I thought he was Darth Sidious. Didn't know he was the Umbrella Corporation's priest too.

Adam and Eve, Part Two

If Adam and Eve were created by god, in it's infinite power. Why does Adam and Eve have belly buttons, I thought those came from the umbilical cord, which is a trait only present in live birth mammals.

And other thing. Who was the artist for the first picture? Did god do it? A snake? A special spider than can paint but died off years ago because painting isn't a valid survival tool.

Google You Fool

So I blindly punched in some none sensible characters into the Google search bar "6gsffeaq2d" and hit enter. As I expected I received the "No results containing all your search terms were found." So okay, but it also came up with "Did you mean: gsf fea 2d" oh yes, of course that's what I meant to enter, thanks Google. So of course I follow the revised spelling url and land on the same page, but now it asks "Did you mean: get tea today", so of course I follow the new suggestion and get a regular old results page with 597,000,000 results. That's a big jump from 0 twice up to almost 600 million.

So anyhow this little experiment has me thinking about the ways concepts, ideas, information in general can be altered and manipulated by individuals and become something entirely different, something that beers no resemblance to it's former self. Some examples that come to mind would be children, because a child is different from it's parent because of mutations, so every generation is slightly different than the last. Another example must be religion, in particular all of the controversy surrounding followers of the bible, debating whether stories in the good book should be taken literally, or just as guidelines about leading better lives and doing onto others as you would have them do onto you.

Pray on It

it's simple, really.

Prayer has never done anything for anyone.

---

If god has a master plan, an intelligent design, then why are people always praying for god to change things?

---

If I believe in Islam 2.2 billion Christians will perish in hell for eternity. If I believe in Christianity, 1.5 billion Muslims will perish in hell for eternity. But if I believe neither, nobody has to perish at all.

You know his name wasn't really Jesus Christ, right?

Jesus is just the Greek translation of Yeshua, which translates from Hebrew in Joshua. But his name wasn't Josh Christ, either, since his parents weren't Joseph and Mary Christ. So it's really not blasphemy to say "Jesus Christ", because it's not taking the right name in vain.

Isn't religion fun?

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME

That a Jewish zombie can make me live forever if I telepathically accept his as my master all because a talking snake convinced a rib-woman to eat from a magical tree?

Adam and Eve?

Wait, Eve was made from Adams rib?

So they had the same DNA?

Which means they have the same sex chromosomes.

So you're telling me Adam and Eve were gay twins?! We're all descended from two brothers doing it? That is a sick story.
Sick Sick Six!

Skeptic Bibles (9th Edition). Part 2

Christianity

The belief that a god created a universe 12.75 billion light years across containing 200 billion galaxies, each of which contains an average of more than 200 billion stars, just so he could have a personal relationship with you.

One day Hitler and his officers were out doing Nazi stuff.

Some kids nearby noticed that one of Hitler's officers was bald so they made fun of him. They called him a "bald head."

Hitler said "Ok guys, shoot these kids." So they did, they shot and killed all 42 kids.

This didn't happen, but one time god sent bears to kill 42 kids for calling one of his servants bald.
(2 Kings 2:23,24)

"Oh, I love your religion ...for the crazy! Virgin birth. Water into wine. It's like Harry Potter, but it causes genocide and bad fold music."

Skeptic Bibles (9th Edition)

Has donated billions to charity...just under 70% of his net worth...Including $10 Billion to find the development and distribution of life saving vaccines for children throughout the world...saving millions of lives.

Going to hell for not believing in God.

Charges all taxpayers millions to have him visit their county, irrespective of their beliefs and income, in spite of the Catholic church having net worth in the billions. Opposes Vaccines, and the use of condoms needs to prevent the spread of AIDS.

Gets to go to heaven.

Seems Legit.

While I don't feel strongly one way or the other about condoms, I don't think it's fair for a child to be born with Aids or any ailment because it's mother and/or father chose to be a whore. The child doesn't deserve to be poisoned by the failures of the parent(s).

