I should point out that Bill Hicks was NOT an atheist. He did believe in a god, but not one that identifies with a particular religion. I think you're all forgetting the line Hicks used, "You are the holy child of god, and god loves you no matter what you do".
Evolution is not science. Mutations do not order anything. Evolution is a false teaching. Atheists believe that fairy objects and forces order things.
Stand-Up comedy is the right approach towards religion. Religious opinions and ideas deserve just ridicule and laughter, untill superstituous morons hide in shame. Religion is poison, and creationism is the pinnacle of human stupidity. These medieval barbaric sick cults have dragged us down for too long. Its high time we end them before they end us.
There's no tangible evidence of god nor does science know everything about the dying brain so to me its a wash. But I love watching Bill Hicks videos.
@dex1391 Utter bullshit - most atheists were christians in the first place, as it has always had the weakest hold over its sheep. The other 2 major religions have strong adherence to their nuttiness of choice, whereas christians cant even agree among themselves about which "version" is right. Its stunning that in 2011 people are clinging to this brainwashing harder than ever. Test away.
@dex1391 and Im the alleged juvenile. That is just ridiculous. First, young people (whatever that means) cant be right. Now youre paranoid im actually masquerading as one of these 'kids'. Youre looking at the ages of these "kids" and determining who is telling the truth.
Ill be semi-lame and ask which bible? Psalms 139 says he is omnipresent, meaning present everywhere. Ill go with that, its as true as any place hes not.
@dex1391 nooo?? really? :) Just like "most" of them will grow out of it, which again, evidence shows is not happening.
It cant get any more predictable, hence the inability of even christians to agree with one another. Ill say X, youll say Y, and you will even find christians, who will disagree with your answer.

@dex1391 Evidence for what? Lol. You do know I'm an Atheist correct? That means I don't believe in your god or any of the others. That being said. I'm making a NEGATIVE assertion in response to your POSITIVE assertion. So the burden of proof is on you since you are claiming to believe in these gods. That's as simple as it gets.
@dex1391 1. How said you should become an Atheist? I did simply because I didn't have a choice. I simply don't believe in any gods because there are no reason to. The same reason I don't believe in Santa Clause. 2. If you are interested in truth then I think you should convert. 3. This isn't a "debate technique". Lol. It's common sense. If you make a claim on something it is your god to provide evidence. If I tell you I'm 6 foot I must provide evidence. I can't ask you to provide evidence.

Actually no.... that's a misconception. What those surveys show is that atheists know more about non-Christian religions ... than Christians. It doesn't show that atheists know more about religion than those in that religion.

@ChinnuWoW with that line of thinking, then Christianity is not a belief is means you expouse the existance of a God and trust in His son Jesus - of course atheist is a belief. You believe there is no God, you can't prove it, but you believe it (likely because of lack of proof on the other side) - I'm am not knocking your belief, but your definition.
@grandpatarzan Atheists don't believe there is no god. They don't believe that there is a god. Atheism is the rejection of the belief in the claim that there is a god. Not a completely new claim that there is no god. It's a disbelief, not a belief. If atheism is a religion, then buddhists have 2 religions.
@mena654 CHRISTIANITY - The belief of a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him your his master so he can remove an evil force in your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Makes perfect sense
ATHEISM The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs. Makes Perfect sense ! :O

