...you can believe anything.

But that doesn't make it true.

It doesn't matter if all your friends and family believe it.

That still doesn't mean it's true.

Your cannot make what did not happen actually happen because it never happened ‐‐ no matter how badly you want it to happen.

Lies don't make you stronger.

Lies make you weaker.

Lies just lie to you and will always hang you out to dry in the end.

Embracing reality maybe difficult, but truth won't leave you like lies.

Or if you believe Moses parted the red sea, God made man from mud and woman from a rib after he created the world in seven days, perhaps you would believe anything. Like any conspiracy theory. Makes you wonder the religions of the anti-vaxxers. Any tie in?

Lies aren't lies as long as you believe them. Belief. Faith. Those are the enemies. They work on fear. Great team.

Belief, faith, are just the flying buttresses that keep the cathedrals of lies propped up and their agendas not only thriving but respected, even holy.

But what you gonna do when our society has faith and belief on such an exalted pedestal that facts and truth can only hope to be noticed here and there once in a while as they vie for at least one little corner of your cerebellum.


Hasn't the Bible done enough damage?

Or if you believe that everyone on earth spoke a unified language until 2200 BCE, when some nimrod wanted to build a tower to heaven, which put god into yet another of his Endless stream of petty snits and presto! All these different languages appeared ex nihilo, which of course stopped that tower-building right then —

You can believe anything.

If you can believe in ancient ocean crossing wooden submarines, you can believe anybody!

Hey! There are occasions when I even believe you!!!

You may want to seek help about that, TDR!

Actually it was a Yellow submarine

How could it not be true if Joe Jr., a "truth teller" so stated it?

The cool Vikings had wooden ships; in fact, all ships were made of wood until the nineteenth century.

Those clever Jaredites set the pace for everyone. :D

The Navy still hasn’t managed to duplicate Jaredite lighting technology.

The Navy doesn't realize that faith trumps technology every time.

The right finger touching stones can work magic. The Navy should get a clue.

Every time I look at my wristwatch in the dark I should thank the Jaredites for getting God to invent glow in the dark rocks. The material used in my watch surely came from those magic rocks in the submarines, not the magic rock in the hat joey used.

I should say so.

"This first recorded ocean crossing was about forty centuries ago, of seaworthy, ocean-going vessels without known sails, engines, oars, or rudders—eight barges like and near contemporary with Noah’s ark, long as a tree, tight as a dish, peaked at the end like a gravy boat (see Ether 2:17), corked at top and bottom, illuminated by molten stones (see Ether 2:20; Ether 3:1ff.), perhaps with radium or some other substance not yet rediscovered by our scientists."

The sealed part of the Book of Mormon mentions how the Brother of Jared’s hair was falling out in clumps.

If only his lead garments had come with some kind of hat.

Oh, the Navy has the means of making things glow without electricity. The side effects of said means are: nausea, hair loss, skin irritation, bleeding gums, birth defects, cancer, and death. The glowing usually means somebody didn't listen to the Nukes (sailors working with the reactors) and things are now FUBAR.

No wonder there aren't any traces of Jaredites; they all got radiation poisoning from the rocks.

The 1787 Iron Boat

1787 'Birmingham, July 28. We have the pleasure to mention the following instance of the increasing manufacture and opulence concerned in the iron trade in this kingdom. A few days ago a boat built with English iron, by J. Wilkinson, Esq. of Bradley-Forge, came up our canal to this town, loaded with 22 tons 15 hundred weight its own metal, &c. &c. It is nearly of equal dimensions with the other boats employed upon the canal, being 70 feet long, and 6 feet 8½ inches wide. The thickness of the plates with which it is made is about 5-16ths, and is put together with rivets, like copper or fire-engine boilers; but the stern-posts are wood, and the gunwhale is lined with, and the beams are made of elm planks. Her weight is about 8 tons; she will carry in deep water upwards of 32 tons, and when light she draws about the same as a common wooden boat, viz. eight or nine inches of water.

This not the only experiment of building with metal instead of wood. The ingenious Mr.Stalkouth, shipbuilder in the river Thames, and author of the valuable work, entitled "Naval Architecture," is now building a vessel, whose bottom is to be entirely of copper, without any planking. This is an experiment made at the instance of a Copper Company, and there is reason to believe that the essay will be completely successful; and that for a certain class of vessels will be accompanied with very great advantages.'[3]

Note: There is a challenge to the claim of priority: 'The iron boat lately built by the direction of an English gentleman, is not without a precedent even in this kingdom, as about five years since one of a similar kind was constructed at the iron mills near Lucan, and employed in carrying the fabrics manufactured there to this city [Dublin]. It may seem somewhat strange that iron should swim, but the specific gravity of water being in proportion to a solid or cubical inch to that metal as six to one, if spread out in thinness or flatness as seven to one, must undoubtedly float. ...'[4]

I wonder if anyone back then harangued from the pulpit that 'floating metal' was of the devil?
