As a Christian myself, I don't care that he wants to rip apart the Catholic church. They are apostate and therefore, not Christians. There is simply no way to read the Bible and come away with anything like Catholic belief. Nonetheless, every time I listen to Dawkins there is so much that needs to be said against him that I can't respond due to lack of space.
@WirtyDord I could be mistaken but Catholic is pretty much the source of all christian religions. Making whatever version you are a branch off of catholic.
@WirtyDord Your bible was collected and printed by the Catholic church. Dawkins has some controversial personal views, but they are his personal views. His messages on religion and science are based on fact, not personal views.
@timelesskoontah I (like tens of millions) don't believe in God. Atheism is a natural part of human evolution.
Most people lose their God delusions by the time they learn to tie their shoes. Others take longer. It is quite likely that you will laugh at what you're writing today in a few more years (or sooner?).
There is no law to stop you from believing in fairy tales. There is also no law to make me go back to the nonsense I once bought into. Is that OK with you? Thanks.
The pope blaming atheists for Nazi atrocities is reprehensible when you consider the fact that the catholic church was in bed with Hitler the whole time! -Hypocrite
Why are those with Jesus on the brain always demanding of non-afflicted atheists to "define" terms and to "offer evidence", when their entire "faith" is based on nothingness and man made bull shit?
You can't prove a negative. Priove to US why you don't believe in all those other Gods of ancient (and present) times? Why should WE prove to you that your God is make believe crapola?
Start from the point that NOBODY KNOWS and then tell us FACTS without constant fantasy and fiction mixed in!
Atheism is an indicator of stronger, more genuine character.
Atheists are much more likely to actually BE genuinely good human beings. That's a measurable fact.
The more religious, the more likely a person displays profoundly flawed character.
Atheists are MUCH LESS LIKELY to ever be in trouble with the law. Less likely to lie, cheat, or harm others. Less likely to be greedy, unkind or mean spirited.
@malechauvinistxy Yeah because you know more than Richard Dawkins, who obviously didnt do any research on this matter before making a public statement on it. Fucking hell your comment is so fucking stupid and moronic! A simple 5 second google search would take you to Hitlers wiki entry where it says: "In public, Hitler often praised Christian heritage and German Christian culture, and professed a belief in an "Aryan" Jesus Christ—a Jesus who fought against the Jews"
Richard Dawkins has a lot of silly arguments in general, but this is first time I've heard a few things that made sense come out of his mouth. People should be against a lot of stupid stuff that comes out of the Catholic church. The Catholic church supported Hitler on many fronts, and it wasn't atheism that caused Hitler's actions, but rather, it was the philosophy evolution teaches.
It's sad that the Catholic church has fooled so many people into thinking they are part of Christianity.
@creationliberty Care to point which of his arguments are silly? Catholics are part of Christianity no matter how much you disagree. See "no true Scotsman" fallacy. Also, there is no philosophy that evolution teaches. It is only a description of reality. People and their flawed and small minds attempt to put any kind of philosophical imperative on it. But specifically, Hitler praticed Eugenics (separate from evolution) and science has found it be a useless and un-scientific.
What kind of scumbag would work innocent people to death and then just gas and burn the ones that dont want to, I'll tell you - somebody hopped up on holiness . It hurts me that I have to be pencilled in with hitler bin laden. Long live islam, hinduism, christianity, atheism, janism, buddhism and oh yes....... long live judaism.
@tekbarrier You see us everyday on the street, at the office, at the grocery stores. Don't go by someone's name, go by their character, their way of life.
We are not likely to be found locked up or causing pain and suffering. We get along with almost all people. We truly live by the Golden Rule. We exhibit more human qualities and virtues than most other people.
When you are looking at a genuinely decent human being, you are quite likely to have before you an atheist.
@elporteroful I'm saying that atheism is an indicator of stronger, more genuine character.
I' saying atheists are much more likely to actually BE genuinely good human beings. That's a measurable fact.
The more religious, the more likely a person displays profoundly flawed character.
Atheists are MUCH LESS LIKELY to ever be in trouble with the law. Less likely to lie, cheat, or harm others. Less likely to be greedy, unkind or mean spirited.
@SynchroTotal Well, first of all they are not facts. You just seem to be under the illusion that religious people are bad people, which makes absolutely no sense. The basis of most religions is peace and love. Don't you think that someone who is more religious, not extremists, but the religious, would hold those values even closer? It wouldn't make sense if they didn't. The Vatican hasn't been in a war since the crusades, but the secular governments of the world are constantly at war. Fact.
@elporteroful None of your rant reflects what I said.
I said atheists are MORE LIKELY to avoid trouble with the law. I didn't say NO ATHEISTS ever end up in prion. I also didn't say ALL Christians are bad people.
I pointed to the FACT that desirable character traits are found more frequently amongst people who do NOT believe in God. THAT (unfortuantely for your argument) is a measurable FACT.
The more Jesus on the brain, the lower the charcacter. On average that is TRUE!!!
