It's true, for me. Although I was raised in a cult and my parents wanted me to be, it was forced on me and not my initial state of mind (nobody can be Christian from birth, it's not natural but acquired). I still am mostly Christian by tradition because I was raised as one, but in a cult that's quite different than the Catholicism of my extended family. I'm not officialy in any religion, as I've not been baptised or confirmed. I studied the great religions, some of the Biblical theology and have practiced a few modern and custom forms of magic. I think that today I'm mostly an atheist... And with the stupidity I see and hear, I am unlikely to fall back. If I had not been raised in the Jehovah's Witnesses, but as a Catholic, like the rest of my family, perhaps that I'd still be a moderate Catholic today. Excesses, hypocrisy and seeing others being treated unethically raised doubts. I was a curious person needing to understand things beyond the stupid ready made answers that were provided by religion. Today I understand that it's human tradition.

Time to take your meds and go to bed grandpa Root...

But the ableist joke aside, the NY Post is a crappy source too. An even greater problem is Root picking a random death to hastily jump to his old anti-science disinformation. Every event is an opportunistic excuse for repeating the lies. Irrelevancy is not "being afraid to ask" anything. Trying to dig what's not there is not practical or fruitful. Except to repeat old lies with concern trolling.

Pseudoreligious UFO cult doctrine of grandiose conspiracy theories and falsehoods, trying to claim that it's something else. By rejecting reality and non-UFO-claimants claiming that it's a religious indoctrination plot. Projection.

So are you claiming to be the "only true God channel" yourself? I used UFO-claimant because you're putting your own words into the mouths of your imaginary critters...

Speaking about yourself at the third person? The statement sounds like fundamentalist inerrancy, something impossible. The slogan is by someone notorious for aggrandizement, misrepresentation and lies. And in this case someone who has a conflict of interest, is non-independent of the topic. The argument is circular. And it's posted on Asocial Lies.

You apparently are ignorant of the fact that philosophers have long existed before Jesus?

And classical fundie literature selection and quote mining, for a "heretic" sermon. And psychological projection, because religious binding is not freedom.

Boskov01 #conspiracy #crackpot #wingnut

Psychological projection and false conspiracy theory. Because you want to promote injustice, you must claim that all sources of justice are a type of religious cabal of some sort. The reality is that injustice is something that can be felt and that empathy is the ability to understand that. And that you want to normalize injustice and possibly crimes against humanity, with constant propaganda to that effect. Just like abusive elites like to justify it: "bloodlines", "natural law", "by right", "holy ...", [...]

And it's not for no reason that you're trolling in attempt to radicalize people, on an artwork website.

In times of conflict, such wishthinking that cannot actually manifest the supernatural can be deadly. Like quackery may prevent proper treatment, magic "protections" to stop bullets have failed to provide proper armor. Sometimes magicians went as far as cannibalism hoping for their magic to work, but it ultimately didn't. This also reminds me of other beliefs like remote viewing, that has been taken seriously by some. Of course, outside of conspiracy theorist stories, while technological remote sensing exists, remote viewing remains delusory. If all of that really worked, you'd not need iron chariots, planes, anti-air, etc. Another dark side of superstition is frivolous accusations and the resulting savagery, like witch hunts. And when someone you know is sick, it's not because of a magic man among you or the enemy...

Genital mutilation panic is not "writing anything truthful", it's blood libel against human rights, the advocacy to suppress a minority that you are dehumanizing with misrepresentation and conspiracy theories. Letting people live is not being persecuted. Getting denounced for hate speech and persecution advocacy is not being persecuted. There is no "transmafia" cabal. I'm not transgender and understand that.

Well said, and for most men to be mini bosses (when they're home only) and to make a living begging their exploitative boss, or dying in war, to be able to feed their kids. Remembering that it's the same people who are against worker's unions, universal healthcare, working women, and sometimes even against high education...

should stand to reason

Doctrine recitation is not really reasoning, you know. It includes assertions that are questionable. This sounds like "it is wise for a true Christian to [...]". It's preaching. Also, a family doesn't need to mean women subjugation and the suppression of transpeople or gay people. A society is also more complex than ideology.

