I read a particularly interesting blurb in my developmental psychology text today. It was referring to a controversy once surrounding the psychology journal, "Psychology Bulletin" back in 1998. Researchers (Rind and colleagues (1998) published a meta-analysis they had done looking at the ramifications of childhood sexual abuse in college students who had at one point or another experienced the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.
After analyses of the data was examined, researchers concluded, "Self-reported reactions to and effects from child sexual abuse indicated that negative effects were neither pervasive nor typically intense..."
In basic english, this means that researchers were essentially concluding that: there were few, if any, problems related to childhood sexual abuse.
Obviously this lead to a huge up roar of rage from the public as well as the US government, and even disapproval from the scientific community. Psychology Bulletin (which is a pretty distinguished an respected scientific journal) and the American Psychological Association (APA) got a lot of heat for publishing the article. And even more horrifying was the plethora of pedophilia websites that cited the article as "proof" that having sex with children was not bad.
The APA did not back down. They continued to defend the research, and "academic freedom." What they did however, was provide a significant amount of space in the Psychology Bulletin for published commentaries that disputed and in many cases, blatantly proved the illegitimacy of the research findings.
Now although I will never deny the importance of academic freedom, there is also something called the ethical code, which states that researchers MUST be cautious with how they present and interpret their research findings. Not only was Rind and colleagues' article abundant with methodological limitations which were not thoroughly addressed (like a biased sample, unstandardized variables, a myriad of statistical errors, ect...), but the authors clearly violated the ethical code stating that research findings must be presented in an accurate manner to prevent misinterpretation by others (particularly laypeople)!!!
Now the simple fact that authors (following the huge negative response by the public and scientific community) began double-talking their asses off to try and regain any legitimacy in their research is clear indication that authors obviously did not present their findings objectively enough, while at the same time keeping in mind the overwhelming methodological and procedural limitations of their study.
From a research standpoint, the title of one of the commentaries sums it up best I think, "Sex with children is Abuse" It's as simple as that. And there are a whole shit load of WELL-DESIGNED longitudinal studies that have demonstrated just this: that early childhood sexual abuse is consistently and reliably associated with later psychological and social problems later on in life.
In my opinion, I think its a complete travesty that the article was even approved for publication, because although I sincerely believe in academic freedom, this is a clear-cut case where the benefits of the findings (in addition to being poorly executed) definitely do not outweigh the harmful outcomes caused by their publication.
Until next time...

What a pity
@prime440 You're an idiot on so many levels. Why don't you take a break from you're christian supremacy standpoint, and try to educate yourself on 1) what atheism actually means and the set of beliefs associated with it. And 2) Everything else, because I think you're still living in the past, and I digress from even attempting to put logic, reason, and objectivity into the mind of a 48 year old who has already solidified their views and opinions permanently. Peace.
This is the final message that I sent to the neanderthal, which failed to be delivered because I was blocked from responding to that particular video anymore. What a beautiful way to reaffirm my earlier points about christians: "Believe in what we tell you, or be an outcast" In this case, don't argue against us, or we'll block you. Not only was I blocked from replying to that dumbass's response (who btw, is the one who initiated the debate only to shy away from confrontation by blocking me from his channel afterward...pathetic), but the person (another dumbass under the name of "rosaryfilms") blocked me from accessing his channel to message him in general.
Now I may be wrong, but in my eyes, if Christians were really 100% sure about what they believe to be god, and his holier-than-tho son jesus christ, not only would they not back away from discussions about the contrary, but they would feel sorry for us (referring to atheists). Pity. Pity would dignify some sort of overwhelming, unbreakable belief in god.
However, I have NEVER once in my life, come across a christian (or muslim for that matter) who showed this type of strength in their beliefs, without first becoming ridiculously enraged. The pattern goes: The discussion ensues, myself answering questions with evidence coming from studies or calculations, and christians quoting phrases from the bible, which is hilarious needless to say, since they seem hellbent on ignoring the obvious atrocities, incest, rape, torture, and sodomy that oh so often appears in the bible (and a hell of a lot more so in the laughable excuse for a text that is the koran). Then after a while of discussion, when they seem to have lost the majority of their jesus covered ammo, they resort to calling attention to the "ridiculousness of the idea of evolution and how we believe we came from apes" ect... All the while ignoring the tons of evidence there is supporting the SCIENTIFIC theory of evolution (refer to http://www.youtube.com/user/ZOMGitsCriss#p/u/2/8nTnjx-JRzE for more information), and not to mention the big bang theory. And when you try to explain to them these points, christians drown you out by accusing atheists of simply being attracted to satanist temptations (again ignoring the fact that the absence of a belief in god that is characteristic of atheism would also include an absence of a belief in satan or hell for that matter). Then when you try to elaborate on these basic points, they erupt in anger, and resort to calling you every bad name they could think of, each having nothing to do with the discussion whatsoever. Leading you to sigh, and walk away.
Thanks jesus, for all that confidence =)
Atheists, never be afraid or ashamed to blaspheme. It is a very important ritual which can ground you once again into reality and the mere fact that jesus (as well as muhammad, and other deities held up on a pedestal) were simply charismatic leaders, human beings, that imposed their beliefs on others for some external purpose. And oh how well it has worked. And I sincerely hold true that both can fully kiss my ass.

