Anti-Mythicists Are Pathetic.

This is not remotely the first time I’ve seen it, but yesterday, it really hit home just how pathetic a lot of atheists are when it comes to Jesus mythicism. Remember, I am not stating that no Jesus ever existed, I simply point out that we have no evidence whatsoever for any real Jesus, such that even if there was a real Jesus, we couldn’t say anything demonstrably real about him.

But come on, this is ridiculous and it happens all the time! Continue reading Anti-Mythicists Are Pathetic.

Just Had One of the Dumbest Discussions

This is one of those things that you just shake your head at and find it hard to believe that it just happened but it did. I stumbled into this thing in the middle, so I don’t know how it started, but over on Reddit, there was a discussion going on about determinism and free will and I asked the self-identified hard determinist a question.

You’re not going to believe what he said. Continue reading Just Had One of the Dumbest Discussions

This is Why Gen-Z Fails

I ran across a video, while I was waiting for stuff to finish at work, and sometimes, I just watch random crap on YouTube, because why the heck not? Anyhow, it was a video, complaining that young people can’t get jobs.

You can, but you have to understand what employers are looking for and sadly, most young people these days, they simply don’t. In fact, they have spent their entire educational career shooting themselves in the foot. I’m going to explain it and I’m going to speak very slowly because after talking to a lot of these people, it’s obvious that I have to. Continue reading This is Why Gen-Z Fails

How to Lose Respect: The Trans Edition

I had a distasteful encounter with a trans advocate/fanatic yesterday. They showed up in a science fiction forum and started demanding that trans people weren’t shown the respect that they “deserved” and somehow everyone “owed” them things and damn it, we’d better pony up, or else!

I think you can understand how that played out. They ended up running away screaming that we were all “-ists” before the moderators banned their account because that’s how so many of these encounters go. They don’t have to, and I figure you can guess what political ideology they were espousing, but I wanted to take a few minutes to explain how reasonable trans people can behave.

You’re Not Special!

I just had this bizarre conversation with a theist who simply couldn’t deal with reality. That’s a common problem, I know, but this guy  (or gal, no clue) really illustrates why the religious have so many problems. They simply cannot handle reality as it actually is. They have to invent nonsense to comfort their childish feelings.

That’s absolutely pathetic. Continue reading You’re Not Special!
