Abel

Abel is the mythical second son of the equally mythical Adam and Eve from Genesis, the first book of the Bible. He has the distinction of being the "first" person on record to be murdered. The murder was committed by his older brother, Cain, who made the mistake of offering a vegetarian sacrifice to Yahweh.
==The story==
As punishment for Adam and Eve wanting to be more like him (i.e. knowing something was right or wrong before doing it rather than after) Yahweh cursed the very soil, which caused it to grow thorny weeds. Adam had to work his butt off just to put food on the table. When his first-born son Cain was old enough, he pitched in with dad and helped out in the field like a good boy.
Adam's snotty second-born son, Abel, preferred to just walk around the hills with his sheep, which could not even be eaten because Yahweh did not authorize a meat diet for humanity until after the Flood (). The only thing Abel could do with the sheep he spent all his time raising was offer them to Yahweh as a burnt holocaust. So Abel became the second person (after Yahweh made Adam and Eve some fur coats) to perform the act of killing.
One day Cain brought to Yahweh, in good faith, some of the fruit of the ground he had actually managed to grow (despite the soil being cursed) to offer in thanksgiving to the one who cursed it, but Yahweh had no respect for his offering, despite Cain being the first-born and natural heir to Adam's priestly ministry, because it didn't involve blood at all. So Cain, scratching his head and trying to figure out the rules, decided to kill his brother. Perhaps the killing pleased the Lord, because he saw to it that Cain would never really be punished for his deed: supposedly he would become a vagabond, but (per ) he settled down with a family and founded a city, and God insured that no one would kill him for what he had done (so much for capital punishment!).

Abomination

Abomination is a term frequently used in the King James Version English translation of the Bible to refer to acts that are abhorrent to the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic God, a.k.a. Yahweh, Jehovah, or Allah. The English word "abomination" as used in the Bible is a translation of at least four different Hebrew words so, how exact can it be?
Similar to the term "degenerate" used by the alt-right, it is an example of the appeal to disgust fallacy, basically stating, "This thing is bad because God thinks it's icky!"
==List==
Such acts include but surely are not limited to:
# Images and other paraphernalia of forbidden cults (, )
# The practice of witchcraft and kindred arts ()
# Eating animals that are regarded as unclean
#* Seafood that lacks fins and scales ()
#* Insects other than locusts, crickets and grasshoppers ()
# The falsification of weights and measures (, )
# Evil thoughts ()
# Evil deeds ()
# On occasion, lewdness and harlotry (, , , )
# Wearing clothes woven with different fabrics, or planting different crops in the same field (, )
# Homosexuality (, )
==Punishment==
Public stoning was frequently seen as being a fitting punishment for engaging in abominations. Lesser abominations resulted in being "shut off from your people." Hartdegen, Fr. Stephen J., General Editor, Nelson's Complete Concordance of the New American Bible, G.R. Welch Co., Ltd., Toronto, CanadaHastings, James, editor, Dictionary of the Bible, Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1963 There remains some question how bad such a punishment is, to be shut off from a people who would stone you for breaking some of their other rules.
==Equivocation==
The joy of being a so-called "fundamentalist literalist", is that one can use the art of word trickery (which was not a sign of humor until after Christ) to confound the believers. That is to say, the act of eating shellfish or having a rockin' night of same-sex love, which are only a "minor abomination" are now conveniently and easily equated with the truly vile acts of witchcraft.

 could also refer to The Incredible Hulk's rival monster-thing.

Absolute Beginners

Absolute Beginners are a community in the German incelosphere who also describe themselves as AB's. They define an Absolute Beginner as someone who has had few or no romantic experiences.
==Community==
The community named itself after a David Bowie song of the same name.http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/gesellschaft/leben-ohne-sex-selbsthilfe-fuer-erwachsene-jungfrauen-a-571107.html The community was founded in the 1990s.http://www.fr.de/wissen/gesundheit/medizin/leben-ohne-sex-als-erwachsener-sexuell-unerfahren-a-795129 Some AB communities have an age-cut of 20.Maja Roedenbeck: And who kisses me? Absolute Beginners – When love is waiting for you, Berlin 2012, p. 54 Absolute Beginners usually range in age from the 20s to the 40s. According to one sex consultant, there are one to two million AB's in Germany.

Absolute zero

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which all thermal vibration ceases, about 273 degrees below zero Celsius (or 459 degrees below zero Fahrenheit). The Kelvin scale was defined to reflect this, with absolute zero being 0 K (zero kelvins, not zero *degrees kelvin). In practice, the laws of thermodynamics ensure that absolute zero can never be reached, although it can be closely approached as a limit with careful laboratory procedures. Quantum mechanics tells us that there is a finite amount of energy even at absolute zero, called zero-point energy. This is why liquid helium can't be frozen at normal pressures.
Through the general expansion of space, the Universe overall has cooled to just 2.7 kelvins. The superconducting magnets in the Large Hadron Collider are colder still, with operating temperatures of just 1.9 KLHC gets colder than deep space, BBC News, 16 October 2009 and the Herschel Space Observatory has to be cooled further to 1.4 K with 2,000 litres of liquid helium despite being in the depths of space.
Scientists have been able to cool a large group of molecules to 350 nanokelvins (i.e., 0.00000035 kelvins).CU and NIST Scientists Create First Dense Gas of Ultracold 'Polar' Molecules, NIST Press Release 16 September 2008 This is often described in a pop science way of describing the distance between absolute zero and room temperature as the distance between London and New York, with the lowest achieved temperature then being a hair's width.

