Graceless: "Be careful

Graceless: "Be careful Cognostic. You have blasphemed the God of all for the last time in my presence. I fear for you for one day you will have to give account of this thread as it is brought to memory. Your mind is reprobate and Satan has captured you for himself. I pray to God that He forgives you. As for me, I am gone you wicked one."

If you think Cognostic has blasphemed, then I hope you come back one more time.

Tell your homosexual God the Father, God the Son, and God the Ghost to all go fuck themselves. Everything in heaven right now is male anyway, thus they are homosexuals. Must be some wild ass parties and orgies.

Wait ... did this individual

Wait ... did this individual just point us all at a video clip by KENT HOVIND???

For those who have been living under a rock for the past 15 years, Kent Hovind is a professional liar for doctrine, a charlatan and snake oil salesman, who spent 10 years in a Federal prison after being convicted of 58 offences, including but not limited to tax evasion,fraudulent transactions connected with his creationist propagandising, and the filing of false lawsuits against IRS and FBI agents. He spent much of his adult life peddling lies about science, several of these couched in language that would be considered an embarrassment in a kindergarten, and espousing a range of increasingly florid and ridiculous conspiracy theories as his sordid and venomous career progressed.

But, perhaps the act for which he should receive the greatest opprobrium, is his wilful endangerment of the lives of his own followers. This came about when he started promoting peach seeds as a purported "miracle cure" for cancer, HIV and a range of other diseases. There's just one problem with this, centring on the fact that peach seeds contain a compound known as amygdalin, which is a cyanogenic glycoside. Which means that it generates free cyanide ions when it enters the digestive system of mammals. Far from being a "miracle cure", amygdalin, if consumed in quantity, will lead to whoever is foolish enough to follow Hovind's advice, winding up in hospital being treated for cyanide poisoning. But even after he was repeatedly censured on this matter, he kept pushing this snake-oil bilge to his gullible followers for profit.

That's right - Hovind was prepared to take the risk of seeing his own followers die of cyanide poisoning for profit.

This is not a man that any sane individual would trust any further than he could be spat.

@Calilasseia: promoting peach

@Calilasseia: promoting peach seeds as a purported "miracle cure" for cancer

This is an old scam. A Czech "cancer expert" showed up in New Zealand in the late sixties touting apricot kernels as the cure. He was kicked out of New Zealand as a fraud and then spent time harming people in Queensland, Australia before being convicted of practicing medicine without a license in California. Maybe he and Hovind shared a cell somewhere.

Cancer patients are very vulnerable. People who exploit them like Hovind are the lowest of the low.

Oh look, it's another of

Oh look, it's another of those sad attempts at a "gotcha" by a supernaturalist who doesn't know what trap has actually been set, which is a trap that will actually ensnare the supernaturalist who set it. This is going to be good.

Prove love exists.

First of all love is an observable phenomenon, and as a corollary, the only evidence of its existence we need, are the requisite observations of the phenomenon in action. Second, there's a fairly substantial scientific literature devoted to the topic, including the fact that measurable changes in brain chemistry take place when people develop strong emotional attractions for each other. Which is in no small part due to a brain structure called the limbic system, which has been determined by relevant fMRI studies to be active in the emotional processing involved in such matters as parental bonding, and social bonding between individuals in a group. A part of the limbic system is the orbitofrontal cortex, which is implicated in several classes of decision making, and whose operation provides the impetus to act upon emotional motivators. The orbitofrontal cortex is integrated with the ventromedial prefrontal cotex, an area of the brain involved in ethical decision making, about which I've already said much in this post covering the scientific and evolutionary basis of ethical thinking, and which should be required reading for anyone interested in the relevant scientific findings.

Among the documented and repeatably demonstrable chemical changes involved, is the increase in the presence of an oligopeptide hormone called oxytocin, which plays a pivotal role in parent-child bonding shortly after birth, social bonding, and sexual attraction. It is heavily implicated in a range of prosocial behaviours, including pair bonding. Oxytocin hormone receptors are expressed in relevant parts of the central nervous system, along with breast tissue and the uterine lining.

It will come as no surprise to a good many here, that along with all of this, the nucleus accumbens is a central part of the limbic system, and is that part of the brain most heavily implicated in pleasure sensations and feelings of elation. Again, relevant data can be found by perusing the relevant journals.

The groundwork for the acquisition of this knowledge was led by Pierre Paul Broca, an anatomist and anthropologist whose seminal work on brain anatomy in the 19th century began the process of identifying functional brain areas. So some of the requisite knowledge has been in our hands for over 100 years.

@Grace: THEY ACTUALLY

@Grace: THEY ACTUALLY HAPPENED AS A MORPH OF LUCIFERS DOING. THATS PART OF THE REASON HE FLOODED THE EARTH.

