A LESSON IN LOGIC
 (Especially useful for the America-haters.)

 In the aftermath of attacks against innocent people by violent mobs, I have seen as much hatred directed at the victims' group (Americans) as at the perpetrators of the crimes.  This is normal.  There is rampant anti-Americanism throughout the world.  Hatred against Americans is as illogical as hatred against someone born of a certain race.  In both cases, the people had NO CHOICE in the matter.  With religion, assuming people are thinking beings which can theoretically free themselves from brainwashing, faith IS A CHOICE.  This is the thing that so many people (I'm sorry to say, mostly liberals), can't get through their heads.

 Americans are simply people who were born within certain borders (or moved there).  They have no common ideology which they subscribe to.  They are individuals.  This also applies to the people of every country and race.

 Religions, on the other hand, are common ideologies which people subscribe to.  There are sects and individual interpretations, but they generally have books which tell them what to believe.  If you believe that the Qur'an is completely true and something to live by, then you must believe that these verses from it are true and something to live by:

 9:123 - "O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous."

 9:73 - "O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination."

 3:151 - "We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers."

 5:51 - "O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people."

 I can go on.

 Whoever believes those verses...that is, believes that the Qur'an is a guide for living and is right in what it says, well, these are ALL horrible people.  So, I don't have to stereotype or generalize.  ALL...EVERY ONE...of the people who believe this is my enemy.  And they are your enemy, too.  I'm not saying that you want to destroy them.  I'm only saying that they want to destroy you.  It's right there, in the pages, clear as can be.

 I should start calling people Muslims by percentage.  That percent represents how much they take from the Qur'an.  The West is teeming with "Cafeteria Christians".  They call themselves Christians, but they are perhaps only 25% Christian or less.  In places like Turkey and Malaysia, the "Muslims" might be 25% Muslims.

 I can be friends with 25% Muslims.  In fact, I have 25% Muslim friends.  But I have no 50%, 75%, or 100% Muslim friends.  And I know for a fact that zero...that's ZERO 100% Muslims in the world would ever be my friend.

 Now, actually, nobody is a 100% Muslim, as the Qur'an is so riddled with contradictions that they need a system to sort out all of them called "Naskh (tafsir)", but you know what I mean.  I can't be more specific and say 92% Muslim.  I don't have that knowledge.  Let's just say it represents the top quarter.  These people are the refuse of the earth.  They should not be allowed into any civilized countries.  They are a plague.

 But 10% Muslims like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, I can definitely have a nice time with.

 I just wanted to clear things up.  And the next time you say something bad about Americans, especially in a very callous time when Americans have been attacked, you are being an asshole.  And if you say something about the United States or Israel, or even Iran or Saudi Arabia, please suffix that by using the word "government", or be more specific such as "Donald Rumsfeld" or "Ahmadinejad".  If you try, I will, too.

 That, in itself, would go a long way towards convincing me that you're not a stereotyping asshole.

Sokal-style hoaxes work for religious postmodernists, but (post) modernism is the real hoax Modernism in art and architecture, and postmodernism in philosophy are, like religion, insults to human intelligence.  Unfortunately, many people fall for their hollow propaganda. The "Sokal Affair" was a hoax whereby a man called Alan Sokal submitted a postmodern-sounding article to a postmodern journal.  It turns out that the English you hear isn't just unintelligible to you, but it's unintelligible to the people at the journal as well.  But if it's unintelligible, it must be profound, right?  The journal quickly accepted it, not knowing that it was all fake B.S.  They then got embarrassed when they were told that it was pompous-sounding drivel. Religion has done the same thing.  When people can't understand something, they generally think it's much more profound than if they can understand it.  If a priest speaks Latin, wears some weird costume, and sp...

The Islamic State has beheaded at least 21 Christians in Libya.

Whenever a Muslim brings up the Crusades, I have to laugh to myself.  Christians have done horrible things, including in later crusades against Constantinople and the Cathars in particular.  However, get this.  The Islamic State militants said, "Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for" right before butchering Egyptian Christians. It seems that many Muslims haven't taken a single history class.  If they had, they would have known that Christians existed in Egypt for 400 years before Islam.  (Heck, they were even around to murder Hypatia, perhaps the last major ancient female philosopher.)  It was the Muslims who were the "Crusaders"...yet almost nobody will admit to this.  Muslims instigated a merciless war against Christian Egyptians until they were overcome and under Islamic domination.  They did this to people across the world, from Spain to India...massacring any who resisted.  They tried to destroy the Byzaintine Em...

2020 Was (Will Be) An Inside Job

My Election Prediction: Trump will lose. I think that the collusion of corporate media with big tech is too powerful for the minds of regular people to resist. The propaganda was non-stop, and enough people have fallen for it. I think that without the censorship, and with a modicum of objectivity in the media, Trump would win. Sure, people have their own reasons for supporting both Trump and Biden (= not Trump). Some of those reasons on both sides are sound. But a decent percentage of people are mindless consumers of propaganda, and these people will ultimately decide the election. 2016 shocked the deep state and their corporate overlords, but since their stunning loss, they made sure to do everything in their power so as not to suffer a similar defeat this time. They covered all of their bases, along with the mouths of those whose speech they feared. Meanwhile, Americans as a group no longer really care about the freedom of speech, and many are lukewarm on the idea of America ...
