Sam Harris on "Free Will"

SAM HARRIS IS THE AUTHOR of the New Work Times bestsellers, The Moral Landscape, The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation.



Sam Harris new book is short (96) pages, to the point, and will change the way we all view free will, as Oliver Sacks wrote: "Brilliant and witty - and never less than incisive - Free Will shows that Sam Harris can say more in 13,000 words than most people do in 100,000." UCSD neuroscientist V.S, Ramachandran notes: "In this elegant and provocative book, Sam Harris demonstrates - with great intellectual ferocity and panache - that free will is an inherently flawed and incoherent concept, even in subjective terms. If Sam Harris is right, the book will radically change the way we view ourselves as human beings"

The Most Astounding Fact (Neil deGrasse Tyson)

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?"



This is his answer.

Throw the Jew Down the Well

This song called Nomogozrobich Domovon which mean "In My Country There is Problem".



In my country there is problem,
And that problem is transport.
It take very very long,
Because Kazakhstan is big.

Throw transport down the well,
So my country can be free.
So my country can be free!
We must make travel easy,
Then we have a big party.

In my country there is problem,
And that problem is the jew.
They take everybody money,
They never give it back.

Throw the jew down the well,
So my country can be free.
So my country can be free!
You must grub him by his horns,
Then we have a big party.

If you see the jew coming,
You must be careful of his teeth.
You must grab him by his money,
And I tell you what to do.

Everybody!

Throw the jew down the well,
So my country can be free.
So my country can be free!
You must grub him by his horns,
Then we have a big party.

Throw the jew down the well,
So my country can be free.
So my country can be free!
You must grub him by his horns,
Then we have a big party.

An estimated 30,000 people attended the Reason Rally. It would be interesting to know how many people wanted to come to D.C. but were unable to."

The Great Debate: "Has Science Refuted Religion?"

CALTECH COSMOLOGIST AND PHYSICIST Sean Carroll teams up with Skeptic magazine publisher and science historian Michael Shermer in this epic debate with noted conservative author and King's College President Dinesh D'Souza and MIT physicist Ian Hutchinson as they go head-to-head over one of the most controversial issues of our age.

As science pushes deeper into territory once the province of religion, with questions such as Why there is something rather than nothing?
Where did the universe come from?
How did life arise?
What was the origin of morality?
and others, inevitable conflicts arise over the best approach to answer them.



Don't miss this great debate and come with your questions for the audience participation portion of the day!

NASA Crushes 2012 Mayan Apocalypse Claims

Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have put out a new video to address false claims about the "Mayan apocalypse," a non-event that some people believe will bring the world to an end on Dec. 21.



Addressing the belief that the calendar used by the ancient Mayan civilization comes to a sudden end in December 2012, and that this will coincide with a cataclysmic, world-ending event, Yeomans said: "Their calendar does not end on December 21, 2012; it's just the end of the cycle and the beginning of a new one. It's just like on December 31, our calendar comes to an end, but a new calendar begins on January 1."

He added that there is zero possibility of a NASA cover-up. "Can you imagine thousands of astronomers who observe the skies on a daily basis keeping the same secret from the public for several years?" Uhmmm yes i can Don.

Deceptive Marketing

In this episode of The Randi Show, Randi discusses deceptive marketing. It's used in both everyday products and pseudoscientific bunk, so how do we educate ourselves against it?

American Fascist

What if they got what they wanted? What if people who didn't think like them were exiled from America? That would include all the atheists. That would include most of the scientists. Once upon a time, the German leadership couldn't tolerate people like Einstein. I hate to sound cliche, but it seems as though these modern so-called religious far right "Conservatives" have learned nothing from history.



I think that it's probably lack of imagination that would cause someone to want everyone around them to be just like them. That would become a nightmare, no matter who you are.

Just imagine the kind of people it would take to want words like "tolerance" and "diversity" to become BAD words.

They're waging a war against anything that is not them, and they will use any means necessary to win this culture war, which includes lying and rewriting history. They don't want to "bring back" America. They want an America that never was.