@SynchroTotal How is that a measurable fact? There's no way to look at what one is thinking at a given moment and take that into account. And when you try to determine come to a conclusion with such a hypothesis you would have to look at many other factors than just religious preference.
@SynchroTotal Interesting, but you still don't take into account how many of them are strong in their faiths, how many of them are only Christians by title, how many of them are leaning towards converting or atheism. And when did we start talking about heterosexuals and homosexuals?
@elporteroful There are statistics that do NOT place Christians in a favorable light. You can keep denying those statistics or keep distorting their validity. You cange none of the FACTS.
There are genuinely good Christians. They are genuinely good not because they are Christians, but in spspite of it.
Atheists are not genuinely good people for fear of punishment (hell) or hopes of rewards (heaven), but simply because common sense tells us that it's the rigth way to live.
@SynchroTotal Those are not facts, they are statistics. Numbers don't mean anything in real life, it depends on the individual. That's the problem with science, it can't measure every little detail in life. Also, haven't you been insulting me more than I you? In fact, I haven't insulted you at all. Who's being more hostile?
@elporteroful Facts are what we KNOW, not what we DON'T KNOW.
Nobody KNOWS anything about the after life. We can go by the FACT that thus far all living things eventually dies, and nobody ever came back.
Isn't it funny how religions of this world make wonderful promises that don't take effect until AFTER you die? That means they don't have to deliver on any of that holy bull shit. They take your money NOW, though.
Enjoy your illness and keep getting fleeced! I'm not that dumb.
@SynchroTotal Exactly, all you know are numbers, not each individual. You also can't disprove that there is no heaven or hell. Tithing in Catholic Church is strictly optional. I don't know about other sects or religions, but tithing is to support the Church since the government cannot give monies to the Church. The money is used to pay the bills and is the priests form of pay.
@elporteroful According to results of standardized tests I'm smarter than 95% of the population. If (by your claims) that population consists overwhelmingly of Christians, one can safely conclude that I, an athesit, am smarter than most of them.
How would you judge the "smartness" (more acceptable scientific terms would be intelligence or knowledge) of atheists as a group, who have shown consistently to be more knowledgable, even in the basic dictrines of various world religions?
@multitalentino You still cannot measure everything by tests and science. If you're more intelligent than 95% of the population then why don't you help find the cure for AIDS or one cure for every type of cancer or physical and mental disease, solve the worlds problems, bring peace to the world. Can you do all that? Apparently, you're in the 95th percentile. Science still can't explain why certain chemicals are released when they are. Why certain situations cause us to feel certain ways.
@multitalentino Tell me, with your science, why a newborn baby clings to its mother? Why out of all the other organism we are able to communicate vocally, why we have a more advanced cognitive mechanism than any other species on the planet, what force caused the Big Bang (which I do believe happened), why the planets arranged into the pattern, the design they have now, so that we can look up into sky awe and wonder what else could could there be in that vast universe.
2. Wrong, we're not the only animals that can communicate. watch?v=3lsF83rHKFc
3. Homo Sapiens' evolutionary pathway lead to a bigger brain. Other apes developed strength.
4. Scientists don't know what caused the Big Bang.
5. The planets are arranged this way because any other way would have caused them to collide. When the Earth was forming there were tens, if not hundreds of protoplanets.
@elporteroful You'd think with your interests in astronomy, physics, paleontology and biology that you would take the time to research all of this but noooooooooo, religion is the better answer so fuck scientific research.
@TheKainMan The second question I should've said why we are the only species that can develop different languages and forms of writing. The Big Bang, of course no one knows what caused the Big Bang. They say it was a tiny ball the size of an atom which just exploded and formed the vast universe that we see now. And well, the planets could have remained stationary or just float across space at slow speeds. Instead gravity holds the solar systems together, which could have something to do with...
@TheKainMan ...dark matter. No one knows what dark matter is or how to obtain it. Anyway, how did all of that come to exist in the first place? Some divine force must've made all of those atoms fall into just the right place so that we could be safe and see it all. Solar systems do have a patterned design, which as you should know is a plan or drawing. They are created and it's Creator must of had us in mind when He created it.
@TheKainMan I'm not ignorant. I have tried to look for the answers before with just science, but it never explained everything or added all up. There are other forms of explanation besides science.
1. Neutrinos: particles that move faster than light but don't interact with it. We can't see them, but we can detect them. Dark matter is next, and it's just a product of the laws of conservation.
2. There was/is NO PLAN for why our solar system is the way it is. You were not there when the Earth was hit DAILY by meteors and protoplanets because YOU WOULD HAVE DIED. Only after the planets set on orbits did life have enough time to appear.
@elporteroful The same fucking concept applies when you are sleeping: 8 hours pass in what seem like 5 minutes because the conscious part of the brain is not active. If dreams didn't exist to keep our brains active at night I guarantee you that even for a person waking up from a 20-year coma, those years would seem like 5 minutes.
