ATHEIST NEXUS MEMBERS RAISE CONCERNS; COURAGEOUS VOLKAY RESPONDS

Published by admin under Uncategorized.

A few days ago I received some criticism from some members over at the site Atheist Nexus. They do raise some points that should be addressed because they continue to come up. I would have addressed these comments over on AN, but alas and alack, I have been locked off of the site. My crimes? I have been accused of being a spammer, a person of low moral quality and finally, one who may contribute to genocide, of all things, because I embrace something known as free speech. And this was practically my first day there. Imagine what a week would have brought? Rikers? Caning?

Well, let’s look at a few things. First, some lady who runs one of the groups over there mentions that I refer to my fellow human beings with terms like imbeciles, morons, oh I don’t know, pieces of garbage perhaps. Oh my god, she caught me, she outed me. The lady then, and here is the really good part, she then goes on to mention a book she is reading, that says that people who refer to people like this are morally low, and/or substandard. Oh my goodness!

Now before I address that scientific observation, let’s look at another thing that has recently been sweeping the Internet. It seems somebody somewhere just did some kind of study that said that the left was more intelligent than the right. I remember another study like this that said that both atheists and the left were both more intelligent than the religious and the right. So now look at what we have. If you don’t agree with us, we progressive, left-leaning, truth-bearing atheists, you are not only mentally inferior, but you are now also morally inferior. The old double whammy. The daily double. You better agree with us, or we’ll call you foul names. How do we know this, well it’s right here in the book. Now, if I wanted to, just to ring up a few points, I could claim the atheist part showing my mental superiority. Will I do this? Hmm. No I don’t think so. Why?

(And here’s where the first part of this comes into play about the way I refer to people). Because nobody but a fucking, ass-licking, dumb-shit, motherfucking moronic piece of diseased sewage could and would believe such unmitigated garbage. That’s why. The fucking brain-dead left, never has anything to back up their specious, utopian, dead-on-arrival arguments except the kind of cheap rhetoric that one of their kind writes in his new book or publishes in his new study. Are you not aware that anybody that is even barely conscious can throw any set of facts into a blender, add a couple of eggs and then pour out anything that they want. There is no science here, no men in lab coats, no empiricism, just some fucking troll who gerrymanders, jury-rigs and then Jerry Lewises it into anything he wants it to say.

So these are their arguments. No facts, no science, no nothing. They concoct books and studies that prove they are right and everybody else is wrong. That is the weight of their arguments. And if you don’t agree with their juvenile philosophy of how the world Should Be (according to them) you’ll have vile names hurled at you.

Simply for clarification, I’m a sort of quasi-libertarian. I also don’t like the conservatives. I think Matt Stone (South Park) said it best, “I hate the conservatives, but I really hate the liberals.” You guys are all just opposite sides of the same coin. The right guided by its religious fantasies and the left guided by its quasi-religious social fantasies, and between the two (the right’s warfare state, and the left’s welfare state) you’ve managed to bankrupt the country. And both sides underpinned by nothing but comfort-giving (toward themselves) illusions. Dumb, fucking, imbecilic morons.

Now, the leader of this AN group went on to say that my embracing of free speech could be very bad, I think the dreaded H word was used, you know…hate, and by opposing political correctness I could be supporting genocide of this or that group of my wonderful fellow human mutants. So now, a few words about this nonsense. This is the second arrow in the left’s quiver. First we’ll say you’re dumb and/or morally bankrupt, if that doesn’t work, we’ll bring on the politically correct goon squad. And their only job will be to suppress free-speech so we can live in the world that “they” think we should be living in. Oh thank you.

Well, briefly, in 1859 John Stuart Mill in “On Liberty” wrote about the various nuances involved with freedom of speech. Mill opined that there was both a harm principle and an offense principle. Mill rightly stated that the only principle that should be applied was the harm principle, not the offense principle. Meaning that if harm was being advocated, suppression would be warranted. I would agree, but there are already laws on the books for these types of infractions. What has happened of course, is that nowadays anything and everything that may offend someone is thrown into the mix, resulting in a serious chilling of the notion of free speech. Here’s a little news flash for you elites that would instruct us in how to live. You are not qualified to tell us, well…anything. Is somebody offended by something? Tough. That’s the price one pays for living in a free society, which Mill, at least, understood. Again harm and offense. Harm legitimate, offense, not.

