The purpose of religion was never to make you a better person. Again, this is the common misconception amongst the New Atheists. you may not be one, I'm just pointing out a fact, however.
Holy cow, I assumed an a-religious comment on a Bill Maher clip was made by an atheist. What a leap in logic! And apparently a betrayal of my Christianity to boot.
You said the SSA is proof you don't need to be religious to be good-natured. I applaud you in agreement with a "but," not all religions claim that you need to be religious to be good-natured in the first place. Now tell me: where did I misinterpret or misrepresent your comment?
Does every religion say you can't be good-natured without religion?
This seems to be a common misconception among the New Atheists. And I say the "New Atheists" because the more intellectual (pardon me) atheists like Antony Flew knew better. But religions like Christianity do not say you cannot be a good person apart from it. The only people I see claiming this are atheists who proceed to make the claim into a full-blown straw man argument.
I dont personally believe in god, but at the same time I really think this guy is a total piece of shit. The SSA at my school does community service, even alongside churches, making an example of humanism rather than lowering ourselves to absolute cynicism.
did you write or study a history of religions ? did you even read the one Already written by Eliade ? Do you have any specialized knowledge in this are, Bill ? ....I doubt it. Therefore, please shut up, I don't want to know your guesses, I have my own.
Tell me what you know, not what you think. And you know very little about religion, one of them or more. Uneducated guesses and jokes...nothing more.

@zzzaaa503 You believe in fairy-tales. No evidence for any of it. Let go of that BS and you might get somewhere. Then you'll be in charge of your morals because you want to, not because you are mandated to.
It's sad that we have to come to youtube for logic and reason. The power of rational thought is, sadly, lost to those who wrap themselves in faith. Faith doesn't make you better than me. It just makes you naive and childish. Grow up and grow a brain.
@MrAdamakakis I suppose you have explored and recieved all knowledge available in the universe to come to the conclusion that faith is absurd. Do you actually believe that you have been endowed with the some superhuman mind which has percieved all of the realities in this vast universe, and made you all knowing. If so then maybe you are God, or more likely, just want to be your own god in order to be free of the need to admit you dont know it all.
@logicnreason1 Religious people have been successful in making everyone believe faith is automatically a good thing. What makes it good? They never say. They just act like it's good by default.
Well, people are starting to wake up. Religion had a good run, but its time is coming to an end.
@logicnreason1 No, Mr logicnreason, I don't think I'm god, nor do I believe I know everything. I just think that blind faith, a faith in any god, or wrapping myself in the warmth of fairy tales, is not the way to live my life. I do good because I want to, not through fear of hell and eternal damnation. The universe is vast and I don't think we can know all that it holds. But faith doesn't make you understand it any more than someone without faith.
@BigTimeStein1 I think he's an agnostic atheist. He's said many times that there's no god and then has said that he believes in a god but he gives the idea of a god, more respect than the religious.

@almostagod When people from the United States of America call ourselves "Americans" we're speaking of our country, not the continent. The word "America" is in the name of our country. It's like calling someone named John Smith, "Smith." Sure, he's not the only Smith on the planet, but "Smith" is part of his name. If you take offense it's because you're looking for it, not because it's intended.

