But Seriously, Folks.

It doesn't really matter how much you argue with someone who believes in Creationism since it is a "no win" situation!

Darwinists have nothing but evidence to present while the Creationists "believe" they know the truth, so "to hell with you!!!!

The same could be said about all the conspiracy nuts who claim;

1. JFK was killed in a plot by the Cubans, or the CIA.
2. We didn't really go to the moon.
3. The World Trade Center disaster was a conspiracy!
4. JFK was killed by the Teamsters, or the Mob, or the Russians.

Ever since the twin towers came down, conspiracy nuts have gone to town, pouring over photos and "youtube" videos in an attempt to prove that the global Salafi Jihad movement wasn't responsible for the attacks, and that some unspecified agents - usually the government, Jews, CIA or some combination of the above - were.

In spite of all the conspiracy websites in existence though, not one has managed to come up with any definitive evidence that contradicts the official story.

I don't really want to go through the whole 9/11 nonsense here, but inspired by my general annoyance at the topic, I thought I'd present a little run down of the top ten photos conspiracy theorists don't want to deal with (click the photos to see larger versions).

I don't claim that this page somehow proves the official story to be right, nor that it proves conspiracy theories wrong, but it gives some neat examples of why it's hard to take some of these people seriously.

1. Flight 77 wreckage (from the landing gear) at the Pentagon. Conspiracy theorists used to argue that no plane ever hit the Pentagon, claiming that there was no visible debris at the site. They seem to have retreated from this claim in the last couple of years.

2. Debris from the Twin Towers falling onto WTC7. Many conspiracy theorists still believe that fires and debris couldn't have reached WTC7 (the tall building lower-right) to inflict significant damage, claiming that WTC7 must have been subjected to a controlled demolition.

3. WTC6 lies in ruins. Conspiracy theorists have also argued that WTC7 couldn't have been struck by debris since WTC6 - which lies between the twin towers and WTC7 - "wasn't that damaged". Note that the center has entirely collapsed. In spite of evidence like this, and reports from fire-fighters, who used instruments to measure the gradual movement and distortion of WTC7's structure over several hours up until its collapse, Truthers still prefer to believe that a controlled demolition occurred.

4 & 5. Fires rage in WTC5 and WTC6.
Many conspiracy theorists refuse to accept that fire could have spread to WTC7, even though fires clearly raged across much of the WTC complex.

6. Plume from the Flight 93 Crash. As witnesses looked on, Mrs McClatchey took this shot from her porch. Ever since, conspiracy theorists have harassed and threatened her, even anonymously posting her phone number and photos of her home on blogs. They claim that the evidence must be faked, as it is inconsistent with their theory that a missile brought down the aircraft. (which would have resulted in fragments of the plane coming down over a wide area), and have subjected Mrs McClatchey to a torrent of abuse.

7. A seat belt from the wreckage of Flight 93. Hundreds of volunteers spent days and weeks combing the area, collecting wreckage amounting to virtually the entire plane, now in the possession of the airline (with the exception of the black boxes which are held by air safety officials. Some conspiracy theorists believe that all of the local residents in the area are liars, along with all the airline workers, local police and emergency services, coroners, and air safety experts involved in the operation to recover the aircraft, and the analysis of flight data and materials recovered.

8. Sagging floors in WTC2. As the heat in the towers increase, steel supports were weakened causing buckling, as evidenced by the sagging floor visible here. This weakening led to the structural failure of the building. Conspiracy theorists claim that the buildings should have survived these structural failures, and believe that thousands of explosive charges were rigged inside the building, with a control system to detonate them somehow surviving the impact and fires.

9. Workmen cutting beams in the wreckage. Conspiracy theorists are for some reason obsessed with the idea that thermite was used in 9/11, in spite of the fact that thermite is used for cutting and welding, and never in demolitions (indeed, it would be practically impossible to set it up). They cite neatly cut beams as evidence of thermite being used, but ignore the fact that beams were neatly cut up by workmen operating after the collapse.










10. Debris out-paces the collapse of the tower. Many conspiracy theorists claim that the World Trade Center towers fell equal to (or ludicrously faster than) free-fall speeds. Many photos clearly show falling debris out-pacing the collapse of the building, proving that the structures fell at well below free-fall speeds.

