1. Aids Victims Risk Lives

Aaron SF,

Nice link. A link to a company put up and funded by the AIDS industry to pretend it's "non-partisan" to come up with reinforcing dogmas so funding can continue in the wrong direction. People like you are the reason we have such degradation in society. Will you EVER wake up?

Comment #30380 by paradigm667 on April 7, 2007 at 11:41 pm

This is pathetic.
ALL the responses are incredibly lame.

"I'm furious"
"How could they do this, we need to shut down the crazy churches, etc etc."

Look, I am an atheist just like the rest of you, but I assure you there is no reason to be bad mouthing a church for offering holy water to cure AIDS.

Instead of just bashing everything we hear about churches and "miracles" why not try and understand what is going on? Most of you who are reading this are falling victim to your own supposed escape from mental suppression. It's just that, instead of believing and worshiping imaginary gods and bibles, you have not decided to free yourself and truly be an individual, but rather you have chosen to blindly follow a new doctrine. That doctrine being of course modern science.

Now that being said, I do not believe the scientific method is false. I think it is one of the most useful and TRUE things we really do have. What I DO reject, is the way this method has been manipulated and grossly abused and misrepresented by the parties interested in making profit at the expense of keeping you uninformed and penniless.

So back to the story, is holy water really healing people with HIV? No. No more than a little girl having an imaginary peppermint tea makes her sore throat go away. The reason such a story broke is because it is a FACT that HIV does not cause AIDS. It is a FACT that the very drugs which cost thousands and thousands of dollars are not only useless against AIDS, but actually are some of the most toxic substances known in medicine. Don't think so? Just look at an AZT label with a skull and crossbones warning label alerting you that even having the pills come in contact with your skin is justification in and of itself for contacting your local poison control center. WOW. Thats new to you I bet...
The basic concept is this...The AIDS drugs are in fact worse for you than no treatment at all. So when people are using holy water and being "cured" they really aren't being cured, but rather the very fact that they are avoiding the drugs is the actual cure.
I am against churches, bibles, fundamentalists, zealotry, and imaginary god worship...But I am not going to dish out false blame where none is due. Don't believe me about the drugs being so bad? Go look at any published study with the drugs...They NEVER compare the drugs to a placebo. EVER. Why? Because the placebo always wins. By MILES and MILES. The people with NO treatment at all are always way better off than the ones taking the drugs (which are actually not drugs for AIDS, but rather Chemotherapy drugs that were being tested in the 60s and were literally TOO toxic to make the market....yea...these are now, i shit you not, being sold to the poor folks who happen to test positive for a virus that has never been proven to cause AIDS, has never been isolated, and has thus never even been proven to EXIST).

So stop bashing everything you hear for no reason. I am not advocating drug use, or unprotected sex for everyone, or anything absurd like that. I am advocating REASON and SCIENCE. The very things our wonderful fearless leader Mr. Dawkins claims to be advocating. Like anyone else, he is spot on about some things, but way off about others.

As far as HIV/AIDS...what causes AIDS if it's not HIV? What is the cure? Here's a place to start:

It's a website I made a little while ago to inform people, in particular kids on my campus, but feel free to browse around and see if you can inform yourself in the process.

Have a great day people.

The fact is, this "discovering" and digging up the ancient heroes of mythical nature is not a new phenomenon. This is the game that is played. It's not about Jesus. It's about creating CONTROVERSY. Look at all the morons out and about within the next few weeks, months, etc who are going to start spewing off every known comment and personal feeling in regard to this new "discovery."
Of course it's a hoax. It is WELL known that no person named Jesus EVER EXISTED. Jesus is exactly as mythical as Zeus, or Hercules. There is no actual person whose life the story was based on "and then distorted by the evil church." The only proof we have for an existence of a person named Jesus is in one book and that is the Bible. Everything else that has been said to be original has been exposed as either a forgery, which is rampant even to this day, or simply a mis identification.

Agree with you about J. Campbell, Niels.

I think many authors and especially philosophers were subject to the same probable explanation you propose.

It's always hard to go against the grain, eh?

I will say this: it's very hard to say: "religion is solely based on ____ " It's based on many things and for many reasons. Some of them I dare not mention in this thread, but Sun, Lunar, Stellar worship is certainly a MAIN element that influenced religions of all kinds. Another is obviously male/female anatomy. Another is also nature. There is alot more though, however it isn't necessary to research for hours on end if you are simply looking for logic. All you have to do is just...realize. We all know there is no god. Some of us just don't realize it.

