Maru In Slow Motion

crillep says...

Most people don't notice, but if you look closely around 1:49 you will see that Maru is not a cat at all but some sort of alien in a cat suit. They have finally infiltrated are most vulnerable point. CUTE CAT VIDEOS!

Chinese Man Throws Bicycle at Thieves

I always wished I would do something like that if I witnessed a similar situation. But these things happen so fast and unexpectedly that I'm pretty sure I would still be picking my jaw up off the ground as they sped off.

Kudos to the dude in the video. (or however you spell it)

Schwarzenegger: "Sarah Palin Is In The Stone Age"

crillep says...

Curse me for saying this, but I agree with both Arnold and Palin (have mercy on my soul). Promoting development in green energy is great for the economy, the enviroment, and the day we run out of oil. But taxing the crap out of CO2 is not good for alot of countries, as it doesn't remove oil dependancy, only makes it more expensive. Add that to our current economic crisis and it's gonna hurt!

Climate Change - "Those" e-mails and science censorship

crillep says...

This guy makes some really great videos. I really think he does a good job being non-bias. Especially if you take the time to watch all his videos.

This e-mail thing is almost over, but I'm still wondering about the raw temperature data that Phil Jones allegedly deleted by accident. Isn't that the real blow to peer reviewed research?

Tales Of Mere Existence: God

crillep says...

Thanks for knowing star trek references. I changed my comment several times before I posted it, rendering Picard useless, but I couldn't bring myself to delete it.

I don't think this discussion is about the definition of fear but, I will try to clarify. If you do not pay your taxes, then you will most likely fear the IRS, or if you will, feel anxiety. Which is good, because this emotion tells you that you should've payed your taxes. Now if you are a man of faith, this same anxiety might help you to obey the rules of that particular faith.

You say that cannot be, because you cannot prove these rules to be moral/right/whatever (at least thats how I read it). My response is, that that is besides the point, whether or not you agree with it, you have the same motivation to follow those rules. Let's just assume that people aren't following religions that they fundamentally disagree with. I certainly wouldn't.

Moving on to your comment about right and wrong, you chose a good example when you mentioned murder. If your wife is murdered, and you want to strangle the SOB that did it, there are certainly a number of fears that could prevent you from doing so, including your faith. Take away these fears, and I don't think your response will be what is considered rational today. Again you can call it fear or anxiety or conscious intimidation, but there is a motivation there.

This is only one example, and certainly an atheist doesn't have to be a murderer in the above situation. Either way you are following a code of morals. So whether or not you are afraid of what you will become in your own eyes, or in Gods eyes, you still have a fear motivated response. Now obviously you can't say that your set of morals is better than some religion, because we agree there is no proving right and wrong. And hopefully this wall of text shows that fear can also be a good motivator for moral issues. NOT ALWAYS, BUT SOMETIMES.

I think that people are having so much fun pointing out the flaws in various religions, that they have forgotten some very basic facts. Like the fact that freedom of religion is something that we are incredibly lucky to have. And the fact that so many people have some form of belief system (80% of the world in some polls) shows that it's not just bogus. It's a dominating force in our world that matters to alot of people and they should be treated with the same respect as everyone else. Finally, what I would like to stress the most is that it is EASY to be a religious person who also believes in science, evolution, the works. One does not cancel out the other. I'm neither religious nor atheist, but I respect everybodies beliefs. When it comes to atheists I think there should be less focus on bickering with with various religions and more focus on getting religion out of the schools and out of the goverment, that's a cause I can support.

Finally I should mention that you didn't deserve the comment about me lecturing you earlier gwiz, but it pisses me off that dbarry3 gets a -6 rating for critizing the video, and you get +10 for saying that fear isn't a factor when it comes to gay marriage. Thankyou captain obvious.

Atheists Can't Think For Themselves!

>> ^BicycleRepairMan:
Uh, where in this video was this ever implied?, I must have been watching a different one, because in the one I saw, he actually made a point out of the fact that there are hundreds of different Christian denominations, and that many of them where clearly not as nuts as him.
>> ^crillep:
According to this video, all Christians are whackjob creationists.



He talked about Christianity as a single entity for the whole video, even refering to himself as "we Christians". He mentions that every other type of Christianity is fake, yes. But in doing that he only implies that every Christian is a fool for choosing their own particular faith over many others. I don't see how it can be understood any other way.

I'm neither religious nor an atheist, but I frequent the sift. And I must say this is just another pathetic rant from atheism. The way I was brought up, mocking someones faith in this manner is just as wrong as mocking their skin color. I think church and state should be seperated, and I admire the voices for that cause. But I also think that people should be allowed to believe whatever the hell they want without being ridiculed.

I don't see why you would reply to my comment since you obviously don't have anything more to say than your ignorant ranting. PM me if you would like a breakdown of your comment explaining why everything in it is wrong, I'm not going to waste the time if you refuse to listen. STUPID
