I agree on your analysis of Zeitgeist, it has a great start, tails off towards the middle and the less said about the end the better!

I just like it mostly for its connections between the Zodiac Constellations and religions stemming from it all, it poops on religion from a great height.

Other than that you are right, that 2nd episode was pure batshit and could well have been left alone -

One book I would recommend is Jesus Never Existed by Kenneth Humphreys, go to http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/nazareth.html

to get an idea of what I was talking about. I was kind of on a weird quest to find a Jesus of Nazareth after typing to a chap called Mark Taunton on another thread. I challenged him to provide evidence of Jesus existing and he did indeed give me things to chase, good man that he is.

I stumbled across the above site and bought the book, then did a load of Googling on what Humphreys had come up with. The archaeological digs etc have all brought up a hefty amount of absolutely nothing and everything Al said in his post is pretty much what I know about the place.

I am now on a small quest to find how the character of Jesus was created, it is fascinating, a good book I found was The Near Eastern Myths of David and Jesus by Thomas L Thompson plus if you U Tube a rather weird but highly informative movie called Zeitgeist it may also help you out.

Hope that helps

A very quick question sir

You didst mention Nazareth in a post you made back the Olde Days of page 96, (Sigh, I remember them well!)

I thought the actual site for Nazareth was not found until at least about 385 AD after it was finally added on to the pilgrim trail.

I have also read that until AD 67 the spot where they claim it was situated it is was being used as a graveyard for a nearby Jewish town called Japha, then the Wromans under Emperor Trajan came along and snotted the Jews living there.

I also thought Nazareth was just Matthew mucking about with the word Nazarite, the cursed group of Jews from the 1st century. He cleverly managed to get Jesus into a prophesy about being all messiahry by instigating he grew up in Nazareth. This is impossible cos he must have grown up with the dead people - I suppose he could have raised them and had friends to play with but that's just plain wrong!

Can you help me out here, I have been studying this a bit and am fascinated by it all

Cheers

I think this is one of the best I have seen of Hitchens, another good one is when he mauls Alistair McGrath I think its somewhere on this site, very good if you can cope with McGrath's Oscar worthy performance of obfuscating and saying things like "but thats not the God I believe in", "I read the Selfish Gene once" and the all-time classic "I used to be an Atheist!"

I have read and studied History quite a lot, I have read watched or asked questions concerning Archaeology, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Common Sense, Rationality, Logic, Reason, Maths, Philosophy, Lemmy and they are all saying your God does not exist.

All I have from you is that you have faith and imagination about how and why your God exists. I have seen nothing more that could be considered as your evidence. I find it very weak to be honest.

What was I supposed to do? Am I supposed to be able to find God or Jesus knocking around behind the Laws of Science? (Funny how they would still work if God and Jesus were not included)

Am I supposed to look behind the proper history of the Earth to fit these guys in? (Funny how history works without God or Jesus!)

Come on David this is pointless, I am never going to find God, even your God, behind the evidence at everyone's disposal.

I saw a magnificent program called Stephen Hawking - Master of the Universe

This program, even to a complete science beginner like myself, was enormously interesting. Explanations of Quantum Theory, String Theory, M- Theory were fascinating as were Hawking's studies of black holes, I never knew they could create things as well as destroy. One thing I found utterly magnificent is that if gravity was understood more then the Theory of Life, Universe and Everything would be so much more understandable. I was also very interested to know that the force of gravity is weaker than it should be and that something is interfering with it.

Now, I tend to think that Professor Hawking and the other people studying the universe are EXTREMELY clever people.

However, now David has come up with this gem

Yes I am. I am totally amazed at the Universe. So much so that I cannot conceive of it as being self-existent, or having come from no where and nothing. Therefore I worship its Creator.

They may create something that thinks it's God. They may create something that believes in God.

(From the book Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams) The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.

