  • It seems to me that you might get a good deal of very negative responses from atheists, not because we are intrinsically bad, but because your videos often offend us and hurt our feelings. Like I can usually shrug it off when you suggest that I deserve hellfire, or that my gay parents deserve hellfire, but a lot of other people will lash out when they hear things like that. Surely you realize that if you deliberately say offensive things to a group of people, you will get negative feedback!

  • Hold on GEERUP; I appreciate some of your videos, but I really don't think this portrayal of atheists is particularly accurate. For instance, is it really true that the first plank on a so-called atheist agenda would be "being mean" (3:10) with the second being to eliminate believers by any means possible (3:50)? Come on man, stop dehumanizing me.

    The godless bathrooms thing was pretty darn funny tho :)

  • wtf?

  • So we're atheists and we can get away with everything? Christians can sin and confess to clear said sins, which means they can Ultimately get away with anything. Irony?

  • Hilarious! You are a good actor Geerup. I'll bet even the atheists are laughing. Sadly, the reality of it all is that they truely are that passionate about their religion of atheism. The Lord has not come to remove us from here as of yet so there are still a few left for us to help him to save. Keep up the good work Geerup. Praise Jesus as Lord and saviour, Amen!

  • I dont know about you, im an atheist who does believe in an all knowing all seeing judge. When i look into the mirror on a morning, I dont want to see a murderer, a rapist or a child molester every day of my existance. The judgement from the person i fear whos judgement I fear the most, is from the man in the mirror.

  • im sorry this man is so blinded by his faith.

  • So you're annoyed at Dawkins? Got it.

    Sore loser.

  • Ich habe noch nie so einen Idioten gesehen!

  • Great video LOL I didn't know you had such sense of humor GEERUP.

  • the hell is wrong with you

  • LMAO nice man!

  • right and wrong is a moral perspective. you need to fucking cool the fuck down. stop cramming your crap down everyones throats. thats why people started leaving the faith, you fucking ultra crazy fucks that force your beliefs upon other people.

  • Watching this, my head starts aching. This sucks big time.

  • your sad attempt at satire and equating atheism with immorality is a lame, idiotic, sensationalist straw man. your followers, like those of religion, are idiotic sheep. consider suicide.

  • JESUS IS IMAGENARY! I say FUCK JESUS! every morning when I wake up and, nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened. I actually have a good life I'm in med school, I get laid etc.. So every morning when I wake up I will remain standing and, continue to say "FUCK YOU GOD! in Jesus' name amen" :)

  • If thats what makes you feel better about your empty heart and an actual miserable life...

  • boy you'll regret that one day.I promise you will have to answer for it.

  • So you are preaching love here?

    or the jesus in your heart told you that this is a good idea to bring the non believers to his side?

    Dont get the point of this, but it was good you really have a talent

  • loooooooooool ^^ awesome!!!!!

  • HAHAHAHAHA... its safe to say! HAHAHAHA

  • HAHAHAHA... AMEN!

  • This guy's a hero. Good job.

  • oK OK OK.... We don't need to elliminate the believers.. Atheists aren't the kkk.. I think this guy is a little coo coo.... The next hitler?

  • Hilarious, it's precisely how athiests see the religious behaving. Obviously opposite in terms of content but in essence the behaviour model of the delusional religious is pretty well represented here. The bit about "I don't want to make them better" is totally representative of many comments I see posted from many christians.

  • Maybe add a pair of geek looking glasses too. YOu could even use empty frames with no lenses.

  • LOL!!!!! Seperate batherooms! Hehe! Man, you need to do a whole series of this - make a new account for it and have it as a comicbook atheist character who is utterly self-defeating. ;)

  • You are funny! Humor is a ggod medicine. Stay with Christ. God Bless you.

  • This is rather inaccurate. You have a huge misconception on athiest. "In God We Trust" on money and such doesn't only pose a bit of a problem for athiest, but religions that don't even believe in such a God as well. Your 'satire' was rather repetitive and didn't show much intelligence. This is just another display of close-minded retaliation.

  • You're 19, what do you know?

  • Good observation on my age, however it seems a bit bland as a comeback.

  • You want a comeback? K. No one cares what you think, or say. He has a good theory. It doesn't matter if its wrong or right.. THERE IS NO GOD!!!!

  • good use of the word satire. bad use of the word athiest. it's usually spelled A-T-H-E-I-S-T, but for someone as intelligent as you, I'm sure you already knew that. speaking of close-minded, can you just list a couple of religions that are against "in God we Trust" written on our currency? i'm just curious. thanks.

