Damn, this stuff *sounds* deadly -- to one's brain cells.

I've never understood why people get drunk or take narcotics for
recreational purposes. Deliberately disrupting one's neural network
to experience the effects seems illogical and, well, stupid, and to
manufacture products that endanger non-imbibers seems criminal.

Seriously? Not *everybody* drinks alcohol or uses narcotics or
anything like that. I never did, I never smoked pot, nor tobacco,
and I've never been drunk -- I dislike most alcohols and I hate
beer.

A lot of the people I hike with or bicycle with, camp, swim, or
climb with also don't imbibe in anything like that though I don't
know their reasons.

As society turns further away from God, they try to fill the emptiness
of their souls with such things. But these do not satisfy. They simply
lead to further emptiness and eventual despair..unless one comes to
the Source of peace and eternal satisfaction as is freely offered thru
a living connection with, and surrender to, our loving Creator - God.

None of the theistic idiots derive their religious doctrines from the
Bible. They impose their doctrines on the Bible. They can always find
something that fits their preconceptions and the ignore everything that
does not.

It was an (admittedly poor) joke, not helped by misspelling 'tried' as
'tied'. However, though the beer produced by monks is still
obtainable at my local supermarkets, unlike long beer (or ale), the
ale was produced in amounts which I suggest probably dwarfed the
monk's output. I was referring firstly to your use of "mostly". The
temperance movement finally managed to wean the Victorian farmers off
their ale in favour of tea. Their health suffered (from The Victorian
Farm BBC2).

Water quality was so poor it was safer to drink (brewed) beer.

Judeao/Christian/Islamic Civilisation has produced enormous advances

Von Krapsch had no rational response to the facts, so he did what
every militant atheist doe when his hate filled anti-theist propaganda
is challenged by historical facts, SNIP, RUN and spew poitless ABUSE.

Atheists do that because of the enormous frustrations they feel because
atheism is in global decline, after the catastrophic slaughters carried
out by ever atheist regime of the 20th century.

Judeao/Christian/Islamic Civilisation has produced enormous advances
in the quality of life enjoyed by humans, despite the massive
regression into barbarity during the atheist regimes of the 20th
century.
Christians complain about "barbarity".

Oh, the irony..................




GE 6:11-17, 7:11-24 God is unhappy with the wickedness of man and
decides to do something about it. He kills every living thing on the
face of the earth other than Noah's family and thereby makes himself
the greatest mass murderer in history.

EX 9:22-25 A plague of hail from the Lord strikes down everything in
the fields of Egypt both man and beast except in Goshen where the
Israelites reside.

EX 12:29 The Lord kills all the first-born in the land of Egypt.

EX 21:20-21 With the Lord's approval, a slave may be beaten to death
with no punishment for the perpetrator as long as the slave doesn't
die too quickly.

EX 32:27 "Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from
gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and
every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.

EX 32:27-29 With the Lord's approval, the Israelites slay 3000 men.

LE 26:7-8 The Lord promises the Israelites that, if they are obedient,
their enemies will "fall before your sword."

LE 26:22 "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you
of your children."

LE 26:29, DT 28:53, JE 19:9, EZ 5:8-10 As a punishment, the Lord will
cause people to eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters and
fathers and friends.

NU 16:27-33 The Lord causes the earth to open and swallow up the men

Damn, this stuff *sounds* deadly -- to one's brain cells.
I've never understood why people get drunk or take narcotics for
recreational purposes. Deliberately disrupting one's neural network
to experience the effects seems illogical and, well, stupid..
As society turns further away from God, they try to fill the emptiness
of their souls with such things.
So why was beer brewed mostly by monks in middle ages Europe?
Water quality was so poor it was safer to drink (brewed) beer.
Judeao/Christian/Islamic Civilisation has produced enormous advances
in the quality of life enjoyed by humans, despite the massive regression
into barbarity during the atheist regimes of the 20th century.

Christians complain about "barbarity".
a. I'm not a Christian
b. Why would it matter if I was..
c. Why wouldn't any normal person complain about
such barbarity?
d. Why do you defend such barbarity and not condemn it?
Post by Mitchell Holman
Oh, the irony..................
You wouldn't know irony if it bit you on the arse.

You snipped the issue in an attempt to change the topic
from atheist barbarity to some diversion based NOT on the actions
of Christians but the Stories Told by some pre-Christian tribes! 8^o

Oh the IDIOTIC MENDACITY! B^D

Is their any reason, other than your desire to cover up for
the atrocities of fellow atheists, for you to ignore a topic
which rightfully BELONGS in alt.atheism, and try to divert to
a discussion of matters more appropriate to alt.RELIGION, especially
when you are so ignorant you don't seem to know which religions are
which and you actually BLAME CHRISTIANS for events that purportedly
occurred in PRE- CHRISTIAN TIMES!!!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAAA

Oh the HYPOCRISY! B^p

GE 6:11-17, 7:11-24
God is unhappy with the wickedness of man and
decides to do something about it.
"God" is a pre-Christian concept.