Coercing Morality
I don't know what it was about today that really got people down, but I was getting cut eye, and attitude left right and center from everybody at work today.
My reading list is causing me to have split second panic attacks every now and then. The one thing that I can honestly say about university is that it put my reading for pleasure on an excruciating halt. I will be immensely glad to be rid of the overwhelming need to read textbooks only once I'm done in ....only a few weeks. Cannot wait.
I had an experience with a jesus following neanderthal today, and it is continuing. I don't want to feed these people's ignorance, but I can't stop responding to this dumbass. He stance is that the idea of a secular government will send society into a chaotic uproar, which is completely FALSE! Its been said before, but I'm saying it again, the biggest downfall of humanity has been the hijacking of morality by religion. And it is a damn tragedy. People can't even imagine any other way so they immediately associate any atheist that comes there way with an avid satan worshiper who wants anything but peace....*sigh* Needless to say, I don't think people who have this opinion have any grasp on what being an atheist actually means, but I digress.
I am an atheist. Am I tearing people's heads off? Am I eating people's flesh, and stabbing whoever pisses me off? No. OMG then I MUST be following jesus' way or life. No you dumbass, I am a 22 year old competent person who has morals. Morality remains. Even after religion. You do not need a fucking book to tell you basic moral guidelines such as "hmm I shouldn't shoot this person in the face, because it would probably hurt and kill them, and also anyone could do the same thing to me if they wanted, and I don't want that, because I don't want to die." Ok great. I will not shoot the person. Thanks Jesus.
Consider this analogy:
You are walking along, and you see an elderly man holding a a large sum of shopping bags. He trips on a rock and the bags, along with the elderly man, fall to the ground.
Now a person sees this and immediately helps the man up, and tries to salvage what could be salvaged of the shopping bags, because they wanted to.
Same scenario: A person helps the elderly man because they are offered $500 if he/she helps.
Same scenario: A person helps the old man because he/she knows that there are snipers in the roofs of the buildings around them that will shoot at this person if he/she does not help the old man.
All three of these people helped the old man, and I'm sure that the old man was grateful for the help by each of them. But who's help would be the most meaningful and based on genuine morality out of all three people:
The person deciding to help just because they were in the same place as the old man, and wanted to help? OR the other two who were essentially coerced into helping the old man so that they could avoid punishment or gain a reward?
I hope this analogy and how it relates to that dumbass's claim (that society would be chaos if religion -specifically christianity- did not have some part in government or the legal system) is clear enough. The moral is (no pun intended): Morality remains. Even in the absence of religion.
And as some anonymous voice poignantly exclaimed, "Morality is doing what is right no matter what you're told, whereas religion is doing what you are told no matter what is right."
Peace.

Starsailor
A piece I finished while I should have been working on my paper:
I awoke in a burst of fiery
sparks engulfed my very skin
I had been living life but just barely
equating faith with fitting in
I never thought as others thought
so I kept quiet and said not one thing
stars above are what I truly sought
not some god who made everything
For months, I read about the skies
each word glued itself to me
finally I embraced their webs of lies
I wanted deeply to make them see
But when I told them what I had found
they all laughed and called it a phase
and pretty soon, I won't mind the sound
for reason showed the holes in their case
All their beliefs stem from grief and fear
but they will kill to silence this voice
science and reason, they will not hear
since their religion gives no choice
Consider the question of wrong and right
is religion needed to distinguish the two?
to tell you not to kill, steal, or fight?
of course not, for morality lives within you
Now you know how science saved my life
when I felt alone and didn't know what to do
not god, but love of reason healed my strife
imagine no religion and it can heal you too
because lets face it, "faith: is not wanting to know what is true"

As predicted...
Like I predicted, hitchhikers guide movie "ruined" the book for my sister, in her words. And like I predicted, she wished that she had listened to me and never watched it. Good news is that you tend you forget about the terrible casting, and script changing massacre that occurred in the movie once you delve deeper into the series, so she does not seem too discouraged thankfully.
"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."

