WARNING: NOT IN FRONT OF THE KIDS "Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick I wanna take a ride on your disco stick Don’t think too much just bust that stick I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" — Lady Gaga Hey, doesn't that make you hot? Put some lustful thoughts into your mind? Is it fun? Is it cute when your kids sing it? Here, try some more: And baby when it’s love if it’s not rough it isn’t fun fun I want your ugly, I want your disease The only place you wanna be is underneath my Christmas tree, light me up with me on top lets falalalalalalala...my Christmas tree is delicious By the way, there seems to be some occult imagery in her material as well.  "Come on, Cowboy Bob! There are worse things out there!" No kidding? I had no idea. Guess what? There are far better things out there, too. Listen, I don't really care what people choose to put into their minds. If you want lust, nonsense, occult or what

Let Me Ax You Something Else

Edited Buon giorno.   In my business, keeping secrets is paramount. Sometimes when I send Lela and Nicky out to collect payments, they have no idea who they are calling on until they get most of the way there. But never mind about that now. For what I am about to say, I received no vig. Why should I? It's Open Source, and free. On another computer, I had a copy of AxCrypt by Axantum . This little dandy lets you encrypt your files so that nobody can get at them (even Hal the Hacker was impressed). You can make a self-extracting .EXE file and pass it along. This is quite different from TrueCrypt (also Open Source), which "mounts" a virtual drive on your computer, and knows how not to be seen. Bit of a steep learning curve for the details, though, but exceptionally secure. AxCrypt, in its default state, does not hide the fact that a file is encrypted. But so what? I was impressed earlier today when I found a leftover archived encrypted file (yeah, big words again, but

Science of the Gaps

Buon giorno. Almost seven months ago, I had an exchange with Zach, an atheist, in the comments of this post . (I also exchanged comments with an obstreperous atheist who only wanted to sneer, and I gave back what I was given. Interesting contrast.) Then, I continued the discussion by giving Zach his own post , so to speak. In essence, he wanted to know when believers stop using science and start inserting God as an explanation for observations. I struggled with my explanation because sometimes it becomes difficult for me to put something that I know into coherent words that other people can understand. But I think I did reasonably well. Since then, I have learned more about the faith of atheists. Yes, faith. There are presuppositions and conditions that many atheists use: There is no God, that is a fact. No, that is a statement of faith. It also violates logic. Everything must be explained through naturalism. This "rule" is essentially based on the above

Bravado Incarnate

Warning: If you click the links, you will be subjected to strong profanity. Buon giorno. Why is it that atheists cry, "Victory is mine!" like Stewie Griffin, even when they humiliate themselves? Some in my acquaintance could slam their hand in a car door and still claim that they won a debate with the car. One of the most obstreperous atheists (who does not believe in free speech link disabled ) that I have ever encountered took a challenge (for some reason, I get all the credit, but others challenged him as well) to call Matt Slick's radio show, Faith and Reason (now renamed to " Matt Slick Live ". He was angry that the "kiddie pool" at the "Please Convince Me" Weblog was not challenging enough. Surprisingly, he did not scream or use profanity, something that I fully expected him to do. The show was entertaining and interesting, to say the least. Unfortunately, he was typical of Internet atheists: Rude Arrogant Prideful

Is Atheism "More Rational"?

A letter from "T.B." of the UK illustrates the way that many atheists try to shift the goalposts of the debate in their favour. Dr Jonathan Sarfati , Creation Ministries International, Queensland, Australia responded to show that Christians need not play by self-serving new rules made up by their opponents.
