About ‘Leading Malaysian Neocon’ and This Blog


See this post for updated list of my views.

The tagline on my blog header is from the title bestowed upon me by KTemoc – see this screen capture.

It is an apt description, as this blog is mostly focused on Malaysian and American politics from a pro-Conservative viewpoint.

This blog also covers:

Christianity and its beliefs, evidence and defense

Liberalism and atheism and their flaws

Anthropogenic (human caused) global warming and its lack of evidence

General cool and fun stuff like combat, webcomics and videos

    Is your is you not my baby. Tom and Jerry, your blog is awesome. Thanks for posting.

  4. Patricia Witherspoon Says:

    I needed a good laugh today, and I thank you for it.

    Funny that you should say it, though. I have always thought that the reason there were more Democrats in favor of withdrawing from Iraq was BECAUSE they were Christian, and that the reason so many Republicans were for it was because they had forgotten they were supposed to be Christians.

    Just goes to show how differently two people can see something, doesn’t it?

    Again, thanks for the ROTFLMAO. It was appreciated.

  8. Tim Says:

    Scott, I’m pleased to read that someone devoted to the theory of evolution has found some of the major holes which permeate it, and therefore due evidence to call it what it is – a theory and nothing more. However, I just thought I would pick up on one sentence in your ‘about Scott’ section; you write: ‘It is no more than an unproven theory to me, though I remain open to accepting it when it is proved.’ If you are a bible believing Christian you must always refute the theory of evolution, principally because God has spoken, and he has told us how the universe was made and everything in it. God must have the last word always and because he is true and cannot change his mind, what he has said must be unquestionable truth. Evolution will never be proved, because it simply never took place, it never existed. Atheism must have an answer for the question: ‘where did we come from?’. In the absence of a creator God, it’s an extremely difficult one to deal with. Such a question needs an answer with weight and certainty and so Evolution has become the God of Atheism and Darwin it’s chief high priest and prophet. If we are bible believing Christians, upon this matter we can be utterly dogmatic. Scripture says, ‘Let God be true and every man a liar’.

    Thanks Tim, your comment got to me to finally finish up my post on evolution and sin. Tell me what you think of my theory:

    You come by my blog and leave some comment trashing my article without the least bit of guts in naming one specific thing that you disagree with. And then I come here and see that you have comments turned off on YOUR articles.

    Burning hot? Yeah, right. My blog is infinitely more caustic than you’ll ever be — since you know JACK. Chances are, you’ll be too chicken to even leave this comment up.*

    http://incogman.wordpress.com/

    If you’ll notice, I am quite the prolific blogger. Reading and writing are so natural to me… It is my lifeblood, my main focused-until-level-20 skill! I just love Words so very much.

    Oh god. I think I just threw up.

    *And you better not delete it because then I let everybody know!

  14. Scott Thong Says:

    What did I do, cuss at you? Flame your points? Belittle your opinions? Wa i even deragatory?

    All I said was that I agree with some things (e.g. Nelson Mandela being a racist), am unsure of others (e.g. whether cell phones could work on the planes), and am not convinced of the remainder (Jews rule the world through proxy, natch).

    To quote that comment in full:

    I have to agree with you on some of the things on your list, scratch my head at others, and roll my eyes at the rest…

    Overreactionary is the word! Dude! I’d seriously be concerned for when a REAL troll comes along and badmouths your blog!

    PSYCHO!!!!!

    Which is considered sue-able: Rolling one’s eyes (even Spongebob does it on kids’ tv), or bellitling someone’s intelligence, calling him a coward and vomiting at him (as my blog received)?

    Why not? Thought all you Sickos got off on reading sick stuff. You should go to my section on Homos and Sickos for your reading pleasure.

    Comments turned off????!!!! No one comments???!!!

    OK, I missed them. There wasn’t any comments made (probably just too boring) and it was easy to miss. So sue me.

    My replies to the “Wordsmith” Mr. Thong are at my blog — a real hot read for normal folks and even “sickos” of all stripes!

