      @Yliandra 5 лет назад +24

      @@NYsummertimeCHI Kinda impressive that @Dan ofDunolly reinforced your point before you made it. Though your definition is kind of centered on celebrity stalking, rather than the kind that's most common - being stalked by someone you know, who you probably have had to reject several times. But I would agree that's closer to the type Tim is invoking in that lyric.
      But talk about an excellent example of how language around matters of consent is very important, and when we as a society use language that supports the predator more than the victim, it's only making things worse. Because, while I'm sure Dan was being sarcastic in saying stalking is proof of unrequited love, that's genuinely what some people would argue is linguistically correct. But they'd be wrong.
      Evidence of unrequited love is when the claim of love is made and the other person rejects it or otherwise makes clear that it's not returned - or in the case of celeb or distance stalking, the evidence is that the stalker thinks they genuinely love a person they do not know. People all across the globe love someone who doesn't want them, and they just move on or pine in private, without doing anything that could make the person they claim to love feel uncomfortable, creeped-out or genuinely afraid for their safety. They do not stalk or otherwise harass, and their love isn't lacking in evidence for it.
      Stalking is proof that it's not love at all, but obsession and compulsion that's born of a need to control or possess what you cannot have, much how domestic violence is about the need to control what you are afraid of losing. Just like rape isn't about sex, stalking is not remotely about love or affection. Because if you actually love someone, you want them to be happy, even if what would make them happy is never seeing your face again.

    I was raised Southern Baptist in the American South. When I deconstructed my faith and became an atheist it really upset a lot of my Christian friends. They would ask me questions that, although annoying, were sincere and I was happy, or perhaps more accurately "obliged" to answer them. I was once asked if I didn't miss the wonderful feeling that Christians get when listening to "praise music". I tell them that I have music that gives me those feelings as an atheist and then I point them to this video. This is atheist praise music of the highest quality!

      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.

      That's why he draws into tracks not just people who like funny stuff but some real serious musical nerd geeks who may not even know it - once you find yourself marveling over the internal rhyme and structure while he's singing about cheese then you know you've reached a subgroup that you belong in if you're thrilled to be there. He just died but I think Stephen Sondheim and he would have an amazing amount in common based on the musical style of both, as well as Mozart which they both credit but then I can also pull Green Day into this argument if you like so I'll stop here.
      When will people get over the stupid concept that is something is funny it is not to be taken seriously or called art? If you have to call it any label at all it's philosophy these days, we've come a long way since take my wife please.
      I think people respond hugely to intelligence which people like Bo Burnham over in the United States and wordy people who are very good with the internal rhyming and structure of it all as well as the musical genius - but we don't bother to study music because it's more important to study things like bombs and physics and romance languages I guess I don't know I think all the money should be for music but when it's my turn to be in charge, I'd probably just be happy with a nice karaoke group to sing with - I have to add that it's a special talent that also overlaps with green days ability for Billy Joe all 5'5 of him to run around and own a stadium the way Tim played to a crowd of enormous proportions unheard of for comedy shows except Monty Python until fairly recently. I was hoping that he'd have a lot of stuff out on Netflix since I didn't find him for ages and I'm in America but there's the only one more.

      You are stupid. So is Tim. Shove this up your dumb ass and see if it reaches your head up there:
      “Science adjusts its views based on what's observed
      Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved."― Tim Minchin
      Tim does not know what biblical faith is because he just does not care to know but he'd rather fart out lies.
      Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
      Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
      His opening of "Science adjusts its views based on what's observed"
      Tim is a liar. He believes his god of nothing did miracles naturally with nothing as proof it could. He cares NOTHING about what is observed. What a hypocrite!
      His god claims to have given us the creation of the universe, fine-tuning of the universe for life on earth, life from non-life, information for life before and after it began, the laws of nature without a Lawgiver, etc, etc, when we know that your god of nothing can do nothing. His god of nothing has nothing to offer and its followers only offer nothing of evidence for their god of nothing. That makes him nothing of importance but the followers of the god of nothing are so delusional that they think they do have something to offer to defend their god of nothing.

      He didn't have such luck when I saw him live 😅 it was the last stop on his recent tour and he was so damn ill, he had to run off stage mid song to blow his nose, came back with a bottle of vodka, poured two shots and gave one to an audience member. Then later on he was singing prejudice, forgot the words and had to half sing the beginning of the song to remember the next ones. It's was fricking hilarious, but I also felt bad that he had to perform.

