My Normal and Paranormal Adventures in Kazakhstan:

Peace Edip,
Great post! bravo bravo bravo

Unfortunately I knew that for many people Martian thieves were the first explanation for the disappearing socks phenomenon!
This is fully absurd. Everybody knows that it is the sock gremling who take a single sock from a pair to cause havoc in the house. I enjoyed the read. Good work. From the pictures I could see that you felt in an ethical dilemma regarding the scam artists. You really shouldn't. In your company the guy admitted to his err and tried to correct it. He may fall back to his wrong ways but that is not your concern. Prison is not justice.
I am having a debate on youtube atm. about the authority of Bukhari, with with a friendly Sunni. He offered up the explanation that Bukhari saw the prophet in a dream and in this lies is authority. I had never heard that before, I must admit, but I cant help but to draw parallels to a similar story- Do I hear 'John' ...anyone ?
Looking forward to your list of oddities. 100 would be putting a hard limit on yourself. Good ol' fish hat is far from the most disturbing example all though the current ones name is extremely funny in the context. Rat Singer...pied piper? p

Great reading! Sort of felt sorry for the guy with the 'powers' when I saw the photos. I imagined him first as being quite burly and living in splendor if he's making $2000 a show. His apt looked kind of squalid though. Well done for unraveling his scam. Boggles my mind how he actually did it. Kind of ingenious, especially as it looked to have been made out of rudimentary parts. I imagine he could make money using his talents in a stage show. Is this article up anywhere else Edip and how are the videos coming along? Dying to see the debates and the rest.

You are right about the restriction... I might rank the first ten or twenty of them with some details and discussion, and then list the rest. It will not exceed 200 pages. I would like to learn more about your Good ol' Fish story.
The list will include examples of logical contradictions, physical contradictions, internal contradictions... I might have difficulty with defining miracles and making an exception for them in the second category, that is contradictions with the laws of physics.
The first oddity will be 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, which is a perfect example of all the three contradictions. Of course, half of the moon falling in Ali's backyard and monkeys applying the stoning-to-death punishment will be in the list of top 20.
Peace,

http//www.wwyd.org/images/dagon_pope%20hat_3.jpg <-this fool is wearing a fish on his head for some reason. Legend has it...that it can be traced back to Dagon worship. Knowing the history of the catholic church I personally think that is slander against Dagon worshippers, but there could be something to that theory still. I have this pet idea that right behind every genuine world teacher there is a crowd of ...well I don't know whom, but they seem to be into the business of constructing religions from these teachers messages Religions that all end up looking the bloody same. And being arrogant pricks like elitists usually are, even in the small (think vegans, PETA here) they cant help but to plaster everything they touch with their logos to send out the message to those 'in the know'. In fact, you dont have to look any further than any random youth counter culture to find this same pattern in place. On e.g t-shirts that states stuff people outside the culture is not supposed 'to get'. So whomever they are, they certainly flash their double squares, twin or tri pillars, fishes, Chessboard patterns, pentagrams etc etc etc... You will find them (and often in combination) in Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, masonic temples and it all means something good, supposedly. Oh well...pet ideas. They are like ears. But the fish hat is still absolutely ridiculous and it does look suspiciously like a stylized version of the Dagons priests headgear.

Edip, check this one out; ;D (Sorry John mate, but it is kinda funny!)

And on top of this I am thinking about the strange custom of corpse eating and blood drinking obviously, even if it is in effigy. Imagine you have never heard about religion, you are one of the few happy unawares out there and then you run into a nice freindly bloke all dressed in black who takes you to his ...well you assume it is a social club of sorts, with a magnificent club house and in there you are offered to drink blood and eat flesh, what would your initial reaction be? Personally you wouldn't be able to tell my behind from my shoe soles. It is the strangest of stuff that seeps down the generations, especially regarding our indoctrinated faiths.

Peace Edip,
I cannot stress enough how important I believe your activities are. Spreading the message of God in front of a PC monitor is one thing, but getting out there and doing the same thing in the real world is a greater level (in my opinion). It opens up possibilities that are just not possible in cyberspace.
Having an international outlook is crucial, I mean, who knows, Khazakstan just might respond well to God-Alone, making it fertile ground for development and reform - we just won't know if we don't try. Which is why I praise your works and anyone else who contributes, I pray that God gives you the strength to carry on, and that the way is paved for you.
God be with you.
PS,
I love your style of writing.
i believe internet is good to get educated on the subject, debating with other people about these issues online won't have the same impact as doing it in their face

I definately agree with you on this, Jibreel... And that picture shouldn't be funny, but, for some reason, it's HILARIOUS... rotfl

This is unusually funny.
