1. Beware the Believers

hey everyone,

I know this is off topic, but does anyone think Moby is wearing a flying spaghetti monster tshirt in this video below? I know he has a cross on the back of his neck, but I'm curious if his shirt is what it looks like. The tshirt is shown at 2:00 minutes into the video. I'm really curious.

2. Christopher Hitchens on Books & Ideas

Comment #123314 by Arcane Viper on February 7, 2008 at 12:04 am

I wrote this after seeing Christopher hitchens debate and hearing him say "quite a designer, isn't he?" What do you guys think? There are punctuation errors due to the way I must post the text.

A Well Thought Out Journey

When people ask the question, Is the big bang theory compatible with religion? many theologians answer yes. They believe in a prime mover; a god that created this universe starting with the big bang. There is no divide between science and religion for them. They believe that God designed this universe for us.

Well, I thought about it for a while and was amazed at the journey God had to take to finally realize his dream; to finally create man in his image and reveal himself to us so that we may be saved. What did it take to finally create me, in this room, in Bellingham, today? Well, it all began at a water park

Now, in order to understand the magnitude of this journey, I have decided to contain the 2,000 years of Christianity within one inch. One inch is the goal line for what God wanted to accomplish. It is his space to explore the wonders of his creation. One inch is everything we know about Christianity. This was his goal, but it certainly took a while to arrive here. 13.7 billion years, to be exactly approximate.

13.7 billion years, or rather, 108 miles is how long the journey was to create me. In the beginning, God stood at Wild Waves and Enchanted Park in Federal Way, Washington. That must be what God was doing prior to creating this universe. He was inner tubing and riding the waves before he thought it was a good idea I should exist.

At any rate he started his journey, and by any rate I, of course, mean an excruciatingly slow rate. You see, when an inch takes 2,000 years to travel, after one step, you cant really change your mind and go back home. And who would want to anyway, when you are determined to reach your goal? One things for sure; God is one determined son of a holy spirit?

Inch by inch he continued his trek. One year passed and he had moved 12.7 microns. For comparison, a grain of salt is 70 microns and the smallest particle visible to the human eye is 40 microns. One day stretched for 34.8 nanometers, or a length of ten hydrogen atoms. The journey was getting a little easier.

After 72.5 miles and 9.2 billion years, God reached Milltown, Washington. Fortunately, it was Sunday, and God decided to take a breather after successfully creating our solar system. He attended the Christian Gospel Meeting at Milltown School, which meets every night, except Saturday, at 7:30 p.m.

After another 35.5 miles, 4.5 billion years, and a lot of dinosaurs, God arrived in Bellingham and came to this room. When he reached the door he produced Homo sapiens. Now, he is only 8 feet away from me, but thats 200,000 years. He took a few steps and as the past began to meet the present, God was/is standing an inch in front of my face. He says Hello to Christianity.

Another 2,000 years pass and God is finally able to meet me. Were touching foreheads and hes staring straight into my eyes. At this point, 99% of all the other species he had created on earth had gone extinct. I really was his last hope. I can sense he is looking deep within my soul thinking, Dont **** this up for me!

There is no doubt this was a well thought out journey; worth the distance. So now we wait, because God is supposed to return soon to earth to save us once and for all. I guess it really is about the journey and not the destination. It should be any day now. We arre only a few hydrogen atoms away from the end.

3. Atheism is pretentious and cowardly

wow, sometimes I think it will be hard to improve our world with people like this. Other times I'm hopeful. I wrote some of this last night while listening to The Chemical Brothers.

When all rights are reversed the change will come; when we see life from the other side. Push these thoughts into thick air and pull your mind off mount improbable. We will rise upon the sun and gaze upon the moonset, while we sit underneath the earth and see the stars below us. Black is a little lighter, and white a little darker. The lines are blurred as they're erased. Rethink everything. Redo the work. Rework the shapes. Reshape your life.

All Rights Reversed

A new truth will come
And we will agree
A change will come
And set us free

Religion is gone
And we're not afraid
We know the answers
In shades of grey

Beauty will evolve
And alter our minds
Hatred will disappear
And violence in kind

It never stops
It's always flowing
The entropy of life
Is always going

Heaven's down
And hell is up
Driven by planetary movements
The primal chaos never stops

Embrace the opposite
And hear our words
Behind descent
Lies another world

It never stops
And no one's stopping
Time keeps moving
We keep evolving

We are the night
Our reality is an improvement
We are dark without light
Proven by the planets and their movements

They say it can't be done
They say it won't be done
They don't want it to be done
Until it has begun

Then they hope it can be done
And they see it can be done
And then it is done
And disproves everyone

In this new world
With all rights reversed
We will begin anew
And forget the worst

4. Hitchens on Falwell, Part 2

Comment #43733 by Arcane Viper on May 22, 2007 at 11:35 am

Is anyone getting tired of Hitchens and his comments? I mean, yeah, you could find it funny, but it doesn't look good to the rest of the world and especially the other viewers of Hannity and Colmes. It's just not decent behavior. I know he feels strongly about it, but he could be doing it in a different way by using sound logic of morals or something. My point is, I think Richard Dawkins should be given more air time than Hitchens nowadays.

tell me this doesn't make you mad to see that this fake science is being taught to children.

6. Kirk Cameron Proves That God Exists

Comment #40233 by Arcane Viper on May 14, 2007 at 12:59 am

Did anyone laugh when Cameron said even a four year old child could understand his reasoning? I was just thinking "yeah, and this is like arguing with a four year old." Four year olds don't understand dualism, epiphenomenolism, materialism, and the logic behind why god most certainly does not exist. Children grow out of the tales of Santa Claus, the easter bunny, and the tooth fairy because none of them threaten to send you to a firey hell.
