The Dose Makes the Poison

So I have been subscribed to C0nc0rdance for some time now and while I appreciate his videos I normally don't feel the need to post them here. Then I saw this series today entitled The Dose Makes the Poison and in light of the current outrage over the new flu vaccine, and just vaccines in general, I figured I would pass it along. I want to say from the outset that his statements are based on real science and evidence unlike many of those who are against vaccination...anyway enjoy.

I recommend watching his other videos and subscribing to him, his channel can be found here.

Thank Goodness!

So this story caught my attention today.

In general the parents of a young girl whose daughter died because instead of seeking medical attention let her suffer through complications of diabetes were sentenced today to 6 months in jail and 10 years probation. I am happy for this decision because being a diabetic myself I know two things 1) the complications of diabetes while not painful are very draining I have never been so tired in my life and 2) in the 21st century when we have the drugs to make life very comfortable and live a long time with diabetes you should be forced to treat it. It will also make parents seek medical treatment for a sick child instead of just praying for them.

The judge had this to say:

'God probably works through other people,' Howard told the parents, 'some of them doctors.'

That is fine even if you believe in God there is no reason to seek medical treatment for a disease because without it life expectancy would be much shorter sort of like it was in the middle ages.

The parents had this to say:

'I do not regret trusting truly in the Lord for my daughter's health,' she said. 'Did we know she had a fatal illness? No. Did we act to the best of our knowledge? Yes.'

Dale Neumann, 47, read from the Bible and told the judge that he loved his daughter.

'I am guilty of trusting my Lord's wisdom completely. ... Guilty of asking for heavenly intervention. Guilty of following Jesus Christ when the whole world does not understand. Guilty of obeying my God,' he said.

First to the mother:

You didn't know your daughter had a fatal illness? Let me describe what happens before people typically get diagnosed:
1) They become thirsty to the point that they are unbelievably thirsty (I would drink multiple hydrating drinks and still thirsty).
2) The need to use the bathroom is almost as bad (I was using the bathroom every hour)
3) Hunger is slowly getting replaced by the wanting to drink (I never was hungry I would only want to drink the only reason I ate was because I knew I had to)
4) People lose weight very quickly (over the course of a few months I lost 40 pounds [I put 15 pounds on the first night I was in the hospital])
All of this was noticeable in to other people which is why I finally went to the hospital but she was even worse than I was she apparently was unable to speak, eat, or drink.

To the father:

You are not guilty of following Jesus' word in fact I had many a christian say to me that Jesus tells us to seek out those who can help us in this world.

Assistant District Attorney LaMont Jacobson said justice was served by the sentences, but he was disappointed the parents never said they were sorry for what happened.

Your kid died the least you can do it feel bad about it.

I don't know if their is a God or not but if there is, to those who think we shouldn't use medicine, and he made us he gave us a big brain that has gotten us to where we are, why can't we use it?

Randomness

I know I haven't posted in a while but as I said earlier I would probably be busy over the next few weeks and I have. This time is actually rare for at least another week so don't expect the posts to be rolling out anytime soon but anyway onto the post. This post is going to be pretty random I came across some things on conservapedia I want to address but it should still be a pretty short post.

The first one is this:

Homeschooling has
increased 74% from 1999 and 36% from 2003, according to a report recently
released by the U.S. Department of Education last month. Reasons cited include
"to provide religious or moral instruction" (36%), "concern about school
environment" (21%), and "dissatisfaction with academic instruction" (17%).

I do not like that people are shying away from schooling in general but I will agree there are areas in this country that need a serious overhaul in the education systme so that is a good enough reason to pull people out. I really don't have any problem with people being homeschooled for the most part but it was with the first reason that most people are homescooled, "to provide religious or moral instruction." While I have no problem with people believing in God it needs to be a clear destinction between what is faith and what is actually known and trying to teach both religion and science/history at home blurs the line but I guess that is why people do that because they don't think that science is right. The article they are talking about is: http://www.hslda.org/docs/link.asp?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ledger-enquirer.com%2Fnews%2Fstory%2F742241.html&

Next:

Another tragedy from unattended video game playing as a
11-year-old Mississippi boy accidentally
killed his 9-year-old brother with a shotgun blast Tuesday as the two
struggled over the gun after arguing about a video game, authorities said. "The
younger brother allegedly got mad because he got beat at some video games and
got the gun," Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson said. [28]

No this is not a tragedy from unattedned video game playing it is a tragedy caused by piss poor parenting. I have no people owning guns but if you are you need to teach your kids what they are used for and you also need to make sure that they are scured exceptionally well especially if you have children.

And finally:

The killer at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum,
James von Brunn, was a white supremacist and also an evolutionary racist. James von
Brunn wrote that "Only the strong survive. Cross breeding whites with species on
the evolutionary scale diminishes the white gene-pool while increasing the
number of physiologically, psychologically, and behaviorally deprived
mongrels."[15] The evolutionist Charles Darwin was also an evolutionary racist. The shooter, James von Brunn, also
appears to have had close ties to neo-Nazis and his ex-wife said his
anti-semitism and racist hate "ate him alive like a cancer". [16][17] Adolf Hitler was also a
rabid evolutionary racist.[18][19]

This, the shooting, is a tragedy but what they are trying to do here is just sick. Racists use evolution to suit their views the same way that conservapedia is using this shooting to suit their's. Evolution does not support killing those of other "races" from your own. As a scientific theory evolution only states that this is what happens in nature what we do to ourselves is not what nature is doing to us. Nature did not act upon that gun a crazy person did that is what it comes down to. I am sure that this guy "believed" in gravity as well so should we say that all people who believe in gravity are racist? All of these arguments have been addressed much better than I can do it and will be many more times but I just wanted to point out what was going on.

As always leave any feedback you want.
