Conservative Insanity Syndrome

First things first: YOU stole MY story, I’m stealing YOURS! (I know it wasn’t the same subject matter in Ray Comfort’s case, but I was actually going to write on basically everything he did ;-; )

Anyway Michelle Malkin got an ad pulled from Dunkin Donuts for… what else… the notion that by wearing a scarf, the main person portrayed in the commercial must be a Nazi, or something. (The correct something is a terrorist, Islamic terrorist)

This really made me wonder: what the hell, Dunkin?

I have never heard of something as irresponsible as an entire ad being removed from circulation because of a scarf. I’ve also not heard it claimed very often that certain types of scarves are only warn by Islamic terrorists. I guess that’s the liberal media, at it again, brainwashing me to hate America.

Fuck Rhonda Storms

Florida state Senator Rhonda Storms has been in the atheist blogosphere a lot recently for her introduction of the much despised Academic Freedom bill.

Academic Freedom, as I’ve said prior, is nothing of the sort.

Academic Freedom is deceptively named. It is made to allow people to criticize evolutionary theory. This would be OK, but as we know evolution is a heated topic outside of the scientific community. Like any other theory (including gravity!) we will never know everything about it. By teaching what we don’t know instead of what we do, this opens the doors for people to ask why we’re teaching it if there is so much doubt.

This, as we know, leads to people calling for: alternatives. There is no alternative to evolution except the religious and non-scientific intelligent design.

The Discovery Institute is using their failure of a film, Expelled, to plug their Academic Freedom bills.

That should tell you something. An intelligent design lobbying group is using an intelligent design film to plug a bill about “academic freedom.” Everything is going together to get intelligent design in schools, and people like fucking Rhonda Storms know this. That’s why they support it.

Storms refused to answer repeated direct questions from senate Democrats as to whether teachers would be permitted to teach intelligent design under her bill and whether she believes that intelligent design meets its criteria for ‘scientific information’.

From Wikipedia.

It’s clear that the discovery institute knows what it’s doing and Rhonda Storms does too. The problem is that it’s illegal and dishonest. These good Christian people are really, really going to hell.

Again: Fuck Rhonda Storms.

We’ve got a new person on the list.

1. Kirk Cameron
2. Dr. Jason Lisle
3. Lee Strobel
4. Ray Comfort
5. Rhonda Storms

Let’s all bathe in ignorance, shall we?

Ending the day of Saturday, May 24th, and looking ahead to Monday, May 26th for the new Venom record entitled “HELL”, I would like to ask a question to all my atheistic readers: let’s try to understand them.

Some of us have been christians, muslims, et cetera, and then… grew up. We realized, whether wrong or right, that life doesn’t require fairytales to explain, nor does the complexity of it, or existence of the universe at all. I concede that I myself do not know everything. I also concede that science doesn’t. But we (science and I) do know quite a lot.

For example: did you know that sandcastles, airplanes, and likewise are absolutely nothing like human DNA? Did you know that they’re made in no way similar to how we’re ‘created’?

Well, let’s forget all of this science hogwash, and take our journey into the realm of creationism.

Banana: Proof of creationism.

I think I should keep this one short since everyone will realize how absurd this is without much explanation, so here you go…

Lee Strobel: Ex-Atheist or just ignorant?

I was watching some Youtube clips from people similar to Kirk Cameron and his buddy Ray Comfort (who I’ll be blogging on shortly), and I found one of my favorite Creationist loons: Lee Strobel!

Welcome to Facebook, we’d prefer you dead!

I got my reply:

Hi,

Your account has been disabled because your affiliation with your high school network was not successfully confirmed within 60 days of joining Facebook.  We take this policy very seriously, since network verification is one of the best ways to ensure that our site remains safe from abuse.  Unfortunately, you will not be able to regain access to your account. This decision is final.

Thanks for your understanding,

Alyssa
User Operations
Facebook

Thanks, Alyssa, for keeping a user banned because they don’t have the mental capacity to stay in a public school. Thanks, Alyssa, for not realizing that people who are homeschooled are in the millions. Thanks, Alyssa, for not understanding that the reason I’m not in school is due to underlying mental issues.

I’ve had socialization problems forever. Being around people gave me panic attacks. There’s much more that I’d rather not get into.

Clearly, Facebook is made up of incompetent fools.

Oh well. No one cares about one person being done wrong, so when this happens to Kevin Rose’s child, then it’ll be frontpage news on Digg.

