Have you checked if you have some type of color blindness? AFAIK mild color blindness is more common than people think. It's often so subtle that many sufferers don't even notice.
What? Both stripes are green. If any, he would be blind for that specific type of opthic effect, because he is not deluded into thinking that one of the stripes is blue.
Yes, both are green but it's suppose to look blue & green. If he were color blind, he wouldn't be able to see the subtle differences (magenta on green making blue, orange on green making a bolder green) to make the illusion work.
Both stripes are the exact same green, but the two different shades of red make them look different. Maybe if one has difficulty in distinguishing between the two shades of red, it affects the perception of the green stripes? I don't know.
I don't think you're supposed to get confused about what the colors actually are, but about which stripes are the real stripes laid on top of the main spiral and which stripes are actually the main spiral showing through, since the colors switch in certain places. But I could be wrong.
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude
Strange, I can see all the colors, but I can't see the 3D movies correctly,
this is the only optical illusion that don't deceives me, I guess it's good:

hahah green becomes blue! cool.
Now, if you have any advantage over normal people, you might be able to find what's wrong in this picture.
I took like 2 minutes to find out...
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

I used to think Gumby was blue.
Although that's probably more bad TV reception than color blindness. I can see clearly that he's green now. ^_^;

Well, I was never what you call a "Kid Genius" but should underestimate someone because of their youth or age? I know television often exaggerates things about child geniuses but still I heard that some master chess players are just kids, wha should I do if or when I encounter this in my lifetime?

Image unrelated (maybe)... but I did it all for the lulz and I didn't want to double post.

That site didn't work for me. All I saw was a black screen with some image in the middle.
I'd like you to check this one out. The bible is made of epic fails.
I wonder what people mean when they say "I'm studying the bible"... If they were really paying attention wouldn't they notice this sooner or later?

You're surprised at yourself for not moderating your own thread? This thread hasn't had anything of value for several months, and when I last checked, you still had the ability to lock or otherwise modify it.

Some practicing atheists just love building strawmen by simplifying things to the point where they sound ridiculous.
Compare it to this: The Allies killed quite a lot of civilians, including women an children, whey attacked Germany at the end of World War II. Can we thus unequivocally say that the Allies attacking Germany was the wrong thing to do, and that they were evil killers and murderers?
Or was there a higher reason for them to do that? How many lives were saved precisely because the Allies attacked Germany? Would we be living in democratic peace if they hadn't done that?
So you see, it's not always so black and white. Sometimes people get killed, but there may be a higher purpose.
It's easy to blame God and build straw men several thousands of years after the fact, especially when you don't know the real circumstances that caused the situation to unfold. How do you know that the Israelis didn't simply get rid of a contemporary nazi regime which was slaughtering people?
Of course these practicing atheists want to give the image that those people were just living there their everyday lives, minding their own business and doing harm to nobody, when suddenly these fanatics come and slaughter them for no reason.

In case you haven't followed the news, I haven't exactly been active at the site administration lately ― that also applies to moderator stuff.

From what I gathered, it was just some people investigated the book of Exodus, and then making the incorrect conclusion that if one book in the Bible is true, all of them must be.
I haven't noticed such conclusion being drawn. However, the first five books of the Bible ― whose validity as an accurate historical document (at least after Abraham, and so also after Noah) seems to be strongly supported by the archeologic and geologic evidence shown in that film and the book ― comprise almost the entire religion of Judaism, and by extension, Christianity as well (*), so if such conclusion was drawn, it is a relatively minor assumption compared to the main topic.
*) Though modern Christianity regretfully mostly ignores its roots, taking the New Testament alone and retroactively supplementing it with concepts borrowed from Babylonia.
Yes it is. God made everything exactly the way it is. If anything behaves badly, it is God's fault for making it that way.
Or maybe people behave badly because they choose to behave badly? Is it God's doing if people choose to do the bad thing?
One could argue that why God made people so that they could choose to do the bad thing. However, there is no such a thing as free choice if there is nothing to choose from. If people could only behave in a certain way, they would not have free choice, and thus they would not be making choices at all. Is that what you would prefer?
Maybe God thought it would be nice to give people free choice. True free choice, not just an illusion of it.
If people could only behave in a certain way, they would not have free choice, and thus they would not be making choices at all. Is that what you would prefer?
I think that, from theistic standpoint, there is no option to prefer: either your religion directly states that you have freedom of choice, or that you haven't. Naturally you'd want to choose whatever the religion prescribes you to if you want to follow it in the first place.
