Plans and a Comic

Well, my blog's been in limbo for a long time. I'm once again thinking about attempting a revival, though I'll probably set a more modest goal and work up from there: One post a week, but it won't be here. It'll be a WordPress blog, and the URL will probably be more accurate (Edit: It's http://thebronzeblog.wordpress.com/ ), rather than this old holdover from Ryan's days. I'll be doing some rewrites of Doggerel, applying what I've learned over my time as a blogger and commentator. I'll probably recruit my brother to handle the coding and layout.

On politics, I felt the need to share a comic about an executive trend I continue to be outraged about, regardless of who's in office.

I have found what few other human mortals on this playing field have yet to discover: a Way Home, past this violence and materialism that has so engulfed, so enveloped our populace on this journey to our demise; because you’re ignorant on how to rise above the whorizontal world and one-outta-one shall croak sometime, somewhere soon, God has set-up this magnificent feature on the Way either Upstairs or downtown: the Warning. Everyone (me, too) living on this planet will see and feel the Warning lasting about 20ish minutes, showing U.S. a gorgeous picture of Heaven, Purgatory (depending whether our sins demand a greater punishment before being allowed into the Great Beyond), and dagnasty Hell. Remember, God doesn’t condemn; we condemn ourselves by our sinful lifestyles of unbelief. The Warning’s just a wake-up call. Don’t believe me? Guhroovy. You will soon. God bless you with discernment: atheism is cool, isn't it, till you croak...

There's a phantom comment that's currently not showing on the post itself, but shows up on the 'leave your comment' screen, so if you don't see it, don't worry, I doubt you're missing anything.

Kold:

1. What's "sinful" about lacking belief in something with no evidence to back it up?

2. I don't take bribes. I don't cave into threats. Even if I believed in the absurdities of heaven and hell, they simply lack the coercive power you wish they did. Your god is blatantly evil, and even if I did believe in he existed, there's no way I can imagine intentionally siding with such evil short of mind control.

3. You are a hedonist who only values personal pleasure, no matter how much it costs the people around you. The only thing that separates you from the normal kind is that you're deferring gratification.

Christ, not this shit again. Why do religious fundamentalists think an atheist blog is a good place to find converts? Most of us are already familiar with the Bible and its claims. Why do you think we became atheists in the first place?

JJR said...

One of the biggest disappointments with Obama is not only the failure to dismantle all the terrifying, unconstitutional covert police state apparatus built by the Bush administration, but to continue and quietly expand it.

The so-called "War on Drugs" was bad enough for the cause of Civil Liberties, but the "War on Terror" has been countless times worse.

Bronze Dog said...

From what I've seen, the two have merged: a lot of the alleged anti-terror measures are being used primarily for enforcing anti-drug laws.

That comic puts the point very well, but if I must criticize that comic in one respect, I just don't find it funny. I mean it's a well written point, and it would be all well and good if it wasn't also apparent, from the weird animal people, that I was also supposed to laugh. I just don't see the joke in most of those "Modern World" comics.

Ian: They assume we're as ignorant of religion as they are of science and skepticism.

you can thank RANDI

now for some SYMBOLIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS!


on the TIMELINE

0 min 33 sec - Randi in the RED SHIRT - signifying the *bl..dy deed* that is about to happen

1min 18 sec - Banachek talks about respect for the claimant and then they mock "these kind" of people in the final part

3 min 20 sec - the test of the power bracelet that increases a person's energy and balance. Notice our challenge is all about POWER & BALANCE, proving the existence of a HIGHER POWER

5 min 15 sec TEST BEGINS. Skeptics one by one stand in CRUCIFIXION POSE

1 hr 10 min 21 sec Test is ended in failure

1 hr 10 min 30 sec request is made to make change in the PROTOCOL

1 hr 10 min 51 sec Applause is made by all those who wanted him to fail from the very beginning

1 hr 25 min 39 sec Now they talk about the Nightline clip that was filmed in Manhattan, also the scene of the 9/11 event

1hr 28 min 42 sec - They talk about make-shift tests. They think that because no one can win the prize that psychic phenomena does not exist

1 hr 29 min 45 sec Banachek says "the majority of *these* people.'" A contemptuous reference that occurs repeatedly

1 hr 31 min 53 sec The reference to envelopes. Remember the 911 in Angel's envelope!

1 hr 37 min 11 sec Swiss says he is not worried about a paranormal event happening. Little does he know what is actually taking place

1 hr 39 min 50 sec The mocking of SPIRITS!

1 hr 40 min 27 sec Reference made to the TERROR of witnessing a supernatural event, i.e, the blood leaving the face

1 hr 41 min 15 sec Reference to "these people"

1 hr 41 min 40 sec Belief in the supernatural is claimed to be a psychological defence mechanism to cope with reality. Swiss talks about how desperate the psychics become when debunked. Little does he know what is happening to the skeptics!

1 hr 42 min 11 sec WHEN PROPHECY SUCCEEDS! KABOOM

Hey, Dennis Markuzi, I've moved my blogging to WordPress. Try reading the post. Of course, if you do decide to post on the new blog, read the comment policy. Copypasta won't cut it, so try talking like a human being and have a conversation instead of protecting yourself from the realities of atheism and skepticism with the one-way shouting of a spambot.

Bronze Dog said...

You need another round of psychological help, Dennis Markuze. (Like I'd believe you have fans.)

Hi All,

THE MAYAN SKEPTIC APOCALYPSE 12/21/2012

1. Still wrong blog. I've moved.
2. Hi, Dennis.
3. You do realize the alleged Mayan Apocalypse was ten days ago, right?

1. Thanks for noticing the new blog. Not getting that that comment out of moderation, since we both know you're afraid of having a conversation like a human being, preferring cowardly spam and run tactics. Nothing there worth the page space, especially since you intended to post blatantly off-topic.

2. You're barking up the wrong tree if you think Tim Farley has anything to do with me. He's left a very bad impression on me and my blog friends. He certainly doesn't act like a skeptic from what I've seen.

3. Do I detect misogyny with the childish balls comment?

4. Homosexuality and atheism aren't inherently related. We do have common ground in that we're minorities subject to religiously inspired bigotry like yours, so we typically have sympathy towards one another like emotionally healthy human beings would. Neither attribute is something to be ashamed of.

5. You can't win the JREF prize if you're too chicken to fill out an application.
