  • Speaking of intolerant morons

  • What's the point of having a guest on to try to reason with this cunt in a 3 1/2 minute time frame ?

  • Comment removed

  • Ok, I'm not on anyones side here but that's what the interviewer should be doing... shouldn't he?

  • Regardless of the outcome of the discussion and your beliefs on god, well done to Mr Dawkins for staying so polite and calm in the face of an ignorant and rude interviewer such as this man

  • hitler was a christian. nazis wore belts with inscriptions saying something along the lines of 'gods will' (in german of course). He signed treaties with the pope to allow practising in germany and mein kampf was one of the few books at the time to not be banned by the vatican so the church seemed to have strong connections with hitler...

  • How many people watch this show?

  • O'Reilly is such an unerring cunt. He can't even pronounce ‘atheism’ and ‘agnosticism’. A true fucking bell end.

  • @DigitalLoveDaftPunk you sound like you like to suck cock Dig..ate you a faggot???you douche hag

  • What the fuck was that? I don't even understand the relevance of his points.....

  • O'Reilly to Dawkins > Bane... "B...A...N...E..."

    Dawkins to O'Reilly > No need to respond to such incredible ignorance.

  • B O'Reilly is right that religion is still needed to control the least intelligent. Religious susceptibilty evolved as a means of social bonding and control. Modern humans conquered all other humans because they had followers who would fight to the death. The way it evolved was by keeping a small part of the brain in a childish state. People who believe in religion really are thinking like children. This is why they call their gods "father" for example, and why their reasoning is so confused.

  • proud (and pleased) to have evolved

  • proud to be a sweed

  • How the hell do they let o'reilly on tv???

  • @IlluminatedRain We see what Sweden's stupid naive socialism has done to it. Your once perfect liberal society is now being transformed into an islamic shit hole, full of welfare muslims and rapist muslims. Good job morons. The US is not much better as parts of the US now resemble 3rd world mexico. This is what happens when liberalism becomes retarded and your liberal politicians create immigration policy which ruins you

  • Bill O'Reilly is so smug about being ignorant

  • His facial expression at 0:53 is where Dawkins realized that this debate will change nothing simply because of Bill's ignorance.

  • At 2:15 was I the only one who wanted to hit O'Reilly with a shovel??? "Oh yeah, being humble is a christian virtue. We invented morality hurr durr"

  • Bill O'reilly is the biggest disgrace to this nation.

  • I find it interesting that they label Richard Dawkins as 'Atheist' instead of 'Author,' 'Scientist,' or something that actually encompasses what he is.

  • At what school do they teach debating by yelling?

  • "being humble is a christian virtue" made me want to cry...

  • Comment removed

  • Why oh why does anyone even bother to go on O'Reilly's show?

  • Comment removed

  • O'Reilly screwed up on Hitler, but he was right about the rest of them. Hitler was a christian by name, but not by life style. Also, both theism and atheism CAN lead to destruction in the hans of the wrong person, I dont care who you are.

  • Hitler was a roman catholic. Why? Because fallacious D says he was. And he's a scientist, he knows.

    And Stalin just happened to be mass murderers AND an atheist. An absolute and complete coincidence there. Why? Because fallacious D says he was. And he's a scientist, he knows.

  • Dawkins is a faggot. THE TIDES HAD TO GET THERE SOMEHOW. Jesus ISNT DEAD. HE HAS NO GRAVE. Just because you hate O'Reilly doesnt mean he's wrong. You are bunch a gay-loving liberals who have crap for brains. Go licke Dawkins's cock why dont you. The Bible has a bunch of lies and mistakes right? Show me them. Can you do that? Have you ever read it in the first place? Freaking morons.

  • @retroman1019 ok to me just how did God create the earth and heavens? Wut exactly did he do?

  • @retroman1019

    trolling much?

    Otherwise: (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT) "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."

    That's your god. Lucky for me, I don't have one.

  • @retroman1019

    Well it sure does sound like you've taken Jesus' message to heart. I'm going to surmise that the only Bible passages you're familiar with are the ones that appear on WWE t-shirts. I don't know about lies or mistakes, but I know that there are TONS of contradictions in the Bible. Let's review a few from just the Old Testament.