"If we stay with animal analogies for a moment, owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection they will think you are god. Whereas the owners of cats are compelled to realise that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that THEY are gods (Cats may sometime share the cold entrails of a kill with you, but this is what a god might do if he was in a good mood")

Wipeout

I am honestly very sorry to hear about your condition but that was not what I was swearing and ranting at.

I was swearing and ranting at Wooter for his insensitive comments, those comments he made were also directed at you not just me - that you should be thankful to God for your condition and that God has blessed you for it.

Worse still he then said that he would go and pray about it which I find to be just so disgusting I am lost for words. What good is praying going to do to aid your condition, someone with cancer or even my condition? What good is asking the supposed God that, should he exist, had a part in creating all things including disease, bacteria, cancer cells etc?

That's like saying "Well, you did this to me and now I am going to love and thank you for it plus be your obedient slave". Hence the reason why I mentioned Stockholm Syndrome, its like being a hostage to someone who inflicts a great amount of suffering only for the victim to turn around and love them for it.

I don't hate Wooter, I don't know him well enough, I hate what he has been turned into by religion. I won't put up with comments like his, they are just so uncaring and insulting to all of those people struggling just to live in this world.

Wipeout, I hope that, like me, there are real people who care about you and will be there for you should you need them and that you can do the same for. That's proper love, that's proper caring. Trusting a figment of Wooter's imagination, loving it, obeying its impossible and made up commands, knowing, somehow, that his God not only made you this way but you should count it as a blessing and be grateful for it is so horribly wrong - its mental torture. That is not love, that is possibly one of the more evil things you can do or say to somebody.

That is why I swore a lot, I am sick of it all and I want it to stop, people deserve better than that.

Thank you all for all your comments, I now have a cup of Tea and have calmed down a bit, praise Quetz! :)

I guess I haven't sworn like that in a while but I will not stand by and be told that dying of a horrible disease or having something like I have is a blessing from Wooter's God that I should be thankful for thus increasing my love and worship for him. I will not be told I am being prayed for, that makes it 10 times worse and sickens me that somebody could say and think beyond all doubt its a moral, helpful and respectable thing to do.

Wooter I don't mind your lack of knowledge of Evolution. I don't mind you insisting that your logic outweighs the facts that the colossal geniuses that post on this site show you and you refuse to accept. Its insulting to them but they are big girls and boys who can take care of themselves. But you stepped way over the mark when you posted that complete load of insensitive delusional garbage that I spoke out against.

I hope you at least think about what I have said but I doubt if any of it broke through which both saddens and disgusts me.

Thanks again to all


I have got by in life knowing that real people do care and that they have been there for me not because of some god, but because they know I would do the same or more for them. God could never put a smile on my face and I thank goodness there are folk around who can! :)

Comment #140246 by Philip1978 on March 7, 2008 at 4:25 am

Wooter

It seems there are no objections so I want to discuss this small sentence of yours

"We are so much grateful to God."

WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I GOT TO BE GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR?

I have a disease which fucks up kid's lives for crying out loud, you think I should be happy about this? Do you honestly think its been fun for me in some masochistic way? Do you honestly want to believe that I have enjoyed my past few relationships that have ended in major heart-break over this?

How disingenuous does that sound "Sorry darling, I can't give you the kids you desire because its too dangerous and now that you are really crying cos I have broken your heart, I just want to thank God for blessing me with this disease!"

I said I was coping with it and, despite all this swearing, I am. Its been quite terrible but on the whole I am an optimistic man and I will not let this beat me down. I have acknowledged what damage this can cause and am being as careful as I can - one day I might find someone who does not want kids of their own. I am still living a normal life despite having my own small battles with this disease myself. I have a few learning difficulties here and there, Maths is a complete mystery to me and I sometimes forget what people ask me to do straight after they have asked me. I am lucky I only have a mild form of it. Suffice to say I have had tremendous support from my friends and family who have been there for me, I cant thank them enough. Your god can never be there for me or even you- there is no communication, contact - nothing but what you can imagine - my friends and family are real and I dont have to wish for them to help me, they do this cos they are fucking brilliant people.


