Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758 CE) was the minister of a Congregational church in Northampton, Massachusetts during the First Great Awakening; he was later ousted from this position for grilling a parishioner too hard about his beliefs.
He is best known as the author of the classic "fire and brimstone" sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. However, his most important contribution to the Awakening was his book, A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God (London, 1737), which provided guidance to other clergy as to how to conduct a revival. He graduated first in his class from Yale University, and was serving as the president of Princeton University when he received a smallpox inoculation, having been assured it would be safe. Never in robust health, he died of the inoculation on March 22, 1758. 
His terrifying inspiring preaching helped start the Great Awakening, which became a huge religious revival that helped unite the colonies prior to the American Revolution. Like most eighteenth century Congregationalists (who were derived from the seventeenth century "Puritan" church) Edwards was a Calvinist; however, traditional Calvinists maintain that only the Elect, who had been chosen before the creation of the world, could achieve salvationhttp://www.wfu.edu/~matthetl/perspectives/four.html ("unconditional election"). By the time of the Great Awakening, most Calvinist clergy had altered their views to embrace the idea that one could alter their eternal fate (which was the point of many of Edwards's sermonsGod's Sovereignty in the Salvation of ManSinners in the Hand of Angry God).

Jonathan Haidt

Jonathan Haidt is a moderate professor of psychology at New York University's Stern School of Business. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom and The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. 
The Happiness Hypothesis develops a metaphor of the subconscious and the conscious as an elephant and a rider, with the rider's job being to guide the elephant.The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom; (Basic Books, 2006; ISBN 978-0-465-02802-3.) His other contribution concerns six categories of morality as a number of mental modules that establish scales of good versus evil, which he calls 'moral foundations theory'. They are:
# Care vs. harm: cherishing and protecting others.
# Fairness vs. cheating: rendering justice according to shared rules. (Alternate name: Proportionality.)
# Liberty vs. oppression: the loathing of tyranny.
# Loyalty vs. betrayal: standing with your group, family, nation. (Alternate name: Ingroup.)
# Authority vs. subversion: obeying tradition and legitimate authority. (Alternate name: Respect.)
# Sanctity vs. degradation: abhorrence for disgusting things, foods, actions. (Alternate name: Purity.)See generally Haidt's The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided By Politics and Religion; (Pantheon, 2012; ISBN 978-0-307-37790-6.)
According to Haidt, logic has little to do with the negative reactions people have to "evil" actions, and it usually only comes into play after they've already reacted. Someone who's emotionally against cheating, for instance, may use logic to create arguments for why cheating is wrong, but if they're shown that none of their arguments apply or make sense, they still usually won't be convinced to change their minds.
From a variety of polls and studies, Haidt concludes that liberals mostly value care vs. harm, fairness vs. cheating, and liberty vs. oppression, while conservatives value all six scales. He argues in "The Righteous Mind" that liberal morality is incomplete based largely off of this, too often abusing the naturalistic fallacy.
He is the recipient of a Templeton prize. He is also involved in various discourse, and is a critic of New Atheism.http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/05/17/the-unbearable-squishiness-of-jonathan-haidt/

Jonathan Wells

Jonathan Wells Larry Moran, Johnatan Wells (1942 - 2024) was a member of the Discovery Institute, a follower of Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, and a prominent advocate of intelligent design. He was the author of Icons of Evolution and Regnery Publishing's Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design.Jonathan Wells, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design. Regnery Publishing, 21 August 2006. To see a chapter by chapter review and critique, see the work of Cartwright here.
Along with Michael Behe, he was one of the few in the movement with demonstrably legitimate credentials (he had a Ph.D. in biological science). Wells completed the Ph.D. for the sole purpose of "debunking" evolution."[Reverend Moon, creepily referred to here as "Father]'s" words, my studies, and my prayers convinced me that I should devote my life to destroying Darwinism, just as many of my fellow Unificationists had already devoted their lives to destroying Marxism." Darwinism: Why I Went for a Second Ph.D., Jonathan Wells Despite his credentials, he had been caught bullshitting or outright lying on many occasions and his books are generally considered garbage by mainstream science.Nick Matzke, Icon of Obfuscation: Jonathan Wells's book Icons of Evolution and why most of what it teaches about evolution is wrong. talk.origins, 23 January 2024.
Wells had also lent his support to the cause of AIDS denialism.
He also claimed to expose the "lie about overwhelming amounts of evidence for evolution".

