The Root of All Evil - The Virus of Faith (Part 3-5)

[Assassinscreed0925]

OMFG when I read about this in his book The God Delusion I looked it up and when I saw what the hell house showed to 12 year olds I was like how the fuck aren't these guys under arrest for child abuse??

[Psychiatrium]

the Hellhouse is some sick fucking shit, and 12yr olds are being forced to watch it?

[camobeast100]

7 people are retards.

[jakeyw11]

I don't even think most of these guys believe everything they claim to believe... It just gives them a cause to champion and makes them feel more connected and more powerful.

[Fuckleduck]

Thank you for posting this, nethius!

[rolynstone48]

Christianity , as represented by these seriously disturbed people in their hell house, is such a horrific depiction of their god - their "god of love" , showing the downside of his love - that is , "love and obey me or I'll send you to hell" but, as a reward for your obedience , will allow you to witness all the sinners burning for eternity as you bask in the glow of your own assumed self righteousness before your loving and just god !

[GoongalaGoongala]

Sometimes I think we're doomed as a race. We have so much potential to do great and awesome things, yet it is things like religion that hold us back from reaching the awe-inspiring heights that we have it in is to reach. All our progress as a race, set-back and sabotaged by religion and irrationality. I truly feel that if we do finally destroy ourselves, religious beliefs will play a big part in that. Its sad and pathetic on so many levels.

[bassetter1]

Thats just evil to scare people like that.

[VegsoulWhiteWolf]

That Roberts guy is disgusting...

[manufactured2012]

Has anybody ever considered the term... "false religion?" "Hypocrites?" "Lairs"?

If so... what do you call Darwin's original theory of evolution now obsolete? Is it false Atheism? Hypocritical Atheism? Lying?

[clintonskakun]

LOL, don't be gay...here...fuck my daughter.

[Highice007]

what bible verse is that from at 6:49?

[WhomTheGodsDetest]

the definition of rape needs to be changed to include mental attacks. because this is what all hell houses are.

[romperstompist]

If you like Dawkins, try Christopher Hitchens, and The Atheist Experience. If you want a real good laugh, watch a documentary named Marjoe. They are all great, but Marjoe is a must see for anybody out there. It is on youtube as well. In fact all of these are available on youtube.

[n987]

I'm gay and proud if it! XP

[VoyageThruTurbulence]

if you want to abuse a child, force them into a religion and into believing in a nonexistent god

[infinityLTFS]

"Its what I believe...It is a faith issue...Why do you not believe it?"

"Uh...because of evidence."

lol

[Drinapropriatetouch]

I dont mind if someone says 'I believe'

I do have a problem with the use of intimidation to force someone to believe something be it plausable or not.

[TaeGaruma34]

I wish dawkins or hitchens would do something about the religious in canada. all of my friends who are christian say they are taught to reject the old testimate. i wanna hear them bash jesus!

[Bobio1138]

Scare tactics? Really? I guess if George Bush can win his second election on just scare tactics then anyone can.

[elgordo420]

"uh, because of EVIDENCE."

[JeanLouie1106]

"why do you not believe it? (the scriptures)"

"ah...because of evidence" BINGO...but totally pointless on religious ears, so sad.

[Dreamerx47]

these people are fucked up

[doug1119]

Not sure what's more vile. The Hell House guy, or those biblical passages.

[qwer4o]

Paul Darrow is awesome here!

[lnesland]

Destroying peoples lifes... waister their time going to church... I am so glad I'm done with the bullshit :-)

[Reiff444]

3:10, so hes trying to remove freedom of will? poond

[triplejudy]

These people are sick; just another power trip that religion focuses on ... pure delusion !

Homosexuality is natural love, abortion must be legalized Darwinian Evolution is fact.etc.. the list goes on and on !

Religion is pure evil !

[GoongalaGoongala]

@triplejudy I'm not religous and I believe Gays should have all the same rights us heteros do. However calling homosexual love natural might be a stretch. Since sex (and love to a lesser degree)is predecated upon reproducing and continuing on the race and Homosexuals can't reproduce, it is in a sense unnatural. Mating and reproducing in an effort to continue our species is ingrained in our "hardware",yet homosexuality goes against that urge to reproduce offspring and continue on our species. IMO

[thomaseshuis]

@GoongalaGoongala 'and continuing on the race and Homosexuals can't reproduce, it is in a sense unnatural' The fact that it exists in nature, makes it natural. What you mean is that it is counter-productive to reproduction. But have you ever considered that homosexuality might be nature's way of controlling the population. Especially since the earth is overpopulated as it is. They can reproduce. Attraction does not equal action. There are also many heterosexuals that don't want to reproduce.

