Apocalyptic Clusterfuck

Basically, it's a right-wing evangelical Christian fundie website. And everything is of teh d3bbil. Mostly, it's just lulzy. I mean, what the hell is going on in that top banner?

Just from the front page, I found this article. Apparently using tattoos to monitor vital signs will lead us to a dystopian cyborg future. lol wut

What I find fascinating is the way that cyborgs have stealthily evolved on Earth. In popular culture, humans and machines are usually seen as separate, from the films of Arnold Schwarzenegger to the forthcoming movie Robot and Frank.

They are often pitted against each other.

This summer will see the 100th anniversary of the birthday of the British artificial intelligence pioneer Alan Turing, and there will be much talk of his influential test of synthetic minds in which a “chatbot” is deemed intelligent if it can fool us into thinking that it’s human from its written responses (the “Turing test”).

Yet all the while, humans have steadily fused with devices such as pacemakers, contact lenses, prosthetics, insulin pumps and cochlear and retinal implants.

“For years, techno-futurists worried about a doomsday moment when electronic brains and robots got to be as smart as us,” said Dr Andrew Nahum, senior keeper at the Science Museum.

Researchers are now looking at exoskeletons to help the infirm to walk, and implants to allow paralysed people to control limbs. Some are even discussing how to enhance brain power by electronic plug-ins. And, of course, there’s now also the prospect of smart skin, thanks to the efforts of Dr Rogers’s team in Illinois.

Forget about the rise of cyborgs, or indeed the Borg of Star Trek and the Cybermen of Dr Who. Millions of cyborgs walk among us already. Within a few decades, it won’t be so easy to tell humans and machines apart.

People never tire of end-timing.  In this country its popularity is exceeded only by sex and the NFL.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

Weren't fundies going on about how credit cards are the mark of the beast a one point?

Why do they insist on taking that 'shroom trip of a last book seriously anyway? Why is it always the "mark" they go on about, why not sword-in-mouth-metal-foot-Jesus?
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

The real mark of the beast is the Bible itself.

Oh I KNOW they said that about the Social Security numbers.  My mom remembers the stories flitting around her parent's generation when it came out.

Hey, I see they've got classic FSTDT nutbirds Samuel Gipp and Debbie Schlussel as members. 

Even better, on the front page, they're plugging health books from the 1930s.   Lawlz. 

The conspiracy theory 101 section is a hoot--there's a picture of the cover of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion there, but are they arguing for or against it? 
Congratulations.  You found Ronald Reagan. He’s living in each and every one of you.  Just waiting to gnaw his way out of your chest and skitter off into the ventilation ducts.

It has always amazed me that Schlussel hasn't been quoted more often on FSTDT, considering she is basically Ann Coulter x 1.5.

I can see it working for a death/black metal band, myself. :D
In paranoia I find genius / But the ice-dreams have come
with spiritless consequence / A hatchet has been hidden
between my eyes / A hatchet gift-wrapped in paranoia / A
wooden heart never bleeds / A wooden heart never bleeds,
yet inextricable thoughts still weave / Introspection
fabricated for battle / No time has been wasted
/ Neuroleptic seconds marry electroconvulsive hours / In
the cranial freezer, paranoia is the bastard and I
find genius Petrify / Paralyze
