Tylle's thoughts

I need a laptop for my school work. So I invested in a new Sony Vaio with a fullHD screen, it looked good and seemed as good quality.

After spending several hours getting the machine up-to-date with the newest software and updates, I found out that the M key on the keyboard was broken.

Darn it.

I went to the store next time, and it was sent fo repairs.

I got a temporary replacement, but of inferior quality. An Acer Aspire 7738G.

The keyboard is driving me nuts, I am typing on it to make this blog entry. The keys are way too plastic like and I have to be precise to actually have the keyboard register anything.

Blah, lets hope the repair shop can fix that one key fast, before this keyboard has driven me nuts.

I only had the Sony machine for less than a day, but I already miss it.

This is looking promising. I want to test out the possibilites of blogging on my iPhone and also be able to update more frequently.
I am going to make a video soon about the Danish creationist from OplevJesus, Torben Søndergaard. His idea about evolution, hehe, which is so far out it is funny.
Take care

Supposely there was a Jewish guy roughly 2000 years ago that went about spreading love and hope among his people. Telling them that everything was going to be alright that all they had to do was just let God work out his “plan”. His father, the guy is ofcourse Jesus the anointed one, or Messiah as he is also known as.

Is that not a beautiful thought that there is a loving and all knowing being that take cares of you. When you are in a world of shit there is a bright light that shines through the clouds and engulfs you in a warm and fuzzy feeling of comfort.

But then minutes later, the clouds passes by, the light is gone and you open your eyes and you’re still in a world of shit. Your mind starts to work out the possible scenarios of why your omnipotent being had not helped you. Was it not a part of his plan? Is it a test? Or even worse! Did you SIN?!?

You start to work out a plan on how to satisfy your omniscient father figure that lurks, perhaps you start to go to church more frequent, or easier, you kneel down and form a prayer directed at him.

Have you not been a good person? Did you not help enough old ladies pass the street? Did you break one of the commandments?

After looking for the answers yourself in your holy books and unable to find a clear answer, you contact your local holyman, asking for guidance.

After awhile, a couple of days, things seem to go better. You thank your LORD that he had helped you through this troublesome part of your life.

Why go through all this? Why go through all this worrying that you are not satisfying your God? How do you know that he had actually helped you, and it was not just your own achivements and the world around you that reacted on your presence?

What is destiny and the plan of God, if not tools to mess with the so called free will that the Abrahamic religions preach so hard about.

God knows everything that has been and will be. He is alpha and omega, therefore he knows why and how you are going to displease him. Does he help you with avoiding this? No! He would rather judge you by it, even though he knows that you’re going to do it, he set up the obstacles well knowing you can’t pass them.

Why would you want to believe in that?

If you read the Bible you will soon come to the conclusion that God has self-esteem issues in the old testamente, he wants the approval of his people all the time.

Sacrifices, worshipping and they must live by his rules. Why? Because he says so, he created them, and therefore they are his pets.

Even worse in the new testamente, he appears himself in a human form, as Jesus. Well knowing that he is going to sacrifice himself in human form to forgive the humans for the laws they have broken, laws he himself has set.

And would one call it a sacrifice when you can’t die?

Food for thought.

Here is the video that VenomFangX or Shawn, did not want people to see!

Explain this.

Hi guys, trying to teach my son chess, hehe not really. But it could be awesome if he could be able to play chess at the age of two.

It is still an awesome picture. I really like my iPhone, has a lot of nifty apps and it is really good.

So at the moment there is a lot of snow in Denmark.

So here you are, more pictures.

So what are my plans for 2010? First of I will focus on school, due to my back I have a low attendence and this is causing me problems with the school work. I am catching up and I don’t feel that I will not be able to pass the subject. I really hate factors that you can’t do anything about. As of now I am still waiting for the x-ray answers from my doctor.

Hopefully my back will be back in action soon (After I get some 40 kilo small thai girls to jump on it barefoot).

My plans on youtube is to continue my “Atheist Parent” series, which is at this moment in two parts. About being an atheist and a parent, is it even a problem? You might not think so, but a lot of people out there think that I am condeming my son to their imiginary hell for all of eternity. The latest video about labeling your child after the parent’s religion or non-religion gave a good debate. Here is the link for the debate and here is the video. In short is a child born atheist? Don’t debate on this thread, but do it on the youtube debate.

People have said that I might be giving my self some negative attention by focusing this much on my atheism, but I say to them why shouldn’t there be a counter-argument to these religious fundamentalists that still believe in a creation myth, or even geocentrism. When it has no hold in the real world.

Any way, take care and have a happy new year.

Tylzen out for the rest of 2009.

So this is Christmas, well sort of. I am looking forward to all the family stuff. Not really for my own sake, but to observe my son’s reaction about it all. Being 2 years old this is his first “proper” Christmas. Last year he was more focused on the paper, rather than on the presents. Not that it also was not cute, but I am looking forward to his reaction when he gets my gift. A toy laptop that can do stuff.

