Do beach umbrellas kill millions? How Google perpetuates a legend

My questions were:…[Read more]

Yeah Enco,

My kneejerk reaction to the threat of Christian Nationalism is grounded in the notion that our history as a nation has enough in the virtues of democracy and limitation of powers that resistance to Christianity as a governing power, the power, would not get too far. But hell who the fuck knows. I am the one who keeps saying people are…[Read more]

How to refute an antivaxxer.

This is science writing done right! It points out in precise and plain language, the benefits of vaccine and how many lives it has saved and that the risks of vaccine are no greater than the risks of living.

The only thing that disappointed me was that someone sat on this for a year before I and…[Read more]

If you use your imagination and project the worst how will Christian Nationalism play out in USA or anywhere in the west? Any chance it will approach the worst of Islamic Nationalism? Lets take the Islamic Republic of Iran as a model. Anyone think USA or any western nation might degenerate to the point where its comparable in its…

So the Christian Nationalism get-together had a publisher of Nazi lit. Ok and it was a bit too extreme for some of the attendants. Not clear how well those books sold as the few references seemed contradictory.

Arab/Muslim nations love them some Protocols of the Elders of Zion and i believe Mein Kampf as well. The indoctrination of lets say…[Read more]

Fantastic essay! Bill Maher summed it up by pointing out that if The Bible was really anti-slavery, slavery would have been mentioned in The Top Ten.

From “the Necessity of Atheism” by DR. D. M. BROOKS, 1933

The Christian Church has had the audacity, in modern times, to proclaim

that it had abolished slavery and the slave trade. It is difficult to

understand how any “righteous” man could make that contention

remembering that it was not until the middle of the nineteenth century

that…[Read more]

The pressure on the Church of England to ditch its slavery reparations plan.

If someone in the Church of England today held someone as a slave or profits from the slavery that still take place in Saharan Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Red China, this would be a legitimate concern.

Otherwise, don’t be surprised if this is…[Read more]

Happy Summer Solstice too! This is near to where I live. Older than the pyramids of Egypt!

Thanks, Reg!!!

Have a great week!!

The two most amazing non-match, non-lighter methods are the modern Magnesium Fire Starter Block and the ancient Asian Fire Piston.

Fire Piston

Either one still functions if wet and the Magnesium Block produces a 5000°F spark, though it still needs dry tinder. But the Fire Piston actually both…[Read more]

Send them back. Send them back. Send them back!

World is going crazy and as per usual jew hate is rampant and escalating. The lefty ideology seeping into greater western culture resulted in an explosion of immigration. Well they’re mostly Muslims so the raping, crime, lower employment rates has inevitably and with an ineluctable elucidation…[Read more]

It’s always dicey on these reality survival shows the contestants trying to make fire. I would have no clue without matches or a lighter.

Keeping the fire going might have been the beginning of religion.

Jake:

Our predecessors were smarter than most of us today about what can create fire.

Without human assistance, fire can come from lightning strikes, volcanic lava, and the right rocks and crystals striking just perfectly from an avalanche. Even a drop of water that refracts visible sunlight into a rainbow can also focus sunlight to a point…[Read more]

Just read about some archeological discovery that pushed back our ancestor’s use of fire to 1.8 million years.

Ya think they were as stupid as Trump lovers?

Fellow Unbelievers:

Someone sadly never told Trump that this not a desireable aspiration to have:

Enco,

I think among Israelis there is probably a strong majority who see it that way. Being dependent on the Americans is a mistake. Political winds change as in democrats are in office and the lefty demonization of Israel leaves Israel high and dry. And i don’t think it will make much difference in terms of the next political faction in Israel…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Isreal shouldn’t feel singled-out though. Americans, too are dressed down and Patronized by Junkyard Dog Vance who tells us to “Have a little faith” in Donald “Healing Hands” Jebus!

Fellow Unbelievers:

You know, Israel might be better off without military aid from the U.S. and many wise Israelis have said so as well.

Not only would they have the flexibility to get their arms from many sources instead of just U.S. suppliers (as is required by conditions of U.S. aid), but Israel wouldn’t have to put up with getting dressed…[Read more]
