NEW atheism & 'the Dawkins delusion' A response by Adam Deen . Soas University 17th December 2009

[cerverg]

Yes the islam is the fastest growing religion and why? because of the muslim imigration to EU and US. They have 7-8 kids while the local have 1-2 or none. In 50 years EU will be a muslim state full of ignorants. The world is about to go in new dark age. The hope is far east Japan and China.... btw this guy made my day I haven't laughed that hard for long time...

[QuranTafseer]

the guy below is lost? Islam is growing faster than ever before go to CNN , bbc and even FOX news!

[HENJAM48]

@QuranTafseer Fox News et al, thrive on fear and bigotry. Fear sells better than Sex. When people don't live in fear of inquisition style Theocracies, they develop common sense. It happened with Christianity, it happened after WWII in Germany, It's happening right now in North Africa, and the Middle East.

Why aren't the Arab Nations leading the the Charge to help the people of Libya, Egypt and Tunisia? Cos they're AS Guilty, and they are Shit-Scared that their Regimes of Fear are next to go.

[QuranTafseer]

@HENJAM48 I agree with what you stated, lol which arab nations are left to deal with libya? Saudi which is a US puppet? or Jordan another Puppet? or Syria another puppet/secular regime? erm well i do agree that the Muslim armies need to MAN UP and help the libians regardless of what there puppet goverments do but the antagonist in this isssue are the remaning "US backed dictators" in Jordon, Saudi... etc

[HENJAM48]

@QuranTafseer I think we agree my Friend. What shit's me is that People are suffering and the United Nations are Talking! Basically they plan to write a strongly worded letter. Russia & China, don't support action in case they want to abuse their own populations in the future.

If Only Libya had more than 2% of the world's oil the US and us Rag-Tag group called the "Allies" would be there in a heartbeat. All I can do is petition my government (Australia) Which I have done on a daily basis.

[QuranTafseer]

@HENJAM48 Take care my brother i'm glad you are actually doing your part by petitioning your goverment, inshallah you will be rewarded for your intention, lol people get the wrong impression of Islam and Muslims all islam teaches to be aware of God and give God and his creation their given rights and not to "sleep" and turn a blind eye to opression or suffering of any kind etc i won't be online much hence i will add your channel take care,

[QuranTafseer]

@HENJAM48 lol do ignore the typos sorry was in a bit of a rush : )

[StopSpamming1]

Jump to 5:44 to spare yourself the singing part.

Jump to 43:27 to spare yourself the rest. Total nonsense. No wonder people are laughing about these idiotic and unfounded claims. And no wonder Islam is shrinking as more and more Muslims realise that Islam of the 7th century does not fit into today's reality.

Science has NO opinion on any god or the super-natural.

Muslims are pro Big Bang and contra evolution without understanding either.

[BambaMuncher]

This guy is such a clown, pure comedy =)

[Britishfever456]

Islam continues to be the fastest growing religion in the so called educated "Western world" - Knowledge of science draws people to appreciate God and the Holy Qur'an.

[Batsuperspiderman]

pathetic



[mrx0066600]

man this speaker makes up so many weak arguments that it's embarrassing.

400 pages? really? You're going to make an argument for the page count of a book?

and then the argument that so many people believe in this bullshit known as religion, so then it must be true... so weak.

[5anthonys]

What's more dangerous: 1) An unshakable belief in an all-powerful creator of the Universe who convinces people that they are acting on divine orders by walking into marketplaces with bombs strapped to their hearts. 2) The Pope educating millions of people that condoms are bad because they encourage promiscuous sexual behaviour? 3) Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Dan Dennett speading the word that religion is essentially a very harmful pursuit?

[Imaginefree69]

@5anthonys "What's more dangerous: " Nicely said. Even the small fry, such as the televangelists, are much more harmful than the truth-tellers. When did Harris ever try to get pensioners to send their rent money to them so as to avoid the wrath of a sadistic tyrant? When did Hitchens ask old folks to send them the savings of their lifetimes, the inheritance of their children? (Those jet airplanes aren't cheap!) What university ever stole the income of the poor to erect luxurious buildings?

