"I don't think we came from monkeys. I think that's ridiculous. I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet. If I get to the other side and God's like, 'You know what, yep, you were a monkey once,' I'll be shocked, but I'll be cool with it. They have to make you care. They have to force it down your throat. When anybody has to force it -- it's a problem. You didn't have to force that the world was round. Truth is truth."

You didn't have to force that the world was round? So what? Everybody always knew that? You sure had to force that the world revolved around the sun and not the other way around.

Holy shit my irony meter just burst into flames.  Beck is talking about the dangers of forcing an idea?  Did he do this using concentric circles on his blackboard with lots of Nazi imagery?  Uh huh...

Nah. Level headed debate never gets ratings. Charismatic, Irrational fearmongering/hatemongering with crazy conspiracy theories and heartfelt emotional pleas thrown in gets rating. We can never compete with that. You ever seen Nancy Grace? That ugly harpy really plays on the heartstrings of the huddled masses. Both these people kinda remind me a certain visionary I once read about.

Hell, I had a really creepy Hitler pic but i cant figure out how to upload it.

Sad but true. Pathos always seems to appeal to more people than logos. Maybe we need one really famous highly emotional atheist. Hmmm....

Go back, and around the url of your pic, remove the carets ("<",">") and then put the term "img" inside brackets ( "[" or "]" ).  To end the command string, again, inside brackets, preface the "img" with a backslash: " / " .  I will here  use parentheses where brackets should go, because otherwise php will blank them out: (img)http://www.xxx.com/pic(/img)

If you replace the parentheses with [brackets] and have the url right, your pic will show.

Sunday Sermon




The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.