His prejudice is amazing. I think he should slam Islam equally. Why doesn't he do it? Easy...Islam will not stand for it. Christians put up with it...why?
@the0world0sucks Bill Hicks died in 1994 before Islam was part of your national conscious. The Bush he refers to is the senior of the two. Had he still been around, I'm sure he would have slammed Islam, and junior just as hard.
It's kind of curious that most hard-line christians I know are pro-war, pro-gun, pro-death penalty. Seems to be a bit at odds with the teachings of Jesus.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, I don't think so. The historical evidence shows quite plainly He was not powerless. But if thinking He was simply a mortal man is a more likely scenario to you, then run with it.
'find salvation through me or not at all' is an ultimatum.
Issuing punitive ultimatums is a terrorist tactic.
It doesn't surprise me that religion appeals most to people who seem to be missing the sort of deep empathy that makes premeditated murder unthinkable. They also seem to lack the intellectual capacity to realize that it isn't a terribly punitive measure since the person you're trying to punish is left unable to realize they're being punished. As if god needs their permission.
Do you think the elected politicians who espouse this creationism clap-trap believe it themselves? I truly think they are complete sociopaths who would do and say anything for political power. How is it that none of the US politicians, at least the ones I know of, state they are atheists or even agnostic. Statistically it just doesn't make any sense.
They're lying because they have to. Religious people consistently report they will not vote for an atheist. And they mean it too. The thing is, if someone is cowardly enough to endorse a dictator they believe is threatening them, or morally indolent enough to think a jealous god is worthy of respect, or inane enough to miss what nonsense their dogma speaks--if someone meets all of those qualifications, do we really want them to be doing anything besides exploring their imaginary fantasy kingdom?
Double Standard: political correctness requires that every society tolerates at least one religious or ethnic scapegoat that can be blasphemed; ridicled...even openly hated...conservative christians are that group in our society...You will recall in the past it was Blacks, Jews, Gays, and foreign "heathen" in general, these of course now are considered "off limits" and it the height of bad taste to make light of their strange manners or beliefs by those "enlighted ones" who decide such matters
I don't remember blacks or gays causing anything like the trouble that conservative christians caused in history. Blacks were enlsaved and have every right to be angry, gays have been persecuted and tortured, which I am not too sure is happening at the moment to Christians. The anger that some people have for the church is some part at least justified based on its track record on persecution and murder. Why do Christians think they should be off limits for criticism?
"strange manners or beliefs"?! christians have a lot of power, I think it will take w while till their "sufferings" will have reached those of the Jews or gays or blacks. You will notice though that the "ridicule" in this particular clip is directed at the religion itself rather than at the people who follow it. You will also notice that it was mainly Christians who where responsible for that hatred towards minorities. SO I would say they're finally getting what they deserve
The only thing I always find to be odd is that it's usually christianity 9 out of 10 times that is criticized ? Out of all the know religions , it seems that it gets singled out the most . Not judaism , buddhism , hindus , islam ( only the extremists ) , nor satanist , etc ......... Why is christianity so hated ? christianity doesn't force it's belief system on people any more or less than any other religions do . Just a thought .
Because the only comedians that can make jokes about religion without being executed do so in the West, where their home countries label themselves "Christian".
You're right to a degree but here in the West Christianity still dominates and so is the "local and familiar face of Religion". Living in countries where we still cling to free speech it's our privilege if not duty to mock these silly cults.
As an equal-opportunities Atheist I regard all Religions with a similar contempt - but as I was raised as a Catholic by very devout parents, Christianity is where I have the first hand exposure to a set of ludicrous beliefs and blatant lies.
@intruder313 If they would put more emphasis on the importance of ultimate love for one another, we probably wouldn't look down on them so much. Shame, shame.
well, we humans r always improving there r ups and downs but overall its up, atheism is overall up. in the past people were executed for being atheist, now some countries in the world r almost all atheist.
yea, am seeing alot more people, stop believing in crapy stories they read, i love it how more people are now believing more in their selves than in an all powerfull homo guy.
ohhh God. I pity people like you. Wasting your life on something that Isent even there. I hope the best for you and that one day you open your eyes to science. And it can happen because this is coming from a former chrisitan. By the way , its people like you that keep people away from chrisitanity. Dont use a message of fear.
I pity people like you. All science can do is prolong life. That's it. People working together though . . . that can offer much more than science can ever do.
Having the previous sentences being a foundation for my following thought, I ask you sincerely:
If we were to implement an atheistic mindset onto everyone in the world, how do you suppose we get everyone in the world to get along well enough for the human race to devote their lives to science?
"how do you suppose we get everyone in the world to devote their lives to science"
the "well enough" is to admit that no singular person is superior to the next in this event people don't fight and without fighting we make peace and peace is pretty good if you ask me. plus if we didn't have science you wouldn't be typing that message science is applied to alot of things in life so don't go running your mouth off everytime someone doesn't believe in the invsible man in the sky.
