701. The simple falsehood at the heart of Expelled

Comment #158489 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 3:45 pm

Goldy-

Sorry for taking that comment personally.
Got some issues I'm mostly over, but there's still a twinge now and then.

702. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #158479 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 3:21 pm

D.I. Ogenes-

Hmm, stupid skits, how Wooterish...

Comment #158475 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Goldy-


Mind you, have to admit that the less you have to offer, the smaller the choices you can make :-)


Hey, fuck you!!
:(

Allow me to make my position a little clearer.
When it comes to eugenics, I'm pretty much an anarchist.
Leave people the fuck alone.
And that goes all the way to subtle eugenics like diet pressures, and Madison Avenue shit.
Stop trying to bludgeon people into a cookie-cutter standard.

I don't put my hopes for humanity in the gene basket, I put it in the education basket.

That's where standards should apply, not genes.

The other way around, we become the very gene-puppets Dawkins warns against in "the selfish gene".

Goldy-


Anyway, not like we don't do it now...after all, we pick (mostly) our partners, don't we?


*Looks at the latest batch of sad misfits on Dr. Phil*
And such a good job we've done too.

Jiten-


Parents of course.


By what criteria?
Arbitrary beauty standards of our idiotic consumerist media culture?
That gonna be what you put your trust in?

707. The simple falsehood at the heart of Expelled

Comment #158458 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 2:46 pm

Jiten-


Eugenics after all is just Artificial Selection applied to humans.


Who does the selecting?

Everyone I've seen step up to be the one hasn't been anyone I'd trust with the job.

708. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #158456 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 2:43 pm

Oh, and Ayn Rand and C.S lewis are both laughable quacks.

If the only choices in the universe were between their respective philosophies, I'd fucking kill myself.

Good thing that's not the case.

709. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #158451 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 2:38 pm

Ooops, post 698 was addressed to D.I. Ogenes.
But, I see now it could just as easily apply to laphroaigman's drivel.

710. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #158449 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 2:28 pm

Piss off, troll.

Hitler-


...then the dark shroud of a new barbarian era would enfold the earth.


Lol!! And then they went on to perpetrate the worst barbarism of the 20th century!!

It doesn't even need to be said, but damn, the Nazis sucked.

Nah, their side relies on tricks and lies, we needn't.

Comment #158433 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 1:59 pm

Jiten-


Who would be harmed if we for example bred for higher intelligence in a baby by genetic manipulation(if we had the technology)?


The people rendered obsolete by the wave of superbabies.

And then, society at large, when as julesfkirby thoroughly pointed out, the law of unintended conequences comes into play.

Al-Rawandi-


Who has historically used a dual:



David Robertson
Wooter
and....



Yeah, you get it.


....I must have peanut butter in my mental gears today..I don't get it.
PM me with whatever the hell you're talking about.

Comment #158366 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 11:54 am

Dr. Benway-

Oh, he was Diogenes? I replied to him rather snarkily. Shit.
Well, that makes sense now, he added some drama-queenish stuff about never posting again in the post I answered.
If I'd known it was him at that very moment, I coulda maybe talked him down.
Dammit.
Why was he using a dual?
WTF?

Comment #158355 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 11:37 am

Paula's number 1 on the top 20 list!!!

Hooraayy Paula!!

...or, did I already miss the celebration of that milestone?

...and what exactly happened to Richard Morgan?
I seem to have missed that soap opera too.

718. Discussion between Richard Dawkins and Paula Kirby

Comment #158343 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 11:17 am

Well, I've watched up to part 4.
Good stuff. Paula's a cutey.

Used a relative's computer.
Can't believe my dumb ass didn't think of it last night.
Ah, well.

719. Reviews of Expelled

Comment #158309 by Diacanu on April 10, 2008 at 10:11 am

FightingFalcon-


I'm so sick and tired of hearing that Social Darwinism caused Adolf Hitler's racist beliefs.


And I'm equally sick of hearing Social Darwinism even mentioned, much less confused with Darwinism.

Social Darwinism is neither social, nor Darwinist.

It's artificial selection based on an arbitrary criteria.

