If atheism is a religion, health is a disease.

Retards:

the 'golden rule' is simply a way of the inferior gaining power.

Prefer the 'Iron rule'!

Secular christian sheep!

Gilks,

Correct: tautologies, or analytic propositions generally are logical necessities. So therefore the proposition that humans must organise themselves socially is not logically necessary as the predicate is not in the subject.

Your example, 'If I want an organization, then I need to organize' is only necessary if you grant the if-clause: 'if I want an organization'. If you do, it is logical to organise! But if you don't, then it's not. And my point was the if-clause itself: it's not a logical necessity that humans want to organise themselves! Do you understand?

Comment #269125 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Does it Goldy? You tell me.

I stand by my words: muslim immigration is causing the welfare state in Sweden much damage vis-a-vis the general economy.

Shipping suspects to Mecca for nuclear annihilation may be a touch harsh however, I will grant you.

How are you getting on with Das Kapital and Naomi Klein?

Comment #269120 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Goldy,

You should look up your brain and see where it's vacationing.

Comment #269117 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Zara,

You miss the point. Organisation is necessary for certain things; but it's not a logical necessity for human beings to organise themselves socially, which was the original point. An solitary life is not illogical, for example.

Comment #269114 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 3:52 pm

Gilks,

If you do not understand basic terminology that's your ignorance.

Goldy,

The vast majority of Swedish immigrants are muslims. This is not stereotyping, it is fact. Look it up.

Comment #269108 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 3:45 pm

Zara,

yes, we need not presume that it's necessary - that does not imply that it's not useful!

Are you an undergraduate theologian?

Comment #269099 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 3:36 pm

Gilks,

Why presume objective judgements are the only worth listening too? All of them are essentially subjective anyway so you're contradicting yourself.

Zara,

The internet is not a logical necessity but a useful practicality. Please consider your accusations.

Blair,

Ship suspects to Mecca and then nuke the place.

Goldy,

The problem is subjective. But that's all there is: power play.
Secondly, most immigrants in Sweden are from Iraq now, not Turkey as in your link. They are proportionally the highest unemployed.

All of you lefty liberal apologisers sicken me.

Comment #269058 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Goldy & Bonzai,

If you understand correctly, you will realise that I did not, and would not, say Islam is 'immoral'. How can it be if morality is a delusion?

But I am against it as I am against bird flu: I don't want it! It's a subjective judgement.

Peace,

Why presume we need to organise ourselves at all? It's not a logical necessity.

Comment #269022 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 2:11 pm

Jeggers,

In a nation full of Lutheran-influenced citizens with its work ethic, unemployment is a vice and something to be avoided as an embarrassment. In his scenario, the welfae stae works fine.

However, add an alien culture (i.e. muslims) who have no such protestant work ethic, and the welfare state is immediately exploited and so workers pay an overinflated tax for the unemployed happy to live on state handouts without shame.

And that's not to mention the disgraceful cultural legacy the muslims bring of irrationality, which the neo-Marxists (read: social democrats) endorse as they're so scared of appearing to discriminate because of their Frankfurt School indoctrination.

At least the Swedes recently voted in a conservative government after 80 years 9minus a 10-year gap). But a Swedish 'conservative' is like English sandal-wearing lefty hippies.

Interestingly, the far right in Europe now is becoming more rational than the far Left. I am neither, by the way.

But the Left has become an irrational faith.

Comment #269012 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 1:57 pm

Peace,

All those systems are conditioned upon the Christian notion of equality. Something which, without God, cannot be upheld as true.

Anonymous,

the welfare state is destroying the nation,no doubt. It has a limited shelf life as it is inevitably exploited. Sweden has no future as Sweden. R.I.P.

Comment #269001 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 1:50 pm

Peace,

By following the hard truth.

Comment #268993 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 1:41 pm

Janus,

All is true, but 7 & 8 are speculative!

But I would love to see Marx' face smashed inwards by Thor's hammer, were it possible.

Comment #268962 by Henri Bergson on October 22, 2008 at 1:12 pm

As a quasi-Swede I should like to add a few points (this is the hard truth!):

1. Swedish (and Danish, Norwegian) liberalism comes from its inherited Lutheranism. I.e. Scandinavian liberalism is a legacy of Northern Christianity.

2. This extremist social democratic liberalism is destroying Sweden: it lets in and supports immigrant muslims who are destroying its culture and raping its women (look up the post-immigrant rape stats).

3. All prescriptive morality is a delusion, like religion, and as such is a faith. Utilitarianism, socialism, contractarianism is all bullshit.

4. The Swedes are irreligious yet moral - but their morals are destroying them (being too soft) and are based on nothing and so will ultimately in the long term not be able to sustain itself.

5. Muslim immigrants should be deported from Scandinavia so as to maintain the unique Scandinavian culture.

6. Swedes are thus completely brainwashed in extremist Leftism: I was never given grades for schoolwork as it was deemed immoral to award grades to all pupils in case some did not do so well! Reduction to mediocrity.