What is it with you believers and this fucking stupid incessant need to WANT to suffer? I have said it once and I will say it again, this is Stockholm Syndrome.

From Wiki:

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed.

God is your hostage taker Wooter and boy what a complete imaginary bastard he is and the more of an imaginary bastard he is the more you love him for it.

I take all your bleating about God blessing us all to be highly insulting to all those who are suffering from stuff like Fragile X or something more life threatening like cancer or AIDS.


What is your answer to all this?

PRAYER!

That's it, you just sit there with your eyes shut asking the imaginary bastard who supposedly caused all this shit in the first place to make it better.

You could do anything in life Wooter, you could learn about science properly, you could learn about genetic diseases and biology, you could aid the team of geneticists who still cannot find a cure for my disease and see if you could come up with fresh ideas - I would applaud you for that, I would owe you a debt of gratitude that I could not possible ever pay back. You would be doing something so useful and life saving, it would be excellent of you. I feel this way about the good people researching ways to prevent this from happening to other people, they are doing so much good in this world its incredible.

But no, your answer is to sit there with your head up your arse hearing your voice echo in the tunnel, happily breathing in the poisonous and gaseous fumes whilst you are at it. When good people come along to tell you there are better and more helpful ways to end world suffering, you just keep shouting to God louder to drown out the other voices, enjoying the echoes and rejoicing in God's inactivity.

I am insulted to the core by your lack of care and understanding in this matter, I have been as kind as I can up until now but you really let me down when you said this

The parents who lose their kids at very early age will be rewarded in paradise to be together with their kids forever.

Thanks for your reply, I think I understand a bit, you reckon that all the suffering humans go through in normal life, it all goes away if you believe in God and end up in Heaven.

Reminds me of something Dr Christopher Hitchens said once in a speech

"So, you are lucky to be here, originally sinful and covered in shame and filth as you are. You are a wretched creature. BUT take heart, for the universe was designed with you in mind and heaven has a plan for you!"


I find no conciliation in knowing that God did this to me. I am to live the rest of my life breaking women's hearts and my own every time I get into a serious relationship because they want something I cannot give them. I have to be so extra specially careful NEVER to have children because otherwise they could be in serious trouble - but its ok, if I be good to God I can have fun after I snuff it!

Doesn't that sound just a little bit wrong to you Wooter? Why would your kind loving God think about doing this to someone - I had NO CHOICE in this matter, neither do any kids born with deformities or life threatening diseases like cancer or autism etc Is God having a laugh? Is he that evil?

I am hardly going to pat him on the back for this one am I?


I am not going to blame anything or anybody for this, it is what it is and I can live with it well enough. I don't want to kid myself into thinking anybody but a geneticist or biologist could cure this one day - someone with expertise in this particular area - someone who knows about evolution

Please, don't pray for me, it wont work I promise you.

I would advise you think about this properly, I understand you think Heaven is a great thing but I would still ask you to think why your God does this to innocent people

I am not bothered too much about this, in fact I am actually glad I know about it, the thought of inflicting this on another child would horrify me. but now I know, I can be careful, no harm done at all.

What I did ask is what you thought about it, I wanted to know if your God, the one that you claim had a hand in designing me, thought it right and just to give me this terrible disease. This disease is something I had NO control over what so ever, I was born with it - if you are claiming your God had something to do with designing the human race he would have to held accountable for this condition wouldn't he?

I have a strange genetic disease called Fragile X, which I was born with and did not develop it later in my life. This basically means if I ever had children, there is a great chance of a female child will be born with the equivalent of Autism and Downs Syndrome mixed together, if its male it could pass him by, it might affect his learning later in life, its not verified in my particular case. I had no choice in this matter, its just life and I am not in the slightest bit bothered by it or looking for a sympathy vote here. I just wanted to give you an example of what Al Rawandi was talking about in his post #250

What I am interested in is this, if your God is so real, why did he create such a disease which at this moment in time has no cure whatsoever and possibly may never be discovered in my lifetime?