720. Commentary: Democrats finally getting religion on religion

Comment #157869 by Diacanu on April 9, 2008 at 4:32 pm


And there are clear examples when folks who operate in the secular world want to apply their standards to those in the theological world,


Awww, poor widdwe things.

Don't like gays? Fine, but keep it to yourself.
Don't like abortion?
Don't have one.

How that standard stifles and supresses them, one can only guess.

721. German Church admits aiding Nazis

Comment #157855 by Diacanu on April 9, 2008 at 4:00 pm

Hmm, wonder if they sided with the Nazis cuz der juden embraced a philosophy that was dangerous for children to even know about...

*Shock silence*

Too on the nose? Or too soon?

Badly.

Ah, screw it, I'll just listen to the audio, and try to tune out the skipping video.

Tried that.
It hangs up every 3 seconds anyway.

I can access it, it just plays slow and skippy on this old shitbox computer.
Like, really bad skippy, like, a school filmstrip.
Unwatchable.

Comment #157689 by Diacanu on April 9, 2008 at 12:21 pm

*Sigh* I guess I'll just have to wait however long it takes to get a new job, and afford a new computer to see it.
:(

730. Anti-evolution bill clears another hurdle

Comment #157680 by Diacanu on April 9, 2008 at 12:08 pm

Oh, as if the south would have sat there across that border forever.
A bunch of war-happy little angry bees?
With the taste of victory in ther mouths after the first civil war?
We would've just had to've fought 'em again.
And I shudder to think of what this country would've been if they'd won round 2.
No, better that they were nipped in the bud, and broken.
Their ass still glistens from the spanking, and they still whine, and spew their lincoln-hate propaganda, and their lame "the south will rise again", fantasies, but better that, than the alternative, thanks.

Dammit, I'm on my old computer, and can't crack open any of those weird ass new-fangled formats!

Can someone rip it to Mpeg?

Comment #156988 by Diacanu on April 8, 2008 at 1:10 pm

Aaron9-


I did not ask why you "don't believe in a nasty bloodletting desert god from an ancient text written by sun-roasted lunatics"


May I assume you didn't ask, because it's self-evident that it's an ancient text written by sun-roasted lunatics?


I simply pointed out your athiest guru..


Who would this be?
I have no guru.
I have certain people I respect, and some of them happen to have written books, and one of them has a message board that I frequent for sharing ideas.

736. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #156925 by Diacanu on April 8, 2008 at 11:57 am

Aaron9-


Here is what I don't understand about many atheists I have examined...


How we don't believe in a nasty bloodletting desert god from an ancient text written by sun-roasted lunatics?

737. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #156917 by Diacanu on April 8, 2008 at 11:48 am

JSCintron-


I don't believe in any theory that strays away from ID.


Well, that's interesting.
If God set evolution in motion, it's funny that he chose the one process that makes it look like he's entirely unnecessary.

Keith-

If you have a critique to make about me, or my posting style, please take it up with me directly, thanks.

Comment #156488 by Diacanu on April 7, 2008 at 4:37 pm

mikejswalker-


You would not follow thru with the feelings of your post with a face to face situation if a religious paranoid schizophrenic was battering his own brains out.


I never intimated that I would, nor do I believe that I'd have to for my view to be consistant.

I merely said, fuck him if he does.
I'd prevent it if it were happening inches from me, but you can't keep a suicide watch on an ass like that 24/7.

Complete and utter bullshit


Back it up.

741. Get out of here, atheists!

Comment #156461 by Diacanu on April 7, 2008 at 3:31 pm

Chris Hitchens is right, the theocrats always have to bully.
Time they learned we're not going to take this shit anymore.

Comment #156457 by Diacanu on April 7, 2008 at 3:25 pm

...*crickets*...did I go too far to make that point?

I'm just saying, predictable doesn't necessarily equal incorrect or irrational.

I explained my reasoning.
I find it to be sound.
Feel free to poke holes in it if you wish.

Comment #156450 by Diacanu on April 7, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Diogenes2008-


I just expressed my difficulty with the spontaneous show of mockery and jeers, and its predictability.


Well, what sort of unpredictable response would you prefer?
That we thirst for his cock perhaps?
No thanks.