[GoblinXXX]

That's a very inaccurate and misleading depiction of an abortion, but my last dental visit was just like that. (And it was just a teeth cleaning!)

[TomMSTie]

Of course they chose to have lesbians getting married rather then two gay guys...because it's SexXXXxy!

[GoblinXXX]

The lesbian wedding may be sexy, but the guys wedding would be more FABULOUS.

[TomMSTie]

@GoblinXXX I picture Servo & Crow's wedding. XD

[GoblinXXX]

Same-bot weddings are an abomination. (Same-puppet weddings are even worse!)

[crvorhees]

@GoblinXXX

Not only that, but Puppets love FISTING! They just cannot live without it. And that, my friend is disgusting.

[GoblinXXX]

Well, I have to give you a HAND for that one! You really put your FINGER on it.

[SHEILAjcfreak7]

The Bible never said letting people rape your daughter is a good thing. It's a historical book too, and in fact it records many things that were completely wrong according to biblical standards. Saying it happened isn't the same as supporting it. I am a little upset when people read passages from the Bible, and take them out of the context of the culture, or even the rest of the chapter it was in.

[GoblinXXX]

The bible says Lot is a righteous man- The only on in Sodom, in fact, who volunteers his daughters for gang rape to save a couploe of angels-- No mention of the angels trying to stop him. And the biblical punishment for rape? You have to MARRY the victim.

[TomMSTie]

@GoblinXXX ...really? I haven't heard that one before. But of course I'm not exactly a biblical scholar. In the early days of my doubt I turned to the bible for answers, only to end up bored and with more questions.

[GoblinXXX]

Lord of the Rings is a lot more believable.

[TomMSTie]

The Silmarillion is just as long and boring as the bible. XD

[GoblinXXX]

At least the bible has all kinds of sex and murder and stuff in it. The Silmarillion is like all the long lists of the prophets and the laws in the Old Testament. Strictly snoozeville, daddy-O.

[TomMSTie]

Just skip ahead to Beren and Luthian. That's when it gets good...well, LESS boring.

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

"I'm an atheist with respect to the Judeo-Christian God, because there is not a shred of EVIDENCE in favor of the Judeo-Christian God."

~ Richard Dawkins

...Dawkins, that's because you have not visited my channel.

[Linguiphile]

Execution for making love to a fellow human?!

Murder thy brother for having the sense to apostatize?!

Here, rape my daughter instead, for after all, she is only female!

Religion may not be the cause of ALL evil, but it is inexcusably horrid!

[LIVEETERNALLOVE]

Religions are self psychologically enslaving, fear based philosophies designed by bloodline of elitist men for the purpose of having sheep keep themselves in check, making the feeble minded masses easier to control. Tragic how many of our peers are trapped in this delusion. As Rage Against the Machine screamed: "WAAAAAAAAKE UUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!"

[abz3751678]

judaism is fucked up religion yahweh is fucked up god

[MokomaSusi]

lol, like other religions would be any better? Few days ago islamists stoned woman in Somalia because of adultery.

[siliconchipped]

being offensive doesn't help the cause > let them expose themselves

[miles101457]

People all over World really must open their both MIND and EYES... THE MORE WE OBSERVE THE WORLD FROM WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS THE MORE WE LEARN! THINKING IS THE SOLUTION! USE YOUR BRAIN! BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE! DO NOT BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET PROVEN BY SCIENCE! EVIDENCE IS PROOF!

[vipsamsam]

Its Funny!!!! How he takes the biblical texts out of Context, To makes his point......Who is He that we should believe his teachings......Why Not instead read the Bible for your self.......and Find the Truth......instead of taking his Twisted words as certain.......Find the Truth, And then do as you must, But atleast you'll be making you OWN decision,

[adolthitler]

Idiot, I read the bible three times through. I came to his conclusion before he did. Why? He does not take the bible out of context, christians take it out of context. A passage here and there and they believe, read it all and see all gods horrors, and awaken.

[Ohgottis]

Dawkins is my Idol

[ChoujiMan]

I love evangelicals. They act like fools and make Richard Dawkins seem that much more intelligent.

Actually, they don't "act" like fools; rather, they are fools.

[eshana1anam]

I LOVE Dawkins face when he explains KNOW HIM "yes in the biblical sense" priceless!

[GeorgesBarras]

In my opinion empathy is key to morality. I wouldn't dream of raping or killing, even stealing, because I can imagine myslef being the victim of such acts. Why would I want to inflict that on someone else. Perhaps these religious nuts just have no faculty for empathy or abstract thought.

