Funny thing, none of the astro-naughts wants to put their hand on the Bible and swear they went to the moon, funny that.

A few hundred contractors are involved in making our Trident submarines. 140 or so sailors go underwater each patrol. There are two major Trident ports, another dozen set up for the occassional port visit (can’t be just anywhere, Tridents draft as deep as an aircraft carrier). They’re the subject of international treaties on their operation and subject to inspection by our enemies for treaty compliance.
I’ve been on four subs, 16 deterrent patrols. If some ‘no submersibles’ conspiracy nut came up and, in spite of ALL the assembled evidence, and asked me to swear on a bible that i’d been more than a hundred feet underwater, i’d tell him to fuck right off.
The fact that no one wants to play in your conspiracy passion play, or give your notion any credibility, is not the flex you might think it is.
I saw a video on YouTube a long time ago, I’ll have to find it again one of these days, it was by this guy who was some sort of video/film expert, he basically explained how we just didn’t have the video technology at the time to make a “fake moon landing.” (After all, that was a few months before there were even prototypes of the first VCRs)
You know, the idea that anyone who lied with their hand on a bible would be struck down by the wrath of God hasn’t been believed for centuries. It’s about as reliable as the idea that a murderer could be identified by having them put their hand on the victim, because the body would bleed.
By the way, even back in the days when I was a Christian, I had no problem lying when my parents ordered me to “swear on the bible” that I hadn’t done something. Still here 60 years later. Of course, it could have been because we didn’t use the King James Version, but the Revised Standard, which everyone knows isn’t The Real Bible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
