From the New York Times why Sunnis and Shiites have been at war since the 7th century.

"The Sunni and Shiite branches of Islam split in the late seventh century in a dispute over whether the Prophet Mohammed's son-in-law, Ali, should carry on as the fourth caliph, or successor. The Shiites - meaning partisans or supporters of Ali - lost, and since then have been a kind of underclass in the Islamic world, nurturing an emotional faith with an emphasis on martyrdom."

An interesting explanation from a former Christian for why he threw out the god bullshit. Internet name "Goonie Works".

What are your thought on relgion and do they differ than how you were raised?
Congratulations and welcome to the 21st century. On your own you figured out your brainwashers were morons. Not everyone has what it takes to grow up and face facts, but that's what you did.

Grades 1 thru 8 I was brainwashed in a Catholic school but I never bought the hell bullshit. At a public high school my girlfriend asked me why do I go to church. I could not answer the question. Not long after I threw the ridiculous nonsense out.

I remember in 1st grade being taught the creationist bullshit but it was never discussed after that, and we never learned any science those 8 years. In my 1965 high school biology class my incompetent teacher never once mentioned evolution and it wasn't until after I graduated from a university that I first heard the word "evolution". Nobody I knew ever talked about it and I didn't even know what the word meant. I became an atheist without ever wondering why we are here. I was only interested in math back then. When I got interested in science I read 5 books about how evolution works and the evidence for it. Now I know evolution is the strongest fact of science and the creationists are total morons.

Theists (and their agnostic friends) are fucking idiots.

"Atheists, what would make you believe in God?" is equal to "Atheists, what would make you believe in the Easter Bunny?" 

Nothing would make me want to buy magical rabbit bullshit, same answer for magical god fairy bullshit. FFS magic is not real. How hard is that to understand? 

"If you want proof, you read the bible and have faith that it is true." 

If there is proof why would I need faith to accept your childish moronic fantasies? I can see your disease is incurable. Your brain damage can't be fixed.

What I wrote at the WSJ about conservative dividend income investing.

Jun 15, 2015

Most investors are doing it wrong. What they do is equal to gambling. It works sometimes but eventually they could get wiped out.

The way to go in my opinion is buy only safe dividend paying stocks. By safe I mean those corporations who have been increasing the dividend every year for the past several decades. They raised their dividend even during the last very bad recession. Investors should keep the shares they buy for the rest of lives, never caring if the price goes up or down. The idea is to have a growing dividend income. People who use this method starting at a young age will probably be able to retire long before they can collect social security, while never having to worry about anything.

Conservative dividend income investing is boring but it works. Not only do these people become wealthy, they can sleep at night. They have nothing to worry about because they're doing it right.

Another quote for my list of favorite quotes

"And, you have absolutely no comprehension of how arrogant it is to pretend to have a personal relationship with the creator of the entire Universe, while you're only a mere relatively hairless ape spinning impotently on a wet ball of dust in an obscure corner of it all"
-- Methane Mama

An idiot suggested parents should be allowed to give their children an inferior education.

"The solution is to end the need to fight to get what people want: allow school choice."
School choice is OK but if that school does not competently teach evolution including human evolution then that school should be closed down. It's not fair to students to get stuck with an ant-science incompetent science teacher. Letting students be taught magic instead of science is child abuse. There's no excuse for it. Compromise is out of the question. Never compromise with idiots because the idiots are wrong.


Also, creationism should never be mentioned because bullshit is a waste of precious classroom time. If a student asks about magical fantasies, the teacher should firmly warn the student there will be no discussion of bullshit in this classroom. If you have a problem with that then you fail the class.

Question at Yahoo: "Why should creationism(old earth or young earth) be taken seriously?"

"Why should creationism(old earth or young earth) be taken seriously?" 

Or you could ask "Why should uneducated morons be taken seriously?" 

All creationists are uneducated morons and they always will be uneducated morons. Imagine believing in bullshit even though the entire scientific community knows they're wrong. These Assholes For Jeebus have no curiosity. They don't even try to understand why everyone laughs at them. Their stupidity is breathtaking. They're too lazy to understand the science that makes them cry. They want to throw out two centuries of scientific progress and replace it with the most childish magical fantasy imaginable. 

A Magic Man that looks like a creationist moron magically created all creatures out of nothing. 

The stupid. The burning out of control stupid.

At Yahoo I answered this question: "Does everything in nature has a natural answer or explanation?"

"Does everything in nature has a natural answer or explanation?" 

It's nice to see this rare good question at a website infested with hardcore morons. 

Of course there is a natural explanation for everything even if scientists don't yet know what that natural explanation is, and even if the problem is never solved, there has to be a natural explanation. 

This is not an opinion. This is reality. Reality is not an opinion. 

The only alternative, which is stupid and childish, is magic. The lunatics who believe in a Magic Man will never admit they believe in magic but that's exactly what they believe in. 

Science hard. Hurts brain. 

God easy. No think.

Virtually all investment advice from professionals are stupid. What I wrote at the New York Times which was full of terrible advice.

"Why Investing Is So Complicated, and How to Make It Simpler"

Simple and safe: Do not buy mutual funds and do not pay for advice. Make your own decisions. Do not share your retirement income with professionals.