  • Since you seem like a rather 'intelligent' individual yourself, I'm gonna answer your responses in the same order. The satire doesn't need to be touched on, but the word athiest being spelled in caps and dashes is something I rarely ever see, so maybe it's just a christian thing.

  • (Reply) (Spam)

    good use of the word satire. bad use of the word athiest. it's usually spelled A-T-H-E-I-S-T, but for someone as intelligent as you, I'm sure you already knew that. speaking of close-minded, can you just list a couple of religions that are against "in God we Trust" written on our currency? i'm just curious. thanks.

  • And the whole "in God we trust" thing, we might as well have countless quotes on all our currency, like "in Buddha we trust", or "in Satan we trust". Even better yet, "in Ourselves we trust". At any rate, we'd have something to "trust" in. Those fore-mentioned religions would be Buddhism and Satanism, just in case you didn't know. ;)

  • You ever thought about Christian comedy? I would vote for you. Peace bro.

  • Yeah, man, what the hell is Richard Dawkins compared to a first-century wish-granting Jewish zombie that I can telepathically communicate with!

  • Be mean?  You mean like this?

  • This is a rather simple straw man argument. Do you know what that is?

    It's when you misrepresent something, and then attack that misrepresentation. It doesn't require anyone to be very clever, so it's very popular.

  • The question of whether gods exist has nothing to do with whether there is an "ultimate right or wrong" unless you're of the opinion that morality comes from some authority figure telling you what to do, in which case you are a child and this video makes a whole lot of sense. :D

  • You're an absolute fuckwit. Yes, I know this was an attempt at satire. But it's a piece of shit.

  • holy shit your fucking nuts.

  • Jesus Loves you..he belives in you..i love you..you look hurt and in pain..you know he can take that all away..

  • Jesus is dead.

  • Nah, you're dead while you live.

  • Nah, life is the process of dying.

  • I keep coming back to your video's. Humor is a God givin gift. And brother He has gifted you. GOD BLESS...

  • man you crack me up :D

    excellent!!

  • Good message.

  • If we were face to face I would fear for my life. Maybe you have god but you also have crazy eyes.

  • I almost played one minute of that, that was scary..... O.o Oh and people mock the amazing atheist for 'living' in a garage, how about this guy, does he live in a car?? lol.....well anyways...stupid video

  • geerup you are one pathetic individual. Richard Dawkins is someone who knows his mind, can explain science, and give mountains of evidence. Your redneck parents probably brainwashed your tiny brain into believing in some imaginary friend, and you look like you'd be lonely without one. Americans like you scare the rest of us out in the the world so much, thats why atheists are so vocal these days. You're quite scary for a little one too. Go read a book on evolution you idiot. Peace.

  • "Americans like you scare the rest of us out in the the world"

    faithnomorelondon, count yourself lucky. I have to live with lunatics like GEERUP. BTW, his mother is a YouTuber. Her handle is "Bonigee". And yes, you are correct. He got his nonsense from her. That's the way it usually works.

  • "Go read a book on evolution you idiot"

    Most Creationists are too lazy or too stupid to learn anything about that which they claim can't be true. Maybe the truth is, they're AFRAID to learn anything about it. They're afraid to discover it COULD be true.

  • I have read books on evolution and they are missing life. I found a living loving God and He is life. Education is good. Get dialed in to the truth. It is the choices we make.

  • What a wonderful parody of what atheists actually have to say. Except for all of the bits that atheists don't actually ever say. But never mind that. He says it all in a silly voice, so that PROVES atheists are silly! Praise Jeebus.

  • lol

  • lol... if there is no right or wrong ultimately.. why should I believe that you are right about what you say?

  • my comment 8 hrs. ago was directed towards another clip. Greerup, your a good brother. I am new to youtube and you are a pleasant surprise. Thank you.

  • The Judaeo Christian god is "a vindictive blood thirsty ethnic cleansing, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, finicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capricious malevolent bully." --Richard Dawkins

  • WOW! That is sad.

  • This is one of my all time favorite videos.

  • Atheism is a religion.

    Great Video.

  • Thank you and yes Atheism is a religion.

