairies. And, as you rightly say, there are no fairies, though there are demons. However, demons are not the authors of Nature, nor of our faculties with which we perceive nature - that would be Almighty God. And a Fata Morgana, despite its name, is a natural phenomenon.
As to what I mean by it "specifically," I covered that above:
The mechanics are simple - super heated strata of air causes an extreme refraction of light such that it is bent at a greater degree than the curvature of the earth, making very distant objects visible when the curvature of the earth would ordinarily obscure them.
It's a simple, common phenomenon; its mechanics easily explicable. The fact that you lot have nothing to offer to explain it is far more deadly to your theory than any of you admit.
It's a natural phenomenon whose mechanics are explicable only by accepting the curvature of the earth as a given. Flat-earthers seem to have no alternate explanation for it (except perhaps for blaming it on demons). That looks bad for the Flat Earth Theory. Am I being specific enough?
Do you believe that man went to the moon ? Please tell me because I'm avoiding talking to lunatics.
I believe the moon landings were a masonic hoax. I credit my Grandmother (God rest her soul), who never believed in the moon landings, with planting the seed in me for that realization, even when all the rest of the world demanded that I believe in it.
I don't find it impossible that simple earth orbit of satellites and manned vehicles has been achieved. It was for projects like that - not the fictitious moon landings - that Professor Smith's published findings were (for better or worse) applied.
And I like the play on words there about "lunatics." Nice touch. Are you sure English isn't your first language?
Well for my knowledge Jesus will judge everybody so who will you deal with it ?
Or you don't believe in hell like your masters ?
What is protestant about that ?
That's right - Our Lord will Judge me... and you. All of us.
"Who will I deal with it?" I presume you mean "how?" Well, that's between me and Our Lord, isn't it? Only Our Lord has perfect knowledge of my intentions, my interior dispositions and other such subjective knowledge (including whether He or someone else is my Master) about which you - like every other creature - are both wholly ignorant and incompetent to judge.
What's Protestant about it? Well, engaging in rash, subjective, and usurpative judgments is certainly not Catholic. You claim to be a Thomist, no? Can you not make simple distinctions between objective and subjective judgments?
In any case, how I will deal with my impending Judgment is by remaining in a state of Sanctifying Grace, which comes through the Sacraments. Hopefully, that's how you're dealing with yours, because, BRother, there's no hope otherwise.
About the Sistine Chapel, well tell me genius, what would you tell for a nudist that tells you to don't watch pornography, to cover your body, to do not read some books because of immodest language, etc ?
To quote you from earlier in the thread, "if you think something... tell explicitly. Let your yes, be yes and your no, be no." What are you implying in the above about the popes elected in that chapel - including St. Pius V and St. Pius X? That they were hypocrites? Complicit in pornography? What? "Tell explicitly."
As I said go trick your pairs
Yes, you certainly did say that. And I honestly have no idea what it means. I tried googling the phrase and literally the one and only result was this thread, so that wasn't much help.
I don't presume your innocence
Well, at least you're honest about being bad-willed.
I don't have a cause
I subscribed to end with the pretenders like you.
These two quotes strike me as contradictory.
I'm not a mason lol.
No, you're not a mason lol, you're a white knight lol, fighting for his cause lol to end pretenders like me lol.
Oh, but wait, that's right, you "don't have a cause."
Well, as you're so fond of saying: "Whatever."
You seems really upset for my nigh-incomprehensible posts.
No, I'm not "upset," but it's funny how you imply that struggling through nigh-incomprehensible posts is supposed to be an easy or pleasant task. It's not, for the record.
PS. Although it's round and we say it's oval, now pear shaped lol
Oh, is that what you meant by "trick your pairs?" Was it another play on words? Twice in one post? A bit too ambitious, perhaps.
Beyond, beyond pathetic.
Yes, it is "beyond, beyond pathetic" (even bordering on "beyond, beyond, beyond pathetic") that any Catholic would reject the Traditional Catholic cosmological model of a spherical earth in favor of his own pet intellectual obsession.
:heretic: :heretic: :heretic: :heretic:
Yep, when liberal use of "lol" and "whatever" just aren't cutting the mustard, one can always rely on emoticons to ensure one's writings come across like those of a fourteen-year-old girl.
Way to go out on a high note.