[5anthonys]

There is a minority of people for whom religion is actually harmful, the extremists. A good case can be made that decent, moderate people are, in a sense, paving the way and making it safe for the extremists because sensible middle of the road people teach children that faith is a virtue. That means believing in something without evidence. And there’s a minority of people that take that very seriously and they’ll say my Holy book tells me to go out and kill infidels and become a suicide bomber.

[Imaginefree69]

@5anthonys I would say that a bit differently. I observe that religion is actually harmful to most people, probably for all people. It is harmful to those who believe what is not true, and it is harmful for their children, mates, their co-workers, our educational systems, and of course to all who fall under their control. If Creationists succeed in replacing science with Bronze Age fairy tales in the classroom we ALL suffer. When foreign policy is decided by archaic myth we all suffer.

[5anthonys]

I agree with your statement. I was going a little deeper in trying to explain why religion is a negative force. That being, the 'sensible' middle-of-the-road, religious masses providing a smoke screen for the extremists to inculcate their hideous ideologies. For example, I don't think 9/11 would have happened if the Muslim masses weren't touting faith as a virtue in their millions.

[Imaginefree69]

@5anthonys

Yes, I wasn't really disagreeing with you, either.

Just reminding us that ALL religion is harmful,

so far as I can see.

You have more confidence than I

in the official version of 9/11,

but for sure Bush could not have attacked Iraq

without the mass hysteria of the 'sensible'

middle-of-the-road Christian masses across America.

[eloquenteducator]

People should think very critically and deeply about the claims of religion. Is religion the source of value in the world or is it our humanity and our connection with other human beings. Betrand Russell once famously said “most people would rather die than think and most people do"

[Imaginefree69]

Just look at the number of views on any video featuring Dawkins. You would not have seen that ten years ago. Religion is dwindling worldwide as education becomes universal. Primitive man thought that thunder was the shouting of gods, that lightning was the spears of gods, that the eclipse was god turning out the lights. As science explains more and more natural phenomena there are fewer and fewer dark corners of ignorance for god(s) to hide in. Education dissolves Religion.

[EdwardLittleWilly]

@Imaginefree69 That was beautiful

[TheLiquidFetus]

@Imaginefree69 Wow worded so perfectly

[oirambros147]

@Imaginefree69

contemporary science is man's contemporary religion

primitive man made that statement using their level of science at that time

our level of science may be higher than that of previous one but that was what the primitive man think while comparing his knowledge to his previous generations

who know what happen thousand years from now

education in any culture is socialization tool, a brainwash tool, nothing to do with the truth,

[Imaginefree69]

@oirambros147 Please learn to use a dictionary. "religion - noun - the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods" That does not in any way describe science. Science is the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. If you know of a better way to explore reality, please share it with us. Bronze-Age fairy tales just won't do it.

[oirambros147]

@Imaginefree69

that is definition of religion literally, no doubt about it

and to me the definition of science is " the belief in" systematic study

of the structure and behaviour

of the physical and natural world

through observation and experiment

what do you mean by reality?

[Imaginefree69]

@oirambros147 "to me the definition of science is " the belief in" " Why are you even saying this? Your personal opinion does not affect the actual, accepted, official definition of "science." If we are going to make up our own definitions (which, I admit, is common in religion), we have no common ground from which to communicate. Reality is that which actually exists, that which can be verified by reliable evidence. As opposed to, say, the talking animals of the Bible.

[MrAubery]

great video, long live intelligent design

[GBJ83]

what is the point of muslims. honestly

[SupermarketsRevil]

Don't believe in magical sky fairies.

THERE IS NO GOD SO STFU

[Zigiwy]

Wow, what nonsense. If this is good apologetics I can see why faith and credulity plays such a large role in religion xD

[meddy1]

@Zigiwy So why dont you address the points instead of just calling it nonsense- put it in context and rebut it.

[ainefairygoddess]

any theistic apologetics = logical fallacies, why don't you read the wikipedia article on fallacies...

[pinorek]

Wow, i have not seen so many logical fallacies on one place since long time

[sanileo]

good one there