[sarah67act]

I think they lose there ability to connect with people on a personal level and even teach this to their children. There relationship with a supernatural all powerful being consumes them. Their fear dominates their life.

[cliffburton333]

6:42

[alittlebitofperil]

These fervent believers are the ones who will bring on the end of the world - and the frightening thing is tha tthey WANT the end of the world (even though it has been promised since 'jesus' died). It utterly terrifies me that people believe in this horror as truth. AND that they think people woudln't be good without fear of this kind of retribution. I'm not a christian (i was christened as a baby), and I have no desire to do terrible things to people.

[kcy29581]

OMG that abortion scene is utterly disturbing. As if medical practitioners would force women to have them... Wow.

[KettoKamisori]

Kill people for adultery? Damn, that would be some extreme shit.

[evilnomad111]

SHIT IS FUUUUCKED UP!

The Offspring

[amd2wo]

Dawkins, I'll ask you. and try to persuade me, What if the "Antichrist" or "Dajjal" has appeared at the end times? for example, what happens currently cannot obtain a dogmatic a posteriori justification, or anthropomorphic fantasies, souring an abstract mental argumentation, or souring rhetoric, essentialy contrast with a Sartre's coherentism that "Existentialism is Humanism"

Even the "hidden dominion conspirator societies" according to the narrations, is fundamentally 'spiritual'.

[wetyewruyrtsutrdhjfg]

Your question begins with "What if".

Too bad I'm not Dawkins, but I'll try to answer your question with a few other questions.

What if you're really a brain in a vat and everything you knew to be true actually wasn't?

What if you adopt a cat/dog/fish and it somehow resulted in your death?

Are you going to entertain the above possibilities, and live your life trying to avoid or prevent any fallout?

[KettoKamisori]

He probably won't ever see your comment...

[Deadandlivin]

What if you are wrong and all your beliefs are false?

Think of that, you then have wasted your whole life. Your one and only oppourtunity for a life in this world.

[DahStranger]

That is not much of a threat. I do not believe in religion, but this is not something I would think of. If death results in lack of consciousness, I would not be capable of regretting my lifestyle. If I was in such a state, this statement would be something to think about.

[DahStranger]

(continued) I say people should live as they want as long as they do not kill,steal,rape, or do anything else of that standard.

[BurningShadow11]

That's disturbing...I'm wondering if humans are superior to other species after seeing this video...

[chaossource]

Whats really funny is that it is these same people who argue that we are not animals.

[sexyYTuser]

i have been through the hell house

suicide,rape,drugs, then you go into the pits of hell agter the demons grab u lock you in a coffin wierdness

[qanazir]

Christians, there is not empirical evidence that supports the existence of hell, so why scare your children out of their minds?

[pappabear888]

i thought this hell nonesense would only work in convinving kids that it's true but sadly it sometimes convinces adults too

[AshNekoBoy]

i would go to that hell house, with popcorn a soda and a BF and just laugh

[TripleM87]

Don't forget the Smarties.

[fuuunnnn]

Atheist and their failed morph version, communism are the deadly Immoral virus of mankind and society!!

[kusalaviro]

I'm more scared of religion than I am of hell!!

[NoctheniK]

holy shyt! ive been to that hell house production! i am so luck i don't believe in hell, fuck hell :)

[guywhohaspolio]

I thought those things were illegal cos its like a horror movie with right wing subliminal messages it should be rated R-21

[AshNekoBoy]

the christians would flip out if they did that i'm sure they would claim that they are getting their free speech tredded on

[sirstotty]

So...... that guy uses fear to make people do as he wants. He must really admire Bin Laden then.

[heiyoulianglaohu]

hahaha cheers mate.

[AshNekoBoy]

that is what all christians do. plus osama works for the USA =3

[thegeek555]

yea i've heard that rumour!

[thabacktwister]

you have no proof that those scientists were atheists. even if they were, it was a Christian President who ordered the military to use the atomic bomb (twice) on people.

and you talk about free thinking? that pilot who dropped that bomb was a Christian. and he had a choice. he could have disobeyed. he could have done the Christian thing and followed his commandments. Thou shall not kill.

"don't become so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance."

[califoniania]

"don't become so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance."

That seems to be the problem today, that people are so PC and afraid of speaking their mind that the fundies walk all over them. Be respectful to others and their beliefs, but call a nut a nut. We need to know where to draw the line.

