Happy Atheist Forum

F

You can stop talking about anything you don't wish to talk about. You also don't have to read threads that don't interest you. Additionally, you don't have to feel compelled to participate in threads that don't interest you. I noticed you decided to post a sarcastic personal message to karadan in this thread, apparently because you don't want people talking about disprivong god. That's not what we're about.

Quote from: "karadan"You can't disprove it. That is why religion exists. You can, however, put forward a very eloquent case as to why following religion is ultimately foolhardy and a waste of time.

It is probably best to look back over many of the threads created here. This forum contains stunningly intellectual users who possess genuine literary talent. You'll have a great time reading, I'm sure.

Your farts must smell like roses as well.

Like I said don't down yourself to the level as to the Christians.

You can't be flaming people...or overly self promoting yourselves....all best.

All best.

You really need to try to better understand what an atheist/agnostic is. It's explained repeatedly all over this forum, and has been explained directly to you. Keep in mind that we talk about every subject we can think of. Nothing is excluded, and we don't have to join in threads that we don't care for.

Quote from: "maestroanth"Can we stop talking about disproving god.  And grow our own logic.  Otherwise, we won't get anywhere.

Comon,  http://www1.wfubmc.edu/molecular_geneti ... ancer/Cui/ (http://www1.wfubmc.edu/molecular_genetics/Faculty+Members/Cancer/Cui/)

Dr. Zheng Cui has found a 100% cancer cure for mice.  And on Human tissue Got even faster results....but FDA won't  allow it.

Atheists Comon!  This is one guy I actually took my time reading up on, instead of disproving moses, it's time to take logic into action.  It's specific immunotherapy, and can provide healthcare, don't use better brains than "I hate Christians"  DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

I wish I can find what I was researching on during my thyroid problems....but I see the reason for logic has lots to grow.

Interesting research, and it's headed in the direction that medicine wants to go, but the citation you linked to didn't say anything about a 100% cancer cure for mice, or humans. Is there another link you can post to that particular item?

Um... right, because I'm certain we could have crafted a cure for cancer if only we talked about that more  

I'm not concerned with disproving God so much anymore as I am just getting a laugh out of the best comedy of all time: religion.

Besides we discuss a lot of different philosophies in the Philosophy forum.

At first, I thought, "I remember reading about research like that when I started my undergrad, almost ten years ago." Then I clicked on the link. Hey, look at that. Ten years ago. Maybe all those drugs didn't completely destroy my long term memory.

...What was I talking about? Oh, right.

Any sort of treatment of that nature takes years of testing, retesting, re-retesting and re-re-retesting before it even gets close to FDA approval.

As for the suggestion that atheists put their energy toward better things, I think you're assuming too much. For most of us (though I'm assuming here, too, but from personal experience) the energy atheists put into this is done so as a sort of hobby--call it a Special Interest--when they're not doing their real jobs (which are, more often than not, humanitarian in nature; I, for one, am in education and help poor, rural African villages get general and textbooks to help build schools and general libraries, and in my spare time I work with Amnesty International, volunteer in a soup kitchen and read to deaf kids*).

But, I guess you're right: I could use my time and energy more wisely.

*I don't really read to deaf kids, but damn, wouldn't that have been awesome? Maybe I'll start.

Actually, my farts currently smell more like a Carrion flower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrion_flower) mainly because i've spent the last week eating nothing but Italian meats and cheeses.

That ould be a tremendous help. As of right now the only volunteer reading to deaf children is our 43rd President. And as you can see he's in need of some help:

Wow. What a revelation. Good to know that cancer will be cured in two years. I think the two years is already up, based on the start date of the research.

 

This information is so misleading on so many levels as to be almost criminal. I don't even know where to start. Conclusions were leaped upon like French Tart on board a Three-Masted Schooner.

WBCs show some activity in some mice, with some cancer. That is not a cure for cancer. Stem cell transplant shows much greater promise in a wider variety of cancers, along with targeted immunotherapies and other targeted therapies.

Quote from: "maestroanth"I guess it's not the trolling, but it's the arrogant attitude I get.  I don't believe in swears, calling me #($*&#*$ will affect me less. Anywho.

The "arrogant attitude" you get is your own interpretation of my, and others', weariness at answering your rambling, almost unintelligible, posts. Not arrogance. And please feel free to show us exactly where I "called you #($&#$".

Quote from: "maestroanth"What's French Tart Three Masted Shooner?

It's a metaphor (or is that a simile? Always had trouble with those).

Quote from: "maestroanth"WBC when I googled means, World Boxing Council?

Well, you're the one who posted the original article on WBCs (White Blood Cells). I would expect that at the very least you would have read it and knew what they were.

Quote from: "maestroanth"I admit, I can't find the best of sites for that guy anymore (Zen Cui), I just don't like the mind-less dirt on the subject.

Are you referring to your own posts? I would disagree that mine are mindless on this topic.

Quote from: "maestroanth"Actually, the research is a targeted immunotherapy.  Nothing more.

Not really. This is more of a "shotgun" approach, since: 1) the mechanism of action is not fully understood, and 2) the WBCs are not targeting specific proteins or binding sites. They are acting as more of a direct cell kill, and as of the date of the article you posted, it was not known what other cells or structures were being affected clearly.

Quote from: "maestroanth"Post links is all I ask. Like I did.  I'm sick of mud-slapping.

Post links to what? You posted the link, and I responded to it. My response isn't mud slapping, it is an argument that this therapy is not actually what is claimed in your posted article. As of today, this is not any more effective than even chemotherapy, let alone the actual targeted therapies. Here is a link that you could have very easily looked up on Google, by typing in "Targeted Cancer therapies".

Quote from: "maestroanth"All I ask, is fix my stupidity.

That is not our job.  You are an adult who is responsible for his own actions.

What the hell is mudslapping? Is it like mudslinging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudslinging)?

It sounded so grossly fetish-like that I couldn't stop laughing about it. Had to get up and walk away from the computer for a few minutes. Just the sheer mountain of potential jokes that could include the phrase "mud-slapping" was too much to take!

Honestly, I wanted to find a work-safe porn GIF of mud-sex but... I was at work and didn't want to sift through all the not safe for work pictures in a library.

If anyone could find one though, it would be you. I'd put my money on you for these every time!

Not sure if this one is SFW... technically, yes.

Good grief Curio!! Technically that was safe for work but the lady stood behind me waiting to collect her laptop certainly didn't think so!  :banna:

Maybe it should be considered NSFW; you never know what some might consider sexual harrasment.  Of course, if we were going to take it that far then bananas should be banned from the office since if accidentally held in the wrong way they imply sexual intentions.

For many, this forum is NSFW.

That is an excellent point Whitney.

No way. Bananas are proof of God! How could that be tainted with sexual innuendo?

This forum is NSFL for a lot of people. (Not Safe For Life   ) Then again, people are stupid.