Even those Jehova's Witnesses...They come around and tell you that only 10,000 people get into heaven and it's the end times 'a comin, right? Now, why would they be so worried about getting as many people to convert, so they can be saved and go to heaven...that would drastically lower the J. Witnesses's own chances of making the cut, one would think, right? I mean the logic is quite ludicrous. To think: There must be more than 10,000 Jehova's Witnesses in the world at any given time, not to mention ALL TIME numbers, so I would say it's probably a better idea to first sift through their own members for the unlucky ones before spreading the word. That, or proofreading their scriptures just in case there are hopefully some more zeros in the number that they might have missed somehow. :-) --> I can't even call those people idiots, you know. It's just too easy and pointless. They are just plain and simply comical. I find humor in their very existence. It's a feeling one can develop and comprehend much better after reading anything by Albert Camus, actually.

Anyway, to quote one of my favorite philosophers, Alan Watts speaking about the assumption that religious people really do believe what they say:
"They don't believe. They believe that they SHOULD believe. They believe they OUGHT to believe. But they don't believe. If these people really believed the things they preach there would be screaming in the streets. People would be taking out whole pages in the newspaper ads! The churches would be going out of their minds!"

Have a good one guys.

"Paradigm, you forgot the ORIGINAL one, Osiris."

--No, I didn't: I mentioned Horus.

Osiris, Isis, and Horus (God, Mary, Jesus)

And as we know, the trinity IS god, and god IS the trinity. Same story with Osiris. In fact same exact story as
Baal, Ishtar, and Tammuz predating Osiris.

There is no "original" unfortunately. The only original thing to trace it all back to is simply the same thing we have today: The same SUN up in the sky, and stars in the night.

LOL! I completely misinterpreted you. LOL in this case I obviously agree with you, agreeing with me. : )
As far as XTC "Dear God" I am not familiar with this artist/group. I did just check out the music video.

Incidentally, I find it absolutely amazing to read people's comments on youtube and googlevideo etc. It is amazing some of the stupidity and utter ignorance that is displayed.

John P,

It would be nice to have a reason for your logic, because I don't follow.

How is man creating god in his image "the essence of the truth about god" ?

And, yeah, as far as the other stuff, I wouldn't try to dispute that if I were you either.

Easy up Yeahok. Here...

"The word Holy Bible is derived from the Greek words Helios Biblos. Helios means sun and Biblos is derived from the Egyptian word for papyrus which means paper. Accumulated papers make books. "Holy Bible" means Sun Book…
Anthony T. Browder, From the Browder File, The Institute of Karmic Guidance, Washington, D.C., 1989, p. 54"

Watch the Naked Truth Documentary..its very good for starters:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6410112404402873027&q=the+naked+truth



"Indeed, that the Christians worship on Sunday betrays the genuine origins of their god and godman. Their "savior" is actually the sun, which is the "Light of the world that every eye can see." The sun has been viewed consistently throughout history as the savior of mankind for reasons that are obvious. Without the sun, the planet would scarcely last one day. So important was the sun to the ancients that they composed a "Sun Book," or "Helio Biblia," which became the "Holy Bible." 91a"

The bible is SO CLEARLY astrotheology and adamant sun worship that it still amazes me to this day how people cannot see this.
Honestly. Jesus=god=the sun

EVERY time the bible describes Jesus or god it is ALWAYS as "the light" "brilliant, bright" etc etc. Go find me a passage in the bible where it says jesus was a man with brown hair, skinny, about 6'00" tall, and tan skin. It DOESN'T.

WHAT DO YOU THINK A HALO is? HELLO! A HALO is nothing more than an outline of THE SUN BEHIND A PERSON'S HEAD. A halo is not a circle above your head! It is the VISUAL representation of an ANTHROPOMORPHIZATION of the SUN in relation to man. God did not create MAN in HIS image, rather MAN created GOD in HIS image.

Go do some research rather than looking up words on etymonline. It's a great site and it gives you the "chirstian" definition. Based on etymo's definition, the word basically originated with christianity. Clearly it was used in greek before that time, and in fact can be traced WAY back to summeria and babylon.

Hopefully this helps you out a bit. Have a good one friend, and don't get so jumpy next time. Calm down.

