[Bruce Llama] Grandpa Billy is On the Slippery Slide

Bruce Llama has posted a new item, 'Grandpa Billy is On the Slippery Slide'

Grandpa Billy has got his white undies wedged firmly up his arse in his latest “I told you so!” blog.  This time he thinks that there are plans afoot to legalise paedophilia.  He can’t distinguish between a few rat bags and the rest of the world.

Those who want to see normalised sexual relations with children have been very vocal of late. Of course they have long been making these demands, and they have had a long relationship with the homosexual rights movement as I have documented in my book Strained Relations.

There are lots of vocal people out there – but who’s listening?  Nobody really.  Oh, and if you want to really know what’s going on, buy his book.

In fact, the homosexual activists have long called for the lowering of the age of consent – or abolishing it all together.

Which ones? Oh, we have to buy your book.   In any case, that’s just bullshit.  There is nobody calling for a lowering of the age of consent and certainly nobody is suggesting that it be abolished.

Sadly they are not alone in all this. Just recently a leading legal eagle in the UK called for the age to be dropped to 13, to stop the 'persecution of old men'! Yes, that is what she actually said. As a newspaper report says:

"A senior human rights barrister has sparked a storm of outrage after calling for the age of consent to be lowered to 13 in order to prevent the 'persecution of old men'. Barbara Hewson made the controversial suggestion in an article for the online magazine 'Spiked'. In the column, Hewson, who is a barrister at Hardwicke in London, stated that the move was necessary in the wake of the Savile scandal. She refers to Operation Yewtree as the 'Savile Inquisition' and describes its inquiry as reminiscent of Soviet-era Russia. She goes on to suggest some of the offences investigated were 'low level misdemeanours'."

Well yes, she does call for the age of consent to be lowered to 13.  I don’t think that means it’s going to happen.  It’s best to read her full article to get an understanding for the reasons why, something I doubt Grandpa Billy has done.  She is but a lone voice, there simply isn’t a groundswell of support for her idea and quickly the concept was dismissed.

But worse yet, there are now many "experts" who are arguing that paedophilia is an innate predisposition and orientation, just like is claimed about homosexuality.

Here we go again, making a link between paedophilia and homosexuality.  You know, it matters not to the average person whether or not paedophilia is innate.  If it is innate it makes it no more acceptable.  Billy is trying really hard to link the age of consent with homosexuals and paedophiles.   In his mind the deviants are trying to get access to the kiddies and must be stopped!

A number of illustrations of this can be provided here. Take for example this ominous headline: "Some homosexual activist groups a 'dream' to pedophiles". The piece begins as follows:

"Two psychologists testified before a parliamentary session on a bill related to sexual assault on children that pedophilia is a 'sexual orientation' just like homosexuality or heterosexuality. Lifesitenews reported on the testimony at a parliamentary session in Canada regarding a bill intended to increase mandatory minimum sentences on child sex offenders for particular crimes.

"Dr. Vernon Quinsey and Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem were testifying on how offenders responded to treatment. Van Gijseghem, psychologist and retired professor of the University of Montreal, said, 'Pedophiles are not simply people who commit a small offense from time to time but rather are grappling with what is equivalent to a sexual orientation just like another individual may be grappling with heterosexuality or even homosexuality.' He went on to say, 'True pedophiles have an exclusive preference for children, which is the same as having a sexual orientation. You cannot change this person's sexual orientation. He may, however, remain abstinent'."

We find here the same line used for homosexuals: this is an orientation from which no change is possible. And just as groups like the American Psychiatric Association (APA) were hounded by the militants to change their stance on homosexuality, so too the paedophile activists are trying to do the same thing.

Of course, it’s about what he leaves out.  Grandpa Billy is right, these trained and professional people recognise that paedophiles can’t simply change.  Billy no doubt thinks that they can, probably by praying over them.  I’d sooner take the word of people in the relevant scientific disciplines than a religious nutter in Melbourne’s outer east.  The article goes on to say:

Dr. Quinsey, professor emeritus of psychology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, agreed with Van Gijseghem. Quinsey said pedophiles' sexual interests prefer children and "There is no evidence that this sort of preference can be changed through treatment or through anything else."