[jesusrules2012]

I hear some say here that it is religion that will doom mankind and you want to abolish it. you also claim how science is the only way. May I remind you all who made the atomic bomb? A couple of atheist scientist created the only thing that could kill us all! What the hell was they thinking? Yep gotta embrace science there you free thinkers!

[AKPhilosopher]

Science the only way? Only way to what? Science does not speak of salvation, it is not a religion. Furthermore, science does not talk about what we should do; fission is the source of great power, both harmful and beneficial.

Lastly, you learn in middle school history that ideology is the most dangerous weapon in man's arsenal. Or did you not learn that during your religious indoctrination?

[nethius]

splitting the atom was bound to happened, since an atheist figured it out first, that just means we are smarter!

remember Einstein (an atheist) send a letter to the president warning of the dangers of the atomic threat

[jesusrules2012]

First off Einstein was not a atheist, he was agnostic. Quote, "My position concerning God is that of an agnostic." Yes he did write a letter to the pres. He regretted what science did with his idea. It would only take a atheist mind to create something so horrific...yes my dear you should me so proud of the A-bomb. Christians have no problem with letting you share in all it's the glory! BTW according to revelations the A-bomb will be used to destroy some of mankind. Have a good day.

[nethius]

if you really think the creation of the abomb has anything to do with them being atheist, you really dont have a clue.

why are you scared of the abomb anyways? arent you going to heaven or paradise or whatever your religion refers to it as? where it is so better then the land of the living?

My life would end, my body will rot... i am not going to some super duper happy grande spectacular fun time place.

[BurritoFamine]

@jesusrules2012 The atom bomb isn't mentioned in Revelation; I suspect it is if you read it vaguely and literally, it does.  But not if you read like it should have been read.

[NHLfreak87]

@jesusrules2012 Christianity on the other hand gave us such glorious years such as the dark ages :).

[feralaesthetic]

@jesusrules2012 Though it may be true that atheists invented atomic weapons, who does the world wish to keep these weapons out of the reach of today? Religious radicals. Why? Because no rational atheist would destroy every life on the planet when it is the only life, and only planet, we have. You religious nut types however, believe in your.. uber-party in the sky where according to the bible, you worship god constantly. For eternity. Yeah. I'll take my chances w/ fire.

[feralaesthetic]

@jesusrules2012 That is the true danger of nuclear weapons. The idiots who have nothing to lose in this world, because they will have everything in the next. Which they have no reason to believe even exists. Apart from millenia old word of mouth of goat herders and desert nomads.

[jergorn93]

@jesusrules2012 The splitting of the atom has uses not only in destructive weaponry, but in energy as well. Just because something has the destructive capability does not mean that it is 'evil'. Fire, for example, can be used to torch houses and kill the occupants dwelling within it or it can be used to cook food, getting rid of harmful bacteria and imparting taste.

Science is neutral, there is nothing wrong with wanting knowledge to improve the the state of the world.

[darylcharron]

@jesusrules2012 I read your ignorant and illogical conclusions and they sicken me to a point of wanting to disassociate myself from your nonsense. First I am a Christian and not a nut who thinks science is evil. Second if the a-bomb was not used the war would have continued far longer than it did and many more lives would've have been lost than the horrifying blow that our regrettable attacks caused. You are ignorant and I am ashamed to put myself into a group with you as another Christian.

[Juan25toni]

@jesusrules2012 haha funny cause the Halocaust couldnt have been possible if not for the Catholic church giving support to Hitler... oooooooooooh burn

[jesusrules2012]

Dawkins is a drama queen!

[arcadio118]

That was a good one!

[RationalEmotive]

Why? I think he is fairly modest in not mentioning the biggest crimes of religion and christianity.

If there are so ludicrous things in the world as banned homosexual marriage or Presidents thinking they are on a quest from their god, I think we should be more dramatic, if anything.

[mdhelm09]

Capitalism and science go hand in hand..both are apart of the conservative belief.

[jimmyti9cer]

wow pastor keenan roberts, wat a piece of shit

[jimmyti9cer]

religion is what u tell a kid wen they r2young2understand reality of the universe.try teaching general relativity,astrophysics,quantu­m mechanics, and evolution w/genetic selection2kids.not gonna happen,so religion is used,jus lyk most parents cnt explain sex2kids

[johnandrewadair]

Only after religion causes WWIII will future generations abolish religion forever and remember it as a madness that nearly destroyed the human race.

[Erikjust]

Dream on.

The cause of WWIII will only be remembered as long as there are people in power who remembers and has learned from it.