7. The vikings must return!!!!

8. Wake up Sweden, smell the coffee, worship THOR and ODIN rather than Trotsky and Marx you bloody wimps! Your viking forefathers would be ashamed of you.

16. The soul? It may all be in your mind

Comment #267323 by Henri Bergson on October 20, 2008 at 12:38 pm

What a retard.

He still believes in 'right and wrong' as if they're absolute facts to be discovered. Morality, like religion, is a delusion. Behaviour and emotions do not constitute morality - he should look up the 'naturalistic fallacy'.

Secondly, consciousness is of course part and parcel of the brain, but it is a different category to corporeality: imagining a blue triangle does not create a blue triangle in physical space.

When people speak of delusions, they should first rid themselves of them.

17. Leading geneticist Steve Jones says human evolution is over

Comment #261629 by Henri Bergson on October 7, 2008 at 7:00 am

I think the time for a revaluation of eugenics is at hand.

The Nazis gave it a bad name, but China has had a eugenics program in place since 1993 as they never shared our military history.

We should learn from Europe's mistakes. Eugenics needn't lead to the Holocaust just as socialism needn't lead to the Gulag prison camps.

I'm sure Steve Jones would disagree with me as he's a leaf on the tree of the prevailing ideology of our time: political correctness/neo-Marxism. Once we have uprooted this delusion, based on false premises, the human species can take a step forward once again.

Neo-eugenics is not Nazism.

18. Turkey bans biologist Richard Dawkins' website

Comment #249343 by Henri Bergson on September 18, 2008 at 2:15 am

Ataturk would be reeling in his grave. Let's hope the Turkish secular military, loyal to Ataturk's principles of a secular, modern Turkish state, once again stage a coup.

19. Creationism call divides Royal Society

He was not misquoted. Reiss has written to me personally responding to his own quotations.

20. Is Killing Liberals a Hate Crime?

Comment #222706 by Henri Bergson on July 31, 2008 at 6:37 pm

To answer the title - if killing theists be a hate crime, then killing liberals also is.

The reason being that most types of liberalism rely on just as many unprovable tenets as any religion.

All are ideologies, are they not?

P.S. see Dawkins in a new atheist music video:

I agree that in tennis especially there should be sexual discrimination as I'd rather watch women play the game.

Obviously because of their bodies.

Comment #202553 by Henri Bergson on July 1, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Brian,

Interesting interpretation, but 'fvck you' stand for 'First Views Can Kill You', meaning quite proverbially that prima facie judgements can be fatal.

The teapot obviously does not take heed of the messiah's command, 'Judge not lest ye be judged'.

(God I'm bored or mad...)

I'm so sorry if I have hurt your feelings or offended you in any way. Excuse my blasphemy, I mean no disrespect to your idols.

Having said that, you prove my point, so fvck you. I don't mean that disrespectfully.

Decius (90),

The simple point I make is that evolution does not factor in valuations. It is mere efficient cause, not final cause. Isn't that clear?

Comment #202476 by Henri Bergson on July 1, 2008 at 2:21 pm

Well,

Maybe Dawkins is not a social Darwinist as he's a cultural Christian, but I'm not convinced...

I see nothing wrong with social Darwinism, however, or eugenics, and think we need to re-evaluate it. Otherwise, we'll all end up like the US.

Gregg and Decius,

breeding is evolution by artificial selection, and that is what we were talking about.

Rachel,

A chihuahua evolved from a wolf - evolution and excellence are not synonyms.

I'm not talking about banal evolution, I'm talking about excellence (admittedly a vague term).

Comment #202455 by Henri Bergson on July 1, 2008 at 2:00 pm

Gregg,

As Nietzsche promoted 'master morality', I would not think him a mere nihilist.

It's more complicated though: he called himself a nihilist at times. But he is a nihilist to a Christian; a moralist to a 'Dionysian'.

Let's not go there. Suffice to say, you're wrong!

46. It can be right to discriminate against the religious

Comment #202451 by Henri Bergson on July 1, 2008 at 1:57 pm

D,

That is,
if you are rebutting Al's socialist retardation idea by stating that (former) socialist Russia & China have highly intellectual space programs; then I am defending Al by saying that socialism may retard evolution but it would take a lot longer than the 80 years or so in which Russia and China were socialist.

47. It can be right to discriminate against the religious

Comment #202444 by Henri Bergson on July 1, 2008 at 1:50 pm

decius,

Regarding Russia and China: it takes more than 80 years for species to evolve. Interestingly, China have a eugenics law in place now, since 1993.

Bugaboo,

'right' and 'fair' have no absolute meaning, they just represent leading ideologies and power structures.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Dawkins is, in fact, a social Darwinist but realises it would be unwise to admit as much in this PC climate.

48. It can be right to discriminate against the religious

Comment #202433 by Henri Bergson on July 1, 2008 at 1:35 pm

bugaboo,

you agree that equality is not actual but you believe it is ideal.

Why do you idealise it? Why not idealise hierarchy? Why not promote the evolution of man rather than the equality of man?

Typical current western social meme in your brain!