Dark Clouds in Aquila: Part of a dark expanse that splits the crowded plane of our Milky Way galaxy, the Aquila Rift arcs through the northern hemisphere's summer skies near bright star Altair and the Summer Triangle. In silhouette against the Milky Way's faint starlight, its dusty molecular clouds likely contain raw material to form hundreds of thousands of stars and astronomers eagerly search the clouds for telltale signs of star birth. This telescopic close-up looks toward the region at a fragmented Aquila dark cloud complex identified as LDN 673, stretching across a field of view slightly wider than the full moon. In the scene, visible indications of energetic outflows associated with young stars include the small red tinted nebulosity RNO 109 at top left and Herbig-Haro object HH32 above and right of center. The dark clouds in Aquila are estimated to be some 600 light-years away. At that distance, this field of view spans about 7 light-years.

Atheism Isn't Scary -- Well, it may ne scary at first (it really is), but when you think about it, that means that all of this; our planet, our moon, our stars and the trillions of lifeforms crawling everywhere, are all brilliantly interconnected. Our home is the heroic survivor of a collision from the black, as evidenced by the Moon. Our star is a nuclear furnace, powering our weather, our plants, and ultimately our very bodies. We're brothers and sister to the other apes, cousins of the cats and dogs, distant relatives of the spiders and crocodiles, and all children of exploding stars, showering us with the ingredients for life.

We aren't just beings placed here in a tailor-made Universe. We are the Universe, brought alive through chance and power, of conflict and an endless string of love: our only purpose to huddle together on a sea-soaked rock hurtling through time and space as we live our lives and learn about ourselves and our origins.

That to me, is so much more beatiful than any god could ever make it. There's nothing that could compare. A godless Universe isn't scary. It's amazing.

Incidentally, disturbance from cosmic background radiation is something we have all experienced. Tune your television to any channel it doesn't receive, and about 1 percent of the dancing static you see is accounted for by this ancient remnant of the Big Bang. The next time you complain that there is nothing on, remember that you can always watch the birth of the universe.

What can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

"It's my view that the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful."

- Stephen Hawking

"Every atom you possess has almost certainly passed through several stars are been part of millions of organisms on its way to becoming you. We are each so atomically numerous and so vigorously recycled at death that a significant number of our atoms - up to a billion for each of us, it has been suggested - probably once belonged to Shakespeare.

A billion more each came from Buddha and Genghis Khan and Beethoven, and any other historical figure you care to name.

So we are all reincarnations - though short-lived ones. When we die our atoms will disassemble and move off to find new uses elsewhere - as part of a leaf or other human being or drop of dew.

What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.

Milky Way

We live on a hunk of rock and metal than circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billions other stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy which is one of billions of other galaxies which make up a universe which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes. That is a perspective on human life and out culture that is well worth pondering.

The debate between science and religion was over when churches started putting lightning rods on their steeples.

Agnostic Quotes

“Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?”
― Carl Sagan

---

“Mario, what do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic and a dyslexic?"

"I give."

"You get someone who stays up all night torturing himself mentally over the question of whether or not there's a dog.”
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest  

---

“The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.”
― Carl Sagan

---

“We have a choice. We have two options as human beings. We have a choice between conversation and war. That's it. Conversation and violence. And faith is a conversation stopper.”
― Sam Harris

---

“It is often said, mainly by the 'no-contests', that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thoughts it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?”
― Richard Dawkins

---

“You don’t have to be brave or a saint, a martyr, or even very smart to be an atheist. All you have to be able to say is “I don’t know”.”
― Penn Jillette

---

“We all ought to understand we're on our own. Believing in Santa Claus doesn't do kids any harm for a few years but it isn't smart for them to continue waiting all their lives for him to come down the chimney with something wonderful. Santa Claus and God are cousins.”
― Andy Rooney

---

“A belief is not true because it is useful”
― Henri-Frédéric Amiel

---

“The position of the Atheist is a clear and reasonable one. I know nothing about ‘God’ and therefore I do not believe in Him or in it; what you tell me about your God is self‐contradictory, and therefore incredible. I do not deny ‘God,’ which is an unknown tongue to me; I do deny your God, who is an impossibility. I am without God.”
― Annie Wood Besant, Annie Besat

Hell

In many religious traditions, hell is a place of suffering and punishment in an afterlife, often after resurrection. Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as endless. Religions with a cyclic history often depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations. Typically these traditions locate hell under the Earth's external surface and often include entrances to Hell from the land of the living. Other afterlife destinations include Heaven, Purgatory, Paradise, and Limbo.

