@DragonDave555 I'm lost. Where's your punctuation, man? You don't make sense and I have a feeling that if I could understand your point I would still think you're stupid.
I don't like this "we don't have proof" I more of a it's ridiculous and only someone scared and desperate or who has been brain washed their whole life would turn to literalistic religious philosophies. They don't think every book they read is a 100% true so why their chosen sect. We don't ask for proof of narnia we just disregard it
TheAnesthetics So you don't have an issue with the ideology of religion or its concepts itself? its just the habits and actions of the people who follow it that is relevant? straw-man argument my friend. Believing that Empiricism in itself disproves spirituality is a faith in itself. ''Prove'' me wrong with a logical argument this time...please...i'm bored :)
God is a fictitious fabrication devised by human beings for power and control. Man needs support for his fears and is open to domination by theologian authoritarian figures. Mankind hasn't the intellectual capacity to discern the existence of a god or not. It's all thoughtless conjecture.
That's not really true. We don't go to "Nothing" church, we don't ask for "Nothing" donations. We don't go door to door trying to make people believe "Nothing". We don't wage wars against people who don't believe "Nothing". So, nothing about your argument is true.
Not believing in something doesn't require faith. We don't believe in God because we need proof. If you had an ounce of intelligence, that's quite the opposite of faith.
@TheAnesthetics perhaps it is not identical to Christianity in its habits but it has a name and is fairly dogmatic. Perhaps atheism is not becoming a religion as such but an institution.
@Darius135gease Oh sorry, you've read one book on Theology and are now an enlightened, highly educated free thinker? Simply agreeing with the zeitgeist is as ignorant as fanatical creationism ignoring empirical facts. Go read some more books...
He's not bright because he believes in something? You can be a Wiccan and be the smartest person on the Earth. You can DEEP DOWN believe that Pokemon exist somewhere and be the smartest person on the Earth. Just because a guy believe in some/all aspects of Christianity does not reflect his intelligence. All the -amazing- people of the Renaissance would like a word with you Mr. Dawkins.
If Atheism erased religion, over thousands of years, and only very few people still believed in God, I'm sure the world would long for something imaginative and fictional to believe in again; that is, the world will "grow up", and then everyone will realize nothing has really changed for them, and that they can be young at heart and mind and still survive through life just fine.
@Mentocthemindtaker Should they have pretended that there is something rational about believing in a magic man in the clouds? Would that have been unbiased?
I was mostly just commenting that usually talk shows just interview guests about whatever they're promoting. If they do present a point of view on a particular issue they usually present both sides of the argument.
Like I said , I really enjoyed this, it's good to see rational thought being discussed so well on television. I just thought it was unusual.
science can answer unto science what science requires ... but there is a whole load of stuff that is from a different reality ... for example: wikipedia - jalus/rainbow body ... like i say, a different reality...
Darwin wasn't a creationist but I do believe that he did believe in a higher power so I don't know what he meant when he said that Darwin had a deathbed conversion
@Jscuzza any rational skeptic must. There is no proof that one doesn't exist because it's essentially unprovable either way. The ones we know of are all man made but we can't prove that there is no intelligent designing force. It's just ridiculously unlikely and if true the designer is a tyrant.
I can't wait till the 23rd century when people will be living in digital worlds and will have access to old archived websites such as you tube. then They can look back on these videos and maybe read our comments. Cause its likely someone will see this comment if its archived and kept for 100s upon 1000s upon 10s of 1000s of years so it feels good to be part of some of the first atheists relatively.

