1. Mecca should become core to measure time zones: scholars

Comment #165788 by tieInterceptor on April 22, 2008 at 10:25 am

bonzay I get this ideas after watching videos on youtube like the one I posted,

that we could use the kabaa as a dumping ground for all the nuclear waste from power stations, and the fact that they could not circle it any more would kill 2 birds with one stone... no more fulfilling one of the pillars of the religion...

then I get back into my senses, breath deep... and remind myself that they are just deluded people, do not need to get so worked up.

one indicator of their level of technology is the number of scientific books that are translated into the local language. Then he drops the bomb. In the last 1,000 years, the entire Muslim world has translated about the same number of science books as Spain does in one year. Talk about off-scale.


that is very telling,

also the 20% of the world population is Muslim, 1.4 Bilion of them... they have in total 8 Nobel prices, 4 of them are Nobel peace price (one to Yasser Arafat... seriously)

jewish population is 12 million or 0.02% of the world population ,they have 177 nobel prices ...

if the muslims had the same ratio of Nobel laureates they should have right now, 17.667 prices.

I mean, Islam is scientifically literate etc etc? it's a joke, it's clear that they are totally disconnected from the 21st century. If it wasn't for the chance that Oil is found in their territories, it would have quietly disappeared into nothingness.

2. Mecca should become core to measure time zones: scholars

Comment #165192 by tieInterceptor on April 21, 2008 at 7:41 am

this is the clip I saw with a Muslim nut on TV saying that NASA saw energy coming out of mecca holding the world... and it's keeping it SECRET!
and that Neil Armstrong wanted to say that ALLah was the one who put the planet hanging there...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NPww2q6-kfE

apparently mecca is in the Zero magnetism zone, and it makes you live longer too... it's like... bullshit!

it's mind altering to think that people in some countries watch this stuff on tv and do take it seriously.

scary on a grand scale.

ps: on the response to that video, another jewel, the American Indians spoke Arabic! who knew? ...

3. Get out of here, atheists!

Comment #156375 by tieInterceptor on April 7, 2008 at 12:24 pm

outrageous,

and since when religion is about defending the kids, and Atheism is about destroying... what a nutjob

4. Vote on freedom of expression marks the end of Universal Human Rights

Comment #153765 by tieInterceptor on April 2, 2008 at 2:47 am

this is sad, and an outrage.

We got to do something, freedom of expression is the only thing that it's stoping me from burning Embassies in return.

If the new "freedom of expression" only counts if people do not get violent... then we better start burning stuff, so they will not be able to freely express their racism misogyny and hate of individual freedom that is the cult of Islam.

5. Anti-Quran Film Fitna Pulled From Web Due to 'Threats'

Comment #152453 by tieInterceptor on March 31, 2008 at 4:35 am

Comment #152287 by gyokusai on March 30, 2008 at 3:53 pm

"Behead those who say Islam is violent!"

That pic was a spoof.

27. Comment #152326 by Enlightenme.. on March 30, 2008 at 5:29 pm
It was not - I downloaded all the placard templates from the MCB website at the time, including that one, I still have them on my hard drive
.


yes IT WAS a spoof, sadly ;) the real placard says, Behead those who insult islam... someone photoshoped it

image name image name


bad photshop work, to make it deliciously ironical,
then again the real placard is bad enough.

you can tell its photshop due to the copy and paste with the clone tool of different letters from the original message.

check letters like "v" and "y" look hand painted with pohtoshop brush... the "S" is clearly the same 3 times.

TRUTH, more important than lies... (this does not change the fact that Fitna is stating facts etc etc etc...)

6. In His Name We Pray, Ramen

Comment #151783 by tieInterceptor on March 29, 2008 at 11:23 am

the escapist.com is also home to "zero punctuation", totally unrelated to religion but deadly funny,

8. The Great Tantra Challenge

60. Comment #144858 by MelM on March 16, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Edit: Atheism needs a good cartoonist.


not sure why you ask, but we do have a good cartoonist,

check Jesus and Mo, it's the best.

10. I don't believe in atheists

Comment #144141 by tieInterceptor on March 15, 2008 at 7:43 am

wasn't going to comment, but anyway, read this yesterday, but this stuck to my mind,

Well, she's speaking out of her personal experience, and it was better for her. I mean, look, I covered conflicts in Africa, in the
Middle East, and in Central America, where Western society rained nothing but death and destruction on tens of thousands of people, which is of course what we're doing in Iraq. So, is Western society -- American society -- better for Iraqis?


this made me mad while reading it... also took away any credibility this guy had, how can he say that raining bombs in a conflict (legal or not) is what western society is??


