General blogging...

It's quite sad really with this whole Christmas thing. If we were to reject religion and become a properly secular nation, it would mean that there would be no more Christmas. Although the thought is deeply saddening, I dont think it'll happen anyway, and what with the Christmas hype building around now, I think it'd be a great time to list what I want. So alas, being a spoilt bastard, I would like :

• A subscription to The Economist
• A subscription to The Guardian
• A subscription to Private Eye
• Membership to The National Secular Society
• This little fellow
• Dawkin's "The God Delusion"
• A print of this
• A t-shirt from The Perry Bible Fellowship

And finally, if anyone can get me a hoodie, that'd be great...

God damn it's been slow today. Luckily. I've got my 360 back so I'll be kicking ass again. I've also been doing well on the Holah website ("teh" tests), and hopefully I'll be getting some sort of book to dismantle creationism.

Ho ho ho, and a merry Christmas to all!

"Teh" creationists....

By the way, I am aware of the number of spelling mistakes here. Will correct later.

Right, seems that I recieved a comment from a quite rare type of person: A creationist.

He made a comment on my Answers In Genesis entry, along with the link for his blog, which tries to put down evolution. It was filled with the usual arguements that a creationist would use, so I decided to leave a comment on one of his entries. Of course, being as creationists get really stubborn online, I had to be in their "team" to comment (I assume this was because they do not like it when people leave comments that disagree with their theories).

Because of this, I'm going to post up the comment here, for all to see. It isn't the most professional of comments, but none-the-less, hopefully it'll kickstart a debate.

Here goes:

Hello, saw your link.

Intolarence against religion?
Far from it. I assume you're living in America right? Athiests are the most distrusted group in the US, more than gays/lesbians, blacks, Muslims, Mormons etc.

The problem with creationsim is that bases it's entire theory on a book that is thousands of years old. We do not even know who wrote it. Science doesn't base theories and hypothesises on a biased source. Scientists didn't hope that the results would be like this.

Creationists take the belief that the Earth is between six-twelve thousand years old. This is a huge contrast between the billions of years that science has dug up. Along with the fact that the creationist theory is biased upona dated book, and it becomes pretty clear which theory I'd prefere.

Also, I'd like to point out that many scientists are not out of disprove God, but they try to find out what is true, if I have put that correctly. I got the feeling from your blog that if a person rejests creationism, then they also reject God as well. A good friend of mine is a devout Christian, yet he rejects creationism...

I'm not trying to start a flame war, but I'd like it if you were open to people's ideas and beliefs. I was a Christian for roughly two years perhaps, so it isn't like I'm a biased athiest trying to a picka fight with you for the sake of it (probably). Anyway, hope to debate with you in the future...

Please visit his blog and try to start a discussion with him. Should be interesting, no doubt about that...

George, the lovable Satanist.

I've decided to lash out at another group in the whole social networking scene. It actually surprised me that the group is such a small sub-culture. This is the Satanist subculture of course.

The Satanists on social networking sites differ from the emo and goth subcultures as they are more likey to use capitalisation and grammar for their profiles (well, the ones I've seen). You also notice rather quickly that they try to pass themselfs as the essence of evil, despite the fact that they probably have quite a nice middle-class lifestyle, getting spoiled off their ass by their liberal parents.

However, every now and then, the Satanist slips up, perhaps by adding a few unnecessary smilies or listing a really mainstream pop band under the music section. If the social networking site is Bebo, the Satanist's friends will often put pictures of penises, smilie faces or rainbows on the whiteboard, much to the Satanist's dismay. It must be hard to give the impression that you're the incarnate of evil when you have such cheery and optimistic friends.

Anyway, introducing George, the lovable Satanist:

Happy birthday!

This is for Katie's birthday. It involves me being really cool, so you know it's going to be good. Even better, I found out how to put it on here, so without further ado, happy birthday Katie!



By the way, I know how annoying it is when you go onto someone's blog and they mention people that you've never heard of before, and probably wont ever hear about them again. Because of this, if this is the first time you've visited my blog, here is a list of people you could pretend I'm talking about:

• Katie Melua
• Katie Holmes
• Katie Price
• Katie Griffin

New stat counter on here.

I've just added a stat counter from SiteMeter out of curiosity. Looks pretty good.

My guide to fantasy worlds (Part three)

I can’t actually remember the story to the first parts of the trilogy, so I’m going to have a load of plot holes in this final chapter. So please bear with me…

_____________________________________

What happens to me (Part three)

Right, me, Steve, Will, Albert and our female sidekicks have defeated a massive 250,000 goblin army within a couple of hours, due to Bad-Ruler’s crazy antics. Sophie was decapitated, which upsets me a bit. We decide to cremate her, but due to the fact that I need cheering up, the body explodes the moment the flame touches the body, and the last goblin warrior is littered with shrapnel. Albert makes another wise-crack, and we all laugh merrily, forgetting about my former lover’s death. We then carry on into the night.

