  • I laugh when people say that you should respect insane religious beliefs like Mormonism. So if I tell people that I believe Elvis is still alive and his spirit is watching me from the sky, should I expect people to take me seriously? Of course not. Mormonism should be laughed out of our society and anyone who believes such nonsense like Mitt Romney should be given the same amount of intellectual respect as a crazy person on the street.

  • Damn good point from Hitchens; Romney was a member of an officially racist organization while he was an adult. That in and of it's self should disqualify him from being President.

  • What shocks me is that Mitt Romney keeps winning and apparently it looks like he will most likely become the Republican nominee.

  • Mark Twain has some harsh things to say about the book of mormon such as calling it "chloroform in print" & also if they removed all the 'it came to pass's it would be a pamphlet, that: "The Mormon Bible is rather stupid and tiresome to read, but there is nothing vicious in its teachings. Its code of morals is unobjectionable --it is "smouched" [Milton] from the New Testament and no credit given."

  • The Mormon religion is so obviously fake and ridiculous is hardly needs exposing. Waste of time for greats like Hitchens and Dawkins to be talking about them

  • I have always made the point that the Mormon books are written in 17th century english and proves that they are false. I have not heard anyone else until now, Dawkins, make that point.

  • lol dawkins answer was better and more funny, sorry hitch i still love you :D

  • What does Hitchens have against polygamy? And how was an uneducated farmboy with only 3 years formal schooling write something like The Book of Mormon?

  • @yesman2079 for one it treats women as property. are you for that? and any idiot can copy shite from books. open your eyes. he was an admitted and convicted conman. why do people continue to make excuses?? same with scientology. it's mindboggling how idiotic people can be

  • The whole damn United States was a racist organization before 1864!

  • Where the hell do the other Judeo-Christian religions get the permission to beat Mormons down. Mormons believe in Jesus Christ... hell it's in the name of their church. Also was Joseph Smith a fraud of convinced of his calling in life? If someone has faith in something it isn't deception or lying if that person truly believe in what they are doing. Also where the hell do they get this stuff? How many Latter Day Saints aka "Mormons" do these nay sayers take time to get to know anyways?

  • sorry not done yet.

    Most of the Mormons I've met are very devout, very open minded and kind people. They may have alot of strict rules, but that is because they believe that if they are going to call themselves the "restored, hence "true" as in the original, bona fide one that Christ established" then they have to live up to a high standard.... Also even if their religion is made up how does that invalidate it and its' believers? Don't we still respect Buddhists?

  • Don't we still respect Hindus? As much hatred as there could be in the US towards Islam, people have used their good sense to draw the line between what being a true Muslim is and how a terrorist isn't one. Why do people today not take that perspective with Latter Day Saints? Are there Polygamists? Yes... are they a part of the actual Mormon Church? NO. Mormons repealed Polygamy. And if that makes them false, then please count for me how many times the Catholic church has been called

  • out by scientific observation, philosophy on how many of it's dogmatic beliefs were flat out wrong. Why does everyone pick on Latter Saints? Why is there is so much animosity towards them? Also what is it with the damn Atheists trying to beat Christians and other religious people down? If you are all truly the intellectually superior people you claim you are then quit being such dicks and acting like you're smarter than everyone. We get it, "God doesn't exist" fine.

  • @MEATYOKERRable Because science takes us to the moon, religion flies us into buildings, that is why we want humanity to give up on the bronze age myths.

  • Comment removed

  • @SuperShockjock

    "Because science takes us to the moon, religion flies us into buildings" All religions do that? And keep in mind that the US sent men to the moon on technology born out of making war on civilians and refined for the US by the very same Nazi scientists to built them in the first place. Look it up: Werner Von Braun, The V2, V-weapons, Space Race. The issue is human nature. Religion like science tries to elevate man to a higher level. To make him throw aside

  • @SuperShockjock

    his base nature. Human nature is what gets in the way. Human nature to hate, oppress, destroy, enslave, persecute... is what taints us. You can argue all you want about organized religion being used as mind control. But what about the Third Reich? What about the Khmer Rouge? What about Gulag system of the Soviet Union that tried to take religion out of the picture. Did those regimes elevate mankind?