 Van Gijseghem and Quinsey's views are not unique. Harvard Health Publications said in July 2010 that, "Pedophilia is a sexual orientation and unlikely to change. Treatment aims to enable someone to resist acting on his sexual urges."

See – they are simply acknowledging the way things are, they are not calling for paedophiles to be allowed access to children.  ”Treatment aims to enable someone to resist ..sexual urges”

Another alarming piece entitled "Many researchers taking a different view of pedophilia" in the Los Angeles Times also notes how so many of our sexperts are arguing that paedophilia is an unchangeable condition. It begins with a "case study" of a man who claims his desires for children are intrinsic to who he is. It then says this:

"In the laboratory, researchers are coming to the same conclusion. Like many forms of sexual deviance, pedophilia once was thought to stem from psychological influences early in life. Now, many experts view it as a sexual orientation as immutable as heterosexuality or homosexuality. It is a deep-rooted predisposition — limited almost entirely to men — that becomes clear during puberty and does not change. The best estimates are that between 1% and 5% of men are pedophiles, meaning that they have a dominant attraction to prepubescent children."

Once again we see this as a mere "sexual orientation" which we are meant to simply accept.

Once again Grandpa Billy leaves out the important part of the article.

Not all pedophiles molest children. Nor are all child molesters pedophiles. Studies show that about half of all molesters are not sexually attracted to their victims. They often have personality disorders or violent streaks, and their victims are typically family members.

By contrast, pedophiles tend to think of children as romantic partners and look beyond immediate relatives. They include chronic abusers familiar from the headlines — Catholic priests, coaches and generations of Boy Scout leaders.

This I would think is an important part of the discussion.  Adults who molest children may not be sexually attracted to their victim.  They often have personality disorders, much like some religious fundamentalist have a personality disorder.

And the real worry here is this: in numerous places laws are being enacted which makes it a criminal offence to "discriminate" against anyone based on their "sexual orientation". So the obvious concern here is this: if paedophilia is just another sexual orientation, must we now accept, embrace and promote it like we now must do with homosexuality?

And here is Grandpa Billy at the top of the slippery slide.  Nobody anywhere, apart from the nutcases, is suggesting that the age of consent is lowered or that laws be passed to enable adults to have sex with children.  So paedophilia may be innate, that simply means we change the way we deal with those so afflicted.  It should be clear that therapy won’t change their orientation, and drugs will have a limited effect, so we must find alternatives to protect the adult and more importantly to reduce the risk to the children.  Grandpa is right, we should not discriminate against a paedophile, so we shouldn’t deny them access to a house or a job, but if they commit a crime, that’s different.  When you offend, the whole game changes.  I don’t have an answer as to how that happens, but for those offenders, regardless of their orientation or reasons, they must be excluded from society.  Lock them up.

But thanks to the homosexual activists, we now are having a very hard time saying no to any of this. Indeed, we know things will not stop there. Soon every conceivable "sexual orientation" imaginable will be argued for and publically championed – and eventually legalised. You see, there is still so much "sexual inequality and injustice" which needs to be dealt with.

Oh poor Grandpa Billy, because the gays are being treated in the right way we have to treat everyone else in the same way.  Because we let the gays have sex with each other and don’t lock them up that means that we have to let people have sex with whoever and whatever they want.  The subtext is that homosexuality should be again criminalised.  Billy can’t distinguish between someone’s innate nature and then offending.  Just because you want to do something doesn’t mean you can.  Most of the world understands this.

Nobody is seriously suggesting that the age of consent be abolished, nobody is calling for rape to be legal, nobody is calling for sex with animals to be legal and nobody is calling for sex between adult christian fundamentals to be outlawed.

That last one would be a good idea.  Stop them breeding.

[Bruce Llama] God, guns and 2 year olds

Bruce Llama has posted a new item, 'God, guns and 2 year olds'

[SOURCE]

In a very disturbing incident in the US a 5-year-old boy shot and killed his 2-year-old old sister.  The young lad was given a rifle for his 4th birthday, apparently that’s the way it’s done in Kentucky.