Why do you claim Christians are responsible for these alleged deaths?
Post by Mitchell Holman
He kills every living thing on the
face of the earth other than Noah's family
incorrect. Even if we take these 'stories' you quote
as evidence, to be LITERAL AND True, other lifeforms were
spared (some kind of DNA Ark).

And most of the life on earth is in the oceans, the
airborne mocrobes survived and, finally, how many humans
were on the earth at the time? 100,000? 1,000,000?

Hell, each of the atheist regimes of the 20th century
killed more than that!!! The Union of Savage Slaughter
and Repression killed over 40,000,000. the Maoist Great Leap Backward
and Cultural Devolution another >40,000,000!!

And how is an "Act of God", an apocalyptic flood, the fault of the
Christians? They weren't even around then!!! B^D

According to you every atheist must therefore be held responsible
for all those acts of murder by atheist regimes!

And yet you want to hold people living today responsible for
the purported acts of an ancient Deity??? 8^o

What a crazy nutter!!!
Post by Mitchell Holman
and thereby makes himself
the greatest mass murderer in history.
I added up all the figures you included in this taxt
which YOU present as an accurate historical document;

Apparently you hold an entity referred to as 'God',
not modern Christians, to be responsible for the death
of LESS THAN 50,000 people (the rest of your cites
are unquantified, and refer to small TRIBES of goat herders.

The atheist regimes killed OVER 70,000,000 people, men women
and children, in just 7 decades... The peer reviewed data
based on historical evidence is listed below to show how atheist
regimes are clearly responsible for the greatest slaughters in
human history.. far more than the killing by ANY religion!!! B^[

So you use a document setting down tribal stories as if it is FIRM,

inconsistently blames "God", "serpents", Moses and "Israelites"

..and it still only has numbers adding up to less than

# Soviet Union, Stalin's regime (1924-53): 20 000 000 [make link]

* There are basically two schools of thought when it comes to the
number who died at Stalin's hands. There's the "Why doesn't anyone
realize that communism is the absolutely worst thing ever to hit the
human race, without exception, even worse than both world wars, the
slave trade and bubonic plague all put together?" school, and there's
the "Come on, stop exaggerating. The truth is horrifying enough without
you pulling numbers out of thin air" school. The two schools are
generally associated with the right and left wings of the political
spectrum, and they often accuse each other of being blinded by
prejudice, stubbornly refusing to admit the truth, and maybe even having
a hidden agenda. Also, both sides claim that recent access to former
Soviet archives has proven that their side is right.
* Here are a few illustrative estimates from the Big Numbers school:
o Adler, N., Victims of Soviet Terror, 1993 cites these:
+ Chistyakovoy, V. (Neva, no.10): 20 million killed
during the 1930s.
+ Dyadkin, I.G. (Demograficheskaya statistika
neyestestvennoy smertnosti v SSSR 1918-1956 ): 56 to 62 million
"unnatural deaths" for the USSR overall, with 34 to 49 million under Stalin.
+ Gold, John.: 50-60 million.
o Davies, Norman (Europe A History, 1998): c. 50 million
killed 1924-53, excluding WW2 war losses. This would divide (more or
less) into 33M pre-war and 17M after 1939.
o Rummel, 1990: 61,911,000 democides in the USSR 1917-87, of
which 51,755,000 occurred during the Stalin years. This divides up into:
+ 1923-29: 2,200,000 (plus 1M non-democidal famine deaths)
+ 1929-39: 15,785,000 (plus 2M non-democidal famine)
+ 1939-45: 18,157,000
+ 1946-54: 15,613,000 (plus 333,000 non-democidal famine)
+ TOTAL: 51,755,000 democides and 3,333,000 non-demo.
famine
o William Cockerham, Health and Social Change in Russia and
Eastern Europe: 50M+
o Wallechinsky: 13M (1930-32) + 7M (1934-38)
+ Cited by Wallechinsky:
# Medvedev, Roy (Let History Judge): 40 million.
# Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr: 60 million.
o MEDIAN: 51 million for the entire Stalin Era; 20M during
the 1930s.
* And from the Lower Numbers school:
o Nove, Alec ("Victims of Stalinism: How Many?" in J. Arch
Getty (ed.) Stalinist Terror: New Perspectives, 1993): 9,500,000
"surplus deaths" during the 1930s.
o Cited in Nove:
+ Maksudov, S. (Poteri naseleniya SSSR, 1989): 9.8
million abnormal deaths between 1926 and 1937.
+ Tsaplin, V.V. ("Statistika zherty naseleniya v 30e
gody" 1989): 6,600,000 deaths (hunger, camps and prisons) between the
1926 and 1937 censuses.
+ Dugin, A. ("Stalinizm: legendy i fakty" 1989):
642,980 counterrevolutionaries shot 1921-53.
+ Muskovsky Novosti (4 March 1990): 786,098 state
prisoners shot, 1931-53.
o Gordon, A. (What Happened in That Time?, 1989, cited in
Adler, N., Victims of Soviet Terror, 1993): 8-9 million during the 1930s.
o Ponton, G. (The Soviet Era, 1994): cites an 1990 article by
Milne, et al., that excess deaths 1926-39 were likely 3.5 million and at
most 8 million.
o MEDIAN: 8.5 Million during the 1930s.
* As you can see, there's no easy compromise between the two
schools. The Big Numbers are so high that picking the midpoint between
the two schools would still give us a Big Number. It may appear to be a
rather pointless argument -- whether it's fifteen or fifty million, it's
still a huge number of killings -- but keep in mind that the population
of the Soviet Union was 164 million in 1937, so the upper estimates
accuse Stalin of killing nearly 1 out of every 3 of his people, an
extremely Polpotian level of savagery. The lower numbers, on the other
hand, leave Stalin with plenty of people still alive to fight off the
German invasion.
* [Letter]
* Although it's too early to be taking sides with absolute
certainty, a consensus seems to be forming around a death toll of 20
million. This would adequately account for all documented nastiness
without straining credulity:
o In The Great Terror (1969), Robert Conquest suggested that
the overall death toll was 20 million at minimum -- and very likely 50%
higher, or 30 million. This would divide roughly as follows: 7M in
1930-36; 3M in 1937-38; 10M in 1939-53. By the time he wrote The Great
Terror: A Re-assessment (1992), Conquest was much more confident that 20
million was the likeliest death toll.
o Britannica, "Stalinism": 20M died in camps, of famine,
executions, etc., citing Medvedev
o Brzezinski: 20-25 million, dividing roughly as follows: 7M
destroying the peasantry; 12M in labor camps; 1M excuted during and
after WW2.
o Daniel Chirot:
+ "Lowest credible" estimate: 20M
+ "Highest": 40M
+ Citing:
# Conquest: 20M
# Antonov-Ovseyenko: 30M
# Medvedev: 40M
o Courtois, Stephane, Black Book of Communism (Le Livre Noir