Someone doing what, where?

On WordPress, there are many cool features. How many hits you get per day are tracked, how many hits per article, and where they come from.

Usually my hits come from other blogs or out of thin air. Sometimes I’ll get a search or two (yesterday was a record day with about 20 searches), and sometimes I’ll get an interesting one.

Like this.

That’s right. Someone searched… that… and found my blog. Thanks, internet, for yet another sleepless night.

Welcome to Facebook! We’re glad you’re here.

Such a quaint greeting, isn’t it?

They weren’t too glad I was there when they banned me this morning just for existing outside of societal norms. That’s right, I was banned on Facebook.

This morning, the 19th of May, I decided to send out a global message asking users to send people to my atheism group. We were in need of forty at that time to get to one thousand members, and had two days in which to do it. Well, for our two month anniversary of creation.

Shortly after sending the message, probably not more than thirty minutes later, I got an email saying someone was adding me as a friend on Facebook. So I go to confirm this random person as a friend and get the message that my account has now been permanently disabled. A second person tries to add me anyway somehow.

What went wrong? Why did this happen?

The fatal flaw was this: when I joined, I was going to join under no network because I’m homeschooled and have been since 2002. I selected high school first to see if there was a network for homeschooled people, and there wasn’t. So I selected no network and tried to join only to end up not being able to. So on a whim I selected the local high school and went ahead. That was about two months ago, I believe.

I ignored the message for a while thinking nothing would happen, but clearly did. I thank Facebook for giving me good warning time and giving me plenty of time to get confirmed or realign myself with another school that I also don’t go to. But that’s not good enough.

My account, which I put dozens of hours into working on, is now gone. My founder status in my group stripped from me (though I remain admin on the group under my new account, pseudonym Kirk Hayden), and all my friends left clueless as to what happened.

This is, quite frankly, an outrage.

Facebook is often called the more mature version of MySpace, it’s better designed, better coded, and better ran. Of course, its rules and requirements are absolute balls. You can’t register under a fake name? That struck me as odd.

I’m not sure what I can say really, except for homeschoolers should be given their own option. It would be easy to put in, and wouldn’t alienate over one million of us in the US alone.

I like Facebook, but this is a bit annoying. One thought that keeps running through my head is the thought that someone on Facebook staff must’ve laughed and said it was my fault for registering in a school I don’t go to when I sent them an email, but it’s not my fault that I’m about 1/300th of the American population in terms of what group I belong to.

How disappointing.

If anyone wants to add me, my new account is now on the side again, and my atheism group is as well. Le sigh.

Reading Answers in Genesis: Probably easier when high.

Every Christian goes bananas for Answers in Genesis — and with good reason! Answers in Genesis is yet another thing most religious folks can read (and not understand) that sounds scientific and sounds sophisticated but is nothing of the sort. With my uncle Chuck, who is an avid follower of Answers in Genesis, he said that they confirm the Bible’s truth and it ‘makes sense’.

What Answers in Genesis was he reading?

Lying for Jesus: Kirk Cameron Edition

Bullshit.

The claim that archeoraptor is a fake is completely true — no BS there. But what they won’t mention is other “missing links” like Archaeopteryx. Hell, they also won’t mention things like Tiktaalik, Archaeothyris, or Ambulocetus, but it’s probably safe to say they don’t believe in any of them.

There’s a very tentative list of transitional fossils at Wikipedia that shows that there is certainly one or more transition out there.

What they fail to mention is that archaeoraptor wasn’t even thought to be anything by the scientific community because no one had even studied it. Once someone got the chance to study it, the fossil was quickly found out to be fake. Fake in the sense that the fossil hunter had likely placed the bones of two species together unknowingly. This all happened in less than one year. Archaeopteryx, on the other hand, has been known since 1862 and is most definitely not a fake.

For more information on archaeoraptor, click here.

Kirk Cameron is a failure, added to the list of many who have been quickly proven wrong with some simple knowledge. In fact, I’ve never heard one convincing creationist argument against evolution — and with good reason — because there isn’t one.

I’m making a list of the creationist failures. This can be considered post one of the series, so congrats to our number one:

1. Kirk Cameron

SCIENCE!

Also, Darwinism doesn’t exist. Any atheist involved in evolutionary theory would know this, plus the guy at the end was looking at something a few different times that seemed to catch his interest. He was reading from a teleprompter. Yeah, failure.