After doing your own research (I recommend Seeking Alpha for free advice from successful investors), buy only shares of corporations with a very long history of raising the dividend every year. Keep these shares for the rest of your life. Reinvest the dividends (there is no fee to do this) and spend every spare dollar on more shares. When your dividend income is greater than your income from your job, you can retire. And if you start using this strategy at a young age, you will be able to retire long before you're old enough to collect Social Security. When you retire your income should be enough to be able to continue buying more shares of dividend paying stocks to increase your income for the rest of your life.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/12/upshot/investing-in-the-dark-the-biggest-cost-of-fear-is-paralysis.html?abt=0002&abg=0

At Charles Schwab it's only $8.95 to buy an unlimited number of shares and for reinvesting dividends there is no fee. I agree with "Buying mutual funds is a fool's game: no matter how low the fees, they still drag down returns." People should make their own buying decisions and not share their income with anyone. If people buy shares of companies with a long history of increasing the dividend every year, even during the worst recessions, and keep those shares for the rest of their lives, they will never have to care if the stock market crashes because their dividend income is safe. I'm retired and I live off the dividends, and I keep buying more shares, increasing my income even though I don't need it. I love market crashes because they're a great buying opportunity.

My conversation with a Muslim terrorist.


Where does it say apostates need to be killed in the Noble Quran? It mentions that apostates who FIGHT Muslims and also spread their poisonous ideology to others should be punished. Apostates who keep to themselves, don't try and argue with Muslims to spread their unbelief to others and try to harass Muslims and also, especially, those who fight Muslims with other unbelievers should be punished. That is the Law of God (swt), but they can avoid punishment by repenting and accepting faith again. The apostates who don't bother anyone and don't spread their unbelief to others should not be harmed, their punishment will be in the next life and even in this life if Allah (swt) wills it as it states Allah (swt) either punishes them or grants them respite in the Noble Quran along with other sinful wrongdoers.

I wrote a comment for a god-soaked airhead. Like most airheads, she refuses to admit her Magic Man is not a magical being.

I will explain. Your Mr. God, when it creates something out of nothing, for example a universe, solar systems, life, or causes miracles (for example the resurrection of a decomposing corpse), it is performing magic tricks, the same as Harry Potter except Mr. God has a much more powerful magic wand.

A belief in magic is childish which explains why Christians would rather call Mr. God's magical powers something else, but no matter what people call it, it's still magic.

Another interesting thing about Mr. God is it's not necessary. Scientists know how the universe began, they know how solar systems form, they know how life began and how new species develop. They might not yet know all the millions of details, but what they do know is enough to say your Mr. God was never necessary for anything. Also, invoking a god to solve scientific problems is just plain wrong. It's giving up scientific research and saying god did it. That's for lazy people who don't want to think. And since Mr. God was never necessary for anything it's fair to say it doesn't exist.

And that bible thing, it was written by uneducated people, and most certainly they were not inspired by the magical master of the entire universe. You might want to throw out reality so you can believe your religious fantasies, but reality is not going away. We are stuck with reality whether we like it or not. So there is no magical life after death, no magical resurrection, no magical miracles. For me reality is a wonderful thing because it's interesting and because it's real.

One more thing. Reality is not a point of view. Reality is not an opinion.

You are so nice and I appreciate it but you're wrong about everything, and I can't respect ideas that don't belong in the 21st century. And most certainly I can't respect any religion because religions are good for nothing but the brainwashing of children, violence, and slowing down human progress. We don't need religious insanity in the 21st century.

At the Wall Street Journal I told a "grand mufti" he's a fucking idiot.

"As such, fatwas are one of the most important tools we have for countering radical terrorism."
The only possible way to end religious terrorism is to eradicate Islam, a disgusting anti-science barbaric cult, which during the 1st 15 days of Ramadan is responsible for 149 terror attacks, 27 suicide bombings, 1,402 killed, 1,896 wounded. For a longer list of atrocities for Allah see http://thereligionofpeace.com
"Mr. Allam is the grand mufti of Egypt.
I can't imagine a more worthless career. Get a real job Mr. Allam.
Mr. Allam, guess what happens when an atheist insults your moronic Islam in Saudi Arabia. He gets seven years in prison and 600 lashes. Mr. Allam, you have my contempt.

Louisiana Stupid

https://blog.au.org/church-state/julyaugust-2015-church-state/au-bulletin/activist-says-la-public-schools-teach

I answered a question at Yahoo Answers.

"Who is waging this supposed war on religion?" 

I am. I want to eradicate religious insanity from this planet. 

"People who identity as atheist make up 5% of the population" 

It's a lot more than 5%. The most recent Gallup poll shows that 19% of Americans accept the evolution of human apes from ancient apes, and they agree a magic god fairy had absolutely nothing to do with it. These people are atheists or very close to atheist. 19% of the American population is not insane. That's disgraceful but not as bad as 5%. In any case the younger generations are not buying the moronic bullshit. Religion is dying in this country and it's already virtually dead in Europe, except of course the Muslim scum. 

The vast majority of atheists completely ignore religious insanity except when they're laughing at the breathtaking stupidity of it. However there are hundreds of thousands of atheists who have said enough is enough. The never ending religious violence, the stupidity, the brainwashing, the religious war against science education, it has to stop. These people, including myself, ridicule religious scum every chance they get.
