Oh yes,
If you think that I really care about: http://deniswolf.net/post/24283242817/religion-and-all-all-all and http://deniswolf.net/post/24282582308/42-01 … Nah, I don’t care. Was just playing around with text and language after watching Religulous*.
*BTW, it has a lot of references to different religions and names of a lot of gods, so, obviously, I cannot recommend it to my jewish brothers and sisters. Don’t you dare to take a peek!

Religion and all all all
Why people are shut whenever it’s about nuclear physics, but imagine themselves experts in Universe whenever it’s about religions and Genesis?
Because it’s so easy! You always have excuse like ‘oh, it’s my religion, views and believes!’.
And even more: whenever one sees visions and hear voices it’s considered as madness and medicated. But when the same illness have anything with religion… you cannot touch it!
Even further: politicians are not allowed to be intime with prostitues or cheat on their wives in other way, but… they are allowed to lead people for murders and wars on basis of… few books. That are approved by science on the same level as any fiction - and by that I mean ‘not at all’.
I call for mass medication and treatment, I call for education instead of mystification, I call for sense and reason.
And even while it was stated thousand of times, billions are influenced by scums and lunatics.

Life, Universe and everything
That’s how I understand things for now. Comment, please, if needed.
Let’s put away all mystifications and propaganda and look at world as we (educated middle class in Western civilization) know it now. We have already enough of answers to Universe to live with knowledge, not blind faith or fear. And on that let’s count:
Life and Death
pro:
Genetic shows that our genes are inherited by children and close to those of siblings. So person lives as genetical material after death in his children and relatives. And social sciences are talking about about a half of behavior and habits being inherited from learning and live examples. And on that we all live in people we communicate with.
cons:
Visions of light, persons etc in state close to death are documented, but those are hallucinations of damaged or stressed brain.
Genesis
pro:
There are few theories how Universe was created. Physicists are working on them. There are more detailed and stated theories about Earth and Solar system. With no mysterieas or supernatural powers. Talking about humans and all other species: theory of evolution is stated as current most approved theory. As for now - only minor details could be changed, while we have great basis of approves and facts.
cons:
It’s stated that Universe cannot be created in few days. Or in few thousands. Even more - there are fact and evidences that humans exist at least for more then hundred thousand years, while Earth exists for few bilions of years, at least. There is no any evidences of supernatural influence at any level.
Creator
pro:
There are laws of sociology, biology, physic etc. They just are. We discover more and more of them, while polishing our understanding. We can test and approve them.
cons:
There is no approval or disapproval of any entity behind them. People who hear ‘voices’ and see ‘visions’ are approved to be insane or under influence of drugs. It was medically approved.
Infidels
pro:
Even now science changes every day and scientific views progress. Some of old theories was corrected, approved of disapproved. But still they are tested, evaluated and documented.
cons:
Through all history there were few general ideas behind religious and philosophical views:
- to keep control over masses
- to get money from naives
- to explain existence based on pure fiction
- to explain existence based on facts
Last one dominated nowadays, because it can approve itself while based on facts and observations. Scientific facts while instantly tested and approved, cannot lead to dominance of a person or group of persons. Even though there are a lot of attempts to copycat science for political purposes. But whenever you see as science is used for excuses to get money or power - it’s not science anymore.
Universe
pro:
It’s huge and barely possible to understand in whole.
cons:
But we know more and more of it. And all supernatural statements from religions are discovered to be wrong, often on purpose or if not wrong could be explained in scientific way without any supernatural entities, mysteries or miracles.
The end of days
pro:
We have enough information to say that humans, life on Earth or Earth itself could be destroyed.
cons:
None of those information includes supernatural powers, but physical (nuclear bombs, for example), biological (viruses), political (wars) or astronomical (comets, meteorites) reasons.

On Simplicity and JavaScript
Language is one of those amazing things that we experience everyday on every level.
Greatest writers and young children use it. One use it while lecturing and while drunk (or both at the same time). It could be different, richer or poorer dependable on the context, but it is still the same. And what makes it so flexible and adequate for each and every situation - is simplicity. From streets to academies the core of the language is the same, basic words either.
With that, while we have basic core of JavaScript and it’s stable and performance-acceptable, all those toppings alike CoffeeScript, ClojureScript whatsoever - are valid and have future. And they will fix most of those flaws and problems with stupidity of W3C, idiotic decisions of TC39 etc will be compensated and smoothed by brave and wise users.
So the hell with ECMAScript 6 and IE - let’s write what we want and make people love it.