It is without a doubt horrific.  Nobody deserves to die like that, no parent deserves to lose their child like that and no sibling deserves to be responsible for such an act.

There are so many questions.  Why was the rifle still loaded?  What was the rifle within easy reach?  Who the fuck markets rifles to children as toys?  What sort of parents think this is a suitable present?

Just around the corner however, there is always someone wanting to bring god into it.  As if somehow that makes it better.

The children’s grandmother Linda Riddle is devastated, but comforted knowing that her granddaughter is in a better place.

She is talking of her grand-daughter being in heaven of course.

Riddle said her granddaughter enjoyed singing and playing outdoors, and she loved her brother.

Just like any 2-year-old.  The world is simply fantastic, a marvel.  There is so much happiness in children.  Through the stupidity of the parents she’s now dead.  That’s it, there is no coming back from this.  An easily preventable accident.

"It was God's will. It was her time to go, I guess," she told WLEX. "I just know she's in heaven right now and I know she's in good hands with the Lord."

This god is a bastard.  This god of theirs that picks and chooses when and how we die, decided the best way to take this little girl was to have her 5-year-old brother shoot her in the chest with a rifle that was given as a present.  It’s a tragedy in itself that the grandmother rationalises this and gets comfort by suggesting that her grand-daughter is now in good hands.  She really should be asking why the good hands of the lord didn’t act before the trigger was pulled.  How easy is it for an all-powerful being to knock a bullet off its path or to jam the mechanism, or to prevent a company from marketing such products.

You want evidence that there is no god.  Here it is.  Rather than try to make sense of this terrible death by invoking god, try to understand how a 5-year-old boy was able to gain access to a loaded .22 calibre rifle, point it at his sister and kill her.

[Bruce Llama] Uncle Billy Shows us Why Religion is Evil

Bruce Llama has posted a new item, 'Uncle Billy Shows us Why Religion is Evil'

[SOURCE]

In an age of oppressive political correctness and a militant social engineering crusade, it seems homosexuals can do no wrong. They have become the new untouchables who are forever above fault, and must be treated as sacrosanct. And if any charge is levelled against them, it of course must be untrue, and simply the fruit of homophobia.

Really?  Uncle Billy is saying that gay people can do no wrong, and that they get away with it?  Wow.  Everyone should turn gay!

Such is the stranglehold the pink mafia and its supporters in the media and elsewhere have, that no one dares to say anything critical about this movement – even if it happens to be true. Any claim brought against them will be considered to be "hate speech" and harshly dealt with.

Heck, so the media won’t report the truth about what’s happening if the criminals are gay.  Incredible.  What would we do without Uncle Billy to point this stuff out to us?

The bullying and intimidation from the homosexual militants has been so intense that most people are terrified to say anything remotely negative about them. And if real wrongs are being committed by them, the powers that be will likely not believe such charges.

Amazing, people won’t report because they’re terrified!

We have a perfect illustration of all this coming out of the UK just recently. A boy was being abused by his homosexual "parents" but no one believed him, simply because they were homosexual. The whole ugly story is worth recording, so I offer it here:

Hold on… it seems that the story has got out!  How did the ‘pink mafia’ let such ‘hate speech’ get into the media?  What went wrong with the bullying and intimidation from the homosexual militants?

You can read the report here.  It is really disturbing and tragic.  It’s a situation that should never have arisen.  I’d like to focus more on Uncle Billy’s words.

Wow, what a tragic story. But the real tragedy is, this is likely not an isolated incident. So fearful are most folks today of saying anything which might be seen as negative or critical about the homosexual lifestyle, that they will allow horrific scenarios like this to go unchecked or unreported.

No, that’s not right.  These are isolated incidents.  It has nothing to do with the fearful folk.  To suggest that professionals will let horrific scenarios go unchecked or unreported is just wrong and you know it.  Sure, someone fucked up here, but it can’t escape your view Uncle Billy that this incident is not unreported or unchecked.

The ugly face of PC censorship and homosexual intimidation has resulted in the mass of citizens in the West almost as afraid to say anything as they are in North Korea. We are allowing terrible abuses and injustices to take place because of fear of being politically incorrect and offending the homosexual lobby. This ought not to be my friends.