So, my good friend Mill and I think you are fucking numbskulls. By the way, in a list I saw, Mill’s IQ was rated at over 200, making him, in this estimate, one of the smartest people that has ever lived. To the best of my knowledge there is only one person alive today that actually exceeds Mill’s estimated number, but modesty prevents me from saying anything further.

GOD ON THE RUN; GOES INTO WITNESS PROTECTION

First, the Bigfoot disappeared. The family of the gentleman that perpetrated the hoax came forward after his death. No Bigfoot, just a big galumpy guy running around in an extra-large fuzzy suit. Who knew! A few years back, scientists took a vote and decided that poor, enfeebled little Pluto, who always had trouble taking care of itself in the school yard, was going to be victimized once again and demoted to the status of non-planet. Sort of like a non-person. It gets one to thinking. Don’t these things big things seem to always come in threes? Like celebrity deaths. First one, then two celebrities die (which is blessing all its own) and then the death watch goes up all across the nation waiting for the trifecta to be completed. Who will it be? Tune in to “EXTRA.”

As we wait for the third shoe to drop in the somewhat protracted Bigfoot, Pluto evisceration lineage, I’m offering one up now. Gee there are so many to choose from, believe me, it was one of the hardest choices I’ve ever had to make. Why don’t we pick the biggest one? Sure, some people believed in Bigfoot and most in Pluto, but what is the one that is the most universal, the most powerful, the most consequential, and conversely, the most patently false?

Now hear me out, just hear me out before you fire up the torches and sharpen the pitchforks. I was going to say werewolves, because really, there isn’t much evidence for their existence either, but you know what, it doesn’t pass the test of being consequential enough. Hmm, what could complete the trio? How about the gods? Not ours, but the other guys. We all know that his dumbass gods are false. Just made up fantasies and delusions about this and that. Rivers of this and virgins of that and, oh please, come on. And look at all the damage they do. The believers, believing in afterlife and rewards, they can and will do anything. And the Hindus and Buddhists with their reincarnation. Oh come on.

While I’m sporting this most modest of all proposals, just think of the ramifications. Think of the incalculable lives we would save. If we could eliminate the religious insanity, what person would drive a plane into a building, or blow themselves up in a pizza parlor? We could eliminate so much hatred, so much division, so much rage. Instead of dividing people into soldiers, we could turn them into citizens, human beings. They would have to give up their notions of reincarnation and the like, but think of the benefits. People actually living here and now, in this life. Think how much stronger they would be. Instead of simply existing until death and then mercifully whisked away from this veil of crocodile tears, they would be forced to actually seize the reins of their lives and make the best they could with them right here and now.

Revolutionary! Yes, yes I like this idea better than the werewolf. Besides there is so much more evidence for the existence of werewolves than for that of these imagined gods of the other guys. I mean come on, aren’t their gods just their own fantasy creations to help them weather the storms of a short, nasty and brutal life?

Oh but wait. Wait a sec. There’s another test, measuring stick, that needs to be brought into the mix here. Damn, I hate that. We’ve got to include diversity, fairness, equality, if we are to call ourselves truly fair, American. Gee…well, to that end we’re going to have to put our own god on the pyre along with the others. I mean, we can’t possibly ask them to abandon their phony gods unless we are ready to relegate our own god to the flames as well. Painful as it is, it is something that simply must be done. After all, they would immediately point out that our god is just as, well how does one put this prudently, phony as theirs.

There you have it. Bigfoot, darling little Pluto and god, all gods. If this is how the current spate of debunking plays out it would be a consummation devoutly to be wished, as humanity, for the first time in it’s history, would finally be on the path to some semblance of maturity.

Volkay’s first post raises concerns, sparks outcry

Published by admin under Politics.

I frequently see headlines like the above all over the Internet, so let me take a shot at it, I can’t think of any goal more laudable.

