yeah, as a militant atheist raised in this fucked up church, I laughed when everyone fell all over themselves for this guy. Number 1, he has a big American PR firm behind him so smoke and mirrors and Number 2 the church hasn’t changed a thing in 300+ years - what makes anyone think anything is going to change now.…

The real “cool pope” would be like “this religion is bullshit and you’re all dumb fucks” as soon as he gets his hat thingy.

The only one who was calling him Cool Pope or Chill Pope were you guys. And that was only because at least on the surface he seemed slightly less evil than the guy before him, you know, the one who was a literal member of the Hitler Youth. Not a huge bar to pass.

Yeah, that’s me! 😈 Poor atheist, cursed with facts and logic...

Which sounds purpose written for a tool of mass manipulation.

IAmSoNotAmused, don’t get caught up in arbitrary exceptions in the definitions, like “neurons don’t weight statistical probabilities”. Actually, they do, as they are ad-hoc Bayesian machines that only fire after reaching a certain ‘threshold’ of input as defined with semi-random drift by each individual neuron (http://…

Also, you seem to think that just because something is stated as a fact, that makes hearing it “knowledge”. This doesn’t apply when those statements are nonsense. I’m not going to sit here and…

Use your words.

“Zeitgeist” and the YouTube play logo ends up making the picture looking like something familiar, just can’t put mein finger on it...

And posts his videos on Youtube.

My house is powered by fake outrage and internet hate.

Lives “off the grid”

Well, it is all that self-help crap that appeals to gullible weak-willed people who look to others for answers, rather than reflecting in on themselves and what they can do. And people like Robbins and many of the other charlatans on TED make great deals of money by “helping” these people. Most of the TED stuff I have…

Logical fallacies are failures in logic. None of these are failures in logic. These are ways in which we naturally form incorrect ideas about the world around us, which I think you are referring to as human frailties.

Totally agree. It’s called Maslow’s Hierarchy and once you’ve established a comfortable base, focusing on more wealth isn’t going to make you happy.
