i had a friend of mine who used to be a creationist, but is now a christian who believes in evolution, ask me if i could honestly say that one could believe in god and evolution simultaneously. i’m a convinced atheist, but, i am not an atheist because of evolution, nor do i think evolution falsifies christianity. most of the world’s christians in fact accept both.
my friend is from a fundamentalist background, and now that he rejects literalism he is freaking out about god, etc. it just shows the bankrupt nature of christian fundamentalism that accepting science, truth, reality, makes them question their religion. i think there’s a reason that the IQs of fundamentalists in the USA is so much lower than moderate, and especially liberal, religionists. the system is rigged so that any deviation from “orthodoxy” means the whole system collapses and one sees nihilism as the only valid alternative.
i think this is a cautionary tale for western muslims.

how can you react towards atheists? They are the MOST fundamentalist of all knuckleheads. “My intellect penetrates the whole cosmos and finds nothing but a godless infinity….” As if. Greatest stretch of all time. Or atleast a competitive tie with fundamentalists. Equal low IQs too. If you are too stupid to know that you have created a straw man god to deny with your half-wit, maybe you do deserve the title of A5 Wagyu Cudlip.
Being arrogant about it is the gravy.

lol indeed! and razib is the most moronic of all …..a conservative atheist.
He is the Prince of the cudlips, as he has told us many times….he believes that human nature is entrenched and unavoidable so must it must “tolerated” and “managed”….that means he believes humans are too stupid to learn, and so are entitled to be ignorant homophobic anti-intellectual creationist racist sub-sapients.
aka cudlips.
shams 5:09 pm on December 11, 2010 Permalink |
that would be average humans ungifted with his peerless intellect…which alas is somehow inadequate to discover that he is the isomorph of the cudlips he secretly sneers at.

Or perhaps he is a existentialist and I empathize with that position. Some people insist on teleological explanations for the universe. Others, perhaps like Razib, just see random order in a meaningless expanse of space. Atleast it is an attempt to be honest and that is what appeals to me. Sometimes atheists have an axe to grind against a betrayer god, someone who has let a family member suffer or allowed huge losses at the stock market, even after heartfelt sacriments and prayers.
Othertimes, atheists are just being honest. They don’t feel the Presence of God (and who does, really?).
As a person with some spiritual experiences in life, I can personally say that materialism is flawed. But what do I know of God? Nothing.

merde.
razib is an islamophobe that thinks humans are too stupid to learn.
he said that and threw it down the memeory hole, but i saved it..
sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
/shrug
it is disturbing to see muslims here grovel for his favor while he sneers at them on the Secular Racists blog.

wikileaks was the last straw for me….
Assanges strategy is not so much anti-american as it is anti-conservatism.
Conservatism is the idea that human nature is immutable, so it must exploited and channeled rather than changed.
Razib has said that many many times.
Like Assange, i believe people can learn, can be educated. the founders believed that too. But modern conservatism is the empowerment of eumenes like homophobia, racism, anti-intellectualism, and anti-education in the service of “managing” human nature, ie keeping the people safe from themselves because they are too stupid to learn.
I must finally admit razib is my enemy because he is the enemy of truth and freedom.
it is hard because i loved him once.

further to your offtopiuc (and now deleted) comment on another thread, McK, i fail to see where shams claimed you used the word “isomorph”. (I also quibble with her use of the word, but thats my math major speaking).
shams 10:45 am on December 13, 2010 Permalink |
razib is ideologically isomorphic with the cudlips.
he has declared his avocation for (/sneer) conservatism many times.
how many times have you HEARD him spout that crap about about human nature?
meanwhile the diplo cables go drip drip drip.
Indoleaks.

be HONEST.
conservatism is nothing more than the idea that human nature is immutable, and therefore we can only use the same old crap that worked one time.
WL is the anti-conservatism– the idea that the base can be educated, can learn.

what is wrong with you people?
the US airforce just forbid its servicemen to read the NYT.
American citizen soldiers forbidden to read an american newspaper.
we are living in a {EDITED} police state.
dont you get it?
Assanges systemkiller is WAI.
His mission statement predicts that America will become a police state on its way to non-linear system collapse.
it CANNOT BE TURNED OFF.

Get used to it. We (America) had a good run. It is less stressful to think of America as a tribal entity. It isn’t. It is a global position. One that can easily be changed. The only problem are language skills. We should push for standardizing English as the world language.
Anyway, George Carlin saw it coming.

Aziz,
My apologies. Thank you for the edit. It was my error. I’m sorry.
