Lilith eZine helps save a life

This isn't hatemail, its fanmail. It gave us all an uplifting feeling, a feeling that we've made a difference in someone's life:

Hi!

I just found your site when I searched for christian mythology. I liked what you said about what is the point to life if not to improve things. I sent it to a suicidal 20 year old girl who thanked me for it.

I'd like to show you my site and another one I support:

www.eqi.org (Emotional Intelligence)

It is about emotions, EI and emotional abuse as well as teen suicide.

Here is the other site, exclusively about teen suicide:

www.whatdepresses.me

Please have a look.

Thanks
Steve

PS. I made a small donation. :)


Its very rewarding to know we've helped save a life. After all, what is the point of life unless we use it to improve the lives of the people around us and improve the world we hold so dear?

Biased views towards the Conservatives in Canada

I'd like comment on your biased views towards the Conservatives. You say how "racist" they are and yet the very first policy of the Green Party is to screen immigrants for criminal records, if that isn't considered racist then what is? Banning same-sex marriage? By the way, if 75% of the population is voting for the NDP/Green/Liberals then why are the Conservatives in power now? Maybe because the Liberals have a dumb ass leader who doesn't know what he is talking about and now the Conservatives have a leader with a brain, heart, intelligence and integrity. How can you support the NDP and Liberals and their views on "spreading the wealth"? As a student I can say that if we are going to spread the wealth then there will be no motivation to be intelligent and succeed in school because my friend who lives on the street will be recieving the same salary as me when I become a doctor! Stupid much? Overall, the Conservatives are not "ConservaNAZIS," they are the only party in Canada that actually has a head on their shoulders and not only a head, but a brain! They are also not in Afghanistan to fight for oil, only the retarded Canadian failures believe that, they are there to fight the war on terrorism. Because if they don't stop it over there, what's going to happen to us over here? Maybe a terrorist attack. I don't think that you should be criticizing and scrutinizing Stephen Harper when he has kept you, me and the rest of Canada safe for the past 3 years. Remember the time 16 terrorists were caught in Toronto, guess who was behind the investigation of them, Stephen Harper! He is looking out for the well being of Canadians unlike Ignatieff who is only back after 34 years to try to be PM, and I'm guessing if he loses he'll be on his way back to Britain or America because he's not in it for you, only himself. Get your facts straight before posting them on a website you ignorant and arrogant feminist scum.

OUR RESPONSE:

Hello!

I am just going correct a few things while I answer your email.

#1. The Canadian government already screens immigrants for criminal records. That is nothing new. Otherwise Canada would become a haven for criminals from the USA and elsewhere.

#2. The Conservatives are in power right now because they won a minority government. A minority government is any party that wins the most seats in parliament, but not enough seats to form a majority.

#3. Stephen Harper has a brain? Ha. You made me laugh. You probably think George W. Bush is a genius then right? Harper is a hack. He just copies other people's policies and adopts them as his own. He even copied the speech from the Australian prime minister a year ago word-for-word.

#4. I support the Liberals because I believe that taxes now unfairly target the general populace, as compared to 60+ years ago when taxes were focused more on corporations. After WWII taxes were roughly 80% corporate and 20% general populace, but during the last 64 years the (Progressive) Conservative Party has cut taxes on corporations and raised taxes on the general populace (Brian Mulroney's GST for example) so that the distribution is now roughly 40% corporate taxes and 60% taxes on the general populace. Do you think that is fair?

#5. Liberalism is not the same as Communism. You seem to be confusing the two. I like you feel that doctors/etc should be paid more than service workers. If anything I am in favour of increasing the amount doctors in Canada are paid so we can prevent brain drain to the USA and increase the number of people interested in becoming doctors.

#6. I support the war in Afghanistan. I think the Liberals under Jean Chretien were absolutely right going to war there and NOT go to war in Iraq (also a decision made while Chretien was still in power).

#7. I don't believe Canada will ever be targeted by terrorism. Nobody wants revenge on us.

