Here is a twisted story in which Michael Schwartz clams that “‘All pornography is homosexual pornography, because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards.” In other words, Tell young boys that looking at pictures of naked women might make them gay.

This guy is one weird, confused guy. First, Mike, if that were true, most of my friends should be gay by now and second, their is nothing wrong with being gay.

anyway, you can read the rest at The Washington Monthly

So, you worry about the ingredients in vaccine because alleged “crazy” people like Jenny McCarthy, alarmist who have no idea what they are talking about, are trying to scare you and put you kids life in danger. Is Jenny right? I’m not claiming to know but, in my opinion, I listen to, oh I don’t know, someone actually qualified!

This is an episode of Skeptoid by Brian Dunning. For more information on Mr. Dunning, click here.

Found this fascinating. Robert Crumb, this most bizarre cartoonist ever, is illustrating the bible. He says he is leaving nothing out, and that’s good.

November 10th, 2009Who was the real Jesus?

Here is an interesting website that tackles the big question of who was Jesus, or did he exist at all.
Who was the real Jesus?

The following is a true story, according to Raël

Claude Vorilhon“Little Claudy” was born September 30, 1946 in Vichy, France, in the “Massif Central”, an area famous for its old volcanoes, and raised by his atheist Grandmother. During his life he was a street musician, a French teen pop star, race car driver, and automotive journalist. It was on December 13, 1973 the life of Claude Vorilhon would take an unexpected turn. While he was walking through a secluded volcanic crater, he saw a flying saucer, which landed right in front of him. A short, French speaking, human like alien called Yahweh emerged from the craft and explained all of the world’s secrets to the young man. Lucky guy huh?

In an TV interview March 13th, 1974 on the TV show: “Le Grand Echiquier”, Claude described the encounter.

“I wanted to take time and walk to the volcanoes, and there…I saw… walking by foot… I saw something that was shinny in the sky and then a trap opened under then engine, a stair unfolded and… and legs appeared,”

“Naked legs?” the reported asked

“No, no, green! If you think what I say is true, I just did a messenger job and in that way I think that what I am doing is good and if you think what I’m saying is false, I have such as fantastic imagination that I deserve respect.”

In another 1981 interview:
“I was in this volcanic crater in the central plane in France and I saw this light in the sky, a brilliant, blinding light. Then there was this machine, sliver and shaped like a bell with a convex bottom. It came down very slowly and stopped about 30 meters from me. At the time I thought it must be a flying saucer, you know, the kind we read about in the newspapers and it would leave the same way it appeared and I thought I would just tell me journalist friends about it and they wouldn’t believe me, just laugh at me. But them a trap door opened at the bottom and I saw two feet and them two legs and then a small man, about one meter, forty came out slowly and walk towards me. That was the most intense moment.”

The interview asked if he is on a mission.

“Yes, the mission is what I’m doing now, that is, to bring revelation, to bring light to all men who use to believe, either that they were created by a material god, or else that life was born by chance from a drop of water. Then the fish came, than the monkeys and finally man. But, in fact, we are created by people like us. We were created in the laboratory by genetic manipulation just as we are able to do now. My mission in life is to build an embassy were we bill be able to welcome them, were there will be diplomatic immunity, where we will be able to greet them on Earth.

The reported asked if he is the half brother of Jesus Christ

“Yes, that is true.” How can that be? “Well, we have the same father, cause Jesus was the son of an extraterrestrial and a women from Earth. And about 35 years ago they choice a women on Earth and with her they had a child and I’m that child, today.”

Are there some of them among us now, on Earth?

“No, they are observing us. They’re permanently observing us but they’re not among us on Earth. Not at the moment.”

Well why don’t they just come down now and prove their existence?

“Just imagine if they came down to any center on Earth. There would be an indescribable panic.”

But what about just for our cameras?

“for your cameras? It will happen in the embassy where all the press from the world will be invited, including you. For this will be the most important event in the history on mankind. Humanity will finally meet its creators.

Over six days, Claude learned that life and civilization on Earth was started by Yahweh’s race, the Elohim. This aliens race sent scientist down to earth with 25,000 years of scientific advance. They were called Elohim and over time tried to explain their message, but the humans, being way too primitive, misinterpreted all this and figured they were god. Yet, all the Old Testament events were actual real with the exception that they actually had natural explanations, but supernatural ones. No God doing all this, but the Elohim! Through DNA manipulation, Adam and Eve were created. Hey, get this, we are actually descendants of an aliens race.

The final bit Elohim told Vorilhon was that he would return. He just wanted to make sure enough people understood the true history of of Earth and that an embassy hall should be built for that reason!

