Okay, for every Sasquatch believer, what does it do for you? Like, how would it change your life one way or another? It would just be another living being that's been hunted to extinction/displaced by human development, it would just be sad more than exciting for me... And do any of you believe in the existence of the Creator?
and the same question for deniers
For me, as someone born and raised outside of North America, the Sasquatch is just part of American mythos, kinda like the "chupacabra" (whatever that is) or La Llorona. But I guess, as some sort of flesh and blood large yet unclassified primate, it's an easier thing to believe in? Regardless, it would just be kinda sad, yet another group of beings living in fear/threatened by humanity.
TIL La Llorona is basically a woman in white with a cooler name, basically the same lore//background.
For me, people who are eager to show their contempt for any sort of non-mainstream theory are probably trying to get approval out of it. They want people to think they're sensible, respectable, rational, without having to go to the trouble of actually reasoning.
Just look up the orthodox belief, and tell everybody you believe it without question, and mock anyone who ever questions it. That makes you rational. In this case, call them drug-addicts.
OP even quickly admitted he'd falsified/misrepresented the claims. But that makes him rational, because only loonies question what they're told about Bigfoot.
Easy to see what they're getting out of it.
I think OP was just making a funny, tbf.
On one hand, I get what you're saying: the acceptable thing to think is that Sasquatches do not exist, and conforming is safe, and from that position of power since you're in the majority you can mock others. Sure, it's an ego thing, a quick jab to feel strong. On the other hand, maybe there's just not enough evidence to believe in the Sasquatch and sometimes people share that opinion online. Regardless, you've been very courteous and I'm glad we've had a pleasant interaction. 👍
Yes, you have a nice day. In addition, death to America.
Fantastic addition. 😅👋
Orthodoxy is part of christianity. It's the same belief, just in a different wrapper
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