    When was man created, according to Genesis? Before or after animals? Gen 1 and Gen 2-3 will offer conflicting accounts.

  • How many animals on Noah's ark? Gen 6:20 and Gen 7:2.

    Who killed Goliath? Before you shout "David!", look at 1 Samuel 17:50 and 2 Samuel 21:19.

    What did God call himself when revealing himself to Abraham? Gen 15:7, Gen 28:13 say one thing, but Exodus 6:3 says something else.

  • And lastly, what happens to men who see God? They die, right? Exodus 33:20 explicitly says so, but in Isaiah 6:1, Isaiah is just fine after laying eyes on God.

    These are just a tiny fraction of the inconsistencies in the Bible. It's like the Bible has multiple personality disorder or something and can't agree on what the hell it's saying.

    Forgive me for not jumping on board with a religion that's based on that.

  • @retroman1019 Yes, I can show you a bunch of mistakes in the Bible; you obviously know little to nothing about it. The most authoritative complete version of the Old Testament in Hebrew that exists, the Leningrad Codex, has 60,000 DIFFERENCES than other manuscripts from its time period. How about 1 Sam 13:1? How old was Saul when he became king? The actual Hebrew text doesn't say because of a mistake. Same with Gen 4:8 - what did Cain say to Abel? The text doesn't say because of a mistake.

  • Ah O'Reilly...you're so pathetic and hilarious on so many many levels.

    Dawkins all the way ~

  • that O'Reilly said "you know being humble is a christian virtue" is in itself not humble at all! Just an example why "christians have better morals" is complete bullshit

  • what a shit-storm of stupid o'reilly is

  • I like how they introduce Dawkins as "ATHIEST", not "Professor" or some other more appropriate title

  • @hrosv I'm surprised FOX don't introduce Bill O'Reilly as High mage chancellor and ArchAngel of truth Bill 'WORSHIP OR BE DAMNED!" O'Reilly, before showing some footage of his heroic antics in Vietnam, Korea, both World wars and in some bizarre manner defeating Napoleans remaining fleet instead of Horatio Nelson. Such is the level of bullshit that FOX doth speaketh unto my tortured ears.

  • i'm siding with bill on this one. you can't use science when it comes to religion.

  • lol hitler was catholic who said that god told him to kill the jews

  • @azarabulness The key word there was "Catholic"

  • Apparently being humble is a Christian virtue....

  • Faux News. Welcome to the biased spin zone!

  • People like O'reilly make Christianity look bad.

    Religion isn't necessarily a bad thing. It depends on how it is interpreted. I was raised Catholic (now agnostic) and the elements that were always emphasized were moral values, love for fellow man and acceptance not the gibberish and intolerance spoken off by religious fanatics.

  • We're working on it. Evil piece of silly voice

  • O'Reilly's great!

  • yeeee zuckerman 

  • Nazi soldiers has "God is with us" (words to that effect) engraved on their belts!!

    This video shows everything I love about Richard Dawkins. A true campaigner for the advancement of the human race. Brutally honest, and true.

  • Now, scientists admit that “the tree-of-life concept...absolutely central to Darwin’s thinking, equal in importance to natural selection...lies in tatters, torn to pieces by an onslaught of negative evidence” On the cover of New Scientist was Darwin’s tree of life, along with the statement “Darwin was Wrong”. Cover-story author Graham Lawton admitted, “The tree of life, one of the iconic concepts of evolution, has turned out to be a figment of our imagination” (p. 34).

  • @wakeup2it : and,are you going to continue that article, or stop there? The point is that the simplistic tree of life view is inaccurate, not that evolution is wrong. It's that the inter-relations between all species is more complex than a simple tree model. Needs more branches and re-joining trunks and gene-trading dashed lines.This isn't some new realization within science either. It's just trickled down to the mainstream press finally. Darwin was wrong; he didn't know about DNA or plasmids.