+ Essay by Nicolas Werth: 15M
+ [Ironic observation: The Black Book of Communism
seems to vote for Hitler as the answer to the question of who's worse,
Hitler (25M) or Stalin (20M).]
o John Heidenrich, How to Prevent Genocide: A Guide for
Policymakers, Scholars, and the Concerned Citizen (2001): 20M, incl.
+ Kulaks: 7M
+ Gulag: 12M
+ Purge: 1.2M (minus 50,000 survivors)
o Adam Hochschild, The Unquiet Ghost: Russians Remember
Stalin: directly responsible for 20 million deaths.
o Tina Rosenberg, The Haunted Land: Facing Europes Ghosts
After Communism (1995): upwards of 25M
o Time Magazine (13 April 1998): 15-20 million.

Stalin, the median is 30 million.

editions (such as 1978) did, and they cited sources which
are similar, but not identical, to the Glaser & Possony sources:
+ On 7 Apr. 1969 the Soviet government radio reported
that 26,300,000 people were killed in China, 1949-65.
+ In April 1971 the cabinet of the government of Taiwan
reported 39,940,000 deaths for the years 1949-69.
+ The Walker Report (see below): between 32,2500,000
and 61,700,000.
* Harff and Gurr:
o KMT cadre, rich peasants, landlords (1950-51):
800,000-3,000,000
o Cultural Revolution (1966-75): 400,000-850,000
* John Heidenrich, How to Prevent Genocide: A Guide for
Policymakers, Scholars, and the Concerned Citizen:
27M death toll, incl. 2M in Cultural Revolution
* Paul Johnson doesn't give an overall total, but he gives
estimates for the principle individual mass dyings of the Mao years:
o Land reform, first years of PRC: at least 2 million people
perished.
o Great Leap Forward: "how many millions died ...
is a matter of conjecture."
o Cultural Revolution: 400,000, calling the 3 Feb. 1979
estimate by Agence France Presse, "The most widely respected figure".
* Meisner, Maurice, Mao's China and After (1977, 1999), doesn't
give an overall total either, but he does give estimates for the three
principle mass dyings of the Mao years:
o Terror against the counterrevolutionaries: 2 million people
executed during the first three years of the PRC.
o Great Leap Forward: 15-30 million famine-related deaths.
o Cultural Revolution: 400,000, citing a 1979 estimate by
Agence France Presse.
* R. J. Rummel:
o Estimate:
+ Democide: 34,361,000 (1949-75)
# The principle episodes being...
* All movements (1949-58): 11,813,000
o incl. Land Reform (1949-53): 4,500,000
* Cult. Rev. (1964-75): 1,613,000
* Forced Labor (1949-75): 15,000,000
* Great Leap Forward (1959-63): 5,680,000
democides
+ War: 3,399,000
+ Famine: 34,500,000
# Great Leap Forward: 27M famine deaths
+ TOTAL: 72,260,000
o Cited in Rummel:
+ Li, Cheng-Chung (Republic of China, 1979): 78.86M
direct/indirect deaths.
+ World Anti-Communist League, True Facts of Maoist
Tyranny (1971): 64.5M
+ Glaser & Possony: 38 to 67M (see above)
+ Walker Report, 1971 (see below): 31.75M to 58.5M
casualties of Communism (excluding Korean War).
+ Current Death Toll of International Communism (1979):
39.9M
+ Stephen R. Shalom (1984), Center for Asian Studies,
Deaths in China Due To Communism: 3M to 4M death toll,
excluding famine.
* Walker, Robert L., The Human Cost of Communism in China (1971,
report to the US Senate Committee of the Judiciary)
"Casualties to Communism" (deaths):
o 1st Civil War (1927-36): .25-.5M
o Fighting during Sino-Japanese War (1937-45): 50,000
o 2nd Civil War (1945-49): 1.25M
o Land Reform prior to Liberation: 0.5-1.0M
o Political liquidation campaigns: 15-30M
o Korean War: 0.5-1.234M
o Great Leap Forward: 1-2M
o Struggle with minorities: 0.5-1.0M
o Cultural Revolution: .25-.5M
o Deaths in labor camps: 15-25M
o TOTAL: 34.3M to 63.784M
o TOTAL FOR PRC: 32M to 59.5M
* July 17, 1994, Washington Post (Great Leap Forward 1959-61)
o Shanghai University journal, Society: > 40 million
