my online "conversation" with a friend who is pro-obama, and posted a video of obama's wife saying he will be "an extraordinary president":
insaner: does she mean "extroardinary" as in the amount of people (especially babies) who will die once he comes into office? pro-obama friend: how come baby will die. I believe barack will be a great president. insaner: hi [friends name]! well, hes fully in favor of abortion, and actually voted AGAINST the "born alive infant protection act" which would have protected babies that are born from being left on a table to die in the hospital. he also made a mockery of the bible, of religious people, poor people, he wants to teach kids in KINDER sex education and a bunch of other stuff that is just completely crazy. i used to be in favor of obama too, but then you start researching it all and you see hes really a bad choice pro-obama friend: Hi [insaner].
I understnad Christian cannot accept abortion. HOwever, you have to understnad that a lot of babies were unwanted by women in North America. They got pregenant by accidence, or by too young. Unwanted babies will not know how to care and how to love. They will cause trouble to the soceity. The tragedy of WWII was caused by a gourp of unwanted babies, including Adolf hilter insaner: wow [friends name], this is really shocking to hear. hitler killed people because of their ethnicity (something they could not help), abortion is killing people due to their age (something they cannot help) saying abortion is the solution to people like hitler is crazy, its just replacing hitlers killing with our own! i really cant believe you are saying its ok. legalized abortion has killed more people than hitler ever did, and lots of people who could be deemed "unwanted babies" have done more good for society than most "wanted" babies.
by the way, if the baby isnt wanted, then why make it in the first place? isnt prevention a lot less brutal than killing it? pro-obama friend: Yea, I didnt say killing is right, but Hilter himself was actually an unwanted baby.
Speaking of why those unwanted baby make it in the first place, you can read some social report by some social worker. Some teen girls have sexual intercourse with boys who evn couldnt be responsible for the girl and baby due to their ignorant. Then the guy is just leaving. If the girl doesnt not have money raising up the baby , they will just abandon the baby on the street. As a reasult, those babies will be street kids.
Not every couple in the world could be like your couple. If you go to youtube, searching teen pregenancy, you can see a lot of sad story.
Kids who were botn in the street have 80% probability to be gangster, prostitute, ended up taking druges and committing suicide. Go on the street, taking a look at the city, you will know whether I said is true or not.
This is a universal problem, and that is the reason they deliver condum to high school kids preventing unwanted baby insaner: i dont know where you heard hitler was an unwanted baby, since his parents went on to have 2 more kids after him. (and 3 more before) even if he had been, just because you are not wanted doesnt mean you will turn out bad, and just because you are wanted doesnt mean you will turn out good. dave thomas, the founder of Wendys (mmm delicious!) was an "unwanted" baby. beethoven was born into horribly poor conditions as were many of the world's greatest men (and yes, women) so this line of argumentation is not proper at all.
you are right, some girls (i would argue most) have sexual intercourse who could not be responsible for a baby, but that doesnt mean we should kill the baby, and much less after it is born (which is what obamas vote would allow) and the state of affairs in sexual education offered these days is that "sex is ok" no matter what, and they bombard us with sexual messages, and that plus hormones means kids cant control themselves, and there isnt always a condom around. [contd insaner: if we were to prevent this from the beginning we would teach sexual education as an aspect of morality in a preventive sense. killing babies is inexcusable, no matter if you are rich or poor. but when you remove the value over a human life because of its social/ethnic/economic background, then we open the way to commit such atrocities as hitler and stalin and many others have been able to do. keep that in mind when you think about your support for obama. remember that hitler did a lot of great things, he brought the country back together and gave it a great economic boom, led to the creation of affordable cars for everyone, and created a general sense of well being for the average german family (who happened to not be jewish, gypsy, black, asian, etc) the killing only started after he dehumanized these groups of people, and said they werent really human, but something "less". [contd] insaner: this is the same language that pro-abortion groups use by saying that before a baby is born, its "not really a human yet" which i find incredibly appalling
its so worrying to see the world we are living in.. i cant believe it
so an atheist on this question/answer site claimed to have been a "christian" for 8 years.. so, of course, i asked:
atheist: Like [other user] said, this conversation is over. I was formerly a christian. I believed in jesus christ and went to church and AWANA and religious camps. I know what im talking about. I look at the argument from all sides, while you guys dont. So judge me all you want, I know I'm right and it makes me feel good im not bound by the religious dogma so many christians display. insaner:
you say you used to be a christian, so what did you repent from? how old were you when you did and how soon after did you get baptized? if you had read the bible in your time as a "christian" you would know that you never really were one at all. just cuz there are christians who are jerks does not make God not exist. further, if you had been a true christian, you wouldve corrected those people who were doing wrong, as opposed to judging them and then casting them away without giving them a chance to change. christian? yeah right. atheist:
What did I repent from? what did I feel bad or sorry for? um...nothing? I never harmed anybody. I dont know why you say "christian, yeah right". I did consider myself a true believer, studied hard and remembered verses. Can you please tell my I wouldnt have been considered a christian then? just curious.