Other wise a few generations of suppressing history and vola some religious nut chase whit the power of the word as his command,will come to power and get people to believe that WWIII was caused by people sining against god, and the only way to prevent it from happening again is to fully eradicate all the sinners in the name of god.

And then here we go again next war

[haydencantact]

Invisible overlords in the sky, talking snakes, transubstantiation, angels, giants, unicorns, dragons and to think we debate this.

[TheAuthorityHHE]

Scaring people into being good? Hmm...isn't Bush a born-again?

[darkedge21]

fuck religion.

[joerules22]

how did it come to this...?

[argonne5]

Exterminate religion.

Its just like horoscopes. Full of false hope, deception, and lies

[JETZcorp]

"Why do you not belive it?"

"Because of evidence."

BOOOM!

[PurushaDesa]

"GOD HAS SENT US A DIVINE MESSAGE THAT READS THUSL- oh sorry, line."

"Yeah, it's 'Kill the fags. Kill the fags. Kill the fags.'"

"Oh okay, I'll just launch right- okay, so : KILL THE FAGS! KILL THE FAGS! KILL THE FAGS!"

The compartmentalising on display here in this whole theatre of cruelty is fucking insane.

[wakingchild]

this Hell Outreach is the lamest B-movie I ever saw!

[wakingchild]

Hell was conceived for one of two reasons: either a fear tactic to help recruit non believers, or as some fairy-tale pip dream that in the end, all the baddies get their just deserts. It is because of hell that I stopped believing, so I guess their plan failed. we all go to the same place. end of story

[stargateproductions]

I Hate Religion.

[Drazha]

Execution for adultery.... man evangelists would be dropping like flies. And its SAD that its true.

[noellennon]

I agree with Christian Eric in the sense that cursing doesn't help, usually, but we need to find a way to get beyond belief. It may not happen in a year or century. Open yourself to the wonder of science where ignorance is the first step to knowledge.

[spliffidge]

the bible isent fact its just a very very old book of extremes.......and its totally outdated,people really need to cop the fuck on and grow up.......PATHETIC BULLSHIT,im still amazed at the childish beliefs of so many BRAINWASHED PEOPLE.......ITS JUST SOOO SAD,FUCK IT IF THATS THE CASE I TOTALLY BELIEVE IN PETER FUCKING PAN JUST LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON?

[EricPR239]

And I presume that you expect us Christians to listen to people like you, especially when they swear and insult. Are you kidding? How can swearing, arrogance and insult be the right thing? True Christians do not support intolerance and this guy is basing his ridiculous opinions based on human mistakes, personal experience he could not get over with, and conclusions based on convenient and arrogant presumptions. If you don't want to believe the Bible it is your option, respect ours.

[edmannumber1]

y should we do that?????

[Cadmusproject]

really great video....people must awake their minds!

[donotfeedthetroll]

i laughed my ass off at the hell house

[Sergionewyork]

RELIGION + CAPITALISM - science = No

[nadeau]

Capitalism + Science - Religion = Yes

[swinkyuk]

What a bunch of evil, manipulative child molesters. These bastards should never be allowed near children.

[danohrly]

fuckit

i'd love to go to hell

at least i'd lead a happy life, and not consumed by false hope and shove my beliefs down other's throats

:D

[ChannelExcite]

If life on earth is anything to go by.

[Wolfpac666]

"Becasue of Evidence." PWNED!

[lockheed123]

4:42 - 4:45 lol i get you now

[sbc1blonde]

LOL!! Right on!

[smithyo1986]

I love the way that the majority of religious arguements end with because it's belief or it's a matter of faith! By the way i'm reading the second edition of the God Delusion and Dawkins said there is still no interest from American Networks. But there are DVD's

[jesusinaskirt]

i wish u wouldnt put the same comment on every clip, jus to try and punt your views to every1, we saw it the first time. spam much?

and yes i am an atheist.

[Lazulite4]

I wanted to see what other people thought. What is spam?

[Sergionewyork]

Hahaha I am atheist too.

[Korittke]

Only if they preach the gospel of evolution with equal significance in church. Halleluja

[TomthatiscalledTom]

Keenan Roberts should be arrested for child abuse

[terrasidius]

Great video, Dawkins is awesome! :)

[erockbrox]

I also support Dawkins. He is the man!

[MrPogle]

Thank you for posting this. I support Dawkins and want this documentary to be widely broadcast in the USA.

[DahStranger]

You know there is such thing as a DVD, and you are watching this as you comment. Broadcasting this would be useless.

[DelinquentFaith]

Fear is God's tool? Well maybe war is also, and murder and rape. What a beautiful faith.