There’s no mention of intimidation in this report.  It went wrong when a social worker failed to do his job:

A social worker failed to report the allegations to a family court and instead called Cannon 'a very caring parent who considered his children's needs'.

To suggest from this that somehow people are as frightened as they might be in North Korea is just plain and simply wrong and an exaggeration   If that was the case, this story would never have seen the light of day.

You will notice that the story has been reported in the main stream media, a report has been written and tabled to the County Court, people have been jailed and the homosexual lobby (whatever the fuck that is) are not on the street protesting all calling for special considerations.  It would be fair to say that the media has not somehow hidden the truth.

Yes they certainly have become sacrosanct untouchables who can do no wrong. And they certainly do not give a rip about truth or empirical evidence. A friend just told me of how he was debating a homosexual who demanded evidence and references. My friend spent two hours providing just that, only to be told by his opponent that he was not interested in "cold, hard facts"!

So, Uncle Billy goes out of his way to show us all how untouchable the gay lobby is, how the media is doing its bit by hiding the truth about the ‘homosexual lifestyle’ and how people  are too scared to expose the truth.  He talks about truth and evidence, and even when an article about a gay couple who abused their child hits the main stream media he blinds his own bigotry and hatred of gay people by claiming the exact opposite.  A mistake was made, and yes, perhaps because of the sexuality of the parent, I don’t know.  The error has been exposed, the parents jailed and the man abused compensated.

When you are a politically protected species, you do not need truth or facts. You just go ahead and do whatever you want, because you are untouchable. That is exactly how a sadistic dictator like Kim Jong-Un goes about his business. We expect such tyrannical behaviour in places like North Korea, but not here in the supposed free West.

It would seem that even when the truth is slapping you in the face like a wet fish in a Monty Python sketch you can still ignore it and only see what you want.  If you want to see a protected species you only have to look at Uncle Billy’s brand of christianity.  He is very comfortable to make things up, skew a story to meet his own needs and then spew forth vile and reprehensible accusations about gay people, and get away with it.  He’s contention is that all gay people are paedophiles  the gays are out to take over the world and force christians like him to shut the fuck up.  He’s claiming that the militant homosexual lobby is the same as the North Korean government and uses the same tactics to subdue the population.  He again ignores the reality of gay life in Australia.  Still unable to get married, religion still has the right to belittle us and treat us as second class citizens and people like Muehlenberg still get to use his rights to free speech to write this crap.

Bill Muehlenberg again shows us how the narrow-minded bigot truly operates in a space that is devoid of reality.

He is the best example we have as to why religion is evil.

[Bruce Llama] Islamic Peace Conference Fails Because of Jesus, Bernie and Billy

Bruce Llama has posted a new item, 'Islamic Peace Conference Fails Because of Jesus, Bernie and Billy'

[SOURCE]

Sometime recently some religious nutters from the islamic faith held what they called an Islamic Peace Conference in Melbourne.  They invited international speakers and everything!  Some chrisitans were outraged!  How dare the muslims gather to talk about peace?  Everyone knows that they’re all terrorist and will bite the heads off babies just because they can.

It seems that the conference didn’t go too well.  Numbers just weren’t what they’d hoped for.  Cue christian fundies taking credit!  Oh look, it’s Billy the Peace Loving Jesus Fuckwit!

Since I have written several articles about the big Islamic Peace Conference in Melbourne, asking people to pray for it and engage in some spiritual warfare over it, it is appropriate that I now record the aftermath of the whole affair.

Billy the PLJF asked people to pray that the conference would be a flop?  And WTF is spiritual warfare anyway?  The god of islam is doing battle with the god of christians?  Thunderbolts and lightening… very very frightening…

The short story is this: thanks to all your prayer and intercession, the whole thing seems to have been a real fizzer. The numbers were nowhere near what they anticipated, and they must have lost a bundle of money as a result. None of their big name overseas speakers showed up, and the whole thing must be leaving the organisers with a big headache.

