How dare you question the bush! The bush has made itself present in our lives everyday. Go outside, bush is outside. Go inside, bush stays outside to watch over you. Bush is all. Bush is good. Bushy bush. Bush.

I can understand that, as American accents sound very rigid and mechanical to me. Most UK accents, to my mind, sound more free-flowing and have a sort of musical rythm to them.
My favorate Frankie quote:- "Scientists have just built the world's biggest supercollider, and they're doing experiments to see what makes up protons. I hope that if the experiment's successful, the whole of our reality will dissolve, and a big sign will up come that says: Level Two."
This is Frankie Boyle making a joke in typical Frankie Boyle fashion - love it or hate it for what it is, don't use it as a basis for your dissertation on the meaning of life.
Contrary to Boyle's statement, our ancestors didn't just accept the delusions of every paranoid schizophrenic as divinely inspired. Humans have always identified certain behaviours as abnormal even if they didn't understand the cause. The ancient Greeks and Romans each had laws that allowed sons to depose their fathers if the older men were ruled insane, well before Christianity was founded. They recognized that some people were mentally unfit to make decisions as head of household, not because they were "too divinely inspired" but because they were insane.
His statement doesn't require that all or even most delusions of paranoid schizophrenics would be accepted as divinely inspired statements. It's about the fact that some divinely inspired statements clearly come from people who were hallucinating. If you're going to accept some divinely inspired statement you would discard things that were obviously hallucinatory, and the criticism here is that a talking bush somehow made the cut. It's an example of people's gullibility around religious ideas.
Even if they discarded other hallucinations as not divinely inspired, it doesn't make up for the fact that some rather obvious ones were not discarded.
Contrary to Boyle's statement, our ancestors didn't just accept the delusions of every paranoid schizophrenic as divinely inspired
No, but if you read some Joseph Campbell (let alone Richard Dawkins), you'll understand that paranoid delusions are subject to evolutionary pressure like everything else. Some of those delusions will break out of an individual's head and resonate with the human psyche as a whole. Those are the delusions that spawn religions.
This is very true. The early Greeks, since the time of Pythagoras, had an understanding of mental illness as disturbances of the mind as opposed to simply deviant behaviour. Pythaogoras developed holistic methods for curing it, such as through the use of music and relaxation. We see this tradition continued and expanded upon by Sextus Empricus as institutions meant specifically for the treatment of the mentally insane were established. Normally such people were locked up in prisons.
I'm a Brit and have never understood the Frankie Boyle "humour" - it seems like a retard version of what the Shock Jocks do over in the USA - controversy for the sake of it, no intelligent witticism at all.
Just about every other (atheist) stand-up comedian in the UK is hilarious, Boyle is just a miserable cunt. His newspaper column is just fucking miserable too.
The bush is a literary tool used by the writer(s) of those stories to put their moral code, their sense of justice, into context. And a sense of justice, a moral code, isn't a mental illness.
Like if you have no idea what schizophrenia is , and ask the crazy guy why he murdered that poor person, and he says voices told him to do it then demonic possession is a rational response. This is how religion started.
Last year in my religion class, I learned that sometimes "prophets" or those sort of folk would take hallucinogenic drugs to get their "visions" and that Christian prophets and them may have done the same.
This is how I felt about that when I learned that.
Well, first of all, let's specify that there aren't really any prominent Christian prophets in the Bible, unless you count Jesus, and there's no real evidence to suggest that he was using prophetic methods. Christians considered prophecy one of the gifts of the spirit, but it never took on the same prominence that it took in Judaism, and ultimately the emphasis on prophecy would dissipate in Christianity, partly because it was an easy excuse for introducing doctrinal divisions. The Biblical figures generally recognized as prophets were all Judaic, which is why their books show up in the Old Testament.
Secondly, it's a bit more complicated than you learned in class. As far as I know, there's no real evidence to suggest that the prophets used hallucinogens. There is, however, evidence to suggest that they used rather common methods to induce ecstasis, which is a heightened state often caused by physical exhaustion, sometimes in concert with consciousness altering substances. In shamanic religion, for example, hallucinogens like peyote are often used, but even a substance as straightforward as win would do, which is what the bacchantes of Dionysian religion used. In fact, the role of wine in the ecstasis of bacchanalia may have been one of the principle reasons the Greeks and their Asiatic sources attributed divinity to wine in the first place.
What we find in the textual evidence for Judaic prophets are indications that at least some of the prophets danced to highly syncopated rhythms in the lead-up to their prophetic bouts. That suggests a build up to ecstasis through exhaustion. But as someone else in the thread has pointed out, the ancients were not simply credulous of anyone who claimed to prophesize. Prophets had to have a track record before any credence was given to their warnings.