Jose Luis de Jesús

José Luis de Jesús Miranda was the Latin-American leader of Growing Grace International Ministry Inc. and claimed literally to be both the returned Jesus Christ and the Antichrist apparently.
==What, really?==
De Jesus's ministry has achieved some popularity, preaching to thirty-five nations, and he has claimed to have millions of followers worldwide.
In 2007, De Jesus claimed he was the Antichrist. Not in the traditional form that you're probably thinking. He stated that Jesus's Jewish teachings are no longer relevant and that this term means "no longer following the teachings of Jesus as he lived in the flesh". Individuals are instead following the teachings of the Apostle Paul through De Jesus. 
De Jesus also believed that Satan died long ago, there is no sin, and therefore no punishment in Hell for the non-believers. As a result, he encouraged his followers to tattoo '666' on themselves, signifying their allegiance towards the almighty De JesusDave J. Stewart has to have his say... Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda EXPOSED! by David J. Stewart, Jesus is Savior. De Jesus's followers can engage in as much Biblical sinful behaviour as they desire, as they are his predestined elite, above sin. 
De Jesus was born on April 22, 1946, and encouraged his sheeple to celebrate April 22 as Christmas, instead of the traditional December 25. In fairness, that date probably is closer to the actual birth date of Jesus, given clues left in the Bible (shepherds watching over their sheep in the outdoors, for instance).
Jose Luis de Jesus passed away on August 8, 2013. For a reborn Jesus, he's showing a remarkable reluctance to resurrect.
==The insanity goes even further==
He was also somewhat of a conspiracy theorist, arguing that the Apostles Peter, John, and James conspired to kill the Apostle Paul so they could establish the "false Jesus" religion, which would restrict the adherents' liberty and keep them in bondage to the rather harsh Old Testament laws. So, basically, something like the fundamentalist Christianity of today, with all its focus on gay bashing and other restrictive nonsense. Thankfully, the real Christ was out there to liberate us and lead us to the truth! Praise Jose Luis De Jesus!

Josef Issels

Josef Issels killed Bob Marley.
Okay, not really. Cancer killed Bob Marley. But Issels wasn't very helpful. Issels is responsible for developing "Issels Combination Therapy", which is an alternative to standard cancer treatment procedures. The Issels plan is based largely on diet, laetrile, chelation, and the removal of fillings from the patient's teeth. The regimen has been panned by Quackwatch"A Special Message for Cancer Patients Seeking 'Alternative' Treatment" on Quackwatch and Cancer Research UK.Cancer Research UK: Issels Treatment
When Marley was diagnosed with melanoma, he eschewed medical treatment and instead consulted Issels. He died less than a year later.
British Olympic gold medal winner Lillian Board was another one of Issels' stunning successes. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1970 with a life expectancy of about two months left (as cancer had already spread by this time). She spent the last month-and-a-half of her life having her tonsils and front teeth removed (as they supposedly helped spread the infection) and drinking only spring water and herbal tea. While her death wasn't preventable as Bob Marley's was, one could say that Board's quack with painful and unnecessary "treatments" slightly wasted his last month-and-a-half.

Joseph of Arimathea

Joseph of Arimathea was supposedly a wealthy follower of Jesus at the time of the crucifixion, a member of the Jewish council, the Sanhedrin. He allegedly buried Jesus in a tomb which he had prepared for himself. He is a saint in several Christian denominations, notably Catholicism and Lutheranism.
You can read the Biblical account in , , , and .
==Holy Grail==
According to a medieval legend, he eventually brought the Holy Grail to England and buried it near Glastonbury close to the site where Glastonbury Abbey would later be built. Joseph is of course referenced in Monty Python's movie on the grail.
==Glastonbury Thorn==
Joseph also, in common legend, stuck his hawthorn staff into the ground at Glastonbury where it promptly rooted and bloomed every subsequent Christmas.Apparently he was Jesus's relative as well
==Did he exist?==
In contrast to many other places mentioned in the Bible, there is no evidence that the town called Arimathea existed (despite attempts to equate it to Ramallah, Ramah, etc). The name Arimathea means "best disciple town", so it's a bit suspicious as an invention.Was Joseph of Arimathea a myth?, Christian Worldview Press. The Bible never mentions Joseph himself after the burial account, and he does not appear in extra-Biblical sources. It's also unclear whether Joseph would have had the time to bury Jesus as described, with the necessity to negotiate with the Romans, buy cloth, get the body, and place it in the tomb by nightfall. And a prominent Jew would not have been able to handle a corpse before Passover without becoming unclean.Rebuttal to Tomb Burial by Joseph of Arimathea, Peter Kirby, infidels.orgArimathea, JesusNeverExisted.com"Joseph of Arimathea was Probably a Literary Fiction", Debunking Christianity, 2007. There is also the contradiction that the Sanhedrin is supposed to have unanimously condemned Jesus to death (according to Mark), and yet supposedly Joseph was on the council.The Resurrection: A Critical Inquiry, Michael J Alter, Google Books.
Since the Bible elsewhere suggests Jesus was abandoned by all his disciples, Mark and the other evangelists need some way to have him buried, and may have invented this convenient fiction. Alternatively, since the Gospel of Mark allegedly shows limited knowledge of Biblical geography or of Jewish customs,
The Gospel of Mark, Vexen Crabtree, HolyBooks.info
its author may have presented a garbled version of actual events.