This is a respons to Dennis Terry.

After complaints from some Muslim and Arab-American groups, the FBI has pulled more than 700 documents and 300 presentations that stereotyped Islam or were factually inaccurate, an FBI spokesman said. The federal agency also intends in coming weeks to roll out plans on how it will vet training materials.



Ayoub and members of six other religious or ethnic groups met with Mueller in Washington, D.C., to discuss their concerns.

But from those 42 you can get a total of 42 + 42 + 40 + 39...etc. time interval combinations, which comes to close to 1,000. Of course, from that you would not be able to extrapolate three consecutive time periods. My knowledge of maths/statistics isn't up to the task, but if anyone there can work it out, I'd love to hear the answer.

Muslim Attacks "Zombie Muhammad" Atheist

A Pennsylvania judge reportedly dismissed charges against a Muslim man accused of attacking an atheist dressed as "Zombie Muhammad" during a Halloween parade last year.

The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports that Cumberland County Magisterial District Judge Mark Martin said there wasn't enough evidence to convict Talaag Elbayomy of harrassment. Although there was grainy video of the incident, it was ruled inadmissible, leaving the case one man's word against another's, the judge said.



Elbayomy, 46, allegedly attacked Ernest Perce V, of the Parading Atheists of Central Pennsylvania, during the Oct. 11 parade in Mechanicsburg. Perce claimed Elbayomy tried to take his "Muhammad of Islam" sign and choked him, the newspaper reports.

Martin heard testimony from Elbayomy, Perce and Mechanicsburg Police Sgt. Brian Curtis, who took the complaint from Perce moments after the alleged attack. Martin said Curtis did not witness the incident.

The ruling has been characterized as "completely and unequivocally unacceptable" in a blog posting by the American Atheists.That group released what it said was audio of Martin lecturing Perce about religious tolerance.

"That a Muslim immigrant can assault a United States citizen in defense of his religious beliefs and walk away a free man, while the victim is chastised and insulted by a Muslim judge who then blamed the victim for the crime committed against him is a horrible abrogation," the posting reads. " ... I can promise you this, you have not heard the last of this issue. Not by a long shot."

"Allah is a Myth" billboard put up by Atheists

American Atheists, a national organization, will unveil the billboards Monday on Broadway in heavily Muslim Paterson, New Jersey and in a heavily Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood, immediately after the Williamsburg Bridge.



"You know it's a myth ... and you have a choice," the billboards say. The Patterson version is in English and Arabic, and the Brooklyn one in English and Hebrew. To the right of the text on the Arabic sign is the word for God, Allah. To the right of the text on the Hebrew sign is the word for God, Yahweh.

Dave Silverman, the president of American Atheists, said the signs are intended to reach atheists in the Muslim and Jewish enclaves who may feel isolated because they are surrounded by believers.

"Those communities are designed to keep atheists in the ranks," he says. "If there are atheists in those communities, we are reaching out to them. We are letting them know that we see them, we acknowledge them and they don't have to live that way if they don't want to."

The King of Kings' Speech [Bible slavery]

So, who would most likely be responsible for Leviticus 25:44-46, a Lord of Love, or a demonic Satan?

By their fruits shall ye know them: and think of how many thousands, or millions of lives have been utterly ruined by the fact that that passage exists in a piece of scripture that a whole bunch of people think has something to do with morality.



Slavery is just about the easiest human rights issue imaginable, and the bible gets it wrong. What an embarrassment. In fact, practically any human being who has ever been born and survived to the age of 8 or so could come up with a better and more ethical set of instructions on how to behave and run a society than the bible. It would not have ownership of PEOPLE as part of its core tenets.

Why did humanity have to wait thousands of years for the Emancipation Declaration? Couldn't Yahweh have delivered it himself? Couldn't Jesus? Peter? Paul? Nup - no one gave a shit about that sort of thing. Not when there were people keeping their foreskins, water to be walked on, and women speaking in churches!!

Read the bible
“‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
