Demonic BBC Radio

Wonder why the religious get involved in murder,corruption, fraud and sundry evil ways of life so often? It's apparently becausetheir countries are run by Satan "These are all satanic regimes corroborated with hell, connected with the BBC radio and some evil politician in the government. " quoth Archbishop Gilbert Deya . It's definitely not the religious leaders who are mad.

ROTFLMAO

Gorilla National Empowerment

I ‘ve been miserably mulling over the comparison of South Africa’s national average IQ with those of Koko the Gorilla , according to which we are certainly dumber than an ape. Then I had a brainwave. All we have to do is to secretly administer creatine, which boosts IQ significantly in the nation’s mealiepap, and Bob’s your Uncle, a nation of Empowered People. There’s got to be something wrong with my logic there. Oh well, at least it serves to diffuse the road rage-just imagine all those tin boxes on wheels being manipulated by a country of Kokos.

Those Damned Animal-Sacrificing Greeks

Humerous House

Witness a human sacrifice! Feast your eyes on a grody abortion! Blame teen suicide on heavy metal! Find out why it’s wrong to be gay! Descend into the pits o’ hell! Check out Hell House as conceptualized by The Centre for Inquiry-West. They used the original script from those Originators of Love for Humanity, the Abundant Life Christian Center. I was just a bit put out by this disclaimer though: “HOLLYWOOD HELL HOUSE is not in any way an indictment of religion, Christianity, or the Bible. Its purpose is to demonstrate the absurdity of a literal interpretation of the Bible, specifically the belief in a literal everlasting Hell.” Damn wusses.

Quite Nice Although I'm not too sure that they'd be appreciated-or even understood-in this country.

Happy Hecate Day . As observed by the Greeks, not the Romans that is. Since it’s also less than 3 days to the New Moon, we should pour libations to this Lady: while intoning the following charming litany: “Hail, Grandmother Spider, Crone and crow, Wisewoman, elder, seer, Help us face, and destroy Our fear Hail Hecate of the Crossroads, Oh old and ominous presence glowing Your waning numinous crescent going Hail Atropos, Cutter, With your waning silver scythe, You cut the thread of Life.”

In the Hall of Maat

Still harping on the Pagan Loonies theme a bit here; I find them irritating at best when they dive in and try to rewrite history. The Burning Times, Margaret Mead, FamTrad….what a pile of crap. Many Black Conciousness groups have tried their hands at positing a World History which made them out to be slightly less of the World Class Losers than they seem. Feminist Groups have attempted the same thing along slightly different lines, even claiming that the female of the species is the original of Mankind, and the male a wimpy mutation/leech. How refreshing then for a Nazi like me to find these folk, who appear to be seriously weighing the evidence. They give Graham Hancock a good bashing, too.

Terri's in a Maudlin Mood Today

...well, not really, but a couple of things have set me thinking again. Something I only do about once a season. Five years ago, I had nearly completed the destruction of most of my brain, and was left for dead by my wonderful family. I was also at that time a complete and utter wimp. Today, as my freind Azza charmingly points out, I can be intimidating . New nerve cells, anyone? Hey, maybe I can start a business selling ways to irritate a theist. Serve them right.

What Use is Religion?

For the proponents of a Darwinian theory of Religion, the following question has always been problem: . . . it only raises the question of why a mind would evolve to find comfort in beliefs it can plainly see are false. A freezing person finds no comfort in believing he is warm; a person face-to-face with a lion is not put at ease by the conviction that it is a rabbit. (Steven Pinker."How the Mind Works") So readMy Hero's Take On It wherein he concludes : 'Darwinian selection sets up childhood brains with a tendency to believe their elders. It sets up brains with a tendency to imitate, hence indirectly to spread rumors, spread urban legends, and believe religions. But given that genetic selection has set up brains of this kind, they then provide the equivalent of a new kind of nongenetic heredity, which might form the basis for a new kind of epidemiology, and perhaps even a new kind of nongenetic Darwinian selection. I believe that religion is one of a group of phenomena explained by this kind of nongenetic epidemiology, with the possible admixture of nongenetic Darwinian selection. If I am right, religion has no survival value for individual human beings, nor for the benefit of their genes. The benefit, if there is any, is to religion itself. '