[BJ pantomime] seriously, what a giant straw man. [/BJ pantomime]

11. Richard Dawkins on The Alan Colmes Show

Comment #144122 by tieInterceptor on March 15, 2008 at 6:25 am

very nice interview,

Dawkins did an excellent job, lol'ed at the BS answer ;-) I wonder if loosing patience a bit can play in his favour, to some listeners a tad of spirited answers, a la Hitchens stile, could make them more curious about checking out the TGD.

I agree with skydancephil, I think we should print and then waterproof (like a war map) a set of answers to the most common BS arguments so Dawkins and others can be quick and deadly if the need to.

statistic about education=atheism ratio, pointing out Sweden when referring that there is no need of religion for a moral society, ... in resume, we should repeat our arguments as much as they do. Every time we hear "there is no transitional fossils" "macro vs micro" etc... we should have clear, bite size answers (as much as possible) until those creationist argument loose appeal and they have to come up with something new.

ps: the old lady pulling the "extremely offensive card" with wrinkled nose like smelling a fart ( I can see her if I close my eyes)
... want to slap her hard, so much

12. Beauty ad banned after Christian outcry

Comment #142518 by tieInterceptor on March 12, 2008 at 3:38 pm

we should start a group or mail list so we can organize complaints, we only need a few dozen by the looks of it...

works for the Christians on tv, and works for the Muslims to get videos out of youtube... we should just apply that technique too.

apparently if you don't cry, you don't suckle

(this Spanish saying translates a bit weird)

13. My Argument With God

Comment #132056 by tieInterceptor on February 24, 2008 at 4:06 am

I'm a big fan of Gervais, the fact that he is an atheist its just and added bonus, specially his sketches about religion in his comedy tours.

Humour is the way to defeat unquestioned faith.

14. Moral thinking

Comment #131275 by tieInterceptor on February 22, 2008 at 6:58 am

I liked this article, very interesting and somehow fits with what I already imagined,

"Dr Wilson suspects that the liberal package of individualism and confrontation is the appropriate response to survival in a stable environment in which there is leisure for learning and reflection, and the consequences for a group's stability of such dissent are low. The conservative package of collectivism and conformity, by contrast, works in an unstable environment where joint action, and thus obedience to their group, are at a premium."

the smug feeling I got after reading the line, collectivism and conformity with no dissent was nice, I got this "I knew it!" moment.

the Economist is always a good read,

18. Murder plot against Danish cartoonist

Comment #126064 by tieInterceptor on February 12, 2008 at 12:38 pm

the Spanish newspaper "La Vanguardia" has the cartoon on their front page on the web, I do not know if they actually printed it. Buts still its a good thing.

its very small thought, but its there.

19. Why multiculturalism must be abandoned

Comment #125144 by tieInterceptor on February 11, 2008 at 2:52 am

this article is really good, he* makes a lot of sense.

(*fixed)

to anyone who hasn't seen the Uk divorce: sharia stile documentary mentioned in this article, it's totally worth it.

http://uk.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=97CD3BD1948BE551

This World: Inside a Shari'ah Court a female muslim uk reporter in nigeria's sharia courts. Interesting.

http://uk.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A07C626899D1E6D4

Dispatches: Undercover Mosque Very good one, and the Imam that appears on Divorce sharia stile is one of the radical ones portrayed. He looks ok'ish as a sharia judge, then he talks vitriol on the pulpit on the mosque, who would have known?

http://uk.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B61DDD1701F98467

Unreported World: Egypt's Rubbish People This one is quite sad. I'veen to Cairo and never knew this existed.

21. Conservative Rabbis to Vote on Resolution Criticizing Pope's Revision of Prayer

Comment #124804 by tieInterceptor on February 10, 2008 at 9:54 am

... I would pay to see him try the same with the muslim, that would be fun to watch on the news.

...would be fun, if it wasn't for the many that would die on riots and the inevitable burning of embassies... that makes me wonder, I don't think the Vatican has embassies do they?

22. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #124198 by tieInterceptor on February 8, 2008 at 5:56 pm

I watched this documentary today, its quite good and informative.

This World: Inside a Shari'ah Court

Documentary by award-winning filmmaker Ruhi Hamid. Some British Muslims want Shari'ah law implemented in the UK. Already practiced informally here to resolve Islamic divorce, inheritance and family disputes, it is seen by many in the West as oppressive and brutal, with punishments like stoning and amputations. Ruhi Hamid, a British Muslim, travels to Nigeria to see Shari'ah law in action, and asks whether it could work alongside the UK's existing legal system.


http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A07C626899D1E6D4

the answer is no, it won't work... but the court cases in Nigeria under sharia look more like judge Judi on tv, than what they have going on Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.

Still, worth watching for sure.

23. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #123732 by tieInterceptor on February 7, 2008 at 3:01 pm

amazing, the comments sections in every newspaper have exploded with a bright ball of powerful indignation.

Good to see that not everyone has lost its mind :)

24. The New Atheist Movement

Comment #123343 by tieInterceptor on February 7, 2008 at 2:21 am

on a tangent, when I saw the article on the front page:

The New Atheist Movement | Anonymous


I totally expected another video with clouds moving fast and a Stephen Hawkins voice going we are anonymous, we are legion, expect us


... ;)

25. Female Muslim medics 'disobey hygiene rules'

Comment #121442 by tieInterceptor on February 3, 2008 at 12:07 pm

another example of why religion should be a private matter for consenting adults and at home only.

26. God the psycho

Comment #121363 by tieInterceptor on February 3, 2008 at 9:47 am

Another good Pat Condell video,

he is getting really high views counts on every single video now, it's also on the top 20 most viewed humorists I think ,

not a bad platform for common sense and godless humour you tube,

still, sometimes it looks like they are doing something strange with the view counts... dodgy censorship I think.

27. Richard Dawkins on The Big Debate

Comment #119089 by tieInterceptor on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 am

this kinds of debates are so tiresome,

the girl said it clear at the end, the law democratically changed to allow gays and abortions, and you have a school who teaches against what society has voted.

then the rotund woman on the seat responded some kind of tiresome blah about "we have the right to our own point of view"... what the? we are talking about schools teaching children against what the law says, not your individual "as a person" right to think what you want.. seriously... schools are not equal to people, they are not corporations yet.

And congrats to Richard for pressing the Muslim to say that Sharia demands death for apostasy.

Is it me or the Muslims on this debates have a tendency to snigger, like they find all of this civilised discourse such an easy target, they know that when its the time, all of this will be over,

just like the emperor palpatine before dismantling the senate ...

29. Sentenced to death: Afghan who dared to read about women's rights

Comment #118786 by tieInterceptor on January 31, 2008 at 1:32 am

religion poisons everything,

but Islam does it different, first it beats the hell out of you with sticks, then it poisons you with domestos straight to your neck.

30. New atheists or new anti-dogmatists?

Comment #117109 by tieInterceptor on January 28, 2008 at 9:24 am

excelent article, it hits the nail in the head.

Dogmatic opinions are a fowl monster, and religions are the nasty parasites that grown around popular dogmatic ideas. Like a symbiotic life form that depends on the delicious scraps that fall of the dogmatic idea jaws, and they will do everything on their power to keep that beautiful mountain of nonsense alive and healthy, their very own lives depend on it.

31. Interview with Richard Dawkins

Comment #117011 by tieInterceptor on January 28, 2008 at 3:40 am

very nice interview, I love how the Christian fundamentalist got his face bitch slapped by Richard.

Anyone listening (that hasn't made up his mind) could see that the theist was an arrogant retard.

Well done, and in my opinion calling him naive is ok, he totally deserved it. We need to slap them back to their place, this super-reverent attitude towards uneducated buffoons has to stop, if not look where it ends.

I would like to see that theist going to the doctors and trying to argue his way out of chemotherapy, because he believes in crystal healing out of a book he reads on his spare time.

Same way of thinking, but when is cancer somehow they do appreciate the knowledge of the specialist... odd isn't it?

32. Mixing Mammals

Comment #115304 by tieInterceptor on January 24, 2008 at 1:21 am

As soon as possible they should try to do this with a pig,

flying pigs would make for excelent pets. And scare the hell out of the Taliban.

33. Islam in Europe

Comment #114962 by tieInterceptor on January 23, 2008 at 9:43 am

19. Comment #114611 by LBraschi:
With islam, it is different. Most muslims feel themselves as muslim first, and french/german/whatever a distant second (if at all). Not only that, they would like to impose their views on the rest of us.


I agree, and it's a hard fix, that's for sure,

I keep reminding my wife that her "muslim" girlfriends from the office, who drink alcohol, do not pray and do not wear the hijab, they are not really Muslim by action and also happen to have a country of origin, No need to refer to them as Muslims, call them Mauritian or Egyptian, like everyone else does does in this planet,

34. The God Delusion: Now Available in US Paperback

Comment #113229 by tieInterceptor on January 19, 2008 at 3:34 am

Niiiice,

this version looks really flashy, maybe I should buy the book again... like a dvd special edition ;)

36. Did mozzies, not a meteor, do for the dinosaurs?

Comment #108998 by tieInterceptor on January 8, 2008 at 6:09 am


I'm disappointed. When I read the title I thought this was going to be about prehistoric muslims.


mmm, I thought along the same lines ... I must be obsessing too much lately

37. Al Qaeda: We're open to questions

Comment #101308 by tieInterceptor on December 20, 2007 at 8:01 am

dicanau is good that USA_limey quoted you , because it was funny.


al-rawandi... when a certified doctor burns himself to death when trying to blow up his car, and has to be manhandled to the floor by the police to extinguish his flaming body, while shouting "Alahu akbar" without stopping to breath in...

then, I think you can safely say that he was working hard on his 72 virgins in paradise.