  18. Scott Thong Says:

    hutchrun, don’t think too lightly of incogman. He has many traits of great leaders and famous people.

    He is Mahathir (“Jews rule the world!!!”).

    He is Rosie O’Donnell (“Bush planned 9/11!!!”).

    He is Hillary Clinton (“A vast Right-Wing conspiracy!!!”)

    He is obviously set in his ways as solidly as any run-of-the-mill Troofer, as solid as steel (“Fire cant melt steel!!! It was thermite charges that brought down the towers!!!”).

  19. hutchrun Says:

    Oh I don`t think lightly of worms, they aerate the soil. Look at the stupid comment:
    “Thought all you Sickos got off on reading sick stuff.”

    I clicked his nick to see what it wuz all about, n wuz out in about 10 seconds after seeing the rubbish. Haha chappie needs a doc real bad. But then again, I see no hope for the nut.

  20. hutchrun Says:

    Hoho he`s a perfect example of `The Stupid White Man`. Look at the mess they get into. Even the arab sand worms are smarter than them.

  21. hutchrun Says:

    “OK, I missed them. There wasn’t any comments made (probably just too boring) and it was easy to miss. So sue me.”

    Now that`s what I call an IDIOT from the Kingdom Of ID. More on that:

    “The name for the strip is a play on The Wizard of Oz combined with the Freudian psychological term Id, which represents the instinctive and primal part of the human psyche. From time to time the king refers to his subjects as “Idiots”.

  22. incogman Says:

    Oh, please save me from the brilliance of those people who believe everything that the government, Zionists or FAUX News has to tell them is true in the world.

    It always amazes me about the arrogance of these propagandized brain-dead. Hell, you even brag about ignoring any contrary positions in this world:

    I clicked his nick to see what it wuz all about, n wuz out in about 10 seconds after seeing the rubbish. Haha chappie needs a doc real bad. But then again, I see no hope for the nut.

    As such, Mr. Hutchrun, I’d say you were the one who was a stumble-down village IDIOT, since you cannot even deign to entertain any other viewpoints but your own arrogant one.

    In fact, I’d like to see something that you’ve ever done or said. Have a blog anywhere? I always like a good laugh. It facinates me how the government BS percolates through the brain cells of folks like you and comes out looking no worse for wear!

  23. hutchrun Says:

    `It always amazes me about the arrogance of these propagandized brain-dead.`
    `It facinates me…` – good. It takes so little to do that. Must be lack of the grey poo in your skull

    `In fact, I’d like to see something that you’ve ever done or said` – whatever for. You live in your own stupid, arrogant world which is the Land Of ID.

    `you cannot even deign to entertain any other viewpoints` – hoho haha you are right there bro. Just can`t stand idiots.

    Oh, please save me from the brilliance of those people who believe everything that the government, Zionists or FAUX News has to tell them is true in the world.

    I could similarly say:

    Oh, please save me from the political correctness of those people who believe everything that the anarchists/conspiracy theorists, Muslim apologists or MSM has to tell them is true in the world.

    Btw, on Fox/Faux News versus the liberal media competitors:

    Btw incog, you can just put your blog link in the URL box near the box for your name.

    But hutch, take care not to stoop to the level of liberal talk show hosts (or Shrillary ‘F*CK YOU YOU F*CKING MORON SECRET SERVICE AGENT’ Clinton) when you retort.

  26. hutchrun Says:

    Haha hammies for tinfoils:

    Now that`s a real good one. Cairo, Alexandria, Jeddah…. wow I gotta wish list.

  27. incogman Says:

    Please don’t tell me you are some FAUX news groupie? Or any of this rest of the Corporate media. It’s all BS– just different flavors. A discerning intellect can see all that.

    Hell, you and “China-Hutch,” haha, don’t even have the guts to read anything I have to write on my site since it’s so obvious that your brain-dead comments can so readily be demolished. There or here.

    I’m still waiting on China-Hutch to give me a link to something, anything that he’s ever written that I can leave a comment about. Somehow, I don’t think I’ll hold my breath waiting by the looks of his lame rejoinders to me!