  • Nothing has energy, empty space has energy. Creating radiation, light colliding with light causes matter to form. God is not real, that's part of your problem. Google this: Decoded sea urchin genome shows surprising relationship to man

  • lol....space is nothing....nothing... its a completly void part of exsistance. And anyway how the hell do you know space has enegy in it when we dont even know wtf energy is???? I dare go look it up....we dont know *Just how to make it/measure it/use it* lol...its a phenomonom=D

  • you need Psychotherapy

  • Richard Dawkins or God....who do you want on your side?

    Your videos are classic.

    Five stars again

  • Jokes not aside DeputySeriff Who made you moral headmaster over the U.S.A. what gives you the right to put me (One man who is a Christian in the U.S.A.) in the same boat as Bush....and 911 was provocation as far as I know... more than 3000 Innocent people killed (all Christians because they live in America.) as per you DeputySeriff...how will you bring peace to the World... Please Tell..

  • the origonal attack reason on the twin towers(That many have forgoten *noidea why*) was because the american government wasnt giving the country enough help* So they had like a big parade in afganland to rejoice. 4 revenge on stiffing their starving children and people by cutting off aid(many died). Good enough reason to blow up a tower.

  • ???

  • and then after the attack.....It gives ur government right to overthrow their country. Then move on2 Iraq(For oil) under faulse pretenses of WOMD.....for no reason other than that.....next it will be Iran...why? Cuz he aint christian/ And the americans seem to be trying to gain major footholes in the european/asian areas cuz they are just slowly tryin 2 dominate the world.....

  • Faith is a living and unshakable confidence, a belief in the grace of God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.

    Martin Luther

  • Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

    Saint Teresa

  • Not bad, but probably the meaning is lost on the millions of idiots who swear daily on YouTube. Nice teeth, who is your dentist? I would happily build you a Godless toilet so that when you flush it, you too get flushed down into the depths of hell with all the crap you have spoken.

  • LOL LOL LOL HONEST YES THE GODLESS GUY SHOULD GO TO HELL .. I THINK THAT IS WHAT HE REALLY WANTS thank you . :)

  • No one's asking you to give up your belief, just leave other people alone about theirs (and unlike you mean to imply, no need to fear a god peering down at you not to commit wrongdoings - but I guess we have different views on what a wrongdoing is, right?)

  • You believe in God alright, why do you have to break everybody's balls about that? I'm an atheist and if this can make you feel better, yes I'll burn in hell for that (even if I lead all my life behaving perfectly well towards people, isn't that a shame?)

  • When I see videos like this, I feel so sorry for Atheists living in America. Come on fellows, come over to Europe you'll be better off than surrounded by intolerant people who don't have the slighest shred of understanding of what not believing in a God actually means and who cannot imagine a system of values other than theirs.

  • I really can't see the beauty in simply having faith in something. But that's me.

  • Must you openly bash others' beliefs?

    You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Research before you go off on a tangent about stuff you know nothing about.

    Atheists have morals and values, believe it or not. But instead of doing it for god, it's for mankind.

    And the money? How would you like it if our money said 'there is no god?' It's the same thing.

    Once again, you use satire to insult people for having differing views. You're a sonofabitch to even think such bigoted thoughts.

  • Paul Johnson writes Adolf Hitler . . . was a disciple of Friedrich Nietzsche. . . . Hitler hated Christianity with a passion which rivaled Lenin's. Shortly after assuming power in 1933, he told Hermann Rauschnig that he intended 'to stamp out Christianity root and branch.' 'One is either a Christian or a German -- you cannot be both,' he added. . . 'I want a powerful, masterly, cruel and fearless youth. . the wild beast must shine from their eyes. . .

  • The Godless Guy is Satire ... the ASU is not... MochaLatte987 I'm a sonof....a bigoted....and Atheists have Morals like yours... O.k. tell me where you get sweet values from ?

  • The ASU is in a way both very real (was, anyway) and a joke. The valerie solanas and hitler thing (SCUM too) is clearly a joke, the first video was for entertainment mostly.

  • I was raised and taught to do things for other people... not just god. Morals don't just come with religion, you know.

  • Treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated. I do know that is one of Gods greatest laws. When we love others, rather you like it or not. We are doing what God wants us to do. We are the finger prints of God. We are made in His image. The image of love. Even though you turn your back on Father God. He just keeps on loving you. God is Love...

  • Amen divineconnection7 you said it

  • How about his laws that involve stoning people to death if they work on a Sunday? Or stoning women to death who are not virgins before they get married?

    You pick and choose the bits of a holy book you want to follow. Which therefore implies that we use something else to get our morals from, not the book itself.

    We do not religion or a god to have morals.

