It must be evil
And all the roads jam up with credit
And there’s nothing you can do
It’s all just pieces of paper flying away from you
Oh look out world, take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain’t no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell
Chris Rea – The Road To Hell
I’m told the world is dying. Humanities population has grown to plague proportions. We are a virus on mother earth, our emissions will change the climate. Our numbers will lead to plague, famine and war. Nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons are a doom waiting to happen. All these things have something in common.
Science
Without it, our numbers would be far lower, our population could never have expand to the levels we see now. Science has given us over population. Because of science the population will grow far higher, before those oh so modern weapons, the world of science has given us, find a good use.
In the name of science we have gathered information on the effects of syphilis from start to finish. Injecting those “lessor humans” with syphilis. Then recording their slow painful deaths. And the hypothermia experiments done at Dachau, those were very informative. As was all the fine work in human anatomy, done at the University of Vienna. Those 1,377 very fresh bodied supplied by the Gestapo made that all possible. It is so hard to find a good supply of perfectly healthy bodies (of children) to work on.
But I suppose that was all “bad science”. No true Scotsman
Am I being unfair when I blame everything on science?
In an efforts not to set anyone off in the wrong direction. This is satire, a rough parody of many of the anti Christian essays I have read around here and elsewhere.

This actually reminds me of what’s going on on Torchwood: Miracle Day right now. Engineer an event where literally no one can die and begin to reap the benefits when people seek your medications to cope with the pain.
Excellent satire but deceptive in its conception.
@Aloysius_son - Really… explain?
@trunthepaige - Blaming science for the downfall of mankind is as inaccurate as blaming religion for the dark ages. It is not the subject that causes the effect, but man’s egoist lust for power and control. Science and religion are merely tools. We are the responsible craftsman.
Just think of all the problems we know about since we ate the forbidden fruit. Prior to that, we lived to die and that was it. THe Amish agree with us here: science is from the devil.
LOL – I’m joking.
@Aloysius_son - it’s when science becomes political that it becomes corrupted.
@Aloysius_son - Exactly my point I see what you mean. Yes the deceit was intentional and I think common in a lot of none satire
@Colorsofthenight - LOL…. you had me for a while
@Colorsofthenight - Science in the hand of farmers becomes food. Science in the hands of generals becomes bombs. Religion in the hands of saints becomes faith. Religion in the hands of dictators becomes oppression.
The most important thing we each must accept is that these thing also are in our hands. How shall we use them?
@Aloysius_son - it takes a world. We need those bombs to find resources and prevent natural disasters’ waters from reaching us. One man’s fear is another’s cheer.
I don’t think it is science’s fault. It is just the way people are. We tend to be greedy selfish creatures a lot of the time.
Thanks for setting me straight on the parody.
I never saw an anti-Christian post here on Xanga that wasn’t 100% bigotry so I just flush them from memory.
@Garistotle - I think I need to watch Torchwood
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - The woman you were arguing with so vociferously a while ago did an entry on why would a just god allowed evil and pain. Well done not hateful. Wrong but not hateful it happens. But then like almost all atheists who are not nuts, she rarely writes about things she does not believe in
@trunthepaige - What lady are you referring to? I forgot.
Also, asking questions about God isn’t anti-Christian, it’s philosophy and theology.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - I agree that was why it was not hateful and worth reading. I am not good with xanag names I will get back to you on that
@trunthepaige - Was it twiggy from Canada?
I often make arguments that don’t sound like this, you just don’t comment on those posts.
Science gave you your home, your car, your job, your food and drink, your entertainment, and your health.
Do without all that stuff and then you can complain about science.
Meanwhile you’re just a hypocrite.
@GodlessLiberal - I have not been commenting on many anywhere. I admit I have only been picking on your worst and not your best. To that I am guilty and sorry. It is mostly about a lack of time and energy. The upside is that I actually read your blog I have not been reading many others
@Da__Vinci - Did you even bother to read until the end? It was a very short entry I would think you could have finished it
Hint read the part in read letters
@Colorsofthenight - prior to us eating the forbidden fruit, we were to live forever, not die.