Punishment in Hell typically corresponds to sins committed during life. Sometimes these distinctions are specific, with damned souls suffering for each sin committed, but sometimes they are general, with condemned sinners relegated to one or more chamber of Hell or to a level of suffering.

But what stature does the meaning of HELL hold in the modern world? It no longer represents infernal punishment or a place for the dammed to suffer an eternity for their sins in life. The concept of hell has become a joke, quite literally.I say this because;

First off, the use of Hell as an exclamation:Used to express annoyance or surprise. A far cry for it's originating use.

Second, the media representation of hell in movies, music, television, etc has devolved into nothing short of a parody of it's former self. When the concept of hell started it was to stand for the worst place in the world where the worst atrocities took place. Now cartoons depict dimwitted characters entering hell with ease and escaping even easier. Songs after song are produced proclaiming deals with the devil, and surviving the forces of hell, all preformed by self-infatuated megalomaniacs with delusions of grandeur.

Now don't get me wrong, by no means am I saying I believe in the notion of Hell, or am I saying anyone that shows signs of a megalomaniac is bad for writing a song about a deal with the devil or what ever the case may be, because music is music and everyone has different reasons for what they do, self-expression, fame, creativity, etc.

Third, the idea of hell has over the years become diluted by it's saturation overuse and affiliation with inferior content. A few hundred years ago if someone was to merely mention the word hell in a conversation it would be so very serious and taken with the utmost regard. Today the word is used frivolously in conversation so much so that it has devolved into a minor curse. Society as a whole have become so desensitized to the word hell, as is the case with other forms of slander, that it has lost it's meaning and identity.

Fourth, the original usage and meaning of Hell was a place of suffering and punishment in an afterlife, Hell was to depict what a life of evil would lead to, most likely as an institution geared towards frightening citizens away from the sins and crimes against the fellow human that were of the day and age. An act of social deviance, severe enough, would result with the doer being cast down into the fiery abyss to suffer worse than anything imaginable.

In conclusion, I remain impartial to the ever changing meaning and usage of Hell because after all one of the things I really enjoy about the English language is how new words are perpetually incorporated, discontinued and evolved over the years. Like a constant machine of consumption the English have throughout history explored new lands and when a new land was already inhabited the English would conquer but in doing so they would incorporate the native ways of life into the newly created lands and in turn bring parts of the new ways of life back to England and spread to other colonies, and thus further advancing the greater whole. Now in this age of technological advancements we have already seen changes in language, such as LOL, and we will continue to see many more advances, whether they truly be conceived as a step forward or back. Or consider the utter complexity of language, taking this into consideration that perhaps language cannot be simply conceived in the 2D (two-dimensional) and more critical analysis is required to understand the full complexity of it all.

Saint Patrick

Saint Patrick 

Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick") is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on 17 March. It commemorates Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early seventeenth century, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general.

Holiday

The day is generally characterized by the attendance of church services, wearing of green attire and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating, and drinking alcohol, which is often proscribed during the rest of the season.

Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and in Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora, especially in places such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, among others. Today, St. Patrick's Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint's day in the world.

The Man

Saint Patrick was born in Roman Britain in the fourth century, into a wealthy Romano-British family. His father and grandfather were deacons in the Christian church. At the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken captive to Ireland as a slave. It is believed he was held somewhere on the west coast of Ireland, possibly Mayo, but the exact location is unknown. According to his Confession, he was told by God in a dream to flee from captivity to the coast, where he would board a ship and return to Britain. Upon returning, he quickly joined the Church in Auxerre in Gaul and studied to be a priest.

In 432, he again said that he was called back to Ireland, though as a bishop, to Christianise the Irish from their native polytheism. Irish folklore tells that one of his teaching methods included using the shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to the Irish people. After nearly thirty years of evangelism, he died on 17 March 461, and according to tradition, was buried at Downpatrick. Although there were other more successful missions to Ireland from Rome, Patrick endured as the principal champion of Irish Christianity and is held in esteem in the Irish church.

Why Green & Shamrocks

Originally, the color associated with Saint Patrick was blue. Over the years the color green and its association with Saint Patrick's day grew. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century. Saint Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish, and the wearing and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the day. In the 1798 rebellion, to make a political statement, Irish soldiers wore full green uniforms on 17 March in hopes of catching public attention. The phrase "the wearing of the green", meaning to wear a shamrock on one's clothing, derives from a song of the same name.