  28. incogman Says:

    Oh yeah, by the way, your blog is really burning hot! Mine is so hot, that WordPress has classified me as “Mature” in the attempt to keep the Jew big-mouths mollified. How many subgroups or races hate your guts? Besides the women, of course.
    So, looks like old INCOG MAN’s webblog is hotter than “Buuuuurning Hot.” Plus, my graphics are a lot more interesting.

  29. Scott Thong Says:

    So, looks like old INCOG MAN’s webblog is hotter than “Buuuuurning Hot.” Plus, my graphics are a lot more interesting.

    What’s with the ‘My blog can beat up your blog’ attitude? Or is it a ‘My blog is bigger, longer and thicker than yours and the women like it better’ compensating sort of thing?

    If I had named by blog ‘Fattest Zionist in Da Woild’, would you be claiming that your blog featured more overweight Jews, with pictures?

    Maybe I don’t cuss and swear on my blog, I don’t get it a Mature rating…

    But you’re right, I only have 200,000 hits so far and 1266 hits a day, my blog is positively FROOOOOZZZZEN COLD.

    And I repeat my info that you can include your blog link with your name.

  30. hutchrun Says:

    Somehow, I don’t think I’ll hold my breath- being a zombie you shouldn`t. Lokk at your pic, that`s a zombie for sure. So whether you breathe or not is of very low interest.

    Anyway just `cos you got a blog where you fill nonsense don`t mean nothing to me. I mean after all, I go to the toilet every morning and once a day is sufficient.

    `How many subgroups or races hate your guts?` – and that`s your `fame` huh. Justifies my opinion. Not a cog but a nut. Just can`t hate you, I laugh at you.

    N look at that `China-Hutch` thingy. Man you sure are a loony bird. Ooops, loony zoombie. hahahaha.

    Hey Scott, saw the link to your blog at Dr Hsu’s.
    Mighty glad I visited here.

    It is refreshing to read some of your sane and sober writing.
    That’s the way to go in this hostile age that is bent against reason and truth.
    At a glance I could heartily concur with your “beliefs and politics.”

    MAY YOUR TRIBE INCREASE IN THIS PERILOUS TIME is my prayer unto Him on His throne in heaven.

    I do believe that Al-Gorism is a total sham and scam. However I also believe in a REAL global warming. See http://www.letgodbetrue.com/todaysworld/global-warming.pdf

    Teachers of falsehood are here with and among us, and they have many followers.
    “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”

    Therefore MANY are not even able to recognize teachers of falsehood in the churches.

    “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

    Many will not endure sound doctrine. They turn their ears away from THE TRUTH. They shall be turned unto FABLES, yes, unto fictions. Very many in churches, instead of enduring sound doctrine and embracing the truth, they heap upon themselves teachers of falsehood (these are very sincere pastors-teachers, and they don’t have horns nor do they carry pitch-forks!). These teachers of falsehood turn their followers unto FABLES… fictions.

    Hey Scott, great blog. I have an actual photo of the power plant that is featured on the front of “inconvenient truth” If you would like to work it into your blog on Al Gore somehow feel free to copy it to your site. the plant is in Utah and from what I have seen is actually pretty clean.

    Thanks Andy, I’ll do up another Gore-expose… Only I can’t find the pics. I’m totally lost on your page!

    You could email it to me, scottthongblog[at]yahoo[dot]com], or link it directly.

    The trick that Gore and others use is to photograph plumes of steam as they reflect the sunlight, esspecially at sunset with all the ‘hellish’ red and yellow light.

    It’s not smoke at all! It’s water vapour!

    Water vapour is visible, whereas CO2 is invisible, duh!

    Those Dirty Nasty Steam Plumes

    Ironically, water vapour (i.e. clouds) contribute more to global temperatures that the measly 0.0385% of the atmosphere that is CO2.

    URGENT WARNING TO ALL CONCERNED – FISH HEAD CURRY can seriously damage brain cells
    This is a urgent warning to all Malaysians. The Ministry of Insanity, Malaysia, have just issued a major health warning to all Malaysians to avoid eating fish head curry.
    Recent results of a survey conducted and confirmed by the Ministry’s team, have concluded that this dish, contains a deadly pathological toxin known as najibaltanthuC4.

