Letter from Hell - How to make an atheists our of agnostics

Posted in Religion, Video on January 25th, 2008 by moody

These kind of videos are used to convert agnostic kids to a new-born Christians. I am warning you that video is disturbing to watch so do it at your own risk. I mean to me it’s disturbing in a really Tom Cruise-Scientology kind of funny way, but you might find different kind of disturbing.

Now, some of you might think this is a repulsive, disgusting and should be banned, but I have a different theory. If a Christian sends this kind of videos to a kid he wants to convert. Let him! If this video does not make that kid realize what “true bullshit” is, then nothing will and he deserves to be gullible and dumb. These kind of videos are actually great tool to make people realize just what kind of bullshit religion really is. It will have opposite effect than what religions hordes expect.

Reason why you cannot argue with creationist.

Bible’s literalism (at its worst)

Posted in Religion on January 14th, 2008 by moody

I was just wondering if we allow people like this to procreate.

HAYDEN, Idaho — A man who believed he bore the “mark of the beast” used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called 911, authorities said.

The man, in his mid-20s, was calm when Kootenai County sheriff’s deputies arrived Saturday in this northern Idaho town. He was in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Center.

“It had been somewhat cooked by the time the deputy arrived,” sheriff’s Capt. Ben Wolfinger said. “He put a tourniquet on his arm before, so he didn’t bleed to death. That kind of mental illness is just sad.”

It was not immediately clear whether the man has a history of mental illness. Hospital spokeswoman Lisa Johnson would not say whether an attempt was made to reattach the hand, citing patient confidentiality.

The Book of Revelation in the New Testament contains a passage in which an angel is quoted as saying: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury.”

The book of Matthew also contains the passage: “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for you whole body to do into hell.”

Latest from Mr. Condell’s library. Pat Robertson, Bible and of course God are on today’s menu. What is strange is that there are still people in the world watching and believing in Pat Robertson as if he is a decent human being.

Mostar - City still divided

Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina 2007

mostar2.jpg

My brother is in Bosnia and Herzegovina currently doing research for his dissertation. He lives in our native city of Mostar. There is no war or fighting since 1995 and city fell into what I call “post war coma”. Meaning, nobody cares about anything. Everyone minds its own business. No one rushes to do anything. If you are tourist or a stranger, you would not notice any national tensions. Or would you? Story below is a testament that city is still psychologically divided between Muslims and Catholics and my brother experienced it first hand.
Last week he got caught up in the middle of hooligan fight between soccer fans, and this is a short story of his experience in his own words.

Religion brutality

Posted in Religion on May 4th, 2007 by moody

Jennifer-in-Hell.jpg For all of you who think that Islam or Christianity is peaceful religion here are some excerpts from the Quran and Bible.
These are the verces that you will not hear in the church or masque. Just to show you how all religions are absurd.

Lets start with Quran:

Quran brutality

-Then he ordered for [sic] nails which were heated and [the tribesmen] were branded with those nails, their eyes, and they were left in the Harra (i.e. rocky land in Al-Madina). And when they asked for water, no water was given them till they died . . . . (Bukhari, Book of Jihad, no. 3018; cf. online source)

-When the Apostle of Allah . . . cut off (the hands and feet of) those who had stolen his camels and he had their eyes put out by fire (heated nails), Allah reprimanded him on that (action), and Allah, the Exalted, revealed: “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is execution or crucifixion.” (Abu Dawud, no. 4357)

-The Quran in Sura 7:124 says through the mouth of Pharaoh: “Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on apposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross.” (Yusuf Ali)

-Here is the torture that Muhammad permitted: When he [Muhammad] asked him about the rest, he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders . . . “Torture him until you extract what he has,” so [the torturer] kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead.

Cure from Delusion - 11 Steps to rational thinking

Posted in Religion, Video on February 17th, 2007 by moody

critical_bnr.jpg I am going to post 11 short (5-10 min each) videos and call them “Cure from Delusion - 11 Steps to rational thinking”
Why I am calling it like that? When you watch them you will know. I am agnostic and I was never a believer in Biblical God or God of any other faith, and I go by the code: Militant Agnostic - I don’t know and neither do you.
Purpose of these videos is to help you reach a “normal” state of mind and cure you from delusions and illusions, and help you use your brain for what it is maid for: “Critical Thinking” and “Common Sense”.
If you believe in biblical God you probably have lot of questions and I know lot of you are having doubts about the whole thing but you are afraid to admit it, and if you live in United States or Middle East, I don’t blame you. These videos are guaranteed to answer lot of them and after watching these videos you still have doubts then I am afraid you only have two choices:
1. Watch additional videos that are provided in this post
2. Or seek professional help. They might have pills to help cure you from delusion.

Here you go:

All videos can be found at the following site.
whywontgodhealamputees.com

If you still delusional after watching all 11 videos please watch following videos:

George Carlin on religion

George Carlin on 10 Commandments

Richard Dawkings Q&A’s from The God Delusion book discussion

Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion BBC Interview

Sam Harris on belief at Idea City 05

Pen and Teller about Bible

Michael Shermer - Why People Believe Weird Things

Johnatan Miller - Interview with Philosopher Colin Mcginn (Really awsome)

Johnathan Miller - Interview with Steven Weinberg

And of course to top all of this pick up the Richard Dawkins excellent book “The God Delusion”. Every question you have about God or faith pretty much can be found in the book and answered with logic and common sense only Dawkins knows how to deliver.
There are many many more but these should do and remember: I don’t know and neither do you.
Give your neurons run for their money and start the process of the critical thinking or at least common sense. If you don’t like any of the videos above BITE ME!!!
