In other words, the little bitch is getting banned again and again, but refuses to acknowledge his defeat, and foolishly comes back on alternate accounts to have his arse handed to him some more.]
I feel like ranting so I'm back for a while, until my mental stability is put back into balance.
www.shockawenow.com <-- go check if you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I don't feel like doing a full explanation, suffice to say this guy is an absolute asshole. You will know the Jesusaurus Rex on its distinct behaviour; Even as it hurls accusations left and right about everyone else being incapable of feeling emotion and only wanting to cause harm to other people, it revels in the sadistic satisfaction of calling itself "righteous" and "saved" while belittling the suffering of every person in history who has ever died a painful and hopeless death, claiming that those are all insignificant in comparison to the VOLUNTARY death of ONE PERSON. This type of christian provides a very interesting study into the very bowels of ugliness that humanity is capable of. Unfortunately, they think that the very characteristics that make them into inhuman monsters, are the ones that set them apart from the rest of us as humble and loving individuals. This has been building up for some time, obviously, but what finally made the glass tip is this video here. (see disclaimer on top if link is dead) The message that I initially wanted to post in the comments section of this video:
You arrogant asshole, shut the fuck up for a second and try realize that you aren't the only person in the world capable of feeling emotion. How dare you belittle the suffering of all of the people that have ever died painful and hopeless deaths, and say that when your god died on the cross, then that is suddenly worthy of mention above all those other deaths that were undoubtedly more painful and hopeless than his? Don't ever again let me catch you pretending to know what it means to feel.
You disgusting, vile piece of human shit. - Pallevader
As you can guess from my choice of wording, this was typed in rapidly in the spur of the moment, before I even remembered that the guy 1) censors comments on all his videos, and 2) has already blocked me from commenting in the first place. Second best thing I could do was to simply post something here, as that was the original purpose of this blog anyway. The thing that really gets to me is how these people can act like absolute cunts and somehow feel that such behaviour sets them aside from the rest of society as being morally and emotionally superior. How the fuck this makes sense in their minds is completely beyond my comprehension, but the fact of the matter is that when this pencil dick sat on his motorbike and talked about how people must be emotionless robots if they would not throw themselves down in servitude in front of Jesus when they think about all the suffering he went through, that's when I lost any remaining notion I had that he might actually be a human being.
Well, that certainly felt damn nice. See y'all out there.

Mental outage - the masochist within
Gotta tell you folks - strange things are happening. I've had an attack of one of my very favourite shortcomings, hence the lack of activity on this blog and my otherwise much enjoyed spare time practice of spamming Baka-wolf. I'm honestly not sure what is wrong with me, or if it's anything that can be helped at all, but one thing is for certain: I really bloody hope that I'm not the only one who struggles with this strange mental hurdle. But I'll come back to that later... First of, let me explain what I'm talking about.
This particular manifest of the insanity that is inherent in the human psyche is one that I feel has been growing more dominant in my mind as of late. And besides being horribly annoying, it is also just downright strange. So what is it that's wrong with me, you ask? Well, for reasons unknown I have a rather extreme, almost phobic fear of commitment of any sort. It seems to me that my mind likes to blow even the smallest of obligations out of proportion, making it seem like some gargantuan hurdle that I can't possibly overcome. It may be a result of my semi-dormant nature as a self-loather, but for whatever reason, this sets in motion a spiral of self-reinforcing negative thinking that ends only once I've hit rock bottom. But then again, normal negative thinking shouldn't be able to affect my sanity to this extent. It's time to be specific about what the effects of this strange mental barrier are, so let me use this most recent case as an example to illustrate the phenomenon in all its magnificent weirdness...
The essence of my problem can be summarized in a single sentence: The more that I'm aware that postponing it will only worsen my situation, the more I postpone it. Now, after opening this blog I started to feel an obligation to keep it updated with at least a couple of entries a week - something that shouldn't be too hard since I have lots of stuff to talk about. But as I started to think of it in light of this new self-imposed commitment to write new stuff with relatively short intervals, I started to fear that I would at some point fail to update it frequently enough. Especially as the last part of my venomfangx response was overdue while I had promised that it would be done really soon - both to myself and to those few who may have been reading this blog at the time - did the fear that I would fail to live up to that promise grow to the point that it was enough to start the process of postponing my writing while dreading it with increasing intensity as the number of days it was overdue grew larger. Ultimately, this seemingly endless chain of "oh no, I should've done this x days ago, now it's already this late" continued until a few days ago when I finally felt that it was far too late to salvage anything anyway. Once I'd reached that point of resignation, I was able to sit down and start writing this entry with no trouble. To tell you the truth, I sometimes wonder if I'm a masochist on some deeper, subconscious level, seeking to punish myself by doing things that I know are gonna hurt me, simply because I know it'll hurt if I do it.
