Weird Al has got to be the most creative entertainer in a generation. I’ve known about this for a while now but today was the first time I’ve seen the video. I much prefer the Weird Al version to the original. He’s up for a couple of Grammys tonight. Good luck dude!

My neighbor has an ice house on Lake Mille Lacs in MN. Last summer we put a second floor on it, 10 speakers (in and out), Dual TV/DVD/PS2/Nintendo/power everything in it. Nobody parks their house within 100 meters of it. We just spent a weekend on the ice and the ONLY music available for 72 hrs was the esteemed Mr. Al. The teenagers brought 7 of his albums and I had the pleasure of listenening to it all, over and over and over. (As did everyone else in hearing range)
Something I will never forget. (nor recommend)
Rob, riiiiiiight.
Real...(why is that name so long?), I love Weird Al but I feel your pain. But it says good things about the teenagers (all boys?) that they have such an appreciation for Al.
Sam…
I asked a similar question. “Do you think we will come up here 10 years from now and still have to listen to weird al 24x7?”
“I hope so” my neighbor answered.
It then dawned on me, that as strange as it sounds, Weird Al was the bonding agent between these two very different father/sons. Same as ‘baseball’ is the only topic my own father and I have in common and can openly talk about. I now consciencely have a few stupid topics with my own son that hopefully remain open over the years as he grows into his own man.
I can’t believe Weird Al is still putting out songs. I caught on to him when I was in junior high and he did the Nirvana parody “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
I think Cobain actually played the guitar part for him.

Ditto. Me an the lady currently live in a 2nd floor apartment and we were discussing how many more books we’ll need to buy before the whole house comes down. Not too many. Makes moving a real bitch. I get a nice workout when I move though. Mostly philosophy, international relations, law and political theory… but also literature (Henry Miller is one of my favs), sci fi (P.K. DICK - every book he ever wrote… all 150 of them), and plenty of other stuff. The other day we started piling them on top of the fridge. I got plenty of hardcovers and 1st editions. My brain and library love em, but sometimes my wallet doesn’t. I have a real penchant for old issues of the Evergreen Review and French published Henry Miller books from the ban period that say ‘do not import into the US or Britain’ on them. I have one, leather bound, that is disguised as a bible. I really like that one. I keep it next to my heavily annotated atheists’ bible.
I never let go a book or firearm. I have a considerable number of both. As for moving, the last time we did was 1990. We are dugin, ain’t agoing nowhere.
We used to hit the used book stores off Wisconsin, in Chevy Chase/Bethesda, then Montgomery Country changed the tax code regarding them, placing them into the same category as pawnshops. The prices rose accordingly. Now we stick to a few in Prince Georges and DC proper.

First, what does RMOG mean? I googled it and got something about a gyroscope.
Second, did someone really write an atheist’s bible? Why? And isn’t sort of antithetical to the whole idea of atheism to have an atheist holy book?
Third, I’m starting to develop this theory that blogging attracts a certain kind of book worm. (I love a good sci fi/fantasy book but I’m not much of a collector.) My house isn’t stuffed to the gills with books (yet) but that’s only because I won’t let my husband buy as many books as he wants. Which he gets around by having is family buy books for him for Christmas and his birthday.
My brother-in-law has probably got you all beat for book collecting though. He’s a librarian. As far as I could tell he had every edition of every English translation/version/repackaging (study, women’s, student’s, etc) of the Bible down through the ages (he recently moved and had to get rid of some stuff). Every room at my in-laws house was filled to near over flowing with books when he lived there.

RMOG, it is a usename, Realmanofgenius. He posted the comment above you at the start of this thread, another old dude like me. And yes, there is a certain subset of people in the blogsphere that are terminal bookworms. The computer is the ultimate book, at least for me. I burn a lot of data to disc. Pre-computer I did a whole bunch of research work, spent thousands of hours in sub-basements, storage rooms, vaults, going through stacks upon stacks of books and documents and maps/prints. Worked a few places where everything had to be cleanroomed, gloves, coveralls, facemask. Had a couple of nasty lung infections from mold spores and dust mites.