It is well known that the cult of Mithra existed hundreds of years B.C.E.

Religious scholars even admit this. Of course the argument they use is the standard "devil went back in time and created all these cults to trick or test your faith."

It's sad that if you are with a group of religious friends and you make such an argument you are looked at like you are from an alien planet. It really is. How much progress can we make if we refuse to acknowledge our reality. And why do we want to delude ourselves anyways? Stupid things like the bible promote being stupid. The bible has an answer for everything, so the point is, "hey why bother being curious about life, god is the answer for everything, no go do something productive, like pray for eternal bliss."

Good comment Candor: There is much more to what you just said about "Sunday" being the Sun's Day.
As well as the Pope's Mitra, or Mitre.

But Mithra is only one of a few mythical characters who shares similar a similar story to the jesus figure. A few more include:
Tammuz
Apollo
Dionysus
Attis
Baal
Horus
Zoroaster
Hercules
Buddha
Krishna

The list can go on almost to the infinite. There are far too many to list, the point is that all of these characters are considered fictional, yet they all share the exact same story as the jesus figure and are all dated before Christianity.

Here, you want to know what the bible is? It's all in the title:
HOLY BIBLE = Helios Biblios
Helios - Sun
Biblios - Book

Holy Bible = Sun Book
This is why we worship on SUNday.

It's all allegory. This is why the church doesn't condone astrology or astronomy. If you study enough astrology and astronomy you will inevitably come to the realization that the bible is a complete work of man referencing Lunar, Solar, and Celestial skies. No code. No hidden secrets to revelations and the apocalypse. No miracles. No walking on water (ie the sun's reflection on the ocean as it sets). I can go one forever. Anyways, if I made some of you curious, good. Hopefully everyone who is reading this already understands what I am saying.

point taken, but I was referring to debating "people like her," not actually her. She just epitomized so many morons all in a one liner so well I had no choice but to make the connection.

I appreciate you asking me to lighten up though. I hope my tone didn't come across as angry or overly serious. I like to think I have a very wide and open minded sense of humor. Within the context she was certainly not implying she wanted a debate, however like I said she epitomized the exact people who do think that way.

The lady's comment is just pathetic. It's so useless to debate people who make comments on the level of hers. And then they wonder why we result to personal attacks....They can at least understand them. It's always the dumber ones who are the most annoying to debate. They know it all and don't need to explain it to you.

The whole story of Jesus has been told over and over and over again.

It's all astrotheology. Forget about evolution
proving religion wrong. That's beating a dead horse. What Richard does in his books is he goes through incredibly painstaking efforts to dissect and retrace and explain every point he makes in contrast to religion. I mean, anyone who reads his material thoroughly and has a clear mind and blood circulation to their heads will inevitably have to come to the conclusion that Richard is presenting some pretty real truths.
But despite the obvious scientific and evolutionary explanations for why god doesn't exist, it is also all too obvious just on the scholarly level that religions, in particular our own "beloved" Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc etc are all FORGERIES. They are all results of...well...a form of religious doctrine evolution, if you will. So in a sense they are subject to the very fundamental laws of evolution that they profess do not exist. Again, beating a dead horse. But its very interesting to read old documents written by the gnostics and even some priests who clearly indicate how it's all a sham and a complete forgery.
If you want to know more do some research into astrology and the bible. Thats all the bible is. Then you can understand why the Moses character and the calf were significant, jesus and fish, the END TIMES and aquarius. Most people who have a jesus fish on their cars for instance couldn't tell you why in the world it's a fish. They have no clue. Yet they will go on forever and ever telling you why their religion is real and the truth. LOL!!!

Incidentally, one of the main players in the organized atheist movement was himself a DEVOUT christian in his early days, even becoming a priest at one point. His name I forget, I remember I went to see one of his presentations/lectures in an auditorium when I was at the University of Arizona less than 2 years ago. I believe he has a book called "Losing Faith in Faith." Either way. Very rare to see an ex-atheist with newfound zealotry in their respective religion. It is all too common to find ex-zealots coming to grips with reality and realizing their delusions and trying to inform others.
Lost my train of thought...anyways, main point is above all else...its' all about giving the children and young a chance to come to their own conclusions. How dare we cripple them at birth by forcing them to shut out all belief about the universe and themselves without ever letting them think for themselves. this is one of the few thoughts that can actually make me vomit.

Cheers.