#8. Harper didn't keep Canada safe from terrorism. The decision to go to war in Afghanistan was Chretien's. Harper may try to take the credit for the war in Afghanistan, but it was the Liberals who made the decision to go there in 2001. Harper only got into power in February 2006.

#9. Stephen Harper had nothing to do with the capture of those 16 terrorists in Ontario. He just happened to be in power at the time. The RCMP had been conducting surveillance on that group for years before Harper was elected in a minority government.

Maybe you should get your facts straight before you send out hatemail?

Sincerely,
Charles Moffat

US Economy & Banking

THANK YOU for that very clear paragraph on the US economy/banking.

I have read many articles, but no one really stated it the way you did.....on the other hand I hate dealing with money so my education and understanding of economics is suspect!!!!

OUR RESPONSE:

Thanks!

We do try to make things easy to understand. The trick is sifting through the technical jargon in the first place to grasp the truth without all the extra fluffy words.

We dedicated over a month creating the United States article in an effort to accurately and concisely sum up the history and economics of the USA.

Victoria Van Dyke: Thought Provoking


This is for Victoria Van Dyke...

So I have to say I think your art on the Lilith Gallery is more than interesting. I found my way here because I was doing some research on Stephen Harper (yes, I know - he's a tool) and I came across the photos you did of him with Stockwell Day. I had a peek through your work here and on some other sites too. I found it very thought provoking and just wanted to send you a message that wasn't hate mail. The site seemed to imply you get A LOT - so just a :) from me. Anyway - I like your work and hope to see more in the future.

I hope your fourth toe doesn't miss it's neighbour too much -

Take care,
Victoria S.

Funny Fanmail Facebook Blabble






One of our fans sent us these funny Blabble images from Facebook. We especially liked the Paris Hilton one.

Feminist Propaganda


I have found a page on your website:

Dealing with Antifeminism

You show a picture of an "All Women Are Bitches" Knifeblock.

However, either you yourself, or someone else has purposefully altered this picture from the original which is attached to this e-mail WITH the proper disclaimer that seems to have conveniently disappeared...

I find this extremely dishonest of you, and it only supports anti-feminist arguments that honesty and honour have absolutely no home within feminist "logic."

This picture was made as a protest against the BLATANT promotion of deadly violence against males, which in its country of origin is SUPPOSED to be illegal. However, it is not. It would however, if it were an "All Women are Bitches" Knifeblock, wouldn't it?

Shame on you for your own blatant propaganda and manipulations.

The more that people like you resort to this kind of dishonesty, the more you steel the spines of those who want to make your sick agenda disappear.

I would be more than happy to highlight this dishonesty of yours all over the internet, if you truly believe that this is the proper way for you convince others of your cause. In fact, I know of lots of people who would delight in such blatant proof of feminist dishonesty.

Rob Fedders robfedders@yahoo.ca

OUR RESPONSE:

We found that image on an anti-feminist website.

Sincerely,
Charles Moffat

HIS RESPONSE:

I don't doubt that is where you found it. It can be found in many places, and certainly feminists don't care two hoots about the violence men suffer so I believe you that you didn't find it at Pandagon. But it pretty much always appears with the disclaimer that states WHY it is the way it is. I doubt it was altered by an anti-feminist, and if it was, it would have been in a post about the "All Men Are Bastards" Knifeblock. The form you have posted is altered, and therefore purposefully innaccurate and misleading. Also, now you know it is innaccurate and misleading, which would make you somewhat libellous, don't you think? You now have a copy of the original.

If I find a purposefully altered quotation, and use it while full well knowing that it is altered to be misleading... that would make me a ???

Like I said, I don't have any qualms about spreading it around what you have on your site. I care about your cause as little as you care about mine. I, however, adhere to some basic morals - most likely to my disadvantage. But anti-feminists just love it when feminist sites get caught with their panties down. Posting that picture in an altered form is blatantly dishonest.