That seems to come fairly close to an atheist holy book to me. Full disclosure: I am a Christian. Evangelical, conservative, reformed, Calvinist are all labels that can be fairly applied. Atheists being atheists I accept that there are things in the Bible that they will never agree with. If they ever did then they wouldn’t be atheists. Things that hold great significance for Christians mean bupkus to a non-believer and that is as it should be.As for the Atheists Bible, I am not sure it is what you are thinking.

An atheist’s annoitated bible is not really called that. I believe it is a Harper Collins Annotated Bible (or some other popular publisher who escapes me now). At any rate, it is a bible with the lower half of each page being made up of footnotes that explain the historical context, connections to actual historic events, places, and the like. It also discusses the origins of the vocabulary in the bible. Anyone who has read the gospel of John knows how important understanding the ‘word’ is right? Because the bible contains many motifs and repetitive narratives it also notes where similar tales appear and what, if any, tales that have the same motifs pre-date the bible. An example of this would be meeting a chick at a well. Lots of biblical dudes do that. Lots of lore that predates the bible does that too. Story telling back then, it appears, used to have a set of themes and narratives, and stories gained their meaning in their minor deviations from these motifs. Its like the cliche ‘heist’ films. ‘Rififi’ started it all. All the others are basic copies with minor changes to make them unique. Look at the gospels and you will see lots of repetition. Does that help you understand what an atheists’ bible is?
And BTW… I was raised by veterinarians, scientists. As AV notes, I was brought up basically an atheist. Not without morals, just without fear when contemplating all the mystery (unlike a pious Christian).

Historically, there has been no conflict. Isaac Newton and Michael Faraday were scientists who were Christian. Jonathan Edwards was a theologian who wrote extensively on natural science.
It is not inconsistent to say with Albert Einstein, “God doesn’t play dice with the universe.”
For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success.

I dabble in brain structure and function myself. I always find studies that look for structural reasons for faith/spirituallity/whatever you want to call it a bit dubious. There are far too many variables to control for. One of them being the brain itself. I think the brain is a bit too squishy (as in we don’t know as much about it as we think we do) to be able to quantify something as amorphous as spirituality.

There is some correlation (shown in a meta-analysis by Paul Bell, published in Mensa Magazine, 2002), but not exactly what I meant. If one happens to have received a raw deal in the rationality area, they appear more likely to adopt strong irrational beliefs. But maybe the reverse isn’t true.
Carl Friedrich Gauss, along with Isaac Newton and Archimedes, is probably one of the three most gifted mathematicians of all time. He famously pointed out an error his father had made in balancing the books for his company, Gauss was not even three years old. Yet Gauss, like Newton, was a deeply religious person.