-I dont consider certain peoples actions (religious or not) when considering gods existence.
-I dont know who you're saying i shouldve corrected, or who I casted away... insaner:
luke 13:3
and repentance is not just "feeling bad or sorry" for something. its changing your ways from bad to good, from sin to God. if you never repented of anything, or even so much as felt bad or sorry, then you werent even close to being a christian. did you ever even read the bible?
then romans 3:23, then romans 6:23... if you dont have a bible, im sure you can refer to an online one.
you dont know what a christian is, you dont know how to become one, and you dont know who God is. how can you POSSIBLY claim to have ever been one????
ahh atheists, when will you ever stop deeming things "impossible" until your "science" religion allows it?? for each of these, imagine if the bible described it and imagine what an atheist would think.. "what, talking snakes? tree men?? what a bunch of fiction!!"
"31 old Huang suffers on neurofibrome from the birth. He was the object of cruel jokes because of the his appearance, by the whole life and social ostracism. He is known in the China and in the world as " elephant man". Doctors from the Chinese centre announced that they were able to remove already weighing above 15 kg growth on the face Huang. They have to do this as the most quickly, because the disease begins to deform the spine"
i cant help but think every time i see something unbelievable and strange, "would an atheist believe this if it were in the bible?" or just even outside of the bible, or at all.. geeze
well, obama just keeps losing points in my book. and this time, a first i have ever seen, a presidential hopeful making fun of the bible.. wow.. if this guy makes it to the white house, we are in such trouble.
let the record show that today, history was made, the reign of terror of joelie aka "clark" (as in "kent") aka "eagle's nest" was officially overthrown, and ended by me, aka insaner, aka "fox hound".. thats right with a final tally of 7 wins to 4 losses, joelie is no longer the undisputed bowling champion!! congratulations to all of you who were banking on me! despite attempts during one game to mimic my every move, whether i threw a 7 spare, or an 8 and gutter, he would do the exact same, but to no avail, since, as i told joelie, i am here to break his pride, i am only a servant of the Lord, and as they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall, so today (technically yesterday) joelie had a 6'4"-6'5" fall of humility. thank you to all who have been praying for this. amen!
useful verse in regards to mormonism and people who say they are prophets, or that you have to follow the law:
The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Atheists: how many of you take it on faith that your dad is actually your dad? and how many of you have actually gone out to get the proof/evidence for it?
i liked this, its an answer to the question "If the Almighty is Invisible, how can we be sure of His existence? How would an atheist believe in a God?" that somebody posted. not sure about the source
During 1800s, Anthropologists had a problem as to
how to classify human beings. One researcher
proposed the expression "intelligent animal".
After advanced studies on monkeys, it was dropped.
Another researcher proposed "tool using animal".
After observing some animals making wooden tools
and sharpening them with knife like stones, it was
dropped. Another researcher proposed "weapon using
animal". A decade ago, a rare film was shot by an
amateur in an African forest. One short monkey was
hit very badly by a big monkey. The short monkey
prepared a wooden knife using stones and hid it on
the top of a tree. After some days, when the big
monkey came to attack the short monkey, it ran up
to the tree for the weapon it has hid and killed
the big monkey. The one thing that the
anthropologists found with any group of human
beings, even if they did not have contacts with
the out side world for thousands of years, is
spirituality with some form of religion. So, man
is a "spiritual animal" if you want to call him
that way.
The Upanishads say that "Manush" (human) was so
named because he has "Manas" a mind higher than
that of the animals which realizes the divinity in
creation. It was present since the creation of
human beings. Religion is the characteristic
feature of most of the human beings. It was not
attained through reasoning using mind. Illiterate
tribes located in inaccessible forests also have
religion. It is as eternal and and as unchanging
as the Almighty. Disbelief by a few will not
affect it.