Do you support violence against human beings? This is a protest against violence - period. Yet, your dishonesty has taken a protest against violence, shown said protest in an altered form, and you insinnuate innaccurately that men are encouraging violence against women - and you know it!

What are you going to do with your moral superiority?

OUR RESPONSE:

Question:

Do you believe women have the right to freedom of speech?

To vote?

To divorce?

To be free from domestic abuse?

To bear children when they wish to?

We find your response regarding the knife block image quite amusing, but frankly not much of one. The image was cropped because it took up too much space and felt too much like an advertisement.

You seem to have taken it rather personally. It is just an image. Get over it.

Also, with regards to the questions above we believe that if you answer No to any of them is basically a vote in favour of slavery.

Because when you take away a person's rights that is exactly what happens: Slavery.

We'd like to pound that idea into your thick skull, hence this email, but we don't really expect it to work. Most men are stuck in their ways and a lost cause after the age of 24.

In conclusion that article "Dealing with Antifeminism" isn't meant for you. It is meant for our female readers and those men who haven't been blinded by misogyny and bitterness.

Sincerely,
Charles Moffat and Suzanne MacNevin

(We found this guy particularly idiotic and funny. He fussed and fussed over a simple image that we cropped and he used that as proof that feminists are somehow corrupt liars. He basically went on an anti-feminist rant over nothing. We're guessing he is a deadbeat dad. If you do a Google search for his email "robfedders@yahoo.ca" you will find him active on a number of anti-feminist websites. Apparently he takes women hating very seriously.)

OUR RESPONSE:

Suck my balls, I'm as capitalist as they come.

damn liberals

I read some of the garbage you damn liberals profess to believe. I can just sit back and chuckle because I thank God for President Bush every day. Put that in one of your drug pipes and smoke it!

Jim Ashbrook taylor-rental@qtm.net

OUR RESPONSE:

I think you'll eventually regret praising George W. Bush. Unless you like killing Arabs for some strange reason totally separate from terrorism-related-vengeance?

And for your information I don't smoke, rarely drink and I avoid pain killers.

Quebec Separatist Nonsense

In my travels over the internet I came across your website and your links with the Lilith Gallery. It is clear that you have very able talent as an artist and although I am not a professional art critic there is a depth in your work that demonstrates your passion, youth and understanding of your subject. However the part of you that interested me the most was your article that you wrote on the Lilith-ezine titled 'Canadian Unity Vs. Quebec Separation' in 2005.

To let you know a little about me. I am from Scotland and have lived in Quebec City for seven years. I am a member of the Parti and Bloc Quebecois and have also worked at the Assemblée Nationale here in Quebec City.

While I admire your passion for politics, it is clear from your article that you have virtually no understanding of Quebec politics. Maybe you aspire to involve yourself oneday activly in Canadian politics and I encourage you to do so. However Canadian politics and Quebec politics are very different and you are very much out of your depth as the ignorance in your article proved.

I am not going to critique your article word for word as I have no wish to humiliate you, unless that you really wish that I highlight the ignorance and weaknesses in your arguments. What I will say is this

Unless (this applies to anyone not just you)

a. You live in Quebec
b. You speak French fluently
c. You read/listen/watch news/debates on Quebec politics in French & English on a regular basis

then your opinions/views on Canada-Quebec relations are absolutley worthless. Of course you are entitled to your opinions, but if you really wish to have any sense of credibiltiy for yourself then I suggest that you concentrate either soley on your art or limit your opinions to that of Canada (where they speak English) and not of Quebec.

You finished your article with a big bold 'I am Canadian'. I admire people like you who have a strong faith in their identity and country. It demonstrates a confidence and a maturity. You cannot however impose an identity on someone. My wife and my daughter are Quebecoise not Canadian and Canada will never be their country even if in their lifetime Quebec never becomes a sovereign country. I hope you are one of the few Canadians to understand that.

I wish you well with your work and please feel free to reply if you so wish.

Ashley Watson, Quebec City hagusquebec@yahoo.ca

OUR RESPONSE:

Hello Ashley!

