God love you pll!
I do not get richard dawkins views, he says parents should give children the opportunity to choose their religion. Dwakins supports gay marriage,the children adopted by gay parents do not have a choice. Its unfair to them, i do not hear dawkins talking about that. A deluded man writing about Delusion.
@kassop Well, likewise, children adopted by heterosexual couples had no choice in the matter either, which seems unfair to those children, so what's your point?
@lanfranco2941 Oh my, your more stupid than i thought, your are saying gay parents are the same as heterosexual couples adopting? you are sick in the head you have no morals no matter what every child needs a man and a woman as parents. Its selfish and unfair to the child they are humans not a product.
@kassop So I suppose you also believe that single parents should have their children taken away from them and given to heterosexual couples. I would have to counter your argument and tell you that you're the one who is psychologically ill. You're trying to tell me that nature has bred human beings so that gender, not character, determines what sort of parent a person will be and that only a man and a woman can take care of a child.
@kassop Also, I agree, children are not commodities. Children are human beings, deserving of love and respect, something I'm sure a homosexual couple can provide just as well as a heterosexual one, because, after all, they're human too, are they not?
@lanfranco2941 The problem is that they have that lifestyle they live, but don`t try to emulate heterosexual life style by adopting children. they are no less human than anyone else but just don`t bring children into it.
@kassop Hold on, I need clarification. What 'lifestyle' are you talking about? I'm sure that not every heterosexual couple in the world has the same lifestyle as the next, as evidenced by differences due to culture, heritage, tradition, nationality, region of upbringing, religion, values taught by parents, etc... So when you say 'heterosexual lifestyle,' what exactly are you talking about?
@kassop Also, why can't society bring children into the discussion of allowing a homosexual couple to enjoy the right to the pursuit of happiness? I am a proponent of small government. I do not know where you are from, but I adhere to the ideas of the enlightenment, the rights of man, the bill of rights, and the U.S. constitution. Therefore, in this case, I'd have to argue that it is the duty of government to protect that right against liberty saboteurs such as yourself.
@lanfranco2941 Homosexual now and incest next when does this stop? so called liberty with no ethics. You are blinded with immoral values, clearly you do not believe in God. This world is forgeting about our lord Jesus Christ a their peril.
@kassop You didn't answer either of my questions and instead decided to summon up a what if scenario instead of addressing the actual issue. Homosexuality is nothing like incest, therefore, there is no comparison. America was founded on principles developed by the western world that would protect the world from blind, religious warriors such as yourself who would prefer to kill in the name of God rather than rebel and defend the love that may exist between a homosexual couple.
@lanfranco2941 I think you are very confused and lost, you have no idea what morals are then again you would not know because you fail to acknowledge wisdom, only foolishness . You lack righteousness , and i do not preach war just the lawand love of God and on what moral grounds can you say homosexuality is not as bad as incest? who are you to dictate? when you go againts The law of the bible in which you do not believe in. People like you are selfish imoral, ungreateful and hypocritical.
@kassop I was born of catholic parents. I've studied the bible all of my life. If I were to truly follow its laws, I would have already killed about three quarters of the people I know by order of the Lord almighty, He who created all creatures, humans in his image, who will show his fury against all enemies in the last days of the earth, the loving, furious, forgiving, and highly jealous God almighty. If you ask anyone I know, they'll describe me the exact opposite of how you just did.
@kassop I defend the homosexual, not become I am so, but because I wouldn't want them to suffer injustice. I defend the non-believers, not because I am so, but because I wouldn't want them to suffer injustice. Like-wise, I defend the believers, not because I am so, but because I wouldn't want them to suffer injustice. People should have the freedom to live his or her life the way that person wants to, not the way people of a certain religion believe they should...
