It's Possible: Atheists Are The Only Honest People Alive

The first things I noticed, above and below, was how liars are always ready to disrespect American blacks by appropriating our argument (how long the oppression has been taking place) and how easily everyone else decides that claim is valid - when advanced by anyone but blacks:

"I came across another falsified claim of brutal anti-Christian oppression today. 

 ...I should point out that the people behind this hoax presumably subscribe to the Ten Commandments, including the one against bearing false witness.

The Jewish Chronicle, pushing its own agenda, published the same photo and called the executed men “dissidents.” A pro-LGBT blogger falsely claimed they were gay, and some Internet commenters were happy to perpetuate that fallacy.

 P.S.: I unsuccessfully tried to find instances of atheists or agnostics lying about the photo to advance their cause....

That's because - unlike all these others - we atheists don't have to fib:

Blacks can't advance surrounded by racist liars,...

Lou Reed Is Dead & May The Rest Follow Him Faster

I am so sick of reading how Boomers destroyed our lives:

My parents split up when I was 4. My father, a lawyer, wrote the divorce papers himself and included one specific rule: My mother was forbidden to raise my brother and me religiously. She agreed, dissolving Sunday church and Bible study with one swift signature. Mom didn’t mind; she was agnostic and knew we didn’t need religion to be good people. But a disdain for faith wasn’t the only reason he wrote God out of my childhood. There was simply no room in our household for both Jesus Christ and my father’s one true love: Ayn Rand.

The LDS: Can't Live With Them, Can't Live Without Truth

When Romney ran, I caught hell for saying what many Mormons are just discovering:

  A top Mormon leader made headlines this week when he acknowledged, without being specific, that past actions by church leaders may have contributed to doubts about church teachings.

Indeed, one-in-five Mormons surveyed in 2011 said they have such doubts.

And doubt they will - it's a cult - and one that can't survive modern scrutiny:

Though, I have to admit, crazier things have happened,...

 

He's Not Sure About God (He Knows He's A Dad)

This just goes to show us how stupid, and disgracefully evil, the whole situation surrounding religious beliefs can get:

The courts have taken away a father's visitation rights with his children because he's not sure if God exists.

Talk about a nightmare. For the record, God doesn't exist, so to do anything to anyone because of a belief one way or another is beyond madness. It's a crime. It has to be. Making American citizens live with such nonsense as this, and torturing us for life because of it, surely is a crime.

TMR doesn't think much of agnosticism, but we want to be clear on our position regarding this gentleman's plight:

This. Is. Wrong.

I'm 100% Sure This Is What "Stupid" Looks Like

"I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic."

-- Brad Pitt, the adulterously unethical NewAge idiot of Hollywood - yea: the guy who cheated on his wife, reads Ken Wilber's cult writings, and once proclaimed "Religion works!" - keeping his reputation for clear-thinking and intelligence intact, in The Daily News.

Organized Atheism Is A Bunch Of Wimpy Idiots

"The good news: They exceeded their fundraising target by 2,700 percent. The bad news: They totally wussed out by tossing 'probably' in the slogan. The worst news: They couldn’t think of anything better to do with £135,000 than buy dopey ads on the side of a bus."

-- Allah Pundit, getting to the pink, red and yellow Richard Dawkins and Co. before TMR did (but coming to exactly the same sad conclusions) on Hot Air.

Really - if those English twits had donated even a bit of that money to TMR the whole world would be different now. TMR figues they just want publicity, because this sure isn't helping,...nor are they making way (or a way) for anybody else.

They ain't even trying,...the losers.

Why Are Liberals Worried About Assassination? Because Shooting Our Way Out Is Our Only Hope

"John Roberts interviewing Paul Begala on CNN just now slipped and said 'we' when asking how Democrats should respond to Republican attacks."

-- Mona Charen, actually listening to what someone in the mainstream media says, while writing for The National Review.

And here's the same John Roberts - "Mr. Objective Reporter" - without that shit-eating grin, above, talking to Joe The Plumber (who laughs at him):



And, of course, TMR can't leave out when (the supposedly atheist/agnostic) Bill Maher was on The Daily Show, dissing Scientology while calling ("The Lightworker") Barack Obama "Our Boy," and Jon Stewart - "Mr. Impartial Comedy" - didn't say anything about A) how he supposedly hits "both sides equally" or B) what, in any other context, he and other liberals would be screaming was a racial slur against a black man and the potential President of the United States:

One Way Or Another - Whether It's Behind Your Back Or By Force - They're Coming For Your Kids

Seven Christian students in Quebec have been handed suspensions in the last few days – and could face expulsions – for refusing to participate in a new mandatory Ethics and Religious Culture course that, according to a critic, is a "superficial mishmash of trendy theoretical platitudes' with the goal of convincing children that 'all religions – including pagan animism and cults – are equally 'true.'"

