If we have not "met" or subbed, please do NOT send a FRIEND invite.

I am putting mirrors on a separate channel.

Does this sound like an accurate synopsis of a familiar tactic of argumentation?:
"If someone brought an elephant through that door and I said 'That's an elephant', someone would say, 'That's an inference. It could be a mouse with a glandular condition'." ~ Congressman William Hungate of Missouri, during the Watergate hearings (1973)
About Me:
 
"Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved." ~ Tim Minchin

Faith is the determination to remain ignorant in the face of all evidence that you are ignorant. ~ Shaun Mason

"Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones." ~ Bertrand Russell

"One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it." ~ Bertrand Russell

"Most of the greatest evils that man has inflicted upon man have come through people feeling quite certain about something which, in fact, was false." ~ Bertrand Russell

"When I think of all the harm [the bible] has done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it." ~ Oscar Wilde

"God is love, but get it in writing." ~ Gypsy Rose Lee

My primary intellectual need is to understand. I am a science-educated liberal, secular humanist, and strong-atheist who has become increasingly dismayed and angered by the anti-humanist bigotry displayed by fundamentalist religious dogmatists.

Thanks, but no thanks. The joy of YT is that it is viewer-directed. I am not interested in being bombarded with unsolicited material or opinions. That is why I selected the "friends only" option.

I want to send you a detailed response to your response on a comment I made on one of rozeboosje's videos, but you have friend lock enabled. All friends eventually become dry wells for new ideas. Anyways, I think that you'll find it interesting. You're more than welcome to check out my channel first.

O.k., I see:) I mistakenly thought it was you in your highlighted video.

Great channel....excellent!

Your comments are awesome! Unreal to think that at your young age how intelligent you are. You seriously don't know how good it makes me feel to know that there will be people like you fighting the good fight when us "older" ones are gone...lol. Seriously though, I mean that. You're exceptional.

Thanks, OC. Killing animals or threatening humans to protect a scam is absolutely disgusting. It's reminiscent of "The Godfather" or "Fatal Attraction". All cults should be exposed and their "captives" freed.

What kind of a "church" records confessionals for purposes of blackmail? Judge Paul Breckenridge, in Church of Scientology of California vs. Gerald Armstrong, noted that Mary Sue Hubbard (plaintiff in that case) "authored the infamous order 'GO 121669' which directed culling of supposedly confidential P.C. [Preclear] files/folders for the purposes of internal security ... for purposes of intimidation and/or harassment".

What kind of religious organization kills pets?

Former CoS agent Steve Fishman confirms that CoS attorney Ken Moxon ordered OSA agents Lenny Leibowitz and Clarice Guidice to drown a dog. Through a coordinated effort, Lenny and Clarice managed to arrive at Judge Ronald Swearinger's (Scientology vs Wollersheim) house. Lenny threw the Collie "Duke" into the pool and "sat on the dog" until the dog drowned.




As of May 30, Boris Korczak's 6 month old puppy was poisoned.

I'm glad we came to some sort of understanding through YouTube comments. It is this sort of communication that I like. While I disagree with you about what you believe cults to be, the fact that you listened to what I had to say is something I enjoyed. I'll subscribe to you.

Like you with creationists, Scientologists on YouTube have been abusing the YouTube system and filing false DMCA claims, so I find it interesting we share a lot in common. Subscribing.

Thanks for subscribing. One of my most sarcastic videos yet is uploading right now.
