Wayne Bent AKA Michael Travesser: False Prophet

Friday, October 17th, 2008

This is one of the more disturbing things I’ve seen lately. Wayne Bent, called Michael Travesser by the members of his sect, the Lord Our Righteousness Church, predicted the end of the world to come at midnight October 31, 2007. His story fits right in with the many other modern-day false prophets I’ve blogged about [...]

Potholer54 Debunks: Atheists Are Immoral

Monday, August 11th, 2008

YouTuber potholer54, author of the excellent “Made Easy” video series obliterates a limp canard still trotted out by self-righteous believers.
I have expounded upon my own creeds numerous places including The Book of Ironwolf, Year of the Inspired Atheist, and Good Without God.

Paul Cohen and Victor Hafichuk Are Shown the Cold Side of a Warm Door

Friday, July 25th, 2008

A final exchange with those prophets of FAIL, Paul and Victor.
Previously: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Robert,
Whether you score a 6 or a 60, without justification you have played the part of an antagonistic, caustic adversary. In other words, in the vernacular of our day, you are acting like an asshole. We don’t need a [...]

Paul Cohen and Victor Hafichuk Check on My Progress

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Today my inbox received another shining example of Christian Love from Paul Cohen. (Can you shine a turd?) Paul is second-in-command to “God’s anointed” and snake-oil huckster Victor Hafichuk. Paul also appears to be in charge of Victor’s Department of Failed Curses.
Our previous exchanges: Part 1 Part 2

Robert,
How is your tongue, now that your specified [...]

The Juju Curse of Paul Cohen and Victor Hafichuk

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Ah, nothing this evil ever dies easily. Today I received the following cursed e-mail (Arrr!) from Victor Hafichuk’s tweedledum, Paul Cohen. Apparently even though Victor agreed to shut up he didn’t apply that decision to Paul, who still wants to make a buffoon of himself.
Robert, Paul Cohen here.
We have dealt with many religious vipers. You [...]

Idiots to Avoid: Victor Hafichuk and Paul Cohen

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

The following is provided as a service to those searching the web for information on these guys, and who might be inclined to risk a few IQ points interacting with them. It is an e-mail exchange I recently had with Victor Hafichuk and Paul Cohen, two apparently inseparable buddies with beards who sell organic food [...]

Dead can Dance: Fortune Presents Gifts Not According to the Book

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
When you expect whistles, it’s flutes
When you expect flutes, it’s whistles
What various paths are followed in distributing honors and possessions
She gives awards to some and penitents’ cloaks to others
When you expect whistles, it’s flutes
When you expect flutes, it’s whistles
Sometimes she robs [...]

Carl Orff: O Fortuna

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first [...]

Rush: Roll the Bones

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Well, you can stake that claim—
Good work is the key to good fortune
Winners take that praise
Losers seldom take that blame
If they don’t take that game
And sometimes the winner takes nothing
We draw our own designs
But fortune has to make that frame
We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s [...]