So what you are saying is that if I am not born and raised in Quebec then I am not allowed to have an opinion even though Quebec is part of Canada?

Let us both stop and consider what you're saying...

If an immigrant comes to Canada, speaks English, settles in Quebec City, and lives here for years becoming a Canadian citizen you're saying his or her views on Quebec Separatism are completely invalid?

Could you please explain why you consider a person's perspective, opinions, and indeed their vote is invalid?

I don't think you've sufficiently explained why a person's opinion (especially a Canadian citizen's opinion) would not be important to the ongoing discussion.

You are after all from Scotland, and therefore even after 7 years you cannot be expected to be completely fluent in French. Why should I listen to your opinion?

As a Canadian (regardless of whether I was born here and speak either of its two major languages) and since Quebec is part of Canada I see no reason why I can't discuss ANY part of Canada.

I don't predict any one from Cape Breton Island (where they speak Scottish Gaelic) in Nova Scotia complaining about me talking about Cape Breton Island/Scottish Gaelic.

Do you even speak Scottish Gaelic?

Slan leat!

Christian Fairy Tales

Wow why such worlds about the bible? You should'nt be putting that on the internet. A lot of people would not agree on that. Come on, thats blaphemy. I felt very insulted when you said it was a fairy tale. It's not "wacko", but maybe for me it's a way of preparing. The Bible does not have a negative point view. Yes, I know a few people grew up with bible w/e they believe in and I respect that but please at least don't post it as a joke.

Thank you,
Jamie F. =) greekangel@hotmail.com

OUR RESPONSE:

What website are you talking about?

We have several websites that refer to Christian mythology. We try to compare all mythology on an equal footing, regardless of whether anyone currently believes in it.

Sexuality of fat women

I strongly disagree with the following statement:

Snacking on potato chips, gurgling sugar-water like Coca-Cola and gorging yourself on Twinkies and chocolate is what makes you obese or overweight.

Simply untrue. Eating tonnes of junk food does not make you fat. Its genetics. People seem to think that people who are fat, actually do the above things. It’s a gross generalization, and the writer should be publicly eviscerated for such an ignorant statement.

Katie Amey kamey@bronskill.ca

OUR RESPONSE:

The writer was being sarcastic and using junk food examples.

And sorry to inform you, but if it was genetics then why weren't people so obese 50 or 100 years ago? Any dietitian or doctor will tell you eating habits is the largest contributing factor to obesity.

silly little b*tch

fuck you. iron my shirt you silly little bitch.

From lesbo@eatcunt.com

(We didn't bother to respond to this obviously fake email address.)

brave jews

You know you jews are pretty brave to put up your article on Christianity. Not only is everything you state completely unfounded but you don't even have the sources listed to back up any of your assertians. You dare publish this on the internet without proof? I hope you can do better in future.

Troy Fergus fergus.troy@gmail.com

OUR RESPONSE:

Which article about Christianity are you referring to and by which author?

We have many articles that make fun of Christianity by a multitude of authors.

PS. I'm not Jewish. I'm an atheist. I'd rather cease existing when I die than worry about that heaven and hell nonsense.

Praise Jesus!

I read Chuck Moffat's piece about Stockwell Day, poor guy. Chuck really got him didn't he.

http://www.lilith-ezine.com/articles/canada/The_Prank_That_Destroyed_StockwellDay.html

You know, most christians, if they were honest, would probably admit to hating you and everything you stand for. As for me, I honestly believe that you guys hide behind the human failings of christians in order to avoid the prodding of the holy spirit. You know what I mean. That tugging at your heart. Those fears you try to suppress at night before you go to sleep when all of the images of the day go through your mind. You know in your heart that christians, as inept and as foolish as they sometimes can be, are telling the truth when they talk about Jesus and what He did for all of us. You can criticize christians all you want, you can protest their seemingly archaic beliefs, you can make fun of them for their un-pc convictions but you can't fight the Truth with your opinions. Bottom line is this: Jesus died for you and now you have to make a decision. There's no way around it, guys. I'm not talking about going to church on Sunday morning, all dressed up and all. I'm talking about admitting and coming to terms with the fact that we are all sinners in His eyes and there's only one way to be forgiven. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by Me." And so I leave you with those happy thoughts. I urge you to make the right decision.