Ultimately this sort of blogging is an exercise in futility. There is no evidence, no matter how convincing, that will ever be accepted by the 9/11 "Truth" Movement's hardcore evangelists. The irony is that the people who claim to be searching for the truth are so willing to ignore evidence and react angrily to those with conflicting evidence and testimony.

Anal Sex in Accordance with God's Will

Are you saving yourself for your wedding night? The Devil wants you to fail, that’s why he puts stumbling blocks in your way.

But God wants you to succeed, and that’s why he has given us an alternative to intercourse before marriage: anal sex.

Through anal sex, you can satisfy your body’s needs, while you avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy and still keep yourself pure for marriage.

You may be shocked at first by this idea. Isn’t anal sex (sodomy) forbidden by the Bible? Isn’t anal sex dirty?

What’s the difference between having anal sex before marriage and having regular intercourse? Let’s address these issues by debunking some myths about anal sex and God's will.

“I thought the Bible said anal sex was a sin.”

This is a common misconception. Anal sex is confusing to many Christians because of the attention paid to the Bible’s condemnation of homosexual acts.

However, it’s important to realize that these often quoted scriptures refer only to sexual acts between two men. Nowhere does the Bible forbid anal sex between a male and female.

In fact, many Biblical passages allude to the act of anal sex between men and women. Lamentations 2:10 describes how “The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground,” indicating how a virginal maidens should position themselves to receive anal sex.

Another suggestive scripture tells of a woman’s pride in her “valley” (referring to her buttocks and the cleft between them) and entices her lover to ejaculate against her backside: "How boastful you are about the valleys! O backsliding daughter who trusts in her treasures, {saying,} 'Who will come against me?' (Jeremiah 49:4)

And in the Song of Songs, the lover urges his mate to allow him to enter her from behind: “Draw me after you, let us make haste.” (Song of Solomon, 1:4)

“If you’re going to have anal sex, why not just have regular sex?”

This is a good question: If you’re going to have sexual contact before marriage, why not just go the whole nine yards and have regular sex?

There are many good reasons for having anal sex instead. The first reason is practical: having conventional vaginal intercourse can lead to unwanted pregnancies.

While it’s true that the Lord bade us to “be fruitful and multiply,” (Gen 1:22) the Bible also counsels that “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” (Ecl. 3:1)

Pregnancy outside of wedlock can have dire and life-altering consequences for all those involved.

Having anal sex allows you to greatly reduce this risk.

Second, for a young woman who has never engaged in sexual intercourse, having anal sex allows her to preserve her virginity (i.e., maintain an intact hymen) until marriage.

There is no greater gift that a bride can give than to offer her pure, unsullied maidenhead to her husband on their wedding night.

Finally, anal sex allows both partners to save the most intimate and powerful sexual act, that of face-to-face vaginal intercourse, for their mates in marriage.

This type of sexual relationship represents the most powerful union between a man and a woman, and so it rightfully should be reserved for one’s life partner.

Fortunately, you can engage in anal sex prior to marriage and still be able to share the deeper, more meaningful act of consecrated love through vaginal intercourse with your wedded spouse.

Now, we are not finished with this bullshit just yet my friends!

The Good News About Oral Sex

Like anal sex, oral sex is the subject of much confusion and disagreement among the faithful. There are those who say that oral sex is unnatural because God did not intend our mouths to be used in such a manner.

Others associate oral-genital contact with the sexual depravities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

As you will see in the Scripture, neither one of these views is supported. Not only that, but oral sex has benefits that are of particular importance to Christians: oral sex allows the natural prevention of unwanted pregnancy and is an alternative to premarital intercourse for those committed to preserving their chastity before marriage.

There is nothing in the Bible that forbids engaging in acts of oral-genital contact.

Oral sex has wrongly been grouped in with “sodomy” and the sexual sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.

As we have seen with anal sex, this argument does not hold water, because the sins of the Sodomites were specifically homosexual and/or non consensual in nature.

There is no way this could be extrapolated to argue against a heterosexual act of oral sex for mutual pleasure.

On the other hand, the Bible does contain some favorable references to oral sex, some in poetic language and some more explicit.

