The Fuzzy Logic Of Useful Idiots

By Giordano Bruno

It hurts to be wrong. Not just emotionally, but physically, especially when it’s public, like swimming headfirst into a school of very ill-tempered jellyfish…..or maybe piranha. The horror of it is almost cinematic. The more artificially pumped your ego, or the more brainwashed with academic pretension, the more terrifying that [...]

Slandering of Christianity for Hegel’s Sake

[ Part of the diabolical logic of Hegel and his epigones is to create consensus of antithetical viewpoints.  Truth is found in a factitious unity - not through real discovery of the truth.  Hence the "god of tolerance" that is being everywhere lauded by our social engineers and worshiped by the media....  How to [...]

The 9-11 Charade

The entire 9/11 thing was a charade meant to advance the evil agenda of globalists…  Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama (sp?) — all work for the same people.

If you are what you eat, we are all in deep trouble. What constitutes healthy food is a debate that can encompass different viewpoints. In spite of this, control of the food chain is a concern that crosses [...]

Disfiguring women in the name of religion

[ Know them by their fruits... When was the last time a Jewish or Christian sect disfigured a woman's face in the name of their religion? When was the last time members of a church performed female "circumcision" on virgin girls, or decapitated others in the name of their faith, for that matter? [...]

Kagan against homeschooling

[ Homeschooling - like other principles of God-given freedom enshrined in the US Constitution - is regarded as a threat to fascist indoctrination and control programs, which is the primary reason why flaming liberals detest it.  Liberals demand absolute devotion (i.e., control) over people's lives -- which explains their theophobia and their secular jihad [...]

30,000 Anti-Global Warming Scientists want a word with you

Nature Magazine, the academic journal that introduced the world to X-rays, DNA double helix, wave nature of particles, pulsars, and more recently the human genome, is set to publish a paper in June that shows atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is responsible for only 5-10% of observed warming on Earth.

As explained by the paper’s [...]

Main Stream Media Suppresses Truth

[ It is lamentable, but the main stream media is little more than a lapdog to powerful political interests that WANT to systematically deceive the American people (and the world).   It takes moral courage to report the truth; the main stream media has no real courage; therefore it exists as a method of [...]

50 years of Global Cooling Predicted

Who said the science was settled?

Cosmic rays and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), both already implicated in depleting the Earth’s ozone layer, are also responsible for changes in the global climate, a University of Waterloo scientist reports in a new peer-reviewed paper.

In his paper, Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, shows how CFCs [...]

Appeal to Ignorance

[ When the premises of an argument affirm that nothing has been proved about something, and the conclusion makes a definite assertion about that thing, the argument commits an appeal to ignorance. Mr. Obama's argument is like GW Bush's regarding the "effectiveness" of waging the war on terror...  After all, since waging the war, the [...]

Expert Advice Shuts Your Brain Down

A brain-scanning study of people making financial choices suggests that when given expert advice, the decision-making parts of our brains often shut down.

The problem with this, of course, is that the advice may not be good.

“When the expert’s advice made the least sense, that’s where we could see the behavioral effect,” said [...]

Reason’s Greetings – and Suicide

By John Parsons www.hebrew4christians.com

Go to your local bookstore these days and you might be surprised to see a spate of flashy new books advocating atheism. “The God Delusion” (Dawkins), “God is not great” (Hitchens), “The Atheist Universe” (Mills), etc., etc., are all highly marketed, big-buck productions (and even New York Times bestsellers).

Common Propaganda Techniques

One of his rules of thumb has become a standard guideline for thinking through issues logically. Occam’s Razor is the principle [...]

Common Fallacies in Thinking

( Note: This list comes from the Atheism web and the examples given are pretty shoddy. However, the list is fairly good, and we should always be sensitive to using language and reasoning in a intellectually honest way when sharing our convictions with others… )