Events
So my sister is an awesome being because she just nabbed two tickets to the toronto-habs game for april 9-their last game before the playoffs. And holy shit am I excited. But of course I can't be excited for an extended length of time without having something else looming over me. This is my final exams, which OF COURSE have to be scheduled on the 9th and 13th of April. BUT exam is from 12-2 and game doesn't start until 7. My plan is: studying 10x longer before the 9th (for both exams at once), write exam, go to game, leave at 6am the next day because I don't live in toronto, and study for the remaining 3 days for my next exam on the 13th. This is the plan. Whether I actually stick to it or not is dependent on a myriad of factors in addition to the inconsistencies of my moods. But this game's very important, because it is montreal, and because it is toronto. (also the spectacular $200+ seats dont hurt either).
In more serious news, I would like to mention the increasing number of lives that were lost in Japan today as a result of the 8.5 scale earthquake and subsequent tsunami. I hope that Japan gets all the help that they need to re-build their cities that were devastated by the disaster, and salvage what was lost once the waters recede.
Now I am off to watch the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy with my sister (who has never seen it, so its her first time), and I am a little anxious. I made her start reading the books recently, and she is almost finished the restaurant at the end of the universe, and LOVES the series (as I suspected she would because we are a lot alike lol). But I do not want to tarnish the images of the characters and setting that she has in her head by showing that movie (which I thought was a terrible adaptation of the book like almost every film adaptation of a book in human history), but she cannot be talked out of it. Believe me, I've tried.

On the Topic of "Respect"
So what I have noticed from talking to people close to me is they all seem to point to one huge criticism they have that I am not respecting people's opinions and beliefs about religion and such. Now this kind of got me down, because I really pride myself on trying my best to understand and put myself in other people's position. But in all honesty, they are mostly right. I don't have respect for many of the fundamental guidelines of the major religions, or people that follow them religiously (no pun intended)....and why would I? When you look up the definition of respect, the same word that keeps popping up is "esteem"-having esteem for such and such. In a nutshell the word respect denotes showing consideration or appreciation for something/belief/ect.... So in reference with that definition, hell no I most certainly do not have respect for Religion, which is why I say the things that I say, and its why I write the things that I write.
Another reason is the mere fact that it is my view and my thought, and I have the right to express it. All over facebook for example, I find people promoting their views I do not agree with: People posting daily quotes from the bible, people arguing about how stupid vegetarianism/veganism is, people making really hurtful homosexual slurs, ect. And I am not crying over it, or silently messaging them that they should "respect other people's opinions." Why? Because they want to express themselves, because expressing yourself and something you are passionate about (for me, atheism, evolution, freedom of speech) FEELS GOOD. Am I not entitled to express myself and my views like everyone else? Should I be silenced because I'm hurting your feelings? Tough, deal with it. Say what you want about my views, it wont phase me because I am secure in them, which is way more than I can say about most religious fanatics.
I used to live in this polite box where I believed I should keep my disbelief quiet and show respect for other people's beliefs no matter how fucked up I thought they were, and I can tell you straight up with no hesitation, after reading and reviewing some of the fundamental groundwork of Islam, Judaism and Christianity, I was WRONG! Clear cut. Hell no, I have no respect for those beliefs. Respect cannot be generalized like that. If a guy came up to you and said "I hate black people, because white people are superior, and I think all black people should be forced to live on one continent away from all the white people," are you going to reply, "Oh well sir, I disagree but I respect your opinion." FUCK NO! Assuming you are not a fellow douche bag yourself, you will probably respond by saying, "You racist prick, get the fuck out of my face before I stab you in the eye."
In similar taste, why the hell should I respect a religion that denotes homosexuality as demonic and sinful? Why should I respect a religion that equates women as being nothing more but the "brickwork in hell"? Why would I respect the opinion of an asshole that believes he has the right to physically abuse his wife whenever he deems necessary because his holy prophet said it was okay? Why would I respect a religion that teaches the earth is less than 14,000 years old? Why the fuck would I respect a religion that presented gang rape, sodomy, and homicide of a women as a religious experience? I could go on....
So, am I supposed to just give respect to anyone who agrees with these things or supports a religion that houses them? Just because its their religious belief/opinion? Should I just stay quiet and fake respect and appreciation for opinions or beliefs even if I wholly and fundamentally disagree with them? Because I'm pretty sure thats called hypocrisy, kids.
So no, I will definitely not be hiding the fact that I have zero respect for any organized religion that I personally see as being malign to society, the world, and in most cases clearly violates basic human rights. So I will continue to post as I learn more and more about the the topic, and other relevant topics that fascinate/annoy me.
I highly recommend and urge others with like opinions to not be scared, and speak up. This lingering taboo that surrounds talking about religion needs to be put to bed, once and for all.
And let me just clarify, yes I DO want people to hear what I am saying and take my opinion into consideration. But I am NOT just looking for mindless nods and "respect." It's not like I'm fucking stopping muslims on the street and laughing in their faces. Its not like I'm preaching atheism in a church. This is my blog (just like my facebook page is MY facebook page). If you happen to stumble upon either of them and get really insulted or pissed at my "beliefs," then don't read my blog. Better yet, get off the fucking internet.