So in a god like pose Billy the PLJF extends his thanks to you, it’s through the prayers of his good little minions that the whole thing seems to have been a real fizzer.  Thanks to your bended knees the numbers were low and they must have lost money, and what’s more your fervent raising of hands to Billy the PLJF caused the organisers not just a headache, but a big headache!  Well done you!

I had to leave for an overseas engagement, so I could not join a small band of concerned Christians who offered a peaceful and prayerful spiritual presence at the conference. Their presence, along with the prayers of so many others, certainly paid off big time.

Seriously?  A bunch of christians praying paid off big time?  Billy the PLJF actually believes that through his actions he caused this to be a real fizzer?  His god can’t feed the poor and hungry but he can stop a bunch of muslims from having a good time?  I don’t get how that even makes the slightest bit of sense.

Then there was another christian do-gooder called Bernie Power who attended on the conference, another peace-loving christian embarked on a spiritual warfare, here is just some of the crap he wrote:

Free tickets were not honoured. We refused, saying that we had not come prepared to pay $50, since we had free tickets. We said that it was false advertising to issue free tickets and then not to honour them. Eventually a young Muslim reception girl had pity on us and spoke to her supervisors on our behalf and we were let in free.

Oh look at the jesus go!  He got the muslims to honour free tickets!  Woo hoo!

Muslim numbers were low: The organisers had hoped for 20,000 attendees, including 4,000 non-Muslims. However they did not achieve anything like this.  The internal visitor never applied for an Australian visa (probably due to this negative publicity), it was not until the night before that the conference organiser announced on their website that he was not coming. Consequently, only 1800 people instead of 5,000 turned up for the prayers.

That jesus must have told him not to apply for a visa.  He’s so wonderful!  It sounds like he was never going to come, you don’t just rock up to the airport, buy a ticket to Australia and get a visa with a cup of coffee.  It does take careful planning.  It would seem to me it’s more about bad organisational skills.  Did anyone actually ask him?

The other main speaker, a sheik from Kuwait, arrived but fell sick and was not able to attend the conference.

Jesus must’ve turned his water into cow poo!  Praise the Lord!

Muslims were disgruntled at the high price of the conference, expensive food and carnival rides, and the cancellation of some meetings.

See – Jesus made the prices high.  And just like the normal people, the muslims whinge and groan when they have to pay too much.  And just like a normal day out you have to take a lot of money for food and rides!  Who would have thought!

Eventually cold driving rain sent people home and kept them away the next day. Meetings set up to hold thousands were attended by a couple of hundred people. If the conference was relying on gate takings for income, it will be in significant financial trouble.

Ya!  Go Team Jesus!  It rained, god has heard our prayer.  All those years of praying for rain during the drought goes unanswered, but pray for rain on one weekend and the muslims get washed out and a significant financial trouble ensues!  He really is an all-powerful god!

Opportunities for Christian witness were high. Over the weekend, a team of 60 Christians turned up to witness to Muslims. The vast majority, by the grace of God, managed to get in free.

Well, that and the fact that they had free tickets.  A free ticket always seems to get you in for no money, you know, free.

Christians could be seen all over around the conference, making friends with Muslims, asking questions and sharing their faith in Jesus.

What all 60 of you?  Is this like the time jesus took a fish and a breadstick and feed thousands?  Jesus must have been so thankful to all those good little christians.

Sometimes conference staff would order Muslims to stop talking to the Christians and send them away. Despite this, we had hundreds of wonderful conversations about Christ throughout the weekend and arranged to meet up with some more open Muslims afterwards.

Ordered them to stop talking.  Wow.  You must’ve had them on the run.  It’s great that all 60 of you had hundreds of conversations.  All of them wonderful.  I can feel the love of jesus seeping through your words.

Some Christians got kicked out of the conference.

No?  Get the hell outta here.  So some of your 60 christians having hundreds of wonderful conversations had to go?  That must’ve hurt.

Because of their impact, the Christians came to the attention of the conference organisers. Some high-profile Christians were assigned Muslim 'taggers' to follow them around and intervene in their conversations.

Fancy showing up at an islamic conference to talk about christianity and being asked to leave.  How rude of the islamic types to find your approach a bit inappropriate.

