@Strega, as always you are very welcome. Any break in the weather there?

@unapologetic – Point 3 – I always help xians by  correcting the chapter and verse notations when they start quoting scripture as some type of proof. I then explain the circular nature of their argument and say “If you are trying to prove the Bible is the word of your god by quoting it, then I will quote from Dracula to prove it also is”.

@Enco, Thanks, I blame cuts to the editing dept for not replying to emails asking them to explain what they actually do!!  Typo has been corrected.

Also, there is no historical evidence that Charles Darwin ever wrote, said, or implied that his goal was to “murder God.”

Re: Picking a fight. There is some good advice there, that I wish more xians would take.
2. Don’t assume that your atheist friends are secretly angry at God  (god is just a figurehead. we are angry with your religion.)
3. The Bible is …, but if you quote it to an atheist as an authority, it will be like your doctor explaining his diagnosis by…[Read more]

Reg,

Another Lair for Jesus writes a pee reviewed article.

You misspelled “LIAR for Jesus”. Jerry Bergman can only be a LAIR for Jesus if Jesus lives inside of him, if Jerry were the Jesus Cave housing the Jesus Computer and the Jesus-Mobile.

Yeah, this guy’s an idiot, though National Geographic evidently did get it wrong about the Big Bang…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!

The Swedish case that i had cited and Reg has Sunday’d is an illustration of the current controlling the dispensation of not justice but ideology. Assuming even a modicum of honesty in the reporter’s representation of the facts it is a revealing reflection of the contemporary lefty values. Once again enabling the ineffable horror of the Islamic…[Read more]

Have a great week folks!

Strega,

Thank you for mackwowledging me.

Agreed, humans are hierarchical. Other than Kung Bushman not aware of any culture that does not have a hierarchy. On the other hand the Kung Bushman exhibit that lovely evolutionary survival advantage-neuroplasticity. And it is what we need to harness in a better direction.

As for the others/nonmembers…[Read more]

Firstly, “Jake spake” is possibly the coolest signoff line I’ve seen 😎.

If you contemplate the cynical/skeptical apolitical or at least nonideological individuals v those with the most ardent beliefs it is the difference between a ticking time bomb and an inert gas.

The communist. The fundamentalist fill in the blank. The Nazi. The hate group member. The former Christians of centuries ago and a few today. The…[Read more]

Dumb as a rock?

Which large group is exempt?

Seeing the world that way engenders hatred and polarization. When will we as a species come to recognize that there is absolutely nobody home? That is true for vast majority of humans. Whichever way the current goes they go. Unless and until we recognize how easily manipulated we are and how central…[Read more]

Just came across this. So it is true that the Islamists/Qatar/lefty’s and their money have infiltrated US high schools. The nonphilosophical reactive part of me would love to send the proponents of Jew hatred/boot licking of Islam directly to Hamas or any hard core Islamic culture to let them FEEL what it is they are advocating and encouraging in…[Read more]

If Trump’s mission was sow chaos it is going great guns.

I just wonder whether the cultists who are about to be directly fucked by electing him will alter their viewpoints. Where are the social scientists? So many vines to pick grapes.

Jake,

And we need to awaken the unwoke woke. Thus i spoke. Thus spake those who intend to wake the comatose woke. Hocus pocus i can’t focus when i cant tell left from right in my locus.

Well sayeth-ed, Jake-athustra. I put it this way:

“Woke” is just Left-Wing Feelz.

“Based” is just Right-Wing Feelz.

What I want is to be is “Thought” which m…[Read more]

*the podcast i am recommending is the most recent. A Palestinian for peace with Israel.

Will anyone listen?

Hell no.

Goddamit Enco,

Don’t get me going about the lefty morons! When the UN and Amnesty and the rest of the ersatz human rights organizations are driven by ideology instead of human rights we get confirmation bias served hot and steaming. The lefty’s eat it up with relish. The people in need? Fuck em. Don’t let desperate need get in the way of a good…[Read more]
