faith is not incredulity

faith is not wishful thinking

the opposite of faith is not rationalism, but superstition

an atheist does not doubt the existence of God he dismisses it

faith pertains to those truths that are above our senses but not contrary to them

hippies on the revisionist history channel reveal solution to the mademadeglobalwarming religion: Nitrogen Dioxide

Release sufficiently large quantities of Nitrogen Dioxide and effect a global cooling.  But since this is a false religion this action would be doubly unwise.   Perhaps the hippies could just inhale another of their preferred substances…  legalizing drugs would solve so many problems.

one is NOT entitled to free medical services — slavery is bad

Filed under: BULLSHIT, Healthy, Liberty, Righteous Rage, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, Wisdom — Sagacious Himself @ 8:10 am

“Should everyone have free health care?”

Certainly not! Medical service, like having a maid service or owning a car, is a PRIVILEGE and NOT a right. One, however, is individually obligated to care for one’s own health. But one cannot enslave others performing this service nor can one expect others to perform this service without compensating them.

Socialist health care is akin to promoting slavery.

One Laptop per Child the most ridiculous liberalist project?

Filed under: Humor, Liberalists, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, Wisdom — Sagacious Himself @ 12:53 am

Educating children is admirable.. however what good is a laptop to children who cannot read?

Once they’re taught to read do they really need a laptop?  What’s wrong with using books?

Aside from that pesky reading issue OLPC has a seriously flawed premise:

 Children need to learn learning

Yes, that’s an actual quote from their wiki.  The ability to learn is innate, as is the ability to discern truth.  If learning were not innate it certainly could never be learned

Without the ability to learn how does one learn to learn?

rediculous!

Why not to shop at walmart this Christmas season … or any time … until Walmart re-adopts its founder’s Christian values

Filed under: Healthy, Justice, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, Wisdom, moralphobes, moralphobia, queer (aka moralphoba) — Sagacious Himself @ 6:05 pm

Would Jesus Shop at Wal-Mart?

Jesus might ’shop’ at walmart because he ate with sinners, reprobates, and the like.  Jesus loves all including those with honosexual tendancies.  Remember he forgave the whore telling her to go AND sin no more… not hey your cool have a nice day.  Activities not chaste (or otherwise not virtuous) are not to be tolerated… the person is in need of conversion, repentance, forgivness, absolution, and amended behavior.

The question is: should YOU shop at Walmart today?  especially given their new position of donating 5% of proceeds to pro-homosexual-activity (anti-Christian) advocacy groups…  obviously the answer is certainly not!  Just as YOU shouldn’t buy Ben n Jerry ice cream as a large slice of their proceeds are donated to pro-natal-child-slaughter-houses (abotion).

Homosexual activites are sinful (evil) and therefore must NOT be tolerated, nor should one tolerate, encourage, or enable others to do or support likewise.  The same is true for pro-wrong-choice groups (abotion).

the future of broadband TV is Flash module hacking

Filed under: AdNoyances, Download, Hackery, Hacking, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, Wisdom — Sagacious Himself @ 10:53 pm

The reason I “pirate” TV episodes is because I’m too lazy to build a PVR.  I was just enough UNlazy to hackup my xbox to boot Xbox Media Center, and use it to pull episodes from another computer.  And yes I prefer them commercial free.

So online, broadband TV? Its not full screen, I cannot watch it on my big screen TV.. and uck there are non-integrated commercials.  The solution isn’t yet stream adblocking… instead its the fun of flash module hacking.

Most people will suffer ads… but I will not be among them

depression hurts? not as badly as broken heart syndrome

Broken Heart Syndrome

http://www.webmd.com/content/article/11/1674_50320

The research linking anger to heart problems has a long history that
goes back to at least the 1960s, when California cardiologists Meyer
Friedman and Ray Rosenman first coined the term “type A” to describe
edgy, impatient people and showed that these people were more likely to
have heart attacks.

Depression Congestion

But anger isn’t the only kind of unhappiness that can harm the
heart. Researchers in Norway discovered that patients with congestive
heart failure who also suffered from severe depression were four times
more likely to die within two years of treatment than patients who
weren’t depressed.

The study, published in the International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine
last November, included 119 patients suffering from congestive heart
failure. Of the 20 patients who died from cardiac disease during the
two-year study, 25% were depressed, compared to the 11.3% who were not
depressed.

Opus Dei and corporal mortification

Filed under: Knowledge, Liberty, Sagacious, Sagacious Himself, Wisdom — Sagacious Himself @ 10:08 pm

The Da Vinci Code makes it appear that Opus Dei members practice
bloody mortifications. In fact, though history indicates that some
Catholic saints have done so, Opus Dei members do not do this.

The Catholic Church advises people to practice mortification. The
mystery of Jesus Christ’s Passion shows that voluntary sacrifice
has a transcendent value and can bring spiritual benefits to others.
Voluntary sacrifice also brings personal spiritual benefits, enabling
one to resist the inclination to sin. For these reasons, the Church
prescribes fasting on certain days and recommends that the faithful
practice other sorts of mortification as well. Mortification is by no
means the centerpiece of the Christian life, but nobody can grow closer
to God without it: “There is no holiness without renunciation and
spiritual battle” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2015).

In the area of mortification, Opus Dei emphasizes small sacrifices
rather than extraordinary ones, in keeping with its spirit of
integrating faith with secular life. For example, Opus Dei members try
to make small sacrifices such as persevering at their work when tired,
occasionally passing up some small pleasure, or giving help to those in
need.

Some Opus Dei members also make limited use of the cilice and
discipline, types of mortification that have always had a place in the
Catholic tradition because of their symbolic reference to
Christ’s Passion. Many well-known figures in Catholic history
have used the cilice or discipline, such as St. Francis, St.
Thomas More, St. Padre Pio and Blessed Mother
Teresa.  The Church teaches that people should take
reasonable care of their physical health, and anyone with experience in
this matter knows that these practices do not injure one’s health
in any way. The Da Vinci Code’s
description of the cilice and discipline is greatly exaggerated and
distorted: it is simply not possible to injure oneself with them
as the book and film depict. 

Additional explanation from leading Catholic sources regarding Opus Dei and corporal mortification.