  • O’Reilly gets a million more total viewers than HLN, CNN and MSNBC put together. Until the FACTOR, Radical Socialist were allowed to spew their lies and falsehoods to support their Socialist Progressive Liberal agendas. O'Reilly's "THE FACTOR" stopped them from spewing their socialist doctrine of propaganda. We now witness their complete downfall. Liberal Biased Stations have been fronting as "News Organizations" for many years. We now watch their deserved demise!

  • "Being humble is a Christian Virtue!"...says Bill, with a painfully smug expression. Hypocrisy much?

  • Leave it to FOX news to label Richard Dawkins just as an "Atheist"..........

  • I don't agree with Dawkins at all but he is more civilized than Bill O'Reilly could ever be.

  • im a Christan and my god o rileys a dumbass he makes the rest of us religious believers look bad

  • Bill O'Reilly needs to shove his head so far up his fuckin ass he can hear his own colon producing the goddamned shit coming out of his mouth.

    Then maybe he can learn to respect truth and stop bullshitting on national TV.

  • Dawkins' biggest failure is that he believes it is worth talking to O'Reilly

  • All of you that have written a pointless comment here are simply jealous of O'Reilly throwing strong arguments at Dawkins. Poor bastards... maybe one day you'll think of a GOOD POINT instead of offending someone just because they're RIGHT.

  • @Xjarq Name a single good point O'Reilly made. A single one that has not been discarded by philosophers centuries ago. Just 1 that cannot be discarded in a poof of logic. Go ahead, I dare you.

  • @sylvanha

    An atheist right? For you this might be satysfying:

    "I saw Apollo man, he was down there and he's not looking good".

  • @Xjarq How is that relevant in any way? How is he looking any better than a man bleeding to death on a cross? How is Yawhe any different from Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Osiris, Apollo or Zeus? Is faith suddenly an act of statistics concerning a crystallized moment in time?

    In fact, you pointed out to one of his most irrelevant comments... it only confirms gods are like fashion, they come and go and can be out of season. The Bible has changed so much it is even hard to describe the christian god.

  • @sylvanha

    I'm not in a discussion with you, I'm mocking you (atheists), that's the reason why I quoted that particular comment.

    BTW, since you you consider yourself as an expert in... actually in what? in faith? Puhlease!

    Anyhow, learn how to spell the names of gods.

    Have a nice life, man.

  • @Xjarq Yes, it's easier to mock then to enter a mature discussion and reason about a given subject. I could mock you. I don't. I just wonder how theists still exist in 2011. Still people from the medieval age among us it seems.

    btw, English is my third language, I really don't think my spelling is so bad.

  • @sylvanha

    I believe in God, you don't, so do you really think we can discuss that? AISI, faith shouldn't be a topic of any discussion, like people's tastes. Everyone's got its own and that's it.

    I ignore atheists, why can't you do the same with believers?

  • @Xjarq but your tastes dont affect others like religion does. People speak out about their social and political every day but why is religion held on such an "untouchable" pedestal?

  • O'Reilly is so embarrasing. Dawkins has such control not to laugh out loud. O'Reilly never seems to disappoint with his hilarious 'thoughts' and 'beliefs' that he is incapable of articulating. As for having to spell the word bane - how dim are his regular viewers?.

  • In Europe I doubt that anyone still believes in Apollo or Zeus, but certainly some ppl believe in the ancient Celtic Religion, as much as Druidism was recently recognized as a practiced religion in the UK. Maybe next is Paganism or the Viking Sagas!

  • The look on Mr. Dawkins face at 3:19 is priceless, you can actually read it: How can this man be so stupid!

  • Bill: "How did it get there?"

    Richard: "We have an enormous amount of evidence, Science has progressed so much over these past centuries, if you could only look at the evidence for yourself!"

    Bill: "But how did it get there?"

    Richard:*Sigh*

  • Also, every time he interrupts someone while they are trying to make a point he knows he can't counter, I want to punch him in the throat.

  • I think my ears bleed every time O'Reilly opens his mouth.

  • Orielly is so flagrantly dumb. Fox News is the perfect place for him. That tard is right where he belongs.

