The Four Horsemen Discussion - Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens (2 of 2)

Thank you for uploading. I enjoyed watching the discussion. :O)

Apart from the great dialog in this video, I thoroughly enjoy watching Christopher go through a few glasses of Johnnie Walker Black and half a pack of cigs. The man really knew how to enjoy life.

One down -- three to go! LOLOLOL!

I love this discussion. As far as religion producing great works of art, I would like to have known how Botticelli, Da Vinci, Bach, etc actually felt about their patrons. You could make a book as long as the bible about da Vinci's issues with the church. Don't even start with the disgruntled, philandering, binge-drinking, absolute genius that was Johann Sebastian Bach...

Thanks very much for the Post :)

Hitchens was probably the most unreasonable and Harris probably the most reasonable. Very good discussion. Good to see these four together.

[JimmyCrlc]

Let me say first that Hitchens is the man. But I wish sometimes he would shut the fuck up and quit interrupting people! He always trails off, and then when someone else starts talking he talks over them. It's so annoying!

I agree with Christoper to some extend, the ability for atheist or scientist to complete reject someone belief, allows for one to accept the fact that he/she may be wrong and this is something that I would like to see more the world.

Excellent post.  Many thanks. Things for thinkers to ruminate on.

[Qorlaq]

Well, there can be no doubt after watching two hours of their pontification. These giants of atheism are are philosophical mice.

I do appreciate you posting this, though. I was glad to be able to hear their perspective and listen to them interact with each other.

@Qorlaq "These giants of atheism are are philosophical mice." Because...?

[Qorlaq]

@Stinukli

Not sure. Maybe they aren't good at abstract thought & reasoning, or maybe it's some sort of mental or emotional block that inhibits them thinking critically about this topic. I know it's not stupidity, though ignorance appears to factor in.

More compelling to me:

Why do so many atheists parrot their poorly reasoned arguments & ignorant claims?

Is there a connection between an atheist world view & deficient critical thinking about this?

If so, it seems to confirm Romans 1:18-32.

[VanDammesCokeDealer]

@Qorlaq Deficient critical thinking is relying on the Bible even after you've been shown that it is quite obviously written and conceived by man. You can't have an all-knowing, all-powerful creator who can't even keep the one source of man's knowledge about him free of contradictions and outright fabrications.

[platinumgrade]

@Qorlaq instead of name calling why don't you actually refute or discuss any of the claims in the discussion?

[PatchesRips]

@Qorlaq "Why do so many atheists parrot their poorly reasoned arguments & ignorant claims?"

I guess you can't see past that beam in thine own eye. Does the irony of whining about puking up tired old groundless arguments in one breath and then quoting a 1900-year-old passage of soothsaying in the next utterly escape you? :D

I really like this...but is it just me or don't these guys look like characters from the board game "Guess Who?"