“His Fruit Was Sweet to My Taste”

In Christian discussions concerning oral sex, the Song of Solomon is most frequently cited as an example of scriptural allusion to the act: Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. (Song of Solomon 2:3)

While the previous passage refers to fellatio, the following can be read as a metaphor for cunnilingus: Awake, O north wind, and come, wind of the south; make my garden breathe out fragrance, let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden and eat its choice fruits! (Song of Solomon 4:16)

And again, the Song of Solomon urges lovers to eat and drink freely of one another’s bodies: I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song of Solomon 5:1)

This reading of the scriptures portrays the act of oral sex as both natural, like eating, and a joyful expression of love, passion, and sexual sharing between a man and woman.

In the New Testament, this passage directs partners to render “benevolence” to one another, which can be extended to performing oral sex on each other as part of their duty to the Lord and one another: Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. (Corinthians 7:33)

Not only does this passage imply that oral sex between a man and woman is acceptable and desirable, but as we shall see, the Bible also provides more specific edicts concerning the completion of the oral sex act, namely swallowing the male emission.

Now here comes (pardon the pun)the REALLY good part, this is called the ClOSER.

The Necessity of Swallowing - The Sin of Spilling Seed

Most of us are familiar with the Biblical story of Onan, whose sin against God was that of spilling his seed on the ground:

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. (Genesis 38:9)

This scriptural passage has traditionally been used as an injunction against masturbation. However, upon closer reading, it becomes apparent that this scenario has nothing to do with masturbation at all.

Onan was not masturbating; he was copulating with his brother’s wife (and there was a good reason for that, in God’s plan). His sin was pulling out (coitus interruptus) and ejaculating on the ground rather than into the woman. He did so in order to avoid impregnating her.

However, he could have easily avoided God’s wrath (and the penalty of death), by simply having the woman fellate him and then swallow his semen.

This would have kept him from impregnating her, as well as completely prevented the spilling of seed that was an offense in God’s eyes.

The extreme case of Onan aside, how bad is it in general to spill semen?

The Old Testament ranks it with other acts of uncleanliness that meet with God’s disapproval: And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. (Leviticus 15:16-17)

Getting ejaculate on oneself or one’s clothing results in uncleanness that requires extensive reparations and atonement. Obviously one simple way to prevent the spillage of semen is to have your partner perform fellatio and swallow the emission.

In fact, in light of these scriptures, performing fellatio to completion and then spitting out the resulting emission seems almost unthinkable.

The Benefits of Swallowing - Drink of the Living Water

Aside from swallowing semen as a measure to prevent the waste and spillage of seed, ingesting ejaculate can have spiritual benefits, as we will see.

Although the Old Testament makes reference to the bitterness of semen (And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water. [Numbers 5:24]), the New Testament casts the act of consuming ejaculate in a much more affirming light, as in the following passage, where Jesus speaks to the woman of Samaria about the gift of “living water”:

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, "Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep.

Where do you get that living water?...15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back." (John 4:10-16)

“Living water” in this context refers to semen, which literally is the liquid of life. As Christ indicates, drinking of the “living water” provides a spiritual replenishment for the soul.

When the woman asks Jesus where she can get this “water”, he tells her to fetch her husband, clearly with the intention of instructing her on how to fellate him and swallow his semen.

Oral Sex in Christ

In summary, we can say that the Scripture supports and even encourages the act of oral sex between loving heterosexual partners.

Moreover, the Bible specifically encourages fellatio to completion (orgasm) with the female partner consuming or swallowing the ejaculate.

This prevents spilling seed, which is an affront to the Lord, and also provides spiritual benefit to the receiving partner.

Oral sex has the added benefits of preventing unwanted pregnancies and helping couples satisfy their sexual urges while preserving their chastity until marriage.

For these reasons, all Christian men and women should feel confident and comfortable including oral sex as part of their sexual life in accordance with God’s will.

SO, to sum this whole thing up, I don't condone, condemn or really give a shit what you do in your sex-life but please don't stoop so low as to say the "Bible told me so!"

That's the worst form of deception there is and this guy should be ashamed of himself. Either that or shot and pissed on!

Saturday Morning Confusion! (Pt 1)

Here it is, another Saturday morning with a newspaper and a few coffee's! As usual I was struck with a few thoughts, but fortunately none of them caused any serious injuries!

The first thing that caught my eye was good ol' Dr. "Dino" Kent Hovind. Remember him?