  • Revelation 22:7

  • You seem to have referred me to:

    "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book"

    I see. So when's your next stoning session then?

  • It doesn't matter what you think or say. Jesus loves you. It is our sins that He does not like. We live in a dying world. Jesus offers all of us life. My choice to believe in a living God was very easy. God Bless you...

  • Hitler and the Nazi's were also mystical freaks. They had there own little religious nut cult. They weren't atheists, they I don't think they were christians either.

  • the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc. MochaLatte987 you Just DON'T get it....I'm so very Sorry.

  • GEER Im on your side about the profanity and bad behaviour between the two mindset's. Its unnessasary and bad for peace and understanding between the two(Its also the reason why this film even exsist's). Its not either positions fault, but the lack of decent/structured/intelegent people who talk about it. treat other's opinions/thoughts with respect and accept it with dignity and others will be likely to do the same 4 urs. geer ur not innocent either 4 makin this lol.

  • I don't get what? I realize what you're doing is satire, but the underlying meaning is incredibly bigoted and hateful.

  • Is god able, but not willing?

    then he is malevolent.

    Is he willing, but not able? then he is not omnipotent.

    is he both able, and willing? From whence cometh evil?

    is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?

    I love these riddles. though they don't really prove too much

  • True sonata. they dont prove much. But they allow you to accept that god and the bible are questionable. But hey, if people wana be holy in the eye's of their possibly fictional god. First you gotta have Faith which to me is a beautiful thing. Yet it would feel wrong having faith in somthing so easialy questionable, so forever untill proven otherwise I will remain an optimistic agnostic. that way I remain a god fearing man and keep values close and common sence/intelegence closer.

  • LOL ! - Some bathrooms Ive been in are already God forsaken - peeew

  • Persecuting christians is Challenging the views?? LOL

    Video made me laugh. You said in one of your videos of how nasty every one else is on youtube. I think you make an active attempt at being nasty yourself. Maybe you could focus on the sensible atheist and ignore the immature ones. You could try websnarf, thequantumflux, moopoo( or something) + lots more. TogetherforPeace runs a stickham chat channel, he can get non believers in. Maybe you can go there sometime

  • "... we need separate bathrooms ..."

    ROFL

    Brilliant - as ever :-))))))

  • Your very title shows how much you can't even empathy (is that a verb in English?) with Atheists. We precisely want to think by ourselves, having other people having the same beliefs doesn't prove you're right. Having "someone on our side" doesn't even mean anything. We're talking about sth personal here.

  • empathize

  • As one of the most respected, knowledgeable and trusted of your philosophical persuasion, the United States Treasury in cooperation with The Franklin Mint are issuing a Collectors Three Dollar Bill. This landmark currency can be used as legal tender in the 50 states and all US teritories and possessions. Congratulations on your successful crusade for this new currency... modified and printed to your exact specifications. LOL

  • as long as it doesnt say in god we trust im sure he'll love it LOL

  • You make a good point. Even in the Bible, if I recall currectly is that we all will have to die for our

    sins. I would like to also point out, that if jesus is gods son. Why wouldnt god make us go thru the same as Jesus. I would, since the Bible claims that all men come into this world with sin. So I will see ya all at judgement. LOL

  • What we need is an ATHEIST to die for our sins and then we won't need Jesus!!!

  • DUDE! You gotta stop suckin' on helium! It burns brain cells. Oh never mind. You won't miss them. j/k

    Seriously, great video. 5 stars!

  • I realize it's satire and it is funny, but I just want to punch you for your skewed view of atheists and their views. =\

  • Of course, if those are really some of your views.

  • rofl! I can always use someone like godlessguy to help me put things into perspective for the day. ya, who needs religion when you can have all this wonderful nothing!

  • It's only nothing if you think of it like that, Parymich.

  • So you call 'Gods creation' NOTHING? lol.

  • I guess I can't be funny like some people....

  • Preach it brother!! Your videos really speak to me!!! It's people like us that are going to blaze that trail right behind Richard Dawkins as we form out throbbing horde!!!

  • I guess it's true. There are two groups it's politically correct to make fun of today. Evangelical Christians and Atheists.

    (oxymoron: non-evangelical Christian.)

    Not saying it isn't enjoyable, I'm just tossing it through my conscience. They have "soldieringodsarmy" and some other robot guy, we have godlessguyrants.

    Maybe I should loosen up and laugh, but I haven't finished coffee cup #1 yet.

    later.

