I returned about an hour ago from a Mass celebrating All Souls Day,
the day Catholics the world over remember all who have died. The
first reading was from the opening verses of Chapter 3 of the Book of
Wisdom, which the Roman Catholic Church includes in the canon of the
Bible. Most Protestant denominations consider it one of the
Apocrypha, but I think all officially subscribe to the hope expressed
in the opening verses:

"The souls of the just are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them. They seemed,
in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their
passing away was thought to be an affliction and
their going forth to death, utter destruction. But the
are in peace...
...the LORD shall be their King forever. Those who
trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful
shall abide with him in love..."

I don't think I could long bear to contemplate the fate of millions of
unborn children who are aborted each year, including tens of thousands
of viable ones, many of whom are torn limb from limb while still
alive, were it not for the hope (sometimes strong, sometimes almost
vanishingly faint) that this passage is not only true but applies to
these unfortunates as well. For them, and to all the women who are
killed in abortion, and indeed for all the dead, past, present, and
future, I joined in the prayer:

*Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem sempiternam.*
Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest everlasting.

Sure you can, bigot. You already do. While you sit on yooiur lying,
hypocritical ass you are letting children die of hunger at the rate of
a couple every minute. While you sit in your comfortable home and
spend money to show the world how disgustingly immoral you are,
children are starving for want of $1 per day worth of food and clean
water.

The TRUTH is that you are just a control freak who wants to force
people to obey you, and you really don't care at all how many people
die so that you can get what you want.

As I've said several times, at least once in reply to you, I spend
about $10 per year on anti-abortion causes and over $1000 per year on
charity to help just such unfortunate souls as the ones you describe
next:

> children are starving for want of $1 per day worth of food and clean

How much do YOU contribute to charity each year, you who once said, "I
don't give a shit about women" and later lied through your teeth about
the context in which you said it?

> The TRUTH is that

you are a pathological liar, Ray, as I've demonstrated many times, as

Until recently all those aborted souls never went to heaven, now they don't
even talk about limbo.
Until recently all the bad ones went to a hell of fire and brimstone, now
they talk about it being absent from God.
What was absolute truth in the past is not talked about anymore.

About 140 years ago the pope was *not* infallible. This doctrine was defined
dogmatically in the First Vatican Council of 1870.
Basically he is infallible because he said so.

The big lie continues to work.

More than I demand of others, hypocrite. You, on the other hand, are

Oh, get the fuck over yourself, fauxNy. The only reason there is an
"all souls" deal is because of Europagans. IOW, synchrotism happens,
and the Church simply modified and tried to take over the aboriginal
beliefs because that was the only way they could get converts.

As with christmas. Martin Luther had y'all pegged.

Nope, he is 100% correct. You should know that you are not going to
get away with trying to revise history to suit your views. Just like
the common christer view 50 - 100 years ago was the same as the Hebrew
Torrah, that souls joined the body at the time of birth. Since the
abortion issue, christers started saying that the soul joined the body
at conception. christers have always changed their views to suit
their politics.

Well, duh, I was hoping some more reasonable atheists (also agnostics)
who appreciate the cultural side of things would give a more reasoned
side to the subject even while advancing their own POV.

Did you catch the implicit agnosticism in what I wrote, using the word
"hope" rather than "faith" or "belief" at critical junctions? [Ray
deleted those, so he could pretend I subscribed to the words of
triumph in the passage from Wisdom, and the prayer, rather than them
only describing what I *hope* is true.


I can really appreciate the agnosticism and skepticism of Fitzgerald's
_The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam_, for example; during long stretches of
my life it corresponded much more closely to where I was at, than the
words I quoted form the Book of Wisdom.

I see you subscribe to the old chestnut that man made the gods in his
own image. Trouble is, that is cribbed from an ancient Greek author
who was referring to gods that really WERE made in man's image.

[I sometimes joke that if doves made God in their own image, they
would picture the Holy Spirit in the form of a human.]

Exactly, and in the words Ray deleted, I explained EXACTLY the reasons
why I *can* bear it, namely the hope I have that death isn't the end
of everything.

In contrast, Ray gave NO figures below on how much he contributes.

In other words, you could be contributing $1 per year while only

blatantly dishonest and hypocritical misdirection as in your screeds
above.

