hell’s handmaiden

Yesterday, I linked to a post about torture at The Allen Almanac; today Leiter Reports has a piece on the subject. Most of the article is a series of excerpts. I am requoting parts I find interesting and am providing links to the original sources.

The compromise legislation…authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights.

Casey Luskin warns us, “don’t let misleading diagrams in the media make you think that these apes were clear-cut similar ancestors of our genus Homo.”

He’s right. We shouldn’t be misled by pictures that appear in the media. Those pictures, diagrams and explainations are often just plain wrong, and are almost always massively oversimplified. Fortunately for scientists, scientists don’t base their conclusions on things that appear in the Associated Press. There are these things called peer-reviewed journals, which scientists use to gather information and which have a somewhat higher standard of evidence than do newspapers.

Given the title of this blog, I feel a bit compelled to keep tabs on the state of the underworld. Let’s explore shall we? But be warned:

We’re going to examine the place the Bible calls hell. We’ll present documented evidence for a place called hell. Don’t take what you’re going to read lightly. If what you read is true — YOU COULD BE IN SERIOUS DANGER!

The Truth About Hell

Hell is REAL, you see. A doctor says so. And doctors know stuff! When a doctor says that no one could “doubt for a single minute that he was actually in a place called hell!”, what are you going to do? I mean, this is a doctor, man! Doctors know stuff!

One of my favorite people on the web has a powerful post up on his site. First he quotes from a Reddit comment thread…

Then suddenly, water hits your head, streams into your mouth and nose, icy cold as if it’s come from a freezer. You can’t breathe, breathe anyway, cough hard, convulse, but your body can’t bend over and the pain in your stomach is unbearable. Your retch but nothing comes up, and more water hits your face while someone laughs at you. You try to breathe but swallow water and then, finally, you throw up, the taste of your own stomach smeared over your face, running into your eyes inside the bag over your head. The water stops and all you do is scream and scream and scream for mercy, your own sick all over, your piss running down towards you while the world spins and spins and spins.

New evidence confirms pretty much what was expected.

Could this be the end of evolution as we know it?