the "well enough" is to admit that no singular person is superior to the next in this event people don't fight and without fighting we make peace and peace is pretty good if you ask me."
Easier said than done. Go ask the drug runners in South America, the big top CEOs who probably participate in underground sex trades, the drug dealers in the city if they believe in God -- they would probably laugh in your face, say no, and than some, most likely the drug runners, would probably kill you.
"do you realize that engineering is using technical and scientific knowledge together?"
Yes and get to your point or don't respond to me.
"and do you realize that not only have you never seen god there is no evidence to support your claim that he exists?"
There is plenty of evidence, but no proof to support my claim. Here is my strongest evidence -- there is evil in the world. Lot's of evil in this world, and if you think that the greatest evil is religion, well than I pity you.
engineers actually do things you know like make houses and technology you know what engineers should be doing.
i don't think religion is evil i simply think that there isn't an invisble person that created a 65 million year old planet and said that its 6000 years old even though we have gone through geological studies. i also don't believe that the world is flat and if a religous person drinks poison they will survive.
"engineers actually do things you know like make houses and technology you know what engineers should be doing."
You know engineers could be accomplishing much more if they taught everyone how to be an engineer -- getting ideas from all over the place -- considering they aren't the smartest of the bunch.
I remember engineers building a handicapped bathroom on the top floor of a school -- with no elevator to get to the top floor -- 6 years of education and that's what they have to show for it?
thats not all engineers. and if you think engineers are bad than try living without an engineers work so no houses,tents,tv,computers,laptops,tables,water filters,etc. i garuntee that would wouldn't survive so i suggest you think about what say first.
" . . . engineers are bad than try living without an engineers work so no houses,tents,tv,computers,laptops,tables,water filters,etc. i garuntee that would wouldn't survive so i suggest you think about what say first."
Considering I am going to school (only my first year though) to become an engineer I don't really care to respond to everything you just said.
Two, my brother, becoming a priest built his own computer and laptop -- so you don't need an engineer for that . . .
I think engineering is great and it's fascinating but let me pose this question for you . . .
What's the use of having engineers build all these fancy cars and homes when in the future humans won't have the money to buy them?
After that question, answer me this. What's the point of buying all those materials when the truth of reality is that all people want is to have ecstatic experiences shared with people that they love -- as opposed to owning a surplus of matter?
why wouldn't people have the money to buy them? because their throwing away their money to the church where they use it to build their multi million dollar mansions?
not all people what is ecstatic experiences they might want enjoyment like video games or movies.you will also want materials like telescopes to discover more or books to hear different perspectives in other words knowledge. many people can live by themselves perfectly fine and still have a bunch of materials.
"many people can live by themselves perfectly fine and still have a bunch of materials."
Yes many people can, until they start cryptically worshiping each idol as a God. It's possible for an item or object be treated as an idol and worshiped by an individual without the individual even knowing it.
Don't believe me -- fine. That would be your loss not mine.
"why wouldn't people have the money to buy them? because their throwing away their money to the church where they use it to build their multi million dollar mansions?"
I believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and I was technically homeless for a month, always moving from rental home/apartment to another rental home/apartment. It would be a greatly wrong assumption to think everyone who is faithful is greedy and luxurious items.
i didn't say that everyone who is faithful is greedy or some sort of product from a luxurious company. its just that the church is sucking out the money from the poor and gullable.
Not necessary true. Yes there are corrupt churches -- just as there are corrupt governments, corrupt courts, corrupt schools, corrupt police officers, corrupt families etc.
I went on a mission trip for a summer remodeling homes for the less fortunate in Kentucky. The family I helped wasn't even religious. But we help put in a new floor and started to remodel his wall -- the next set of people were going to finish it.
Does that sound like corruption to you, or does that sound like kindness?
i'm not talking about kindness or corruption.and what do you mean not necessarily true bush is a religous person and stated that and why do you change the subject so much???? you even forgot my statement about if you were religous or not.STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT.
I'm not changing the subject, I'm destorying your arguments.
If a serial killer claims he is a the Son of God, I won't believe it. I would figure that:
A) He is lying and just making a profound claim to substantiate his actions
B) He truly believes what he is saying -- but is just highly misguided
In the case of George Bush, he claims he is a Christian, but I do not necessary believe it. For same reasons I mentioned above (look up at letter A and letter B).
destroying my arguments? wow you changed the subject from engineering to this if you ask me thats a big change. so you think that bush isn't christian but for some reason makes all these statements as if he were?
Fuck this makes me laugh