  • LOL! Thanks I have coffee all over my computer because of you!

  • lol you are great

  • I have to say that "in God we trust" and "one nation God" in a secular nation does need to be looked at. Escpecially as it was a witch hunter who put it there in the first place. Anyone who didn't say was branded as a communist. I know I accept you proably can't understand why it's so important.

  • Hey Geerup, according to xild you and I are sharing the same bed becasue I won't tell you off for being mean to other Athiests

    erm... okay...

  • Ashetheraven.....oh....Noooooo­....love to ya.:)

  • This is Conan O'brian material, LOL!

  • "Seek peace, and pursue it. (Proverbs 34:14)" I Thank you Firefly515 for your kind words ...no I have no problem with you. And btw Thanks for the sub. peace to you and yours...:)

  • Do you have a problem with me?If you do,I would love to resolve it with you! I love your videos.They are really funny!

  • Hi!Did you get the PM I sent you today?

  • bathrooms... HAH! :)

  • I do hope this is purely satire GEERUP, because otherwise you still don't get us. But I still like ya anyway :)

    Actually, it'd be rather fun if we were wrong. I was thinking of creating a group called the future residents of hell :)

  • sonata 1992 I THANK YOU and I LIKE YOU TO...:)

  • "We have to elimate people who trust god. I don't care how we do it..." This video was kinda creepy. I hope you don't become an atheist geerup. Not if you'll get thoughts like this.

  • I agree. (for diferent reasons) Your one of the few I'm GLAD is a theist. :)

  • KT45 I have heard real atheist say this. No joking.

  • Can you link me to the video where they say this?

  • Judelicious1971 will serve up her brand of Christian hatred by saying, "..I would be imposing laws to have (Christian/creationist) you rounded up from your beds at night and and take you far away..." Because she can't stand to share the planet with people that don't think like her.

    Just to name one prominent atheist.

  • I saw the video you were talking about. After she made that comment she immediately said that she wasn't serious in the same video.

  • well, there you go. Like I thought :)

  • well.....forgive me, I haven't watched very many of jude's videos, so I'll knock it up as lack of experience on my part. I honestly doubt she honestly thinks that but....

  • sable, that's as bad as how some of the other atheists generalize everybody else. this is funny, but none of it reflects any actual ideas atheists have (at least the ones I know.....again....can't generalize)

  • Sonata,

    The leader of the ASU proudly sports Hitlers image....and lets not forget Richard Dawkins who would love to regulate what Christian parents can teach their children, because in his view it is the same as child abuse.

    I am not generalizing, these high profile atheist are setting the standards.

  • The ASU is dead. Richard Dawkins doesn't want to remove religion by ANY means necessary. What video did Judelicious say that quote?I don't remember her ever making that remark.

  • KT45

    "The ASU is dead." What makes you say that?

    One of her videos with the word "Flood" in the title.

  • Look at TheAmazingAtheist newest videos. The group is now disband and the website is just a webforum but not a group. I'll look for the flood vid. Thanks

  • Oh and I also remember a christian making a video about removing atheism by any means necessary. In fact that same user has commented on this video. But as far as atheist saying to get rid of religion by any means necessary I still haven't heard someone make these remarks as you claim.

  • KT45 Please tell me who and what you are talking about, because I doesnt know who you are talking about.

    As far as my claims, KT45 you are blind to it. I understand what that is like so I understand that you can't see it. They can wipe religion off the world, but there will always be Christians, the sad thing is you atheist are making a religion in the hopes of ridding the world of it. Good luck with that, interesting to watch the ASU figure out it's moral code...

  • firefly made the vid with the title of getting rid of atheism by "any means necessary". I don't think he feels this way now but it goes to show that the only people I've seen with this attitude are christian. Oh yeah and once again the ASU is gone

  • FireFly is a Christian? FireFly put his blessing on the mission of the RRS! Just in case you don't know the RRS's mission is to get people to blastpheme the Holy Spirit of the Bible. Something is a miss here. FireFly has also said he is an atheist...so I am not sure where he stands now. I think he is confused.

  • He was a christian when he made that video and I think that he still is one. Firefly said he was an atheist as some kinda weird experiment but he wasn't one. Firefly purpose of talking about the RRS was to say they have a right to free speech and he was thankful for that. If he says he is a christian then I think he is one but if you don't think that is I guess it is your right to judge him :)

  • KT45

    You judged FireFly as bad because you thought he is a Christian that wanted to rid the world of atheists. We all make judgements everyday, about what is right and what is wrong. This is very different from the kind of judgement only God has the right to do. If FireFly is a Christian, I do have the right to test what he is saying against Holy scripture. I am going to inform FireFly of this conversation now, because he has the right to defend his position.