    This toxin is known to cause loss of memory and in some cases total loss (diappearance) of the person concerned. It is presumed that it is not contagious, but a recent incident of an ex-cop consuming this dish, caused not only severe loss of memory to the victim and his total disappearance, but the diappearance of his whole family as well!

    It is still not sure whether this toxin is biological in origin, which might explain why it can spread to his family. Thus far all control experiments, have only revealed that it is a physical toxin and not a virus.

    Many theories are being studied by the Ministry. One fear that keeps surfacing is that the chemical composition of this toxin is bonded very strongly to a very volatile compound known as C4. C4 sometimes can cause a person to vanish, though sometimes, not completely.

    The Ministry is seeking urgent international assistance and The Mythbuster team from the Discovery Channel have been engaged. Meanwhile the Royal Malaysian Police have appealed to Interpol.

    This Ministry has already sent out a circular to all fish-head curry vendors throughout the nation, to place a government warning at their restaurants.

    All official warning would read ” AMARAN OLEH KERAJAAN MALAYSIA: MEMAKAN KARI KEPALA IKAN BOLEH MEMBAHAYAKAN KESIHATAN”

    Therefore, if you really have to eat this dish, only eat at these certified official restaurants. Restaurants that do not display this warning to the letter, have obtained celup punya licence, by paying under the counter, you know la how it works in Malaysia.

    Further, the spokesman for the Ministry’s grandma advised him to include a further warning to the citizens of Malaysia( Grandma? ya la,… she is quite old but sometimes her advice may have some meaning) , just like older folk say don’t eat durian and have alcohol afterwards, She asserts DO NOT EAT FISH-HEAD CURRY WITH A POLICEMAN.

  58. Simon Thong Says:

    That’s a good one, James’whatheblog. I love fishhead curry and shall eat it only with my wife and youngest son. No policeman allowed. LOL.

  62. thesadarab Says:

    Hi Scott,

    You said that “My faith is based on reason, logic and factual proof, including plenty ” and you are scientist at the same time. That does not make any sense, it is beyond logic. You can’t have it both ways.

    You said you are “Anti religious extremism” and yet support the Neoconservative Evangelical Christian movement that led to the invasion of Iraq, that led to the killing of hundred of thousands of innocent civilians that include woman and children. Make your mind up. What do you support?

    You are an Obama basher and Bush lover! That makes sense.

  63. Scott Thong Says:

    It’s simple really.

    If you know the Christian definition of faith, it is not simply believing something without any evidence. I’ll give you an analogy:

    When a scam artist comes along and asks you to give him $5000, and he’ll change it into $25000… And you believe him… That is blind faith.

    But if you mother, who has nurtured you for 20 years, and has never lied to you, tells you to trust her… Wouldn’t you trust her? That is Christian style faith.

    The reason I choose to believe Christianity, over any religion or faithlessness, is because I am convinced by the evidence I have examined – historical, textual, experential. I can elaborate if you want.

    Granted, it is not proven that God exists or that the claims of Christianity are undebateably true… But that’s where the trust, the faith like in the mother example, comes in.

    As for the neocons… You really need to stop spouting liberal/Muslim propaganda and start looking at the statistical facts.

    1. Death toll lower than under Saddam – Under Saddam, 50000 Iraqis died per year. During the worst parts of the American invasion, only 6825 deaths per year. Therefore, even the hard numbers show that if the ‘Neoconservative Evangelical Christian movement’ hadn’t invaded Iraq, the Iraqis would be worse off living under Saddam’s continued rule.

    2. The death toll is now far below Saddam times or even Al Qaeda in Iraq times. Even as far back as three years ago, the violent death rate in Iraq was HALF of that of Chicago, Obama’s city.

    3. Just look at these pictures. The war in Iraq is over, and the Iraqis love the Americans who saved them from Saddam and then from the jihadists.