@mena654 atheism is not a belief. It means you deny the existance of a god. It doesn't necessarily mean you believe in the big bang theory.
ChinnuWoW 1 year ago
@ChinnuWoW with that line of thinking, then Christianity is not a belief is means you expouse the existance of a God and trust in His son Jesus - of course atheist is a belief. You believe there is no God, you can't prove it, but you believe it (likely because of lack of proof on the other side) - I'm am not knocking your belief, but your definition.

@grandpatarzan Atheists don't believe there is no god. They don't believe that there is a god. Atheism is the rejection of the belief in the claim that there is a god. Not a completely new claim that there is no god. It's a disbelief, not a belief. If atheism is a religion, then buddhists have 2 religions.

@mena654 CHRISTIANITY - The belief of a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him your his master so he can remove an evil force in your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

'find salvation through me or not at all' is an ultimatum.
Issuing punitive ultimatums is a terrorist tactic.
It doesn't surprise me that religion appeals most to people who seem to be missing the sort of deep empathy that makes premeditated murder unthinkable. They also seem to lack the intellectual capacity to realize that it isn't a terribly punitive measure since the person you're trying to punish is left unable to realize they're being punished. As if god needs their permission.

Do you think the elected politicians who espouse this creationism clap-trap believe it themselves? I truly think they are complete sociopaths who would do and say anything for political power. How is it that none of the US politicians, at least the ones I know of, state they are atheists or even agnostic. Statistically it just doesn't make any sense.
mrsthursday 2 years ago 8
They're lying because they have to. Religious people consistently report they will not vote for an atheist. And they mean it too. The thing is, if someone is cowardly enough to endorse a dictator they believe is threatening them, or morally indolent enough to think a jealous god is worthy of respect, or inane enough to miss what nonsense their dogma speaks--if someone meets all of those qualifications, do we really want them to be doing anything besides exploring their imaginary fantasy kingdom?

Double Standard: political correctness requires that every society tolerates at least one religious or ethnic scapegoat that can be blasphemed; ridicled...even openly hated...conservative christians are that group in our society...You will recall in the past it was Blacks, Jews, Gays, and foreign "heathen" in general, these of course now are considered "off limits" and it the height of bad taste to make light of their strange manners or beliefs by those "enlighted ones" who decide such matters

I don't remember blacks or gays causing anything like the trouble that conservative christians caused in history. Blacks were enlsaved and have every right to be angry, gays have been persecuted and tortured, which I am not too sure is happening at the moment to Christians. The anger that some people have for the church is some part at least justified based on its track record on persecution and murder. Why do Christians think they should be off limits for criticism?
richiebellis123 2 years ago 3
"strange manners or beliefs"?! christians have a lot of power, I think it will take w while till their "sufferings" will have reached those of the Jews or gays or blacks. You will notice though that the "ridicule" in this particular clip is directed at the religion itself rather than at the people who follow it. You will also notice that it was mainly Christians who where responsible for that hatred towards minorities. SO I would say they're finally getting what they deserve

Not judaism , buddhism , hindus , islam ( only the extremists ) , nor satanist , etc ......... Why is christianity so hated ? christianity doesn't force it's belief system on people any more or less than any other religions do . Just a thought .

You're right to a degree but here in the West Christianity still dominates and so is the "local and familiar face of Religion". Living in countries where we still cling to free speech it's our privilege if not duty to mock these silly cults.
As an equal-opportunities Atheist I regard all Religions with a similar contempt - but as I was raised as a Catholic by very devout parents, Christianity is where I have the first hand exposure to a set of ludicrous beliefs and blatant lies.

God doesn't need men to hurt you for mocking him. He will judge you fairly. God isn't the problem. You're the problem.
Christ is coming back in great glory and power. He doesn't need an uzzi. He has your denial of his power to judge you by. It's your fault too.
You make fun of the cross, but you need it.
Without it, you join those infidels who see the gates of hell. You'll need the cross, but it's gone.

the "well enough" is to admit that no singular person is superior to the next in this event people don't fight and without fighting we make peace and peace is pretty good if you ask me. plus if we didn't have science you wouldn't be typing that message science is applied to alot of things in life so don't go running your mouth off everytime someone doesn't believe in the invsible man in the sky.