Now that's really funny. Dinosaurs were as wonderful and beautiful as any creatures alive today. Their era lasted around 160 million years and would have continued but for a piece of cosmic bad luck. And don't forget that all birds, including all the feathered friends mentioned in the Bible, are actual living dinosaurs descended from small therapods. The only dinosaurs on the ark were Noah's ravens and doves.

LogicFTW's picture
Of Course a study of geology,

Of Course a study of geology, and well known to many geologist that the dinosaurs depended on other past extinctions before the Jurassic one to have their shot to rise to prominence. And then, like the dominant life forms of the time before them, they too mostly died out from a major extinction event, (they are still arguing if it was meteor or volcanic activity or both.)

It is funny that the bible and many other religions do all this talk of flooding as a major god wrath apocalyptic extinction event, of which there is no geological evidence of, but their is enormous amounts of evidence of major volcanic activity related mass extinctions that were even more deadly than the oft talked about the "dinosaur" period mass extinction.

Oh, don't tell me that this

Oh, don't tell me that this individual thinks that the fantasy "global flood" was real?

Next we'll be told that this individual thinks the drivel in Genesis 30:37-39 was real as well ... at which point the verdict will be "certifiable" ...

@ God Ain't Nothing and

@ God Ain't Nothing and Graceless

If either, or both, of you come back, I hope you see this one. And, Yes, these were ad-lib replies I made.

Audience Member: “What religion do you believe to be true?”
I refuse to believe in any human-made religion because ALL of them rely on the concept of faith. And, FAITH is a lie in that any human-made religion keeps the promise of eternal damnation and eternal salvation. Not just in this life we currently live, but also in some so-called afterlife. Do you honestly expect me to believe that any human created religion can hold such truths? No human is perfect. Thus, all religions are false by their very nature. Any person in this room could create a religion based upon a single god. There is no evidence any religion is from any god. — Arakish, transcribed from a live debate, Q&A session

Audience Member: “So, what do you believe the Bible is then?”
If you are to truly interpret the Bible, you will find that the Bible tells us only one thing: We are to obey and believe as we are told. This is not objective morality; rather, it is tyrannical totalitarian dictated edicts. The Bible creates the illusion that Christians are better than others, allowing them to justify all their crimes and be just as criminal as those they say are immoral. What crock of shit… — Arakish, transcribed from a live debate, Q&A session

Audience Member: “Why do you say Christians have a death wish?”
Christians are all for the second coming of Jesus, which means they entirely desire the complete apocalyptic and cataclysmic annihilation of all humanity, the entire Earth, the entire universe. Read the Bible book of The Revelation of Saint John the Divine. All they desire is to get to this Heaven and away from this heathenistic Earth. Well, I say, why don’t we just help them on their way and go ahead and execute them all? Why not? Because it is inhumane. It goes completely against the humanist views and convictions and principles… and morality held by most Atheists. However, it does kind of make sense, from a sarcastic…, yet respectful…, point-of-view. All they wish is to get to Heaven as soon as possible, ASAP. They cannot wait to get there. Since they cannot wait, let’s just euthanize them all and help to get them to their Sky Faerie and Magic Zombie Virgin and their promised misogynistic paradise filled with virgins. If you are wondering, on one side of the coin, I am deadly serious about speeding these viscious vipers to where they so wish to go. However, on the other side of the coin, I am just as serious about such a heinous act being against the very nature of humanism practiced by atheists. A nice revision of the Catch-22, wouldn’t you say? — Arakish, transcribed from a live debate, Q&A session

Audience Member: “What do you do when God closes a door on you?”
Simple, if God closes a door, reach down, turn the knob, and open it. That is how doors work.
Audience Member: “What if the door is locked?”
Then you unlock it.
Audience Member: “What if you cannot unlock from your side?”
OK. Now you are just being a sorry shit-head. That is the “Moving the Goal Post Logical Fallacy.” No matter what answer I give, you are the sorry shit-head that will keep “moving the goal posts.” Goodbye.
The Debate Foreman then dismissed this person actually had him escorted from the auditorium.

I THINK I WILL CONVERT TO

I THINK I WILL CONVERT TO THEISM --- (Cog's Hammer Activated)

I wanted to let you know, I had a COMPLETELY different experience when it comes to God.