o Cong Jin: 40 million
o Chen Yizi: 43 million in the famine. 80 million total as a
result of Mao's policies.
* Weekly Standard, 29 Sept. 1997, "The Laogai Archipelago" by D.
Aikman:
o Between 1949 and 1997, 50M prisoners passed through the
labor camps, and 15,000,000 died (citing Harry Wu)
* WHPSI: 1,633,319 political executions and 25,961 deaths from
political violence, 1948-77. TOTAL: 1,659,280
* Analysis: If we line up the 14 sources which claim to be
complete, the median falls in the 45.75 to 52.5 million
range, so you probably can't go wrong picking a final
number from this neighborhood.
Depending on how you want to count some of the incomplete
estimates (such as Becker and Meisner) and whether to count a
source twice (or thrice, as with Walker) if it's referenced by
two different authorities, you can slide the median up and
down the scale by many millions. Keep in mind, however, that
official Chinese records are hidden from scrutiny,
so most of these numbers are pure guesses. It's pointless
to get attached to any one of them, because the real number
could easily be half or twice any number here.
* Perhaps a better way of estimating would be to add up the
individual components. The medians here are:
o Purges, etc. during the first few years: 2M (10 estimates)
o Great Leap Forward: 31-33M (14 estimates)
o Cultural Revolution: 1M (13 estimates)
o Ethnic Minorities, primarily Tibetans: 750-900T
(8 estimates, see below)
o Labor Camps: 20M (5 estimates)
o This produces a total of some 54,750,000 to 56,900,000
deaths. The weak link in this calculation is in the
Labor Camp numbers for which we only have 5 estimates.
* Notice that many early body counts (such as Walker) completely
miss the famine during the Great Leap Forward, which was
largely unknown in the west until around 1980. There are two
contradictory ways to assess those early estimates which
ignore the famine:
1. "If these are the numbers that they came up with without
the famine, imagine how high the true number will be
once you add the famine deaths."
2. "Can we trust any of these numbers? After all, if they
missed such a huge famine, they can't have known very much
about what was going on inside China."
* ... so this line of reasoning will get us nowhere. In fact, the
median of the 7 estimate that predate 1980 is 45.7M, which is
almost the same as the median of the 7 estimates that post-date
1980 -- 58M. (At this scale, a 12M difference counts as "almost
the same".)


Now, remember, these are the CITIZENS of those atheist shitholes being
killed by the Atheist regimes who made their lives such misery and
despair that when the atheist regimes crumbled from their own evil and
incompetence, the people could not wait to shuck off the filthy atheist
shitpigs and their nightmare.. and embrace a path more tolerant of
religion.. since then their nations have prospered.. still suffering
the deep scars of atheist abuse, but once more part of Civilisation and
making progress!!


Now, all you have to do is show similar EVIDENCE.. not your IDIOTIC
OPINIONS, or those of some other atheist cretin.. that countries like
the USA, which Prints "In God We Trust" on it's money, is in any way
such a murderous tyranny, torturing terrorising and murdering over
20,000,000 of it's citizens!

Off you go you snivelling atheist fraud!

Damn, this stuff *sounds* deadly -- to one's brain cells.
I've never understood why people get drunk or take narcotics for
recreational purposes. Deliberately disrupting one's neural network to
experience the effects seems illogical and, well, stupid..
As society turns further away from God, they try to fill the emptiness
of their souls with such things.
So why was beer brewed mostly by monks in middle ages Europe?
And Benedictine and other liquers.