      It's not to roast Sam though. He's just an example, a prompt for the topic. He just wanted to expose the flaws in the logic of those who think that God exists just because of random fortunate situations while the world is so fucked up. The world is full of Sams. I had a friend in school, she and all her family were also Evangelics. One day she told me she knew God existed because her sister was born with a condition and the doctors told them she would not live to be 5 years old, but she was a grown woman with kids. I told her the doctors could be wrong but she insisted she got several tests and then got suddenly cured. I then told her, since it was recent events at the time, why would God cure just one little girl but let hundreds die in an earthquake in Haiti. Her response was that "many people in that area believed in black magic and other practices so maybe God wasn't up to that". I dropped the topic after letting her know that in that case her God was a hard pass to me then. She also told me one guy in her community was cured of homosexuality after they all prayed for him as if anyone wouldn't fake to be straight so that they could be left alone in that situation. What a joyous faith.

      “Science adjusts its views based on what's observed

      Tim does not know what biblical faith is because he just does not care to know but he'd rather fart out lies.
      Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
      Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
      His opening of "Science adjusts its views based on what's observed"
      Tim is a liar. He believes his god of nothing did miracles naturally with nothing as proof it could. He cares NOTHING about what is observed. What a hypocrite!

His god of nothing has nothing to offer and its followers only offer nothing of evidence for their god of nothing. That makes him nothing of importance but the followers of the god of nothing are so delusional that they think they do have something to offer to defend their god of nothing.

    My mom's belief in Catholicism was cemented when she had an aneurysm that was caught before it could kill her. I'm so grateful to still have her, but I also feel like it has kinda ruined her life? She stays with my horrible, manipulative, emotionally abusive father because that's what a good Catholic would do. She prays for hours every day, cleans church and goes at least once a week, often more, she serves on her church council which sometime causes her to have to work14 hour days going from her regular job to church functions. It has consumed her life, and all because her God miraculously showed the inside of her brain when she was getting a brain scan for something unrelated. Kinda breaks my heart that the church has its claws so deep in her, and that she's so content to have them there that she resists when I try to help her break loose of their stunningly harmful organization.

    Lyrics if anyone wants them:
    I have an apology to make
    I'm afraid I've made a big mistake
    I turned my face away from you, Lord
    I was too blind to see the light
    I was too meek to feel Your might
    I closed my eyes; I couldn't see the truth, Lord
    But then like Saul on the Damascus road,
    You sent a messenger to me, and so
    Now I've have had the truth revealed to me
    Please forgive me all those things I said
    I'll no longer betray you, Lord
    I will pray to you instead
    And I will say thank you, thank you
    Thank you, God
    Thank you, thank you
    Thank you, God...
    Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum
    I had no idea, but it's suddenly so clear now
    I feel such a cynic, how could I have been so wrong?
    Thank you for displaying how praying works:
    A particular prayer in a particular church
    Thank you Sam for the chance to acknowledge this
    Omnipotent ophthalmologist
    Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum
    I didn't realize that it was so simple
    But you've shown a great example of just how it can be done
    You only need to pray in a particular spot
    To a particular version of a particular god,
    And if you pull that off without a hitch,
    He will fix one eye of one middle-class white bitch
    I know in the past my outlook has been limited
    I couldn't see examples of where life had been definitive
    But I can admit it when the evidence is clear,
    As clear as Sam's mum's new cornea
    (And that's extremely clear! )
    Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum
    I have to admit that in the past I have been skeptical
    But Sam described this miracle and I am overcome!
    How fitting that the sighting of a sight-based intervention
    Should open my eyes to this exciting new dimension
    It's like someone put an eye chart up in front of me
    And the top five letters say: I C, G O D
    Thank you, Sam, for showing how my point of view has been so flawed
    I assumed there was no God at all but now I see that's cynical
    It's simply that his interests aren't particularly broad
    He's largely undiverted by the starving masses,
    Or the inequality between the various classes
    He gives out strictly limited passes,
    Redeemable for surgery or two-for-one glasses
    I feel so shocking for historically mocking
    Your interests are clearly confined to the ocular
    I bet given the chance, you'd eschew the divine
    And start a little business selling contacts online
    Fuck me Sam, what are the odds
    That of history's endless parade of gods
    That the God you just happened to be taught to believe in
    Is the actual God and he digs on healing,
    But not the AIDS-ridden African nations
    Nor the victims of the plague, nor the flood-addled Asians,
    But healthy, privately-insured Australians
    With common and curable lens degeneration
    The story of Sam's has but a single explanation:
    A surgical God who digs on magic operations
    No, it couldn't be mistaken attribution of causation
    Born of a coincidental temporal correlation
    Exacerbated by a general lack of education
    Vis-a-vis physics in Sam's parish congregation
    No it couldn't be that all these pious people are liars
    It couldn't be an artifact of confirmation bias
    A product of groupthink,
    A mass delusion,
    An Emperor's New Clothes-style fear of exclusion
    No, it's more likely to be an all-powerful magician
    Than the misdiagnosis of the initial condition,
    Or one of many cases of spontaneous remission,
    Or a record-keeping glitch by the local physician
    No, the only explanation for Sam's mum's seeing:
    They prayed to an all-knowing superbeing,
    To the omnipresent master of the universe,
    And he quite liked the sound of their muttered verse.
    So for a bit of a change from his usual stunt
    Of being a sexist, racist, murderous cunt
    He popped down to Dandenong and just like that
    Used his powers to heal the cataracts of Sam's mum
    Of Sam's mum
    Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum!
    I didn't realize that it was such a simple thing
    I feel such a dingaling, what ignorant scum!
    Now I understand a prayer can work:
    A particular prayer in a particular church
    In a particular style with a particular stuff
    And for particular problems that aren't particularly tough,
    And for particular people, preferably white
    And for particular senses, preferably sight
    A particular prayer in a particular spot
    To a particular version of a particular god
    And if you get that right, he just might
    Take a break from giving babies malaria
    And pop down to your local area
    And fix the cataracts of your mum!