The most frustrating part of this is the fact that while all this is going on I can easily rationalize why it shouldn't be happening at all, and yet I seem to not even be in control of my own thoughts on these occasions. It's the strangest feeling to experience first hand, for it somewhat feels like I'm just a spectator in the theatre of my own mind. Sitting inside are several people that all have a specific role in the picture. There's a guy running about on the stage, trying to meet the expectations that are associated with the role; Then there's a person sitting in the audience and laughing at how ridiculous the guy on the stage is while booing at him; And there is a person sitting even further back, feeling removed from the situation and being slightly amused by the whole ordeal. I guess you could say that the guy on the stage is having an attack of stage fright when I have these mental spasms. That's actually somewhat accurate in describing the kind of feeling that I get when this happens to me. It's like stage fright in that you know that you must do something, and yet the more you know that you must do it, the more you also absolutely cannot do it. You just wish you could load a save game from before you made the promise to do it so that you can escape the inevitability of your predicament. Unfortunately, life has no save game function.
Also, if you hadn't guessed, this subconsciously masochistic brain seizure is also the reason why I stopped frequenting Baka-wolf after having made a few friends there and started spamming as a daily routine. And I fully blame that god forsaken activity meter. Trying to keep it at 100% undoubtedly triggered my commitment phobia and made me lose it altogether. Alas.
Oh and as for why I really hope that I'm not unique in struggling with this mental hurdle... I know myself a good deal more than I feel comfortable about, to tell you the honest truth. You know that feeling? And I know very well that I have the mentality of an under achiever. I will give up if I can at all justify it to myself, and so the last thing I need is a mental disorder to fall back on and use as an excuse for not fighting to live as a functioning member of society. I have, through the past many years, been able to shrug off the various self-doubts and other hardships that life offers with clenched teeth, due to the knowledge that everyone else is going through the same trouble and yet seem to be doing okay. However, if I was given the nifty excuse that my particular hardships are worse than those of the average person, then I would no longer have that reason to keep on fighting to stay afloat. With this in mind, even if I do suffer from a slight mental disorder, I wouldn't want to know about it.
After all, ignorance is indeed bliss.

Lord of The Rings Mutilated!
So, most of you will propably remember a hilarious Star Wars translation from many years back. If you haven't watched it, you have been violated and should immediately go here.
Now, I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to talk about how/when I got it, but in any case I got my hands on a copy of the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie... From Thailand. Oh yes. This means that the "English subtitles" that are on the disc are typed in by some dude with an extremely limited understanding of the English language, so you just know it's gonna be good. And it was.
If you clicked the link, I bet you're smart enough to know what's coming, so I'll just go ahead and explain a few things before I start... Oftentimes, the subtitles are simply missing because the dude typing in the subtitles didn't understand what was said. This also results in some sentences getting cut off midway, because only the parts that were understood have been typed in. So for example, a sentence going like "I am going to bash your head in with a frozen turkey, little girl" could be subtitled as such: I am going to... little girl. Most of the time the result of this is stupid and unfunny, but sometimes it does serve to amuse.. Well, I'll let you be the judge.
Let us, without further ado, embark on this epic journey.
---------------------------------------------------------
To their credit, they managed to get the first line correct.
Sam starts bitching right after waking up. Originally, he expresses concern for Frodo's lack of sleep, not his own.
Sam subsequently goes into narrative mode.
Frodo disagrees.
...But admits that he has no clue either.
They pack their stuff and continue their chase after some unknown creature or object that is apparently headed for Mordor.
Merry: "Welcome, my lords, to Isengard"
The two hobbits brag about having acquired some well end comfort(?).
Among those comforts being some salty pot. The effects of which are showing on Pippin's face.
Gimli would like some salty pot too...
It really puzzles me how they can get the names wrong. If they go through the trouble of making up names, they might as well spend 2 minutes finding the actual names on the net.
