Obama Thanks Satan – Strange, but True! – according to LuvWorkingAtHome

Oh my goodness, it’s “Paul is dead” all over again. For those who are old enough, remember the rumors about playing a particular Beatles' song backwards and hearing that Paul was dead? Well, here we go again! Only now, the theory goes that Barack Obama is a satan worshipper and, if you play his “Yes we can” speeches backwards, he is clearly saying “Thank you satan.”

LuvWorkingAtHome, who has disabled her comment section on YouTube and also refuses to respond to anyone who doesn’t agree with her, has a new video out that demonstrates the evilness of Obama, according to her. She has taken a couple of videos in which he says “Yes we can” and recorded them with her Windows Sound Recorder. Then she plays them in reverse so we all can hear the devil worship, “Thank you satan” coming from Obama’s mouth.

Now, here’s the thing. If she would look at this situation logically, which is an impossibility for Luv, she’d realize that you cannot get “Thank you satan” from the reverse sounds of “Yes we can.” Backwards, it becomes “nac ew sey” by just spelling alone. Now, let’s add the pronunciation.

“Nac” is pronounced just as you see it. In some places in the video, “can” is extended a little, so it’s comes out “caaan” or, in reverse, “naaac.” “We” does sound like “you” in reverse. The word “yes” is a little problematic in that it does sound like “ee-yes,” particularly in the videos that Luv has chosen. So, backwards, it sounds like “sey-ee.” Altogether, we’ve got “Nac you seyee” or “Naaac you seyee.” Without looking at Luv’s cues that popped up everytime the suspect phrase is uttered, I simply heard “Nac you seyee,” which is a far cry from “Thank you satan.” You have to really want to hear “Thank you satan” in order to hear it.

I’m not sure why Luv dislikes Obama so much. My working theory is that he’s more popular than Jesus is right now and she can’t deal with that. Hence, Obama must be in league with the devil. Oh well - Long live Paul! Long live Obama! Yes we can! And nac you seyee! Hmm, isn’t that some form of Elvish?

YouTube and the Users

For those of you who know Thunderf00t (if there is anyone out there reading this), he has been suspended from YouTube for 2 weeks for uploading this video. His video was removed as a "violation of the guidelines." No one knows which guideline he supposedly violated. In any event, to add my support, here is the video, mirrored by dprjones.

CAD - Dastardly Stubborn Mean IV Revised

Is Gay a Gift From God?

According to EPP706 on YouTube, the answer is no. EPP is right, but for the wrong reason. There is no God. Being gay cannot be a gift from something that does not exist. However, let’s examine EPP’s reasoning, shall we?

EPP heads straight (excuse the pun) to the Bible verses that state that homosexuality is an abomination. But wait, she then states that “everyone that is born is truly a gift from God.” Hmm, maybe she thinks gays are hatched? No, she then states “What an individual does and the choices that he or she makes, now, that’s another story. That’s a whole totally different thing.” Here comes the best part, “If gay is a gift from God, then I look at it like this – murderers, rapists, molesters, robbers, thieves, they are gifts from God too. All of these individuals have one thing in common, and that is choice. All of these individuals also have another thing in common, and that is that they are being controlled by evil, demonic, diabolical spirits. Well, people who are gay chose to be gay. They chose to be gay. And some will debate me on that and say, oh, they were born that way. I don’t believe that. I never have and I never will. No little baby comes into this world saying I’m going to be gay when I grow up.” 

Well, there are a number of problems that I can see here. 

1. Everyone is a gift from God, but only if one doesn’t choose that which EPP does not agree. I mean, according to the Bible, God thought many things were abominations, but I bet you EPP wears leather and clothes woven with more than one type of fiber. She’s probably against slavery, which God and Jesus condoned. 

2. Providing no proof at all, EPP opines that being gay is a choice, and she will never waiver on this. How very open-minded of her. 

3. Gays, who harm no one, are no different than murderers, rapists, molesters, and thieves, who do harm others. Does anyone else find this as offensive as I do? 

4. There are no evil, demonic, diabolical spirits, just like there is no God. There are, however, evil diabolical people. Some religious people come to mind – not all, but some. 

5. Gay people can tell EPP what it is like to be gay. They can explain that they were born that way. Apparently, EPP knows better. She knows it’s a choice. She offers no proof though. 

6. “No little baby comes into this world saying I’m going to be gay when I grow up.” Well, they wouldn’t, would they? That would make it a choice on their part, which it isn’t. Basically, by trying to be smart, EPP tripped over her own thoughts. 