Easier said than done.

I don't believe in the "invisible man in the sky" and most Christians I know don't either. To put a face on God is madness.

There is plenty of evidence, but no proof to support my claim. Here is my strongest evidence -- there is evil in the world. Lot's of evil in this world, and if you think that the greatest evil is religion, well than I pity you.

engineers actually do things you know like make houses and technology you know what engineers should be doing.
i don't think religion is evil i simply think that there isn't an invisble person that created a 65 million year old planet and said that its 6000 years old even though we have gone through geological studies. i also don't believe that the world is flat and if a religous person drinks poison they will survive.
XxcybershinobixX 3 years ago
"engineers actually do things you know like make houses and technology you know what engineers should be doing."
You know engineers could be accomplishing much more if they taught everyone how to be an engineer -- getting ideas from all over the place -- considering they aren't the smartest of the bunch.
I remember engineers building a handicapped bathroom on the top floor of a school -- with no elevator to get to the top floor -- 6 years of education and that's what they have to show for it?

I think engineering is great and it's fascinating but let me pose this question for you . . .
What's the use of having engineers build all these fancy cars and homes when in the future humans won't have the money to buy them?
After that question, answer me this. What's the point of buying all those materials when the truth of reality is that all people want is to have ecstatic experiences shared with people that they love -- as opposed to owning a surplus of matter?
joe187yo 3 years ago
why wouldn't people have the money to buy them? because their throwing away their money to the church where they use it to build their multi million dollar mansions?
not all people what is ecstatic experiences they might want enjoyment like video games or movies.you will also want materials like telescopes to discover more or books to hear different perspectives in other words knowledge. many people can live by themselves perfectly fine and still have a bunch of materials.
XxcybershinobixX 3 years ago
"many people can live by themselves perfectly fine and still have a bunch of materials."
Yes many people can, until they start cryptically worshiping each idol as a God. It's possible for an item or object be treated as an idol and worshiped by an individual without the individual even knowing it.
Don't believe me -- fine. That would be your loss not mine.
joe187yo 3 years ago
if people choose to idolize their materials thats fine buti'm pretty sure if he started bowing down to it and praying to it he'd know something.

I believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and I was technically homeless for a month, always moving from rental home/apartment to another rental home/apartment. It would be a greatly wrong assumption to think everyone who is faithful is greedy and luxurious items.
joe187yo 3 years ago
i didn't say that everyone who is faithful is greedy or some sort of product from a luxurious company. its just that the church is sucking out the money from the poor and gullable.

Not necessary true. Yes there are corrupt churches -- just as there are corrupt governments, corrupt courts, corrupt schools, corrupt police officers, corrupt families etc.
I went on a mission trip for a summer remodeling homes for the less fortunate in Kentucky. The family I helped wasn't even religious. But we help put in a new floor and started to remodel his wall -- the next set of people were going to finish it.
Does that sound like corruption to you, or does that sound like kindness?
joe187yo 3 years ago
i'm not talking about kindness or corruption.and what do you mean not necessarily true bush is a religous person and stated that and why do you change the subject so much???? you even forgot my statement about if you were religous or not.STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT.
XxcybershinobixX 3 years ago
"STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT."
I'm not changing the subject, I'm destorying your arguments.
If a serial killer claims he is a the Son of God, I won't believe it. I would figure that:
A) He is lying and just making a profound claim to substantiate his actions
B) He truly believes what he is saying -- but is just highly misguided
In the case of George Bush, he claims he is a Christian, but I do not necessary believe it. For same reasons I mentioned above (look up at letter A and letter B).
joe187yo 3 years ago

I am simply pointing out the fact that he could be lying, or he could think he is Christian but has been highly misguided to understand Jesus' words.
I am also going to state for the record, that he may indeed be a Christian and I am not one to judge his deeds.
You have to understand that some people lie about who they are, and sometimes those very people actually believe their lie.