If the only inspiration you get to be religious is from a book written by the most homophobic and hateful societies on earth, then you are a, truly, sad person.
You do change your thought process quite a bit every decade, almost like clockwork. I'm not surprised that after this point of his thought process, it further progressed, and became what it is now.
You know what I love most about religion. How people worship this guy right (who just happens to be white, what a surprise) and yet if you say his name, he'll send you to hell. What the fuck?
@7strawman7 If he was the president, bibles would be replaced with the Origin of Species. Christian Schools would be replaced by hosptials and churches replaced by homeless shelters. All of that worthless land would actually be used for a good reason. Discrimination would also be replaced by hookers and weed. Bill Maher for the win!
@7strawman7 Subconsciously, you are onto something. Morals do not come from religion. Objective truth comes from reality, not religion. Religious people are nothing BUT self-righteous. Religion has its roots in fear. Most religious people pick and choose what they want to believe and ignore the rest. Thinking the universe was made just for us is both selfish and self centered. Reading bibles is a waste of time. Yep, I think you hit all the major points. Thanks.
@7strawman7 “No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what HE means.” - George Bernard Shaw
Naturally YOU are right, and the RCC, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, atheists, Wiccans, Zoroastrians, Jains, etc, etc are wrong. Now I understand, oh wise one. How could I have missed it! It must be nice having insight into divine knowledge which is denied to 99% of the rest of the world. Seek professional help... but first take off your tinfoil hat!
@7strawman7 I love the way you ignored the fact that I refuted your claim that the bible was 100% prophetically accurate by citing specific ones which never cames to pass, and skipped to so-called "modern system" prophecies which are not even a specific as those of Nostradamus. Show me the words "industrial revolution" in the bible and I'll be impressed. How can you invoke "the One World Totalitarian Dictatorship" as proof of prophecy, when it hasn't happened? Write back once it has.
@7strawman7 Nope, no bells. I would agree with you is the bible was 100% prophetically accurate as you claim, but it is not even close. Most are "fulfilled" only on other pages of the bible, with no extrabiblical corroboration. Others were not fulfilled even there: Genesis 4:12, Jeremiah 36:30, Ezekiel 26:14-21, Isaiah 7:14 to name just a few. Plus, how do you know what the original autographs contain, since they do not exist? And if you are a man, doesn't that make you a lover of the lie too?
@7strawman7 How do you know God is truth, and does not lie? Reply: "Because God said so." I see.... but what if God was LYING when he said that? Or what if he said "Everything I say is a lie," and then a moment later said "I'm lying"? Does lying about lying make it the truth? And how many people did God murder iout of vengeance in the OT? Do you believe everything your read in an ancient book written by sheep herders and assembled by popular vote? That's where you get your TRUTH?
@ All you atheists out there: Maher believes in God, and respects Jesus. He rejects religion, on the other hand. If your going to support him, do that. Don't diss God, whom he believes in.
@ChristianWarriorUSA This video was 11 years ago. he's changed stated himself apatheist, though honestly, after creating such things as Religulous, there is little doubt in my mind that he does care about religion, and he is atheist.
How about the increased atmospheric heat and pressure caused by flooding the Earth over all but the tallest mountain tops would kill Noah and all life aboard the Ark. Cleaning up the poo produced by thousands upon thousands of animals, feeding them, etc... One more reason not to be a Christian. But its only an allegory... where God can't get his facts straight and depicts himself as pro-slavery, mass murder, rape, incest and more!
@7strawman7 Okay man, its obvious we're going nowhere with this. You can keep believing that if you want, but i'm going to keep thinking for myself and still try living to be the best person possible. If i get punished for that after life, then I guess that's just the way its gonna be. I have enough faith in myself not to let religion scare me, so I really don''t care.
I believe that if Richard Dawkins was from the United States, he would be a great president. I would like to see Bill Maher and Dawkins campaign against each other. Talk about entertaining.
@7strawman7 Well no shit we're all born with "evil" characteristics, but it IS infact possible for people to choose to be the better side of their personality. There are plenty of religious and non religious people who are great people, and there are plenty of religious and non religious people who aren't. And there is no "real" insight to the difference between good and bad buddy, no matter what. Everyone has their own mind so everyone interprets things their own way. Not rocket science.
@7strawman7 Dude do you not see a word that im saying? You're making it sound like EVERYONE who isn't religious is evil. And you say all humans are evil at heart, so what good is a mask gonna do anyway, according to your logic?Damn man, i'm just done with this. Your arguments are so ignorant and unreasonable that it amazes me. Do you not get it? I'M NOT RELIGIOUS AT ALL AND I'M NOT AN EVIL PERSON IN ANY WAY, as with a ton of my friends and family members. Get over it.
It's great to see pre-atheist Bill. Still just as rational and intelligent. He finally took the step and decided that 'God', even in the Deist sense, is no more than a delusion of grandeur.
@7strawman7 I'm not an atheist though, that's the thing. If you think humans are core wicked when the fear of God is removed, then you go right ahead and think that. According to some guy on youtube, i'm now a wicked person. Lmfao.
@7strawman7 No consequence? You think that LAWS wouldn't exist without religion? I honestly don't see how we would ALL become psychopathic murderers if there was no religion. Guess that's just me.
@7strawman7 I agree with you on everything leading up to ultimate consequence. No one can legitimately prove that. The part of the brain that deciphers cause and effect is simply doing it for the well being of life. Not for judgment.
@7strawman7 "Yes, the reason people willfully do such massive evil in the world is bc they dont fear the judgment of God, that there's ultimate consequence for doing such evils." You're acting like you're absolutely certain that God's judgment even exists. In my book that's pretty ignorant. And dude I already said, I don't believe in God's judgment and I still have moral values and I still do good just as much as any other person that just goes around calling themself a Christian.