@deanmullen10 Awesome, maybe this comment has been archived. Hey, future human, still play the game in the future? THE GAME. Hi from 2011, if it's possible clone me, I was awesome, trust me.
@deanmullen10 I never really thought of it that way. We really are, relatively, the pioneers. A world without religion? Perhaps it will never happen, but the statistics say it's on the way.
@deanmullen10 "first atheists" ?? lets see, humans have been around for 300,000 years.....pretty sure there have been atheists before there was any "god".
@theabcsofstds first large group of atheists, because before the modern world there wasn't many atheists, maybe 1 in a few 1000 and atheism has a stronger meaning than the time when they simply didn't believe in god because they never gave thought to the idea of god or where everything came from, I meant in that way, I didn't mean it literally.
It makes NO practical difference whether or not God exists !!! It does, however, make a practical difference to what degree we have Scientific understanding of nature... It's the ONLY thing that makes our lives BETTER then that of our ancestors.
A real scientific argument would not rely on smug self-assurance, and the balance of cheers-to-jeers in the crowd at a talk show. Fact is nobody KNOWS for sure what is "behind it all," but to me it seems the height of stupidity to see all the matter, energy, and life in the Universe, and stubbornly cling to an unsupported dogma that this is all there is, and it all came from nothing, for no reason. Even if you don't want to believe in the Christian God per se. Look up "Hubble Ultra-Deep-Field."
@DominicMetal1979 Rarely do people make fun of deists. The people who get made fun of are the people who believe things in spite of evidence to the contrary, like people who believe that everything the Bible says is true, or the Bible is the best book ever. Those people are believing things that are proven to be untrue, and they deserve to be ridiculed.
If you just think there may be some sort of intelligence "behind it all", I doubt you'll ever find anyone to mock you for that.
@ninjajesus81 OK, fair enough. I do have reasons I believe that the intelligence behind it all is the Christian/Jewish God, but mostly my point is just that people should not be smug, and IMO there is no place for ridiculing or mocking anyone. The mere act of mocking is a bad character trait, regardless of the target. People should be caring and good-natured.
I don't think you can show me anything in the Bible that has been proven to be untrue. Genesis 1, possibly is not to be taken literally?
@DominicMetal1979 There are other facts which have been reported as mistaken historically too. Misinformation was common in those days much more than in the renaissance. Anyway Bill O'Reilly was completely hostile to anyone who did not think as him. Did you watch his interview with Richard Dawkins? He does not do that with Dawkins only but also with many other people. Bill Maher was instead friendly ground for Dawkins that's why he was able to explain better.
@DominicMetal1979 It shows absolutely nothing, just your sheer stupidity in assuming things that do not exist. Please refrain from misleading other people to the wrong conclusions.
@DominicMetal1979 So the Hubble Ultra-Deep-Field showed some very ancient galaxies. And that is reason to assume that the universe is *not* all there is how?
"Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given to the profane masses is another useful idiot for Jesuit machinations"-C.O.
Jesuitical: pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuits completely altered the education system to suit their evolution agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible.
can you speak using your own created voice??????????????? can you breath using an air created by your science containing your own molecules and atoms????? FOOOOOOLIIIISH
However, we were evolved into a world where these things were plentiful, and because of this, (some) living things adapted to breathing air and using our voices in a way which can be called "speech".
Either way, though, the fact that these things were here for us to evolve into using does not mean, by default, that there is a God who created it; so your point is entirely irrelevant.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
@lightandbeautiful Truth is is a human construction and is completely memetic. There is no real truth to anything, just interpretation. So automatically I know your channel is a load of bollocks and your message is bigotted nonsense. Anyone claiming to have the truth about anything is wrong.
Of course homosexual and heterosexual relationships are different, you foolish person. Men and women relate differently to each other than men do to men and women to women.
I like Richard Dawkins somewhat and Bill Maher too BUT just because their is no scientific "evidence" of the existence of god doesn't really mean there is any less than a 50-50 % chance of there being a god !
@LittleBabyWheeler but to be fair a flying spaghetti monster is a very spcecific thing, saying there's a god in general - some supreme being is much different
@eddyg545 no you can't - the possiblity of there being a god is much more high than saying something specific like "god is a platapus", etc...
What you said is like saying there's a chance there's a building in say Seattle that is in between a certain height and then saying there's EQUALLY as valid a chance that there's a building of a certain height that was built in some random year and has a random number of people (you randomly pick) living in it
7. Ability to be at every single point in space at once
and I could go on but those are the common traits of the western god. Am I being far fetched when I want a platypus god? How is a human god any more probable than a platypus god?
7. Ability to be at every single point in space at once
and I could go on but those are the common traits of the western god. Am I being far fetched when I want a platypus god? How is a human god any more probable than a platypus god?
@eddyg545 Ok, you're totally right when it comes to ORGANIZED RELGION , but just believing that's there's likely a greater being is completely different - that does not go nearly as far as organized relgions
It looks like Bill finally found true love, because he seems to be obcessed with Dawkins. Now if they will just come out of the closet they can be happy for the rest of their lives.
Also, Bill Maher is pretty deluded about christians i.m.o. Not about christianity that much, but about christians. To say they're all the same in their beliefs is pretty ridiculous.
@lilbadman96 So then what about all the atheists, or anyone who doesn't believe in God? Is that God's greatest trick as well as Satan's? Because niether Satan nor God actually said anything directly to any person as far as I know. And I have not ever met God nor Satan personally so I have no proof to believe that they do exist.

