*Skims*

Ah, that explains it.

Whenever I see a dead thread suddenly rise from the ashes, and fill the top 20 new posts list, I can usually tell it's some creationist moron stirring the shit up.

Love how these religious idiots get to use the technology of the 21st century to spew their bullshit.

If religion had had its way, there'd be no fucking internet.
Alan Turing, one of the founding fathers of computing was a big ol' whoopsie.
In another era, he would've been frigging executed.

Doncha just fucking love that?
How secular progress had to struggle against fucking religion every step of the way, yet when that progress is made, the religiots have no problem using our roads, and computers, and medicine, etc, etc.
Baffling shit.
Truly.

SharonMcT-


Ben Stein and his ilk have them right where they want them - dumb and shopping their meager paycheques away at walmart.

He doesn't want them educated properly. It's all about the money. As long as it keeps flowing from the poor to the rich, the leaders of the ID movement will be happy. And these poor undereducated people seem to prefer it that way as well.

epeeist/Geoff-

Ah, but Jesus supposedly ascended bodily to Heaven, and now currently sits at God's right hand.

That would put the cosmic multilingual vampire Jesus in the perfect position to bite God!!

The Babelfish blood would weaken God enough for the vampire blood to take effect, the vampire blood would weaken/taint God enough for Satan to possess him, and since, as creationists argue, God is "outside of time", he could then go back in time, and this would perfectly explain the insanity of the Old Testament God!

Of course, this time around the time loop, Jesus would be throwing off the shackles of the wickedness of Babalfish/Vampire/Satan-possessed-God with his vicarious blood sacrifice.

A paradox you say??

God is outside of time!! Paradoxes bounce off him like bullets offa Superman!!

But not Babelfish bullets, those kill him.

As would a Babelfish condom.
So don't look to that as how he didn't kill Mary when fucking her.

Maybe he used Jor-El's red sun chamber.

So, how are y'all digging my "sophisticated theology"?

Persuaded yet?

Comment #163511 by Diacanu on April 18, 2008 at 12:46 pm

And that makes me think of a little theological puzzle for some christian apologist to tackle.

If a cross can kill Dracula, and a Babel Fish can kill God, can a Babelfish kill Dracula?

If not, why not?

And if not, can Dracula bite a Babelfish, and turn it into a vampire Babelfish?

And what happens if it bites a human?

And what would've happened if the resultant creature had bitten Jesus?

Oh, and my last post reminds me.

Has anyone read the rebuttals to "The Age Of Reason"?

I can't seem to find them at my local bookstore.

Oh, that's right, they were Thomas Paine fleas, and died forgotten, as history's losers.

Comment #163497 by Diacanu on April 18, 2008 at 12:23 pm

Oh, I forgot the fourth option.

That these flea books will convert atheists into christians in droves.

*Roars with laughter*

Puh-lease!

Their only hope there, is fence sitters who were won over by the God Delusion, but are still weak minded enough to be won back.
But, anyone with any sort of brain who's read TGD wouldn't be won back by their shitty arguments, because clearly either none of these authors have read the book, or they read it with blinders on, and ignored vast swaths of it.

So, who is/are the market for these books?
Clearly, people who haven't read TGD in the first place.
Much like the authors.

Probably white haired old grannies buying them for a grandchild to try to nip rebellion in the bud.
"Saving their souls", y'know.

Course, as any kid will tell you, books are a sucky present.
Kids want fucking TOYS, man!
An X-Box game, or a new kind of super-soaker!

Shit, they'll probably hose their flea book with the super-soaker!

And good for them!

A shame that all those nickels will trickle into the pockets of flea authors though.

And this goes out to everyone who came/comes here from the "Expelled", site.

You have all been duped by the worst and lowliest sort of carnival barkers out there.

By trolling this place, you are doing the work of, and thus being exploited by, sheisters and shmendricks.