"our loving Creator", in action.




GE 6:11-17, 7:11-24 God is unhappy with the wickedness of man and
decides to do something about it. He kills every living thing on the
face of the earth other than Noah's family and thereby makes himself
the greatest mass murderer in history.

EX 9:22-25 A plague of hail from the Lord strikes down everything in
the fields of Egypt both man and beast except in Goshen where the
Israelites reside.

EX 12:29 The Lord kills all the first-born in the land of Egypt.

EX 21:20-21 With the Lord's approval, a slave may be beaten to death
with no punishment for the perpetrator as long as the slave doesn't
die too quickly.

EX 32:27 "Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from
gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and
every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.

EX 32:27-29 With the Lord's approval, the Israelites slay 3000 men.

LE 26:7-8 The Lord promises the Israelites that, if they are obedient,
their enemies will "fall before your sword."

LE 26:22 "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you
of your children."

LE 26:29, DT 28:53, JE 19:9, EZ 5:8-10 As a punishment, the Lord will
cause people to eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters and
fathers and friends.

NU 16:27-33 The Lord causes the earth to open and swallow up the men
and their households (including wives and children) because the men
had been rebellious.

NU 16:35 A fire from the Lord consumes 250 men.

NU 16:49 A plague from the Lord kills 14,700 people.

NU 21:6 Fiery serpents, sent by the Lord, kill many Israelites.

NU 21:35 With the Lord's approval, the Israelites slay Og "... and his
sons and all his people, until there was not one survivor left ...."

NU 25:4 (KJV) "And the Lord said unto Moses, take all the heads of the
people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun ...."

NU 31:17-18 Moses, following the Lord's command, orders the Israelites
to kill all the Midianite male children and "... every woman who has
known man ...." (Note: How would it be determined which women had
known men? One can only speculate.)

Sadly, acquired theism is not a recognised mental illness in this
decade.
In 200 years, they will be as puzzled as we are today about how on
earth schizophrenia used to be seen as demon possession, about how
acquired theism was not seen to be plainly as a mental illness.

It's not his theism per se, but his refusal to grasp that there is a

But that affliction has a profound correlation with theism.
The direction of correlation is open to question for each individual
case.
Closed minds are attracted to theism.
Thesim causes closed minds.
In fact, the correlation may be bi-modal in the majority of cases: a
self-reinforcing downward spiral of brain to backside and back again,

Damn, this stuff *sounds* deadly -- to one's brain cells.
I've never understood why people get drunk or take narcotics for
recreational purposes. Deliberately disrupting one's neural network
to experience the effects seems illogical and, well, stupid..
As society turns further away from God, they try to fill the emptiness
of their souls with such things. But these do not satisfy. They simply
lead to further emptiness and eventual despair..unless one comes to
the Source of peace and eternal satisfaction as is freely offered thru
a living connection with, and surrender to, our loving Creator - God.
A liar as well as an idiot.

You might just as well have said that.
And if you had an IQ bigger than a banana slug's, you would have
realised there was no difference where you are rudely and stupidly
preaching your bullshit.
What's wrong with you?
Why haven't you had help for your mental illness?
Sadly, acquired theism is not a recognised mental illness in this
decade.
In 200 years, they will be as puzzled as we are today about how on
earth schizophrenia used to be seen as demon possession, about how
acquired theism was not seen to be plainly as a mental illness.
Mark my words.
It's not his theism per se, but his refusal to grasp that there is a
world beyond it where people don't believe as he does.
The trouble is, all the bigots are thinking this world is theirs and
we are part of the system.
This is why past misdeeds were carried out in the name of the sky

Only the Muslims can make enforcement of their religious laws now but
not others, since they have not grown out of their barbarism.

as much as they do now, right?

Hmm.

Or perhaps we could look at this way: the people in our
society who make the most noise about being holy, Christian

alcoholism and substance abuse, correct?

That's not true, atheists use less illegal narcotics, drink less
alcohol, and commit less jailable crimes than theists do. The more
cult-driven a society, the more deadly, dangerous, crime riddled,
and evil.

Also the more atheist a country is, the higher the quality of life
is and the higher average longivity, less infant mortality and a
whole whose of things.

The Christanics in the United States consume 23rds of the world's
psychotropic medications -- which says a lot about Christianity.

I suppose it's *possible* that deliberatly poisoning oneself to
experience the toxic effects is a survival mechanism since it
may tend to alleviate boredom. More likely is it kept the dopers
sitting on their couches watching MAD TV eating cheetos and
snickering than running outside hunting dangerous carnivores.

Fun is not logical, but it *is* fun.

Alcohol is a social lubricant - it reduces inhibitions - so if you
are shy (I am) it makes you less shy.
This reduction in inhibition also means that people will more easily
be agressive or overtly sexual in their behaviour.
If you are a shy
The other recreational drugs have other desirable and negative
effects.
People take the drugs for the positive effects - and hope the negative
effects dont catch up with them.

