Euphoric atheists

[AnOminous]

And also Spain exists at all in large part due to Christianity.

Don't forget Spain got out of World War II almost entirely unharmed because their fascist leader didn't want to join in on the whole European "getting completely fucked up the ass and requiring rescue by the U.S." party.

I enjoy watching Neil DeGrasse Tyson undermine his tenure as an academic by being an ill-informed wet blanket. We all know he's a retarded Santa-denier who justifies his lunacy with arbitrary numbers. But did you know that he's also horrendously ill-informed with the most basic of medieval Near Eastern history? His statements of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali being responsible for ending the Islamic Golden Age is fucking wilfully ignorant at best and blatantly incendiary at its absolute worst.

Excellent video about al-Ghazali by Let's Talk Religion with relevant timestamp. If you don't wish to watch, in essence: Al-Ghazali himself was, like most Islamic Golden Age scholars, both a devout Muslim and an extremely well-read polymath. Al-Ghazali himself actually loved mathematics as a means of providing empirical proof of God's works. Al-Ghazali's methodology actually drew quite heavily from عقل (trasnlit: "aql"; meaning "reasoning," "intellect," things of that nature), contrary to what Tyson postulates.

Also, that fuckface forgot to mention the most important thing of all: the motherfucking Sack of Baghdad by the Mongol Hordes.

Seriously, I can respect the man's credentials as a person of the disciplines. But as a historian, and as a general human being? He's no better than a euphoric atheist lolcow.

Good stuff. These types rarely touch on Islam or Islamic history, so that was a treat. Thanks.

They don't. JWs grind so hard for converts because it's a revolving door. I crunched the numbers on Pew's big religion survey and something like 70% of people who were raised JW end up leaving at some point.

Fun JW thing: The high-ranking Watchtower members all wear a gold ring on the ring finger of their right hand. Once you see it you can't unsee it. This is some straight up Rosicrucian shit and I love it.

JWs and Mormons are endlessly fascinating to me. Until I was an adult I’d never had a group try to convert me, their foolishness by randomly approaching strangers sent me down a rabbit hole. I don’t know whether to laugh or pitty them.

Franco, though he was leaning more Axis than Allies, really couldn't do anything to assist the Axis war effort because the country had just gone through a civil war, and their military was decimated.

I've heard some military personnel served as auxiliaries, though they were officially “volunteers” who joined on their own accord rather than part of any official expeditionary force. And many of them might be, but we all know at least some probably got voluntold to go in order to reciprocate the German auxiliaries that fought in their Civil War.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

He is an idiot, all he does is memorize info and regurgitate it to sound smart.

Do you know why he was accused of sexual harassment, and he replied that he might have misread the situation? Because that man doesn't understand context.

Iirc, there was mass shootings in the area/state where Beto O Rouke was working (15+ ppl dead? forgot exact number). While people are still emotional, Neil tweeted something to the tune of "Do you know that Malaria kills more people each year than mass shooting?"

If there's 10+ people in close proximity die at the same time, it is a cause for worry, you don't go and put a stupid irrelevant statistic, because it doesn't make you look smart but dumb as hell. If he can't even discern something this simple, i can believe he cannot discern when a woman is uncomfortable with him.

He was also once asked about whether he knows where the spirit goes after death or if there is afterlife, but he ignores the question and goes on describing how a dead body decays after death, because the narcissist can't help to show off his knowledge in any situation.

Anon, you could be writing a great novel instead of being a racist on the internet.

 

[RedneckQuadFeed]

Actually, it make you a fool on here, because the only reason you get to post on Twitter all day, every day, like you do is because you're unemployed, and other people have to pick up your slack.

Seriously, you know these people don't work because this is their entire life.

We talk Tyson now?

Atheist Girl made a new account for more "sexual" outings. She's already posted nudes of herself on her main already though.

Of course, she's another one who lives on Twitter and doesn't work.
What is it with euphorics (particularly ex-Christian euphorics) and this hyper obsession with sex and sexuality? It has to go beyond just being repressed about it because there is so much more to life than just sex.

Got a little criticism regarding having a better outlet, response is as you'd expect.

Professor Dave Explains has to be one of the most Euphoric Atheists I have seen in awhile. He is so completely assmad at Dr. James Tour, a highly respected synthetic chemist, that The Science hasn't explained the origin of life yet that Dave made several videos just spewing how little Dave himself knows at all about chemistry and the origin of life. Every time Tour explains to him why he is retarded based on actual research, Dave doubles down because TOUR IS A CHRISTIAN SO HE IS WRONG, END. That's literally his whole scientific argument. Meanwhile Tour never mentions God or anything like that as an explanation. This is some of the most hilarious and informative shit I have seen in a long time.

I cringed myself to death less than a minute in but person X getting mad that person Y rebroadcast a claim about X that X made about themselves is a staple of this site.

Euphoric atheism is a hell of a drug. Dave is so dead wrong and whenever he brings on guests, he is so ignorant about the topic, his own guests prove him wrong and he doesn't even know it. He thinks they are actually agreeing with him about how science has origin of life figured out. Science hasn't figured out the origin of life. That neither proves God exists or disproves God exists and Tour makes that super clear and says he figures in the future we will be able to scientifically understand the origin of life. But right now the only thing science is uncovering about it is how much we don't know. This to Dave means Tour is arguing that this proves Tour is just simping this topic for God somehow. I learned a boatload from this slap fight and I am glad it happened.