744. Get out of here, atheists!

Comment #156381 by Diacanu on April 7, 2008 at 12:35 pm

Clydey-


Who on earth does that woman think she is? For a black woman, who has doubtless been on the receiving end of similar discriminatory remarks, to use that platform to highlight her own prejudice is, frankly, almost criminal.


Well, notice how she tried to wrap herself in Lincoln, as if to say "Lincloln was (insert whatever good quality) therefore, you're the opposite of all that, and thus the intolerant one".

All her language was like that.
Painting him as the villain, so that being intolerant to him would be seen as tolerant.

But I agree with the poster who said it was probably all to cover up her money funneling.

745. Get out of here, atheists!

Comment #156360 by Diacanu on April 7, 2008 at 11:53 am


it's dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists!


Haven't listened to the audio yet, does the crowd start barking "heil, heil, heil!!!", after that gem?

Comment #156349 by Diacanu on April 7, 2008 at 11:23 am

mikejswalker-

Okay, since you saw fit to quote mine me, allow me to elaborate.

Fuck him!!

Okay?

Fuck him!!

These doomsday assholes are fucking people who've given the fuck up on life, see no future for humanity, and want us all to fucking burn.

And that includes fucking everybody.
Your family, mine, little kids, parakeets.
They want it all to go.

And on top of that, not content to just go off and fucking hang themselves in a garage, they have to build a little shitty ego tripping fucking cult around themselves, and manipulate people with fucking fear, and warp other minds into having their same fucking disease, adding to the very misery they loathe on this earth for their own sociopathic ego aggrandisement, and then to top all of that shit off, they wanna take their little cult to "paradise", with them.

Well, fuck him.
Let the moron bang himself with a fucking log.
Hateful dipshit.
I'm supposed a pity a motherfucker who tries to spread that kind of harm on the world?
Fuck him.
Fucking idjit.
Fuck all these doomsday cult motherfuckers.
Waco, Heaven's Gate, all of 'em.
Wish more of 'em would just do themselves, instead of hurting other people.
Fucking shitstains.

Sorry, I can't find it in me to ladle out the cream of human goodness to self absorbed destructive sociopaths.

Guess that makes me on awful person, eh?

Well, I happen to think it's perfectly fine to hate evil.
And I think stupidity in high enough quantities and concentration is evil.

Go ahead and judge me.

Like I give a fuck.

I go with the morality that helps me sleep at night.

I woudn't be able to do so if I gave people like this the same respect as my friends, cuz they're not, they're my enemies.
There, I said it.
The harmfully ignorant are my fucking enemies.
That's a line I've fucking drawn.
Sorry if it's not PC enough for you.

747. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #156090 by Diacanu on April 6, 2008 at 5:00 pm

Also, say I had a time machine, and plopped Einstein, Darwin, Hubble, Bohr, Heisenberg, etc back before any of the prophets came along, and they presented their facts, and got people to accept them, and THEN the scribblers of the Bible came along, do you think anyone would believe them?

I'm doubting it.
They'd be seen in the same light as L. Ron Hubbard.

And then what?
Would the angry desert God blow up the world in a tantrum?
Can you bring yourself to believe that?

748. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #156088 by Diacanu on April 6, 2008 at 4:53 pm

fstaheli-


I believe in God,


Why?
Because your parents taught you that stuff?
If you'd been dropped off as a toddler on a desert island do you think you'd believe it?

749. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #156064 by Diacanu on April 6, 2008 at 3:21 pm

Hmm...*thinks about it*...how in the heck could atheism have sects?

Atheist 1- The bible is a streaming pile of horseshit!!

Atheist 2- No, it's a GLISTENING pile of BULLshit!!!

Atheist 1- Fuck you too, Fu Manchu!!!

*A fistfight erupts*

Comment #156061 by Diacanu on April 6, 2008 at 3:10 pm


Peacebeaponme-
Diacanu asked you what his religious tenets were,


Indeed I did.
I notice how he outright avoided my second point too.

Don't think he could fathom it.

Someone who feels the need to be led by a big sky daddy, and his funny-costumed earthly representatives, would probably find themselves flailing in the abyss with an ant-like heirarchy structure torn away from them.
