Is This What They Call “Tolerance”?

A couple of things this time around. First, the Christian fish symbol ichthus is getting out of hand. Not so much by Christians, our symbol is ancient and uncluttered: Then someone decided to essentially raise a middle finger to it and make a Papa Darwin version, as seen in the cartoon at the top. Yes, I know they're out of order, I wanted to lead with a colorful 'toon, OK? Anyway, someone even more clever hit back with "Truth": I should get got one of those! My earlier "out of hand" remark is because there are many more designs available. Several are marketed toward obstreperous atheists, and some are marketed toward sci-fi loving virgin geeks. Even more can be had. Clutter! So anyway. This is an appropriate celebration of getting my autographed copy of The Lie: Evolution by Ken Ham replaced. EDIT: Now revised and expanded !   Here is an article from "Answers in Genesis": In today’s seculari

Bin Laden was a Harmless Old Man

This harmless old man only had one crime: Cheering for the attacks on America. Other than that, he never bothered anyone. Anyone who believes that rubbish needs his medication adjusted. This news just in: Just before his death, Osama bin Laden told London sleeper cells to carry out attacks. Read more here . Also linked here . Addendum: B. Hussein Obama says that bin Laden wasn't a Muslim leader. Yeah, sure. Only Obama Zombies believe that tripe! Well, the question has been raised: If he wasn't a Muslim leader, why was he buried at sea within twenty four hours ? By the way it adds fuel to my own fire that B. Hussein Obama is a closet Muslim , what with giving the carcass such dignities. Did you know that with slain murderers, the ceremonies are often postponed because of post mortems? Yup, I'm still a bit suspicious.

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?

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

Larry Gets Life in Prison after Murdering Family for Rejecting Islam : "A man who was angry that his family would not go along with his conversion to Islam was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday in the slayings of his mother, pregnant wife, infant son and two nieces in a rampage last year on the South Side."