      And you think Tim thinks. You're both losers.
      “Science adjusts its views based on what's observed
      Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved."― Tim Minchin
      Tim does not know what biblical faith is because he just does not care to know but he'd rather fart out lies.
      Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
      Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

      His opening of "Science adjusts its views based on what's observed"
      Tim is a liar. He believes his god of nothing did miracles naturally with nothing as proof it could. He cares NOTHING about what is observed. What a hypocrite!
      His god claims to have given us the creation of the universe naturally but that can't be. Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
      Life only comes from life. Law of biogenesis.
      God is the reason for us and all we have.

      All Tim did was take a stupid person saying stupid things and Tim who is desperate to appear smart, made a song out of it as if Tim has any regard for evidence. Tim claims to go by evidence yet he believes his god of nothing did miracles naturally with nothing as proof it could. Now, Tim should make a song about me and how here counters my science that proves he a disgusting joke.
      The atheist/agnostic god. I HATE your god, the god of nothing. Your god claims to have given us the universe, fine-tuning of the universe for life, life from non-life, information for life before and after it began, the laws of nature, etc, etc, when we know that your god of nothing can do nothing. Your god of nothing has nothing to offer and its followers only offer nothing of evidence for their god of nothing. That makes them nothing of importance but the followers of the god of nothing are so delusional that they think they do have something to offer to defend their god of nothing.
      www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html
      The true God beats the crap out of the atheist/agnostic god of nothing.
      It's the atheistic/agnostic types that supply the greatest comedy. They think the universe came about by natural means. There's NO science for it and ALL the science we know proves that creation had to be supernatural and done by a supernatural creator, but...., not to atheists/agnostics. Isn't that funny?!
      You can't do it because you devoted your life to the god of nothing and love being a dumbass.

      Life takes information to form and proceed on. But to atheists/agnostics, chaos through time gave us information. Although it's even hard to write such a ridiculous statement, they believe it. All one can do is laugh at such stupidity.

      I've kept this very basic and brief. I can provide much deeper, yet there's no need to since each point proves there is no explanation for such things to have happened naturally. This IS evidence against such things happening naturally. Lame excuses of why it can still have happened naturally with no science to support it are just that, lame excuses.
      There's a ton more. If you want a laugh, see what atheists/agnostics believe.

      You Tim followers sure hate to think.
      The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

    I love Tim's work, and this one is special. I am atheist but interestingly the song took me on a journey. Back to when I was doing some work in a government hospital, in the paediatric oncology ward. After few hours I had to leave. (I'm not in the medical field). And the visit still exhausts me. In the middle of the song I was back in the ward. And you Christians say there is a God? Clearly he hates lots of children.

      What is that lesson? Why does my little brother have to suffer because someone else needs teaching? The day I was told that is the day I realised Christianity for the lie it is.
