Yes, some brains rot faster than others, but religion is like aerating the compost and adding lime, it accelerates the rot of all minds exponentially.

Ok...you're going to have to provide more details when you say some astrophysics resembles Hindu theology. I studied Hinduism and astrophysics and see no correlation.

Some religious practices, like meditation, are supported by psychology as beneficial, but absolutely not for the reasons the religions claim, and most aren't supported by science by any stretch of the imagination.

Not a single supernatural claim from any religion is supported by any real science, maybe by pseudoscience, but that's not science, it's snake oil salesmanship.

Give specific examples of poets that perfectly described specific areas of psychology without any evidence to extrapolate from please, that's a wild claim to make without evidence. Please don't say Nostradamus.

What "source" are you referencing, you listed none I can see.

That which can be claimed without evidence can be discarded without evidence.

That probably wasn't the professors real Inbox either. I've never met one that can possibly keep their Inbox that clean!

on another note- humanity is doomed. "kids these days" can only use SMS-speak. Mike Judge is the new Nostradamus because Idiocracy is coming! (sooner than 500 years though)

that lean in lean out feature will take the world by storm
- Nostradamus

Arafat was Satan according to an explanation I saw of Nostradamus prophecies in the 1980's. But he is dead, so it is confusing for Obama to order us to serve him. In any case, the confusion will be short lived because, as you know, the end is near.

Jesus did it. its the burning bush of 2012. As foretold by Nostradamus.

Tone of voice on the internet is provided by the reader. If you hear an hysterical voice in your head when you read my words, rather than a rational one, then I urge you to go back and re-read what I write.

I didn't supply any tone of voice, I just saw something which I thought was wrong and I tried to correct.

I find it interesting that I have been accused of many things that I haven't actually said, but that doesn't strike you as unfair. I'm the one at fault. Still. Interesting. Hmmmm..... whatever could that mean?

I haven't accused you of saying anything nor commented on the fairness of anything levied at you. If you're referring to the end of my original comment, I thought it was pretty clear that was a prediction. I was mocking you for being "pleased with" yourself that you predicted that yogi went "all batshit stupid crazy". Any given yogi comment has like an 80% chance of being "batshit stupid crazy", Nostradamus.

Have I lost my shit in the past? Sure. Who hasn't around here? As that survey proved, this is a predominantly male environment and it took me awhile to understand that. That if I "lose my shit" it is a woman going all hysterical. So I have learned not to lose my shit anymore. But I am still accused of doing so.

So are you saying that men are incapable of treating women appropriately or that women are too dainty to hold their own in a male-majority environment? For someone who is so offended by sexism, you sure don't seem to mind dishing it out.

As you say, I "earned" this reputation -- fairly in some cases, unfairly in others. All I can do is move forward and continue to be rational in the moment. I can't change past perceptions.

You can't change the past but you can change perceptions, just don't expect to do it overnight and don't expect to do it by acting the same way that earned you that reputation. Plenty of us have had our reputations go to hell and back here. I look back at some of my comments from 4-5 years ago and can't believe some of the shit I said. I like to think I have a reasonably good reputation around here these days.

Deny it all you want, but Nostradamus predicted that Hitler's alien army would find the Jesus stone and harken a return to traditional family values. It's a fact.

I have fuck all knowledge of international politics, or really how the world works at large, so I think I must take a leaf from the Nostradamus style guide for predicting the future:

(You'll just have to imagine that each of these is written in a different language, where each could be translated in of a number of ways)

1. The eagle will hunt the rabbit, but the rabbit will fight back.
2. Lo the earthbound will take to the skies, and the skies will rip asunder. (Or ass under if you prefer)
3. Mighty is the beast who tramples the weak, but mightier is the meek who defend the poor.
4. A vast sea of fear will be watered with the liquid of hope
5. Children scream unto the night while unbridled tortoises ride waves of flowering gypsies.
6. Apple will release something, and shitloads of people will buy it.

What was going on at the end there?

I bet they make an Avengers movie.


The Avengers movie was announced in 2005, Nostradamus. It's due next May.

The Book of 2 Timothy was written in approximately A.D. 67 which is interesting that for something written so long ago appear so timely today.
I guess that if Nostradamus wrote it more would probably give it more credit.


What's interesting is that people don't realize or don't admit to themselves that they were always like this. Even in Rome. If you love history so much then I'm surprised you would fool yourself into thinking that there was some better time in the past when people were more moral. It just so happens that the people who are allowed to write everyone's history tend to think very highly of themselves. But more and more, as technology allows individuals access to the ability to write their own history and have it preserved, then we learn what truly goes on in the world and are forced to reconcile.

Way more people still give credence to the Bible than to the writings of Nostrodamus, but the two groups have one very strong common thread: the obsession with "end times".

Did you skip your history class?

Dark Ages referred to the period of time ushered in by the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

The decline of the Roman Empire refers to the societal collapse encompassing both the gradual disintegration of the political, economic, military, and other social institutions of Rome.

To be sure Christians have done their good part in making a mockery out of religion. This doesn't make the Bible wrong. Just piss poor examples that do more harm than good.

The irony of this is that our 21st Century world is no less dark. It is an individual darkness, which multiplies and grows as those who reject Gods walk. Our age is characterized by every intellectual and technological advance but our morals have turned backwards.

From 2 Timothy 3
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

The Book of 2 Timothy was written in approximately A.D. 67 which is interesting that for something written so long ago appear so timely today.

I guess that if Nostradamus wrote it more would probably give it more credit.

Didn't we have a christian dictatorship on this planet already? What was it called...? Ah yes, the fucking DARK AGE!

This serves as proof positive of the previous proposition.
