He's shooting hoops. What the fuck do you want?


Sorry, but a man of the people would be meeting with union workers or common folks; not playing ball with an NBA superstar in front of a camera crew with remote lavalier mics and cameras on jibs. I'm sure this has political significance aside from him just being a cool president playing ball as you suggest.

He mentions his wife's campaign called "Let's Move" that's aimed at solving childhood obesity. I believe that's what he's promoting. See? Easy to figure out. That's what I was asking. No need to get all defensive about it, poopsie. I'm sorry if some of us aren't politician fanatics not willing to ask questions and be critical.

Dude is a karaoke superstar!

It's a rock opera, more or less. Much like Tommy, Jesus Christ Superstar, or Hair. It's definitely -not- much like the traditional 50's musical...there's not all that much dancing.

I was introduced to the movie in an apparently unusual way. First, my friends hooked me on the soundtrack (it's still one of my favorite albums)...once I'd grown to love that, I finally managed to get around to seeing the movie.

I'd never have guessed that Susan Sarandon had such a nice voice.

Hey! it's Little Superstar!

Here's the original without the changed music

http://www.videosift.com/video/Little-Superstar

1) Here's one of the big distinctions between science and religion. The start of the big bang is still a big question mark. Physics as we understand it breaks down the closer we get to defining the first microseconds of the universe. We just don't know how it worked. Yet. And that's ok! There are people working their asses off trying to define how the big bang happened, and people on your side of the argument seem to want them to drop their pencils and give up! Just because we don't have it figured out yet doesn't mean it's supernatural! It used to be common knowledge that the movements of the sun, moon, and stars were all caused by gods as they went about their daily business, but we know better now. We've figured out why all that stuff happens. It didn't need gods with golden sky chariots, it needed Newton's discoveries so that we could understand. The same thing applies to the beginning of our universe. You keep insisting that since we can't define how the big bang happened that it must be supernatural, and your brand of supernatural as well. Your belief that your god fills the blank is completely unjustified. Why is it so hard for you to just accept that it is currently unknown?

2) It is patently absurd to suspect a conspiracy to wipe out all information about Jesus to be suppressed during his lifetime. Anyone who believed he was the fulfillment of Jewish prophecies would have become a follower, and anyone who didn't believe would have noticed him as an effective rabble-rouser. Jesus supposedly had thousands of people going to listen to him when he spoke, and greeted him at the gates of the city with palm fronds. He was a superstar of his time! And you have no problem thinking contemporary historians just overlooked him? Or worse, recognized him as the Christ, the son of the one true God, and instead of following him treated him like a threat to what they now know is their own false religion?

3) That was simply one glaring example of how translations differ and the effect that can have on interpretation.

4) I can't refute a nonsensical argument. Just because 12 people were stupid enough (supposedly, since we only have the bible as evidence) to believe strongly enough to die for something, doesn't make it true. Just look at the Heaven's Gate cult. 39 people dead for their crazy beliefs, that doesn't make it true.

5) It's very simple why people like me keep pushing our arguments. Theists keep trying to push theirs on us. The big one is Creationism in public schools. Others, like the anti-abortionists, contribute to the poisoning and dumbing-down of what was once a fairly honorable political party. But the worst part is the precedent that religion sets. It provides a warm blanket of lies, where all you have to do is believe what you are told, and you don't have to do any thinking for yourself. After all, there's not much difference between believing what your preacher tells you about the afterlife and what he tells you to believe about politics. Or about history. Or about foreigners. Their ignorance has an impact on my life, and it sickens me. Yes, I'm intolerant. Of ignorance. Specifically stubborn ignorance, like the kind that says it's ok to accept something without evidence as true, and to base your life on it. The kind that says it's ok to turn away from facts that disagree with what you already believe. The kind that says it's ok to waste this life in service to a lie, because the next life will be your reward. That shit is not ok, and I don't want to live in a world where people think it is. That's why I keep speaking up.