    In conclusion, the Neoconservative Evangelical Christian movement has saved thousands of Iraqi lives, while killing more than 23000 jihadists – the REAL religious extremists.

    I rest my case.

    Scott,

    You said “But if you mother, who has nurtured you for 20 years, and has never lied to you, tells you to trust her… Wouldn’t you trust her? That is Christian style faith.”

    Isn’t that applicable to any faith. A Hindu could exactly say the same. a Jew could say the same too. You are just being one sided. They are many atheist who could argue the non-existence of God more convincingly that a man of faith. While I respect your faith, I really do, but that does not mean you are right and everyone who is not Christian is wrong. May be you should visit some good Jewish site and read the argument about the non-existence of God’s son.

    Scott, my advice to you is to visit less your newcon anti-Muslim Right wing websites to get real factual data. And may be a bit of history could do wonders. Iraqis, do not love the presence of Americans, no one loves an occupying power.

    And BTW, Sadam Hussain, when at his worst, fighting against Iran, the US was supporting him. I should know, I am from that part of the world.

    Finally, you want the correct figures for the civilian casualities.. here is an extract…
    “In November 2006 Iraqi health ministry estimates ranged from 100,000 to 150,000 dead. This contrasts with a survey of Iraqi households in the Lancet, which suggested about 655,000 Iraqis had died as a result of the war by July 2006. ”

    BTW, main stream media was behind the war, and supporting Bush, but I guess when MSM reports some truth, all of a sudden you start attaching MSM. Americans have woken up, and put right what went wrong the last 8 years. Let’s hope that the true Conservatives take back their Christian faith from the likes of Bush, Dick, and Palin, your hero.

    Hi Scott,

    i am glad to have found your website. I have read some of your articles and i share your views on many issues. I thought there are not so many malaysians like me who refuse to be fed with the local bias reporting. There are good Jews and there are those who are atheistic, selfish and materialistic but to me, it is simply irrational to condemn all Jews as evil. it is almost like as if it is a religious order to see all Jews as evil.

    My message to jihadist,

    On one hand when a country comes under muslim control, you create strict laws to make sure that no one can share their religion with a muslim in order that those who are muslim remain a muslim. You execute them if they decide to leave islam because in your religion that person is committing treason against your g-d.

    on the other hand you go out to non muslim countries and take advantage of their system which allows you to share your religion with anyone who are willing to listen to convert them.

    And on top of that in a non muslim country, you even explore ways of how you can use external powers (political, economical, terrorism) to force others to convert into muslim.

    tell me who should i consider to be more of a threat to me? the jews or the jihadist muslims?

    As i mentioned earlier, if some jews start doing what you are doing – treating other religion unfairly and even threaten them with terrorism, i will not hesitate to condemn their actions as unacceptable the same way i condemn jihadist muslim. But until they start doing bad things i have no reason to condemn them.

    I don’t care what the jews have done in the past. Similarly, if one day the jihadist muslims decide to treat other religion fairly, i will not care about what they have done in the past. i will even protect the muslim who are willing to treat other religion fairly if they are threaten by anyone who wants to wipe them out of the map.

    But the fact is : Jihadist muslims are not treating other religion fairly. and therefore, don’t blame me for being very unhappy and angry with jihadist muslims.

    Jews or muslim, I am ok with you if you can agree with these point.

    1. As far as religion is concern, agree to never use external power (political, economical, terror) to force conversion.

    2. to absolutely allow a person who join your religion to leave without fear of persecution if he or she decides to leave.

    3. to absolutely allow people of other religion to share their religion to anyone of your religion who are willing to learn. The person sharing and the person who is willing to learn will have no fear of being punnished.

    if you disagree with these points i have valid reasons to distrust you.

    Wow, i got the link here via a comic site. It scares me the way some of you people on here use your religion to pass judgement on those you feel are not worthy. I was raised a catholic, but am not a person of faith now, i cant bear the hypocracy from outspoken christians. Your love for America is bizarre, so messed up and scared they are losing influenceon the world stage. They talk of freedom and democracy, yet spend thier time meddling with everyone and starting wars all over the world. You pick on gays constantly, why are you so worried by them, they are born into families, they dont just appear from nowhere. As for the question of Jihadists and terroists. We created them, we gave them thier drive and reason, no matter how crazy they are. You are bunch of crazy cocks !

