Friends O' the Sift
What is a cult? The definition is difficult and elusive. It's nigh impossible to define just what is a cult without encompassing all organized religion. Many of us may in fact subscribe to that particular definition, but for the purposes of this Sift Channel we'll loosely use the following: "a quasi-religious group, often living in a colony, with a charismatic leader who indoctrinates members with unorthodox or extremist views, practices or beliefs"- Webster's New World College Dictionary.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult for more information.

The Christian Alternative to Hating Those Who Are Different
So you mean "up" there tangentially above your head? Is God in a fixed orbit somehow? Do you really mean "out there" but that sounds too UFOlogist for you? Is heaven some fifth century concept to you of anything you see at night when you look upwards? Wouldn't it make more sense to at least pretend heaven is another dimension that can only be seen and experience by good Christians when they die?

BansheeX, that's the whole point. BillO's in character.
How can you say "Fake account"? OF COURSE it is. I mean, I'm not a tooth wearing a hat, seriously. This isn't facebook, people can use pseudonyms, and dag might be a 10 year old girl. You don't know for sure, and don't want to know.
If you interpret anything he says seriously, you will be upset.
If you understand he's playing the ROLE (also known as "role playing") of Bill O rather than trying to piss you off, you will find it much more amusing.
Krupo, don't bother trying to point out the obvious to some of these sad, clueless folks. I mean the name and avatar isn't good enough for them to get it. Heck half of the all-powerful clique still don't get it. They think Westy is real, and QM is some evil they must deal with. Don't ruin my fun by edumacating them.
Finding electricity when there is a blackout
Ok, so the local loop is about 20mA to 50mA fixed current and about 1kohm of loop resistance. All the phones used to be fully powered by the phone line, including some with glowing number keys. Modern cordless phones obviously need plugged into the wall because they use way more than a few mA. In fact, the charging of the batteries is way more then that.
You could probably steal enough power from the phone lines to run something like an LED lamp. Maybe even your iPod. But you are not using the phone line for the proper purposes and are definitely breaking some laws. Also in a power outage you could be dropping the local area phone line up to the transformers to a dangerously low level and making it hard for others to use the phone to do such things as call 9-1-1.
Buy some candles you freaks.

I'm sorry but this is more of snuff then stupid highway crash videos.
You pull a video because reportedly someone died in a massive highway wreck, but this video is ok????
*election08 --> *elections (Election08 Talk Post)
anything "election" is now "politics" or even worldaffairs
If someone wants to make a playlist for election related videos that would work until the next election2010 or really election2012
The number of election videos from non-election years is very (very) small.
Technically, the election08 invocation should be disabled and those in the channel are sort of legacy giant playlist.

$1000 Dollars To Any Atheist Who Can Prove A Negative
Anyone read this total bullsh-t challenge? What kind of coward makes these bold claims of reward to anyone who can answer the questions and then does this:
Ok, so your contest will never be "official".. bravo.
1. To receive the $5,300, you must answer the question(s) without contradicting yourself.
define "contradict".
6. All responses cost $1.00. This cost is not to generate revenue but rather to curb excessive and superfluous responses.
Ok, nice challenge. Surely they will receive thousands of entries to their bullsh-t challenge. So they aren't even putting up their own money. BUt I agree it is helpful to limit entries especially if people have to read them.
11. Only one $5,300 prize will be allotted. This prize will go to the first individual who can answer the question(s) below without contradicting him or herself.
Ok, again is it first one submitted? First one submitted after the contest becomes "official". What lying cowards.
8. At the top of your response, please state your ultimate epistemological authority... You must be extremely specific when stating your ultimate epistemological authority. That is, you will need to explicitly tell us the one religious text or the one living person that you consider to be ultimately authoritative.
How is this a challenge to atheists or agnostics??? Also, the rules state:
If in your submission, you give ultimate authority to any other living person other than yourself, your submission will be automatically invalidated, and you will lose your $1.00.
So by definition of the contest you must state the ONE religious text you follow. What kind of morons are these? Note that the "Bible" is not in fact one religious text even.
Now the questions immediately invalidate the contest because you cannot answer them all by definition without contradiction. They only apply to different belief systems.
Question 1 & 2
These two questions are for the atheist, postmodernist, or any individual who thinks that man constructs his truth rather than discovers a transcendent truth outside of himself.
Question 3
This next question is for the agnostic, for anyone who does not hold to a formal system of thought, for anyone who holds himself to be ultimately authoritative, or for any non-Christian who believes that truth is discovered rather than constructed ... Please note that this question pertains to all individuals who believe in a god, but their belief stems from their own mind, rather than from some divinely revealed text.
Question 4
This question is for the Hindu, the Buddhist, or any adherent of an (eastern) religion that denies the existence of propositional truth on an ultimate level.
Question 5
This next question is for any adherent of Islam, Roman Catholicism, Judaism, Mormonism, Jehovah Witness, or any monotheistic religion which possesses an authoritative text (or revelation) that claims its (infinite) God has characteristics of justice and mercy.
This is the biggest joke and exercise in mental masturbation. By the contest's own rules even the Christian author of the challenge has failed and cannot collect the money. I'm glad God decided to smote this charlatan
There are so many things wrong in this situation
Now I think it was bat-shit insane to spray water on to the vat of oil or on to the blanket. And some kid was walking around with the freaking pot lid, why was that not used???