There are good reasons you have evolved shyness:

- when you have little talent and Low IQ it is best to maintain
a low profile.

- you have learned from experience that when people get to know you,
they don't like you.

Alcohol reduces your social and perceptual skills, motor co-ordination
and embarrassment threshold.. hence, you remain unlikeable, even
become more so, but are unaware of the disdain which would normally
restrain you from making a complete arse of yourself, in public! B^p

Sure, as you get more pissed and obnoxious, feeling up the
Football team Quarterback's girlfriend while she was ordering drinks
and ignoring your fashionable Lampshade Headwear, he get's more prepared
to "rip off your head and shit down your throat".

Thus alcohol makes people more stupid AND aggressive while
simultaneously blocking their perception and intelligence receptors,
so they think they are being witty and charming. In short, they turn
into brainless cretins just like this:

Jung was right:


"Among all my patients in the second half of life, that is, over
thirty-five, there has not been one whose problem in the last
resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because
he had lost that which the living religions of every age
have given their followers, and none of them has really
been healed who did not regain his religious outlook."

-Carl G. Jung Modern Man in Search of a Soul

They cannot RECOGNISE Love, because they think it means
perverted SEX!!!!!!

Talking to an atheist about Love is like speaking to the BLIND
about the colours of a sunset.

The snip it all and make ANIMAL noises.. they are captives
of their Lower Self.

Alcoholism, like syphillis and atheism, causes brain damage
and the symptoms include memory loss, as Ritalin Richo demonstrates,
by forgetting where you are, what you are doing, even WHO
you are.. IN MID SENTENCE:-

Once again we find atheists defending mind altering drugs which
kill tens of thousands every year, and attacking the religious
communities who provide the rehab and support services to look after
their burnouts.

Alcohol is involved in most road trauma, domestic violence,
child abuse.. etc etc..

population identified itself as either Muslim, Catholic, Protestant,
Hindu or Buddhist, and 100 years of secularism, and technological
advancement, and scientific progress later and that number is now
two thirds.

So, for those of you who enjoy beginning coffee shop

it's not happening at all.

Okay simple analysis.

The most recent ARIS report (2008 survey) shows 76% of the adults in
the USA self-identify as Christians, and just 0.7% self identify as
Atheists.

So that is 760 in every 1,000 and 7 in every 1,000 respectively.

The most recent data I obtained from the Federal Bureau of Prisons
(2010 actual data) shows 56% of inmates self-identify as Christians
and just 0.08% self-identify as Atheists.

So that is 560 in every 1,000 and less than 1 in every 1,000
respectively.

Seems to me if Christians were actually more law abiding and morally
superior to the Atheists the figures ought to be the other way round.

But tell me, why do you accept what the ARIS report shows when it is
only a survey, and claim that the data gathered from the prison
inmates is false?

After all claiming to be a Christian once you are already an inmate
isn't going to change your sentence is it?

The ARIS Data is well known, it's the lack of citation for
the prison's data that destroys his credibility.


Is it an anonymous survey? Atheists are widely despised (see "Atheists
distrusted" below) and many lie about their position, if it suits them,
as this demonstrates:

admit their atheism.

# "From a telephone sampling of more than 2,000 households,

# below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and
# other minority groups in “sharing their vision of

So the atheists, unless it's a completely ANONYMOUS

reveal their atheism. Especially in jail! 8^o

# Atheists are also the minority group most Americans are
# least willing to allow their children to marry.
#
# Even though atheists are few in number, not formally

# they are seen as a threat to the American way of life
# by a large portion of the American public.
#

Seen as a threat! 8^o so they would have to be careful
in the showers! 8^o

# Many of the study’s respondents associated atheism with
# an array of moral indiscretions ranging from criminal
# behavior to rampant materialism and cultural elitism.

Jeez, who would own up to being an atheist in prison, eh? B^D

Like admitting you're a paedophile!


# Edgell believes a fear of moral decline and resulting

Damn, this stuff *sounds* deadly -- to one's brain cells.
I've never understood why people get drunk or take narcotics for
recreational purposes.
Fun is not logical, but it *is* fun.
For who? The drunks, or their VICTIMS?
Some people use alcohol and are not "drunks" and don't have victims.

are shy (I am) it makes you less shy.
- when you have little talent and Low IQ it is best to maintain
a low profile.
- you have learned from experience that when people get to know you,
they don't like you.
Alcohol reduces your social and perceptual skills, motor co-ordination
and embarrassment threshold.. hence, you remain unlikeable, even
become more so, but are unaware of the disdain which would normally
restrain you from making a complete arse of yourself, in public! B^p
First you take drugs to reduce inhibition because you cannot
act authentically without chemical crutches, then you take more
drugs to cover up your humiliation and embarassment from acting
like a silly tosser('uninhibited')!!! B^D priceless!

