We have added another fuel scam - Fuel360.    Read all about it    here.  <\/p>\n<p>    We have had feedback from people all over the world who    have learned that fuel-saving devices don't work, saving them    thousands of dollars in wasted payments to scammers.  <\/p>\n<p>    Have a look around, and if you want to ask a question, or    get us to investigate a scam, email <a href=\"mailto:alan@immortality.co.nz\">alan@immortality.co.nz<\/a> and    we'll get right on the case!  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    While I love to take on all scams and blatant bullshit, I am    The Atheist, and my prime target is the stupidity, delusion and    bullshit that make up the world's religions.  <\/p>\n<p>    In the year 2016, when science can attempt to create a mini    \"big bang\" at CERN, can replace almost every organ in the human    body with a high degree of success, and can cure cancers that    were deadly only a generation ago, we live in times where    rationality and reason should take precedence over everything    else.  <\/p>\n<p>    Alas, that is not so, and as time marches on, religion is    strengthening its hold on more and more people.  <\/p>\n<p>    Many atheists rejoice in censuses showing decline in the    \"religion\" identifier question, but I believe that is false    hope, as the number of people who attend church has risen    dramatically over the past decade. 40 years ago, almost no    people aged between 18 and 40 went to church, nowadays, they    have overflowing carparks.  <\/p>\n<p>    The impact of these increased numbers - and therefore money and    power - is easy to see if you know where to look. From Family    First to the Maxim Institute, religions have set up fronts as    \"family-focused\" organisations as pressure groups, and because    they're funded by morons giving 10% of their wedge every week,    they ensure they're heard, with an array of fulltime workers    and ring-in \"experts\".  <\/p>\n<p>    Look at the thousands of people who have protested recently    against homosexual & marital laws and non-smacking of    children. \"Spare the rod and you'll spoil the child\" the bible    tells the religionistas and they believe it. You can bet that    every single protestor against anti-smacking laws was a theist    of some description or other. (update August 2012 - note the    current massive spending campaign by Family First against    proposals to allow people of all genders to marry)  <\/p>\n<p>    I will not stand by and watch these deluded wankers have it all    their own way.  <\/p>\n<p>    Some - especially agnostics - people cry about \"evangelical\" or    militant atheism as though it were a bad thing.  <\/p>\n<p>    I say that without the soldiers of atheism being in the faces    of religion, they would seek to destroy more than they already    have. USA is a prime example, where even 87 years after the    Scopes monkey trial, religion is trying to take over school    curricula and replace science with mythology.  <\/p>\n<p>    Other reading on the subject includes     this article from Huffington Post, the best part of which    is not the idiotic, unreferenced and unresearched article    itself, but the comments that follow it and give the true    picture of atheism and religion in USA.  <\/p>\n<p>    The idea that \"new\" atheism is unnecessary or overdone is just    more romantic bullshit from the promoters and apologists for    religion.  <\/p>\n<p>    If you follow the kind of religion like the Anglican Church    promotes, I have no beef with you. If you find that the    delusion of god makes you happy, then I'm happy. It's only when    you try to impose your will on others I get pissed off.  <\/p>\n<p>    But if you're the kind of religionista who feels that the world    must conform to your delusion of a sky-daddy, then the only    thing which separates you from islamist extremist with AK47s is    that you're living in the privileged western world. As Jesus    Camp showed us, even allegedly christian religions have    elements of extremism every bit as spiteful and abusive as the    worst excesses of Wahabiism.  <\/p>\n<p>    I cringe at people whose delusions are so powerful they would    rather watch someone die in agony rather than allow to die with    dignity.  <\/p>\n<p>    You can bet your last buck that the same cruel theist who would    deny euthanasia for a human will be off to the vet to euthanase    a loved pet rather than watch it suffer a lingering, painful    death.  <\/p>\n<p>    Double standards. Love 'em.  <\/p>\n<p>    And for the best help you can find for employment    disputes, seven of the best!  <\/p>\n<p>    onetwothree    four    five    sixseven  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more from the original source: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.immortality.co.nz\/\" title=\"Immortality - The Atheist; scourge of religion and scammers\">Immortality - The Atheist; scourge of religion and scammers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> As of January 2016, the site has been accessed hundreds of thousands of times by people searching for facts about fuel-saving scams and psychics' claims from Sensing Murder in particular.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/immortality\/immortality-the-atheist-scourge-of-religion-and-scammers\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187740],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-immortality"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68704"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68704\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