38. Jesus ad angers church groups

Comment #100611 by tieInterceptor on December 19, 2007 at 1:48 am

line of thought: ...the Muslims can get upset due to a teddy, god must think we are pansies, we MUST be hysterical too!

39. Do the laws of God trump those of man?

Comment #99563 by tieInterceptor on December 17, 2007 at 4:16 am

hey wooter, I just visited your "Other Comments by wooter" and I believe you are either a troll, or just a lazy ID aficionado.

your claim that "how come there is a glass in my hand without a glass maker" a nice variation on the Kirk Cameron painting painter, an "evolution" on the watch/watchmaker analogy,

sounds like you reeeealllllly need to watch this video.

the origin of life made easy, link


after visit this link , a play list of all the other videos of the "science made easy" collection you MUST watch before talking more nonsense.


Science made easy PLAY LIST link

once you watched the 7 of them, you can ask any unanswered questions here ;)

until then... please spare us the tired old bull

found this line on the comments section under the video, :)

I bought a Teddy Bear today for a tenner. I named it Mohammed, then sold it for twenty quid.
My question is "Have I made a prophet?"

42. The Pagan Christ

Comment #94924 by tieInterceptor on December 7, 2007 at 2:27 am

Christianity is a rehash of astrology/Egyptian myths... sounds very much like the first 1/3 of "Zeitgeist the movie"

interesting... link to the Zeitgeist film if anyone wants to check it out.

43. Interview with Christopher Hitchens

Comment #93896 by tieInterceptor on December 4, 2007 at 12:22 pm

Nice interview, very nice indeed, they should all be like this. Polite but definitely clear.

Hitchens owns as usual.

44. Daniel Dennett Debates Dinesh D'Souza

Comment #93082 by tieInterceptor on December 2, 2007 at 6:40 am


Lagomort on December 1, OK, Dennet sucked.

I am sick of people that think they do not need to take the time to consider the arguments before time and work out quick responses for the debate. Dennet's "ums" and, "That is just that ol' argument" type of responses just made him look like an ass...



I agree somehow, Denet is nice, but the lack of short and clear responses to some of the most retarded statements that D'Souza was shouting, bothered me. I was longing for some of the old Hitchens quick answers... and personally I know by now lots short answers just by watching and reading articles in this site.

to an audience who does not know as much as most of us do here, it would seem that Denet was rambling, and lots of mmmh and ahhhs, ...

Denet is great when he does a presentation, but not so much when answering on the fly.

kinda missed a bit the chance there.

45. Interview with Richard Dawkins

Comment #92888 by tieInterceptor on December 1, 2007 at 4:53 pm

good interview,

I would have added, on the question of morality and the bible, the answer from Hitchens. That obviously before the 10 commandments, the world already knew well enough that killing and stealing was bad. the Greeks for example.

That answer to me is more satisfying.

46. Sudan demo over jailed UK teacher

Comment #92434 by tieInterceptor on November 30, 2007 at 1:43 pm

When I just read the headline, " Sudan demo over jailed UK teacher", I thought that it was good. Some Sudanese realize how insane her imprisonment is and are demonstrating. Then I read the first line... "


the exact same thing happened to me, I just read the title before leaving work, and until now I did not get it. The level of nuttery of Islamic people still manages to surprise me from time to time.

48. Why debate dogma?

Comment #91940 by tieInterceptor on November 29, 2007 at 3:27 pm

Pat for president! :)

maybe we should burn Sudans embassy in London for the scandal of the teddy bear 15 days prison sentence.

just kidding,

but I wonder what they would say in the middle east if we torched it.

49. In the name of God: the Saudi rape victim's tale

Comment #91700 by tieInterceptor on November 29, 2007 at 2:10 am

lost for words, If this is what theocracy and Islam has to offer then...

In my opinion those who says that Saudi Arabia is not "really" proper Islam, I would tell them that by extension then Russia and Cuba are not "really" communist since they do not follow the letter of the manifesto, but IN THE REAL WORLD, what reads on the book is meaningless, what's important is how it turns out when put into practice.

not that what reads in the Quran is not barbaric anyway.

50. Dutch lawmaker planning film criticizing the Quran

Comment #91681 by tieInterceptor on November 29, 2007 at 1:11 am

we need more movies like this, about time politicians got some guts.
