Christianity Verses Science - Christians Are Irrational |
Christians are irrational. They're so irrational, and they know it, that
they refuse to allow people to refer to Christianity in print.
Christian Science - an oxymoron.
Christians - morons.
Why are these institutions allowed tax exempt status, and why are they
allowed to participate in government?

No reason to worry, Pat. When it was realized males were far more
prone to crime than females did anyone want to sterilize or euthanize
you?

Yes, and there's no reason it can't end there as well, unless you
literally live in Hitler's Germany (sorry, the Evil Bush Regime (TM))

It's also interesting to change the person of the nouns:

giant skyscrapers, promising the people who lived there that they shall
now have a wonderful new housing complex to live in, then blowing up the
housing complex when some damn collectivist tries to put balconies on it

Never read the book, but saw the movie she made out of it; and Roark
came off as a complete *****.
The movie is an all-time camp classic, particularly watching Gary Cooper
say those wooden lines that you can tell he doesn't believe a word of,
and Patricia Neal coming across as a spoiled borderline pyscho.
The mistake the U.S. made with Ayn Rand was thinking "Communism bad; Ayn
Rand anticommunist = Ayn Rand good."
Later, we'd do this again: "Communism bad; Islamic Afghan rebels
anticommunist = Islamic Afghan rebels good." :-)
There's some pithy discussion of the movie over here:

A movie Ayn Rand wrote the script for and helped direct to express her
political/idealogical concepts.
Here's another bit of Randism, Rand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand
"In Atlas Shrugged, Rand writes that the "band on the wrist of [Dagny's]
naked arm gave her the most feminine of all aspects: the look of being
chained." This novel, along with Night of January 16th (1968) and The
Fountainhead (1943), features sex scenes with stylized erotic combat
that borders on rape. Rand herself noted that what The Fountainhead
clearly depicted was "rape by engraved invitation." In a review of a
biography of Rand, writer Jenny Turner opined, "the sex in Rand’s novels
is extraordinarily violent and fetishistic. In The Fountainhead, the
first coupling of the heroes, heralded by whips and rock drills and
horseback riding and cracks in marble, is ‘an act of scorn ... not as
love, but as defilement’ – in other words, a rape. (‘The act of a master
taking shameful, contemptuous possession of her was the kind of rapture
she had wanted.’ In Atlas Shrugged, erotic tension is cleverly increased
by having one heroine bound into a plot with lots of spectacularly cruel
and handsome men.)[17]"
In other words, this woman was _way_ into dominance and submission, with
some sadomasochism tossed in on the side for good measure.
Or to put it another way, she had serious sexual issues running around
inside her head.
Or yet another...this woman was seriously fucked-up in her head, and
should be trusted as a inspiration to rational thought about as much as
you'd trust any other person with serious psychological problems.
It's no wonder she's railing against "The Collective".
"_They_" know she's cracked.
But of course, she knows she's right and normal, and _they're_ the ones
with the mental problems.
Because they're all morons, and don't see the instinctive genius and
truth of her inspired insights.

One of the strangest, and unintentionally goofiest movies done outside
of "Gabriel Over The White House".
You could write entire scholarly articles regrading what['s going on in
the movie "The Fountainhead".
Meanwhile, back in little Jamestown, one of our banks has done a
redecoration involving one of the greatest architectural design clashes
ever seen by the eyes of man.
A Frank Lloyd Wright rectangular glazed front structure, combined with a
high art-moderne interior.
Circular disced lamps around five feet in diameter, that look like they
belong aboard the ocean liner "Normandy".
I wrote them a mash note about it; it's retro, and as long as it's
retro, I applaud it.
What really makes the outside windows fun is how the glazing is held
into them - be thousands of sheet metal screws with their heads exposed
to the outside of the building... which means it's theoretically
possible to get an electric power-driver, unscrew a glass panel out of
the bank's new front window from the outside, and gain access to the
bank's interior without the use of explosives.

I'd sure be tempted, but based on his own behavior, not that of males
in general. The fact that he did so himself probably *was* a big
favor to the world.

The critical distinction (and way to recognize) between the two
antisemitisms was that in case of the religion based antisemitism a Jew
always had the option to convert, at which point the persecution ended.
In the cse of the ethnic based antisemitism, there was no such escape
hatch. Jewish ancestry was an ethernal condemnation. And Nazi
antisemitism was of the second kind.
As is the modern Islamists. Pretty hard after all, to convert a "pig
and ape" to become human.

The flip side is that a lot of Jews after The Holocaust started to some

I'm saying that deciding you are something apart from all others, not
just by religion, but by things beyond that, is going to have
ramifications, both for yourself, and in how the world views you.
George Steiner, the author of "The Portage To San Cristobal of A.H."
brought that up when discussing his little book that hit Israel like a
sucker-punch to the stomach. If you go out of your way to state
constantly just how different you are from everyone else, don't be
surprised that others consider you very different from them when trouble
comes along:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9407E3D61638F931A35756C0A964948260
You want understanding or sympathy for your situation?
Forget it.
You're different from them.
You kept telling them so.

As a former Roman Catholic who actually studied me birth religion's
background, believe me their is quite enough to bash there.
Starting with the Spanish Inquestion...I wasn't expecting that.
However, I did get to engage in ritual religious cannibalism of a
deity's body several times, so at least I have that going for me.

Until fairly recently, all Christianity had a severe antisemitic streak
in it.
When I was being raised as a Roman Catholic, they were just getting over
the idea of Jews being tools of Satan at worst, and eternally damned to
Hell unless they converted at best.
As far as Germanic Christianity goes, Martin Luther was certainly no
friend of Judaism.
Regarding Islamic antisemitism, the poisoned lamb incident story
probably got the ball rolling on that:
http://answering-islam.org/Silas/mo-death.htm
Although that seems to be a mighty slow-acting poison if it took it
three years to kill him.

When was the last fatwa put out on someone for "offending"
Catholicism, Chrisitianity, or Judaism? Please cite.
Also, cite when the last mob of rioting Mennonites torched a town, or

You can't be that insulated from the real world by Sunday school dogma can
you? Wake up! You're just wrong here. Talk these things over with some
non-Christians.
I think if Christians had done any of those things recently, Roger, it
would have probably made the news.
You live in a bubble.
Aha. Then, I'm sure, you can provide evidence supporting your
assertions. right?

Now, let me explain some distinction, this between lawyerly

notices some small part of it that appears (when viewed in isolation
from the rest) to support his case and quotes it, ignoring the rest.
A scientist views somebody engaging in such practice as garbage. I'm
a scientist. I view you as garbage.
Gee, and I always thought scientists were careful not to make
overdrawn conclusions. I see little evidence to conclude that Pat,
himself, is "garbage".
Making such a statement may be evidence enough that you're a jerk,
however.
Hope this is clear.
Yup. Have a nice life. Bye.

You live in a bubble.
So you think it happened, but didn't make the news? Prove it.
Or, more likely, was it that you just didn't have anything else to say?