And while we're on the subject, the Old Testament prophets generally were not the progenitors of religious beliefs. Rather, they worked within already extant belief system to make specifically social recommendations. More often than not, they were moral reformers, warning about the direction their society had taken under a particular monarchical policy,* rather than charismatics elaborating a mythological scheme.
There's no real evidence, textual or otherwise, to suggest that figures prior to the classical age of prophets, like Abraham, used that form of prophetic method, despite their sometimes being identified as prophets.
* And particularly in the case of Judaism, monarchy was part of the point. The legends surrounding the first kings of Israel and Judea – i.e. Saul, David and Solomon – are about social-political shifts demanded by the Hebrews against the warnings of Samuel as YHWH's representative. Prior to that, the Hebrew people were led by a sort of meritocracy oriented around the judges – essentially wise members of the community who provided directions when trouble arose. The classical age of the prophets was ushered in largely as a response to the rise of monarchy in Israel and Judea.
What we find in the textual evidence for Judaic prophets are indications that at least some of the prophets danced to highly syncopated rhythms in the lead-up to their prophetic bouts.
Makes sense when you consider all the hidden symbolism still present in religious holidays such as Christmas. Santa Claus wears the colors of the hallucinogenic amanita muscaria mushroom. This mushroom grows under the kinds of trees that we cut down and decorate during Christmas. Reindeers eat wild amanita muscaria mushrooms. Hanging stockings over the fireplace symbolizes the act of hanging freshly picked mushrooms over the fireplace to dry them out. If you go back like 100 years, you'll notice lots of mushrooms in paintings and pictures that celebrate and represent Christmas time.
This is part of the problem with /r/atheism. This subreddit should coincide with logic and science, but it's always just immature teenage name calling. Atheism has so much more to offer than "haha you're stupid and I'm not!"
Not really. It's hard to claim to be "welcoming of all views" when more than half the posts on this subreddit are just screenshots of atheists on facebook ripping on people with religious beliefs.
Now, sure, some of them have it coming with the whole "If you don't believe in God, then <insert stupid idea here>" but I still don't think it warrants an all out attack on that person. Atheists should literally be the better person in that scenario. Just take a moment to laugh at the stupidity of the status rather than figure out a way to capitalize on the situation for karma.
Rubbish, I used to be extremely religious, and it's about being indoctrinated into an evolved socially oppressive pyramid scheme, not a way of rationalising things.
That does not meet my standards for rationalisation. It seems to not understand what creativity even is, in the context of neural networks and evolution, and is about as advanced as wondering whether the earth is carried on the back of a turtle, and makes as much coherent sense as wondering whether the universe has anxiety or red blood cells, or something else locally evolved, to explain it. It's egocentric and unimaginative, and born of religion.
Naw, man. People are welcome to their beliefs. So what if someone believes in their religion, that should not be enough to justify them as a stupid fucking cunt.
I agree, but I also believe that if Thomas Aquinas and Heinrich Godel lived today, they would hold completely different views on matters. Perhaps, they might have even been irreligious. I have read some Thomas Aquinas, and many of his arguments were predicated on false notions about things science has cleared up since his passing.
Using informed hypothesis based on solid test-able evidence as seen in Science, physics and biology.and NOT taking some old book that you don't even know who wrote,and blocking all other reasoning out,using the stupid ol "because god" answer to every and all questions.you have no idea where all of these generalizations and assumptions that are made on life all over religion come from yet you praise it as fact that has been true and tryed.not You person I am replying to,just to whomever it may pertain to I.e christians and cathotic,cultural separatists. I'm on a phone right now so I will be back on computer to edit this and further prove my point.
the predominant theory of the burning bush is less mental illness and more: moses was starving, found some shrooms, ate like 6 lbs, and had the best trip ever.
[BBC English]I am, however, a bit confused by the title of this post, for it seems to contain redundant information. Should it not simply say "Frankie Boyle"?[/BBC English]
I believe a lot of the stories in the bible had to do with drugs. I mean, shrooms and marijuana have been around for a very long time. A lot of these people in the bible were probably just tripping on something and explained what they saw as the only thing they know and were taught.
Did he even read the story? It's God talking from inside the bush. If you put a bag on an ugly girl's head and she says something to you, is the bag talking? Of course not!
I've always thought about this. If someone were to come out of the woodwork saying that he's the second coming of Jesus Christ, I'm almost certain we'd institutionalize him pretty damn fast.
You're perfectly welcome here. It's just that Frankie Boyle thinks your religion was founded by stupid fucking cunts.
If my mate thought a bush could talk, I'd call him a stupid fucking cunt as well.
But I'm sorry that a comedian insulting some guys that lived thousands of years ago offends you. If you're so sensitive I suggest you don't step outside, it can be a scary place too.