"Among all my patients in the second half of life, that is, over
thirty-five, there has not been one whose problem in the last
resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because
he had lost that which the living religions of every age
have given their followers, and none of them has really
been healed who did not regain his religious outlook."
-Carl G. Jung Modern Man in Search of a Soul
They cannot RECOGNISE Love, because they think it means
perverted SEX!!!!!!
Talking to an atheist about Love is like speaking to the BLIND
about the colours of a sunset.
The snip it all and make ANIMAL noises.. they are captives

You claim that I need drugs - on what evidence?

I explained why they have appeal - are you saying that they have no
appeal?
If they have no appeal, then why have humans been endulging for (at

not. Again.

population identified itself as either Muslim, Catholic, Protestant,
Hindu or Buddhist, and 100 years of secularism, and technological
advancement, and scientific progress later and that number is now
two thirds.

it's not happening at all.

People are becoming more religious, not less religious,
and religion itself is also evolving"

Slightly odd statement, given how closely drug taking and religious
experience have been historically related, from the use of peyote in
ancient Schamanism to it s use in Maya and Aztec culture, from the
Judeo-Christian tradition (Exodus 30:23) to the new age religions.

It all depends on what one means by "extreme". There were a few orders and
individual monks whose practices could barely be distinguished from
Sado-Masochism, but frequent fasting, sleep denial and exposure to cold were
quite common and encouraged sometimes by "The Rule" of the particular order
itself. Naturally enough the resulting hallucinations were seen as either
of divine or satanic origin. There were also members of the laity who
gained high praise from the Church for such practices including a number of
saints. When I was a Catholic school student, this was all presented to us
as evidence of holiness. Christianity has always been attracted by the joys
of "suffering for the Lord".

Sure thing, you poor mentally defective loser.. from your

Clearly you accept that it causes harm, yet until I pointed that out,
and challenged your notion that 'reducing inhibitions' with alcohol
is a social lubricant you were telling us "so if you are shy (I am) it

And I challenged the veracity of your claims on behalf of drugs;

1. your belief that losing inhibitions is a 'social lubricant'

delusional behaviour, aggression, road trauma, domestic violence..

Communication, genuine, clear and with the full range of human
senses and emotions, UN-IMPEDED by distortions from drugs, is the
basis of healthy social relations.. alcohol is an IMPEDIMENT,
not a lubricant.

No, because you have explained your view that they help shy people
like you.

I dispute the TRUTH of the appeal you describe. I maintain,
on the basis of studies, that it promotes ILLUSIONS.

People THINK they are functioning better, and hence CRASH THEIR CAR,
or fall over, or believe they are being more witty and amusing.

- you have learned from experience that when people get to know you,
they don't like you.
Alcohol reduces your social and perceptual skills, motor co-ordination
and embarrassment threshold.. hence, you remain unlikeable, even
become more so, but are unaware of the disdain which would normally
restrain you from making a complete arse of yourself, in public! B^p

It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because

Damn, this stuff *sounds* deadly -- to one's brain cells.
I've never understood why people get drunk or take narcotics for
recreational purposes.
Fun is not logical, but it *is* fun.
For who? The drunks, or their VICTIMS?
Some people use alcohol and are not "drunks" and don't have victims.

Alcohol is a social lubricant
Atheism is factor in road trauma, child and
wife abuse, street violence...
You meant "alcohol"
See, you understand it's social costs, yet you advocate that
destructive toxin!
Do I?
Sure, YOU just identified alcohol with road trauma, child and
wife abuse, street violence... are you now denying they are
social costs???

Are you so drug addled you can't remember what you posted and is right
in front of your nose? B^D
Post by Richo
Have you got any evidence to back that up? - like a quote or
something?
Sure thing, you poor mentally defective loser.. from your
words "Alcohol is a social lubricant" (because "it reduces inhibitions"
..pffffft! ) to your words "You meant alcohol"

Clearly you accept that it causes harm, yet until I pointed that out,
and challenged your notion that 'reducing inhibitions' with alcohol
is a social lubricant you were telling us "so if you are shy (I am) it
makes you less shy." and you told us people take drugs because of
the "positive effects"

"People take the drugs for the positive effects" - richo

Now you want to pretend that you weren't describing alcohol in positive
terms! B^p

It seems as soon as I challenge your nonsense you BACK DOWN! B^D


WHAT "POSITIVE EFFECTS" do you claim drugs have?
On what evidence do you claim there are any real positive effects?

On what basis do you claim these alleged 'positive effects' are
THE reason, aren't you aware that they are ADDICTIVE?