Treebeard: "Locked in his tower."
Gandalf is going senile.
Treebeard spreads the hippie message.
...And asks Pippin to get his hands off his bark...
I liked this one. He's actually saying: "Hail the victorious dead."
His meaning is slightly different in this translation...
...What?
Gollum decides to scrap the original plan and take the hobbits to a gay bar instead.
He then reveals his evil intentions.
Gollum apparently wants to be called Precious by the hobbits. This is pretty well in line with his intentions of taking them to the Winding Star.
Legolas talks about some mellow people in the east who have trouble sleeping.
Gandalf lectures Theodon about the ill effects of smoking salty pot.
War monger Aragorn: "They must be warned!"
Gandalf reassures Aragorn: "They will be."
Gandalf once again has delusions of grandeur.
Denethor resorts to calling Aragorn names.
The orcs are spreading the hippie message.
Anonymous onlooker calls Gandalf the white tiger. He seems to have a different title each time we see him. I am also curious as to how he acquired this particular nickname.
Denethor confesses his shameful feelings for Pippin.
Agent Smith - I mean Elrond - gives Aragorn some bad news about.. Something.
Explaining common orc tactics.
Spontaneously combusting flesh is a problem that costs many lives in Middle Earth.
To avoid this, Denethor has come up with a brilliant counter measure: soaking himself in water.
Eowyn made a heroic effort to save Theodon...
But he is die.
...And even has the cheek to call out another woman's name right at the end.
Originally: "Eowyn..."
Meanwhile, Pippin is lamenting all the things he and Merry never got to do together.
This orc thinks of deserting his post. I guess grey ice is a holiday resort for orcs.
...And he threatens to leave Frodo alone. A scary thought indeed.
Sam also has some scandalous relationship with Arwen.
Sam then tries to sell Frodo something.
---------------------------------------------------------
From this point on, the translations become extremely random, but not in a funny way... Just very very weird. So I'll stop here, with one last translation that I did find amusing:
---------------------------------------------------------
As luck would have it, this is the same sort of error that there was in the Star Wars translation that I linked to in the beginning of the entry. It takes a special kind of fail to get it wrong when the words are right there on the screen.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed. I've got lots and lots of other crazy snapshots, but I tried to keep this somewhat short so I didn't include them.

Owned by offhanded philosophy...
Since I've been postponing my last Venomfang reply to the extreme, I've decided to write about something else just to take my mind off that little rat. I'll get around to it eventually, but for now I just need to write about something else. So here goes.
I was watching School Rumble the other day, and pretty much out of nowhere, a certain line owned me so subtly that it took me a while to register just what the hell happened. Without spoiling, I'll simply say that a guy is asked what he thinks love is; A huge question that has been asked by every single person throughout the ages, and that has caused many a sleepless night for me personally. I am sure that no matter who you are, you have thought a lot about this and undoubtedly tried to reach a simple truth that encompases every aspect of this strange and wondrous feeling. In other words, it's one of those questions that you can spend a damn long time thinking about, to the point of almost going insane. And yet here we have a bloody comedy anime that doesn't even make the attempt to be any more than superficial lol moments and romance comedy wherein, suddenly, the following line is spoken: (paraphrasing, since it's in Japanese and because I really don't want to spend a week finding the actual quote) "I may not know much about it, but when I see something beautiful like a sunrise I want to share that moment and that beauty with someone. That is was I think love is."
And god dammit, folks, that is exactly what I think love is. If the art of translating feelings into language is about finding words that trigger the desired emotions in someone when spoken, then that line is the absolute best attempt at explaining the feeling of love that I've heard in a very long time. Of course I am aware that those same words might completely fail to make others feel this way, but for whatever reason that line just really made sense to me when I read it. Why not simply put it that way? What's the need for all those complicated words to try and explain some incomprehensible and fleeting feeling that, in the end, doesn't even cover that which you originally intended to describe? Because here we have it, put in such a simple way that you can really only laugh at it, while at the same time you must stand in awe of the power that those few simple words hold.
After having that "wow" feeling for a while, I came to my senses and realized that a friggin COMEDY anime had just absolutely pwned me and made a mockery of all the time I've spent pondering over this question. In about 4 seconds, with a line spoken offhandedly and presented in such a way as if to say "well, it's not really a big deal.", the burned and mangled carcass of my dignity was left as a smoking pile on the battlefield. Dammit! Having philosophy in anime is great, and part of the reason why I watch anime to begin with, but... Please have the courtesy to deliver such truths in a more serious manner so as to not make the rest of us look like idiots for having spent countless hours late at night trying to find those same answers!