  • @SuperShockjock

    also.... "Bronze Age Myths"... Whether or not people decide to accept the teachings of the bible or any other religion for that matter is based solely on faith. It is the their decision. However keep in mind that the Bronze Age Myths you speak of did much to civilize Europe, and make us more humane with time. The lesson is be it ancient or new, higher philosophies fail because man is naturally selfish.

  • @MEATYOKERRable "Where the hell do the other Judeo-Christian religions get the permission to beat Mormons down" Deuteronomy 18 is where they get off. It says to kill anyone who falsely claims to speak for God. So according to scripture they need to die.

  • You really need to re-upload this or put Romney in the title or something. It is very important that people see this now

  • A cult

  • @DB25islive

    Get to know a few. They're Christians.

  • @MEATYOKERRable No there not they think they are..mormons arent christians...christians are christians

  • @morace250 mormons ARE christians. they believe in jesus. done. are presbyterians or episcapalians not xchan? they are all differently named things for the same silly shit

  • @RandomTrollAccount I remember when they found the original papyri text from witch the book of Abraham is said to of come.The church was so excited to have the original manuscript that Joseph Smith transulated the book of abraham from.Turn out it was just a egyptian burial scroll called the "book of breathing".Had nothing to do with the book of Abraham.Right there and then the leaders of the mormon church knew Smith was a con man..

  • @RandomTrollAccount So they began the very slow repositing of the church repositing the product.Now they all want to be Christian.Which was unsettling to alot of Christians to have this church which was mormon trying to crawl into bed with them.How would you feel if a stranger with bad eating habbits crawled into bed with you..So they repositioned everything trying to crawl into bed with all the Christian churches Because you know that Christianity been around for 2000yrs there safer there.

  • @RandomTrollAccount Well according to that login muslim are Christains because they believe in Jesus Too!! lol fail

  • all religions are EXACTLY the same. if they help you get thru the day, that`s fine. There is no possible way that any of them have a shred of truth in them. THEY WERE ALL WRITTEN BY PEOPLE---get it??? People who wipe their asses, just like You and I do!

  • @toddmastria1 with that logic then everything written by a man is garbage! I guess everything is ever learned in school must not be real cause it written by people right?

  • @toddmastria1 with that logic then everything written by a man is garbage! I guess everything is ever learned in school must not be real cause it written by people right?

  • Vat does YU gets ven u takes the middle 'M' outta the word MorMon?

    Yu gets M O R O N !

  • The fact that something like mormonism is able to exist in the manner that it does is why I think it's time we defined a precise limit on the virtue of religious tolerance. Just how nutty do a person's religious beliefs have to be before we stop giving them a free pass? At what point do we start questioning the sanity of people who believe their underwear is magic?

  • @LordClydeofOMAR why does it matter?

  • I love you Hitchens ...U were and are the best

  • @billyspeer24 Wow shut up.

  • @billyspeer24 we know what mormonism is

  • @billyspeer24

    we all know everything about your stupid religion, wake up

  • @billyspeer24 why don't you pray that we kill ourselves instead.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes Book of Mormon is an obvious scam by a guy who was a well practiced scammer.

    Yes the belief structure is ridiculous.

    Yes their structure is totalitarian and can break up families.

    However.... They just seem to be better educated with fairly level headed approach to politics and social issues.

    Definitely more useful humans then evangelical nutcases.

  • @mryellow123 thats only because they r white...

  • @josephc28 But isn't it ironic that the same people who were so eager to jump on Obama for having a pastor with some nutty beliefs don't seem to care in the slightest that their frontrunner for 2012 served on a mission for a racist church?

  • @451ianDragonist I didn't base my decision not to vote for Obama on the fact he attended a church with a racist pastor. If anything, you should be asking yourself, why did Obama break away from that church? He had been attending there for years, and I seriously doubt he only became aware of Rev. Wright's beliefs when he decided to run for President. Romney was raised as a Mormon. Obama made the choice as an adult to attend Rev. Wright's church, and he attended the church for years.

  • People are just desparate to grab at what they can. You have all of these cooky religions everywhere from the Mormons, to the Scientologists, to the Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans, Presbyterians....and the list goes on and on. They are all nutters who need to grab.