Acer and Microsoft may be heading for a public spat after the Taiwanese vendor publicly cited the Redmond-based software firm itself as the reason why it was moving towards Linux.
Speaking to VNUnet, Acer's vice president of marketing and brand Gianpiero Morbello said that the firm was moving away from Microsoft, but conceded that it would be "difficult" to move away from the Windows platform.
"We have shifted towards Linux because of Microsoft," he said. "Microsoft has a lot of power and it is going to be difficult, but we will be working hard to develop the Linux market."
available as we speak, commercial (ie, "not specially ordered, but out for the consumer at large") acer laptops with linuxpreinstalled! expect HUGE growth in the quality of linux in the coming months, as well as HUGE support from other makers.. awesomeness..
ok, here it is, time to settle it once and for all, atheism is a religion!!
A religion is a set of tenets and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law.
barak obama will indeed introduce "change" to the US, but find out if thats the change you actually want to see happen
"Kill and Destroy" Synopsis:
Featuring an interview with Jill Stanek, "Kill and Destroy" explores Barack Hussein Obama's support of infanticide in Illinois, an alarming decision that was opposed by every Democrat and Republican in the U.S. Senate.
"What does it take to make a man a monster any more?" Illuminati Pictures president Molotov Mitchell recently wrote. "If Americans can watch this video and still support Barack Obama, then America is...beyond all hope."
as of yesterday, am officially no longer considered part of the "youth".. *tear* bye bye youth.. you will be missed, i will hold on to your memories forever!
to celebrate, we went bowling the night before (right after the town hall thing) me, my lovely wife and joelie.. 3 hours all you can bowl for $15!! awesome! after which we drove around trying to find an a & w burger joint to go use our coupons to get 2 mozza burgers for $5 (etc), tho we didnt find any, so we had to settle on pizza.. oh, we used joelie's navigation system.. IN ESTONIAN! haha.. it was awesome.. we couldnt stop laughing every time the lady told us to turn right.. then we drove up away from the city lights, basically kept driving after the last street lights (almost pitch black) and then went in some secluded street, parked there and set up a midnight (except it was like 1am) picnic where we watched the perseid meteor shower and ate our pizza.. it was so great.. then at around 3:30am we drove back home, and the next "day" (ie, a few hours later) joelie came back with like 3 bags of a&w food, burgers, drinks, fries etc.. and we played a bit of games, after which baron said he would show up.. which he did.. and then bibis, willy the jay (aka guiyyi), and luz (aka "luh!") all jumped out of the corner and yelled "surprize" and almost managed to kill me on my own anniversary of the expulsion of my living body from the uterus of my female parental unit (aka "birthday" or "bday" for short).. my heart seriously went nuts after that.. oh those kids.. and they brought cheesecake (which i heart) and chips and we ate and laughed and had fun and shared stories and baron farted.. and farted.. and farted.. but it was great fun! (we have glade air freshener, so itll be ok.. eventually) all in all.. a good time.. (note to self: see? now you wont forget!)
so, it seems my stupid ass federation of students has now found upon itself to not just censor, but almost prohibit pro life (or as they like to call it, "anti-choice") groups on campus.. and today, within a few hours [editors note, i was unable to post this before going so pretend like i posted this on monday at 3:45pm], is a "town hall" meeting called by none other than the atheist group on campus, who is concerned about how this affects our rights to free speech on campus. thats right, even though the atheist group members are fully pro choice, they find this action ridiculous, and have risen against it. so now, i find myself researching as much as i can to be ready for this meeting.. heres some stuff about the risks of abortion to mothers who abort that i have found:
A LIST OF MAJOR PHYSICAL SEQUELAE
RELATED TO ABORTION
DEATH: According to the best record based study of deaths following pregnancy and abortion, a 1997 government funded study in Finland, women who abort are approximately four times more likely to die in the following year than women who carry their pregnancies to term. In addition, women who carry to term are only half as likely to die as women who were not pregnant.
[...] Legal abortion is reported as the fifth leading cause of maternal death in the United States, though in fact it is recognized that most abortion related deaths are not officially reported as such.
gasp!! can you believe this??
BREAST CANCER:
The risk of breast cancer almost doubles after one abortion, and rises even further with two or more abortions.