Joshiryoku

Joshiryoku (女子力, "woman power") is a word that appeared in Japan circa 2000. It became popular in the Japanese language in 2009, and is still in vogue.「女子力、高いね」。こんな言葉を耳にしたことはありませんか？ちまたで言われる「女子力」、あなた自身が考える「女子力」とは、どんな力なのでしょう。ご意見をお寄せください。 - Asahi Shimbun.
Contrary to what the above direct translation may imply for English speakers, joshiryoku is not a "feminist" expression, but rather is used to describe a person's femininity or "womanliness." Those with high joshiryoku would typically be considered proficient in maintaining a polished, feminine appearance in areas like makeup, nails, hair, skincare, and clothing. The concept also extends to personality, with traits like likeability, sensitivity, fashionableness, and politeness considered signs of high joshiryoku, along with proficiency in other traditionally feminine skills like cooking.【100人聞いた】女子力が高い女性とは？ 特徴や素敵なレディになるために意識すべきコツ - Oggi, June 2022.
==Cases==
===When joshiryoku is judged to be high===
* Women who wear feminine clothes
* Women who are good at cooking
* Women who use polite language
* Women who do not make their point too strongly
===When joshiryoku is judged to be low===
* Women who have too much sex appeal
* Women who use coarse language
* Women who do not wear makeup (mask-wearing women are generally exempt)
* Women of high spirits

Jot

Jot was a 1960s and 1970s low-budget cartoon produced by the Southern Baptist Convention featuring really bad art apparently inspired by the trippy psychedelic stuff that was in vogue at the time, starring "Jot", the bouncing dot. Bouncing dots appear all the time in the Bible, don't they? It was shown on Saturday morning TV to teach kids Bible stories and why they should obey their parents and never lie, cheat or cuss. You could write to Jot for finger puppets and prizes that would let you make your own "fun".
Seriously, the cartoon looks like it was designed in about 1966 by a psychologist totally steeped in existentialism and utterly convinced that the use of disturbing echoing-around-in-your-head kind of imagery could provide effective moral guidance. In other words, the closest thing the Southern Baptists will ever come to being countercultural, which isn't saying much.
Hello kids, let's all learn a new word. A-BOM-I-NA-TION. Can you say Abomination? Sure, I knew you could. Abomination means...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTN0VW86jyA
Jot still appears on the FamilyNet Television channel as a mascot.

Journal of 9/11 Studies

The Journal of 9/11 Studies is a peer- crank-reviewed, online, open source pseudojournal that gives 9/11 Truthers a place to just ask questions. Some high-profile Truthers like David Ray Griffin have written articles for the journal. Ironically, in their attempt to appear "credible" and "serious," they've run a number of articles debunking the egregiously unhinged theories like Judy Wood's "space beams"Scientific Critique of Judy Wood's Star Wars Beam Weapons by James Gourley and stuff they've run in their own journal, like the "elephant plane" theory.Flying Elephant or Routine Takeoff? by Jim Hoffman The journal also spawned a counter-publication debunking it called the Journal of Debunking 9/11 Conspiracy Theories.http://www.jod911.com/
In 2011, they ran out of "peer-reviewers" and sent out a request for someone to review two papers defending the "official" account of a plane hitting the Pentagon. The Screw Loose Change blog remarked:
But now 9/11 conspiracy theories must be taken seriously, because, look, this research is "peer-reviewed!"

Journal of Scientific Exploration

The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE) is a "peer-reviewed" pseudojournal put out by the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE). Like many pseudoscience promoting organizations, their name is misleading. According to the website:
JSE has much less to do with science than it does with whatever pet crank theories its editors are out to promote. It's chock-full of all kinds of woo, including (but not limited to) alternative medicine, astrology, remote viewing, AIDS denial, quantum woo, UFOs, and much, much more! The Society also puts out a magazine called EdgeScience, possibly trying to ape this organization dedicated to actual science.
The spiritualist crank Stephen E. Braude operates as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.

Juan Móricz

Juan Móricz (Hungarian: Móricz János; 1923-1991) was a Hungarian-Argentine explorer.
==Magyar madness==
Móricz wrote a pamphlet entitled El Origen Americano de Pueblos Europeos ("The American origin of European peoples"), which consists of a series of pseudohistorical claims regarding Eurasia, the Americas, and pre-Columbian contact. These include: that the Sumerians, Hungarians, and Iberians originally came from the Americas; that the sparsely attested was Hungarian; that the Basques belong to the same "racial and linguistic branch as the Huns"; and that various indigenous peoples of the Americans are Huns.El Origen Americano de Pueblos Europeos by Juan Móricz (1968) Asociación de Estudios Históricos.
In the pamphlet, Móricz also claims that the of the indigenous Tsáchila of Santo Domingo de los Colorados and the of the Cayapas (or ) are actually "old Hungarian." Now, if true, this would be not just earth-shattering, but also very easy to prove. All Móricz would have to do would be to provide texts that are substantially the same in the languages in question. For instance, one might juxtapose Hungarian and Tsafiki versions of a Tsáchila folk tale, or perhaps Hungarian and Cha'palaa versions of the . Such evidence, if it were genuine, would be enough to silence any potential critics and cow them into submission. Instead, what does Móricz do? He immediately moves on to ramble about his other crank ideas while having failed to provide any multilingual texts or even lists of supposed cognates to support his wild assertions about these languages.