@kassop ...As long as the actions of those people do not damage the lives of others, even if those actions fuck up their respective lives. If the world were left to the likes of you, the world would not be a loving, caring place, it would instead be a despotic world ruled by fear and oppression. Unfortunately for you, I have no intent of living in that kind of world, and so don't many others like me. And if you can't understand the idea of liberty, than I'm sorry, go back to your dark ages.
@kassop I believe, at least according to what I was taught and what the bible preaches, that Jesus preached love not war, which is something that people like you have forgotten or at the least, chosen to ignore. And, out of curiosity, do you accept the fact of evolution? Now, unless you choose to answer any of my aforementioned questions, this conversation is over.
@kassop I'm almost certain Imhotep once said that the power of Ra would one day be ridiculed. Why the hell do you think Christianity will be any different? Christianity will die out, and some other shite will replace it, there will always be Atheists, grow up, deal with, get on with your life.
@kassop - Please keep your bigotry to yourself, you scumbag.
Gays and lesbians are great people and are much better people than most christians.
They don't harbor hatred towards others in the guise of self-righteousness.
christians are overwhelmingly immoral and deluded people with no real sense of morality and they should feel guilt and shame about the legacy of death, destruction, and carnage that their filthy and vulgar beliefs have bestowed upon humanity.
@kassop - People like you, who are so stupid and ignorant that they harbor hatred towards an entire segment of the human population, are the greatest threat to children and should be keep away from them.
@TheAnthony8650 Me stupid? really ? i have no idea what you are talking about. People like you are selfish, ungreatfull and ignorant and also foolish believing there is no God. People like you pretend to be happy but really deep down your heart you hate youself. And your life style is the biggest threat to children. So before you open you smelly mouth and talk alot of shit think twice.
@kassop That really made me laugh, thanks for that mate, made an average day better. Although it does worry me that our race isn't hunting down and lynching people as idiotic as yourself.
@TheHatCollection I can not believe how stupid you are i got me in tears laughing, you such a confused idiot. And you are calling me a twat you sodomite.
@kassop You call others stupid when your sentences themselves lack structure? The one reason I respect Dawkins is that he actually cares enough to try and help people like you. Personally I'd leave you to rot. And before you ask, I am myself a Christian, but still you make me shudder to think of what has become of both our faith and race. "Love thy neighbor" becomes an impossible demand with imbeciles such as yourself.
@TheHatCollection You are a christian that agrees with a man that clearly says there is no God? thank you for showing me how ignorant and blinded you are. You are a goat. you are more confused than i thought , how dare you even question me, dont let me use words to insult you i will regret, idiot. And you are even a homosexual. i will beat the atheist out of you, fool.
@kassop - Whether "god" exists or not doesn't change the fact that you are a disgusting bigot.
Human garbage like you are the worst in our society.
Being gay is not a "lifestyle" any more than race or sex is.
Religion is a lifestyle and a very poor one at that since it makes otherwise moral and intelligent people say and do the most stupid and immoral things. You are proof of this.
Others agree that you are an idiot. Think twice before typing bigoted comments on YouTube, you scum.
@TheAnthony8650 You make me laugh trying to impress your self, you have not a clue what your are talking about, you can not deafeat me no one can deafeat the children of God. Try it and you will suffer beyond anything you can imagine, you are spiritauly uneducated, fool.
First: Religions such as his built those schools and taught those children because in their time the church was the only organization powerful enough to do so.
Second: Their motives were sinister because they only taught these children in order to attempt to indoctrinate more people to their cause, therefore making the church more powerful.
I'm from Ireland and I go to an all-girls Catholic school. On some lessons we have to stand up and say a prayer. I stand but I don't say any prayers, and no one complains about me. But it's still stupid. Especially when half of my class are atheists and they pray "just to be polite" wtf?
All points of view are not equally valid and the sooner we stop pretending they are, the better. Science is based on evidence - religion is based on superstition.
If social divide is the concenr reharding faith schools then they need to look at schools in general because they all cause divide. You have rich kids grouped in private schools, poor kids in inner city state schools, smart kids in grammar schools, and general catchment areas that keep kids mingling in their boroughs.
