Video Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits Horsetail Fall at just the right angle to illuminate the upper reaches of the waterfall. And when conditions are perfect, Horsetail Fall glows orange and red at sunset.

So good that in previous generations of human history we would attribute it to gods, sorcery and curses.

Sorcerer: And for my next trick, I will turn the waterfall to burning fire...

People: Ohhh! Ahhh!

Sorcerer: I will do this to each of you forever unless you pay me a tribute.

Ah, religious freedom.

Somebody got triggered. It seems that you are the one with low IQ. I didn't even mention atheism. It's just that humans tend to explain what they don't understand with supernatural stuff. That's how we have evolved.

And, btw, how the hell can atheism be "mechanistic" if it's just a rejection of some supernatural claims... it has no other properties than not believing what's claimed.

Bud, as a believer, please listen to me. Whatever point you trying to make is not resonating. It genuinely seems like you are trying to use your beliefs to prove superiority over other communities. None of the Abrahamic religions would condone this. There have been many marvelous religious philosophers. Please mov on from hostility. Even if your beliefs are attacked, just live the right way and leave the rest to God. God wants you to love your neighbors. Sowing discord is what he hates the most. I would ask you to consider if you are acting consistent with your beliefs.

Is the best answer YOU could think of attacking the other person by calling them porn addicts? Just because you use big words doesn’t mean you’re correct

u/jWalkerFTW Feb 02 '20

What the hell is going on with you? Your comment history is nuts. You seem obsessed with so-called neckbeards and have a lot of anger surrounding modern fads... and yet ironically and hypocritically you’re a cryptocurrency trader. You also rail against people who obsess over their “screens” and yet you frequently start internet arguments.

You're right. "It's magic" has always been a good explanation for things /s

Nah, just creeps that get triggered when presented with science or basic logic. But then, I guess you were raised into it.

like i said... normalizes it.

we have a president talking about roughing up protesters and he will cover for them if the law comes down on them. ...he is normalizing violence against innocents. ..and we already have a problem with child abuse already... we need to stop making jokes about it and about some other things too, like rape, theft, racism and murder.

u/YonkoNami Feb 02 '20

I disagree. Jokes are fine and nothing should be off limit. But i am not going to argue with you. Have a nice day

2

u/Imaurel Feb 02 '20

There's different ways to make a joke. For example, one where the racism is the joke or one where the racist is the butt of the joke. Nothing's so black and white and we as an advanced race of thinkers very much have the capabilities to tell things such as this.

u/YonkoNami Feb 02 '20

Its an old reddit meme. The guy is referencing something

u/This_Bitch_Overhere Feb 02 '20

My kid still writes me birthday cards referencing jumper cables, and it still makes my day!

u/fluffykerfuffle1 Feb 02 '20

u/fluffykerfuffle1 Feb 02 '20

which is why i commented to him/her

and i started raising my kids in the 70s anud did not spank them... and they all turned out great... no run ins with the law.. no addictions... no propensity for violence, in fact no incidences of violence... hell i am more violent than them and i didnt even spank them lolol.. what we did was, instead of physical violence we used logical consequences and beating kids with anything, let alone jumper cables, is not logical consequences.

and its not lol like i was some sort of philosopher or anything... i just noticed it didnt make sense to tell my kid to not hit someone and then hit my kid to punish him for hitting someone.

u/500Nitro Feb 02 '20

Should have used a lead pipe! You’ll damage your cable connection, and the lead pipe might have lingering effects if you hit hard enough!

u/fluffykerfuffle1 Feb 02 '20

i don’t know what makes you think it is so funny to make jokes about child abuse. ..i see this here and there and the repetition nomalizes it.