A detail, but I think that you meant expression more than communication.

STOP THE PROPAGANDA

This IS climate change denial propaganda, misconstruing knowledge as propaganda. Plants don't lack CO2 and didn't in 1958 with half of the carbon dioxide we have today. There's much less forest too, despite the increase of CO2, because it's due to human deforestation. And we've seen the clear correlates between global warming and emission levels. Not only CO2 of course, but other gas like methane with a much higher greenhouse effect and that is increasingly being released as well, because of the heating. Disinformation include nonsense about solar cycles and ice ages, but climatologists already take those in consideration.

I believe that Q is in-fact imploring a type of Grey Magick and casting it’s spells upon its followers along with the implementation & utilization of certain aspects of “Chaos Magick”. That’s how Kek came to be).

Q is evil but not for the reasons you're concerned about (and it's human evil). But since there are all kinds of versions of QAnon designed to attempt to radicalize and recruit extremists with widespread forum shopping and astroturfing, it's not surprising to also see some resulting implosion. There are all kinds of reasons to reject it as: a dishonest rehash of old paranoid anti-government conspiracy theories for neo-fascism, or for fundamentalists of all types: heretic, esotericism, the Great Whore of Babylon...

Recently I learned about "Tijuana Bibles". It's interesting that the name was to blame Mexico for smuggling those cheap erotic mini-comics in the US, even if the authors and distributors were really Americans... Since at the epoch there were crackdowns against such literature, it reminds me of the current excuses to blame Mexico for many problems in the US.

truuthhertz #fundie #psycho

It sounds like a child repeating what they've been told to say. In the cult I was raised in I also had to preach. And I was told that the Great Tribulation and the end were about to happen, anyday. That I shouldn't study beyond high school because there's no time. That I might only be saved through work (propaganda for the organization). That the organization somehow was the only actual divine channel on Earth. That I should hate the world and not make friends at school.

We don't call such high control groups for nothing. I'm also doing much better for having left it behind as a teen. And today I know that what they taught me were mostly lies and mental disease conditioning and that their business runs on exploitation.

For all those reasons, it seems incredible to me when I witness that it's the same ideology and manipulation used by all kinds of authoritarian regimes and that so many people appear to fall for their traps.

Edit/Adding:
But I understand that some people never knew anything else and that others feel powerless in an already established totalitarian regime persecuting dissidents, of course...

Ray Comfort #conspiracy #fundie

Irreducible Complexity is indeed a pseudoscientific creationist Chicken and Egg argument. In a long gradually evolved and complex enough system, an organism can obviously be harmed by attacking its system. Organ failure for instance, can kill the whole organism. It doesn't mean that they have not evolved, often together over millions of years. Evolution is also not about individual organs or organisms, it's populations that slowly evolve. Just like evolution was never the equivalent of another creationist straw man of mixing random things together in a bag, hoping that it suddenly becomes complex. Replicating life and descent with modification doesn't mean the destruction of species and restarting anew, and if it did there'd be no extant complex life. Just like a certain order can be seen in developing embryos. You cannot deny that it only begins with a few cells, or claim that it's random shaking that aggregates them... And there's plenty of evidence of some organs having formed more than once, sometimes in different ways. Like the eye, and oxygen transport systems...

Haha, projection.

Yet another of your own lies. He actually stayed out of it and you're not facing justice for no reason.

Who's the actual threat? Evidence of your own propaganda, calling democracy everything that it's not and swearing to continue to attack it: https://fstdt.com/GDBWQJ2BK5TYD And it was already obvious when you started with the Big Lie.

Wayne Allyn Root #conspiracy #wingnut

Democrats are not the ones closing public libraries and attacking education. Biden is not the one who promises to crack down on knowledge and information. As you are surely aware, Trump also aims to use government agencies against his "Deep State" straw man. It's the equivalent of invasion war disinformation: "they are attacking us, so let's attack them." It's not Biden who attacks artists either.

"Birds exist therefore God" is not particularly convincing, neither is "this false authority claims that creation was finished" nor "this verse of a particular book added in the canon makes the circular claim that all writings are inspired"...

