Dogma - a major hard drug

Oh! what a tangled web we weave
When first we practise to believe!

Dogma is a major hard and dangerous drug.

Sometimes even reality won't cure you off it. Just look at Harold Camping.

GAME OVER.

HAROLD CAMPING'S ROLLING FAILURE IS NOW OFFICIAL.

IT HAS BEEN 6PM NOW IN AT LEAST 3 TIMEZONES - SPANNING ALL OF KIRIBATI AND NEW ZEALAND - AND NO EARTHQUAKE GREATER THAN 6.0 HAS BEEN RECORDED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

THE "ROLLING EARTHQUAKE" IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.

HAROLD CAMPING IS NOW AND FOR THE REST OF HUMAN HISTORY OFFICIALLY A FRAUD.

MAY HIS MEDIA EMPIRE PERISH WITH HIS REPUTATION, and may the many he deceived have mercy on him.

PROP 8 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

We knew it - and now IT'S OFFICIAL!

As an Atheist, I OPPOSE THE BURNING OF THE QUR'AN and I CONDEMN THE "INTERNATIONAL BURN A QUR'AN DAY" called by the Dove World Outreach Center for 9/11 this year.

==============================

The Day of Silence is the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network's (GLSEN) annual day of action to protest the bullying and harassment of LGBT students and their supporters. Students take a day-long vow of silence to symbolically represent the silencing of LGBT students and their supporters.

The Day of Silence has been held each year in April since 1996. The 2010 Day of Silence will be held on April 16.

THIS CHANNEL JOINS THE US LGBT COMMUNITY ON SILENCE DAY 2010.

SUCCESS!!!
==============================

DOGMATISM of any sort is the real enemy for freethinkers in particular and mankind in general.

Deny nothing a priori - affirm nothing without evidence.

No negar nada a priori, no afirmar nada sin pruebas.

Ne rien nier a priori, ne rien affirmer sans preuve.

Felicidades, Ciudad de México, por tu primer matrimonio homosexual.
===========================
Congratulations to Mexico City for its first same-sex marriage.

I just got first blocked from a pseudoscientific channel - that of Creationist, IDer, and New-Age believer SeteAntigos7. He even has the gall to say he deletes comments "to prevent more stupidity without empirical support from spreading". The irony! =D

Also got blocked by SuperBoomboon for telling her(him?) this: that the author of Revelation using letters as numbers was a mystery (as SuperBoomboon claims it is) maybe to SuperBoomboon, but never to the Revelation's contemporary Greek readers because everyone used letters as numbers back then.

Someone can't handle the truth... and it ain't meeee! =D

Murió Mario Benedetti (14.9.1920-17.5.2009).

Pervivan en nuestra memoria sus mil versos.

PLEASE READ THIS:

"I also don't think that there is really a theory of intelligent design at the present time to propose as a comparable alternative to the Darwinian theory, which is, whatever errors it might contain, a fully worked out scheme. There is no intelligent design theory that's comparable. Working out a positive theory is the job of the scientific people that we have affiliated with the movement. Some of them are quite convinced that it's doable, but that's for them to prove...No product is ready for competition in the educational world."
- Philip Johnson, grandfather of the ID movement, in 2006.