You don't understand - giving these bigoted, in-your-face, idiots
the response their aggressive stupidity deserves, is unprovoked
"hatred and dishonesty" in their sociopathic wordl view.

They don't understand the difference between their action and a
reaction which wouldn't even have happened.

Nor do they understand that unlike them we are not commanded to turn

Well, if you are representative of the participants in a.a. these
days, there's been a huge sea-change in the group since the early
90's. Back then, there were lots of thoughtful atheists around. I
even recall a classification of atheists, one of which was that of a
"soft atheist". I can't recall the exact definition, but it was
something like an agnostic who simply orders his life as though there
were no supernatural.

> Why did you send it to us in the first place? We don't care about your

Who is "we?" Do you speak for all regulars in the newsgroup now? I've
met lots of atheists who have a decent respect for the faith of
Christians, especially the belief and/or hope in a life after death
which is what my post mostly had to do with.

Are you really happy with the idea that billions of people have died
under the most miserable circumstances, never having had the comforts
and joys that we have, and that misery was the sum total of their
experiences?

Or do you shut the idea out of your mind and act like the people
described by Mark Shea in today's _Catholic Exchange_?

-------------- begin excerpt
The world is all about trying to keep its life. So it prattles on as
though you and I are not going to die but live forever in a sort of
eternal dream of the Pepsi Generation. This is worldly hope and it
leads inevitably to worldly despair. That’s what is fueling the
present movement toward euthanasia. A post-Christian culture that
gives up on God inevitably gives up on real hope. The world says, “If
I can’t have eternal Pepsi Generation happiness then, by golly, I’m
going to assert my power one last time and end it all on my terms!”
That’s despair as old and weary as Adam.

note how the person posting as peter nyikos completely ignores the fact
that several a.a. regulars said more or less the same thing to him and
then presumes to tell those readers what "he/she" thinks they should
read.

Because you're a coldhearted hypocrite whose real agenda is the
subjugation of women. Like more insane religious lunatics you think
that any crime is justified by the prospect of heaven.

Then why are you anti-abortion?

Notice that fauxNy thinks it's fine for HIM to let people die so long
as he makes his token payment. After all, he pays $1000 so it's okay
for him to demand that people give up their lives.

But I don't demand that anybody give. I'm not a sleazebag hypocrite

lives while callously letting them die.

YOU don't even respect your religion, fauxNy. You're just an arrogant
hypocrite who prays on the street corners so that you might earn the
respect of others. If you do know what Jesus taught then you
certainly don't care to be bothered to follow His teachings.

And people like you, who post nonsensical garbage about your insipid
superstitions, are the *very* reason for that change.

The "classification" is "strong atheist" (i.e., "I think gods do not
exist") and "weak atheism" (i.e., "there may be gods, I've just not
seen any evidence for them"). This group was actually created for
those of us who actually *are* atheists to discuss such differences,
and also to discuss the difficulties of living as free people within
societies full of the slaves of supernaturalism.

Also, there is a *reason* there are two separate groups for atheism
and agnostics. Those are actually two very different topics. Atheism
is the topic of "existence", agnosticism is the topic of "knowledge".
Personally, I consider the agnostic position as a flimsy one, since
the very question of "knowledge" of gods is a version of special
pleading for the concept in the first place.

No, I don't. But I'll betcha I come pretty close to expressing their

You must be living in Europe. Those of us who live in countries where
the "believers" in Christian mythology still threatens people's hopes
for building a truly modern human society have no such "respect" for
your insipid death cult.

> especially the belief and/or hope in a life after death

A "life after death"? Your delusions are *your* problem, not mine.
Quit whining about my lack of respect for your idiocy. Or, as an
alternative...prove that an "afterlife" actually exists in the first
place. Your Nobel Prize awaits you.

No, I am not. Especially since even a casual observation of
superstition should show that it's often the substitute for their
powerlessness to take action against the various social situations
that cause their misery.

ROFL! The addicted druggie spouts garbage about why it's so cool to
keep using the drug. And does so, by framing his desire to keep
mainlining that shit with "popular culture" references!

Did you *really* think that pathetic garbage would lead anyone who
knows what kind of poison religion actually is to reconsider their
stance on your idiocy? Presupposition that your moronic superstion is
"true". Presupposition that anyone who hasn't been exposed to it
actually gives a shit about it. Presupposition that people free from
that nonsense should "respect" it any more than they "respect" the
notion that seals play Frisbee Golf on Ganymede, or that the Brooklyn
Bridge was built by UFOs.