  72. simon thong Says:

    If they are a bunch of crazy cocks, you’re a lonely little chicken, Cheeken Leettle.

  73. Scott Thong Says:

    ricster, your talking points sound like they come directly from liberal media and blogs. I shall point out how inaccurate most of your statements are, with references to back up my stand.

    ——————————

    Losing influence on the world stage? Under George Bush, America’s approval improved. Citation

    ——————————

    Starting wars all over the world? I assume you of course mean Afghanistan and Iraq. May I remind you that under Saddam, the death rate for Iraqis was 7 times greater than during Bush’s invasion and occupation. Under Bill Clinton, the death rate was 14 times greater. Wow, what a murderer the liberal democrat, blow-jobbing irreligious Clinton was! What Bush accomplished with his ‘starting wars’ was to drastically reduce the death and suffering of ordinary Iraqis and give them the peace and freedom they enjoy now. Citation. But as a former Catholic, I suppose you have forgotten the concept of a ‘just war’.

    ——————————

    Pick on gays constantly? Recently, they have been picking on us… With riots, hate speech, intimidation tactics, harassment and physical assault. Citation

    ——————————

    We created jihadists and terrorists? We gave them drive and reason? You definitely do not know your history. Allow me to illustrate your fallacy:

    1) Jihad & America: Way back in 1785, hardly after the nation of America had been founded, Barbary pirates kidnapped American ship crews for the following reason:

    it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

    Citation

    2) Jihad & the Crusades – Is the imperialistic West to blame for the conflicts that last up till today? After all, the jihadis always refer to the West as ‘Crusaders’. The fact is: 461 years of nonstop Muslim invasions preceded the First Crusade. With no provocation from Christians, Muslims under the pretext of jihad invaded, pillaged and occupied Turkey, Palestine, Syria, Russia, Italy, Nubia, Portugal, Spain, France and even Holy Rome itself. Citation

    So why don’t I hear you blaming jihadis for creating us and giving us our drive and reason? (And if you say that 1400 years of jihad shouldn’t be an excuse to strike back at jihadis, then you will be showing blatant double standards as you have been basically justifying jihadi attacks on us, ‘no matter how crazy they are’.

    ——————————

    You speak of us using religion to pass judgement on others… What are you doing now, in your very comment, if not passing judgement on us based on your own values and worldview?

I don’t trust him because he was not Born in America but Born in Kenya and then raised as a MUSLIN in Indonesia as well so He is Not a True President but a SECRET MUSLIN PRESIDENT and he is destroying this country
    Your conviction of the truthiness of your beliefs makes you a malaysian version of michelle malkin… or is michelle malkin and american version of you? LOL
    scott thong if only there were more Americans like you! LOL have you ever considered immigrating to America and becoming a citizen of our Great, God-Fearing, Christian Democracy? I think you could really make a difference running for public office – our Country is losing its way. I want my America back and it is bright young Men such as yourself that will restore the Christian values that the GREAT PRETENDER BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is trying to TEAR DOWN. If only we had Strong Christian Men of intellect and even-handed wisdom like yourself, scott thong, back in charge – I fear for this country that I love but am briefly comforted by your convictions that come straight from the gut
    LOL I am rambling but you have made a huge fan of me right here! You have impressed me so much as a young Christian Oriental man with such a strong Passion for what is going on in America and making a difference for Christ and fighting against Socialism and Big Government. God Bless America!