He is the guy that has a "Creationist" theme park that shows dinosaurs and humans living side by side about 4-5000 years ago and is a great hit with the "Right Wing Christian Fundamentalists!"

Well the poor Doctor and his wife just got themselves 10 years in the slammer yesterday for playing around with their income taxes.

(Actually, they didn't play around with them, they just sort of "forgot" about them! ------Watch this, good seguay coming up here!)

Speaking of "Doctor:" Hovind was awarded a Master's degree and doctorate in "Christian Education" through correspondence from the unaccredited Patriot University (now Patriot Bible University) in Colorado.

Dr. Barbara Forrest, a critic of Creationism, wrote that Hovind's lack of academic training makes it impossible to engage him on a professional level.

Specifically, critics of Hovind have charged that Patriot Bible University is a diploma mill. The school's current policies allow students to attain Bachelor's degrees, Master's degrees and even "Doctor of Ministry" (Hovind!) degrees in months, rather than years, for as little as $25 per month.

Various criticisms have been made of his dissertation, including charges of incompleteness, low academic quality, poor writing, poor spelling, and ungrammatical style. (This on top of the fact that the guy wants to play with words and call it the "THEORY of Evolution" while he calls Creationism -- "Creation Science!"

Now the reason I am going into the stuff below is because Hovind is a good example of how the Extreme-Right thinks!

His thoughts are sytemic of how the United States is going wrong in not only it's attitudes, but also it's foreign and domestic policy. After all, the Right does have undue influence on things at the moment! (If you don't believe me read the article below on how the Right thinks it's the "Liberal Left" that is responsible for 9/11!)

In other words, some of his beliefs are shared by a good percentage of the American population and they are not doing themselves any favours by holding these views.

At least that's the opinion of someone quite close to, but still able to maintain an objective viewpoint of the States! (A Canadian!)

Creation Science Evangelism Ministry:

After receiving his first correspondence education degree, Hovind started Creation Science Evangelism Ministry in 1989.

The ministry aims to evangelize people by teaching them a creationist perspective.

The ministry is not a non-profit organization nor is it considered a church by people who work there or the IRS.

The Hovind Theory:

Hovind summarizes his highly controversial version of the argument for Creationism into the “Hovind Theory."

The theory includes a literal reading of the Biblical account of Noah: Noah's family and two of every animal (including dinosaurs) safely boarded the Ark before a minus 300° Fahrenheit ice meteor came flying toward the Earth and broke up in space.













Some of the meteor fragments became rings and others caused the impact craters on the moon and some of the planets. The remaining ice fragments fell to the North and South Poles of the earth. The resulting "super-cold snow" fell near the poles, burying the Mammoths standing up.

Ice on the North and South Pole cracked the crust of the earth releasing the fountains of the deep, which in turn caused certain glacier effects.

This also made "the earth wobble around for a few thousand years" and it made the crust collapse.

During the first few months of the flood, the dead animals and plants got buried and became coal if they were plants and oil if they were animals.

The last few months of the flood included geological instability when the plates shifted. This period saw the formation of both ocean basins and mountain ranges and the resulting water run-off caused incredible erosion!!!!

Hovind claims that the Grand Canyon was formed in a couple of weeks during this time.

After a few hundred years, the ice caps slowly melted back, retreating to their current size and the ocean levels increased, creating the continental shelves.

The deeper oceans absorbed much of the carbon dioxide in earth’s atmosphere and thus allowed greater amounts of radiation to reach the earth's surface.

As a result, human lifespans were shortened considerably from the pre-flood days.

Now I should mention here that the vast majority of scientists do not take Hovind's work seriously and do not agree with his interpretation of the facts. But, if you're one of the people I should be mentioning this to, then you really shouldn't be reading this article anyways!

Dinosaur Adventure Land:

In 2001 Hovind started Dinosaur Adventure Land, a young earth creationist theme park located behind Hovind's home in Pensacola, Florida.

The park depicts humans and dinosaurs co-existing in the last 4-6,000 years, and also contains a depiction of the Loch Ness monster.

The park does not explore "The Jurassic and Cretaceous eras," but rather, "depicts dinosaurs as coexisting with human beings."

Legal problems:

Kent Hovind has been in trouble with law enforcement several times. These have included assault and battery, falsely declaring bankruptcy, making threats against federal officials, filing false complaints, failing to get necessary building permits, and various tax-related charges.