Another example that I can think of is in the anime Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (win anime, watch it for free awesome). This is a very fast-paced and generally insane comedy anime that utilizes the untameable forces of craziness to its fullest advantage. In other words: Not really an anime that requires much thought. Yet when confronted with the question of how she can love herself so much, the main female character answers: "How can you love others when you don't love yourself? This world is fun because you're the main character of your life."
Yet again I feel that, somehow, one of the most central questions of our existence has been answered in a completely nonchalant and offhanded way. Maybe it's my obsession with finding simple ways of relaying complicated thoughts that drives me to read more into the words than were intended, but the fact remains that they recalled those feelings in me that I admire musicians and other artists for being able to describe so accurately. And once again I realize that I'm watching a god damned comedy anime which almost requires you to have your brain switched off for the jokes to be funny. And it makes me feel sort of like >_>
It's kind of sad and yet funny at the same time when this happens, but I recognize that perhaps the reason why those lines made sense to me the way they did was due to the fact that I had already found my own answers. At least you have to have spent some time pondering these questions on beforehand in order to recognize the truth of those words. And I may also simply be seeing meaning that isn't there, which of course makes it more bearable for me.
But still... I can't help but feel pretty damn pwned whenever this happens to me.

Busy real life sucks god dammit.
Well as the title implies, I've had some unexpected real life issues that had to be resolved, which is why I've been slacking :/ Anyway, it's all over now and I should get some time later today to get that last venomfang video out of the way and out of my life.
Should of never bothered with him in the first place... Anyway, that's all for now.

Venomfangx just won't stop spewing his crap (part 4 released on the 4th day)
I want to make a prediction.
We will be getting a total of 6 videos in this series, all released a day apart, symbolizing the 6 days of creation. This is because Venomfang, despite his rugged and adult appearence, is really a child at heart, and when he's not dressing up as batman and uploading videos of it, he likes to play another kind of superhero: God's messenger. He who was persecuted on youtube for spreading the word, and who returned after being cast out, and now finally destroys evolution and rebuilds god's kingdom in 6 days. Well, let's see if I won't be right.
Coincidentally, just as I was checking youtube for the last time of the night, REALLY FUCKING HOPING that there wouldn't be another venomfangx video waiting for me, what did I find? You guessed it, and you better go watch it too before he once again finds something so stupid that even he can see it, and decides to re upload an edited version. For now, watch it here.
I really bloody wish he'd stop making my brain cells commit suicide with his pathetic parodies that somehow always seem to pwn himself without him noticing. Well, he did notice in the last video.. After a while. I think it's a testament to just how far gone creationists are, if they watch his videos and proceed to leave comments like the following: "hahaha I like this !!! this is funny :))lol intro was very hilarious :)) God bless shawn !! spread the word of God"
The word of god, eh? I have only one thing to say to that. If god really has such a shitty sense of humor, then heaven is one place I absolutely do NOT want to spend my eternity! The thought of hearing horrible impersonations of Yoda every single day in an endless fucking chain of insanity isn't my idea of a good time. Let's not comment on the impersonations, but I do hope you experience the horror before it gets taken down.
Venomfang now shows himself as the true, pompous asshole that he is by declaring his unconditional love for all the undeserving and evil atheists like me who persecuted him for his beliefs. Vomited yet? He really is full of himself in his video, and this part alone is enough to demonstrate that. It really is hard to control one's anger when a conceited little bastard sits there and talks about how much better he is than you for loving you even though you're so cruel to him. Once again he just likes to hear himself talk. And as for the kid believing in Santa analogy.. Granted, he does act like a kid in many ways, but amongst the more significant differences are the facts that he has the ability to vote, is openly attacking scientific progress, and is dragging other people down with him into the dark hole of religious fundamentalism.
This is merely yet another fucking case of "Look, they's hatin' mah gawd, they knows he's real!"
