  • 119 God lovers clicked on this video. lol

  • @RumbleTouchDroid There is nothing wrong with being a *God lover* as long as you have the correct * definition* of *God* But there is something really wrong with being in love with something false, as pretty much every religion seems to do.

  • @neoman121 WHATCHU TALKIN BOUT WILLIS?

  • How long would it take evolutionary processes to create ovaries and testicles? A billion years? Then how did procreation occur for the evolutionary process to create ovaries and testicles?

  • @malithe00 You probably haven't read 'The Selfish Gene' Therefore have no concept of other forms of reproduction. You sound like a creationist. Get literate, read some books, then come back.

  • @malithe00 Well asexual reproduction doesn't need ovaries and testicles.

  • What is 8 inches long and dangles in front of an asshole?

    richard dawkins' tie. LOL

  • @malithe00- I think someone who is as intellectually gifted is Dawkins has a good chance of being well endowed too!

  • yah we got it going now and if isreal been livin on it that long and some one like obama says get off move out I would fight too, well what if the indians here in america said hey we want our country back too after all the indains been here thousand years longer than we have hell where we going to go! kind of dumb theology dont you think, they better leave isreal the hell alone remember what we gave them about 25years ago,the neutron bomb,they could wipe out the mid east in one day because of us

  • why are there only 218,552 views? Now that is crazy.

  • The truth is that religion isn't the sole problem in the world. We will still die, we will still fight over resources, and we will still kill others for resources, just like other animals. Figure it out, you geeks. You are just hating on religious people because 1. you are angry that you live a tough life and are going to die 2. you want their resources 3. you want to kill people and secure breeding rights and higher status, and who better to out than people who stand out, ie religous people

  • @Floodlezoot

    This makes absolutly no sense at all...

  • @Floodlezoot is that what you want? if not start thinking about what you would like to see happen.

  • U do not see christains killing people, or raping and or stoning woman in the streets, the new testament is one of pure peace, it even says when someone hits u, give them the other cheek!! he attacks the bible in an unfair way.

  • @Vordakis

    It says those things but that doesn't mean christians follow it. Why do we have a steady stream of killings of doctors suspected of performing abortions, a constant attack on women's rights, a constant attack of the Constitution and our free way of life, all by christians seeking to push their religion on the world, beginnng with making the USA a religious state. Not to mention that there are plenty of rapists and murderers who call themselves christians.

  • @shadowsheik8611 as they should, to preserve life, and punish those whom are foolish enough to get pregnant, without being able to raise them. Had abortion been condoned so long ago, there is a good chance u would not even be here to comment this. U single out christains as if they are the cause, history proves religion or not, mankind goes to war. its inevitable.if it were not religion, it would merely be revaluations of government law, which btw people also arr violent over.nice try tho.next?

  • @Vordakis You're inability to type proper English is tripping me up. Hmm, so if abortion wasn't condemned, I wouldn't be here? So, every woman everywhere would be having abortions left and right because why not? That's a pretty stupid statement. You began by singling out christians from other faiths as being better or, not as violent, and I was challenging your statement. I'm not even going to touch on your righteous murder of others, that's just pathetic and disgusting.

  • No insult, reason, or force can make me change my belief. People might think that's ignorant, but I believe standing up for who you are is most important in life.

  • @MadHornetSeries You are your enviorment. So should a nazi stand up for who he is? Change is a natrual law in life the more you learn the more you learn

  • @TheMidwestsk8ter Choice overrides knowledge, but choice is powered by knowledge. If there is knowledge that arises before you, it is fine if you want to change or stay. But it's better to stay with what you believe if it's been a part of your life that has been truely meaningful and enjoyable.

  • @MadHornetSeries Not at all. If you've been enjoying killing and raping women should you stick with it? Even if it makes you feel your life is "meaningfull"? Your arguement has to many holes. Any creature that isn't willing to change is litterally going agains't nature it self. We grow age and moutains degrade and become plains Change = life and progress. If someone dosen't want to change due to cultural pressures your litterally stopping your Intellectual growth.