I wondered into a Church one day high on PCP, Heroin, and Cocaine, and I didn’t feel threatened. I knew in my heart Jesus's eyes were following me around the room from his perch on the cross above the alter. No one had to try to convince me that the blood dripping onto the candles was real. So when I saw he offered me a hunk of flesh ripped from his thigh and told me to eat it, I vomited and had to sit in a pew to settle my stomach. Just then the melting Jesus on the cross above the alter screamed "Eternal life to whoever would believe on me." I had a flashback and remember a purple unicorn at a unicorn party full of magical rainbow colored unicorn shit saying the same thing to me one day. I really didn't want to clean up unicorn shit again. So I began to seek a way out, I looked at the figures in the stained glass windows and they all seemed to be pointing in a direction away from the alter and the melting Jesus. Just then a man in a black robe appears next to me. Where in the fuck had he come from? "Did you get your prayers answered?" He asked. I heard myself say "NO." "Well you may not have gotten exactly you wanted," said the man, "Jesus works in mysterious ways." Normally in times like these, I would get upset or angry, but it didn’t make me cop an attitude, or walk away, I remembered I had another joint in my pocket so I just lit up and kicked back.

Some of the times I didn’t get what I wanted, when I look back, I can see something blue came around later that the time it came before, and often times it is flying, so it was something MUCH better than I asked for.

"ATTITUDE?" Why in the fuck did that word just pop into my brain. What does it mean? It means a lot! WOW! I must be really high! ATTITUDE can help me get, ... Hey, the candles are burning. Changing my heart can change a life if I have attitude in my heart I can switch it in a heart transplant and be someone new. WOW! Melting Jesus is angry now due to unanswered prayer, apparently someone has forsaken him. That is what he keeps screaming anyway. I wish he would just hurry up and melt. Imagine being hurt like that from my own parent and then forced and judged to believe a certain way, Jesus'f father is a real DICK. I wasn’t forced to come in this place. I made the choice, OH YEA! I was looking for the exit. I forgot. The man in the black robes is back. He keeps screaming "Eternal Life I far too important to forsake." I offer him a line of cocaine and went for it. I have never seen anyone hork a line of cocaine so fast.

Everything seemed logical, there we were just sitting in the pews partying, watching the melting Jesus above the candles and then he started talking about alter boys? "Walk with me and I will show you wonderful things's" he said. Hell, I couldn't even stand up, how in the hell was I going to get it up. Besides I KNEW I was not into getting instantaneously what I wanted? No. Do you think that was going to stop him? No way. He said he had an alter boy tied up in the back room and he was going with or without me. I rested my head on the pew and he vanished up the isle.

Now I had not been hurt or forced and judged but this place was really fucked up and I could figure that much out even as high as I was. My experience may well have been different had I been straight. It may have caused me to rebel and at the thought of being asked to participate in sodomy. I was too stoned to care but thought I should call the police anyway. Something about melting Jesus and alter boys tied up in a back room didn't seem right.

I remember police men showing up and then being thrown into a police car. They did not believe me about the melting Jesus or the alter boy. I became convinced that attending church doesn’t save anyone. I had a lot of time to think while sitting in that police car.
Salvation isn't FREE, you can’t earn it by your best works. Not even by sharing your last line of cocaine with the preacher. NO ONE is good enough because sin and death were passed onto all mankind due to Adams sin. (FUCK ADAM) Oh, wait, it was EVE'S sin.
"THAT BITCH." SHE FUCKED US ALL OVER. It makes total sense to hang a dead guy on a wall to defeat death once and for all .
HEY THAT FUCKING RHYMES. COOL! It’s a GIFT I HAVE and you get it by being high and trying to write. Then you just pay attention and it reveals itself to you. It’s a win, win. A GIFT of alliteration. Scoff at it, or TAKE IT. I chose to take it.

I feel so happy that you all have taken the time to read this utter nonsense. For anyone who’s been deeply hurt, and been forced to judge others, insult them, condemn them to hell, or had parents that wanted to kill you like God killed his son, and made feel less than human. That would really hurt. I knew a teenage alter boy who was very angry, and scoffer, and lived in rebellion arguing against his priest daily to stop touching him. The boy was a loner who sat in his room with a real attitude. Six months later, he told me he had heart trouble due to his sexual confusion. Why was the priest targeting him? He knew he was not gay and would not change but the priest threatened him with hell if he didn’t change his attitude. He wanted to stop going to Church but his parents insisted that if he stopped it would kill him. He became a whole different kid. Submissive, victimized, and depressed, He gave up the angry attitude and just did what everyone wanted him to do.

Anger can make you very sick and it paints a totally negative view of life. It's better for him to endure the tortures of this world to enjoy heaven in the next. WHAT IN THE HELL AM I TALKING ABOUT? I must be coming down. Have I been cursing? Have I been sarcastic? Did I lash out at others. Well, if people continue to talk about idiot things they believe in, what should they expect. SANTA ISN'T REAL.

Is my experience different from yours? I need to take a nap now. It's been a long day.
