Conspiracy and Lunacy

Posted by omicron1 on April 12, 2007, 5:26 p.m.

Amusing anti-Conspiracy/Lunacy blog

The above blog is written by a person with a head on his shoulders, unlike some recent people posting "stupid dubya" images. Find me a moron who can fly a combat fighter at mach 2, why don't you - I'll eat my hat and send you a picture. There's a lot of good stuff in that blog, and every bit of it is worth a read.

Then you come along and you see this trash Oh, sure - insult us. That worked fine with George W. Bush, didn't it? "Let's just keep insulting everybody we don't believe, and see if they shut up."

Things like that site make me cringe inside when I see them. Maybe I have some sick fascination with seeing hypocrites at work… but I digress. Let's dissect a few of these rude images, shall we?

Ok, so they're calling US narrow-minded. "I'm tolerant! I'm so tolerant I want everybody else to be tolerant, and am intolerant of those who aren't tolerant." Circular reasoning, brother. It would make a CPU lock up, yet you somehow keep working - oh, wait. You're somewhat locked up anyway.

The day I see hate in the church is the day I'll eat my shoes (and send you the laces). I hate to break it to ya, but it's not US who are hating. It's the muslim extremists whom YOU are trying to defend. But again, people like to lump all religion in with the real evil, and not give a lead penny who's actually in the wrong.

Darwin didn't think so, and anyone who seriously believes such stuff today needs to have their head examined. Let's not talk about the trees stuck headfirst through several different layers simultaneously (Maybe they burrowed in? Or maybe they just stood upside down on their thin points for millenia while the rock built up around them) or the fact that you actually don't have a SINGLE "missing link" fossil, and every single one you people have come up with has turned out to be a HOAX… let's just claim that we're right and try to get away with it, shall we?

Homosexuality is about like declaring that floppies are meant to work in CD drives - or that connecting two monitors should work as well as connecting a computer and a monitor. Sure, you can stuff the square into the circular hole (if it's large enough) but you won't get a thing out of it besides a rather useless gray decorative box. And if your monitors don't short out when you apply power, you'll never see an image anyway. But if you do the thing right, and plug in the monitor to the computer, you suddenly see a beautiful image. How extraordinary.

In sum, that site is a bunch of ludicrous JUNK with no value beyond shock value. End of story.

Oh, and remember to vote for me and Lions of the Atlantic here.

(Yes, I'm going to keep posting this in every blog up until the due date.)

I am not posting anything here after this post. Reply if you want; I'm not answering. This debate has degraded into a comedy of errors, and I for one can't see the point of continuing.

1. "I'm very sure there will be a point when we can simulate reality, ala The Matrix, in a computer. Moore's law supports this." So you say that it is possible for a computer to simulate the universe? That would require more atoms in the computer than there are in the universe - or a really, really small universe to simulate. Eventually, this theory completely breaks down.

2. "A lazy mind is not nessecaraly a stupid one. It is one that does not always think for its self. It is one that had it's morals from just being human, instead of being told them. It is one that forms its own views and beliefs and does not always conform to what somebody or something else says." - you switched perspective mid-paragraph - starting by describing a "lazy mind," and ending by describing a "free-thinking mind." Let me demonstrate by appending the first and last sentences:

"A lazy mind is not nessecaraly a stupid one. It is one that forms its own views and beliefs and does not always conform to what somebody or something else says."

3. "It's just that you all give your donations to the church, while the pastors take from them and live off of them instead of getting a real job. It's like a charity taking some of the money as their wages. I just wouldn't like donating money to a cause for some scrounger to live off of it." We support and pay our pastor's salary for the same reason that people pay the salary of a college professor. He's teaching us things on his time and budget; we support him and his livelihood in that. He is not a "scrounger" any more than your last math teacher was.

4. "it therefore would be very silly for anybody to believe in any one of them without proof or at least evidence. " - So what do you believe? …do you even know? Or do you just have faith that someday someone will find the answer? Pretty pathetic, if you ask me.

Well done for spotting a potential floor in a theory, you are on your way to becoming a scientist! Now start applying that to religion and we're done! Though I'm honestly not sure if you are correct.

You're right, I don't know what I was smoking when I wrote that.

Well I just presumed that the donations were an act of charity, for the up keeping of the church, and that the pastor was a volunteer who does it in his spare time. Not that you were paying him a fee for his services, so that means the church is a business?

I don't really care even if we never find out the answer. I'm here for the ride anyway.

Religion is a personal subject. The only person who can find the "answer" to my religious beliefs is me. The same applies to you and everyone else. We can discuss our beliefs and try to work out answers to big problems with each other (that's how progression of thought works) but at the end of the day, it's all down to one's self.
