Found this excellent footage on YouTube from a lucky ba****d who got seats in the 2nd row of possibly the best concert there will ever be (well if you are my vintage you would think so anyway). Now I just have to wait for the DVD to come out so I can be first in line to buy it!
These songs - Good Times, Bad Times (first song, first album - I was in my last year at school when I bought it) and Ramble On from Led Zeppelin II would have to be among my Led Zep favourites - but there’s so many!
According to the Achilles Last Stand website, this concert will be the last as Robert Plant has turned down the guaranteed 100 MILLION POUNDS to do a tour, even though Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were keen. Pity, but the songs will always be with us.
I’m a huge fan of Pat Condell, his wickedly accurate observations on the ridiculousness of religions (especially the silly christian varieties) always manage to hit the nail squarely on the head. I found this one recently and it’s too good to keep to myself.
If you haven’t seen it, here it is (until the ‘church’ bully-boys demand it be taken down again) - the Tom Cruise video.
I’ve never thought much of him as an actor, now I reckon he’s a fruit-loop as well.
I’d add more, but really the whole ‘S’ thing is a non-issue to me - I mean, if someone is stupid enough to believe in a ‘religion’ founded by a science fiction writer turned con-man, then hell, go for it. The rest of us will just ignore you. Period.
I started writing my views about the whole ‘S’ issue here, then deleted it because, honestly, I was scared. Scared by all the stories of ‘black vans’ and ’smear campaigns’ - then I thought to myself ‘come on - the society we live in is a a free society. We are entitled to express our views about anything, churches, cults and the mad behaviour of any group that is operating outside (or damn close to outside) the laws of that society. So here it is, back again - my views about ‘S’ and I don’t care if I’m considered an ‘SP’ or whatever other ridiculous term you want to label me with. I am a rational, thinking human being who doesn’t have ‘thetans’ inside me that need to be ‘cleared’ or whatever other nonsense that you believe…’
Most atheists believe that eventually the world’s religions and churches will fall by the wayside. They have to, if human civilisation is ever to progress. At the heart of this process is the defining of the word ‘church’ - and Scientology has given the world’s governments and lawmakers a priceless gift - if a cult that tells it’s members (eventually, after charging enormous ‘fees’) the ridiculous story made up by a psychologically damaged sci-fi writer can call itself a ‘church’ and get away with it, then what is next? The hope is that eventually someone, somewhere will have the balls to start the whole process of exposing this dangerous, fraudulent group and others that claim the title ‘church’ for what they really are.
I remember watching the ‘Sunday crazies’ on New Zealand telly in the late nineties and presumably they are still on. Benny ‘the hair’ was my favourite and could always be relied on for a good laugh.
I wondered how the ratbag was doing and a Google search for him turned up thousands of sites and pages - and in nearly every one his name was associated with the word ‘fraud’.
Here’s part one of an excellent ‘Fifth Estate’ documentary about him. All 5 parts are available in the related videos box at the YouTube page here.
Now, I just knew Bill would eventually tell us what he really thinks of religion. From a concert in Aussie I believe - he’s chosen Aussie to come out. I love it!
After watching the Nova series about the Dover trial I was struck by how clearly the explanation for the differing numbers of chromosomes in apes and humans was presented. I did some searching and found this interesting video of a self-professed roman catholic biologist explaining the process very clearly. His comments at the end of the video are very revealing and also bemusing as well - how can religious scientists reconcile what they believe with scientific knowledge?
Intellectual Compartmentalisation is how they do it and I find this process amazing (and worrying). To quote Richard Dawkins - “There are people who muddle along, and that’s fine if they haven’t really thought either of those positions through very thoroughly,” he says. “But there are others who know that it’s contradictory and still somehow manage to hold the two simultaneously. That, I can’t understand. It’s a feat of psychological gymnastics which, like the splits, I’m not capable of doing. These are people like the American geologist I quote in the book, Kurt Wise, who says in effect: ‘Even if all the evidence, every single jot of it, was to the contrary, I would still believe that the earth was only 6,000 years old, because that’s what scripture says.’ And he knows perfectly well that every bit of evidence does contradict it, and yet he’s holding those contradictory beliefs. I couldn’t do it.”
Many of us believe that there are, in fact, far more non-believers in a god than is generally reported. I'd be interested to see the results from the Poll below, so why not register your belief anonymously?
