hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.

i’ve always loved scary movies, but as witness, you don’t get to watch many since they need to be pg-13 and have no spiritism in it lol.

does anyone have any suggestions?

I like the nonchalance of Constantine (2005), by Francis Lawrence with Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Djimon Hounsou, Tilda Swinton …, where evil is coming towards the City of Angels and our demon hunter averts the imminent hostile take-over of the world by the hosts of hell.

I don't think this film will give anyone a nightmare, except, maybe, the most devout believer. But, maybe I simply do not relate to the conjunction of the two concepts of ′horror′ and ′supernatural′.

So, here's a horror film which dispenses altogether with this supernatural shenanigans:
Orphan (2009) by Jaume Collet-Serra

Human Evolutionary Process In 3 Minutes

by pale.emperor in

saw this great video today showing the evolutionary process of humans in 3 minutes.

the fossil record shows that 400 million years ago our ancestors were a type of fish.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsszn4biwzg.

also, check out the below chart.

cofty - If earth's history was 24 hours, Homo sapiens arrived at twenty-five to midnight.

The earth is about 4.6×10^9 years old, and humans like us (homo sapiens) are around for about 0.3×10^6 years, and 24 hours equal 86400 sec.
So, if earth's history was 24 hours, Homo sapiens arrived at 5.6 sec before midnight.

The 'IN' families

by punkofnice in

one thing i don't miss about being a jobo, is those families that ruled the congregations.. i've seen how the elders protected their own using our old friend, nepotism.. eg.

the son of an elder that stole a car and was prosecuted but 'let off' because it was kept secret and all his relatives were elders in the same congregation.

it certainly went on when i was an elder but i wasn't one of the 'in' crowd.

punkofnice - They all seem so obsessed to a morbid degree with sex.

This reminded me of Stephen Fry's speech in a debate against the Catholic Church where he says (timeIndex 16:21):
" It's a strange thing about this church. It is obsessed with sex, absolutely obsessed. Now, they will say, we with our permissive society and our rude jokes are obsessed; No, we have a healthy attitude, we like it, it's fun, it's jolly, because it's a primary impulse; it can be dangerous and dark and difficult – it's a bit like food in that respect, only even more exciting. The only people, who are obsessed with food, are anorexics and the morbidly obese. And that, in erotic terms, is the Catholic Church in a nutshell."