If/when you ever snap to reality, and realize this, you will first be agonizingly ashamed, and then righteously pissed off.

When you get to that state, we'll be roughly on the same page, and then we can properly converse.

I didn't say that the unaswered questions made me say God did it. I just said that it made me start investigating on my own


And your "investigations", ended with "Goddidit".
Despite there being no positive evidence for God's existence.

Comment #163454 by Diacanu on April 18, 2008 at 11:20 am


Will Richard Dawkins' atheism grip millions â€" fade â€" or stir lingering doubts?


Will it fade??

Well, only if all of us suddenly turned into christians somehow.
That's not gonna fucking happen.

OR, if we all "got bored with the fad", and shut the fuck up.
Well, that's not going to fucking happen either.
Atheism ain't like a trendy diet, or a style of dress.
You either think there's a God, or you don't.
And once you know there isn't, and you find yourself surrounded by those who not only do, but want to fuck up your society over the proposition, well, it becomes rather impossible to shut the fuck up about it.
So, keep dreaming about that one, religites.

Option three, is if we all fucking DIED.
Well, go ahead and try, assholes.
I'm sure another genocide will look good on religion's resume.
Religion would be committing mass suicide as everyone got fed up once and for all.
Go ahead and try that one, fuckers.

I was like you,


Oh, and this may seem a minor point to niggle on, but I've heard it often enough it's started to grate at me.

Would you so-called ex-atheists please stop spouting this catchphrase?

You were NEVER like me.

Trust me.

If you were like me, you'd be an atheist and stay one.

I could give my life story to hammer home point by point why someone like you has nothing in common with me, but it boils down to I want to know the truth even if that truth burns, even if it roasted my fucking hand right the fuck off.
I despise lies that badly.
I'll take a red hot poker in my palm over a security blanket.
That seperates people like me from people like you by motherfucking light years.

Like me?
You fucking wish.
You fucking wish.
You fucking, fucking, WISH.
If one of my thoughts floated into your weak little head for but a minute, it'd KILL you!
My smallest thought would splatter your tiny mind onto the nearest wall.
Like me?
Keep dreaming.
Keep fucking dreaming.

Spare me the meaningless cliches.
Oh, that's right, that's all religion has anymore.

cordura5-


It raised too many unanswered questions about Darwin's theory


So to you, the very presence of unanswered questions requires one to plug the gaps with "Goddidit!!"?

Explain the logic of that one, would you?

If you were alone in your house, and you left the room, and then came back, and a picture had fallen off the wall, or a vase were tipped over, would you jump right to "Goddidit!!"?

If not, why not?

Try applying that answer to the creation of the universe problem.

Politics.

It's another gap to stuff God/Jesus into with a plunger.

How do you know they threw their lives away, even if it was a lie? What if pursuing that lie that they believed in made their lives more fulfilled?


Well then, if reality is up for grabs, than surely any lie will do?

Egomaniac-


where is the meaning in your existence?


Why do religionists think they're owed one?

Make your own damned meaning.
Write a book, paint a painting, have some kids, do some volunteer work, invent a gadget, bake some pies.

How horrible it would be if our meaning were all the same, and came down from on high.
What slavery.
What indignity.
Yet people beg for this very thing.
How morbid.

Comment #162498 by Diacanu on April 17, 2008 at 3:11 am

Egomaniac-


Whether it is so or isn't so (which nobody can know for certain), it gives meaning to people's existences nonetheless.


If it is not so, then those people threw their lives away on a lie.

Quite the opposite of meaning, IMHO.

I'd rather seek the truth, than wrap myself in the security blanket of easy answers.

872. Lying for Jesus?

Comment #162485 by Diacanu on April 17, 2008 at 2:54 am

Egomaniac-


The notion of a continued existence after death, along with the idea that the manner in which one's life has been lived will influence the level of quality of said existence adds meaning to many people's lives.