Canada's National Post has reported on the developing confrontation between educators who have ordered students to take the course and students and their parents who object to what they see as a virtual indoctrination into a social and moral relativism.

While seven students already have been targeted for punishment, hundreds more are demanding to be relieved of the obligation to attend the classes, and several parents have begun legal actions,...

In 2005, a change in the law eliminated a family's right to choose among ''Catholic,'' ''Protestant'' or ''moral'' instruction in classrooms, a change that took effect last summer.

Quebec Education Department spokeswoman Stephanie Tremblay told the newspaper school boards have gotten more than 1,400 requests from parents for their children to be exempted from the instruction, which emphasizes feminism over Christianity, and suggests Raelians are centuries ahead of other beliefs.

She also confirmed school boards have rejected every request for an exemption.

She explained it is not "religious instruction."

"It is religious culture," she stated. "We introduce young people to religious culture like we introduce them to musical culture."

...In the National Post, columnist Barbara Kay took school officials to task for teaching what she described as 'a chilling intrusion into what all democratically inspired charters of rights designate as a parental realm of authority.'

She continued, "ERC was adopted by virtual fiat, its mission to instill 'normative pluralism' in students. 'Normative pluralism' is gussied-up moral relativism, the ideology asserting there is no absolute right or wrong and that there are as many 'truths' as there are whims."

"The program is predicated on the worst worst possible educational model for young children: the philosopher Hegel's 'pedagogy of conflict.' As one of the founders of the ECR course put it, students 'must learn to shake up a too-solid identity' and experience 'divergence and dissonance'…

"The curriculum is strewn with politically correct material that openly subverts Judeo-Christian values. In many of the manuals, ideology and religion are conflated. Social engineering is revealed as the heart of the ECR program; in the most recently published activity book, for example, Christianity is given 12 pages, feminism gets 27 pages...."

She continued, "Paganism and cults are offered equal status with Christianity. Witches 'are women like any other in daily life;' 'Technologically [the Raelians] are 25,000 years in advance of us.' And considering that of the 80,000 ethnic aboriginals in Quebec only 700 self-identify with aboriginal spirituality (the vast majority of ethnic aboriginals are Christian), aboriginal spirituality (falsely equated with environmentalism) is accorded hugely disproportionate space and reverence."

...Now the school has started its own court challenge. Principal Paul Donovan told the Post the mandates require relativism.

"What it essentially says is that religion is just, 'You like tomato soup and I like pea soup, so don't be all offended because someone likes tomato soup. It's really just a matter of preference,'" he told the Post. "Religion could be Wiccan or Raelian or any of the new movements or atheism or agnosticism."

Sylvain Lamontagne told the Globe Campus education publication the course is religious fast food.

"We can't do this to children. It will only confuse them," he said. "Religion isn't a Chinese buffet. You can't just pick one and then another however you want."

Kay cited the course's "gloss" of the Golden Rule:

"Christianity's 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,' Judaism's 'Love thy neighbour as thyself ' and Islam's 'None of you is really a believer if he does not wish for his brother what he wishes for himself.' All are posited in the ERC text as the same acknowledgement of the common humanity of all God's children," she wrote.

"But in fact, there is a deep interpretive chasm between Christianity's 'others' and Judaism's 'neighbour' – both of which refer to all people – and Islam's 'brother,' which refers only to fellow Muslims. Here is 'divergence and dissonance' truly worthy of 'le questionnement.' But encouraging real critical thinking is precisely what the ERC course employs duplicity to avoid," she wrote.

"Quebec is veering into creepy Orwellian political territory here," she said.

In God We Don't Trust (But We're Cool)

"Michelle dumps on atheists. But affectionately. Sort of. Except for her suggestion that believers treat them like 'trolls.' Heh.

I think she’s referring specifically to the sort of jackassery going on at the capitol in Washington, of which neither I nor the other conservative atheist/agnostics I read are fans."