  • It's funny. The mormon bible's explanation for Native Americans is that they were a lost tribe of isrealites. I'd explain more, but I value your IQ'S

  • @berner Thanks for sparing us. This is a fine lot of loonies over there!!

  • @ProJanitor 1: Best comeback ever "u sound like a bitch." 2: Best profession ever.

  • Any religion who was formatted by a regular human , and did not suffer for it , isn't a religion but a splinter group , such as the Islamic terrorists . Imposing what they feel is right , to their advantage .

    GIANFRANCO FRONZI. february . 10 / 12

  • 'Twixt Mormon and Moron there's just one letter.

    Were Mormons not Morons we'd feel much better!

  • hitchens died from cancer i wonder if he's in hell now

  • @ProJanitor There is no hell. And even if there was he wouldn't be in it because any intelligent god would see that he was perfectly justified in being an atheist and wanted nothing more to better our world and our species. Which is far more than can probably be said for you, so if you believe in a hell you should probably be more worried about going to it yourself.

  • @ciciomax why because i was simply wondering if his dead ass is in hell?

  • @ProJanitor Yep. How typically hypocritically Christian of you. Looks like you are a prime example of the hatred that Christianity teaches.

  • @ciciomax who said im christian. you seem to know it all already.

  • @ProJanitor Well you certainly believe in some form of bullshit or another if you believe in hell. At the end of the day, I don't care what religion you come from, they all promote ignorance and hatred.

  • @ciciomax u sound like a bitch

  • @ProJanitor LOL ...And my point is proven.

  • @ciciomax only bitches keep arguing since they always right. a woman is never wrong i bet you a big ass bitch

  • @ciciomax Actually western civilization promotes ignorance and hatred, hence why the average IQ is so low over there. Most of the stuff u blame on religion is simply an exucse for your own lack of ability.

  • @ikcjjtt Attacking a large group of people for having low I.Q.s while using "u" instead of "you" is so deliciously ironic that I could eat a universe full of it!

  • @personEks

    eh, check out the USA then, they have started wars over far less. :/

  • @ikcjjtt Did you even understand my last post? Or is your low I.Q. preventing that? I support no military, especially the American military. To call them, or any other military, "terrorists" is not strong enough; but if you seriously think that they(the U.S. military) have started wars over something less than calling out the delectable irony of your moronic post, you are really detached from reality.

  • @personEks my IQ was too low to understand your last post. But i beleive the USA is evil...its required for my religion...its based on faith....................leave me alone!

  • @ikcjjtt Bother, do not base such important things on faith, it will prove false in the end. The U.S. government is evil, I agree, but not the people of the U.S. They are victims of it's cruelty also. I would also say that religion is evil, that is enslaves and darkens the human mind which is a terrible crime. Money and the governments that are suckled on it also seek to enslave and darken minds. I will leave you alone now.

  • @ProJanitor Meaningless. There's no hell. You might as well ask if he's on top of Olympus or whether he's been reincarnated.

  • @Spoonface370 well he hasn't been reincarnated cuz his stupid ass isn't spewing out more know-it-all bullshit.

  • OH MAN! That Dawkins part is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Calling Joseph Smith a moutebank!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! I at least agree with him on that. Joseph Smith was the 1800s version of a goddamn youtube troll.

  • Mormonisms claims about the Nephites and Laminites (how ever they're spelled) are just completely absurd. Read up on early American History. Specifically when England first started putting colonies on the east coast of North America. Mormons have no archaeological evidence for any of their claims and the actual history contradicts their beliefs. That is enough to throw Mormonism out the window for me.

  • @FATBIRD333 Your right, its a load of bullshit, but there is no religion on the planet that has any evidence to support its claims, why you and i could start our own religion right now and there is no evidence required, just idiots who have faith in our lies

  • Belonging to a racist church didn't hurt Obama.

  • @healthaddiction what do you mean?

  • @blackdiamondmarine Obama attended a racist church that vilified whites. The Rev blasted white folks. You know, the Reverend hypocrite who now lives in a mansion in a white neighborhood.

  • All mormons are surrounded by the halo of Scottish serpents. The underpinned thunder claps from a star shaped whiskey bottle. Joseph smith was a schitzophrenic cattle herding child molester.