Okay, basically, I responded in EPP’s comment section as best I could within the 500 characters allowed, but I’ve received no response. No surprises there. I finally looked back at the previous comments and found the following comments by EPP706:

“Homosexuality is not natural. Sodomy is not natural. The rectum was not made for a penis to enter, only for waste to exit. That in itself is enough to know that it is not natural. 
I'm not hear to prove anything only to speak the truth. There is a big difference in people loving others and then people engaging in sexual behavior that is simply not natural.” 

I guess no one told EPP that heterosexuals can also perform sodomy and that gays can do other things than sodomy. And does this mean that lesbianism is okay? It’s not really possible to perform sodomy unless they use a contraption of some sort, which I don’t think most do. I could be wrong here. I’m sure EPP will educate me with her vast knowledge on the subject, if she ever reads this. Also note, she’s not hear [sic] to prove anything, only to speak the truth. How does she know the truth without actually researching anything beyond the Bible? 

In response to someone stating: Can you not see your bigotry here? No one chooses to be born gay, no one chooses to be born Black, and neither category says anything about a person's character. But racists and homophobes both use the Bible to prove that gays and Blacks are bad, as they did with slavery.

EPP wrote: “Please, don't compare being born black to being born gay, there is NO comparison. Being Gay is definitely NOT the new black and I am appalled that people have the audacity to compare being born black to being gay. I did not choose to be black and I could never change my skin color, even if I tried, it is in my DNA, but a gay person can always change and turn from the homosexual lifestyle. Enough said! 

She’s appalled, ladies and gentlemen, at the audacity of the questioner to compare being born gay to being born black. However, EPP is quite comfortable in equating gays to murderers, rapists, molesters, and thieves. I so love the hypocrisy of it! Pot, kettle, black (no pun intended).

Christian Hypocrisy

LuvWorkingAtHome has a new video up entitled “Being Called Uncle Tom Is a Compliment.” Luv has now read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe and is full of praise of the book. Let me be clear right now that I, for once, happen to agree with Luv. However, what I find truly fascinating is her statement, “This book raised the awareness of the cruelty and evil of slavery.” Again, while I agree with Luv’s statement, she does not seem to realize the hypocrisy of it when one considers many of Luv’s other videos. 

Here’s an example. In her video “Elizabeth Hasselbeck Phony Christian & Star Parker Schools View on Biblical Family,” Luv ranted on about Elizabeth Hasselbeck not defending Star Parker’s views about same-sex marriage (she’s against it – surprise!). Elizabeth said she struggled with this issue because the Bible says that you love God, but you also love your neighbor. Luv chastised Elizabeth for not quoting the scriptures accurately. 

Luv states:

“You love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and body, and then you love your neighbor as yourself. You love God first though. You listen to what he said, what his opinion is, what his position on the issue is. God said homosexuality is an abomination to him. You cannot go contrary to that. You love God by following his ways. His ways are supposed to be your ways. You follow him.” 

So the first time I am somewhat proud of Elizabeth, it turns out she’s being a bad Christian, according to Luv. Go figure! However, I digress. The point I’m making is that, for LuvWorkingAtHome, the words of her ever precious Bible and God are totally accurate and should be followed where they suit Luv’s prejudices and bigotry. However, nowhere in the Bible does it condemn slavery. Nowhere does it say that slavery is evil. In fact, both God and Jesus condone slavery from one end of the book to the other. But because slavery is something that Luv is strongly against, regardless of the Bible, slavery is evil. This is called cherry picking, Luv. 

Slavery was established by decree of Almighty God. It is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation - - Jefferson Davis

Christian Refuses to Post Refutation Comment

On YouTube, TheJarredJammer posted a video entitled "BREAKING NEWS - Intelligent Design Wins" The content of the video is irrelevant here, but I noticed that NephilimFree had left one of his totally inaccurate comments in which he stated the following:

I've seen a brain surgeon say it's 01^950. Either way, it destroys evolutionism [His word, not mine.]
Also 80% of the protiens [his spelling, not mine] in humans are NOT found in apes.


I wanted to post the following, which I got from Biomedicine

"Chimps and people share almost 99 percent of the non-duplicated sequences of their genomes; their proteins are virtually identical; and there are very few rearrangements that distinguish ape-human chromosomes."

Well, TheJarredJammer has his comments on moderation and, lo and behold, my comment has not been put through.