It is my contention that very few, if any people, (aka mobile wetware DNA), are even remotely sane. We have, from our very beginnings sought to ensconce ourselves as far away from reality as possible. So, from these cloistered chambers we began prestidigitating all of the various illusions that keep us like tiny  babies wha…wha-ing for our bottles. Wha…..oh fucking wha…………..

Let me ask you a question Mr. witty and urbane Starbuck’s cup-sucker, have you ever had one original idea in your whole freakin’ tragedy of a life? One. Only one. No I’m serious. Isn’t  every idea we have about every subject,  simply the words and thoughts of others programmed into our wetware circuitry?

Whether it’s politics, religion, sex, relationships, morality, proper petunia plantage.  Have you ever had one original thought about any-thing?

Seriously. Didn’t your parents, the school system, the priests, these fucking politicians on both sides, your good buddies, your relatives, the newspapers, the TV,  the radio, all–like armor-plated conquistadors, astride their muscular stallions, await us outside our cribs, snorting, whinnying, looking for any sign of mental movement within us?

Many years ago, I escaped into the desert, and there, in some lost sand canyon, I began erecting the scaffolding of one wee little idea. It sang to me like a cartoon bird, “woo-doo-do-do, woo-doo-do-do.”

As I turned, the last thing I remember, was the glistening of the iron hooves.

Do you really have any opinions, or do you just spout the pre-approved and low-fat pogroms of either the right or left, whichever side you happened to be lucky enough to have been brainwashed by. There is very little real thinking of any kind,  just the calling up of the embedded crap that was stapled to your synapses.

Or, another example. Let’s look at politics for a second.  In this great and blessed republic we had a gent by the name of Jefferson who gave us our working model that we actually founded our supposed democracy on. So let me make a couple of minor points, okay?

Big boy Jefferson stepped up to the plate and opined: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” Really? Is that even remotely true? Well, the law professors all swoon when they hear it, some of them even get the vapors like our pretty Miss Scarlett, but what’s the truth here?

There are no such things as self-evident truths. What we have are biased opinions that we choose to believe, so we dress them up in snazzy top hats and tails that even Fred Astaire would be proud to shimmy in. But nothing is self-evident. Just ask Hitler what was self-evident to him. Mao? Stalin? Manson?

People are not and never have been created. We just sorta dribbled up from the ground like a big heapin’ helpin’ o’ bubblin’ crude.

None of us are equal. How could we be? As products of evolution we all are endowed with very divergent physical characteristics, cognitive abilities, basic intelligence. In fact, we are as different as our fingerprints themselves, the barreling grooves on bullets, snowflakes, diamonds, never to be duplicated again. This is all very basic evolutionary psychology. But other than that, a fine example of the unparalleled genius of our forefathers.

Youse wants some more baby? I got’s some more right here, (yes I am grabbing myself).

What else do you believe that is pure myth? Well,

Jesus is a myth (as in never existed)

Buddha is a myth (see above)

Moses is a myth (oh please, you’ve got to be kidding)

Where’s your Moses now? Yeah?

Exodus was a myth (No way Jose)

Adam and Eve, (oh my goodness, get the electric shock ready)

Romantic Love is a myth

Justice is a myth

Equality is a myth

Free press is a myth

Unbiased media is a myth (left and right)

The American dream is a myth

Capitalism is a myth

Communism is a myth

BMW’s are a myth

Cartier is a myth

Royalty is a myth

Sex is a myth

Marriage is a myth

Beauty is a myth

Children are a myth

Fame is a myth

Politicians are a myth

Preachers are a myth

Psychology is a myth

“They say” is a myth

“They didn’t say” is a myth

Reality itself is a myth

What’s real?

Cold concrete, and

the endless supply of stone-eyed zombies,

belching out their daily nostrums of

aromatic garbage.

Your job, should you choose to accept it is to stay tuned and come back often as I shall endeavor to educate the uneducable, enlighten the slack-jawed, drooling trolls and, and finally,  have a few laughs along the way, because in the end, it’s all futility anyway. Enjoy the fuckin’ ride.