No, Venomfang, people most often just find you fucking annoying. You do not pose a threat to anyone's world view, and the most threatening you will ever get is when you deliberately try to put sugar in the gas tank of scientific progress. This is why people respond to your wild claims instead of just having a good laugh at your expense as I think they should have done. The reason why these responses then get hostile in nature can be explained by your attitude. Piss off. Moving on to the part that should be interesting: The flood and the ark (a.k.a. "Jurassic park on a boat for a whole fucking year")
It's pretty apparent, that he doesn't know what he's talking about, but regardless he starts poo-pooing at the geologic column. Let's ignore both the fact that he hasn't done the slightest bit of research into what could have caused limestone to appear with these intervals, and the fact that the geological column looks different depending on where you are. If a global flood occurred, we would have the same bloody layers all around the world, with no fractures, no irregularities, and no other signs of geological activity. Let's just look at how he once again self destructs by circular pwnage. For as he himself states, when you drop a bunch of materials in water they tend to sort themselves in a certain order depending on density and mass. Three things are wrong with his reasoning: First, how the hell, if all the layers we find were formed during one global flood, can there be layers of the exact same rock many miles apart? If the layers were formed in one swoop like Venomfang suggests then we would see ALL the limestone in ONE layer, not spread out between layers of other stuff. Second, a flood doesn't exactly bring the kind of order that venomfang seems to think. It will certainly not know to deposit all the dinosaur fossils below the mammoth fossils. Third, such a flood would only affect a relatively small part of the entire geological column. We have miles and miles of layers on top of one another, and no matter how much fucking water you have it's not gonna stir up that much soil. And I don't know about you, but I think the water would have a hard time dissolving solid rock and subsequently arranging it in neat layers. Just a thought.
I said this in my commentary to part 3, but apparently it didn't work, so here it is again: Using science to disprove science makes you look like a god damn idiot. Because you rely on the very thing that you claim to be false to make your argument. I laugh at you, silly person.
I now have some shocking news. I mean really, I wasn't that shocked, but still pretty surprised. Venomfangx does not know what erosion is. He actually asks where the material comes from, if we have layers piling up! That's right folks, he doesn't know even the most basic principles of geology and yet claims to have a better insight into the formation of the Grand Canyon than the people who have spent most of their lives studying it. Arrogance is such an endearing character trait, isn't it? And then he proceeds to use his now pretty well-known argument that because he is too fucking stupid to imagine how something could have happened, it couldn't have happened. This includes polystrate fossils and the grand canyon being formed. It is painful to hear him say these things, as if it wouldn't have occurred to the geologists if it were this fucking simple. God dammit, I'm getting pissed off again. All facts aside (as is usually the case with Venomfangx), he attempts to make it look like creationism has just as much ground to stand on as evolution by setting up both of these viewpoints as being mere interpretations of the evidence. This is both dishonest and insanely wrong.
I have said it before in an earlier entry, but just for good measure I'll say it again: Any theory is logically sound as long as it accounts for the evidence. This includes evolution, deism, and even the flying spaghetti monster. What it doesn't include, Venomfangx, is your weak and illogical version of god who created the universe in 6 days and who acts like a supreme asshole throughout the idiotic book that he failed to circulate in such a manner that would allow everyone on Earth to find the truth of his existence. If he made a book, wanting us to find out the truth, don't you think he would've been a little more successful? Your world view does not account for retro viral DNA, chromosome fusion, neanderthal DNA, the constant speed of light that indicates an old universe, the geological evidence, the astrological evidence, and it wouldn't make much fucking sense even if it did. And I'll tell you why: If evolution doesn't happen and the universe is only 6000 years old, then all the conclusive evidence that points to evolution and an old universe has all been planted by your god deliberately, while knowing that it would deceive all the scientists. Plainly speaking, a god cannot have created life without evolution and not be a deceiving god. Your world view does not hold a candle to evolution, you little rat bastard, and you are already well aware of that.
Wonderful, now my beautiful morning is ruined. I really should have finished this entry last night so I wouldn't be is a shitty mood right from the start of the day now. Damn you, Venomfangx! Well, if my theory is correct then we only have to endure two more videos.
Until then, may you have a wonderful and venomfang free day.
We will be getting a total of 6 videos in this series, all released a day apart, symbolizing the 6 days of creation. This is because Venomfang, despite his rugged and adult appearence, is really a child at heart, and when he's not dressing up as batman and uploading videos of it, he likes to play another kind of superhero: God's messenger. He who was persecuted on youtube for spreading the word, and who returned after being cast out, and now finally destroys evolution and rebuilds god's kingdom in 6 days. Well, let's see if I won't be right.