I would prefer to blame crap biology if anything but even then I think that's a waste of time, there was no intent or manipulation by anything to make this happen to me - just means I have to be VERY careful not to ever have kids of my own. If your God is real then I would have to assume he did this to me and that does not paint your God in a good light does it? Thank goodness God does not exist!

Odd question, but you must know how odd I am by now :), would you accept a representative from, lets say, The Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster as a voice of authority when speaking on the same matters as the Pope or Archbishop of Canterbury?

Personally I don't find any of them to be figures of authority simply because the authority they claim to be speaking for cannot be answerable or contacted to verify their position - government officials are answerable to whom they represent because the authorities behind them actually have a voice.

My problem is that you are over reacting to something that you shouldn't be, I asked you very kindly to stop accusing Steve of dishonesty and I meant it. Steve is absolutely nowhere near the reprehensible and shallow depths that David Robertson has achieved in his vulgar and nasty manner that is his wont.

Don't accuse me of double standards either, if I thought Steve was up to no good I would agree with you but so far I have seen nothing of the sort.

This post is probably going to cause offence and so this is the last I will say on the matter as to avoid having an argument with you, its not what I want. This a thread that is supposed to be talking about people who write books so that they can wallow in the shallow limelight of good people's fame.


Again, I would also ask you as kindly as I can to calm down and give up with this line of argument,

You have proved some small evidence of existence simply by posting on this site. I would bet if arranged properly you and I could meet and have a cup of tea, its possible

If you want to find evidence of evolution, I would invite you over to the Natural History Museum in London and we could go look at the fossils all day, my treat!

But, if I asked you to to arrange a meeting with your God, things are going to get complicated aren't they? I am not mocking you, I am asking you, like a lot of people have asked, to provide some iota of evidence for your God and how to contact him to provide any missing details or misunderstandings.

The bible is not evidence, design is not evidence - I think the ladies and gentlemen on this site have told you enough times about a whole wide range of reasons why your God cannot be included as evidence in all the examples you have given.

Without wanting to sound too sarcastic, you need more than imagination to prove your God exists and works in this universe.

I wish you all the best of luck in that area but please, I urge you to look at the way others have shown you how evolution works and then see if you can provide alternatives that are as verifiable.

Kind Regards

One thing I do know about my time on this site is that Dr Steve Zara is no liar - he is in fact a highly intelligent, fun to talk to and thoughtful chap, I think you are mistaken and that his intent is not to offend you.

I hope you understand my intent is not to sound condescending to your good self, this is just my own personal observation and I would ask you to consider a different approach

Kind Regards

I know what David is like, any small thing said he will pick up on so he can twist it to his advantage.

I am almost slightly annoyed with myself for giving him even the slightest taste of ammunition to show your and Professor Dawkins's reputations in completely false ways, you guys deserve way better than that. But, he will always find something to play the victim with, always has done, always will do, regardless of what I type. I very much doubt anything I typed had much to do with his outburst, I would almost be flattered being quoted anonymously, but he is such a devious man any ridicule he receives and gets to moan about is all orchestrated by himself. I will see if I can learn in the future to do it more constructively so he has better things to moan about!

When Richard Dawkins asked Paula Kirby to write a review of mine, and other Christian books, I was sent several e-mails by atheists accusing me of cowardice, running away and not being able to refute Paula's arguments.

OK, own up, any of you atheists out there who did this.

I do like Shakespeare, I love this quote from Hamlet Act 1 Scene 3 that I quoted to David a long time ago:


Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whiles, like a puffed and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede

Sums David up rather nicely!

Artful, do you have any opinions on what I provided earlier?
