I wonder if your boss makes any distinction in their mind between truly believing something and telling everybody you believe it's true. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Zink@programming.dev 1 point 5 months ago I wonder if he's ever heard of Pascal's Wager or the 800 reasons it doesn't make sense.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 6 points 5 months ago (2 children) My boss for example fully believes that the earth is 6000 years old and that carbon dating isn't real. Because and I quote "I am required by my faith to believe the earth is 6000 years old for it is in the Bible. If I do not believe it I will go to hell".