On the Saturday, one of our Christian team, a former Muslim, rang me in distress. He had been giving out a DVD about Muslims who had come to Christ.

This is like going to a conference about milk and handing out free samples of coke and suggesting that it’s better.  It’s actually just really rude to do this sort of crap.

Some-one complained and he was surrounded by security guards and the conference organiser who were threatening him. The conference organiser (Abdul Samii) was rude and aggressive. We were marched to the Showgrounds exit by the eight guards, and told we must leave all Christian materials in our car before re-entering.

Well hit me over the head with a crucifix.  Imagine standing in a Woolworths supermarket handing out free vouchers for a Coles supermarket.  You wouldn’t be at all surprised if you got marched out and told to leave your opposition materials in the car before coming back in.  We have a word of this sort of  behaviour.  Inappropriate.

The conference organiser was hostile and insulting, saying "Get out! Shut your mouth," to the four Christians. He told the security guards to escort them from the Showgrounds, and they were ejected.

This is what you get for pretending that what you’re doing is ok.  It’s not ok to get in someone’s face and claim surprise when you get treated rudely.  But you know, christians expect this. Jesus loves them so much that he told them that people will persecute them.

Protests happened on the last day: On the Sunday morning, a group of about 20 'Australian Protection Party' protestors stood outside one of the Showground gates holding posters saying: "No Sharia Law", "No Mosques", and "End Discrimination against Women." They abused Muslims who were driving into the conference. Eventually they packed up and went home.

Well yes, there’s a way to do a protest.  Don’t invade the space occupied by those you’re protesting against.  Wave your banners, have your say, pack up and go home.  That’s how lots of people actually do a protest. On public land.

Thank you so much to the many who prayed, gave or came so that this Conference would be a significant witness to Christ. We will continue to pray for Muslims and plan for other Islamic events that will be happening around Melbourne.

Yeah, you guys, you’re so brave.  I can seem islam crumbling after your great efforts!  Jesus must be so proud of you.  Now back to some closing words from Billy the PLJF.

Well done Bernie, all those who came to let Muslims know of a better way, and all those who prayed so fervently. All this demonstrates that when God's people get serious and engage in concentrated and sustained prayer offensives, they will see great victories indeed.

Yeah, that’s it.  You christians praying fervently really works.  It’s great to see such a positive demonstration of god’s people.  It’s exactly the same fervent praying that has feed the world’s hungry.  It is precisely because christians get serious and engage in concentrated and sustained prayer offensives that peace reigns throughout the world.  The victories are huge!  This prayer thing really works!

Islam – and any other ideology or religion – is no match for God's people when they take their spiritual responsibilities seriously and bring some substantial spiritual firepower to rain down upon the various contenders to biblical Christianity.

So, a small band of christians who have the audacity to go to an islamic event that is a flop are taking credit for what exactly?  Their impact is huge!  Muslims everywhere are throwing off the shackles of their women-hating, terrorist plotting faith and coming over to the other side!

Now that’s substantial spiritual firepower!

You go Billy the PLJF.

On the “History Channel” – some cable network in the USA, they’re currently screening a series called “The Bible”.  So, not real history, just some made up shit.

Twitter lit up during a recent screening when the villain of the book, the devil called Satan made an appearance.  Guess what?  The devil is black and he looks like President Osama.

The Executive Producers of “The Bible” were quick to say that that was not their intention.  Of course, christian fuckwits couldn’t help themselves:

https://twitter.com/kesgardner/status/313471343008034817

https://twitter.com/JKellyShaw/status/313469541147627520

https://twitter.com/KissFreedom/status/313466822517219328

It made #thebible a trending twitter topic for a while.  Something that didn’t escape the attention of Sacerdotus

https://twitter.com/Sacerdotus/status/313523800778096641

Simply wetting himself with excitement.  He of course ignores the hashtag #godisnotgreat that had to be removed from trending when Christopher Hitchens died.  Seems some religious nut jobs were threatening violence.  How civilised of them.

However, as with his life, controversy followed Hitchens into death. The hash tag #GodIsNotGreat also began trending, which was followed by a storm of protests by the religious, many unaware that the hash tag was a tribute to the author’s passing.