  85. nuraddin Says:

    In reference with Scott Thong Says: February 17, 09 at 10:04 am

    It is true that most of your ideas especially regarding Muslim’s world your resources are 95% from the western orientalists (see G.H.Jansen.Millitant islam). And it is fairly clear that those scholars had been working very hard in promoting and defending their ideologies.
    As a result, most of your reflections regarding the Muslim, you charged as ‘fanatics’, ‘ ignorance’, ‘ anti development’, ‘backward’, ‘inhuman’ ,’terrorists’ and so forth. And you inaccurately spreading the ideas, while distorting or manipulating the Islam, expressed their histories and so forth in your own value and worldview(?) .On the other hand you promote the good image and superiority of western civilization or way of life.
    As part of this arguement, you and the companions call for Islam to be reformed in line with modern thoughts, while others especially in the past wanted the religion to be totally eliminated.Can you make it?This effort and the propagator are very unclean and only given rise to serious conflicts .In fact, the battle of winning some others heart will always being waged not only today but the day after tomorrow.

  86. Simon Thong Says:

    It seems to be that Scott Thong is saying that all this is what we see because “radical Islam” is always in front of us, rather than “modern Islam”. It is really a challenge for the latter to promote itself, and not let the former grab all the headlines and attraction. I see no anti-Islam in what he writes. Don’t you think that you’re over-sensitive? And unfair to label Scott “western” in orientation.

  87. Scott Thong Says:

    Do I base my views on what ‘Western Orientalists’ say? Do I wrongly think of certain people as acting like ‘fanatics’, ‘ ignorance’, ‘ anti development’, ‘backward’, ‘inhuman’ ,’terrorists’ and so forth?

    Let me put a simple challenge to you, Turn on the news, whether Western CNN or Middle Eastern Al Jazeera. Watch and listen as they describe murders of civilians in Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Southern Thailand, Phillipines, Fort Hood, attempted on airplanes – and previously, New York, London, Madrid, Beslan. What do all of these have in common?

    As for WHO is inaccurately spreading the ideas, while distorting or manipulating the Islam, I’ll let pictures speak louder than words:

    Who Really Gives a Bad Name to Islam?

    Who thinks Islam encourages violence? Who makes people think some Muslims act like ignorant fanatics devoted to inhuman terrorism?

    Me and ‘the companions’? Or Muslims like these?

    Like I always say, go convince those Muslims that Islam = Peace, not me!

    i am thankful for your blogs.

    i read the section where you gave a descriptions of your faith and what you stand for. and i am very comfortable with that. i believe i am very much the same.

    regarding my Christian faith, i am someone who when come across a good and sound message I will accept the message no matter from where it come from. i will respect the messenger behind the message for sharing the message but i will not worship him or her or it or the organization. As far as worship is concern, i worship only the Creator and Jesus.

    i believe it is man’s nature to worship that which is worthy of worship otherwise he will worship himself. and in my search for the being that is worthy of worship, i have found Jesus to be the most worthy among all.

    i added a link to your wonderful blog in my humble facebook page. hope that one day we can meet because it appears that we have so much in common. and also about our mutual concerns with what is happening around the world. cheers!

    Gay men can think to! Since my degree is BS CIS, I have thrown out the evolution theory somewhat too: there has to be perimeter-based evolution (depending on adpative maitenance) while a pressure in environment Umwelt will spawn new processes that I would like to call transcendental-creationism. 🙂

    I am working on the theory of logic: it appears that logic like theories changes “shape” when in proximity with other persuasions of logic. So a human and a dying pet could share a commingled logic that keeps the pet alive if it were on death bed. More thoughts of me on facebook: mind.uploading. However I have my doubts about Woodpress since I found it through a research through some spam sixfigures.com which fed to w3.org, which through some reverse engineering brought me here. 🙂

    Thanks Sherry!

    I am a Creationist, in that I firmly believe nothing exists that does not have its ultimate source in God.

    However, I’m more open on the exact method He used to create life (ref: using/starting the Big Bang to create the universe).

    I have a little pondering on that note, see The Sin Theory of Evolution.

    Scott, you give Christianity a bad name, your prosperity Gospel demeans the poor, ignores the marginalised children of God, spits on the face of the God of peace, nonviolence and justice; you promote ideologies and hate mongers in the name of the holy one. The dessert mothers and fathers call this BLASPHEMY!

    Why do you find me none of them? Do please explain. (Few, if any, ever respond with an explanation or justification of their accusations against me – see the comments immediately preceding yours). At the very least, it might help me out of a lack of self-awareness yes?

