No doubt when modesty was made a virtue, it was a very advantageous thing for the fools; for everybody is expected to speak of himself as if he were one. -Schopenhauer Thu, 3 Jul 2008 23:10:34 -0000 Thu, 3 Jul 2008 11:39:45 -0000 joshua's Site http://images.joshualipana.multiply.com/logo http://joshualipana.multiply.com 100 100 Refuge 1 and 2 Well I'm just bored so here is Refuge 1 a group formed I think after our little trip to zambalez.

George Carlin's dead. It really just breaks my heart. What sucks is as I write these I'm listening to the song blurry by puddle of mud and its just making me so much sadder. I start to listen to dashboard by modest mouse when the song and the pain of Carlin's death just becomes too much to handle. Well that's all for now I need to read more stuff about George.

To:Norm     I tried to write about the inquisition. Nothing in religion makes my blood boil more. I tried to make an article. I researched and... You dig and you dig and the atrocities just become more awful. I just dont have the heart to make an article about the Inquistion I've written a few stuff but I cannot capture the torment that this movement has brought. The torture's the mass killings. The ignorance of the people now who have no idea that what their supporting commited such heinous crime. I just get more disheartened each time i dig deeper into this. I want people to know so badly what these people have done. If you could norm. I would love to see an article from about the Inquisition make it as long as you want. I just need people to know that this is what they are helping.         Sincerely,   Joshua Lipana http://joshualipana.multiply.com/journal/item/10/My_letter_to_Norm_Allen...

Any way the meeting started out well I loathed what was being preached but was not offended until the minister(Former VP of apple 85-92) told stories about non-believers....He portrayed us as being untrustworthy and that we should be marginalized It was at this point that he's bigotry finally enraged me. I waited... And waited... And finally when it was time to submit questions I asked "What is your opinion on Jerry Falwell?"  Here was the dialogue Minister: No thanks! Joshua: Come on! Minister: Is this a joke? Joshua: No! Its very serious! Minister: Well he was a follower of jesus and he built the moral majority to protect themselves from bullying by a small minority, I like him he defended his faith and fought for it.

At the start of the campaign I was a big supporter of hillary because i really thought Bill Clinton's presidency was one of the best.  I was a big fan of the top people in the Clinton administration. But Obama just gave one inspiring speech after another no one could withstand the bombardment of this kind he was inspirational he won me over eventually. But as I am somewhat Machiavellian I enjoyed seeing the true colors of the Clinton's I loved them for playing dirty once and a while and I do believe the Clinton's would have been better for the Dems but I'm glad that Obama got is as well I saw some of he's history in Illinois as a senator and he can play dirty when needed as well. But lets be honest... The Clinton's would have crushed McCain. Lets just hope Obama can keep his momentum to the general election. I like McCain and i agree with the Reps foreign policy.

I was one of the first batches of people to be able to board the Rainbow Warrior in the philippines.The Rainbow Warrior is the Flagship Boat of green peace. I was fortunate enough to be able to meet some of its crew and the ship's captain. The first rainbow warrior was launched in 1978. It was bombed by the french Secret Service somewhere in the 1980's they relaunched it sometime in the 90's This was a wonderful day for me this ship's been through so much everywhere in the world its been shot at by governenments its been boarded by soldiers and its been captured a few times as well. Its a piece of history. Its journey's are legendary. And its not yet over the Rainbow warrior will be here until people who cherish the environment are around. I'd like to give a big thanks to GreenPeace for letting me be a part of such a magnifecent day and for letting me board a piece of history. Thank you very much. http://joshualipana.multiply.com/photos/album/21/GreenPeace_Rainbow_Warrior Sun, 1 Jun 2008 07:18:13 -0000 Me, Isabel and some other old photos The title says it http://joshualipana.multiply.com/photos/album/20/Me_Isabel_and_some_other_old_photos Mon, 26 May 2008 17:46:33 -0000 God is not Great (How Religion poisons everything) God is not Great is one of the most well written books i have ever read. Although Dawkins, Harris and other authors of books with the same spirit have more information and depth. This is the most passionate of all of them. I recommend this to all people with anti-religious positions and anyone who wants a good read. Its also interesting to see hitchen's wit and essence in the book. Buy it and read http://joshualipana.multiply.com/reviews/item/1 Tue, 20 May 2008 16:54:27 -0000 Fuckin Creationist scum It seems the The idiots who still espouse creationism are up to their dirty tricks again recently they edited an interview with the brilliant author and scientist Richard Dawkins to make him look like he got stumpped by their questions. Well all I have to say is Fuck you Creationist Ministries International and everyone else who participated in this act. Fuck you all. You people are preaching something that has absolutely no scientific support.. Your all idiots.    Scientific beliefs are supported by evidence, and they get results. Myths and faiths are not and do not.   -Richard Dawkins http://joshualipana.multiply.com/journal/item/5/Fuckin_Creationist_scum Mon, 19 May 2008 12:27:05 -0000 A debate on War Last sunday towards the end of our atheist league meeting when it was me poch and john left me and poch had a little exchange of ideas. I agreed with the foreign policies of the bush administration and past american interventionist policies while poch disagreed vehemently. Poch saw america as a corrupt superpower which spreads war while i looked at it as the leader of the free world and the spreader of democracies. Take note we are both atheist's.

Has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world -Bertrand Russell If ever people do decide to examine the history of the Christian religion people would realize that in almost every social issue the church has always been consistently against progress they were for slavery, against woman’s rights, against science medicine and proper education. It is starling to see that so many people have forgotten the exploits of the church century’s back. The crusades where hundreds of thousands of people were killed including their own soldiers which were sometimes made up of children because the pope wanted a piece of land back.