@SilverBird_Loves - i always figured that meant that man didn’t know he died because he didn’t even know he was naked. I know that we were cast out of the garden of eden and lost immortality, but I figured it was figurative.
@trunthepaige - My hubby and I watched Torchwood because it was a tangent show off of Doctor Who. There is a LOT more sexually themes stuff in Torchwood. I think it got in the way quite a bit, lol.
@Aloysius_son - Yup, exactly.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - Yes
LOL Good one.
@trunthepaige - I finally had to block her for trolling and being abusive.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - That is not her normal nature but I’m told skull boy is not always a jerk so yeah
@trunthepaige - She’s been a hateful bigot for as long as I have known her. So has @Godlessliberal.
I don’t understand why you give all these people a pass.
Krisko banned me because he got tired of having to defend his terrible disrespect for Christians. 100% of his posts concerning Christianity are bigoted in some manner or other.
Of course, he’ll deny it. but that’s because bigots totally justify their behavior as being totally righteous.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - I have known him a long time (far longer than that xanga) and her I’m friendly with her. Not going to say you are wrong, just that they both have another side to them. Godless can really be bad, but he takes me calling him on it well
@trunthepaige - He gives you a pass because you’re ineffective. You, bakersdozen and the rest always accept the atheists’ first premise.
Their first premise is always wrong. So when you accept their first premise you are on their ground doing things their way.
What’s not for them to love about that?
He went ballistic after he read my 3 sentence proof showing that atheism is a faith-based belief. And he banded me after I boiled the proof down to 1 sentence.
He called me a horrible excuse for a human being. How to reason isn’t taught anymore and few people know how to use it.
But reason is to atheists what a cross is to vampires.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - He gives me a pass because I have handed him his ass in his own field using his own methods. I have made him admit that if his past faith was delusional then he may very still be be delusional. I have been quite for the last 2 years but there a reason these people are afraid to argue with me. hat reason is not pity. But the hard core I have no effect on them one one does. And yes I have changed minds. Or better put I planted the seeds that God used
oh, satire, love satire, LOL. glad you told us!
@trunthepaige - If you had handed Krisko his ass, he would have banned you.
@Diva_Jyoti_3 - I still had one guy defending science. It could be that he cant see red
@trunthepaige - LOL yeah, plenty of men are color blind.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - Nope back them he was less popular and well we have a history. Sometimes respecting a person gives you leeway other times it doesn’t help
@trunthepaige - Why do you think he’s so popular now?
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - He has been here a long time and compared to all the other atheists on xanga he is the only one with a sense of humor. Not as bitter and seems sane. And he really does know something about evolutionary biology. The rest just parrot away in ignorance on the subject play the expert. I have actually needed to look up his sources a spend time o it to refute him. The rest I can do it off the top of my head
I think you made a good point with this.
@trunthepaige - (I feel like I’m eavesdropping, but since this is a public forum….)
I don’t think I wrote a post specifically on why God allows evil, but I did write a post on the Origins of Satan and I asked a question along the lines of “If God is omnipotent, why would he create Satan knowing full well that Satan was going to rebel against God?”
However, it’s not a bad topic to write and ask questions about. Ancient_Scribe posted a few great comments on the Satan post though.
@tgwiy - I liked it
well… considering many claim that science is omnipotent… i don’t think it’s wrong to bash the one trump card many wave in our faces… forgetting science has holes in it in which will only allow it to be verified by certain steps…
I recall someone telling me to prove something scientifically and yet failed to recognize the notion of the scientific method… and what he was telling me to prove was not verifiable via the scientific method… that totally skipped his mind… should’ve seen the look on his face… priceless…
@trunthepaige - Thanks
