OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF

(be careful! We aren’t allowed to call ’em ‘babes’ any more) (PC GC, U C)*.

OF YOUNGSTERS:

“Washington has many, many things that it needs to fix, and many responsibilities and duties to uphold. Global warming, however, is not one of them. Studies show that if the U.S. fully implemented the Green New Deal, the temperature of Earth would decrease by no more than 0.097 degrees Fahrenheit over a span of 30 years.  

But the price of electricity would increase by almost 10 times its current amount. The price of gasoline would increase astronomically, so that drivers would have no choice but to drive Priuses and Teslas.  

Further, it is estimated that in the state of Texas alone, such regulations would cause the loss of over a million jobs. And that’s just in Texas; across the United States, the numbers would be devastating and the effects on our economy and society possibly irreversible.”

Well now. Who would I be to find fault with any of this? I mean, the writer is a mere seventeen-year-old, for gossake. And even more worse, it’s a (brrrrr!) … girl …

For me … I’ve said it before, this whole polarising ‘Global Warming’ thing is the New Religion. I’m an atheist … and here, have unto thee a nice chart—

—make of it what you will. I found it on some (damned!) agnostic website, but it seems to be ubiquitous anyway. (Except in the Alarmist literature, where those guys tend to overlook the other way a bit …)

GC? Grammatical Correctness … just so ya know …

THEORY VERSUS

PRACTISE

Herewith a wee snippet—

—tossed in as a bone for thought, make of it what we will.

CLUE:

How heavily indoctrinated are you, by the endless repetitions of unquestioned dogmas … versus actuality?

I CANNOT HELP YOU

with this one. I’m just a dum’ dog scratching his own fleas (and the blasted fleas are winning) (dammit) …

FURTHER CLUE:

Oh … really?

THANKS, ARK

SOON AFTER ENTRY,

the good doctor makes a very good point (actually, the same point I’ve often made)(but does anyone ever listen? Nooooo …) namely that

“Islam isn’t just a religion—

—it’s a complete way of life!“

The Catholic church used to do that too, until de-fanged by civilisation. But pitting education, manners, liberty, etiquette, equality for women, free speech, democracy and all that simpering un-Islamic effeminism against the masculine bliss  power of Islam —   brrrrrrrrr!

The pen is oft claimed to be ‘mightier than the sword’. But you just try defending yourself with a pen against an enthusiastic Islamist with a Koran in one hand, scimitar in the other and the light of God blazing from his eyes. (Awww, go ahead … everyone is entitled to one mistake.)

Thanks, Ark~! I owe you … and there goes the rest of my Sunday.

That one is definitely not a oncer:  it calls for some serious viewing.

CHRIS HITCHENS ASKS

A RHETORICAL QUESTION—

 

 

—at about 4:36 (or back up a bit for the context).

PROVOKES WITHIN ME

my own ‘divine’ question …

CAN GOD CHANGE HIS MIND?

—even if we cut Him some slack? I say no. Nay. Never …

What say you?

“Which god, Argus? There’s thousands of ’em … dum’ dog …”

 

 

MY RECENT COMMENT

ON A BLOG

I reproduce in full herewith, below: 

JUDY—

“Get ’em young enough and they’re yours for life” … to quote a certain Christian school (Jesuits~!) justifiably famed for its scholarship, education, learning (and ability—brrrr).

It’s true, too. They do, too … Which is why all the mental masturbation in the world that is our discussing and dissing ‘religion(s)’ just ain’t gonna cut it.

If you wanna cut it, then cut to the chase … teach the young how to think. How to think, rationally, for themselves—which paradoxically could mean teach them religion.

But not just one religion (whichever ‘one-true-religion’ that one is) … give them an unbiassed smattering of them all. Okay, one lifetime wouldn’t be long enough so just give them an academic appreciation of the contradictions in the many conflicting claims. (‘Uniqueness’ would be the ideal staring point.)

Otherwise, let’s just keep on giving ourselves and each other the warm fuzzies by rehashing the same-old same-old. And getting nowhere …

RED RAG

TO A BULL

—this bull.

QUOTING—

“Child rape, as unspeakably horrific as that is, is not even to be compared with the blasphemy and perversion of the being, nature and name of the Creator and King of the universe.

Right there is your problem Gabrielle. You exalt man above God.”

So here we have it in a nutshell … all boils down to values. It’s a question of who values what (the ‘why’ is irrelevant at this stage).

 THE ANSWER

lies in teaching people to think.

To think rationally for themselves rather than unquestioningly accepting what their self-appointed ‘father’ figures tell them—

—without even for a moment considering the contradictions inherent in the pap they’re fed*.

Reread that Khayyam quote—doesn’t it scream at you that the ‘omniscience’ of God makes a mockery of any concept of ‘Free Will’?

And that some folks are entirely devoid of mercy and compassion, or even basic morality as understood by the dumbest brutes swinging through trees?

“Me man, me use tools. You dumb nut—crack, damn you!”

* Doorknobs don’t ask questions either. Neither do thrips. Nor things washed up on the beach that go SQUELCH when you step on them—so all could qualify as devout religiosi.

Opening with a quote—

“New Zealand judges rarely sentence people who have committed multiple offences to serve their sentences consecutively. Instead, they serve them concurrently – which means the same spell of jail time is served for all the crimes.

“In the United States, offenders usually get consecutive sentences and so much longer time in prison – for example, financial criminal Bernie Madoff is serving a 150-year tariff.

“The longest sentence given to a multiple murderer in modern times was the 30-year non-parole term (meaning the earliest date he can apply for parole) given to William Bell, who killed three people and left another close to death in a gun attack …”

—and I stand with mixed feelings:

• I hold human life as sacred
• Islam is on a War of Conquest*
• Islamics do exactly that to innocents, themselves
• all over the place (when they feel safe enough)

SO MY BASIC INSTINCTS FOR

self-protection clash head-on with my humanism. Ouch.

WHAT WE DESPERATELY NEED

in New Zealand is good law and ‘moral fibre’.

By good law I mean law based on Reality; rational law, realistic law; and law that is applicable equally to all. Law wherein there are no ‘special’ exemptions or excuses—law that is indeed blind to colour, ethnic derivation, creed.

As a Humanist I am primarily a Freedom-ist. NOT a ‘god-ist’. Gods exist only in the minds of their victims.

I believe in Freedom, personal liberty; and intercourse based on real values with the free exchange of values.

This could help explain my atheism and total contempt for religions: show me a religion based on my principles?

You can’t. And you’ll be wandering the world for a very long time with your sputtering candle, searching). (NOTE: I judge by what they actually do, not by what they claim.)

Show me, and you may just score a convert.

IN THE MEANTIME AND REGARDLESS

of any sentencing by judges desperate to appear ‘cool’ … one has to ask:

Given that everything is The Will Of God—

 

—what possible grounds might any religious person have for complaint?

* And has been for hundreds of years—sometimes active and hot, other times quietly by stealth—yet it never stops.