The idea that people will be reunited with loved ones who have passed on adds great meaning to people's lives.


Lovely bits of wish thinking, but wishing doesn't make them so.

Screw conspiracy theories, I'm taking his FCOS posts at face value.

He's just an emotionally unstable dude.
I hope he feels better someday, and puts away the religious smack needle.

But for now, I advise everyone to deprive him of the chaos he wants.

bringingithome4u-


Are both avenues of scientific thought treated equally in discourse...


Intelligent design isn't even an avenue of science.

It's merely a twisting of existing evidence to support the christian creation story, nothing more.

It has no evidence, and it has no predictive power.
ID proponants have no ID experiments one can perform.

If you'll dig through this thread, you'll see experts in evolution have already more thorougly dismantled ID better than I ever could.

So, this whole victim tack ID is trying to play is just politics.

It's akin to flat-earthers claiming foul against the big mean round-earth establishmnet.

So no, there is no "conspiracy", anymore than gravity is a "conspiracy", to not let crackpots with anti-gravity potions get a look into the classroom.

It's a total bunk position.

This Dawkins-as-atheist-pope shit is getting fucking tedious.
It's one of those memes that doesn't want to die.

The religiot mind can't fathom respecting someone, and not in turn worshipping them.

Well, that, and the religiot mind is also accustomed to picking a lie, and saying it often enough it becomes truth to them, and everyone as stupid as them.
You get a lot of that shit on FoxNews too.

Anyway, Richard's a nice guy, I really dug TGD, I dug/dig his youtube videos, that's what lured me here, to find more of them, and I dig the community here, that's why I stayed.

But, I don't worship the guy, and hell, I'm not even a full blown fanny-fan.
The only book of his I have is TGD.
If I were a Dawkins junkie, you'd think I'd have his whole canon, and would've devoured it all by now.

The moment he starts issuing pope-like edicts, or advocates for the sort of eugenic trash christians keep accusing atheism of leading to, you can damn well bet I'd oppose him.
Safe to say, I think all of us would.
But, the probability of the situation coming up is vanishingly small.

Anyway, I use this place for the board.
Everywhere else I've tried is full of fuckin' idiots.
Heh, the women are great too.
All cuties, and best of all, anti-bimbos, every single one.
No bimbos post here.
That alone makes this place a fucking oasis.
No neo-cons, no biblethumpers, no bimbos.
And no leaders.

..how I began to change, from the inside-out,


That feeling like you're one with the universe, and you can almost feel the rumbling of the planets rotating and revolving as you stare up into the stars and the moon, and that you're the fragment of this cosmic consciousness, and elevated above normal reality?

I've felt it before.

The summer I went from almost total mental vegetable, to reading "The Age Of Reason", the Dune sextology, "Slaughterhouse Five" "Watchmen", and perpetually listened to "St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", and "OK Computer".

It's brain chemicals, man.

MaxD-


But I don't think much of the concept of purity as the religious often understand it.


Nor do I.

It's a concept that's poisoned human thought and discourse for millenia.

The only way one could reasonably achieve the religious concept of "purity", is to be broken down into a beam of light, and projected into a prism polished atom-perfect with a powerful electron beam.

Well, fuck that, morality is for people, not prisms.

Trying to echieve that is how we got all this loathing for the flesh, loathing of sex, flagellents, puritans, suicide bombers, the whole fucking mess.

Aspiring to the transcendant at the expense of bodily and/or emotional health is nothing less than lunacy.
And given that there's no such thing as spirits to begin with, it's ONLY at the expense of emotional health.

No, "purity", is right up there with Hell for my least favorite religious notions.

No one's dragging you behind a truck, or hanging you from an oak tree.
And as for the implications of "bigotry", religion isn't like skin color or ethnicity, it's a conscious choice you make as an adult.
Either to convert, or to keep the superstitions of your parents into adulthood.
If we can't go after people's beliefs, then let's stop having political debates then.