Coincidentally, just as I was checking youtube for the last time of the night, REALLY FUCKING HOPING that there wouldn't be another venomfangx video waiting for me, what did I find? You guessed it, and you better go watch it too before he once again finds something so stupid that even he can see it, and decides to re upload an edited version. For now, watch it here.

Venomfangx makes a moron out of himself (part 3 already >_>)
God dammit!
Just when I thought I would get a few days to recuperate, Venomfang launches another attack on my sanity. I no longer doubt that he is copying his material from some creationist website and simply acting like it's his own, because no person of Venomfang's mental capacity can use their brains with such short intervals in between. Their brain cells usually need to cool down for a few days after use. Anyway! Moving on. You'd better prepare, since this is at the same time both the most amusing and the most annoying addition to this tragic video series to date.
Go slay your sanity.
Once again the tone is set right off the bat with yet another inhumanly annoying and exaggerated, not to mention failed attempt at being funny. I had thus far thought that the most annoying thing about Venomfang was his holier-than-thou, condescending way of talking down to people, but now I learn that it's not. It's his fake laughter. If I didn't happen to know that creationists have a shitty sense of humor, I'd think that it was specifically designed to make me cry.
Update: So it seems he changed the opening of his video to one that's even more stupid. I don't know why, but for some reason he fails to recognize that the South park clip he uses is a piss take on creationists, not evolution. I did find some pleasure in the irony, but it is truly hard to even find it funny when this little weasel goes on screen and bitches about how atheists and evolutionists are the most twisted and evil people, when he is the one who thinks amputees don't deserve their limbs, and that the Jews had the Holocaust coming.
That aside, the focus is once again removed - or should I rather say kept away - from evolution. Instead, however, we get to hear about fire-breathing dinosaurs living with giant people that lived to be 800 years old, so one could consider that a fair exchange. But before that he spends some time poo-pooing at abiogenesis, which is an incomplete theory to begin with. "I don't understand this, so it's stupid and wrong" is the worn-out argument that he uses. Funny thing is, if the creationist idea that all it takes to falsify a theory is simply one's inability to understand it, then the stupidest people on the planet would also be the most apt at disproving scientific hypotheses, making them invaluable to scientific progress. Yet we rarely see creationists receive the Nobel prize. I wonder why that is...
A thing to note is that the text books that Venomfang often reads from are the exact same that are used on other creationist websites. Take a look and note how all the books quoted are from before year 2000 (the textbooks quoted by both Venomfang and his idol Kent Hovind are all on this list). Now, I don't know what this tells you, but it would seem to me that the weakest and most outdated books that can be found are repeatedly used to provide an easily refutable representation of the various scientific facts and theories that the creationists don't like. After all, why can't he just pick up ANY science book and refute what it says, if evolution is such a flawed theory? Why does he have to dive into a 1st grade text book from 1987 to find something that he can comment on?
Dishonesty is the trademark of creationists, and Venomfang is a poster boy for creationism. We see this throughout his videos, and this one is no exception. Passages from outdated books as well as quotes from people that lived before many of the major scientific breakthroughs that provide the most solid evidence for evolution support this image of creationists being lying little bastards with no real case to present. Take the quote from Sir Arthur Keith, who Venomfang quickly mentions as being from the "nineteen hundreds". He lived from 1866 to 1955. Furthermore, after a bit of research I find that not only is there never provided any source for this quote, but sir Arthur Keith actually seems to have made a great many statements in support of evolution! This quote has got bullshit written all over it. Anyway, this is all beating a dead horse and is it severely uninteresting so let's jump to the amusing bit.
And here's the thing you'll notice almost instantly: Venomfang lives in an insane and paranoid world, where scientists make up all sorts of crazy shit and therefore they can't be trusted. But he strangely seems to think that some of what they are saying is true, for he keeps falling back on things that he has no doubt read about in order to further his point. We see this throughout this moronic piece of shit video, where he haughtily talks about everything from the properties of oil under pressure to the process of fossilisation, all of which he has heard from scientists and not discovered himself. Which is it, Venom? Can scientists be trusted, or are they corrupt liars who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about? You can't simply choose which parts you want to believe in, it doesn't work like that. But since you insist that evolution is a lie, let's look at what choices that leaves you with: You will either have to say that scientists lie about everything, or that they lie about the things related to evolution. Unfortunately for you, both of those ideas have got 'conspiracy theory' written all over them. In neon.