If you *really* think there's no difference between these different
concepts, you're dumber than even *I* thought you were.

Wrong on both counts. Limbo was a guess as to the eternal future of the infants
that died without baptism. Therefore neither heaven nor hell is a valid
assumption.

Prepare for a shocker: the Oxford English Dictionary lists, as the
first meaning of "child," a meaning that explicitly includes unborn
human beings, and even lists "foetus" as one of the synonyms. The
Merriam-Webster Collegiate dictionary does the same, except that the
word that should shock you is spelled "fetus".

The real shocker, for you, is that neither definition is labeled
"obsolete" or even "archaic."

> >who are aborted each year, including tens of thousands

>
> A fetus is not a child

False, see above.

>ant viability is irrelevant.

Even Ray Fischer recognizes it as relevant. And the reason it is
relevant is that if the woman wants to terminate the pregnancy after
the fetus becomes viable, she can do it by having labor induced, and
then it is not even an abortion but a (usually premature) live birth.

And, usually, the induction of labor method is at least as safe as the
other methods, one of which is described below and called "D&E",
variously expanded as "dilation and evacuation" and (more accurately)
as "dismemberment and evacuation."

You are missing the point. In the prayer, the way I mean it, is
implicit the conditional, "if a merciful entity named Jesus can hear
this and can do it, ..." and if you hadn't deleted so much, it would
be clear that it is included.

[Actually the historical figure was called something like Yeshua, but
saying "Jesu" or "Jesus" is like calling me Pedro or Piotr instead
of Peter--I don't mind it at all, I'll answer to it.]

What do you, a stalker from way back, mean by saying "might"? The
merest neophyte at using Google or Yahoo internet searches can find
the website for the Department of Mathematics at the University of
South Carolina, and click on "Departmental Directory," and find my
name and e-mail address listed under Faculty.

You certainly have been earning the nickname "Chief Idiot" lately. I
found it especially hilarious how you didn't even recognize something
Boo Radley posted as satire--even though it was the kind of satire you
would indulge in, if you had more upstairs.

Was Spartakus telling everyone a tall tale by saying that you could
figure out his location within one second of an arc of the earth's
circumference, both latitude and longitude, just by the information in
the headers of Spartakus's posts?

I happened to agree with a lot of atheists, back when I was within a
hair's breadth of becoming one. I admit, the All Souls Day special
wasn't the most diplomatic thing to crosspost there, but I've been
involved in LOTS of crossposts to a.atheism in the past year, and no
one batted an eye until now.

There are lots of versions of atheism, some of them deserving of great
respect . [Even Chesterton agreed in the midst of a brilliant essay
explaining why he was a Christian.] But Ray's version is both
mindless and heartless.

On the contrary, it is you whose grasp of atheism is slipping away,
Chief Idiot. How else to explain the following post?

Note how it was crossposted to alt.atheism and how, even though you
and Boo Radley are kindred spirits where Christianity is concerned,
even he agreed that you were dumb enough to miss the point of his
satire.

Here a.a. obviously means alt.atheism, but the Chief Idiot was
apparently too dumb to pick up on that:

The only alt.abotion posters still around who got slapped silly (in
talk.abortion, twit: alt.abortion was in an embryonic state back then)
in the 1990's were Keegan and Fischer, slapping each other silly and
being slapped silly by the allies of the other one, especially Keegan.

The one who slapped Keegan silliest was Larry Margolis. Keegan
persisted in what I call The Mother of All Flamewars, destroying his
credibility by denouncing something as a forgery in hundreds if not
thousands of posts, when in reality it was taken right out of a post
by Keegan, and identified as such, with a message-ID posted by
Margolis in all his .sigs for quite a while.

Here is that message-id: 2ct2o5$b...@usenet.rpi.edu
With the knowledge that the three symbols before the @ are b36, anyone
who knows how to use Google Advanced Search can look up that post.

Even Chief Idiot Humphrey, who up to then had been a staunch ally of
both, was disgusted over how Keegan and Margolis were behaving like a
pair of children, flaming each other back and forth over an utter
triviality, ignoring posters who were so tired of it all that they
posted threads with titles like, "Keegan, take the fucking bet!" and
"Larry, post the fucking article!"