Absurdism

Absurdism is an atheistic stance on the meaning of life, behind the disambiguation of "atheist existentialism" and nihilism. In the broadest sense, absurdists take the stance that the search for the meaning of life is futile, either because it is unknowable to humans or that it doesn't exist. The philosophy was popularised by French novelist and philosopher Albert Camus in the 1950s.https://www.iep.utm.edu/camus/#SSH5ci
There are three ways to solve the problem of meaninglessness (assuming that it is a problem). The first is suicide, which is considered to not solve the problem by Camus and Søren Kierkegaard because the act of ending one's existence is also absurd. The second is religion or dedication to any other ideal involving a higher purpose of some sort, considered by Camus to be "philosophical suicide" due to the acceptance of bullshit. The third is acceptance of the absurd: to accept that one's existence is likely meaningless, but to continue living in the face of it — the ultimate act of rebellion if it were not itself absurd as well. This has been historically likened to the British saying "carry on". 
Absurdism is an underdeveloped philosophy and thus relativistic. The core idea is vague, and the corollary of this is that the absurd means different things to different people. One major divide is whether absurdism states with certainty that there is no meaning, or whether it is just suggested that there is no reason to think there is meaning. Another is whether one can formulate meaning whilst accepting it to be personal and absurd, and another is if belief in a god is contradictory to the philosophy.

Abu Ghraib

Abu Ghraib is a prison located roughly 20 miles to the west of Baghdad, Iraq,Google Maps that was infamous within that country during the Saddam Hussein era for the torture that took place there. Then the United States came in and made the place even more infamous throughout the globe for the torture they inflicted there, which came to light through a series of ill-advised photographs, in which some low-level guards rather unwisely posed.We will not link to them here. Many of said guards were prosecuted, and some were found guilty. However, no one has ever taken full responsibility for the grotesque violations of human rights committed at Abu Ghraib, and no senior military or government officials have ever received charges.
As of 2006, the prison no longer held prisoners, moving the problem to the new Iraqi government,America closes abuse prison, The Times who have solved the complex issues of historical legacy, and an institutionalized culture of abuse at the site by giving it a new name. In February 2009, "Baghdad Central Prison" was launched.Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, renamed, reopens, Reuters

Abuz Zubair

Abuz Zubair (also known as Abu Zubair) is a London-based Islamic fundamentalist. He is one of the owners of the website Islamic Awakeninghttp://www.spittoon.org/archives/8870 and posts on its forum under the name "Expergefactionist".http://forums.islamicawakening.com/f17/for-abuz-zubair-480/
In 2011, Zubair became involved in a dispute with Usama Hasan, a London imam who defended the theory of evolution. A creationist, Zubair argued that belief in evolution is a form of apostasy and quoted the late Saudi scholar Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen as saying, in regards to a teacher who promotes evolution in a classroom, "If there is absolutely no other way of stopping this person except execution, then this person should be executed because he is an apostate". Neatly avoiding any legal ramifications that could have arisen from these statements, Zubair also made it clear that such executions should only be carried out by imams in Muslim countries, and that "it is not up to individuals to take the law into their own hands and contemplate executing Usama Hasan".
Zubair later stated that he regretted bringing up al-Uthaymeen's comments on execution as it put his point of view in a bad light. "[W]e lost a winning battle, at least in the media", he said. "This could have gone even further to foment support for Usama Hasan's Imamship up and down the country just because of the 'execution' bit, but Allah decided to distract the news media away by causing the Tsanami [sic] in Japan."<capture>http://forums.islamicawakening.com/f18/urgent-calling-all-muslims-east-london-today-55211/index3.html#post583906</capture>
Zubair has also advocated the execution of people who make fun of Allah or Mohammed:
On 18 January 2012, Zubair delivered a talk at the Queen Mary, University of LondonYeah, the comma's an official part of the name. A little awkward, but there we go. on the subject of "traditional Islam".http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?314294-QM-ISOC-Traditional-Islam-An-Orthodox-Discussion-Concerning-Creed-Abuz-Zubairhttp://freethoughtblogs.com/maryamnamazie/2012/01/18/guess-whose-meeting-wasnt-cancelled/ The talk appears to have gone without interruption, unlike Ann Marie Waters' talk on the incompatibility of sharia with human rights, which was to have been held at the same university two days earlier but cancelled after a man ran into the room, filmed the audience, and threatened to "hunt down" anyone who insulted Mohammed.http://www.secularism.org.uk/blog/2012/01/freedom-of-expression-under-threat-by-violent-extremists Zubair denounced this act and defended Waters' views on the grounds that sharia is incompatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — which he's fine with, as he feels that Muslims don't need to follow Europeans' idea of human rights anyway.http://forums.islamicawakening.com/f18/urgent-calling-all-muslims-east-london-today-55211/#post583757

