Flagella Myths

by Mark Perakh

In 1996 a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University named Michael Behe published Darwin’s Black Box1, in which he presented his concept of “irreducible complexity” (IC). Behe and his Intelligent Design (ID) colleagues claim that IC is strong evidence of “design” of biological systems, and ever since his book IC has acquired the status of one of the main pillars of the Intelligent Design platform.

The secular religion of “the Holocaust™” is a second-rate product of the consumer society [FAURISSON]

Once again, I would like to thank Fred Scrooby for translating (French version here) Dr. Faurisson’s most recent communication on the instrumentalization of the Holocaust™. The Jews have always had a knack for story-telling and for inventing self-serving myths and religions. One must stand in awe at their capacity for deception and self-deception.

Thank you, Fred!

The secular religion of “the Holocaust” is a second-rate product of the consumer society.

The “Holocaust” religion is secular: it is part of the lay world; it is profane; in practice it makes use of the secular arm, that is, of a temporal authority wielding formidable power. It has its dogma, its commandments, its decrees, its prophets, and its high priests, as well as (as one revisionist noted) its collection of saints, including, for example, St. Anne (Frank), St. Simon (Wiesenthal), and St. Elie (Wiesel). It has its holy sites, its rituals, and its pilgrimages. It has its sacred (macabre) buildings and its relics (in the form of bars of soap, shoes, toothbrushes, …). It has its martyrs, its heroes, its miracles and those upon whom its miracles have worked (in their millions), its Golden Legend, and its righteous. Auschwitz is its Golgotha. According to it, God is called Yahweh, protector of his Chosen People, who (as explained in Psalm 120 — invoked recently by public prosecutor Anne de Fontette during a legal action brought against a French revisionist) punishes “lying lips” (punishes, bear in mind, with “sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper”). In this religion Satan is called Hitler, condemned, like Jesus in the Talmud, to boil in excrement for eternity. This religion knows neither pity, nor forgiveness, nor mercy, only the obligation of vengeance. It amasses fortunes through blackmail and extortion, and obtains unheard-of privileges. It dictates its law to nations. Its beating heart is in Jerusalem at the Yad Vashem monument, in a country torn from the inhabitants; in the shelter of a great wall eight yards high dedicated to the protection of a people who are the salt of the earth, the “Holocaust” faithful impose on the goy a law which is the purest expression of militarism, racism, and colonialism.

Religion is for dummies: groups to pray for lower prices at gas stations

whores.jpg

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Two prayer services will be held at St. Louis gas stations to thank God for lower fuel prices and to ask that they continue to drop. Darrell Alexander, Midwest co-chair of the Pray at the Pump movement, says prayer gatherings will be held Monday afternoon and evening at a Mobil station west of downtown St. Louis.

Police: Man shot churchgoers over liberal views

It is interesting that the report references “liberal views” and saying “hateful things” without going into specifics. Perhaps the specific views and specific things are things the media don’t want us to know. I’m guessing that maybe he blamed the church for his inability to find work because they were harbouring illegal immigrants. That’s just speculation on my part, but if the journalists would do their job such speculation would be unnecessary.

Religion makes people stupid, very stupid

There are days when it is agony to read the news, because people are so goddamned stupid. Petty and stupid. Hateful and stupid. Just plain stupid. And nothing makes them stupider than religion.

Here’s a story that will destroy your hopes for a reasonable humanity.

Webster Cook says he smuggled a Eucharist, a small bread wafer that to Catholics symbolic of the Body of Christ after a priest blesses it, out of mass, didn’t eat it as he was supposed to do, but instead walked with it.

Religion: the root of all evil

Over population is indeed the true cause of climate change.No two ways about it.But try telling that to the Pope in the Vatican who has been preaching” the breed till you drop” policy!Also there is a raft of other issues: Ego, Maternal and Paternal Instinct, Desire, etc…Many folk are just not prepared to give up their “God given” right to reproduce themselves.

Patterns in religious behavior

Author/s 1. Magnus Magnusson, University of Iceland, Republic of Iceland;

Abstract This paper primarily concerns a particular type of repeated temporal patterns in religious behavior and possible biological roots regarding their form and function are discussed. Repetion is here a focal term as structural similarity and symmetry both presuppose repetition. This is in good accordance with the following words of F. Crick, (who with Watson discovered of the structure of DNA): “Another key feature of biology is the existence of many identical examples of complex structures.” (1989, p. 138.) Behavior is clearly a case in point while its patterning is often hidden from the naked eye or ear: “Behavior consists of patterns in time. Investigations of behavior deal with sequences that, in contrast to bodily characteristics, are not always visible”, the opening words of Eibl-Eibesfeldt’ s “Ethology: the Biology of Behavior”(1970) . Not denying, of course, the spatial aspect of behavioral patterning. The work behind this paper has primarily focused on the structure of both visible and hidden behavioral patterns and their detection. It has lead to the definition of a general mathematical pattern type, called a t-pattern, (and corresponding detection algorithms) apparently highly characteristic of human and animal behavior and interactions. The definition relies on repetition and focuses simultaneously on the order of pattern components and a particular relationship between the real-time distributions of the components when they occur independently of such patterns (Magnusson, 2000). Search for this kind of patterns has lead to the detection of a multitude of otherwise hidden patterns in neuronal, animal, and human interactions (Anolli et al, 2005; Magnusson, 2004, 2006). Unexpectedly, recent application of the same pattern detection algorithm to DNA analysis has brought attention to spatial patterns of the same type in DNA molecules, notably, patterns corresponding to genes. Repeated rituals characteristic of religious behavior appear to be clear examples of this kind of pattern. Apparently, functional symmetries also exist between such patterns in DNA and in human social and religious behavior (Magnusson, 2005). The t-pattern type will be described and illustated with examples from both religious behavior and DNA. Anolli, L., S. Duncan Jr., M.S. Magnusson and G. Riva (Eds.) (2005).

Hindu man set on fire in East London ‘for dating Muslim girl’

Ingui article, Anglo-Saxon perspective

Ing or Ingui is a rather obscure name of a god in Anglo-Saxon Heathen tradition, but if as many believe he is one and the same as the Norse god Freyr, then Ingui’s social standing as a god amongst the Heathens could have been one of great veneration. Evidence that connects the Anglo-Saxon Ingui to the Norse Freyr is that another name for Freyr is Yngvi or Yngvi-Freyr, the Yngvi element is phonetically cognate with the Anglo-Saxon Ingui. So it’s possible that the Anglo-Saxon Yngvi-Freyr may have been called Ingui-Frea, Frea being the Anglo-Saxon cognate of Freyr.

Near Death Experiences & the Medical Literature

Miracle Max: See, there’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Now, mostly dead: he’s slightly alive. All dead, well, with all dead, there’s usually only one thing that you can do.
Inigo: What’s that?

Idiots believe in God(s), scientists say

People with higher IQs are less likely to believe in God, according to a new study.

Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, said many more members of the “intellectual elite” considered themselves atheists than the national average.

30 years ago God changed His mind about Niggers

I’m not a Nigger tonight, White whore!

[...Martin Luther King was having sex with three White women, one of whom he brutally beat while screaming the above mentioned quotes. Much of the public information on King's use of church money to hire prostitutes and his beating them came from King's close personal friend, Rev. Ralph Abernathy (pictured above), in his 1989 book, "And the walls came tumbling down."]

Why did He do that? What type of new evidence did He have at His disposal?