Evidently Keegan had no clue as to what to do with the message-id, and
he now has a protege, IAAH, who keeps demanding message-ids but I
suspect he has no more idea what to do with them than Keegan did back
then.

"elizabeth"s morality and almost everything else is relationship-
oriented. Trying to get a point about unborn babies across, to the
abortion newsgroups, and about Christians in general and Catholics in
particular across to the other three newsgroups, somehow is perceived
by her mentality as some sort of an ego-trip by me:

"elizabeth" has been reading boilerplate propaganda about Christian
holidays. Even Wikipedia could have made it clear that the situation
is a lot more complicated than 'e seems to think.

Also, "elizabeth" is so enamored of boilerplate abortion-rights
propaganda that 'e simply concludes that Medline and Medicinenet HAVE
to be wrong about the uses of the word "baby" to denote a fetus:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/MEDLINEPLUS/ency/article/002398.htm
http://www.medicinenet.com/pregnancy/page2.htm#1j

"elizabeth" has, accordingly earned a berth in:

THE INCORRIGIBLES

These are posters who keep repeating falsehoods or foolish assertions
as though they were truisms or obvious conclusions to draw, despite
massive
volumes of posts, including follow-ups to their own posts,
that refute or at least seriously undermine what they say.

"elizabeth" Ray Fischer James G. Keegan, Jr.
"Spartakus" Patrick "The Chief I..." Humphrey

Promising candidates include "J Young," Galen Hekhuis, Gwen Bennett
and Craig Chilton, *inter alia*

Even more propagandistic than the first statement.

> Did you mean "synchrotron"

'e meant "syncretism," but there is no syncretism involved in
modifying mere custom. The Catholic Church was at its best when not
modifying nonessentials of other religions. For instance, the Jesuits
were doing well in China when the Franciscans and Dominicans butted in
and wanted to do away with all ceremonies honoring ancestors, on the
grounds that they were pagan practices.

The Jesuits argued that there was nothing in Christian doctrine that
forbade those particular ceremonies, but the Dominicans and
Franciscans prevailed, to the great detriment of Catholic missions in
China.

> >As with christmas. Martin Luther had y'all pegged.

> What did lute say?

I'm curious about that, myself. The legend that he initiated the
custom of Christmas trees is almost surely false, and there is severe
skepticism about him being the composer of "Away in a manger" (German
version) but even so, I wonder what "elizabeth" had in mind here.

See my own follow-up to Duke. Neither he nor they are 100% right or
wrong.

100% wrong where the Roman Catholic Church is concerned. There was
some dispute about ensoulement in the Middle Ages, but the most common
view among RC theologians is that it happens at conception. Certainly
the official dogma is that it one must err on the side of caution and
behave as though it did happen at conception.

Abortion was an issue from the earliest days of the Way. Several
Church Fathers wrote about it, saying it is a terrible sin and that
Christians just did not do it.

What is YOUR source for this boilerplate propaganda?

I'm surprised, by the way, to see you talk like this. You and Osprey
seemed to be on good terms back in July, and he certainly does not
think like this.

Hey, listen, if you don't like talking about the things I wrote about,
I can understand that. When I lost my faith, aged 23, in the
caricature of what I believe the Catholic Church to represent, I would
have been very impatient with almost anyone exhibiting even that much
hope. I was mostlly interested in talking about what I call the
Achilles' Heel of Christianity, the belief that Hell is a place of
everlasting torment where many unfortunate souls go.

My current view of Hell is very different from that, and I think most
sophisticated Christians either share it or disbelieve in Hell
altogether. The latter view, however, is so much at odds with the New
Testament that I don't think it is compatible with a long-term hope in
the existence of heaven.

I saw the film, "Demetrius and the Gladiators" when still a teenager,
and if I ever did NOT understand that, I have understood it ever
since.

On the other hand, it was only after I turned 30 that I came to find
out what "turning the other cheek" really means.

Say...are you the same Jimbo who had a nice online chat with Osprey
this summer? I even sent you an e-mail to someone calling himself
Jimbo, but never got a reply.

Does your laughing smiley mean that you mean what you say, and are
laughing at me?
If so, I wouldn't in my wildest dreams have imagined that that Jimbo
would subscribe to such an infantile stereotype of someone about whom
he knew next to nothing.

If not, please disregard that last sentence and explain what the
smiley signifies.

