If you are a privileged White American suburbanite LARP-ing as a Wiccan and feel "offended" or even "oppressed" by the recent conversion to Christianity of Alex-Reads-Tarot...GROW THE FUCK UP.

The Spinoza method
OK, this is going to be a rant, but whatever...
"The Spinoza method" seems to be just another version of the OTF. And probably even more silly, since it presupposes from the start that all religious scriptures should be interpreted literally (does that include "The Gospel of Thomas"?) and are obviously fake. But the atheist narrator admits that billions of people believe in it. So clearly it isn´t *obviously* fake, is it? The point of the rhetoric is obvious: the small minority who has seen through it are Brights. And everyone else is an idiot. I suppose that must be a wondeful thing to hear when you´re in senior high or college (where most American atheists took up their atheism). Smart people! LOL.
Since the main point of the video is to attack Christianity, it´s actually quite funny that the last segment of this video comes across as an evangelization tool for...wait for it...Zoroastrianism! Now, Zoroastrianism is probably the religion I most would *like* to be true, so the idea that Jesus is really the Shaoshyant does have a certain intrinsic appeal. But no, I don´t believe it either.
A competent Christian apologist should be able to respond to this video. Sure, the response might be "wrong", but I think it could be made to sound convincing. Simply presupposing that you´re right won´t help you there, buddy.

Lack of belief in Australia
I linked to some of MythVision´s skeptical-minimalist Bible documentaries before. Here, he discusses what would make him go back to Christianity. Spoiler: probably nothing at this point.
I would be convinced that "God" or "the supernatural-spiritual" exists if I had a very strong experience suggesting just that. Not sure what would convince me of Christianity specifically, though. Or American evangelicalism in particular. Even a strong experience of Jesus could be interpreted in a pluralist manner, after all. Especially if he comes draped in the Star-Spangled Banner! I mean, why not the flag of Vatican City, huh?
For discussion purposes. The floor is open.
Stulna mandat
Några vinjetter från Fria Tider (oberoende ytterhöger) om det kommande svenska valet.
Markus Allard på väg mot riksdagen?
SD: "Etnicitet är inte politik"
AFS: Förbjud somalier i Sverige
Och så har vi den här vänsterliberala kommentaren igen:
Radikalhögern förökar sig genom delning
Som jag tidigare har påpekat är det oklart om dessa opinionsmätningar verkligen är tillförlitliga. Men visst, det skulle ju kunna bli intressant om Örebropartiet lyckas bli invalda i riksdagen. Men eftersom de antagligen kommer att stjäla röster från det blivande oppositionspartiet SD lär det inte påverka regeringsbildningen...
Made in Marocko
Det verkar som att varken högern eller vänstern kan hantera det faktum att stormningen av den spanska enklaven Ceuta var en marockansk politisk provokation. Och alltså inte en "vanlig" migrantkris, vilket båda sidor tydligen vill hävda.
The return of the pink elephant
Alex Jones apparently wants to remove Trump by impeachment or the 25th amendment. Cuz Iran-Israel something something.
Oh.
For the record. Sorry for the self-referential title of this blog post!
A universe in a grain of sand
Or 9 out of 10 on a bullshit meter? Sabine isn´t *terribly* impressed by the recent headlines about some scientist creating a "mini-universe" in a lab, und so weiter.

Det är tydligen en russifierad korean som äger Wildberries, Rysslands största e-handelsföretag. Ukraina har under en period bombad företagets lagerlokaler av diverse orsaker. Hübinette har kvittona.

The Mecca-Medina conflict
Styx is experiencing some turbulence right now, but the latest rumor takes the prize. Apparently, some people somewhere claim that he is a Muslim or is becoming one. Eh? The reason seems to be that he wants to end Trump´s war with Iran. So presumably Styx is now a Twelver Shia Muslim, then. As opposed to a Christian Protestant Nationalist? Or what?
He seems to be an occultic libertarian. As he has been for the past two decades or so.
And btw, I´m aware of the "Mecca-Medina conflict" and have read the Tibetan Book of the Dead. There!
