Nothing To See Here
August 20, 2012 - 5:37 am - by Andrew Klavan
pjmedia.com
There’s nothing to write about this week as no one shot anyone for any
politically motivated reason at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of
the Family Research Council, a group that is obviously hateful for
promoting traditional views of marriage and so couldn’t be the victim
of a hate crime in the first place because they’re so hateful any hate
would logically have to be coming from them and not from the person
who shot them.
According to the Media Research Center, CBS News did not even bother
to report the non-shooting at FRC that did not leave the building
manager wounded when a man who was not carrying fifteen Chick-fil-A
sandwiches in a backpack did not say “I don’t like your politics,”
before not opening fire on the unarmed victim. Since the event never
occurred, NBC’s Brian Williams was able to cover it in a mere 17
seconds. And one day after the shooting never happened, CNN anchor
Zoraida Sambolin clarified the motivation of the non-existent event by
proclaiming that FRC was “hate spewing hate,” so there was no question
from which side of the gun barrel the hatred was emanating.
It’s clear therefore that the non-shooter, Floyd Corkins, was not
motivated by any of the never overblown and thoroughly non-despicable
non-overreactions to Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy‘s recent defense
of traditional marriage. The gunman was only carrying those fifteen
sandwiches because they are just. So. Unbelievably. Tasty!
Nor was the non-hate-crazed non-gunman inspired by the left-wing
Southern Poverty Law Center, which has included the Family Research
Council on a list of hate groups along with neo-Nazis and the Klan.
It would, of course, have been impossible for a gunman to have been
inspired by left-wing hatred because left-wing people are loving and
don’t hate anyone except those people who disagree with them who are
hateful because the left is so loving that to oppose them is hateful.
If you get my drift.
In other non-news, Vice President Joe Gaffe did not make any bidens
this week, or vice versa. The lack of blithering foolishness from
Biden confirmed that those who supported Sarah Palin for vice
president remain stupid. If Biden had, for instance, made wildly
offensive remarks about black people in a mock southern accent, or
indicated he didn’t know which state he was in, or ridiculed a woman
translating one of his rambling speeches into sign language, then, of
course, America’s comedians would have been on the job making jokes
about him. Instead, our comedians were silent on the matter because
they didn’t want to imply that Joe Biden is an idiot, since that’s
impossible because he’s not Sarah Palin. Who is obviously an idiot
because she don’t forget to find out why Sarah Palin is bad and fill
in the rest of this sentence later.
Fortunately such relatively minor non-stories as a man not inspired by
hateful leftist rhetoric not shooting an unarmed man or Joe Biden not
proving that Sarah Palin has more brains in her lipstick canister than
he has in his head, were not there to obscure the fact that the Gross
Domestic Product has been steadily falling, a major indicator that the
Obama economy is an epic fail. Which is not happening either, since
the networks went for six months without saying a word about it.
So we can just move along to something more important. Like Paul
Ryan’s abs. Which, believe me, are happening!

It is not surprising that the left has made the FRC shooting a non-story,

since there is no way to put the proper spin on it to call for stricter
gun control.
Our resident leftarded trolls, who normally screech about other
shootings, have remained unusually silent about this incident. Not a
single one has started a thread about it, and the few who have replied to
other threads seem to be justifying the shooting on the grounds that the
guy was "provoked" by FRC's "hate speech."
Mind you, I don't support FRC at all -- just a bunch of theofascists with
Jebus up their asses. Still, they have the same right to free speech as
everyone else. I think the shooter's statement, "I don't like your
politics," tells us everything we need to know about the left. Ask
yourself if you would feel safe surrendering your weapons to them.

everything was created at once. They propose that the fossil record is a
result of the Flood. The details of how this worked and how humans
survived with the animals for the 371 days of the flood are vague. To
explain the order creationists say that animals living at the lowest
level are found buried there. Marine invertebrates at the bottom, fish
at higher level, reptiles higher at primitive water ground level, and
mammals and birds higher. Fossils of extinct species are those of
animals that God did not want placed on the ark.

If God interacts with our universe in any way, the effects of
his interaction must have some physical manifestation. Hence
his interaction with our universe must be in principle detectable.
If God is essentially nondetectable, it must therefore be the
case that he does not interact with our universe in any way.
Many atheists would argue that if God does not interact with our
universe at all, it is of no importance whether he exists or not.
A thing which cannot even be detected in principle does not
logically exist.
Of course, it could be that God is detectable in principle, and
that we merely cannot detect him in practice. However, if the Bible
is to be believed, God was easily detectable by the Israelites.
Surely he should still be detectable today? Why has the situation
changed?
Note that I am not demanding that God interact in a scientifically
verifiable, physical way. I might potentially receive some revelation,
some direct experience of God. An experience like that would be
incommunicable, and not subject to scientific verification--but it
would nevertheless be as compelling as any evidence can be.
But whether by direct revelation or by observation, it must surely
be possible to perceive some effect caused by God's presence; otherwise,
how can I distinguish him from all the other things that don't exist?

Basic atheism is not a belief. It is the lack of belief.

There is a difference between believing there is no god
and not believing there is a god--both are atheistic,
though popular usage has ignored the latter.