I have wanted to write about this for a while, and maybe I will soon if you'll just give me a god damned break from commenting on your idiotic crap. Unless you set out to discover everything by yourself, from scratch, you will HAVE to trust information that you get from others. Every time you read a book on a subject, you must trust the author. If we must live in a paranoid world like yours where no one can be trusted, then what is the point of accumulated knowledge? The libraries are useless because they are filled with knowledge that cannot be trusted! You see the problem in this reasoning? Please tell me you do. You will have to give me a damned good explanation as to why scientists, who have dedicated their entire lives - their entire fucking lives, Venomfangx - to furthering the knowledge of mankind, would lie about evidence.
And yes, I know that you will start making pissy little comments about how we all hate your god and are terrified that he exists and therefore want to pretend that he's not real even if it means lying. But like most of your bullshit, this makes absolutely no sense if you spend even just a second to think about it. Would we not be acknowledging his existence if we go out of our way to lie about evidence? I know it is hard for you Venomfang, but please, think. It makes absolutely no sense for scientists to lie, as they are only interested in finding the truth and therefore have an extremely good reason not to lie. But let's just pretend for a second that scientists are indeed afraid of god and want to cover up the obvious evidence for his existence. Just for the hell of it. And of course to once again expose your masterful retardedness. Why would they make up evolution as a means to this end? As has already been pointed out to you more times than it is humanly possible to comprehend, evolution does not exclude the possibility of a god. For this reason, Venomfangx, is your argument not only not founded in reality and therefore moronic, but even if it was, it would still be wrong and therefore moronic. You fail on multiple planes of reality simultaneously. A feat that very few have accomplished.
I can therefore disregard whatever you say in your video that has to do with facts and evidence that you think support your claims, as it can be easily refuted with the following sentence: How can you trust that it isn't a lie? If science is subject to mistrust, then ALL science is subject to that mistrust.
I just owned pretty much all of your video as well as all of your videos to come I'm sure, but there is one last point I want to cover in this rant, and that is your brilliant comments concerning dinosaurs living with man. You show a passage in a 1946 "dictionary" that has a definition of 'dragon' which goes like this: Now rare. A huge serpent.
Now, disregarding what I said before about questioning your sources, how the hell can you interpret giant serpent as dinosaur? There were thousands of different dinosaurs and I cannot think of one single kind that resembled a snake even slightly. Besides, the popular concept of a dragon is a winged, fire-breathing and often many-headed bastard of a monster. I believe even your precious and infallible bible describes a dragon with seven heads at some point. Find me the dinosaur fossil with seven heads, Venomfang, and I'll give you the candy bar that your parents promised you'd get after an infinite amount of time. (This is a reference to an earlier but equally stupid video he has made about the 'proof' that god exists)
He then goes on to mention a few places in folk lore where dragons have played a part and takes this as evidence that dinosaurs lived with man. If for a moment you think that folk lore is history then you are sadly mistaken. OH! OH! But how could they all conveniently think of the same type of beast to use in their stories? They are all the same!
Wrong, asshole, they are as different as cats and dogs. The only traits they share in common (for the most part) are their fire-breathing ability and theior wings. And I don't think you'll find many people who'll tell you that the T-rex killed its prey by breathing on it.
"Here's the T-rex. It was a ferocious killer and the most feared of all the predators of its time. It would single out its prey and run it down with its huge leg muscles, using its massive tail for balance as it ran. After having closed the distance sufficiently, it would then open its maw wide and launch a gigantic ball of flame at its prey. Oh, and it also had wings so it could escape the forest fires that invariably followed."
It's been fun Venomfang, and I can truly say that I'm looking forward to your next attempt at making yourself look like an even bigger idiot.
Just when I thought I would get a few days to recuperate, Venomfang launches another attack on my sanity. I no longer doubt that he is copying his material from some creationist website and simply acting like it's his own, because no person of Venomfang's mental capacity can use their brains with such short intervals in between.

After having closed the distance sufficiently, it would then open its maw wide and launch a gigantic ball of flame at its prey. Oh, and it also had wings so it could escape the forest fires that invariably followed."
It's been fun Venomfang, and I can truly say that I'm looking forward to your next attempt at making yourself look like an even bigger idiot.