    Did you know, the rings of saturn were formed around Joseph smiths bellend? His grandma is a perfect example of sheepshearing shenanigans, whilst uncle Jeffrey cut cloth in kidderminster.

    How about that for bollocks talk?

  • When did the Mormons sneakily slip the letter "m" into Mormon?

  • @mikelheron20

    What "ormon"?

  • @gourdonboy You're kidding me, right?

  • @mikelheron20...wouldn't it actually be funny if you wrote 'Moron' 

  • @sdmac21 No. It would be too obvious. I prefer humour to be a little more subtle.

  • saying mormon twice isn't subtle, it's just a poor attempt at delivery.

    It had potential though, I'll give you that - participation ribbon!

  • @sdmac21 I can't be too subtle. I have to bear in mind that may of the people reading these commnts are American.

  • @mikelheron20 hahaha very true; I will rescind my earlier comments on that premise. Well played

  • @mikelheron20 the second M is silent where I'm from

  • Comment removed

  • I thought it said "moron", now I see I was correct.

  • Nobody like mormons, its a fact.

  • @borgoff55 "Nobody like mormons, its a fact" partially true. Nobody likes mormon missionaries learning vital life skills like being a used car salesman or grifter along with the leadership of the LDS cult

    But for 90% of the laity, they are some of the most gracious, helpful, communal and wonderful people on the planet. They are truly some of the best humanity has to offer which is why the LDS cult preys upon such good people

    Which is why I despise the LDS cult and leaders so much

  • Guy 1-"You want to hear a joke?"

    Guy 2-"Sure."

    Guy 1-"Mormonism"

    Guy 2-"LOL"

  • @Posiedon58327 Like asking for a comic book and being handed the Book of Mormon, and not think twice about it

  • YES! NO man will ever be a mormon and a president of the United States! All scams and lies. Mr. Smith is leading all the weak minded to hell with him.

  • Has anyone read "A Study in Scarlet" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? It is the first story in which Sherlock Holmes appears, and it includes a "story within a story" of how the persecuted Mormons settled in Utah, just to become the worst kind of persecutors themselves.

  • @searchlight18

    Religion is one big weak point. And the fact that people like you decide that it is tyre and automatically assume anyone who thinks differently is wrong either makes you an idiot or brainwashed.

    Anyone Who decides to stand against religion deserves praise if they do it rationally, and such is Dawkins' appeal.

  • LMAO good luck america. Your new president. A Mormon nutcase!

  • @onedeadcat Mitt has all-but lost this up-and-coming election already. He's practically already given his concession speech. So we will have to content ourselves with our present God-botherer. (see him waxing imbecilic during the recent Prayer Breakfast)

  • We need a Hitch in 2012 to bark about Romney's faith.

  • @Tsnore: Dawkins is an idiot.He always attacks his opponents weakest point, and then claims victory,which all naive young 'you-tubers' admire as superior wisdom. Read a book once in while,and get off this soul-sapping internet while there's still a chance to survive.

  • Cant we all just get along?......Ohhh, no we cant. Religioun wont let us.

  • dawkins es un ateo totalitario, . No acepta que otras personas tienen otras creencias, no es tolerante . Se empecina en poner en ridiculo a Dios , a las religiones y a los que creen en ello. Este personaje esta condenado al fracaso porque mas de 6 billones de personas en la tierra son creeyentes.

  • @elcachorro1900 "A:Dawkins is an atheist totalitarian. Do not accept that other people have other beliefs, it is not tolerant. Does it persist to ridiculous God, religions and those who believe in it. This character is doomed to failure because more than 6 billion people on earth are creeyentes." translated.

    Dr. Dawkins is a highly educated and very intelligent person who values whether or not what he accepts is actually true. You obviously "believe" that is not important.

  • @RhondaH Gracias por la traduccion. (98% ) . No discuto su nivel intelectual, tampoco su educacion. Lo que critico es la forma en que trata de ridiculizar a Dios. Pienso que para los creyentes Dios esta por encima de toda las cosas ( primero Dios,luego los padres,hijos ..etc.) Lo que Dawkins hace es mofarse de todos..esa es la forma de exponer y confrontar ideas de un "intelectual"?.