Being a parent is magical, and you truly don’t appreciate the love of your parents until you are a parent yourself. Watching your child growing up and exploring the world around it.

It is also a lot of responsability since you got the complete trust of an other human being in your hands. Your child trust your judgement the first couple of years, you are the pillars of trust and comfort. Your child feels safe around you. This is a feeling that one should never abuse.

So for all of you out there, Merry Christmas, and stay safe.

Just a quick update people.

Very interresting debate.

Initial Vote: For 333, Against 675, Undecided 389

The motion proposes that "atheism is the new fundamentalism", i.e., atheism has replaced religion as the new faith of the secular age, exploring the notion that modern atheism is itself guilty of the very dogma and belief in its own infallibility which it scorns in the religious community.
Speaking for the motion are Richard Harries and Charles Moore.
Richard Harries outlines the features and the history of fundamentalism, arguing that many of the criteria required for it are in fact apparent in today’s atheists. He portrays a set of people with narrow views, arguing against a specific view of God, who forget that some of the greatest philosophy, art, poetry and music has been inspired and supported by Christianity – the very belief system that is accused of restricting the creative process by its refusal to allow for ‘the grand perhaps’ (Browning).
Charles Moore insists that his opponents cannot see the true complexity of the argument, and that they emphasise the physical and the scientific aspect of humanity at the cost of any spiritual understanding. He criticises Richard Dawkins for embodying this crude and narrow pursuit of literal truth above all else.
Opposing the motion are A.C. Grayling and Richard Dawkins.
Professor Grayling maintains that since 9/11, the nature of the debate on religious commitment has become far more serious. He distinguishes between atheism, secularism and humanism. He refutes Moore’s suggestion that atheists cannot fully understand the complexity of the religious experience, insisting that many atheists understand it all too well, having been brought up in a religious family or community.
Richard Dawkins defines fundamentalism as the following: blind obedience to scripture regardless of evidence, allied to extremism. He argues that far from being entrenched fundamentalists, atheists have a commitment to exploring evidence, and a readiness to embrace change, and that we should not mistake the passion of their arguments or their refusal to remain silent for fundamentalism.

Call me a hippocrit or whatever you wish. Yes I am a member of the Danish People’s Church, I was confirmed, and got my son baptised… But I do not believe in God or have any kind of faith in anything supernatural, regardless of how tempting it might be to worship FSM (The Flying Spaghetti Monster). I am a traditionalist and I have nothing against having rituals. Rituals and traditions are helping with creating stability in our society. These rituals or traditions does not require that you believe in anything supernatural or all powerful. You do not need to pray or worship anything to sit together at a table, share gifts and have a nice dinner with your entire family.

It is not like Christianity invented Christmas or Easter. These were pagan traditions that Christianity assimilated into their belief system.

Making the transition for the peasants much easier.

I know that many atheists share my views on traditions, even Richard Dawkins has mentioned that he is a traditionalist.

It gets bad when you’re required to change your life to please some imaginary being that you have blind faith in. When you speak out to the public about how bad they are not for following your imaginary friends rules.

You may claim how much you will that your imaginary friends is real, how can millions of people be wrong. That does not change the fact that there are no proof or evidence for God or anything supernatural.

You may claim that I have blind faith in science and that ID (Intelligent Design) is an alternative choice for evolution. Even though it was dismissed by the US supreme court in the Dover v. Miller case and was labelled as nothing other than Creationism.

You may believe Kent Hovind, Kirk Cameron, or even Bananaman (Ray Comfort). Even though when these Christians try to explain themself scientificly they have been found to outright lie or just putting out wrong info.

Google is being clouded with Christian sites that tries to get scientific sites lower page rank, so that when someone searches for evolution, they will get into a Christian site that lies about evolution.

A Danish example is www.oplevjesus.dk that in their Evolution section has a box that says, “What does the smart people say about evolution.” And they are quoting random scientists that are not even talking about evolution, but about abiogensis (the origin of life). Evolution is about how life behave, not its origins. Evolution does not deal with cosmology (big bang) either or radio metric dating (eg. C-14 dating). Evolution are observations of species’ development and natural selection. Adapting to their enviroment.

Do not tell me that religion is more good than bad.

Then you have been misguided by the religious agenda. Just look at Youtube, Google, US Lobbyism. Creationism/ID is gaining ground because people are blinded by their faith.

Sarah Palin is a creationist, and several million people would vote for her, because of her biblical view on life.

You can create groups that help people in life, instead of false promises of an afterlife. Making people live in a delusion is not the answer.

Lets remove the blashpemy paragraph from the Danish laws. Also lets hope that the UN does not pass their international blasphemy law.

Atheists and secular humanists should cry out now, make their voices heard.

Why is religion so intollerant against any criticism, why can’t atheistic groups have billboards where they tell people they are not alone in the lack of belief.