@7strawman7 Look man, what I'm saying is that you took it way out of context. You ended your comment with the conclusion that Maher wants us to hail Satan. I don't get how you can't see how stupid and childish that is in the slightest way. And you say the reason for all evil is because man has no fear of god? Well I live a perfectly fine life and I have many moral values yet I'm not religious at all. I'm a free thinker. In my opinion if someone needs god to be a good person, they're just weak.
@7strawman7 Wouldn't it be easier and straight to the point to write "Take no other material, ideological, self made gods before me" as you know "Take no other gods before me" could also mean that there should be no other deity except god. If I was a Christian I would trust the Bible and not mans interpretation of it.
@7strawman7 So why does the 10 commandments not disprove rape, slavery, underage sex, homosexuality, bestiality, necrophilia? Or are these things less of a sin if there not in the 10 commandments? Or are these not that important? Is rape and slavery less important than stealing?
@7strawman7 So why does god need the 10 commandments for his followers? If everybody who has fear of god is without evil then why need the 10 commandments? Shouldn't every follower of God be without evil as the opposite applies, being every non follower is evil. No Christian has ever lied, stolen, looked at a woman with lust? If he has your argument is invalid. If any Christian has ever done those and he has fear of God then I ask you why does he have evil within him?
@7strawman7 You are so fucking stupid and ignorant if that's what you walked away with after watching this video. Where did he ever say that Christians should be burned or that you should worship yourself or any other nonsense that you said? What Bill is promoting is the idea of fucking THINKING. Our country doesn't need to brainwash society with so-called "religion" to get by. Are you aware of how much death and suffering religion has caused in our world?
@Jumpybeaver If god, rather than the U.S government, was the one who gave freedom of speech, then everyone in the world would have it. In reality we get that freedom from a Constitution which makes no mention of any god. Figure it out for yourself.
@ all the religious lunatics posting here... I gotta say... I hope GOD himself reads this comment and understand that he GOD can suck my dick cos I don't obey him and if by accident I end up in heaven I WILL SPIT in GOD's face and ASK TO BE SENT TO HELL.
@rends thanks for giving religious assholes fuel to back up the "you just dont want to stop sinning" canard...fucking stooge. Your comment is not logic, its emotion, and you clearly dont quite control your emotions yet.
@rends U are the coolest person ive ever read. u hate God so much i think im gunna give u a thumbs up. Yea right, u have to be the dumbest person that has ever existed on the face of the earth. Your so cool that u dont obey him and that u hope u could spit in Gods face haha ur so cool bro. God will have the last laugh rather u like it or not. Have fun in Hell and tell hitler and other buttfucking fags i said high. PSALMS 14:1 The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God- u truly are a fool
God created him.... God made him this way, I feel nothing for bill maher's soul cause he's going to be ok... There are no human enemies of god.. That would be ridiculous god could crush them with his almighty fists of glory... Maher says he doesnt know what's going to happen and neither does anyone else... This mind set would in fact make god love him more wouldn't you say? Nobody likes being judged or falsely defined especially god so stop pretending you know how he/she is because in fact god
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Actually God is a scientist. When they wrote the Bible they didn't know many things so they made stuff up about things they could not understand. And it worked.
@kubek no im saying that god couldn't be a scientist because he already so called knows everything, what is the point of science? to discover stuff right? im an atheist bro im just saying.
people are hypocrites when it comes with religion, and that is what makes them insufferable, it would also help a bit if they knew what circular logic is as it is their goto debate play.
Two 17-18 year old Mormons came to my door yesterday. It was great fun. Of course, they had never even heard of Dawkins, Harris, Hitchen, or Dennett. This one kid keep telling me he had evidence of God, pointing to his book of Momon. I told him I had a degree in Philosophy, had taught high school social studies, and had been an atheist for over 50 years; and did he really think he could change my mind. I asked him if he believed in Thor, Baal, etc. and that when he understood why he didn't ....
his Pat puckanan comment really explains the f*&ked up leadership, GLOBALY! Yes GLOBAL! Do I need to remind one of GWB saying he speaks to god? Or point out the fact that Vatican city; A; is a country/state, B; is the richest country in the world and it is smaller than Manhatten?!?!? If one is willing to bow down as a bike rack for someone, ( as KrimeMater said, "ME! haha) bow down for all of us as gods that are owning the wonders we create and discover. FYI<Term limits on idiots.right k?
@metrocop1000 They have the right to say whatever they want. However, the problem that most people seem to have is that the right is not unilaterally applied. Just as one cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theater, it's just as illegal to shout racist slurs in a public place.
The internet, however, is made up of a bunch of privately-owned servers, in turn running privately-owned web sites/etc. This is why forums can lay down whatever laws they wish.
@metrocop1000 Don't get me wrong. I'm a firm proponent of free speech. But there is, indeed, a time and place for everything. The internet works the way it is. Libel is still illegal, but the point is that there really is no "freedom of speech" on the internet. Youtube is still owned by a private corporation, and they can censor it (or ban users) however they like, with no real legal repercussions.
And frankly, that's the way it should be. Government involvement would not improve things.
@Darius135gease Yes, but you have to understand he is not the sole solution. You have to look at guys like him, and toher, and ake in the information which makes sense. To you, in a logical and detached way.
There are things I agree with him, and some I do not. So, to all of these guys you must take the best of the ideals they speak of, and fill this ball of knowledge.
He is very much against all theories of 9/11 and many many other things, tho evidence shows us tha conspiracies are true. =)