  • @elcachorro1900 translated "Thank you for the translation. I do not dispute your intellectual level, nor his education. What I am criticising is the way in which tries to ridicule God. I think that those who believe God is above all things for (God first, then parents, children...)(etc.) What Dawkins makes is to taunt everyone...This is the way of exposing and confronting ideas of a "intelectual"?.

    Is it not appropriate to taunt people who hold falsehoods as true?

  • Estos blanquitos son de lo mas hipocritas, ahora acusan a Mitt R. de discriminar a los negros ( aunque el nunca compartio el estado de los negros en mormonismo) y se olvidan que todos los blancos, todos sus antepasados discriminaron y esclavisaron a los negros.

  • I am missing Hitchens already - come back and save us from Mitt Romney

  • when r people going to start studying the history of what they believe in

  • Is the garden of eden being in Missouri really any sillier than the nonsense that makes up the majority of the other religions?

  • Hitchens didn't have the guts to expose the government's link to the creation of Mormonism, Scientology, etc.

  • @TheGoalSetter LOL Go play with Alex Jones and Ron Paul !

  • @sharkattacksteve Speaking of Alex Jones, AJ is a front. BTW: Hitchens was a zionist...that's why didn't expose certain people.

  • @TheGoalSetter Hitchens was a truth seeker, and called zionism a 'stupid, messianic superstitious idea'. How you can just spout off such vaccuous unsupported bollocks is just pathetic. Hitchens never said anything that he didn't thoroughly research, or have good reason for doing so. Which is why he was one of the best political journalists of our time, and antitheist lest we forget.

  • I was once the "meat" in a Dawkins-Hitchens sandwich next to learning Bron-y-aur it was the highlight of my career.

  • It's so funny Richard just can't crasp the stupidity of people. Yes, they are really that dumb! Quite scary, right?

  • 75% of people in prison think they're going to a christian heaven...

    24.75% of people in prison think they're going to some other final resting place.

    less than 0.25% of people in prison think there's no god, and when they die nothing will happen.

  • @inEarthCEO Actually, 100% of guys in prison are atheists, they convert when they can't take the joys of anal rape. I feel like committing a felony.

  • @inEarthCEO Where do those figures come from I wonder, and which country do they refer to?

  • I always thought a Mormon was just a person who couldn't spell "Moron"

  • @inEarthCEO lmao

  • @inEarthCEO i believe joseph smith try to give a hint, only the dumb ones didnt get it.

  • Joseph Smith, was run out of Illinois for stealing livestock. His "visions" apparently came from his affliction with epilepsy. Apart from their presumptuous "temples" and their boring, milquetoast (though hugh) choir, the Mormons are known for their business networking among one another. The whole NuSkin thing has made a lot of Mormons rich and a lot of hopefuls disappointed. (pyramid scheme).

  • Any one who thinks the garden of eden is in Missouri obviously hasn't been there.

  • @Gullpped Yeah i live here, Eden? LOLNO

  • They all believe in the talking snake! They are all fools to me!

  • Why is RD wearing a Hitler moustache?

    And not a very good one at that, I can tell you...

  • Mormonism is not Christianity. Mormonism is Satanism trying to pass itself off as Christianity.

  • @tamething1 Arguing about who has the better imaginary friend is kind of a waste of time though.

  • Yay i learned a cool new word from this:

    moun·te·bank/ˈmountiˌbaNGk/

    Noun: A person who deceives others, esp. in order to trick them out of their money; a charlatan. A person who sold patent medicines in public places.

  • Oh dear oh dear. People do take fairy tales and hoaxes very seriously don't they?

  • I can't believe that people think that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri -- how ridiculous!!! Especially when everyone knows it was in South Omaha! LOL!

  • @markedwardindc just as ridiculous as thinking there was a garden of eden at all

  • @markedwardindc Why You Gotta Dis My Religion Buddy?....& FYI It Was In Little Rock Arkansas...........Lmao!

  • LDS = LSD

  • "...and, I'm a sack of shit" sayeth the Mormon.

    Having been surrounded by a cadre of religious assholes for the last six years, all I can say is to hell with all Christian fundamentalism.

