Samuel Thomas Poling, Blog #140, Theist Argument 2, 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Listen, folks, I feel like Crap right now, I really do. It's late, I've had a lot of work to do, a lot of emotional bullshit to wade through. I'm really not in the mood to mess around with theistic stupidity. Unfortunately what gets me angry is always what gets me happy. That is to say - What gets me happy is destroying what gets me angry. But I really just want to get to the happy part right now if you know what I'm saying.

I've done several blogs on theist arguments in the past, but now I'm going to go through them all in another blog series I'll just call "Theist Argument."
You see, theists want to explain reality just like you and me. However mostly they don't want it to be a reality they don't like, they'd rather it be something they would like to be true. And as intellectual liars, cowards, and frauds, or just as morons who can't think of a better explanation, they use "God" for the answer to several of the universe's biggest questions.
Libertarian

Here is one of them, titled "Libertarian." :
For a long time I've been struggling over which political party I am closest to. Democrat or Republican or some other ones... None seemed to fit the bill. Sure, I love bashed Republicans, but Democrats, too, seemed to be morons on many issues. Both sides seemed to often seek to make choices for people, rather than leaving the choices to the individual. Not to mention the literal definitions of Democrat and Republican were rather, well, similar. One group is for a democracy and the other is for a republic. That's basically the same damn thing. Besides, democracy and republic both contradict freedom, so I'm not for them anyways. Instead of being a serf to a tyrant, in a democracy you are a serf to the majority! That's not freedom. If you say it's freedom, you're an idiot.

Alright, I can't remember if I did a blog on this before. I really don't think I have, surprisingly. This is a fairly popular issue. I did touch on it in my rant blog. I want to tell you just what I think when it comes to homosexuality issues in the US, including "gay marriage" and all that good stuff.
Now apparently the majority thinks people of the same sex should not be able to get married, including our just wonderful (sarcasm) president, George W. Bush Jr.

This is one of my older blogs. All my other blogs here are somewhat serious, about certain issues, so I'll see if I can't post something funny for once. Here it is:
My lattest Marine Biology Assignment (my favorite answers are to 30, 32, 33, and 37):

Here is an older blog I wrote which is just about me.
I'm an asshole and I think this blog warns you of that.
My strengths are:
Born leader, must correct wrongs, strong-willed, exudes confidence, sees the whole picture, goal oriented, moves quickly to action, knows the right answer, has little need for friends, is usually right, and excels in emergencies.
My weaknesses are:
Bossy, impatient, quick-tempered, enjoys controversy and arguments, won't give up when loosing, inflexible, little tolerance for mistakes, may make rash decisions, demands loyalty, demanding, decides for others, knows everything, can't say sorry, may be right but unpopular.

Here is "Flag as my Witness," from my mysapce. It turns out those who think we should ban flag burning hate freedom more than those who are burning the damn flag.
A while ago in my senior civics class we got to the subject of flag burning. Should people be allowed to burn the American Flag? If we said yes, then we move to the left side of the class room, if we said no, then we move to the right side of the class room. I normally sit at the right side of the class so I had to pick up all my stuff and migrate to the ever emptying seats of the left side. I settled down and looked around me. There were four other students on the left side, and they looked as if they were only over there because they didnt want to get up. In other words they were sleeping on the desks or had head phones on or something like that. But we were pretty much exposed compared to the other side of the class so Im sure some form of justice was involved in keeping them on that side.

When the name Samuel Thomas Poling is heard by those who know me, most of those people will think bastard in association with that. Thats fine. Theres nothing wrong with that, especially once it is true. Not Bastard in the literal sense but, I am a total dick. No surprise there.
However what isnt okay is shallow mindedness, which people desperately attempt to use against me all the damn time. This is pretty much three logical fallacies every time they do it.
The Irrationality of Theism

This is a copy of one of my blogs on myspace, my 99th. It is the original verson of my essay titled "The Irrationality of Theism." Sapient adapted it for the RRS show and so forth, switching some of my words around to make it sound better and so on, but here's the original verson as I posted on myspace (at least I think it's the original. I might have updated it on myspace before, but I know it isn't the FINAL verson):
(Sorry, I wrote this on microsoft word, and things I type on that program and paste here usually are missing several types of punctuation, like quotation marks for example, and apostrophes.)
Force an End to Theism?

Imagine I have a button right here next to me. A big, red, easy button. Hell, pretend it is an "Easy Button." With the word "easy" written on the top of it and everything. And imagine that if I did hit it, a little voice inside would go off and say, "That was easy!" - just like the commonly sold "Easy Button" does.
Then imagine that if I did press this so easily pressed button that something much more than a stupid electronic voice were to happen. Imagine that if I pressed it, all theism would end instantly.
