Ask An Atheist

Before I get on to writing more important things, I thought I would highlight a comment we got on our blog recently.   This is something I do.

Right on schedule, and that is to say “four weeks late”, here’s a truther with the usual word salad in the blog.    I’m not going to reformat or try to relinkify everything because at this point.   Case is the man who meets these people head on, tries and (surprisingly) often succeeds in making friends and common cause with Truthers, all for the cause of skepticism.

…I’m not that guy.

I’m certain there are people out there with a real question about the official narrative of 9/11 who are also sane people who I would like to know.   I said it on the show, and I think it bears mentioning again:  I could be convinced of some shenanigan on the part of the US government.   I’m not one of those people who thinks that the United States government has never done anything underhanded.

That said, I don’t think the government is as competent as the Truthers make it out to be.    Also, I’d like some theories that don’t required the refutation of scientific understanding in order to be possible.

So:

I used to be an official story supporter until some yrs ago i came across these amongst other things tht troubled me n i want u to tell me wht to make of those. passport of hijacker “magically” recovered whilst whole plane INC BLACK BOXES were demolished, larry silverstein insuring of wtc 7 just weeks be4 911 n him SURPISINGLY GETTING an appointment with the dermatologist on the morning of 911(watch?v=HEb4vxK72TE&list=F­L9EyEXZUdmjHXd-ZVP4FPuw&index=­5). note also tht it was confirmed tht when Silverstein said “pull” there WERE NO FIREMEN in there so he cldnt have meant tht, there being wargames practicing a terror event with planes just days be4 911, building 7 coming straight down evenly WITHOUT first one side breaking off n then perhaps the rest following in an uneven n random pattern, the news lady stating wtc 7 had fallen WHILST IT WAS STILL STANDING clearly in the back of the news studio window, ALL of the black boxes SUPPOSEDLY, BUT i say it again A PASSPORT OF A HIJACKER SUPPOSEDLY SURVIVED, most security footage from the pentagon confiscated with only those tapes from which neither a plane nor anything else can be seen n one can just say “well ofcourse it was a plane, so many ppl supposedly saw it”, OBL NOT BEING INDICTED, GOV NOT DEVIATING FROM STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES(NOTE the former gov Jesse Ventura, also a 911truth supporter, PARTCICULARLY stresses when tht happens one ought to be extremely suspicious), thermite samples found in wtc dust BY NON US GOV FUNDED scientists(IF u can show me tht the Journal which published those results ACTUALLY was also considered illegitimate BEFORE they published something related to 911, thenN ONLY THEN, ill consider tht) otherwise tht too is another strong indicator N MUCH MORE 4 which i ask u to see “debunking 911 debunking” here on utube n also look for the debate btw Jesse Ventura and Michael Shermer at google.
ALSO watch the video by thefollowing atheist showing how the nanothermite theory is LEGIT

THEN come back n tell me if u still think theres nothing extremely fishy abt the official story n whether these rnt strong indications, if not evidence, of the us gov n ultimately the private feds involvement in these attacks. id greatly appreciate it.

Oddly, we’ve talked about a lot of this already on the episode. I’m assuming that this is a drive by comment, but if Case (or anyone else) wants to take a crack at debunking this stuff, I’m game.

Also, this comment also reminds me of a certain cleaning product.