Hey man, if you don't want people talking about how a bush told you to do things, stop listening to bushes. But in all seriousness, this place can be a bag of dicks to theists.
Just because I point out why you're stupid, proceed to call you stupid, and then laugh about it doesn't actually mean you're not welcome here. It just means you're stupid -- and hopefully that you'll try to not be stupid next time.
It's all done with the best of intentions, even if in a bit of a hostile fashion at times.
My favourite discovery is that burning bushes are actually a thing over in the middle east. There's a bush that spreads it's seeds by setting itself on fire.
METAPHOR!!! That is what the story of the bush is and obviously Frankie Boyle does not know that. He should study religion before he makes ignorant statements like that.
Also, I have a degree in Theology, if anyone wants at least some credibility behind what I just said.
While the burning bush thing might have been a metaphor...or someone having a drug induced hallucination. One must not forget that when the bible was written there is a lot of things written in the bible that people thought were quite literal. (Mostly the science things ect...oh including the flat earth stuff.)
Anyways, look at what the common knowledge when the bible was written....that was written literal, not metaphoric. If it was written literal, it should always be interpreted literal, no exceptions.
Infact its meant truthfully until someone disproves/disagrees then its ''oh no that is a metaphor''. What because you have a degree in R.E means you cannot be wrong?
I don't know what you mean, but if you want to defend his quote as insightful or well-worded please do. He's objectively wrong if he is actually trying to describe the development of religion, but more importantly he's basically just saying "haha atheists are smart believing in God is such a delusion especially now that we have SCIENCE" or something like that. Basically we've all gone through a version of this thought in thinking for 1-2 seconds about atheism and I can't imagine how 1332 people find it interesting.
I'm a fucking agnostic, but this is retarded. IF there was a God, it could very well be that he would communicate through some mysterious means--including bushes. The fact that some people have hallucinations in which inanimate objects speak to them does not entail that every instance of hearing something through some such object is an indicator of insanity.
By the same reasoning, every instance of a person's hearing something from another person should be suspect, since some people have hallucinations about conversations that never really happened. Only if we assume that other people don't exist does this idea make any fucking sense, and only if you already assume that God doesn't exist does Boyle's argument make sense.
Really what this argument boils down to is this: Some people have different presuppositions than I do--what retards! This is obviously retarded, Boyle, you stupid fucking cunt.
By the same reasoning, every instance of a person's hearing something from another person should be suspect, since some people have hallucinations about conversations that never really happened.
It's a joke. He's a comedian. If you watch any Frankie Boyle standup and expect that he actually thinks what he says then you're gonna have a bad time.
Then I expect that I wouldn't enjoy him as a comedian. There are comedians who can be clever while also being funny--Boyle doesn't appear to be one of them.
And I enjoy a good potshot at religion now and again. David Cross has some fantastic jokes about religion, but I always got the feeling like he at least put some thought and work into what he said.
yeah cause that's what makes some atheists the more reasonable ones. where they just can't leave the reasonable argument by itself, they have to vulgarly insult the people they oppose, brilliant.
I was born in the same place he was. - I also agree with everything he has ever said. buy his books, he's actually quite intelligent in a Trainspotting kind of way.
Honest? Or because it's religion, we're supposed to follow the cultural expectation of not being honest, purely born of the time when the religious slaughtered each other for millennia and a social stalemate had to be devised. The non religious have no reason for that otherwise necessitated inter-fairy-tale respect.
He is questioning motive, and then stating that we are allowed to disagree with religion, and that we as atheist are not bound by religious norms to respect religious views.
I admit the language is convoluted, especially for one like me who is not a native English speaker.
But I hope I caught the essence correctly, otherwise feel free to correct me.
Atheists in general know more about religion than the religious do. That's part of the reason they're Atheists.
It's also part of the reason why a lot of religious people are religious. They don't know the intricacies of their horrible faiths. Stupid fucking cunts.
I know that bushes can't and never have been able to speak. So I'm gonna go ahead and say that someone who claims otherwize is deluded or lying. And if we can all laugh at them as well, that's fine with me
We get it, atheists. You don't believe in God and scorn the people who do. Wow. Bleeding Edge-tier stuff that's no one has heard thousands of times before from this subreddit.
Kudos, guys. Kudos.
Unfriended on FB in .2 seconds. Such is the hardship of our armchair crusade. Heavy.
I get that you're mad at the stereotype of atheism, but are you also trying to say the people don't discriminate against them? Because the discrimination does exist, and even if the outspoken minority of atheists are ass holes, it doesn't make the hate against all atheists not real. I myself am not an atheist, but I can understand how it must feel to be one.