@konohanominato, well this has really been a very unproductive interaction. And lol you dispute what I say, claim I make a random insult which really isn't and then say you give me this one as if you conceded anything? Whatever. Look save your advice for yourself. And god bless you.
"We are the way we are." What progress has ever been made with that attitude? It's the very opposition of the acceptance of such a claim that drives us to CHANGE in the pursuit for a better world. When war breaks out, do we simply accept "we are the way we are"? No, we find a way to change in the pursuit for peace.
Richard Dawkins is a gift to Christians. Not only has applying his brilliant mind to religion helped bring focus that can help Christians strengthen their faith, but he is a stunning example of the blind scientist, so smart yet unable to see the obvious. The man right and left refers to good and bad. He gets heated up and emotional, in his unique educated reserved way, all of which demonstrate his internal faith.
@konohanominato To answer your question, there are many different types of scientists and some may well recognize they have something that they can't explain, perhaps even consider it faith. To respond to your contention, that is false, there is a correlation between faith and emotion in Dawkins precisely as I said - he gets emotional on matters that can be seen to represent inner morals and/or faith. As to your pompous, insulting and phony advice, you can swallow it yourself.
@cmottes ?? when scientist have something that they cant explain, they attempt to explain it with a hypothesis. plus i never said anything about moral and do not understand why you used both of them as if they were synonymous in the situation.
the advice wasn't phony. by bull shit i meant your comment or rather the annoying way you stated your opinion in the comment. but thanks for trying to use my own tactic against me, you get a B+ for effort....
@konohanominato As far as your question and example of a scientist, I'm just trying to explain my view that I do believe even an outstanding scientist like Dawkins can be blind to some very simple things even in their very own beliefs. Dr. John Lennox has made a similar point. I'm just saying the many times Dawkins gets riled up over moral issues, to me that demonstrates an inner morality which I believe comes from God. I apologize if I responded harshly but its not "bs."
@konohanominato The straight-forward way I stated my view may be "asinine" to you, but that's because of the limited way you choose to see things. Actually, if your statement were true (which it's not) there would be no Christians in China (though there are millions) no children of the kkk would have resisted their parents (though they recognized their parents' immorality and did) and Richard Dawkins would be a fundamentalist since his parents were.
@cmottes it wasn't straight-forward. it was either sarcastic or a backhanded compliment. thanks for throwing in that random insult and I'm being straight-forward but you probably wont think so because of the limited way you choose to view things(see....)
and yeah obviously not only the people, but your environment can affect your morals. the point i was making was that people don't have inner morality, doesn't that apply to law?
@cmottes ima go ahead and gives this one to you cuz after this it won't be about whose correct but about who has the last word so go ahead you can have this onecuz in the end it won't matter whose correct, because its youtube. so yeah, next time pleeeaaassseee be more straight-foreward.
I agree that you should learn of other religions and choose your life and parents should not shape your life but you what I believe there is a kind god who does love you and welcomes you and who is ulimate in power and fogives you for the bad acts u commit and as along as u thank this god and ur a good person u will receive ur passage to heaven
@mojoswoptopz That's offensive to people who actually have mental illnesses. Someone with schizophrenia, bipolar, depression or paranoia have an excuse - Christians, Muslims, Jews and Hindus do not.
@IKillBabyKittensLOL Religion IS a mental illness. It's a dangerous delusion with millions of followers and has proven dangerous time and time again. For a example the crusades, salem witch trials, spanish inquisition, genocide of native americans, muslim jihad, muslim discrimination of women, 9/11. If someone believes that magic super man made you and if you don't believe in it you suffer forever you would call them crazy. If millions believe it it's called religion.
@mojoswoptopz Not exactly. Religion is symbol of our (whole humankind) mental primitivnes. Problem of our kind is simple - our science was too fast, faster then our mentality... which mean, we are only fiercious irrational apes with kalashnikovs. :(