  • @TheMidwestsk8ter I would pick something I enjoy and makes my life feel well and happy over intellegeince. Of course, you have at least a normal amount of intelligeince. Of course killing an raping is not good, but that's not our choice for whoever does that. You are making my statements have holes because you are thinking because my paragraph doesn't list it means I think it's right, but that's just not thinking sensibly.

  • @MadHornetSeries

    To be truly ignorant is to see your errors and refuse to correct them. So even if it were the complete truth that religion is the one destructive force in the world; if, for argument's sake, this were true and completely proven to be so and all the world's problems would vanish if religion was let go, you wouldn't let go of it and would knowingly allow the world to suffer just because you've already been doing it?

  • @shadowsheik8611 Most of the world's problems are caused by money and greed. There are some who use religion for good and for bad. But not all people of religion follow same behaviour. I agree Islam is threatening, but not a religions are. No, I don't want to hear "Crusades" and crap like that because at that time humanity needed to learn greatly, and with religion or not there still would have been conflict due to lack of information.

  • @MadHornetSeries

    ALL religions are detrimental to the world. But that wasn't what I was saying. I gave you a hypothetical situation and you didn't provide an answer.

  • @shadowsheik8611 I did provide an answer. Even if it was a misunderstood answer or wrong answer, all Q&A can be hypothetical as a question and conclusive for an answer. You might as well forget the last sentence you typed. I myself is not part of any cult of my religion, so I don't take it to extreme lengths.

  • @MadHornetSeries

    No, you didn't answer it at all. I gave you a hypothetical situation: if it was proven fact that religion was the singular cause of suffering in the world, would you give it up, or hold onto it simply because it's something you're use to doing? It's a simple proposal, circumventing it with babble about money and greed isn't at all addressing my question. In the situation I'm providing, only religion is the cause.

  • @shadowsheik8611 In your situation, let's make it so that elves dwarves and men unite to take a ring of power to Mordor.

  • Comment removed

  • @shadowsheik8611 I can see by Madhornetsearies good comment, that u are closed to anything regarding religion, so really, u can tell me, why are u here? surely a great atheists whom is so peaceful, would not waste his superior time on arguing, right?

  • Richard Dawkins riding a bicycle. I am fully erect.

  • @migimunz Why do you need to share this lol WTF LOL

  • Why doesn't he wear a helmet!? We can't affor to lose another!

  • monkeys

  • (look below) this is what happens when christians can't deal with being wrong. blah blah blah.

  • godisjesuschrist,com

  • @fisher99100 Hahaha dude your crazy

  • best of teacher's lost two fortune's from marrying wrong women, but the MAN SAID TO ME AGAIN, do you know everthing I said no! well that assume you know 75% of everything! do you think that GOD might live in the part you know nothing about he said, that got me thinking man I don't even know how to spell my name only in 3 languages and there like 10000 different tongues in the world! CRAP I though who am I to say GOD/JESUS does not exists That when I got unbrainwashed from the Darwinism.

  • @fisher99100 why dont you look the same way at the amount and persistence of other religions in the world huh? There are thousands of religions in this world, what makes you think yours is the right one?.. what? oh.. the bible you say? a hallucination-based personal experience? you are a joke, the mere fact that you preach about jesus christ is nothing but a geographical accident, were you born elsewhere you can bet your sorry immortal afterlife that you would believe in other god.

  • @fisher99100 Wow. They now let the loonies in the asylum use computers?

  • But any way the choice is your''s to go where ever you want, but i would say look at the news an what they say put me aside, look for your self ask your self they question I did before I can to Christ,A man ask me one time if I knew everything I said no I got 18 different occupation i can do,I am a slef made man of men I can drill an oil well /water well im a mechanic diesel/gas truck driver, carpenter,plumber can build a house,a trapper, a hunter,a fisher,drive dozer, Ive had the best of

  • your chidren will believe evolution just like we did, come on men step up to the plate and be men! I had to do the samee thing, Iook if this spirital life was not true dont you think for one minute that the president's of the world would says this is enough of this crap it not real at all, dont you think they would condem all spiritual movies of all kinds world wide,think men it has to be real because if it was not they would not be praying at all!! come on you got to be getting this by now.