Soon after this meeting, Vorilhon changed his name to Raël. He started, what today is known as the International Raëlian Movement

More to come. Here is a couple of YouTube Videos of Vorilhon:

The new film staring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Jeff Bridges, seems like a lighthearted comedy . . . and I’m sure it is. Yet, it is also a sad commentary on our government that they would waste you tax dollars on this bullshit. It is based on the The Men Who Stare at Goats (2004) is a book by Jon Ronson, which examines the governments attempt to use the paranormal to fight the War on Terror.

In 2004, the BBC ran a series called “Crazy Rulers of the World” and in episode one, they looked at the Bush administration and this actual story. Fortunately, this video is available on YouTube. Here is is!

November 3rd, 2009Charlene Werner and Homeopathy

One of the few bright spots of pseudoscience, like Homeopathy,  is that when given time to talk, these “experts” will shoot themselves in the foot. If you watch this following video and still think Homeopathy is the way to get cured, you deserve what you get. Does Dr Werner make any sense at all? If I didn’t know that this was being taken seriously by some people, I’d thing it was a joke!

Now I’m not a doctor, nor physicist, but I am smart enough to know what I have no business explaining how full of crap all this is. I do know that this lady does not know what she is talking about. I could write a thousand words on what I think is wrong with the the BS this person is spouting but I think you;d rather hear it from an expert. The following link is an article from the Wonderful Doctor Steven Novella, MD from his blog, Science-Based Medicine.

A Science Lesson from a Homeopath and Behavioral Optometrist

Please, if listening to this lady doesn’t convince you that Homeopathy is full of crap, listen to Dr. Novella.

October 30th, 2009The AIDS Conspiracy – WTF?

Is there nothing in the world that some jack-ass doesn’t think is some sort of conspiracy? Do a search for AIDS Conspiracy and see how many nutbags this that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, this it is all one big cover up!

Like this one:

The AIDS CONSPIRACY

Go to the site and see how many Logical Fallacies you can find at this site.

Check out Christine Maggiore, who was so convince that HIV does not cause AIDS, that she did not take any HIV medications, even while pregnant!

According to the Los Angeles Time, she said “Our children have excellent records of health, They’ve never had respiratory problems, flus, intractable colds, ear infections, nothing. So, our choices, however radical they may seem, are extremely well-founded.”

Seven weeks later, Eliza Jane was dead and according to the Los Angeles County coroner, died of AIDS-related pneumonia.

Of course even with all the evidence, this mother still refuses to believe that her distrust of the government was the cause of her child’s death!

A Mother’s Denial, a Daughter’s Death

So I’m a big fan of Skeptical Podcasts but I realize listening to podcasting is more the exception that the rule. So, I’m going to try to post dialogue from some of my favorite podcasts that express my beliefs. I hope the podcasters don;t mind! In this case, The Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe Podcast #222 – Oct 21 2009, talks to James Randi, in which the subject of Susan Summers, Oprah Winfrey and Chemotherapy come up!

Sometimes it might be hard to understand what is being said and that’s when I use (???). I may skip little bits of dialogue that has no significance on the conversation. I would recommend that you listen to the actual show!

James Randi

Susan Summers made an announcement the just the other day when I was in midst of Chemo infusion. I turned on the television and she was there on Oprah Winfrey, was it, I think it was Oprah Winfrey.

Evan Bernstein

Yes I think so, yeah

James Randi

And she was saying that Chemotherapy has been proven to be total nonsense, so I yanked the needle out of my arm, of course (Laughter) You know what kind of authority she is! She’s an actress! She medial training is profound!

Steve Novella

Susan Summers, man, don’t me started on her. So she recently said that, um, Patrick Swayze, you know, who died on cancer, she said he died because of the Chemotherapy.

James Randi

That’s right!

Steve Novella

Than she has to apologize for it

James Randi

Oprah just fawns over her like crazy! Oprah is one of the most dangerous women in history, let alone in this (??)

Evan Bernstein

Thanks you. Yes! We’ve been saying that for quite some time now.

Steve Novella

Absolutely. She gives the platform for every crank and charlatan that’s out there.

Evan Bernstein

Oh, Absolutely. She’s the loud speaker, she’s the amplifier. No doubt. She takes something that’s terrible and makes it 100 times worse.

James Randi

And makes it, apparently acceptable to a lot of little ladies who are sitting there in their rocking chairs and watching. And they’ll go out and buy the book.

Steve Novella

She basically our nemesis!

This is from Washington D.C. 1993. What do you think?

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi began teaching Transcendental Meditation to the world in 1957 and later brought out the TM-Sidhi’s including Yogic Flying to help create world peace. Many people have been skeptical about the programs while science has continually been verifying the efficacy of these programs.