@ACCSESS247 I agree with you until you claim we should close all religious schools. In my experience, all of the religious schools are PRIVATE. I agree all religious and political beliefs should be 100% removed from public schools. However, if someone decides, freely, to send their child to a private religious school I have absolutely no problem with their decision. Just as I have no problem NOT sending my children to that private religious school, I will send them elsewhere.
@apstenzel07 Religious schools in the UK are private. However, they're allowed to apply for funding from the government, as they can classify themselves as charities. It's a ridiculous loop hole. That aside, I completely agree with your fundamental point.
@woohootrainiscoming Ah, I did not know that, thank you for pointing that out. That changes the direction of my point and I agree with you completely.
@ACCSESS247 meh, i'd love that, but stick to reality, religion is the hardest virus to get rid off, what we, as intelligent freethinking individuals, should aim at this point, is to do what professor Dawkins stated: kids should be taught ABOUT religion, not to be educated IN a religion and beign so, because of their parents belief system.
@BlackDahliaMurder22 mmm oh sorry yea im wrong,the law just came out of nowhere,actually it evolved from nothing,im you can find all basic laws originate from scripture and church doctrine,look it up,or you can pull a dawkins and sit their waffle on with opinions...lol
@goggloski Religion imposes irrational rules of good and bad behaviour. Religion divides people, and is a cause of conflict and war. The hierarchical structure of most religions is anti-democratic, and thus offends basic human rights. Religion doesn't give equal treatment to women and gay people, and thus offends basic human rights. Religion obstructs scientific research.
@ACCSESS247 Not sure what country your in but in my country if the school is privately owned then they can teach religion if they choose to, but I agree that religion should have no place in politics especially in terms of money
@thecrooksareinoffice I live in the UK where one third of state schools are faith schools despite the fact that two thirds of British people are against the state funding of faith schools.
i think both should be tought in schools... but the pupils or parants chooses which their child goes to... of even let them go to both and choose for themselves
i believe we should let children make their own decisions about religion when they are old enough to understand the whole concept but when they are at that tender age when they will believe anything with no full understanding we shouldn't enforce any religious view point on them let their minds be pure until they can make choices and think on their own
2:59 Dawkin is a moron, he assumes that life and reality is an accident, that is an opinion. How can a man be the judge of what is suppose to be and what truly is. The atheistic mind set is a very delusional way of going about reality. Nothing matters all is accidental. If you believe in a purpose you are crazy. So in his worldview your existence has no right to be, you just got lucky. Not point or purpose to ANYTHING. That makes sense...
@SunnyLovetts Where did you come up with "Not point or purpose to ANYTHING." just because he said your birth in to a religious family is accidental. Of course you have a purpose but it doesn't have to be some epic supernatural path set out by some all knowing all powerful magical being. Your purpose is to survive and reproduce, the same as all living creatures.
@SunnyLovetts i am a christain but we must question everything we must think for selves for example again bare in mind i am deep in my faith yet right now i must ask myself is there really a god? does this question scare u?
The problem aren't the people who are happy and give consent to any religious activity they participate in; the problem is that there are people who AREN'T happy and forced into doing such practices they do not want to be done, and WHY it EVEN HAPPENS.
So I don't see the relevance behind the explanation of the girl in the next few videos.
RICHARD DAWKINS - "OUR COLLECTIVE FREE TIME NEEDS TO SHIFT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO EDUCATION. WHETHER YOU'RE A YOUNG STUDENT OR FINISHED SCHOOL LONG AGO, GET OUT TO THE LIBRARY WHENEVER YOU CAN AND WORK HARD TO LEARN EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT THIS WORLD. EACH INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIETY WILL BENEFIT FROM BEING ABLE TO SOLVE MORE PROBLEMS AND MAKE BETTER DECISIONS. EDUCATION IS AN AMAZING DISCOVERY PROCESS THAT REPAYS US ENDLESSLY."
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.
Can one muslim answer me this please ? How come you can have Islamic schools in our country but no religion is allowed to do so in any I slamic country ?
Can u please leave us alone , go back to your beloved country , practice Islam and teach it to your children there.

