Langan supported Donald Trump in the 2016 United States presidential election.

I hate stories with tragic twists at the end

It doesn't take 200 IQ to support Trump over clinton.

Youre right. It takes much, MUCH lower than that.

Does it take 200 IQ to believe in God?

Ah, there we go, that's why Vlado likes him. The other stuff just makes it sound better.

^ Is there such a thing as a *rational* religious person?

You know Pascal's Wager? You know how much that same guy contributed to the field of mathematics?
---

Pascals Wager is rationally flawed though. For it to be true, there would have to be only one religion.

No, because going to hell is infinitely bad, so unless there's a religion that threatens something worse (there's not, Christians are the ultimate fear mongers), it will always be a better expected value to pretend that God exists

It's the combination of infinity with expected value that makes the wager significant

do Muslims not also have infinite hell

I guess I could google this instead of posting here, but I really wanted to use the phrase "infinite hell"

I like the idea that God might not know that Im only pretending

I agree, on the basis that honest belief isn't really a choice, and the Abrahamic God is generally described as knowing more than just appearances, but his work in mathematics is solid.

HA! That's not what Exodus 4:23 says at all - it's about God murdering baby boys

lmfao, this is what liberals actually believe.

It's what Christians believe, I dunno about liberals
---

Not Christians who are aware of something as basic as muslims not considering Christ the son of God, but a mere prophet.
---

So he's a panentheist but calls his conception of God holo-pantheism. Weird but cool.

Also these are very different things than traditional Christian ideology, so thinking along the lines of "hey this guy with a super high IQ is a Christian like me" would be a mistake.

this totally isn't about liberals vs. conservatives, though! it's about globalists vs. nationalists!

Of some god who is not one with Christ and the Holy Ghost, i.e. not God.

Your point? I will not stop making fun of liberals when they do or say dumb things just for the sake of semantics. I recommend you stop being offended when I point out the irrationality or some other liberal's beliefs, too. Getting offended over your "group" being insulted is pretty silly in general.

why?

pretty sure if i spent every day constantly going "LOL NATIONALISTS" on this board you'd have a problem with that too.
---

No, I wouldn't... As you've seen many times, not even personal insults can phase me anymore.
---

fair enough. doesn't change the fact that it's pretty logical that i get insulted if you insult a group i'm a part of. if you'd go "LOL BLOND PEOPLE" i'd have a problem with that too.
---

*sigh* It'd be better if you didn't associate yourself with delusional people like American SJWs in the first place. But I'll try to keep it in mind.

i don't. not all liberals are SJWs. bernie isn't an SJW, for instance.

Is it the same God as the one Neil Gaiman played on Lucifer? Because that God is pretty dope. Although hot take: I'm not big on the Morgan Freeman God.

Hard to tell unless he splits into his 3 forms

Good point. I think we'll need to have a God-Off on Board 8 to determine which God is really the best one. A full 64-man/woman bracket.

Vulcan is the best god