But the real joy of the story about “The Bible” comes from Rick Wiles – American douchebag christian.  At first, when I read this, I thought it was a joke.  But go listen, he’s serious.

 I don't believe they intentionally portrayed the Lucifer character to look like Mr. Obama. I think God guided the hand of the makeup artist and blinded the eyes of everybody on the movie set while it was being recorded, and the spiritual blinders were removed Sunday night when the program was broadcast nationally on the History Channel. How many clues do we need from Heaven to understand that the man in the White House is a devil from Hell?

Just to really drive home this point.  This christian fundamentalist is actually saying that the President of the United States is really Satan.  Now, that’s Satan, the most evil character in the christian belief system.  He’s going to torture sinners for all eternity.  Fancy comparing someone who you don’t politically agree with to the devil.  How rude.  This man elected to President was elected by the people, so now all those who voted for him must also be evil, or perhaps this god character had blinded their eyes too?

Wouldn’t it be simpler for this god thing to be a little more direct?  You know, make the President all red, give him some horns and a tail.  While he’s in Israel, that’d be perfect.  It would get the world’s attention.

[Bruce Llama] How to use tragedy to push your religion - Ray Comfort gets it wrong!

Bruce Llama has posted a new item, 'How to use tragedy to push your religion - Ray Comfort gets it wrong!'

[SOURCE]

Recently a man in New Zealand died after he was horrifically attacked and eaten by a shark. The atheist, however, can't blame God for creating the shark, because (in his mind) God doesn’t exist. He has to say that this tragedy was the cold result of the evolutionary process. It was a matter of survival of the fittest. The shark simply ate a primate who was in his territory. The Christian, however, has a different worldview. This terrible death of a human being confirms that we live in a "fallen" creation, under the curse of Genesis–where sharks devour people. So do lions and tigers. Snakes kill, bees sting, mosquitoes suck blood and spread disease, crocodiles bite your arm off, and bears rip open your rib cage. There are a whole lot of other nasty predators that will eat you for dinner, if you get into their territory or if they are hungry enough to come into yours. While evolution rests on faith because the believer has to believe what he's been told about old bones, about theories and dating data, we can "observe" Genesis chapter 1 in the existing creation and in the fossil record. Not only is the curse observable, but we see male and female in every kind and all of them reproduce after their own kind, just as the Scriptures say. It's all readily observable in Nature. None of it needs faith.

And so says the ratbag New Zealand jewish christian pastor Ray Comfort.  A man who has dedicated his life to being confused.

He thinks bananas are an atheist nightmare because they slip into your hand so well.

http://youtu.be/2z-OLG0KyR4

To his quote above from his Facebook profile.  Comfort suggests that the death of the New Zealander was the cold result of the evolutionary process.  The death of Adam Strange is indeed tragic, it cause a great deal of trauma for those who stood by and watched him attacked and killed.  It wasn’t about the survival of the fittest, it was about nature doing what it does.  Comfort hints at an atheist being cold and unmoved by this death, whereas a christian is somehow better placed to see the death as part of gods plan. He goes on to suggest that we are under the curse of Genesis, a curse derived from his rather cold god.

He says that it’s because Eve ate the fruit of the tree in the middle of a garden, where his god planted the fucking thing, that the shark ate a man.  In Ray’s mind 6,000 years ago this happened.  After all the generations we are still cursed because his god couldn’t get it right.

In some mind-twist that surely must hurt, he then says that evolution requires faith, whereas the believing in god has evidence.  The bible is evidence.  And why?  Because we can observe the result of animals having sex.  The offspring is observable, the bible says:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

See!  The bible says so.  Of course, it has nothing to do with the authors actually observing the universe from their goat-herding fucking ways and noticing that when you have sex with your own species you then have babies, when you have sex with the goats you don’t.  It was going on all around them so they wrote it down.

I much prefer DifficultNerds theory on banana peeling.  That’s very observable.

[Bruce Llama] Spinksy Snorts at the Universe

Bruce Llama has posted a new item, 'Spinksy Snorts at the Universe'

[SOURCE]

Somebody must’ve told me old mate Spinksy what a dip-shit he is to think the world was created because god farted.