there is a god, i used to be atheist, however i just watched jada fire, ava devine and carmen hayes fuck some guy blind just now and holy shit am i a believer.
1) Lunchtime discussion on Oxford on the 'Oxford Debate'
2) "Is God a Delusion?" lecture with panel response (unless Dawkins shows up to debate!)
Run, Dawkins, run!! Keep running from Dr. Craig, from debate. That's the best thing you can do to keep your followers.
In case you followers don't know, he's been avoiding Dr. Craig, for he... is afraid to death of debating him! LOL... Even an atheist publicly accused him of cowardice!
Excellent debate. I wish all believers and non believers will watch it with an objective mind! For the sake of society religion has no place in any school.
religion and sciene are not debatable..religion is supposed to be a PERSONAL belief about the unknown while science is the study of what we can PROVE as humans...however, what can be debated is what dawkins mostly focuses on and thats if religion is good for society...i dont believe people who are religious are crazy but they should keep there opinions to themselves and let there children make there own decisions about faith and life
@bobdacreepable Religion can't prove there is a creator and science can't prove there isn't! Science can't prove dark matter, singularity inflation or the origin and size of the universe. Religion has mysteries and science has theories same same. Let kids hear all the options.After all their not gonna decide anyway. They'll believe what Mom and Dad tell them to believe. Is it really any worse than teaching them that homosexuality and same sex marriage are normal human behaviors??
@singer4life5691 well put but my parents are catholic and i have no reliion, i didnt let my parents make my decision for me..my parents raised me by letting me make my own choices, they went to church every sunday and i didnt have to go if i didnt want to. i will do the same for my daughter, she will have the knowledge and option of religion but its completely up to her to decide whats beyond the stars
@bobdacreepable You can't prove that we crawled out of a muddy pool billions of years ago, you can't say that nothing turned into everything over billions of years and you can't even prove how birds developed wings. Wings are one of the greatest designed objects in our world. It is impossible for them to just 'appear', without being created.
Evolution is not science. Science can be proved with experiments and extensive studies. Evolution can not.
@Spl33nMaster Science is not experiments. Science is about making predictions about things that may be and control if these predictions are true or false. Religion inspite is about making predictions without the control
@HerrSerker I'm struggling to figure out what you're saying, sorry. Are you saying scientists make a prediction, then try to find evidence to show that their prediction is correct? If so, I agree with you.
@bobdacreepable I'm not attacking you, I'm just creating neutrality. When you know both complete sides of the story, then you can correctly decide which is the truth.
@Spl33nMaster that is, of course, assuming that it is possible to know any complete side of the story ^^
wich means that whether you are looking on any deist view or an atheist view, you need to know and understand, and be able to explain all about it.... that sounds kinda impossible in any of the cases...
@yeshuaissaviour Yeah, nobody will be able to find ALL the evidence for even just one side. [or at least, not in this generation]. But its interesting to find out evidence for creation, because we only hear about [the very little] evidence for evolution.
But my point is, you can't say X is better than Y, if you don't know what Y is like.
@Spl33nMaster true... but then you have just said nothing... and that puts you at a certain risk, because no matter what we believe, at least X or Y must be true (or any other letter in the scrabble).
I do believe in God as the Bible describes, but that is choice out from personnal experience, maybe your personnal experience is different, but I do hope you will choose soemthing over neutrality.
Religion, I consider it thus, is like a challenge for Humanity to overcome. Once Humanity as a whole is able to come together in peace and unbiased sensible thought will we be truly free.
that is your religion.... a faith you have organised into a system of thinking and now think is superior to your neighbours "religion"
if you accept the word "built" about humans, you must also accept there is a builder.... so I think you will agree that it's not jsut about believing in humanity ;)
I should have taken a direct quote... "Our brain is built to believe".
My response wasn't that of an expression of personal belief. Whether or not I think Humanity was built, and I don't, it does NOT mean I consider what I said my personal "religion", nor would it be superior in any way.
You can't just tell people that their lack of belief is ACTUALLY belief IN said lacking thereof! That's just absurd!
Many simply do not believe nor do they enforce this on anyone. That's it.
I think Dawkins is a pompous doofus but have yet to see someone to beat him in a debate.