Are you establishing credibility here? I would use something stronger than ‘dabble’.
Have you got posting privileges here?
Sure do. But let’s diss on God lovers over here. It’ll be fun. C’mon.
I, personally, think its a matter of what do rational people, with sharp acumen, believe? When it comes to brain science, Christians have severely limiting beliefs. For example: I have studied agency and mental causation a lot in the past. Christians believe people have souls. When you are talking about mental causation and you have three Christians in a room of say 15 or 20 thinkers, they really muck it up with their beliefs. They believe in souls and DEMAND that souls be incorporated into the mental causation discussion yet can offer no mechanisms, no details, nothing besides, “They exist, St. Paul says so or whatever”. Its a lot of foot stomping for nothing. Frankly its annoying and it makes them look like asses and it brings the discussion to a grinding halt because no one who is being serious is going to posit indescribable, made-up entities as a serious part of the stuff under consideration and incorporate it in a non-bullshit, non-question begging manner.
Furthermore, when discussing consciousness, many soul-believing Christians accuse the physicalist or materialist theories of consciousness of being too ‘reducible’. In other words, when consciousness needs to be explained, they cite the qualities of the soul as being responsible for our ‘lights on inside’, conscious means of observing the world. Someone who pursues a physicalist position, whether susceptible to reductionary complaints or not, is immediately written off by all the Christians for not incorporating the soul into their view. When the Christians offer their view, they entirely make up bullshit and ascribe it as being properties of the soul or they let every loose end they can’t explain be explained by the soul. This, obviously, is not only frustrating, it severely retards the progress that might be made in these niches. It essentially is not philosophy, rather more akin to story telling or those old Indian proverbs that explain the night sky by claiming a bird flew up and poked holes in the giant blanket over the earth and that’s where the stars came from. No serious philosopher or brain scientist is even going to engage these people. There, frankly, is something wrong with their thought process that allows them to be so stupid and take it so seriously.
So, spark, if it is all nonsense why are you so concerned with it?
Una Salus Victus Nullam Sperare Salutem
Correct me if I am wrong, Christians have not systematically killed non-believers for around 200 or so years. Why all the paranoia about Christians? Seems that all that concern should be directed towards some other religious group. Perhaps one that is repressive and totalitarian in their actions against those who disagree with them.
And yes, I fall into the category of Christian. Raised Southern Baptist, and got the hell away from it as fast as I could. Is there (a) God? Yes. Is He/She/It micro-managing this planet and human lives? No. He/She/It set the cosmos in motion and went about His/Her/It’s affairs.

To each his own. You are fairly loosely a Christian if you only believe in God as a prime mover. What about Jesus and the miracles or whatever? I’m not saying Mary was a bad mother. She was one of the best. Watching her son be killed is something no mother should endure. Just because one guy is gullible enough to have infidelity explained away by divine intervention doesn’t mean everyone should go around believing whatever Mary said in an effort not to be killed or ostrasized.
The ‘prime mover only’ belief is vague enough that its as judaic as it is christian.
Contrary to one inept religious fanatical freak. Believe it or not I am a Christian. I believe we have a soul and that we have an eternal life. Even astrologers are fascinated with the birth of Jesus. I think the Muslims would do well to make Jesus their savior instead of Mohamed… Silly me, I just think mohammed is a control freak warrior and needs lots of virgins because he can’t keep a woman.
Sparkie, what I know about the brain is what any lay individual can learn from judicious use of Google which is a surprising and fascinating amount. I get the impression that my credibility wouldn’t mean much to you so no I was not trying to establish any

Sam, this harkens back to earlier discussions on religion. And as far as I can tell, Christianity is standing on its own, even though lots of people are working hard to knock it down.
I am just not big on organised religion. As it is said in one of the Shura “Let no man stand between you and God.” Or perhaps that is from Hadith. You get the point, I hope! Organised religion of all kinds have been used to perpetrate untold evil and harm on the human race, and I just don’t think people in the 21st century should be bowing down to a bunch of murdering thugs masquerading as Holy Men.

I am equally critical of all who claim to know Truth, and that their God is the only God. If I were to state that I doubt that Mohammad was a prophet, or that I don’t believe in the hundreds of Hindu gods, I doubt few here would disagree. They are happily critical of others beliefs, but don’t apply the same logic to their own.
And I share Sparkies annoyance when people trot out souls, or God, to explain difficult things. It is intellectually lazy, and there is zero evidence.

That is a intellectually dishonest statement. Proofs of God are present in observable effects to those whose perception is not limited to natural causes. Try reading some natural philosophy and then come back and tell us how intellectually lazy our Founders were.
There is no intellectual laziness on either side of this issue, only different perspectives.
AV, my soul is not in the business of explaining “difficult” things. It is more of a “blow out your upper thoracic cavity and seperate your scalp from your skull” sort of soul. Being a moral animal I don’t stroll about doing that to just anyone I meet. Another religious group we can think of, not so much in this regard. They tend to abuse and kill people rather at random, focusing on their own children and women. So. Why you hate Christians so much?