@almostagod When people from the United States of America call ourselves "Americans" we're speaking of our country, not the continent. The word "America" is in the name of our country. It's like calling someone named John Smith, "Smith." Sure, he's not the only Smith on the planet, but "Smith" is part of his name. If you take offense it's because you're looking for it, not because it's intended.

@7strawman7 Subconsciously, you are onto something. Morals do not come from religion. Objective truth comes from reality, not religion. Religious people are nothing BUT self-righteous. Religion has its roots in fear. Most religious people pick and choose what they want to believe and ignore the rest. Thinking the universe was made just for us is both selfish and self centered. Reading bibles is a waste of time. Yep, I think you hit all the major points. Thanks.

@7strawman7 I love the way you ignored the fact that I refuted your claim that the bible was 100% prophetically accurate by citing specific ones which never cames to pass, and skipped to so-called "modern system" prophecies which are not even a specific as those of Nostradamus. Show me the words "industrial revolution" in the bible and I'll be impressed. How can you invoke "the One World Totalitarian Dictatorship" as proof of prophecy, when it hasn't happened? Write back once it has.
TheOracle1956 8 months ago
@7strawman7 Nope, no bells. I would agree with you is the bible was 100% prophetically accurate as you claim, but it is not even close. Most are "fulfilled" only on other pages of the bible, with no extrabiblical corroboration. Others were not fulfilled even there: Genesis 4:12, Jeremiah 36:30, Ezekiel 26:14-21, Isaiah 7:14 to name just a few. Plus, how do you know what the original autographs contain, since they do not exist? And if you are a man, doesn't that make you a lover of the lie too?

@7strawman7 "Yes, the reason people willfully do such massive evil in the world is bc they dont fear the judgment of God, that there's ultimate consequence for doing such evils." You're acting like you're absolutely certain that God's judgment even exists. In my book that's pretty ignorant. And dude I already said, I don't believe in God's judgment and I still have moral values and I still do good just as much as any other person that just goes around calling themself a Christian.

Well I live a perfectly fine life and I have many moral values yet I'm not religious at all. I'm a free thinker. In my opinion if someone needs god to be a good person, they're just weak.

@7strawman7 Wouldn't it be easier and straight to the point to write "Take no other material, ideological, self made gods before me" as you know "Take no other gods before me" could also mean that there should be no other deity except god.

@7strawman7 So why does the 10 commandments not disprove rape, slavery, underage sex, homosexuality, bestiality, necrophilia? Or are these things less of a sin if there not in the 10 commandments? Or are these not that important? Is rape and slavery less important than stealing?
scrap222666 9 months ago
@7strawman7 So why does god need the 10 commandments for his followers? If everybody who has fear of god is without evil then why need the 10 commandments? Shouldn't every follower of God be without evil as the opposite applies, being every non follower is evil. No Christian has ever lied, stolen, looked at a woman with lust? If he has your argument is invalid. If any Christian has ever done those and he has fear of God then I ask you why does he have evil within him?
