Are Dietary Supplements for Atheism Loosing Vitamins?

epix · 5th January 2011, 07:26 PM

It is usual that with the arrival of the new year, predictions, prognosis, and trends hit the media. For those who fear oncoming disaster of biblical proportion, the source of the needed information is . . . well, the Bible. But that's not readily apparent in the text; it requires a special gift to compute the hidden date of the oncoming Apocalypse.

None of the predictions made in the past has come true though -- we are still here -- and so the predictions based on the Bible interpretation has been leaking gas. No wonder that folks start looking elsewhere for the source of the thrill with pseudoscience becoming the hit #1, as it was the case with phenomenally successful year 2012.

Quote:

José Argüelles (born January 24, 1939) is a Mexican-American author, artist, and educator. He is the founder of Planet Art Network and the Foundation for the Law of Time. He holds a Ph.D. in Art History and Aesthetics from the University of Chicago, and has taught at numerous colleges, including Princeton University and the San Francisco Art Institute.

Quote:

Argüelles states that his tools and calendar are not a Maya calendar but criticism focuses on the fact that his works remain completely unsupported by any professional Mayanist scholar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Arg%C3%BCelles

Of course, Jose Arguelles, Ph.D., didn't blow up the bubble -- he just brought the chewing gum.

Then there was the media-nurtured Large Hadron Collider hoopla with all the black-holes-devouring-the-earth thrill. That was another non-religious outlook realistic enough to take it all the way to the court.

Too bad that the Church never endorses those disaster predictions made by some down and out individuals who beg for attention -- those prediction based on the Bible. An official end of the world is exactly what would save active atheism from malnutrition.

Say what?

slingblade · 5th January 2011, 07:33 PM

"LOSING," dammit. Not "loosing."

The rest of that mess...not worth bothering with.

One more time, with feeling:

If there is a god, and he's an omni-being (omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent), he's got no damned business judging me. He made this mess. It's his fault. Let him judge himself, and send himself to the hell he created for us, his "children."

Sledge · 5th January 2011, 07:35 PM

Only on Thursdays during a month ending in "Y." Otherwise I'll take two off the top and the rest off the bottom. Do you have any more exploding carrots?

Skeptic Ginger · 5th January 2011, 08:11 PM

Makes as much sense as the OP, Sledge.

And now the News for Carrots.
"There was a major explosion at JREFF Headquarters today. No carrots were injured."

Yeah. And I can spell simple words. It's something to which one ought to aspire.

OK, this is just abuse of sarcasm.

I'm going to take a stab that Epix is trying to imply that since atheists aren't looking forward to a biblical doomsday, we may be prone to dwelling on nontheistic apocalypses.

I am by no means certain that's it, though.

sadhatter · 6th January 2011, 10:50 AM

I love how people think they are causing confusion. Anyone reading the op is doing no more than rolling their eyes at the lack of content and making a joke or 2 at the op's expense.

Translation: Media likes end of the world predictions. Most of those predictions come from creative interpretations of the bible.

Of course, Jose Arguelles, Ph.D., didn't blow up the bubble -- he just brought the chewing gum.

Translation: None of the predictions came true (Well, DUH!). Since most of those predictions came from the Bible, certain minds that usually turn to "End of the world" predictions chose to find other sources. They chose Mayan end of the world 2012 prophecy. It wasn't prophecy for other scientists, only for Jose Arguelles, that interpreted Mayan calendar certain way.

Quote:

Then there was the media-nurtured Large Hadron Collider hoopla with all the black-holes-devouring-the-earth thrill. That was another non-religious outlook realistic enough to take it all the way to the court.

Translation: Some wacko's thought LHC would destroy the world. One of those wacko's in Russia sued scientists for interfering with her chackra or something. Science is non-religious outlook, therefore testable in court.

Quote:

Too bad that the Church never endorses those disaster predictions made by some down and out individuals who beg for attention -- those prediction based on the Bible. An official end of the world is exactly what would save active atheism from malnutrition.

Translation: Church got smart after 1000th year after Christ, and doesn't endorse end of the world predictions any more. For some reason, epix thinks that church endorsing end of the world predictions is the same as vitamins for active atheism(?). Probably thinks that atheists wouldn't have anything to attack otherwise. He is wrong.

Most people are rash. Concerning that issue: When a hater speaks of love, he means not a quality but an effect. Yes. Haters and lovers.

Well, I think that if jose Arguelles didn't blow up the bubble, then Kurt Godel is an idiotic ignoramous, so there! Concerning that issue: Craziness is goodness speeded up and craziness slowed down. Is that true? I guess I'm really not sure. But then, as Nietzsche said, convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

I think that's mostly right.

Or: "Yeah, my team's got some real nutbars out there, predicting Raptures and End of the World nonsense. But your team's vaunted science doesn't immunize you from your own apocalyptic nutbars."

Which ends with either the usual veiled threat: "But someday god IS going to come back, and boy, will you be sorry then!"

Or else: "If my team did officially state the end of the world is nigh, then you guys really would have some reason to think you're so superior."

...maybe.