  • I never called him bad. All I did was show that he did the exact same thing that you claim atheist do. This means stating "we should get rid of (insert position) by any means necessary". I already said that I don't think firefly meant it but have asked you to give me proof that atheist have made any such statement.

  • I have already given you many examples.

  • Jude never said to get rid of religion by any means necessary like you claim. In fact no example you gave was about get rid of religion by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Show me that any atheist makes this statement!

  • That's a complete joke sable (hitler)again, hitler had his own little occult-pseudo-christian thing going on.... It IS child abuse in my opinion...telling kids at their most gullible age that if they don't believe in a little book they'll burn for eternity in a pit of flames is psychological brain-washing...

  • WHO but an Atheist would tell a child, in the way you do, Sonata1992 that they would burn in Hell? You do not understand the first thing about what Christians teach their children.

    "That's a complete joke"

    Even after you explain it, I don't find them funny, and it's really hard to tell how far you guys will go for haha's and giggles...your comment is insulting and you know it.

  • "WHO but an Atheist would tell a child, in the way you do, Sonata1992 that they would burn in Hell?" Watch the film Jesus Camp please. Thank you

  • The Bible tells parents to teach their children about the Lord. This is done by talking to them about the ways of God through out the day, everyday. This is a very important job, not something you hand over for someone else to do for you in a week at some kind of camp.

  • None the less many christians do tell children that they are going to hell.

  • Children now days think Hell is a joke! I here atheists say,"That is funny as Hell" What is it? We want it both ways, American is entertaining kids with the Hell as candy. Walk into any Blockbuster and 75% of the movies are Hell bent. Where is Richard Dawkins' and his outrage for the mental health of the children of the parents that bring this horror in to their homes?

    ~~~

    Oh my you are only 14yrs old and you have filled your head with the Richard Dawkins' Atheist guide to Christian bashing best seller "The God Delution"

    Need I say more?

  • umm, Have you read the "God Delusion?"

  • I am in the middle of reading it right now.

  • If you know, beyond any doubt that it was the truth, wouldn't you tell your child? Your complaint isn't valid.

  • I don't know what I was talking about really...

  • The ASU is like... nothing. Richard dawkins has pointed out many times that he is not against people having their freedom of religion.

  • cjunk351, are we talking about the same Richard Dawkins? Because the one I am reading wants the world to recoil at even the idea of a child being raised as a Christian. So far in his book I have lost track of how many times Dawkins has contradicted himself in his intentions. He writes as if he understands America and it's people, while he sits back, in a safe distance from the hornets nest that he just hit with a stick and wonders why people are getting stung.

  • I think Dawkins just doesn't want children to be attached to any labels. Period. This includes not calling your child a christian child or a democrat child or a KKK child because putting labels on children or people for that matter can have lasting psychological effects.

  • This is a "Dawkins' Says Law". What gives him the right to impose his belief that his so called "labels" will have any psychological effects. Dawkins generalizes and lumps completely different belief systems together for his own benefit. He doesn't see any difference between Jesus Christ and a teapot. Is it scientific now to muddy the waters?

  • a "Dawkins says law"? You're joking right. Do you want actually psychological studies on the effects labels have on people? I'll find some for you. Do you think we just believe and follow what Dawkins says? Trust me, unless he is speaking of something dealing with biology its probably bullshit he pulled out of his ass.

  • Oh KT45, Richard Dawkins best sellers are not about biology...so you hit the nail on the head as to where he is getting his material.

  • Dawkins is giving his OPINION. and its open for evaluation and cross examination. Its clearly his opinion. Man, most atheist would never want dawkins DEMANDING things in their life. He's not like a PROPHET or something. LOL

  • @Sablechicken :)

    Yes he wants the world to recoil at the idea. But the point is that he has said that people should have the freedom to make such choices. I dont want my kids to become religous, but I still give them the 'freedom' to do so. They still have this freedom to think. Its hardly a contradiction. And I will challenge their beliefs

  • There are good choices and there are bad ones as well, it is a parents job to guide their kids in making the right choices in life, and understand why choice is right or wrong.

  • ok :) I have 5 kids. I will glady help lead my kids to make good choices. If they dont, I wont disown them. And they will understand quite naturally what choices are right and wrong.