In 1996 Hovind unsuccessfully filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying federal income taxes. Hovind was found to have lied about his possessions and income. He claimed that as a minister of God everything he owns belonged to God and he is not subject to paying taxes to the United States on the money he received for doing God's work.

"Since 1997, Hovind has engaged in financial transactions indicating sources of income and has made deposits to bank accounts well in excess of $1 million per year during some of these years, which would require the filing of federal income taxes."

In 2002, he was charged with one count of felony assault, one count of misdemeanor battery, and one count of burglary with assault/battery. In December 2002, the charges were dropped by the alleged victim - Hovind's secretary.

On June 3, 2004, the IRS issued tax liens of $504,957.24 against Hovind and his son and their businesses due to previous legal maneuverings to evade taxation by moving property between himself, his son, and other legal entities.

Hovind stated that he did not recognize the government's right to try him on tax-fraud charges.

Hovind is known for his debates against atheists, skeptics and scientists. However, some scientists like Richard Dawkins refused to debate Creationists as they believe debate is not how science works.

Others like evolutionary biologist Massimo Pigliucci have debated Hovind, and were surprised how ignorant Hovind was of evolutionary theory. Pigliucci was surprised to hear to Hovind try "to convince the audience that evolutionists believe humans came from rocks" and claimed biologists believe humans "evolved from bananas."

In Hovind's debates, he traditionally focuses on points that he claims serve to discredit evolutionary theory, physical cosmology, and geology. He also presents what he claims is evidence for a Biblical flood, a young earth, and the canopy (crust) theory.

Hovind's $250,000 offer:
Since at least 1999 the good "Doctor" has said; "I have a standing offer of $250,000 to anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution. My $250,000 offer demonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothing more than a belief.

I have to inject a personal note here! I myself, sent Hovind a letter a few years ago in which I think I pretty well established the "fact" of evolution. Not only did I not get my $250,000 bucks - he didn't even bother to reply!

Controversial remarks:
Kent Hovind has made controversial remarks regarding conspiracies, science, creation, equal rights, religion and government over the years.

Hovind considers the King James Version of the Bible to be the Inerrant word of God that must be taken literally. Because of this, he believes all findings of science will eventually be found to agree with Scripture.

Hovind maintains that biology textbooks are lying and advocates simply taking evolution out of the textbooks because he considers evolution to be a false-religion.

Hovind has several conspiracy theories about the U.S. government. For example, he believes that Laetrile works and teaches that the US government is conspiring to suppress a cure for cancer.

On his radio program that he claims the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks and that a "lot of folks were told not to come to work."

He also believes the Oklahoma City bombing was done on purpose. To quote the good Doctor; "Did you know the Federal Government blew up their own building to blame it on the militias, and to get rid of some people that weren't cooperating with the system?"

He also alleges that "UFOs are apparitions of Satan" and that the US government possesses UFOs.

Additionally, Hovind believes that the Federal Reserve, the Council on Foreign Relations, the United Nations, and various other groups are actively planning to create a one world government.

He also claims that the 1993 World Trade Center attack was staged by the U.S. Government in order to pass "anti-terrorism" legislation that restricts civil liberties.

He says, "I love my country, but fear my government. And you should too."

Jesus Christ, that's exactly what I keep saying about mainstream religion!

In terms of science, Hovind disregards all fossil evidence, claiming; "No fossils can count as evidence for evolution because all we know about that animal is that it died. We do not know that it had any kids, much less different kids!"

During a debate with Farrell Till, Hovind made the following claim about Donald Johanson: "He found the leg bones of "Lucy" a mile and a half away from the head bones. The leg bones were 200 feet deeper in a deeper layer of strata. I would like to know how fast the train was going that hit that chimpanzee."

However, the claim itself is false, and while Hovind has been informed of this, he continues to make it.

He also claims the Grand Canyon was not created through gradual geologic processes but rather by the Great Flood as narrated in the Old Testament.

I could go on about this asshole but I think you get the general idea.

As for the systemic problems in the United States, Hovind gives us a few good examples of what not to do!

Basically it boils down to throw away your "bibles" and your conspiracy theories and start looking at what makes sense. Period!

And that's all I have to say about that!!!!!!!
