Actually, they misrepresented information to the point where they recanted it because they admitted to not researching properly. You are gullible if you fall that stuff.
Yeah, they weren't good or accurate, therefore they fail.

Do you really think you can get wealthy by readjusting your furniture?

Feng Shui is described as Science that guides humans into the perfect placement to better your life. The experts didn't have a perfect placement, they all said different ways will get you the money, or the same way, but paying more (as stated in the haircut).

This episode shows how religious people manipulate others into thinking the Bible is a moral code and they control people into doing what they want. Penn and Teller show that the Bible isn't true, they also show that it is ridiculous and states rules such as selling your daughter to slavery. If you think that we should do our rules according to the Bible, why isn't that there? Or how about stoning people to death? You can't just choose different parts of the Bible as a moral code, that's ridiculous.


OMFG HOW MANY TIMES MUST I GO OVER THIS

GOD, ALL OF YOU RETARDS JUST SHUT THE **** UP BEFORE I DECIDE TO GO ORTHODOX JUDAISM ON YOUR ASSES AND STONE YOU TO DEATH.

No, sometimes they are good, sometimes they are not. For the third time, they admitted to being wrong on this one. People don't watch because they are good researchers, they watch because they want their insecurites confirmed, or because they think it's funny. I hope you are not the former kind.

I watch it because I like seeing how stupid and gullibe Americans are. I don't base all my opinions on it, for one, they say Kennedy was shot by a lone assassin. I don't believe that. I do believe that Penn and Teller are smart and funny and are good at finding real experts, as they said in this particular episode, there is always a real scientist out there willing to test your claims.

While all the research about Noah and such may have not been completely accurate but the stuff they read straight out of the Bible doesn’t need research and their point is accurate. 🙂

It's accurate enough.

Ohhhh we must be nice to him. He's our only knowledgeable Christian in here.

Quite a fan of their stuff too. Can't remember the points of this one though. But I think it is mostly about people taking the bible literally against hard facts, am I incorrect about that?

I think he more meant "Sometimes I wonder why you aren't banned." actually.

I know. I was being an ass about his grammar.

My grammar was fine. It's a ligitimate sentence.

You zinged yourself there.

Once again, I haven't made an error. Should it even matter?

1. You made a grammatical gaff on the post to which I replied. Technically, your sentence is correct, but you obviously misspoke and to try to pass it off as being as such is a bunch of horseshit.

2. You misspelled "legitimate."

3. It doesn't even matter.