  • So that being said do you really I mean really want to bet your life and the life to come! on a man like dawkins that hate GOD! And what about if THIS JESUS CHRIST is THE CREATOR COME IN THE FLESH OF A HUMAN like he said he did, and ransomed humanity back from this evil spirit called sin are satan! if we would only confess him an reject sin! DO YOU really want to bet you soul on dawkins he just a man like you and me, Do you really want to bet your children on this theory they learn it just like

  • and now we look even closer and we see the drop of water has atom's living with end that life so we can not see beyond the atoms into the spirit world because we dont know how but Albert did with his spirit he new there was a dimensions within dimension and if there is time space and matter then there is a traveling that one could do back and forth though it IF HE NEW THE WAY! just like gravity you can defy it if you knew how! that what Albert was saying the whole time but no one got then r now

  • than to try to believe that we came from a rock some 2billion yrs ago and we our just going to be recycled back to dirt and that all there is to this life. do you really want that stupid theory of evolution? when you really dont know about spirit world, LOOK Albert Einstein once said that every thing is not what it seems to be! he knew that when we took a closer look at some thing any thing take a drop of water, for instance it look plane enough but with magnified you see life an closer

  • I use 3rd grade grammer for you all because I know you all can under stand it. but for richtard darwinickin want to be! on top of page he still cant figure out where he came from! a rock or ?thinking mybe it was star dust that it! star dust ya! yah what a dumb teaching, dawkins bit into come from a rock you got to be kidding me, I would rather believe that JESUS Christ came to this earth some 2000 yrs ago and said he made us and told what to do before he comes back, to reinstate the planet

  • Comment removed

  • I did not say you came from a rock your richard darkwinnikian's said they came from a rock,are do you even know what you believe in COME ON MANALIVE, read the book instead of playing video games all day, and typing something you dont know nothing about,so let say it again,you believe that it rained on the for billion of yrs and that life form went from gue to the zoo to you an that what you teach.

  • @fisher99100 I'd disprove this, and even debate with you ...but I can't bring myself to do it with someone that uses such terrible grammar.

  • i challenge richard dawkins on this

  • so much faith-head scum... it's too much for my senses!

  • very shallow, coz religion = politics

  • At the end he could put that concept with evolution and the old Earth, but I will say he's absolutely right. Though he uses some propaganda, like saying these people are deluded before he exposes there delusion, a lot of what he has mentioned would make people of religion be baffled of the delusions by the catholic faith. I laughed when he talked about the Latin mumbling though. There is no precedence for most of the Catholic tradition: praying to Mary, a pope, etc.

  • @TheMasterOfTheFrets I would suggest reading his book of the same title. It's an amazing and mind stimulating read.

  • @SuperDrRockzo its a great book but a better one is Athiesim, the case against god.

  • @TheMasterOfTheFrets They believe in an invisible man and in a 6000 year old Earth. They are the definition of deluded.

  • Science rules

    

  • ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment or suffering. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology)

  • @Mogley52 "eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment." So basically: "I'm not taking it up the ass, I'm having a genitalic prostate check"

  • @Mogley52 ......but it is still eternal.....your basically saying instead of torment it's punishment......it's the damn same thing you moron and your basically saying that everyone including let's say little childern in africa will go to hell and be punished because.....what?there good or great people but the weren't lucky enough to hear about it sorry for you...No hell no I refuse to believe in something both so cruel and plane stupid that it's down right dangerous,read the bible

  • @Mogley52 An find out for yourself the truth of it's word an not the stuff your Baptist pastor tells you about the whole thing.