    On the gay kid issue, first of all I do not subscribe to the politically correct liberal belief that sexual preference is 100% genetically determined (which you ought to know if you really did take a proper look through my blog in order to come to your ‘none of them’ conclusion).

    Proper upbringing including but not limited to sufficient fatherly and motherly love and attention, as well as avoidance of homosexual influence, will minimize what is IMHO the extremely non-default setting of sexual preference to ‘homosexual’.

    But if I had a gay kid, I would love him nonetheless – but I would also make it clear to him that God doesn’t intend for things to be that way ideally, and I would pray for him constantly that God makes a change in him. Of course advocates of homosexuality will say that sexual preference cannot change, but with God’s power it can.

    To wit, I know people who were convinced they were completely gay, only to realize that it was a direct result of experiences during their formative years, and to find healing and even a genuine return to heterosexuality through the forgiveness and salvation of Jesus Christ. True story bro.

    I know Paul Baylot personally also. He is not a none of the things described by the person named in the previous comment! That person is the very kind of perpetrator that is doing the things described by Paul and there are many more perpetrators all around Paul!! They make up lies to get other people to join them in their covert terrorism

    I can’t even began to address how stupid this blog is.You make good points,but stupid.Go educate yourself.Don’t call yourself sceptic and hold on to your Bible.

  133. Scott Thong Says:

    What is the difference between murder and legal execution? The difference is authority and justification.

    Along those lines, God as the creator, sustainer and owner of life has the sole right to terminate it. By contrast, humans do not have this unilateral right.

    Feel free to disagree with this concept, but that is the explanation.

  134. Scott Thong Says:

    Try me then. Give me an example of why you feel that holding on to the Bible means I’m stupid or am not a skeptic. I’ll respond with why I don’t come to the same conclusion as you on that example.

    (No copy-paste link dumping though, that’s just lazy.)

    I’m a physician specializing in diagnostic radiology and nuclear radiology who also has advanced degrees in international studies and international politics and economics, worked for a short time in the intelligence field and also served 12 years as an officer in the US Air Force.

    I stumbled across your blog by chance and, I must say, I enjoyed it immensely.

    Keep up the good work. The world needs more sane, intelligent and informed people like you speaking out

  136. Scott Thong Says:

    Thanks for the praise and encouragement! I haven’t been updating this blog for ages now, due to the time investment needed to do a decent job. So mostly I just Tweet or Retweet brief remarks at https://twitter.com/scottthong

    But glad to know the old archived posts are still useful for something!

    i feel sorry for you.

  138. Some Liberal White Guy Says:

    It’s interesting, I came here by accident looking for a plants vs zombies endless mode setup, and found this. Quite an interesting read.
    As someone who studied physics in college, identifies as liberal and a feminist and has married gay uncles, I obviously disagree with you on a lot of stuff. For instance, unless my understanding of physics is mistaken and all the data I’ve seen on the subject is erroneous, I really do believe there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that CFCs were interfering with the ozone layer, and that if anything, by attempting to marry, my uncles are conforming, not trying out an alternative lifestyle. (In fact, their relationship was what saved my uncle from suicidal depression caused by being disowned at the time.)
    Regardless, you’re obviously very organized and have genuinely thought about the topics about which you post. I’d like to commend you for that, and wish you the best of luck. Truth cannot be achieved unless it is questioned from multiple vantage points, after all.
    Also, I feel like in this time of increasing polarization, it’s important that we actually consider fellow human beings as actual people. In all likelihood, this plea will doubtless go ignored in the grand scheme of things, but I figured it couldn’t hurt.
    I wish you a wonderful life full of good health, inner peace, and a happy family.

  139. Scott Thong Says:

    Thanks for the comment.

    In the years since I stopped actively blogging, I’ve become more Libertarian. You could say I’ve been redpilled, for instance on the invasion of Iraq which I formerly strongly defended in my blogging.

    The change in viewpoint does fit with my stance all along however… New information and arguments can change my mind.