In Christ.

David Boyce acadianpoet@yahoo.ca

OUR RESPONSE:

According to religious historians Jesus didn't die on the cross. He lived and later died of old age in France. He was just a charlatan and a trickster. All of his so-called miracles are simply parlour tricks.

But that is much harder for you to believe isn't it? You'd rather believe in angels, ghosts and leprechauns. Believing that Jesus was just an ordinary man who tricked people is too simple for you. You'd rather believe in a fantasy.

I'm immune to your foolishness. Don't bother.

The Hottest Year

Before posting ridiculous titles with the claim, "2005-THE HOTTEST YEAR IN RECORDED HISTORY" maybe you might want to try and think about crediting your sources so it actually might look like you (or the person responsible for the article) know what you are talking about...which you have completely abandoned. I know, unfortunately, that many people will probably agree with you though...sad!!


http://www.lilith-ezine.com/articles/2005/hothothot-2005.html


Funny how the article doesn't say anything about the day in California (I believe it was in the 1800's) when it was so hot, corn fields started on fire...that's a little hotter than anything we have ever seen.

Thom McHugh cdukshn@yahoo.com

OUR RESPONSE:

The day you are referring to is a folk legend, similar to the cow that
kicked over a lantern and burnt down Chicago. If such a fire actually
happened, its more likely it was set on purpose or by accident. Plants
don't self-combust.

And besides, who cares about California?

That article is specifically about TORONTO. A northern city that
rarely gets temperatures above 32 C.

No one cares if California gets record breaking heat. But its a much
more interesting day when a northern city like Toronto does.

HIS RESPONSE:

Dolt, there's less people in toronto (a hole I had the misfortune of working in) that care about that stupid stat than you think. I know for a fact that many foreigners that move to canada, end up moving to the U.S., I fully understand their choice.
Anything will, "self-combust" if the surrounding temperatures are great enough...wow you're really up there on the intelligence scale huh? Do you have any idea what happens when a fire, "flashes"?
More idiots like you isn't what canada needs!
Nice job libithgallery.
I am so glad you sent me this, I think I'll send it to O'reilley, Hannity, and maybe even Savage.

OUR RESPONSE:

Then why are you reading an eZine meant for Toronto residents?

The temperature required for corn to self combust is likely in the
range of 200 to 1000 C. There is no way it was ever that hot.

Sure, ANYTHING can combust if you set the temperature high enough. But
do you honestly think corn can combust at a temperature between 40 to
100 C? At 100 C the water inside the corn would boil and evaporate,
but that is not going to make it start on fire.

Comparing immigrants is hardly a way of comparing societies and you
provided no statistical evidence to support your invalid argument.

HIS RESPONSE:

The best thing of all, since you want to refer to ignorance, is the fact that the intention of my initial message was to find source information backing up your arguments.
Now you want to steal my strategy...what great initiative. Ya, I think it's abooot time you come up with something original, and factual, EH? Hate mail? LOL!

OUR RESPONSE:

You have a rather bizarre way of asking for source material.

We get a lot of our source/factual material from the Toronto Star, the
New York Times, the Globe and Mail, Statistics Canada and
the CIA World Factbook.

We highly recommend the CIA World Factbook.

n*ggers, J*ws, and f*gs

Is that the best you can do?

Haha.

Go back to your trailer park where you belong loser. Leave the internet to people with brains.

the only reason you hate bush

listen, the only reason you hate bush is because you listen to assholes, without bush we'd have fucking illegals stealing money, complaining, etc. if bush is a racist, then why has he elected more blacks for congress, did clinton, no! he was to busy rejecting the use of tanks in black hawk down, a.k.a. the mission liberals (hippies) don't listen to. so get the clear facts and shut your mouth!

tom@verizon.net

OUR RESPONSE:

Get your own facts straight.