  • you say im delusional what about you! at least I believe in JESUS CHRIST as my creator, you believe you got made by water raining on the rocks for billions of yrs,now thats delusional and a great leap of faith I mite add to believe that, and what is even funnier is the theory was made up by 2 old men darwin an carl marxs that were not even scientist's now that's funny well it not really if you think about all the death them 2 men caused,darwickins is wrong I did not come from a rock, dumb idea:)

  • @fisher99100 thats your point of view. you believe in something with no solid evidence. evolution is a fact. not a bedtime story

  • @fisher99100 who ever said we came from rock ? idiot. Besides, you believe jesus christ is your creator ? it should be GOD moron, you can't even explain your own religion correctly.

    Darwin is not the founder of evolution, but of natural selection, which is not the same. Also, while it was only a "theory" at the time, it has already been proven by FACT, but in accordance to scientific protocol, it is still called "Theory of Evolution".

  • @fisher99100 you didnt comefromrock....youstill are rock stupid man..

  • @fisher99100 wow. you should be sterilized. 

  • @fisher99100 Karl Marx*, he's technically a scientist. Being a economic philosopher.

  • @Devialx10 not a very good one since communism is inherently faulty and cannot work as history has proven repeatedly.

  • @hitheresailor Haha like capitalism is any better. The Soviet Union actually pulled it off for a good long while. China is still going strong though.

  • @fisher99100 What is this? Who gave birth to this stupid, useless creature? KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!

  • hitler used to say: a lie, a hundred times repeated, inevitably becomes a truth.

  • Ahh yes. Religion=mass hysteria.

  • I'm an atheist at a Catholic university (oh the irony) and I love every minute of this video. I just want to note at how interesting and often disturbing how it is looking at religion from the inside as an "outsider". Religion and science can't go hand in hand, but reason can always be used. Science isn't out to disprove religion, and it's also not here to find proof. I have respect for any religious person that can intelligently explain the basis for his or her beliefs.

  • I love how catholics spend so much time praying to live longer and avoid heaven. Paradise must be a horrible place. lol.

  • @RomansPwnedJesus Haha I love your youtube name. Fuck that made my day man.

  • @RomansPwnedJesus lol i second that, name made me smile.

  • 09:09 turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time. Untested: Primordial ooze. Unproven: missink links( wherwe are all of them?) institution: our schools. Faith : in everything Dawkins claims. look at Miller's experiment.

  • 6:06 :D Dirty water won't cure baldness. Hair transplant would help though, but why would you trust something that isn't Jesus?...

  • @offwithurhead And 66 miracles? I feel Satan is working for them.

  • It is strange, some people are searching for a way to explain what they want to be true, while others are in search of what is true.

  • @DjCosmicRush Very true. Do you mind if I use that quote?

  • @olwerXL Sure, I feel flattered :)

  • @DjCosmicRush Well, it IS a good statement :)

  • I feel so much more intelligent than any of these fools who believe. I almost feel sorry for them.

  • @BasicallytoBasics Not intelligent enough to shut your mouth and control impulses! ;) I too may be "atheist" or something but I ignore all social relations to it, and stigmas. Your expressing yours loudly to make yourself feel more intelligent than... what was it again... oh yes the unintelligent! ;) remember im not intelligent enough to control my playful impulses either!

  • @DjCosmicRush I hardly think it was my 'impulses' that made me type that comment. I guess by your logic the comments should be disabled for all videos, because we all type based on our 'impulses'.

  • @BasicallytoBasics Logic? I'm sorry I don't understand! LOL. And don't be extremist. Just because you have impulses doesn't mean everyone else does. And sure you could argue that every move people make is just impulses otherwise they wouldn't have any drive to do anything but remember I'm only joking. Can you accept that? Or are you mad?

  • @DjCosmicRush I swear, your comments ARE impulses! You have no structure in what you're saying. It's just rubbish with you. First, I'm 'unintelligent', then I'm 'impulsive', then I'm an 'extremist', now YOU'RE 'joking'? You think YOU don't understand.

  • Atheists Wager == if got is evil there is no hope, if god is good and loving he will forgive me for not beliving in him because he did not show himself to science (2000 yo myths no count) and only gave me reasons to belive I was being lied to, conned and abused.

  • @cycophile That's not a wager. Wagers are for hucksters. What you are describing is called taking a stance.