Because putdowns are simple and any idiot can do them, especially when
the supposed putdown is a lie from the start. They also serve as a
distraction from the fact that you have nothing to support your
claims, not that the distraction actually works.

If you want to be perceived as intelligent, you have to present
yourself as being intelligent. That means refraining from constant
and gratuitous insults, especially when that is the only thing in your
post. It means actually trying to support your claims in an
intelligent, logical, and reasoned manner. It means supporting your
claims with independent and objective sources. It means taking the
time to explain your claims fully and completely, which means more
than one sentence statements. It means not expecting people to accept
your claims just because you make them, nor does it mean expecting
that others will accept your opinions just because you subscribe them
to your deity.

Currently, you are not perceived as being very intelligent because you
do not present yourself as being intelligent. That is why nobody
believes your claims that you are the intellectual superior of anyone.

No, you do not. People have asked you to do so many, many times, and
you refuse to do so.

You make stupid statements all the time. Your posts are generally
filled with them, even when you are shown that the statement is stupid
and you are completely wrong.

An example of you making stupid statements using one that you have
made many times: You have claimed that there is only one deity,
yours. This is a stupid statement since is it trivial to show that
there are thousands of deities in existence which have just as much
objective evidence supporting their existence as yours does, i.e. the
writings of believers and nothing else. And you have been shown this
many, many times.

You have also claimed that the existence of your deity is the "default
position" in a debate because you made the claim, even when you can be
shown that this is NEVER the "default position" for this time of
logical argument/debate and that this is a classic example of the
logical fallacy of shifting the burden of proof. It is the person
that claims that something exists who has the responsibility of
supporting their claim that it exists

I have a "decent respect for the faith of" decent Christians, but around here we

I must admit, I'm a little different. There are individual Christians
I know who are decent, intelligent people. Which actually makes me
hate their virus a little more. I respect *them*, but not their faith.
I see them struggle with the pain and uncertainty, and curse their
parents for ever pouring that shit into their heads.

Now, why can't more people say such things to Ray Fischer and Patrick
Humphrey and James Keegan? They are at least as guilty of this
behavior as Duke.

It seems to work for Fischer and Humphrey and Keeagn, because they are
backed up by other members of their cozy clique (including "Spartakus"
that dominates talk.abortion by sheer weight of numbers.

Ah,there's the ticket: none of the three I mention gives a fig about
being perceived as intelligent by objective observers, although
they'll swap gossippy messages putting others down to make it look
like they think they are intelligent.

The trio I've named knows these things, but they think they have a
better thing going.

For "deity" substitute "other members of the cozy clique" where the
above three are concerned.

Are you still repeating this tired old never-supported claim? It was
already old when Ralph Taite posted the following over 13 years ago:

Did you have any idea that you were lying when you wrote:

"do you think readers forget that margolis got caught forging that
quote
and lost his net access as the result of that forgery?"

I suppose if you claim that you were just mistaken, some might
forgive this lie, but that leaves the other 999,999 other ones to deal
with.

By the way, the Garvin link no longer works, but the message-ID Taite

to provide those if clicking on the blue line below them doesn't work.

See Mark Sebring's astute observations about insults and my reply to
him. Margolis actually posted once, months after you first started
making that tired old claim, to let people know it was false. But
since he didn't pop in every time you repeated your unsupported claim,
you figured you could get away with it.

> i'm more amused that you offered no support for your remarks.

I gave a message-id, twit, and I can back up what I say. You are just
trying to goad me into doing 1,000+ line posts that nobody will take
the trouble to read.

I will back up what I say, though, in good time, in readable
installments. Can you say ANY of the same for yourself?

Repeating unsupported claims is not the same as supporting them. Just
ask Mark Sebree. [I may have misspelled his name in my reply to
Keegan, and if so I apologize.]

The Torah never comes out and says what you say it does, it says life
is in the blood, and it also talks about the children in Rebekah's
womb, Esau and Jacob, struggling with each other.

I do believe that you got confused and took the account of Adam's
creation to be definitive in respect of first breath for all humans,
but then why don't you say that the Torah says all children are molded
from the dust of the earth?

As for MY claim, I can point to encyclicals and other documents that
confirm what I wrote. Do you have any sources to support your claim
besides this one passage from Genesis 2?

"Female" is not "woman", pro-liar idiot.