[...] CERVICAL, OVARIAN, AND LIVER CANCER:
Women with one abortion face a 2.3 relative risk of cervical cancer, compared to non-aborted women, and women with two or more abortions face a 4.92 relative risk.
[...] UTERINE PERFORATION:
Between 2 and 3% of all abortion patients may suffer perforation of their uterus, yet most of these injuries will remain undiagnosed and untreated unless laparoscopic visualization is performed.
[...] CERVICAL LACERATIONS:
Significant cervical lacerations requiring sutures occur in at least one percent of first trimester abortions. Lesser lacerations, or micro fractures, which would normally not be treated may also result in long term reproductive damage.
[...] PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE (PID):
PID is a potentially life threatening disease which can lead to an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy and reduced fertility. Of patients who have a chlamydia infection at the time of the abortion, 23% will develop PID within 4 weeks. Studies have found that 20 to 27% of patients seeking abortion have a chlamydia infection. Approximately 5% of patients who are not infected by chlamydia develop PID within 4 weeks after a first trimester abortion.
(this list includes as its sources: International Journal of Epidemiology, Journal of Epidemiological Community Health, Obstetrics and Gynecology, British Journal of Cancer, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Journal of Reproductive Medicine, International Journal of Cancer, New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, American Journal of Public Health.. as well as others)
fyi: "Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants anywhere other than the uterine wall"
theres many many more.. but you can just run your own search and find these and more out there.
and its unbelievable.. why arent the pro-"choice" groups telling us these facts? telling WOMEN these facts?? is this "choice" to be an uneducated one?? well.. ill tell you why.. if they did, theyd think twice about murdering the baby that depends on them, not due to concern over the fact that they are killing, nono, at least due to concern over their own health.. at least!
Stalin was a far worse killer of humanity than Hitler.
His career was one long record of brutality and murder starting in the 1920's. His efforts to destroy private farms in Ukraine led to millions starving to death. Millions more died in various industrialization projects that were built using slave labor, labor that was worked to death in extreme climates.
Stalin instigated wars with Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Romania, and Lithuania - all by 1940. All were bloody affairs with civilian and military alike being slaughtered. Prior to this he had fought a short war with Japan over border issues in north China. He lent major support to communist movements throughout the world, but most effectively in China. This led to constant conflict between the rebel communist groups and the legitimate, Nationalist, government of that country.
During WWII he encouraged tactics which led to the deaths of about 8,000,000 of his own soldiers. Additionally about 2,800,000 German/Hungarian/Romanian/Finnish troops were killed by his armies. His scorched earth policy meant starvation for millions of his own people overrun by the German invasion. Stalin's policies meant to mercy to prisoners and huge numbers died after being taken captive during the war. Perhaps 30,000,000 persons of various nations died because of Stalin just during WWII.
Following WWII, Stalin instigated a policy of terror on the German people. This led to about 2,000,000 German civilians being murdered outright and thousands more commiting suicide. Additionally Stalin enforced brutal police states on all the peoples of eastern Europe which he overran with his armies. Tens of thousands died in these takeovers. German POWs were kept in horrible conditions for as long as ten years after the war, leading to the deaths of at least 1,000,000.
As the war in Europe wound down in 1945, he launched an unprovoked war with Japan, killing many tens of thousands of Japanese troops and capturing many others that were brutally treating in POW camps. Arms captured from the Japanese were then turned over to Stalin's communist allies among the Chinese people.
These Chinese, thus well armed, quickly routed the legitimate government forces in that country and placed a terrorist criminal gang in charge, led by Mao. Mao then used his Stalin backed power to instigate his own slaughter of the Chinese, leading to perhaps 30,000,000 dead from all causes.
Stalin also armed the north Koreans and pressed them into a war with the western nations. This led to the deaths of perhaps 1,000,000 Koreans, 50,000 Americans, and 100,000 or so Chinese.
Meanwhile in the USSR, Stalin's concentration camps were crammed with millions of inmates, who died by the thousands from overwork, exhaustion, starvation, scurvy, shooting, beatings, and disease.
Compared to Stalin, Hitler was an amatuer at murder and slaughter. However, by winning WWII, Stalin has been largely ignored in the history books as the astonishingly prolific killer that he was.
and yet, stalin didnt beat the abortionists since Roe vs Wade, who have killed some 50million innocent babies..
ill post it again:
Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, "But we knew nothing about this,"
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?