I thought these religious people are supposed to be honest. I guess honesty is in the eye of the beholder. If it doesn't fit within their framework of non-facts, it doesn't get posted.

Christian Honesty

A Self Challenge for Evolutionists

NephilimFree is one of the most boring creationists on YouTube. He claims to have been an atheist at one time, but after researching and studying lots of information, he came to the conclusion that only the Christian God could have created the universe. But that’s another story for another time.

In this particular video, entitled “A Self Challenge for Evolutionists,” NephilimFree begins by stating, “So, you believe in evolution. Right? You believe that science provides evidence of evolution. You believe that evolutionist scientists or those people who put forth this evidence, and that the evidence they put forth is correct, it’s accurate, and it describes this world. You believe they’re trustworthy. You believe they’re honest. You believe what they say. This is why you believe in evolution? Is it? Is it because of science? Is it because of evidence in science? Is it because you believe that evolutionist scientists are honest? I have a challenge for you. It requires only that you examine what you believe and see if you truly do believe it. And why, why do you believe it? I’m going to show you a little video clip.” NephilimFree then blithers on, repeating the same thing for minutes. Then he asks, “If I could show you evidence, proof positive, that what you’re told about this creature, afarensis [Lucy], is forgery, academic fraud, and hoaxery [his word, not mine], would you still believe that it’s an ancestor of human beings? And how would this effect what you think is evidence for evolution in other fields of science? How much of that evidence that you believe in, you put your faith in, would you still consider to be scientific or factual? Be honest with yourself. If you can’t be honest with yourself ever again the rest of your life, be honest with yourself when you watch this because many of you are going to be picking your jaws up off the floor. I promise you.” More blither for minutes. I’m beginning to shout, “just show me the video already!”

Now, we finally get to it. And it’s a video from answersingenesis.org, which is the first clue that I’m not going to pass NephilimFree’s challenge. Or maybe I’ll pass, but good ol’ boring Neph is the one who failed. So, I tell myself to keep an open mind. You never know what might happen. The video is about Lucy’s hip and the fact that the hip is wrong for a bipedal creature. I find myself watching a video within a video within a video. Neph’s video includes a video of a presentation of Lucy’s hip in which they show a video of Dr. Owen Lovejoy explaining why Lucy’s hip is wrong. He explains that the hip had been broken in many pieces but, during the fossilization process, the hip fused together incorrectly. Many titters from the answersingenesis’ audience. Lovejoy then goes on to explain that, with the hip the way it was, it could not have moved as an ape or a human. Logic should tell this audience and Neph that this means the hip is in incorrect alignment. But no, they just think it’s funny and believe that Lovejoy is simply trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. Lovejoy makes a copy, in plaster, of the hip and then reams the edges down with a power sander, which answersingenesis claims to be a power saw. More titters from the audience. He then puts the plaster hip together in the way the pieces would have been had the bones not been broken. It becomes more of a human hip. Titter, guffaw!!

Well, I asked myself, is my faith in science and evolution shattered? Neph said it would be. Maybe I’ll do some more research before I give up my sanity and move over to the creationist’s side. And here’s what I found:

http://www.allianceforscience.org/Lucy/Jellison_Lucy_Article.html

This article explains, in full, the problem with Lucy’s hip and how it was solved. Pictures, diagrams, and everything.

Since I couldn’t put a comment on Neph’s video (he’s disabled that), I sent him a personal message stating that I had taken the challenge and I wasn’t convinced of his proof. I provided him with the above URL but, alas, I heard nothing in return. Didn’t think I would.

Neph, my boring friend, if you want to convince an evolutionist, you’re going to have to come up with something that isn’t from a creationist website. Your claim is that scientists distort the facts to match their hypotheses, yet from what you’ve shown in this video, it is the creationists who clearly distorted the facts.

Oh, and one more thing, Neph. If you are going to continue making such long videos showing only your face, you really need to liven up some. You've got a face like a wet weekend. It's depressing.

Why is Obama Evil? I Really Want to Know

A couple of months ago, I came across this video entitled “Obama Is Not For God, He Is Not Chosen Of God” by LuvWorkingAtHome. I'm not going to link to it because, well, quite frankly, it would disgust me that I provided her site with traffic. The picture showing for this video was Hitler, which intrigued me. I have never been an Obama fan (Hillary supporter here), but I’ve never considered him anything like Hitler. Being curious, I watched the video. Luv claims to have made the video because so many people were writing to her and saying that God chose Obama as president and, therefore, nobody should say anything against him. Here are Luv’s assertions:

1. Luv disagrees that “God elected Barack Hussein Obama. The ones who elected him are wicked people, ignorant people, and phony Christians.”

