Atheists, Hitler and the No True Scotsman Fallacy

Image
It is truly baffling to me when atheists want to "give" Hitler to Christianity. And they do it with gleeful self-humiliation. "Why is it self-humiliation, Cowboy Bob?" Most atheists that I have encountered, especially on the Internet, fallaciously declare themselves to be the intellectual elite, simply by virtue of being atheists. (Ridiculous, I know.) Yet these bastions of enlightenment commit logical fallacies freely and frequently. They also do not know how to correctly identify fallacies. Hitler supposedly claimed to be a Christian (but his "Christianness" is easily refuted ). When a Christian says, "Hitler was not a real Christian", the misotheist will scream, "AHA! The 'No True Scotsman Fallacy'". Except that he's dead wrong , and has embarrassed himself by incorrectly attempting to use a logical principle. Remember, don't fear the atheist. They have a great deal of bravado, but even a cursory knowledge of

Took down the last one and reworked it. Sorry for the inconvenience. At least, it's short. People are so consumed by hate, they're stupidified. Motto: "Where people mercifully free of the ravages of thought gather for support and group hugs". First, I want you to see this annotated bit (click to enlarge) from the creationist-hating group at the British Centre for Scientism and Evolutionism: Now, a screen shot of the actual post that was disingenuously, incompletely cited : Once again, I must remind my friends, acquaintances, agents and associates that I don't want to know about this stuff. Even though I did like showing their lack of fact checking and outright dishonesty.

Free Royalty Free Music

And now for something completely different. While researching material on background music for videos, podcasts and whatnot, my edjamacation has increased dramatically. Sure, you can get "royalty free" music. But you still have to pay for it; the only thing free is that you don't have to pay royalties. There are several sites that have this kind of music available. The people at " Partners in Rhyme " have some good material. If you want to avoid getting into legal trouble (or having YouTube mistakenly identify music you've uploaded as belonging to someone else, which has happened to me), get the royalty free stuff that you can run with to your heart's content. They also have some free samples, as well as sound effects. Don't be misled, they are not indicative of the material that you can buy (I almost wanted to start a podcast to tack onto the music!), but there are some gems here that can be pretty good for special projects.

This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it! — Rodney Dangerfield in "Caddyshack" I tried to tell people before, but did they listen? Noooooooo! What is it, really? morgueFile/MaxStraeten So I'll say it again, and appeal to the wallet instead of ethics: This is not the kind of economy for businesses to be cheap! There are reports of horse meat in various products [ 1 , 2 ] ("contanimated" is such a strong word...it's just not what people paid for) and speculation that the merchants are cutting corners. "Generic" or "store brand" items thaqt were formerly comparable (and sometimes superior) to their name-brand counterparts are getting less desirable ; t he name-brand products are often reducing quality themselves. Customer service? In many cases, fuggedaboudit! Little to no help. You have to learn how to work that gadget yourself. Restaurants that water down the soup? How cheap can you get?