  • the nice thing about religious people is that the more they talk the more rediculous they look

    dawkins didn't even have to say anything

  • They both use NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) to control demographics.

  • FUCK!!! o'reilly

  • Atheism in Europe is stunning.

    Japan.

    <<

  • Sweden!!!

    Fuck Yeah!

  • I love the incredulous repetition of "in Great Britain!" when explaining 44% non-belief by Bill, as if it should be suprising that a global superpower has largely shed their bronze age superstitions. Then again, when you consider the religiousity of the US it seems odd in comparison. Still, we have Darwin on our money, w00t.

  • We shouldnt be battling each other though. We should be cooperating to discover the truth that is waiting to be found. I dont have the same beliefs as Dawkins but I do respect his approach in the search for truth, objective truth that is

  • Im a Christian and still find Oreilly's behavior embarassing. There is obviously only one truth. Something can't be both true and false. Relativists say "Whats true for you isnt necessarily true for me" but there are some truths that apply to everyone. Truth(at least when it comes to spiritual matters) cannot be one thing and something else at the same time it is objective regardless of what we believe. If we believe trucks dont exist good luck stepping in front of a semi.

  • I wanna live in Sweden, 85% atheist, best income distribution in the world, no racism, they speak English well, awesome GDP per capita, sounds like a great place to live.

  • @BlackVirusxz I basically agree about Sweeden but it needs to be mentioned that there is a fair amount of racism in Sweeden and ithe amount of anitsemitism is huge. Sweeden's got alot going for it but it's far from perfect.

  • This is hilarious Bill admitted that he would rather go for a comforting belief then just saying I don't know.

  • In a later episode, O'Reilly said he beat Dawkins in this debate. WAT?

  • Don't like O'reilly, but I say he pwned Dawkin and made Dawkins look like a babbling fool.

  • Dawkins was so Great!

    O'Reilly... not so much

  • Dawkins is an embarrassment to atheists, and O'Reilly is an embarrassment to Christians.

  • @SeraphsWitness what's wrong with dawkins?

  • @BlueBlueFeelin What's wrong with Dawkins? Or what's wrong with his arguments from a logical standpoint? Or are you more curious about his reputation as an atheist among other atheists?

  • @SeraphsWitness what i really meant was "what don't you like about him?"

  • @BlueBlueFeelin I don't have anything against him as a person, how could I? I don't know anything about him besides his worldview.

  • @SeraphsWitness fine but why is he an embarrassment to athiests?

  • @BlueBlueFeelin Because the arguments he makes are not well thought out or logical, especially when compared to some more prestigious atheists and philosophers. There are philosophers who refused to endorse his book because it was so poorly executed.

    There are some great arguments against God, but Dawkins does not make them.

  • @SeraphsWitness can you recommend anyone in particular? i'm already an atheist so maybe i accept dawkins' logic too passively

  • @BlueBlueFeelin Christopher Hitchens is much more respected... though I still disagree with the worldview of Atheism on the grounds of logic.

    If you'd like to discuss it, I'm always open to that.

  • @SeraphsWitness yeah i like hitchins but he can be a dick no doubt. seeing as that we're not yet insulting each other and over-using capital letters, i'm open to listening to your perspective. why do you believe in god, or gods.

  • @BlueBlueFeelin Yea Hitchens can be very rude, which I really dislike. But even if that's true, I try to think about his points. I'm going to send you a personal message.

  • O'Reilly gives me a headache every time I try to watch him...

    I love how he emphasizes "in Great Britain!!!" It almost sounds like "Ok, so these other countries don't give a flyin' fuck about religion, but Great Britain????? Come On!!!"

    Regardless of that anecdote, O'Reilly is an embarrassment. His logic is so flawed and his understanding of history and his intellect is so maniplative in a reductive way it is cringeworthy...

  • Personally I'm an atheist, I'm all for an engaging debate though. You won't find an engaging debate within 100 miles of O'Reilly though, he's a barely literate moron.