    Hitchens should be alive and thriving, the rest of these religious fucks should be in their own hell.

  • @Capt777harris Amen, brother!

  • @Capt777harris Love the way Dawkins is outraged by how people can easily be led,,,,

    It amazes me in the days of space travel and hubble telescope many believe a sky fairy exists despite the fact they can download web pictures from hubble of stars and planets being "born"

  • @ZukefliJohan Yeah, go figure.

  • @Capt777harris

    or their own heaven. hell is actually better from what i can read in bible. at east you don't have to praise some being for eternity in hell

  • @Capt777harris Well you see by their own rules they're going to hell for their own bigotry. "Judge not lest thee be judged thyself" I think that's somewhere in there. Also something about removing a log from your own eye before removing a splinter from your neigbour's eye. Meaning before you judge others look at yourself.

  • @Capt777harris Gotta love militant atheism.

  • 17th century english was how the book of mormon was written? just think if it were written in ebonics..lmfao!!!

  • @cjh661 bahahaha ebonics bible.... they should release a translation into "txtspk" for the young who are illiterate and can only talk in SMS shorthand.

  • Only because the Jews had no land to call a nation of their own, they could not practice their Orthodoxy , which required stoning people , gouging out eyes, and making people slaves, The Muslims are the twin Religion to the Jews, but since they had the lands, they practiced their culture. The Jews became modern only because they lived under the structure of Christendom.  All the while they hated the Name of Jesus, the only Path to Modernity , was through the Christian Church Age. Repent

  • @CarmineFragione: I can't tell if this is a joke or not?

  • Only Commie Atheist Historical Revisionists attempt to beguile the world to think they get any credit for the Enlightenment. The fact is the greatest learned scholars that brought about modern society in Europe were Catholics, Catholics, beginning with Luther, were the only ones who brought about the Reformation Age, Take away Catholic Europe and the rest of history is left to Barbarous times, just go to Afghanistan and see how the other half yet lives in the world which had no Catholicism

  • European Society before the Catholic Church was called by the Romans "Barbarian World" The Catholic Church combined the Roman Way of Cicero and the Judaism of the Saints of Yeshua , called Jesus , to change the Barbarian world into the GOTHIC AGE OF KINGS. This age of Gothic Europe , was not Roman or Catholic but German . The advancing times of Enlightenment and Renaissance came Catholic Education not by Atheists. Atheists invented nothing of Civilization at any time, except DEOCIDE

  • The Jews and Arabs in their religion gave men rights, but women no rights, nothing . And the Hindus and the Buddhists all the world over treated women as Chattel Property , only the man had any power, The Atheists of Russia gave no one rights, so they were more equitable in denying everyone any rights . Only the Catholic Faith prepared the world to the Age of Enlightenment. Most of the Scholars were Catholic, who then Reformed the European Society , they were not Atheists. Repent.

  • The Jews in their Religion , permitted women to be stoned to death, men to have their eyes gouged out. The Arabs in their religion ,Sharia Law, cut off hands and feet. Jews bought and sold slaves, the Arabs, bought and sold slaves. The Jews denied women any property rights and forbid women to sue in court or even testify in their defense. The Arabs and Persian treat women badly , by following the example of the Jews. Only the Catholics opposed slavery and gave women property rights.

  • Judging others has nothing to do with telling the truth that all men are liars and going straight to hell. Only Jesus Christ so pleased the Father, Jesus came up out of the grave alive, and then appearing to all the Disciples, they believed, what before they could not even accept as possible. Now, if I say you will all die and lie in your graves forever, how is that a falsehood ? That is a Truth ,you are all doomed, no matter how good you think you are, you are all going to perish, Repent.

  • Only the Catholic Church, in all the World opposed Slavery , everyone, the Jews had slaves, the Arabs had Slaves, the Hindus had slaves, the British Crown had slaves. The Eastern Europeans had Slaves, the world over had slaves, except for one organization, the Catholic Church. So you are all liars and going straight to hell. Outside the Catholic Faith there is no Salvation, only Eternal Death , you go into the grave and never come out of the grave, Unless you repent and accept Jesus.

  • "CarmineFragione" why do you hide behind an anonymous unavailable page? Like a louse under t