It's the denial of incredible things, including:
- The canon was selected by human committees
- The books were selected, compiled and written by humans
- Ancient human elites hired scribes, a literate elite, to write down their propaganda
- Posits that human traditions did not form like we observe them forming, (texts magically appeared in their final form)
- The incredible evidence of such traditions forming and what they left behind
- That in other traditions there are other deities, that may also be adaptations of older ones, there were older ones than the Abrahamic god
- The circumstances of your own birth determines the traditions you were exposed to
- Archaeology, ...
- DNA and genetics, embryology, comparative physiology/anatomy, biochemistry, biogeography, adaptive radiations, natural and sexual selection, speciation, behavioral evidence, ...
- Geology, dating methods (and not only C14), paleontology, the fossil record, ...

It was not immediately clear when the executions were due to be carried out. The sentences are open to appeal.

Just like it's probably not immediately clear why those people have been charged, if they really are homosexuals or not, and if so, why they are a threat worthy of death. The answer is simple: ignorance, superstition, hate and savagery.

Although as those with certain kinds of elevated knowledge realize in terms of human physiology being transformed in its very chemical make-up as well as what can be expressed as physically, mentally, and emotionally and as each cell, atom, and subatomic particle responds to the changes, the positively-charging protons coming into the planetary realm are often quite challenging because humanity is very sensitive as the transformative process is being experienced.

You're making claims that could be verified up to some point. You really need to provide evidence for those alleged physically detectable changes and post them in reputable peer reviewed biology and physics journals.

of this is because of Pluto being in Aquarius, and Aquarius is governed by highly electrically-charged Uranus.

Ooops, it was only astrology with pseudoscience. Oh well, case dismissed.

Perhaps in millions of years, the horse will have five legs, another mouth, a bigger curve (people are getting bigger), and three ears. Perhaps it won’t. Same with the dog. Two barks? Three tails?

I see who has the small brain but large imagination there...

estimated 50 billion birds inhabit the earth, with around 9,700 different bird species. Of these 50 billion, approximately 1.6 billion are common house sparrows

And that is best explained by diversification, evolution...

But more interestingly, why do you have to obsess about evolution everyday? You know that many theologians simply recognize that the origin myths compiled in Genesis were symbolic? It would solve your cognitive dissonance issues. Although for some people, misleading is a business model too...

Have you read those lists of contradictions in Genesis, and how the order of events is impossible, incompatible with not only what has been discovered, but also illogical? I suppose not... We even know that there were many other old origin myths and that ancient humans recited, adapted and wrote them, without evidence of divine intervention. We can understand how human traditions develop and spread. Even YEC...

And everyone who attends university is obliged to worship Darwin on the 12th, lest they be cancelled.

Actually, I never knew that some cared about Darwin's birth. Knowledge is also not Darwin worship. Projection and false equivalence fallacies. We know much more today about biology and evolution than Darwin ever did.

But yes, literalist creationism is anti-science. And make sure to never use Apple OSX machines, because they run Darwin BSD inside. You may want to request for it to be renamed to Banana BSD. Oh! But a traditional BSD mascot is a little demon, inspired by DAEMON... You're screwed.

Since you're stuck pre-Darwin, you may as well use the tools he used, like sketchpads anyway. Who needs computers? The Bible doesn't mention them. Even neckties are missing...

So your "Darwin Day" is actually a straw man for your suggestion to celebrate an "ignorance is bliss" day?

Misrepresentation of affirmation to promote a false LGBTQ grooming conspiracy theory. In this strange anti-government extremist version, the government somehow forces that. Presumably because this "parent", if it is one, is limited in their power to abuse by laws to that effect (these may also be straw men). And to promote the repression of people this person, thug or troll, hates. Of course, this then whines of "parental rights", an argument popularized to deny some general human rights that children are also expected to have.

The "parental right" to abuse children is as misleading as the "religious right" to abuse "heretics". Both are arguments to justify illicit abuses. And paradoxically, to those making these arguments, embryos should be people, but pregnant women and children shouldn't.