  • How can Richard be so gentlemen with that stupid O'reilly? I mean, that O'Reilly is fucking idiot. So, Hitler was an atheist, but also he was a vegan. So, you idiot, that means that vegans are evil too? You dumb ass :D

  • If true, atheism is a dangerous truth and should be kept secret: watch?v=HqZ0RVWh8Ig

  • that was painful to watch. o reilly is such a CLOWN

  • O'Reilly truly is a damn douche bag. Did this imbecile ever hear of constructive dialog? He did not even let Dawkins speak. Richard Dawkins on the other hand is truly dazzling and awe-inspiring as usual.

  • Dawkins is intelligent - far more than most television presenters - but i think he is still OVER-RATED. Like his god Dawkins, he says nothing new - just finds a more sensational way of presenting it to today's audience. His arguments are good but not infallible, and he does at times contradict himself.

  • i just like listening to dawkins, very respectful and humble. i started "hating" this guy before i ever heard him just cuz this friend of mine was trying to step over my faith and threw this guy into my face to somehow prove to me i was a fool. some friend, but disregarding that after hearing dawkins, i really respect him a lot. very good guy

  • Seeing you sitting so neatly at Sir Richards’s feet is such a tidy scene,

    Personally I’d rather hang out with Charlie Shean.

    I’m not here to bag Mr. Dawkins whom you obviously adore,

    No no, work I have, but not that chore.

    Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus are my rock stars,

    But you prefer Richard because that’s where you are.

    All these guys believed that those who don’t believe in God are fools,

    But in an ostrich like way you say to me that atheism rules.

  • Hitler was not a Christian, he was an evolutionists. His mind set was natural selection which is an evolution stand point. Dont believe me? Well then the Holocaust is my evidence. If that isnt natural selection I dont know what is. Some of you may say no, that was just racism, but natural selection in its self can be racist.

  • @nrdys LOL Hitler an evolutionist? where are his scientific papers?I think what you were trying to say is that Hitler was a social darwinist. There's a HUGE difference between being an evolutionary biologist and a social darwinist.

  • @nrdys Genocide is not natural. Evolution has no bias towards race.

  • @Maupert90

    It has a bias towards the "fittest" which on occasions, some with no moral basis may see situationally as race.

  • bill o'reilly is a fucking idiot , he made up his own facts just like he always does , what a fucking dumbass hitler wanst an atheist

  • Christ, wadda fuckan sham!

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder how O'Reilly lives with himself, knowing full well that 3/4 of the shit he says is false. He is an intelligent man; I am sure that he understands science and philosophy very well. However, he also understands money. He knows that this ultra-conservative, creationist charade pays out far more for individuals in the media in the United States than science or intellectualism.

  • I don't think we should buy what people say by how well they say it. Mr Dawkins with his beautiful accent makes us all want to line up and buy from this particularly British gent but hey hold on there fellers......its your soul he is selling to the devil.He is well paid. He get admiration, fame, glory and gold all because of you if you are one of his fans.By the way he believes in Satan although he is never going to admit to that. He not only believes in Satan he is undoubtedly a satanist.

  • @paulwilfridhunt Can I frame your comment and hang it on my wall? I found it extremely amusing lol

  • @lzoli18B Well yes I can see how you might be inclined to find my comment about Mr. Dawkins as being rather amusing. Are you going to hang it on the toilet wall or the bathroom wall? Please don't say the outside wall or else I'll fall of my seat having a laughing attack. I will leave you with a poem that I wrote in which Mr Dawkins gets a mention but before I do let me say this. All great detectives know the value in not just considering the probabilities but also the improbabilities.

  • @lzoli18B BENEATH THE WAVES I SPIED FOR ME A SEA SCHOOL OF FLYING FISH,

    OH TO HAVE THAT ENERGETIC LIFE IF ONLY I WISH.

    AND I MARVELLED AT THE WAY THAT THEY ALL MOVED AS ONE MAN,

    SO PRISTINE LIKE THEY FLASHED ON BY A MARINE LIFE SILVER BAND.

    JESUS CHRIST SAID GOD WAS HE WHO MADE THESE SILVER CREATURES,

    BUT MR DAWKINS AND MR HITCHENS SAY THAT THEY ARE BETTER TEACHERS.

