Favorites are the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the Book of Mormon. It's hard to believe that people still actually believe the latter....same as with the Qu'ran, actually...both frauds. And while the trumped-up charges against the Jews are despicable, as that article mentions, it's terrifying that

Quote:

Interestingly, many of the protocols aims have been achieved. For example: Universal suffrage, wide acceptance of pornography, the spread of Darwinism, Socialism, and Materialism.

Ah, death knell for our society, keep ringing....except for the universal suffrage part. That seems only just to my understanding.

I had heard of most of those. Though I never heard of the Book of Mormon being a hoax- any more than any other holy text, anyway. I won't go any further because the damned guild has a "Protestant-Friendly" rule.

As for the Qur'an being a hoax (anymore than the Bible), what sort of evidence do you have?

...and did you really just associate universal suffrage and darwinism with anti-semitism?

What about scientology?

My favorite is the Fiji Mermaid.

The quote she used is from the link. Number nine is about the Protocol of the Elders of Zion. So, universal suffrage and darwinism are goals of the Jewish and masonic conspiracy for world domination, and anti-semitics oppose those things. (Paraphrasing the article)

XD I don't think you read the whole article.

hm...yeah...if you read the articles, you will understand the context. I think that'll help a lot.

For Mormonism and Islam's veracity, these excerpts (page 2 and 3 specifically) will help you get started. And before you get started on a whirl of "ooooo ef yew beleeves DESE holy books aint right, yew must beleeves YOR holy book aint right!!", let's just say that proving A and B are wrong does not mean C is therefore wrong. I'm sorry if I am rude, but I really don't want to get into that fallacy. And, while I don't like Christopher Hitchens particularly, he neatly sums up what we already knew about those religions.

I misunderstood. My bad.

As for the link to the Christopher Hitchens article, I skimmed it and got the jist of it. Definitely sounds suspicious... I can't say I'm too surprised, though I didn't know how bad Islam was. Just look how many times they lost their scripture.

I'm not going to get into an argument over whether Christianity is also a hoax, as I'll get b& for not being politically correct, or something. (Ironic joke) Or, to put this better, I'd like to request permission from the management first.