2. “I don’t think that Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to be president because he is not a natural born citizen.”

3.”Barack Hussein Obama is an evil wicked man. He is for the things that God said is an abomination. He is for the shedding of innocent blood, for abortion. He is for homosexual rights and homosexual marriages.”

4. “God has a permissive will in which he will allow us to make choices. He is not going to force us to choose good or force us to choose evil. He has given us a free will.” She then quotes some verse from the bible that the Lord is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” She then goes on “It’s not His will that people should go to hell, but they’re going, and He didn’t do it.”

5. “I think a lot of people should be careful of what they try to blame on God.”

6. Then she shoots up a picture of Hitler and asks, “Are we not supposed to oppose a Nazi Germany or a Adolf Hitler or a communist murderer like Joseph Stalin?”

Okay, so I’m not curious any more. Now I’m angry. Since she has disabled any comments from being placed on her video, I sent her a personal message. I don’t think I was mean about it. I asked for clarification on some points. My message:

First off, I'd like to state that I'm not an Obama fan, but neither was I a McCain fan. Having said that, I'm curious as to how you can equate Obama with Hitler and Stalin. He is nothing like them. How is Obama evil and wicked? Personally, I think he's all talk and no substance, but that doesn't make him evil or wicked.

What proof do you have that only wicked, ignorant, and phony Christians voted for Obama? Since he got the majority of the votes, are you saying that the majority of Americans are not good people?

Also, where are you getting this fact that Obama is not a natural born citizen? He was born in Hawaii and that is a state of the U.S., is it not? And why do you constantly refer to him by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama? Are you trying to emphasize the "Hussein" part? For what purpose?

I know you can say what you like in your videos within the guidelines of Youtube, but your videos would go a lot further if you backed up your assertions with some proof. You advocate questioning leaders and I agree with you on that, but when you make videos to educate people, you are acting as a leader to some extent. How are people to question you if you prevent comments from being posted on your videos? You seem to have strong convictions and I'm sure you feel you can back them up, so why not allow some discussion to take place. More education happens with two-way discussion than a lecture, wouldn't you agree? I do realize that there are a lot of trolls out there ready to trash any video that gets posted, which may be your reason, but learning by discussion is far more important that worrying about the trolls. They can always be ignored.

Thanks for the video. I don't really agree with much of what you've said, but you made me think nonetheless. I hope you will be good enough to respond to my above questions. I'm always curious about people's thoughts, ideas, and feelings. :)

And did I get a response? Of course not. She hasn’t got the gumption to back up her assertions. Oh it’s easy to say that Obama is evil and wicked and Hitler-like, etc., but proof is a far more difficult thing to provide. It’s easy to say that Obama is not a natural born citizen, but far harder to back it up.

After watching this video again, I have some further questions and concerns. Why is abortion so wrong, but it was okay for God to kill innocent people when it suited him? Does that strike anybody as a loving God? Where does it say in the Bible that abortion is a sin? Actually, abortion is never mentioned in the Bible, yet there are some verses that Christians try to interpret as being about abortion.

If Luv is going to pick out from the Bible that homosexuality is an abomination, I certainly hope that she never wears pants or her husband’s shirts (wearing the clothes of the opposite sex is an abomination). I hope she never eats shellfish (eating seafood that does not have scales is an abomination). Luv better not eat any rare meat (eating meat that still has blood is an abomination). And I certainly hope that she doesn’t ever wear clothes with blended materials (another abomination!).

I’m not even going to go into the free will crap!! Suffice it to say that if God wanted us to always be good, He shouldn’t have created evil. He was responsible for the creation of everything, was He not? It’s like putting a candy in a child’s playpen and demanding that he not touch it. Of course the kid is going to touch it.

God is a man-made creation, not the other way around. When Luv proclaims that people should be careful what they blame on God, I think that holds for the religious people as well. Luv, you use God to instill your hatred. You use God to hate homosexuals. You use God to hate whatever is not of your desires. I get that you don’t like Obama. That’s fine. But this video is nothing but hate-spewing garbage that you cannot back up with facts. Using an ancient book, written by man, is not proof of anything except your lack of logical thought processes.