  • 0:54 That smile says, "I'm gonna kick this dumb Yank's arse". When you watch Bill's body language, you can just tell he's intimidated by the genius that is Richard Dawkins!

  • 0:54 That smile says, "I'm gonna kick this dumb yanks arse"

  • Hitler was a christian. this is well-documented. /sigh

  • DAWKINS IS SUCH A TRUE GENTLEMEN despite O'Reillys none sense . O'Reilly on the other hand, theres no word invented to describe his stupidity, and this guy is on the airwaves!! can just picture how many people who listen to his virus babble.

  • @dreadedhalo We should invent a new word called O'Reillic / O'Reillinism etc.

  • Dawkins is simply infallible with his arguments. O'Reilly is an exposed demagogue and has very little sound arguments. 

  • You can't tell us how it all got here, so I'm going to believe in wizardry and magic because it makes so much sense and is perfectly reasonable.

  • Bill O'Reilly is such a moron. Wow.

  • If science can't explain it, it is justified to believe that God did it.

  • @eritasevoli nope

  • @eritasevoli lol, sarcasm, right?

  • @eritasevoli are you dumb?...

  • This interview had me shivering with anger, the part about apollo in particular. The look on Dawkin's face says it all.

  • "Humility is a chrstian virtue!"

    Oh right. The concept of Humility was invented 2000 years ago. What about the Egyptian mythologies that Christianity was based off of, thousands of years before.

    This is ridiculous, foundationless, and downright shameful. O'Reilly isn't letting Dawkins get a word in edgewise.

  • What a total tosser O'Reilly is.

    Call that a professionally conducted interview?

    Nothing more than a showpiece for his own belief.

    If this is what US citizens are fed, I thank goodness for the BBC..no matter what the cost.

  • @TehJedicake yeah

  • O'Reilly=cunt

  • the reason hitler and stalin had millions killed was their lack of moral foundation? as if the concept of morality didnt exist before christianity.

    also, if God created everyone, we are all God's children, shouldnt everyone have a moral foundation anyway? placed there by God himself? even without the knowledge of His existence, we should still have the virtues He gave us....

  • to be honest, for a Fox News Segment, that was not half bad, lol

  • @MentallyBlown Yes, this was relatively (read: a little bit) unbiased. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay this way for the next meeting with Mr. Dawkins :(.

  • Hitler wasn't an atheist - he was a christian - there was even a special church system in germany tied to the fascist regime. The same was in Italy or Nazi Slovakia. The movement revolving around catholic church and fascism was called "clerofascism". It's kinda sad, but the catholic church cooperated a lot with both Hitler and Mussolini and it was with Mussolini at power, when the Lateran treaty was signed, recognising full sovereignty of Vatican and making it an independent country.

  • fuck, did he just say hitler was a confirmed atheist?

  • S-E-N-A-T-O-R P-A-L-P-A-T-I-N-E...I mean Dawkin, I mean Palpatine. These guys are so identical.....how's life on the Death Star?

  • o'rielly doesn't even buy his own bullshit. he's just appealing to his audience.

  • @akaskyscraper - you mean like Dawkins is doing? He does this on every friggin show. Same schtick. Same schpeel.

  • @TheStarrrK if dawkins has good arguments, then there is no need to change them. I'm pretty sure o'rielly knows he's beat. He flat out says, "I don't know if Jesus was god but I'm throwing in with the Christians." Not very confident in his argument and rightly-fully so. I'll give him that much credit. At least he realizes that god might not exist. But w/e. I don't believe much of what o'rielly says is sincere anyway, so I don't want to dissect his words too much.

  • @akaskyscraper i feel the same way. he seems a smart individual, bar all the crap that actually comes out of his mouth. i'm not being sarcastic.

  • O'Reilly is a pompous ass and incapable of discussing anything in a meaningful manner. I don't think poor Richard Dawkins was quite prepared for how much of an arrogant, boorish, jackass O'Reilly is.

  • Richard Dawkins really does sound like an elderly woman. Lol

  • Mustaches are evil.