A married man who used to be a woman says that he is pregnant and will give birth to a baby girl in July.
[...]
Mr Beatie was born female, named Tracy Lagondino, but had gender reassignment surgery and is now legally male and married to a woman.
[...]
He decided to carry a baby for his wife, Nancy, because she had a hysterectomy years ago. He was able to get pregnant because he kept his female organs when he switched genders.
oh. my. goodness.
see, this is what happens when words lose their meaning. when we call people with a Y chromosome (who are not AIS.. btw, read the link, its very informational.. heres more on wiki) anything but "man" or "he".. now we make it possible for a "man" to be "pregnant".. what is this insanity?
“A transgender man can be pregnant because he has the same organs as a woman,” Dr Masterson said on the ABC Good Morning America show.
yeah.. hmm.. same (working) organs as a woman? yeah, in my world we call these "women".. but thats just cuz we're weird..
hahah oh man, who knew politics could be so funny.. so mccain makes an obama-britney-paris attack video.. and then hilton strikes back.. to enormous hilarity
firstly, not all religions claim to be right, a few dont even make any claims other than being "a path", for example.
but as someone stated above, when you have differing, contradicting views, then at most one can be right. an example: you have 4 people in a room, each one makes a claim about the color of the sky, one says its red, the second says its green, the third says its orange and the last says its blue. they all contradict, but only one is correct. if the last person had said the sky is purple, then yes, theyd all be wrong, and if any of the others had agreed with the last, those two would be right.
the truth doesnt change, no matter what you believe in. you can insist the sky is orange all you want, but it wont make it so. but as soon as you acknowledge its blue, then you are right.
the same with religions they can all claim what they want, whether its that God doesnt exist, that there are many gods, that you can become one, or that there is only one God.. but the truth doesnt vary depending on adherents to it. you can only stray from the truth or acknowledge it.
by the way, a religion is a set of beliefs and practices in regards to the supernatural, and is different to "faith" due to the addition of these practices. for example, you have the christian faith, and then a few religions that have this faith while differing in practice (the rituals performed, and the obligations they place upon members) for example. yet they may all still believe in the same tenets. and then you have whole other religions that claim to be christian (in regards to faith) but yet believe things that contradict the christian faith (such as that there are multiple gods, or that you can pray to dead people etc) which excludes them from that faith.
in other words, two different religions can claim to be right and as long as they dont contradict (assuming of course they are right) they both can be.
hope that helps
for my answer to "does God exist"
[ill post this next]
found it on a website, seems to be a quote from "kingdom of heaven"
"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say 'but I was told by others to do thus' or that 'virtue was not convenient at the time'. This will not suffice. Remember that."
hahah ooook, from one of the google ads on my site:
are you a real atheist? or are you just pretending? find out if you have the God gene.
mary.com
hahah.. geeze.. so obviously i click on it to find out more about it.. BEWARE! its a trojan website.. it sends you to a "secure download" place and tries to install a program on your computer (beware windows people.. everyone else is safe, obviously) mary.com, hahah.. cuz mary would be the one who can determine if you have the "God gene"
i am an ebay addict (not really, but its more entertaining to say it that way).. i just got a usb adapter for a 4gb SD card we found on the street during our trip, and it cost me $0.50 and free shipping.. thats right, for half a dollar i have 4gb usb storage.. niiice. see? ebay can be good! just dont buy a used projector.. *sighs sadly* or anything big for that matter.. and especially dont let some colombian guy with a thick accent to convince you to get it, when you know you shouldnt..
oh, and this weekend was the much afamed weekend movie and video game marathon!! regrettably, the baron had to drop out (cuz he's a ninny of course) so it was just joelie and me.. we watched 3 movies and played i cant remember how many hours of video games (well, "played" is such a strong word.. mostly it was me handing him his heart on a platter.. i would tease him and let him win sometimes, just so he wouldnt throw a fit and go green and destroy the apartment lou ferrigno style and the like.. you know..) we slept nothing.. (his idea really) and then the next day we went to the park with amansito where he tried to convert us to sikhism but he was outnumbered by christians (guiyyi, bibis, ricardo, gustavo were there as well.. actually it was their idea, they just invited us along), so instead we just played some "toss the pigskin" (ie, football) and volleyball.. good times good times.. the weekend is yet young though.. more to be had.