Upon posting an article about a literal interpretation of Genesis I received several comments from friends and acquaintances that can be summed up like so:

"The creation story is not the important part of the Bible. What is important is the Gospel. Indeed the very arguing of a literal six days for creation can distract from the Gospel."

I can’t help but feel deeply disturbed by these opinions. Firstly, I am concerned about the criticism I have received for even broaching on the topic of creation. Indeed in my previous article I did not treat a literal creation as a primary doctrinal issue, nor did I even say that we should be divided on the issue. What I said was that it was completely plausible for Christians to hold to a literal 6-day creation.

Oooo. He’s deeply disturbed because someone thinks creationism is silly.  The bit I find deeply disturbing is that he thinks a literal 6-day creation is plausible.  6 days to do all this?  You must be out of your mind!

Let’s just take a minute.  Think of how small a grain of sand is.  Now cut it in half, then cut it in half again and then once more.  Can you imagine that?  It’s pretty small.  You may even have trouble finding it. The world is really big when you’re a tiny bit of sand.  Look up at the sky, how far can you see?  Forever is the answer.  Everything up there that you can see beyond the atmosphere is bigger than you.  Even the distance between your eyes and where the blue stuff stops is bigger than you.  Like the grain of sand you’re small.  Keeping going out, beyond our solar system, all the way to the Milky Way and then keep going.  There are suns and planets out there that are huge.  So big that we don’t even know how to comprehend their size.  My mind can’t even get around the notion that these big stars are only small when compared to the total size of the universe.  Here we are, on a tiny speck of sand in the grand cosmos pretending that it’s only 6,000 years old.  There are people so small on this planet that they actually believe they are the most important thing in the universe.  They think that their god magiced the whole thing up in under a week.  It’s simply crazy to believe such dribble.

There is a vast difference between what is termed "old-earth creationism" and "theistic evolution".

Well no, there’s not really any difference, both are fanciful stories that seek to force the universe into the words written by people over 3 thousand years ago.  They’re the same people who thought you could fit all the earth’s animals on a big boat for forty days.

While I have concern about the former I believe the latter cannot hold under the weight of the creation story intertwining with the Gospel. Consider this, God makes Adam and Eve approximately 6,000 years ago (this can be verified via genealogies).

I’m gonna stop you there Spinksy, how is it verified?  What independent sources did you use to verify the genealogies in the bible?  Well, you didn’t use any – because there are none.  Someone counted the generations in the bible going backwards and worked out the date.¹

If macro evolution had occurred previous to this creation we have a God who prescribes the term "good" on a process that improves a species only by generations and generations dying. Furthermore, the very essence of the Gospel, that is the depravity of man, is undermined by the lack of a historical Adam (the most compelling understanding of history from an evolutionary perspective).

So because you don’t want god waiting 10 million years before saying “Good” all the science is wrong?  That makes sense.

Also, Jesus is constantly referenced as the last Adam. If macro evolution were to be true this would have catastrophic implications upon the Gospel. This is not a meaningless quibble, it affects (and distorts) the very nature of man.

Evolution is true and that alone should be enough for you to throw religious fairy tales away.  Claiming the earth is no more than 6,000 years old shows how far your head is stuck in the bucket.  If you hold still I can kick it till it falls off.

Certainly the implications of the age of the universe should not be overstated. One can land on either side of the debate and be doctrinally sound in other, more important, areas. Nor should our theological discussions be fixated upon this topic (to the detriment of countless other topics). Yet we must not understate the importance of a solid biblical understanding of the creation of the universe. It does have ramifications upon other areas of Scripture and undermining it can lead people away from being convicted by the Gospel. It is for this reason that, on occasion, I may discuss the creation narrative in my articles.

The implication is that it shows what a crock of shit the notion of the earth being 6,000 years old is.  Basically Spinksy is saying that you have to accept that the world is only young because if you don’t then there are other parts of the bible that must also be make believe.  If you believe in evolution then you probably don’t want to buy into the young earth creationism crap.  That’s a worry for the likes of Spinksy, it means less followers because they have been led way from being ‘convicted by the gospel’.

Bring it on baby.