-- Allah Pundit, giving further voice to the idea there's a new breed of atheist out there - we don't fit the foolish "Let's destroy Christmas" model - which is more prone to be accused (by liberals) of spouting Hot Air.

The Latest Results Of The "Believe In" Poll: Man, But You "Spiritual" People Sure Are STUPID!!!

Here's the results of a Harris Poll that should be an embarrassment to all of us:

"More Americans believe in the Devil, Hell and Angels than in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution".

This is almost 2009, right?

What-ever. Elizabeth “The Anchoress” Scalia has a Pajamas Media piece, about the role of religion in the War On Terror, that I've butchered to explain why I think it's important to engage NewAge beliefs - which I consider "the enemy within" - as much (or even more so) than others think it's important to engage Islam, Christianity, etc.. I think one ought to consider:

"The fundamentalists,..believe they are,...heroes. First and foremost, they 'believe.'

Their rhetoric,..rides the language of faith.

It is with the language of faith that,...must be engaged and defeated, and therein lies the disconnect for the diplomatic West. Having reasoned itself out of faith, its incomplete arsenal is fit for battle, but not for victory.

The West can speak only of borders, boundaries, markets, and measurement. Faith exists beyond boundaries and borders; it defies markets and measurement. The negotiables of the West are worldly and “the world” means nothing in the face of paradise,...

..What these extremists want is submission,..

We should consider that [NewAge fundamentalism] may not be defeatable, except on its own terms, on the battlefield of the supernatural.

To secularists and avowed agnostics who work to expunge all religious language from governments, that idea is anathema. I doubt it makes many Christians or Jews happy, either.

But the war,...is as much about ideas and ideals as about security and strategy. If one side’s ideas are mayhem in service to transcendence and the other side is thinking about meetings and signed papers, then secular Western diplomacy is boxing with one glove."

O.K., I'm back - see, here's the thing about NewAge: it's really stupid.

To be completely honest, NewAgers are so stupid the word "stupid" is totally inadequate for describing how stupid NewAgers are.

Their level of stupidity is so completely off-the-chart we may need to come up with a new way to rate stupidity altogether.

They're really that stupid.

Like stupid squared.

But, in order to defeat them, first you have to take NewAge stupidity seriously.

I mean, it's them or us, and they feel no qualms about making it us.

Before my ex-wife, Karine Anne Brunck, introduced me to exactly how stupid NewAgers can be, I made excuses for her stupidity - just as many make excuses now when discussing NewAge with me ("it's harmless").

I did it because I loved her.

And I also wanted to love people generally - French people, especially - because the acceptance of and by people "unconditionally" was part of being a good NewAge person (if you don't know what they're up to) right?

Who doesn't want to be seen as a nice person?

I just wanted to try to be of help, y'know?

But now that NewAgers have made it abundantly clear that such acceptance doesn't run both ways - anyone who can see through NewAge delusions need not apply - there's no reason for me to cover for any of those idiots any longer.

I mean, the shoe's finally on the other foot: they're actually in charge now.

They're the ones who are "in the way" of my fucking dreams.

So, now, I've got to fight like they did.

They've always been a danger. They've always gone about wrecking the economy. They've always killed for what they wanted (as opposed to what was needed). This much is clear.

They've always rattled on equally (as though the following are equal) about Gays, blah, blah, blah,...

Animals, blah, blah, blah,...

The environment, blah, blah, blah, women, blah, blah, blah,...

Blacks, blah, blah, blah,...

Sensitivity, blah, blah, blah,...

But hate the white man, blah, blah, blah,...


And anything associated with Jesus, blah, blah, blah.

There's nothing "new" to their "age".

Political watchers know this script by heart.

So there's nowhere for it to go because - for all their talk of "change" - it's the same imagery that was written on sheets of acid 40 years ago:

Somebody's skull - but on a rainbow.

Or a dancing Russian bear, etc.

Like children, they're fools who respond to symbolism, not actual thinking.

Pretty pictures are about as deep as their minds can go.

But the situation they've made is going to quickly drag them out of the shallow end of the gene pool.

At some point they've got to stop blaming Georgie Boy.

The truth of his administration keeps coming out (and the lies are being exposed as such) so pretty soon - and that's apparently much sooner than they think - the NewAgers will not only have to own the mess they have but, also, the mess they've made.

And, then, we ought to be able to see some real action.