George W. Bush has no control over who gets elected to congress. People vote on
that. Bush isn't even legally allowed to comment on those elections
because of partisanship.

All politicians are idiots. Using an obscure example of Clinton hardly
justifies your statements.

Also, Clinton is the one who sent US forces into the Balkans (the war that inspired Black Hawk Down). He certainly wasn't protesting a war that he sent troops into.

Liberals does NOT equal Hippies. There are quite a few Republicans who
are hippies too (just look at California).

Even with Bush, you still have illegal immigrants "stealing money" in
the first place. That's not going to stop. Indeed, Bush has actually
encouraged illegal immigrants by saying that Mexicans no longer need
green cards to work in the USA (and then he flip-flopped on that issue
a week later).

Anorexia Vs Obesity

hey my comment is about your article Anorexia Vs Obesity In North America but read what you wrote first and then see my comment below please

i bet you never have been over weight in your life an i am not talking like omg 5 pounds kind of thing. like having to be on a diet and the will power it takes, you say your 5'9" in your article you can eat way more cause your taller. i am 5'7 now and when i was around 7 or so i started to get a little bigger and i was so embarassed i got MADE FUN OF like you are saying is o.k cause people hackel smokers it is not it the same it emostionaly scars you and you probably havent had anythign bad said about your weight to an extent. and you think it is easy to be bigger and not do somethign but you give up because you are depessed and dont think you are worth much cause that is how people treat you. so once i entered grade 9 or so i was up to 182 and saw my picture and thought i have to do soething. so i stared dieting using atkins and of course once you start to lose weight everyone compliments you and you dont want to stop. so my weight started to drop, when i got back to sc!
hool september at age 14 and in grade 10 i started to lose more weight even though i was perfectly averege at 5'5 or so. on Febuary 16th 2005 i was checked into the hospital for anorexia and i had to have an IV and i had a horible heart reading that had my dr afrraid. so i was already on anti dep and anti anxiety meds so the uped the dosege and to keep myself from cutting which had become an on goign thing for that past year. i stayed in hospital for a month to get better and the time i left i had gained 7 pounds. now i am aproching my 16th birthday on dec.9th and i am still dealign with anorexia and reading your article made me cry on how you can pass judgement on somethign that you have never experence how can you think that people who are overweight want to be that way you arn helping thenm by making fun of them ist is there choice to get help cause if it was yoru body wouldnt you already know all the diets out there and what you need to do your not helping. they arnt !
all lazy they are scared and the barrier of fat they put up to keep an
yone from knowing the real them cause they dont think it is good enough. HOW CAN YOU pass judgement on what you havent felt. all i ask is for you to not pass judgement untill you know about that person please

please get back to me of you can my adress is popualtion_you@hotmail.com

OUR RESPONSE:

Actually, both Suzy and I have had weight problems in the past, and
its not "just 5 lbs" as you suggest.

In Suzy's case, when she was between the ages of 11 and 15 she gained
a lot of weight until she weighed about 200 lbs. When she turned 16,
she started becoming more active and cutting back on the sweets. Then
in university, she relapsed and gained a lot of her weight back.

Its only in the last couple of years that she's managed to lose the
weight she gained back in university.

I guess she doesn't mention her own weight problems on the website
because she's afraid people won't take her seriously if they knew that
she was a "weight yo-yo".

My own weight issues are less severe, but I did lose 20 lbs due to
friends making fun of me and asking when the baby is due. I'm proud of
my new weight.

Both Suzy and I are now health buffs and enjoy going to the gym regularly.

Sincerely,
Alex

I don't know if you can actually call this crap art. this shit is seriously childish and is obviously some stupid imature publicity stunt. the photographs are horrid, and the words used for the self portait rat drawings were obviosuly done by some 13 yearold wet-blanket sob story. I feel the need to say that if you wish to make a serious impact on people then stop using such mindless penis material.