@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy Not yet. I`m now reading "the selfish gene" and I hope I`ll have time to read "The greatest show on earth" during the winter vacations since I`m a student.
@ThreeLions89 yes definitely! right now i am part way through The Blind Watchmaker and i'm enjoying it quite a bit. i personally liked The Greatest Show on Earth better than the God Delusion. both great books but i love reading more about science stuff.
once you're done reading Dawkins, i highly suggest Carl Sagans Cosmos!! also a fantastic book!
@TimurTheConqueror "Richard Hawkins" Who? :P Ohhh... do you mean Dawkins?
"nuts putting their beliefs down peoples throat i seen atheists do it all the time" There's good reasons for that, good factual reasons. For instance: Religious people oppose science to one degree or another, in the vast majority, by assuming "God did X" or "God did Y". It holds back the whole human race, if there's still people saying "I won't think about the origin of life, because God dunnit!". We need real answers.
My father was a Jehovah's Witness before he read Dawkins' book (he was brought up in a religious family) and he's now sworn that he's gonna help fight so that children will not have to suffer what he did.
I once said to my deeply Christian friend, "The Bible is kind of like the Harry Potter books really" to which he replied, "No, you can't make the Bible up, it's too difficult". What? It's difficult to make up a story about a talking snake? And the building of an ark that can carry 2 of EVERY species on Earth!?!
On my death bed i will say something like......"I wish i'd had more sex and learned to play the guitar properly". It's easier to get their knickers off if you can play something "romantic"
Faith is the bridge between not understanding something and understanding it, its entirely natural- religion feeds on this and manipulates it, it is a very dangerous thing
There isn't a correlation between intelligence and faith. Faith is spiritual and has to be experienced, not taught. There is no way to prove that a God exists but there is no way to disprove it. The Bible isn't mean to be taken literally, it uses stories to convey a message.
@MrTreantHugger "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."(Leviticus 20:13 KJV)
There isn't a correlation between intelligence and faith. Faith is spiritual and has to be experienced, not taught. There is no way to prove that a THE INVISIBLE PINK UNICORN exists but there is no way to disprove it.

However, we were evolved into a world where these things were plentiful, and because of this, (some) living things adapted to breathing air and using our voices in a way which can be called "speech".
Either way, though, the fact that these things were here for us to evolve into using does not mean, by default, that there is a God who created it; so your point is entirely irrelevant.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

@lightandbeautiful Truth is is a human construction and is completely memetic. There is no real truth to anything, just interpretation. So automatically I know your channel is a load of bollocks and your message is bigotted nonsense. Anyone claiming to have the truth about anything is wrong.
Of course homosexual and heterosexual relationships are different, you foolish person. Men and women relate differently to each other than men do to men and women to women.

I like Richard Dawkins somewhat and Bill Maher too BUT just because their is no scientific "evidence" of the existence of god doesn't really mean there is any less than a 50-50 % chance of there being a god !

@eddyg545 no you can't - the possiblity of there being a god is much more high than saying something specific like "god is a platapus", etc...
What you said is like saying there's a chance there's a building in say Seattle that is in between a certain height and then saying there's EQUALLY as valid a chance that there's a building of a certain height that was built in some random year and has a random number of people (you randomly pick) living in it
There's a difference

3. Ability to create earth
4. Ability to create every living thing on earth
5. Ability to embody himself within a human
6. Ability to listen to our thoughts
7. Ability to be at every single point in space at once
and I could go on but those are the common traits of the western god. Am I being far fetched when I want a platypus god? How is a human god any more probable than a platypus god?

@TimurTheConqueror "Richard Hawkins" Who? :P Ohhh... do you mean Dawkins?
"nuts putting their beliefs down peoples throat i seen atheists do it all the time" There's good reasons for that, good factual reasons. For instance: Religious people oppose science to one degree or another, in the vast majority, by assuming "God did X" or "God did Y". It holds back the whole human race, if there's still people saying "I won't think about the origin of life, because God dunnit!". We need real answers.

There isn't a correlation between intelligence and faith. Faith is spiritual and has to be experienced, not taught. There is no way to prove that a God exists but there is no way to disprove it. The Bible isn't mean to be taken literally, it uses stories to convey a message.