You lack righteousness , and i do not preach war just the lawand love of God and on what moral grounds can you say homosexuality is not as bad as incest? who are you to dictate? when you go againts The law of the bible in which you do not believe in. People like you are selfish imoral, ungreateful and hypocritical.

@kassop I was born of catholic parents. I've studied the bible all of my life. If I were to truly follow its laws, I would have already killed about three quarters of the people I know by order of the Lord almighty, He who created all creatures, humans in his image, who will show his fury against all enemies in the last days of the earth, the loving, furious, forgiving, and highly jealous God almighty. If you ask anyone I know, they'll describe me the exact opposite of how you just did.

@kassop I defend the homosexual, not become I am so, but because I wouldn't want them to suffer injustice. I defend the non-believers, not because I am so, but because I wouldn't want them to suffer injustice. Like-wise, I defend the believers, not because I am so, but because I wouldn't want them to suffer injustice. People should have the freedom to live his or her life the way that person wants to, not the way people of a certain religion believe they should...

The priest's argument is invalid for two reasons:
First: Religions such as his built those schools and taught those children because in their time the church was the only organization powerful enough to do so.
Second: Their motives were sinister because they only taught these children in order to attempt to indoctrinate more people to their cause, therefore making the church more powerful.

Richard Dawkins is a gift to Christians. Not only has applying his brilliant mind to religion helped bring focus that can help Christians strengthen their faith, but he is a stunning example of the blind scientist, so smart yet unable to see the obvious. The man right and left refers to good and bad. He gets heated up and emotional, in his unique educated reserved way, all of which demonstrate his internal faith.
cmottes 1 month ago
@cmottes if you are willing to call any scientist that is irreligious a blind scientist, then what is the difference between him and any other?
faith(not belief) is belief while in the absence of evidence. there's no correlation between faith and emotion...

konohanominato 1 month ago
@konohanominato To answer your question, there are many different types of scientists and some may well recognize they have something that they can't explain, perhaps even consider it faith. To respond to your contention, that is false, there is a correlation between faith and emotion in Dawkins precisely as I said - he gets emotional on matters that can be seen to represent inner morals and/or faith. As to your pompous, insulting and phony advice, you can swallow it yourself.

I apologize if I responded harshly but its not "bs."

@konohanominato The straight-forward way I stated my view may be "asinine" to you, but that's because of the limited way you choose to see things. Actually, if your statement were true (which it's not) there would be no Christians in China (though there are millions) no children of the kkk would have resisted their parents (though they recognized their parents' immorality and did) and Richard Dawkins would be a fundamentalist since his parents were.

Just as I have no problem NOT sending my children to that private religious school, I will send them elsewhere.

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.

Believe in themselves. In Humanity...
Religion, I consider it thus, is like a challenge for Humanity to overcome. Once Humanity as a whole is able to come together in peace and unbiased sensible thought will we be truly free.

that is your religion.... a faith you have organised into a system of thinking and now think is superior to your neighbours "religion"
if you accept the word "built" about humans, you must also accept there is a builder.... so I think you will agree that it's not jsut about believing in humanity ;)
God bless

I should have taken a direct quote... "Our brain is built to believe".
My response wasn't that of an expression of personal belief. Whether or not I think Humanity was built, and I don't, it does NOT mean I consider what I said my personal "religion", nor would it be superior in any way.
You can't just tell people that their lack of belief is ACTUALLY belief IN said lacking thereof! That's just absurd!
Many simply do not believe nor do they enforce this on anyone. That's it.