  • @cycophile Please read this: wwwnairalandcom/nigeria/topic-­864092.64.html

  • If anything life and evolving organisms are the Intelligent Designers. We are us, here and we are intelligent (I think.) It wasnt god that evolved from a single cell organism and eventually into a human, it was that organism. Even if life is a one shot thing, or happens all over the universe the only thing that is certain is that LIFE is making life. We are not gods, its simpler and more spread out than all that talk of some centralized final punisher of the wicked fairytale.

  • @cycophile Nah, evolving organism not intelligent enough to design purposefully. Maybe we can now but I argue that there is no we or us or them and self awareness is an illusion that we have control. If it were not then why do we not have the ability to do things our mind/body doesnt want? Your mind/body wants to prove it has free will, causing it react. No choices. But then free will doesn't really need to exist I think? It almost means nothing. There is no will without the body.

  • @DjCosmicRush i didnt mean that organisms were 'designing' themselves in a literal sense really... it was more of a metaphor to compare what we do know to exist with supernatural explainations. now natural selection is more along the lines of a logical process but thats a human way of looking at it of course.  rolling 100 dice still has a structure to how its going to work, i think thats what theists are focusing/stuck on.

  • @cycophile I think theists are stuck on "I hope i can have sex and money and food when i die, FOREVER"

  • @DjCosmicRush but i will add that even single celled organisms make "decisions" they arent really that in the sense that we choose to avoid a dangerous situation, but in terms of what that organism is doing it is still following the guidelines of the physical world around it to the goal of replication. again im not saying its thinking or anything. but animals do think and logic in a sense closer to humans.

  • Listen to the very last thing he says, very critical to understand this.

  • Atheist: 66 out of millions is statistically insufficient and does not rule out coincidence.

    Thiest: 66! 66! derp herp !

  • You are assuming that life cannot evolve on its own. Why cant it? For that matter theists are the ones having all the fun with speculation so its my turn -- I think all energy can in its own time evolve into stages of life, given the right conditions in a particular universe. And there are an infinite number of them, all bursts of matter from other dimentions as outlined by Brane-Theory. At least this is derived by science, unlike the fariytale!

  • 06:30 "Isin't bracing the truth better than false hope"?

    That may be a greater question instead of the debate between theism and atheism.

  • a better argument wouldve been "well how do you know that 1 apple contains the same molecules as another apple? how many vibrating strings does it contain? is there even really an apple there?" but of course when you are playing by the theist playbook you gotta cold read people into making mistakes, you cant make valid points on your own ;)

  • We need supersticion and also reason otherwise we will break the law of diversity. Diversification is necessary to assure humanities evolution. Evolution through the sense of freedom of choice. Freedom of choice is an asset to a being of any kind. The mysterious and unproofable should be smeared with unreasonable dogma's it feels as a sense of smug, deformity and humiliation to a exclusive rational mind. A pluralistic and dualistic reality platform garantuees the continuum of humankind.

  • We need supersticion and also reason otherwise we will break the law of diversity. Diversification is necessary to give the body of humanity and conscious evolution a sense of freedom of choice.

  • he has to make a place for you because everyone ofus that comes though the matrix has been given the gift of eternal life our soul lives forever, so GOD has to make a place where his presants is not to be found,so think of the opposite of everything GOD is,and that what hell is like simple way of knowing,like no lite, no cool, no order, read up on what GOD is and look at the opposite and you can see hell,it was made for the angels not people but they choose to go there,web GODISJESUSCHRIST(.)COM

  • man you dont get it.

    jesus christ built this world and made the devil which means deceiver,tester, destroyer, the moth, and it not just satan there is a host of them we dont know how many but there are 10's of thousands of them called devils, which are tester for GOD and there are good angel's to they test us too, there is 2 places for us two go when we die,one place is where GOD LIVES and they other is a place where GOD IS NOT, think a lttle bit you hate GOD AND DONT WANT GOD he has to

  • @fisher99100 whatever. why not just god forever everywhere then? seems like hes not so capable. and for the record nobody hates the concept of a loving god, they just dont think that stupid fantasy story is real. they hate the fake madeup genocidal god of the fake jewish system that anglosaxons are too stupid to realize they are being bent over a barrel with. its not for them.

    youve watched too many movies with that bullshit about moths and devils what the hell ever.