Bad-Ruler is becoming more and more crazy by the minute, so he decides to confront us personally. He jumps onto his giant duck-horse hybrid and heads off towards our final destination, which is called Hat. Hat is supposedly the place where “the ancients” used to live, so it seems like a good place to finish the story.

Its now almost full moon, and we’ve decided to set up camp. I was going to invite this one girl into my sleeping bag, but it turned out to my surprise that she had very crooked teeth, a very moody personality and bad hair. She also has three heads. Luckily, Albert has been using her third head as a punch bag for quite a while now. It’s quite funny, and now that I think about it, the third head hasn’t been moving recently. I think its dead. Still, even with that to smirk about, I’m still worried about what will happen to me and my friends. The fortune teller (who fought with us in the battle) told us that someone close to me will die, and I wont know who it is until it happens. Life sucks sometimes, but at least Bad-Ruler will die.

Anyway, Bad-Ruler has now got a four million man army to destroy us all. He sees this as a victory, even though you know he is going to die. He arrives at Hat to prepare for the greatest battle of all time…If he thinks he has a good enough army, it is going to be a laugh for him reading the next paragraph….

…As at this point I would like to point out that my story is better than other fantasy epics as my story has a battle with one billion creatures in the end. One Billion! That means his four million man army is going to have to face 996,000,000 soldiers from my team! Trust me, he is in for a very pleasant surprise…

In case you were wondering, we met the 996,000,000 people in an isolated settlement somewhere in the north. I’m so clever, I don’t know how I didn’t think of it until now. Also, if you think that we just casually asked them to join our side and fight to the death, and they just happily agreed, that’s exactly what happened. Sad really.

Anyway, we see Bad-Ruler and his troops on some big field. We all high five, and quickly reminisce about how we all met up and all the good times we have had. We know we may die, so we are very nervous, and even though nine hundred and ninety six million people are ready to fight to the death on our side, they’re still very small (about two feet tall) and haven’t had any food for a couple of days. Still, we decide to fight them, and we rain down arrows on them. Bad-Ruler’s army charges at us, and we brace for impact, knowing full well that the forces of good will prevail over his evil army.

Eight minutes later and pretty much everyone is dead, with the exception of say the LAN crew and Bad-Ruler. The goofy girl with three heads has been cut in half, and although the situation is tense, I think we were all a bit relieved when the axe sliced through her like a knife through butter. Bad-Ruler smiles, he knows he has won. After all, if his could defeat 99.06% more people than him, then surely he could take out four young adults, right?

Wrong! All of us run at him, ready for blood. He never knew what hit him, and sure enough, he dies. After realising how easy we survived in this story, we are suddenly teleported back into our school, in the middle of the dinner hall in the school. Of course, four people suddenly teleporting into a room doesn’t go unnoticed. Rather than running away screaming or what ever, everyone crowds around us in exited chatter. My confised brother, who is staring up at us with wide eyes whilst eating a sandwich looks up at us happily and says:

“ …What happened to you guys?”

“You don’t want to know, and that’s the truth (I smile and wink at the camera).”

Just when you think that the movie ends with that happy remark, "brother" starts getting really annoyed with my reply, and keeps yapping at me about why I gave such a shoddy reply, and keeps questioning me about why I'm not talking. In the end, I tell him to shut up, causing him to have a tantrum. He then punches me in the mouth, causing me to drop to the floor. I get up, blood everywhere, and trip up on a slippery floor. Relising my credibility has now gone, I crawl out the dinner hall and catch the bus home.

The end

____________________________________

Yeah, I really was hoping that the story was going to be better than that, but really I cant be bothered to give it depth. Oh well, gave it a shot, and I've seen worse stories, so three cheers to me!

Anyway, back to ranting...

Fucking idiots...

Go to Amazon, look at Dawkin's new book "The God Delusion" and look at the reviews...

Suspicious isn't it? At time of writing, the book has two and a half stars, but to look closer at the reviews, or the reviewers, you tend to notice that the ones who gave the book a very poor verdict are coincidentely alligned to a faith... You also notice that most of them dont give a justification for why its such an awful book, other than "One billion people heart Jesus for a reason". The bit which pisses me off the most, and I quote:

"Seeing as he's such a champion of science in the face of the supernatural, and states that religion is the cause of so many wars, why is it that the largely 'secular' and 'pro-scientific' west predominantly has all the weapons of mass destruction? (Built by scientists, might I add)."

And....

"In the valley of the blind, the one eyed man is either a king or a freak.

Dawkin's is neither, but suffers from the classic problematic symptom of man, either secular or religious, namely: 'Thinking they know'."

What a fucking cunt. I'm guessing this person didn't even read the book. What a twat. Makes me want to beat some small animal. If anyone could buy a copy of the book, give it the proper (good) score, and then say why the negative viewers are so shit, that'd be great...

...Still waiting....