Academic Freedom Day

February 12 is designated as Academic Freedom Day by the Discovery Institute. In 2009, the Discovery Institute set aside Charles Darwin's birthday as the day to recognize the lack of attention given to creationism in public schools and academia.Discovery Institute Honors Charles Darwin with Academic Freedom Day. Discover Institute, 4 February 2009. They even issue a "censor of the year" award; the last such award was given to Wikipedia in 2018 for stating that intelligent design is "discredited as pseudoscience".Censor of the year: Wikipedia, freescience.today, 2018.
==Academic Freedom==
"Academic freedom" is a buzzword for creationism, arguing that teachers, not school boards or courts, should decide what is best to teach students in a classroom. This crude definition of "academic freedom" follows failed-and-retired memes such as "teach the controversy" and "strengths and weaknesses," but has usurped a famed scientist's birthday to push anti-science arguments.

Acceptance of evolution by religious groups

With only 16% of people in the United States polling that they believe in "secular evolution",
HuffPo: 40 Percent Of Americans Still Believe In Creationism 25 May 2011
it follows that most churches must hold the official position that evolution is wrong and that the whole world should not teach or propagate such heresy, right?

==Islam==
There being no central authority for Islam capable of producing definitive statements of doctrine on any subject, and the concept of evolution as presently understood not being the topic of any point on which there is general Islamic consensus (as such consensus, where it exists, formed in the centuries immediately following the religion's birth), there is no definitive way to determine whether Islam "accepts" or "rejects" evolution, and thus the positions of individual Muslims may vary. However, according to Wikipedia, "Evolutionary biology is included in the high-school curricula of most Muslim countries. Science foundations of 14 Muslim countries, including Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Indonesia, and Egypt, recently signed a statement by the Interacademy Panel (IAP, a global network of science academies), in support of the teaching of evolution, including human evolution."Islamic views on evolution: Muslim societies
==So who is saying evolution is wrong?==
Like most social issues, the loudest voices are not always the most populous. Cdesign proponentsists Fundamentalists, often with the support of conservative politicians at local and national levels, are louder and more emphatic than their organized brethren in the above groups. Fundamentalists appeal to people who may belong to formal organizations but do not know of or trust the formal statements regarding evolution. They play on the position of fear and the innate sense humans carry that we are somehow "different" and "special" from all other animals.

Access Consciousness

Access Consciousness is an alternative medicine organization founded in 1995 by Gary M. Douglas. It purports many non-specific benefits such as wakefulness and weight loss through their special head massages, electromagnetic activation of chakra-like "bar points." They offer many books, video and physical classes, memberships, and accessories.
==History==
Before he founded Access Consciousness, Douglas was in the real estate business. Collection agencies sued him in 1990, including the IRS and the Department of Justice, ending in his bankruptcy in 1993.What's Behind Gary Douglas's Scientology Knockoff?
After this collapse, he turned to his connections with Scientology from his first wife, a Scientology recruiter, and his second wife, a former Scientologist, having left due to the restructuring after L. Ron Hubbard stepped down. He then exploited this rift and the growing popularity of channeling in Santa Barbara and stated about someone performing a channeling session, "How come he can do that and I can't?" Conveniently, he discovered his channeling powers after the loss of his previous job and stated that he channeled both Rasputin and Extraterrestrialaliens. He used the information he said he gained through that to create Access Consciousness, which offered advancement and the ability to solve your ills if you can pay.
==Access bars==
One of their services involves targeting some of the 16 bars in your head that allegedly correspond to different parts of your life. Overall, it's a recycling of previous acupressure and chakra concepts but focusing only on the head.
Under their page on access bars, they have an entire section labeled "how does it work?" Unsurprisingly, this category has absolutely no description of any scientific principles behind the procedure. Instead, they compare the bars to buttons that can mute your limitations. They imply you must be receptive for this to work, which allows for a convenient escape hatch if it doesn't work.What is access bars
==Store==
Much like Scientology, which it was partially inspired by, Access Consciousness has a large digital shop selling books, classes, memberships, and even certifications for opening branches.access consciousness store These products are expensive, with their cheapest membership being 10 dollars a month for raw mp3 files of "clearings" originally performed over the radio with no access to previous filespearls of possibility membership. Archived from the original. and their more expensive "creative edge" membership costing over ten times that amount at 130 dollars a month for the ability to see a telecast, "unpredictable surprises from anywhere at any time," and "A one-hour call every month with some combination of Gary Douglas, Dr. Dain Heer, Simone Milasas and Brendon Watt." depending on who cares to do it that day.access consciousness membership club.