You continue to claim that drugs HAVE POSITIVE EFFECTS but now
you deny you are speaking from personal experience, so list the studies
that support your view;

why do you now claim to speak ONLY on behalf of "Others"?
when previously you included yourself in the beneficiaries:

"Shy people, like me"

If you walk like a pro-drug advocate, and quack like a pro-drug
advocate then don't be surprised when people think you are a
pro-drug advocate, you delicate widdle Flower! B^D

Your own claim that ...."it makes you less shy." B^D

Your claim that drugs have 'positive benefits'.. are you

Shit, you poor sad little bastard, if you can't accept
your own admission that you need alcohol to make you feel
like you are functioning adequately in social situations
I suggest you STOP MAKING DISCLOSURES in public and seek

You defend drugs
No i didnt.
"People take the drugs for the positive effects -"
Post by Richo
I explained why they have appeal
And I challenged the veracity of your claims on behalf of drugs
which you have now BACKEDD OFF, from an ABSOLUTE claim that drugs
HAVE positive effects, to one where you just want to pretend you said
they 'appeal' to people, and the appeal may not be real, NOT be
POSITIVE. I also challenged your unproven claims;

1. your belief that losing inhibitions is a 'social lubricant'
when it is in fact a loss of conscious control which produces
delusional behaviour, aggression, road trauma, domestic violence..

Communication, genuine, clear and with the full range of human
senses and emotions, UN-IMPEDED by distortions from drugs, is the
basis of healthy social relations.. alcohol is an IMPEDIMENT,
not a lubricant.
Post by Richo
- are you saying that they have no appeal?
Clearly not because you explained your view that they help shy people
like you and I accept that is your idea of their Appeal. I just don't
share your OPINION.. I openly dispute your claim in defence of drug
taking that "People take the drugs for the positive effects -"
If you sincerely believe drugs TRULY HAVE positive effects, then
state what they are, make your case with EVIDENCE, and then explain why
you wouldn't "defend drugs". If you no longer believe drugs should be
defended based on the 'positive benefits' you allege, then just admit
it, you pathetic squirming weasel!

I dispute the TRUTH of the appeal you describe. I demand evidence
for the positive benefits you claim in your defence of drug taking..
I maintain, on the basis of studies, that drugs distort natural
processes, alter our perceptions of reality and thus promote ILLUSIONS.

People THINK they are functioning better, and hence CRASH THEIR CAR,
or fall over, or believe they are being more witty and amusing.
Post by Richo
If they have no appeal, then why have humans been endulging for (at
I never denied they have 'an appeal'.. I just pointed out it's
'appealing' to inadequate individuals, like you and your shyness,
who want to believe that some chemical can make you socially
adequate.

"Appeal" is how ad agencies and salespeople get you to do what they
want.. that doesn't make it good for you, you poor dimwit! B^D
Post by Richo
Post by fasgnadh
because they are your crutch,
No actually, they are not.
SO you recant your claim that drugs enable shy people like you
to function adequately, and you admit MY position that they
just THINK they are witty and entertaining, when they are merely PISSED!

Drunks are boring arseholes who BELIEVE they are fascinating.

Where's your evidence that they actually are?
Post by Richo
You are pretending to know things (this time about me)
No, you claimed to know things about drug users, viz they "take the
drugs for the positive effects -" I'm just challenging you
to tell us why defend drug taking based on these alleged, but not
demonstrated, 'positive benefits', until I challenged your
advocacy of drugs as having 'positive benefits', uunamed except
for your reference to your personal experience with Shyness.

Mow it appears you were simply talking through your arse.
You haven't been helped, you now agree drugs can't help, that
you no longer advocate them having 'positive benefits',
you were just bullshitting about them possibly 'helping' others..
something that you PRETENDED to know. B^p
Post by Richo
that you do not.
YOU told us drugs are a 'social lubricant' with 'positive benefits' for
shy people like you. (like what, getting fucked while drunk and
becoming pregnant at age 13? )

If you now deny it, that's fine. Your credibility was never
very high to begin with. pfffffttt!

Just another richo backflip! B^p
Post by Richo
Again.
But why do you do it?
Post by Richo
Silly Troll! Bad Troll!
but people can see that you abandon the substantive debate,
once I have demolished your position, and simply try to
argue what you "meant" when you told us drugs help shy
people like you.

You didn't say 'they think it helps them' you claimed it did.

Explain in detail how suppression of the higher order thinking
skills helps shy people like you feel like you are 'socially
lubricated', and tell us why you would simply believe sense
perception, when research shows it is so chronically inaccurate.

are shy (I am) it makes you less shy.
- when you have little talent and Low IQ it is best to maintain
a low profile.
- you have learned from experience that when people get to
know you, they don't like you.
Alcohol reduces your social and perceptual skills,
motor co-ordination
and embarrassment threshold.. hence, you remain unlikeable, even
become more so, but are unaware of the disdain which would normally
restrain you from making a complete arse of yourself, in public! B^p
First you take drugs to reduce inhibition because you cannot
act authentically without chemical crutches, then you take more
drugs to cover up your humiliation and embarrassment from acting
like a silly tosser('uninhibited')!!! B^D priceless!
And then you stop arguing the facts of the issue and want to debate
my assessment of your attitude to the 'positive benefits' of drugs
.. well.. it seems clear I have identified many of the NEGATIVE
effects.. and you haven't even got started on the justification
of your advoicacy of drug taking for it's alleged, but not even