Is this guy aware that most Christians aren't rabid creationists? Many believe God was involved with evolution. Since Tour works in science, the chances of him being a young Earth creationist are pretty close to zero.

I think the problem with saying evolution is, in atheist's mind, evolution is men evolving from sea animals etc, which is usually called macro evolution, while theist's are saying micro evolution, which means you are were always human, and you evolved to be a better human. Remember, there has been exactly 0 evidence of macro evolution in all the observable history period.

Here is the issue with the billion of years theory, an icicle needs hundreds of years to develop, but if God made an icicle, does he need hundred of years to make it? The carbon dating might be correct, but the presumption that all things must start from 0 is flawed.

That's why there is always this paradox, chicken or egg comes first? Human or baby comes first?

If we assume the bible is true, then the dilemma is instantly solved, because God made men first, and God certainly doesn't need a sperm & egg and wait 9 months to develop a man. Otherwise the paradox will always be a huge black hole in the macro evolution theory.

The concept of explaining how things come about for billions of years tend to be just "smart" egoistic talk, when we cannot even track where the origin of language comes from and dunno what happens before the available recorded history from China, which was about 5000+ years ago.

Maybe the euphorics can try answering the simple questions first like "where do language originate from?" before acting smart pretending to talk how they know what happens billions of years ago.

The distinction between "macro" and "micro" evolution is really just a creationist bugbear, though. As the whole scenario about needing the chicken to lay the chicken egg to get the chicken to get the egg, same with humans. Before chickens, there were egg laying creatures that looked and were nothing like chickens. But as time went on and those creatures found the "chicken" niche to fit into, they were gradually changed over time by their survival and reproductiive rates until eventually one laid an egg that was close enough to what we consider a chicken. It wasn't that different from its parents, and not that different from its descendants, but it was very different from further ancestors. Same with early humans. You don't go suddenly all chimpanzee-like to all human-like.

And just to cover all the bases, icicles can form in a matter of minutes or hours. Stalactites take long stretches of time.

We don't have written records from before the invention of writing, but that doesn't mean there isn't a record. Archeologists have gotten a pretty good picture of human civilizations as far back as about 12,000 years ago based on excavations of towns and temples that date to that era.

As far as I know, he isn't. He is a Messianic Jew. I don't know why Dave Farina latched on so autistically to the Origin of Life problem when he could just as easily go after more questionable targets Tour has talked about such as the physical resurrection of Christ. It is so funny all of this because Farina sounds exactly like the Christians he claims to hate and he doesn't have the self-awareness to realize it. Why does he need self-awareness? He is le logickal scientiste, so rational, could never be wrong. It just cracks me up.

BTW, this is very much an ongoing slapfight. Tour just posted another response video about it.

I'm corrected here, yes i actually meant stalactites but i didn't know that term.

The arguments for the billions of years versus thousands of years is to show that weird timespan where we claim to know more about what happened billion of years ago yet we couldn't even know clearly what happened thousands of years ago. It's easy to claim billions of years when humans can't even begin to comprehend a million years.

Unfortunately, origin of language is still a giant question mark, everything is just theories with multiple theories contradicting each other.

And unfortunately, the chicken & egg answer is still a theory with no concrete evidence to validate it, and lots of theories to contradict the process you just mentioned above.

Most living things have a language in one form or another. Chemical signals in living things to the plant/fungi kingdom. Invertebrates and higher use body language, chemicals, and vocal cues. Domesticated animals have clearly been shown to learn human language even if their understanding is limited. It suggests there is an internal sense of it that they use among themselves. My cats can make many vocalizations depending on what they want or need and then train me as much as I train them in my language how to respond. For whatever reason, humans are the only animals with two very important variations that we can speak beyond intelligible grunts/basic needs and have opposable thumbs we put to good use. Why this evolved in just us over any other known animal is an interesting question.

This dude might have to get a spinoff thread after this one.

 

[Overcast]

Human beings are the closest thing there is to God. It's only natural for men and women to desire to be with each other and to be fruitful and multiply. Due to the broken world we live in though, that natural desire gets warped and manifests into something unhealthy and damaging. Sex is a double edged sword. When used correctly, it's able to create something beautiful, figuratively and literally. Misusage of it and obsession of it however leads people down self destructive paths and ironically separates people from each other.

But that's what God is for. When you have no one else, God is there for you. He never changes, he never leaves you and will always love and protect you no matter how often you may mess up.

The problem is, many people don't allow God in their lives, which ends up leaving a hole that can't be filled by anyone else. We end up trying to fill that void with things like sex, money, status and anything else that validates us in some way. Even if two people do forge a relationship, get married and never divorce, one day one of them is going to pass away and leave the other alone. The only one who can fill that void at that point is God.

We're commanded to love others, but no one can ever replace God. Hence why these people are so miserable, they condemn themselves to complete and utter isolation and pretend that they are absolutely fine and lash out at others whenever someone points out the obvious.
