I actually found this on a youtube video where a kid who at first I thought was having a D&D speculation fantasy was actually explaining how Elves existed:

here's a bit of the transcripts

The evolution of Homo-Sapien Elvenæ would have around 170,000BCE give or take a few thousands years in the north western European region, possibly as a evolutionary sect from Homo-sapien neanderthalensis, or some other Hominid we have yet to dig up. The pointed ears could hear a wider range of decibels compared to human ears, thus allowing them to hunt more types of prey based on sound perception. We discover new races of hominids every year.

":In the modern would, we are genetically diverse due to the ease of immigration. but lets take the clock back 2,000 years. All over the world, the genes go as followed, In the Americas, the natives all had black hair brown eyes, in asia, black hair brown eyes, in africa black hair brown eyes, in the middle east black hair brown eyes, in south & east europe brown to black hair, brown to hazel eyes. In north west europe. Red to blonde hair, blue to grey eyes.

THIS person > paularenas26@yahoo.com < has entered a rather long response to a blog post of mine, which amounted to his "testimony" regarding jeebus and the gospel, and all that shit. How do I a) remove his post from my blog, and b) remove HIM from this forum? 

Here's the link to the website:  http://www.tencommandments.org/

Has anyone ever heard of this group? It seems to be run by a guy named Robert T. Lee; some of what he says is...just really fucked up. Here are some examples:

"It should, however, be our unwavering struggle, aim and endeavor, by all the righteous powers providentially given to us, whether great or small, through all and any appropriate means acceptable in the sight of God, to unhesitantly and boldly seek to bring about the absolute destruction of all immoral "rights" and "freedoms," without fear of the evil consequences of unjust injury, unjust punishment or unjust death"

"We should further seek to establish the rightful and fiery holy wrath of every government against all and any...who would practice any deed contrary to such moral rights, freedoms and holy responsibilities"

though i'm hardly anywhere near lending it credence, i've always found the idea of ectoplasm interesting.  i just finished reading hell house by richard matheson.  matheson has always been one of my favorite writers of horror and weird fiction--a lot of great twilight zone episodes were based on his work--but i found hell house to be a bit silly, especially the slapdash ending.  however, in it there is a paranormal researcher who is convinced that there are no conscious spirits and that all paranormal phenomena are projected by physical mediums utilizing electromagnetic radiation in the air.  in the book there are some interesting manifestations created from ectoplasm emanating from a medium's body.  the researcher obtains a sample and determines that its composition is purely organic, and that everything in it can be found in the human body.

so what i'm asking luminon (or anyone else who cares to weigh in), what do you think of the idea of ectoplasm?  i once read a blog by a self-professed paranormal researcher (don't remember where), and he said that any "true" paranormal expert scoffs at the notion of ectoplasm--that it doesn't really exist at all and that it's just an idea made popular by books and films.  then again, i know matheson prided himself on his knowledge of the paranormal and he claimed that nothing in hell house was "made up," but was all reworked from actual reports.

The First Cause Argument is commonly invoked to prove the existence of God.  I'm sure that nearly everyone here is familiar with it, but for the sake of completeness, it goes something like this:

Everything in the universe that exists is an effect of prior causes.  We can trace the causes of these effects, which are in turn effects of other causes.  We can't have an infinite regress of causes, as that would have required an infinite amount of time to pass before we reached the current state of affairs.  Therefore, there must be an effect that was not caused, a first cause.  That first cause is God. 

The traditional response is that the argument contradicts itself.  Either everything must have a cause, in which case God must as well (and the first cause disappears), or not everything requires a cause.  We know that at the scale of quantum effects, cause and effect get a bit unclear.  Some quantum phenomena do not require causes, but simply happen, or begin to exist, spontaneously, such as Hawking radiation and electron tunneling (please correct me if I am wrong on either of those counts).  So, not everything requires a cause.  And if not everything requires a cause, why should the universe itself require one, that cause being God?  In the very first moment, the universe was small enough to be affected by random quantum fluctuations. 

Therefore, in addition to the argument being self-contradictory, one of its premises is simply wrong. 

In the recent threads discussing Israel/Palenstine, there was a rejection of comparing the suffering of the Indians to the Jews. I did some poking around and found an enlightening 1875 article regarding The Indian Question by a Reverend Ainslie from the Idaho territory and my jaw kept dropping the more I read. I had thought the Presbyterians were a "higher" church, but back then they were as bigoted as fundamentalist today. I cannot believe there was no shade of doubt by this author that Christianity is the answer for these "savages" and saving their souls is their only hope. Have a read and see the blessings Christianity has brought on the Americas. Genocide is a monotheistic characteristic. Only ONE God and ONE way. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

You heard it hear first (perhaps). I love me prophecies that are yet to come. Now we wait but not for long.

Cindy Jacobs endorses a prophesy from Sam Brassfield against gay rights and the Obama administration.

A DC blizzard this winter will freeze the plans of the enemy and scandal for Obama.

This is to the Black Eye Peas song "My Humps (my little lady lumps)", which is a conversation between Will.I.Am and Fergy talking about her breasts and ass. Very sexual. Where are the parents here, people?

But some of the great hymns came from bar songs. Wine, Women and Rock & Roll. There is a yin-yang connection between "good" & "evil". I think this stuff shows they need each other and live on the same side of the street.