  • @fisher99100 You're delusional

    

  • to be honest people don't understand why we wake up an go to sleep end of story so that make of false beliefs system like god an the devil how do you know your dead how do you know people its just a big mind game that your playihng on yourself so praise yourself not god or the devil make people believe you are the ought most lol idk lol jus my 2 cents

  • According to Kant, human reason necessarily produces ideas of the soul, the world-whole, and God; and these ideas unavoidably produce the illusion that we have a priori knowledge about transcendent objects corresponding to them. This is an illusion, however, because in fact we are not capable of a priori knowledge about any such transcendent objects.

    --actually Dawkins does a damn better job of explaining why cultures use superstistions like gods and demons, its a mental placebo for survival

  • "On Kant's view, our ideas of the soul, the world-whole, and God provide the content of morally justified beliefs about human immortality, human freedom, and the existence of God, respectively; but they are not proper objects of speculative knowledge" --some website putting words in his mouth but i dont have time really

    So thers a god? Really prove thers only one of them? Because the conflict and contradictions would indicate theres quite a few gods as many cultures believe.

    ALL RUBBISH

  • Lignum crucis arbor scientiae! God bless you Mr Dawkins.

  • @RikTheMix Why refer to God ?

  • @Sunky4u ill get back to you on it, busy lately

  • Does anyone else find Dawkins quite handsome? Just wondering.

  • @angrybeaver200 He was certainly handsome when he was younger. Unfortunately, I don't think he aged gracefully, like say, Randi.

  • ANTONY FLEW'S SPIRIT has started having a say in his life and he now can see clearer and recognize Intelligent Design. For anyone that doesn't recognize the name, he is the most famous Atheists over the last 50 years.

  • @mrelgordoA i guess he isnt anymore HUH

  • These poor, ill people that go up to that rock and kiss it, gain faith. This faith, even though practically meaningless, can give them a little push to fight whatever sickness they've got and possibly cure it naturally.

    I think trying to take it away from them is careless and selfish.

  • @Crucial288 I dont think Dawkins walked up to anyone on a sick bed and said that to them. He via evolutionary adaptive traits understands the power of placebo psychology. Fighting depression and guilt at what must be done to survive is part of the reason every culture has had a religion to call its own.

  • @Crucial288 I don't think so. Instead of getting any medical advancements or trying to medically heal themselves they waste their time in a futile hope. Yes it is miraculous to see them get hope, but to sit there and say..." Well just let them die off of their faith." That is stupid and idiotic.

  • @DJ100101 The fact that you think it is stupid and idiotic does not mean it is.

    Some people who don't necessarily benefit so much from sitting in the hospital all day, will benefit much more from the placebo effect that blind faith provides them.

    And if that is one way for them to get better (they literally CAN get better by believing it, in some cases), then who are you to deny them.

  • @Crucial288 I don't want to argue their beliefs. I don't, I understand their faith can help them then by all means pray, but going out and traveling some place for blind hope can be detrimental to their health. I understand perfectly that the hope of something can help people and I see your point; I am merely saying that it is stupid to go out at put your health at more risk when you could be getting taken care of. Though I do agree their faith can push them.

  • @Crucial288 Perhaps, but nowhere do we see Mr. Dawkins trying to disabuse the sick of their faith. He carefully investigates what the sick get out of it, but does not challenge or threaten their belief. He does, however, gently challenge the guy who runs the whole thing.

  • @MrSunrise1961 No, I know Richard Dawkins didn't do any of this - I just think t that some of the people who comment here seem to take it that one extra step that isn't necessarily the right one.

  • I ain,t afraid of your Yahweh, I ain't afraid of your Allah, I ain't afraid of your Jesus. I, m afraid of what you do in the name of your God. Great song by Holly Near. On Utube. It says it all.