The concept is so simple, but you refuse to accept it because of some false superiority you think the bible gives you.
@elporteroful Just because you assume science can't explain something YET, doesn't mean it won't do so in the future. Give me a break, instead of thinking everything in this universe was made for humans (utter bullshit), try joining a scientific institute and doing your part in cleaning up the shit stains of religion.
@TheKainMan I'm pretty sure science has had it's faults in the past, like religion. The difference is the Church has apologized for what it has done before, but science doesn't forgive. Science just goes on to unusual lengths to continue experimenting even the most inhumane ways possible. Then the government comes into cover it up. I don't understand the analogy of dream you put in, I don't know what you were referring to there. You can't be stubborn and think one way is the correct way.
@elporteroful No, the church goes: We know we're wrong, we're sorry, but we're right anyway because the bible says so.
The scientific method is supposed to not forgive, because it's job is to clean up shit and make sure everything fits. Also, I never knew the government covered up the smallpox vaccine, or medical prosthesis, or computer engineering, or the spaceship program. Cherry pick all you want, scientific advancement has done more good than bad.
@aDislikeBot How would you know that I haven't prayed for him? Or that I'm saying that to get attention? And whatever problems you have with autistic people keep them to yourself.
@elporteroful I'm unbelievable? You know exactly what its like to not believe in a god, i'm assuming you don't believe in the muslim god for example. And why is that? Because you happen to have been brought up to believe in your specific one. I hope you can see why you seem so ridiculous and ignorant now.
@aDislikeBot Yes, I do know what it's like to not believe in a God. I grew up in a Catholic home and at some point in time I didn't believe. My life was completely empty and when I found him again I was whole. Allah and God the father are one and the same. The only difference is one is in English and the other one is in Arabic. I hope you can see the incredibility of your claims now.
@elporteroful That was just one example, there are so many gods you choose not to believe in. If you were intelligent at all, you not have gone from non believing to believing, that is why I want to end the conversation here.
@aDislikeBot If you were intelligent at all you'd be a lot more educated about religion than you are right now. If you studied it and chose not to believe that's one thing, but if you haven't and just reject religion all together, like you demonstrated here, is entirely your own fault.
@elporteroful To be honest I wouldn't waste your time praying for me, since anything is more productive than praying, but if you have nothing better to do with your life go ahead.
@elporteroful What don't they have any evidence for lol? Science explains things that it does have evidence for... if you don't trust science you are plain dumb.
@JakobiaP I love science. I know science has it's place, but science can't always solve everything you know. Then you make up theories to fill in holes. The Church doesn't make false claims. It doesn't find answers overnight either. It takes years of studying history, science, theology, philosophy, etc.
@elporteroful Well, my family on my fathers side has been atheists for generations and all have been very intelligent and highly educated people, politicians and military heroes, my mother was a member of a sect and has told me of the truth of hardcore religion, and I'm happy I see clearly enough to see through the veils of lies
@JakobiaP And? My father's side of the family are veteran's as well fighting in the Mexican Revolution to the war in Iraq and politicians. My mother's side were born into poverty, but hardworking and enjoyed life nonetheless. Both sides are fervent Catholics. What were you trying to get at?
@elporteroful what other form's?,oh wait let me think...the bible of course that has all the answers,oh wait no can't be that becouse it's a badly writen work of fiction.
But the in the Soviet Union. Catholic donations were seized as "unlawfully obtained funds" and Chechnya was seen as a seperate islamic state by central soviet powers and were starved and executed. But other than that. A truly great response from the secular community. Kudos, - A muslim.
@2ndCrysis Because he was trying to stamp out any potential opposition. Stalin also revived and embraced the Russian Orthodox Church during the war, since religion served his purpose then.
But stamped em out the nexy day for power. Im just plain and factous in saying that Karl marx Lenin and Stalin all believed in a secular Soviet Empire and one can be quoted on saying that 'where atheism begins communism begins'. Naturally of course atheism cannot take responsibilty for sick occupation but it just points out that you can't generalize when comes to power hungry pseudo- nationalists and tyrants unfortunately the soviet occupation of afghanistan was what got Bin laden his funds
The funny thing is most Catholics do not even that in the beginning the priest where allowed to get married but what happen was the church realized they where losing money because when they abolished marriage now the priest when they pass away all their money goes to the Vatican.
By the way, regarding my previous comment... the Pope, if his intention was to smear atheists, would have been much better off citing Stalin instead of Hitler, since Stalin had an agenda to wipe out every religion, including Catholicism. But I never gave the Catholic church much credit in the brains dept.
@Thunderf00t do you know when and wher was this, and how many people were there? I really like Dawkins, but I don't really have a clue about how much attention he's been able to draw so far...
@JonLambert89 Over infosizing facial expressions is somewhat a part of signing. It helps display feelings that people usually impart via tones in speech, something the deaf can't hear and signers can't sign. Don't think bad of her for doing her job.
@JonLambert89 Lay off the hater-aid buddy. It turns your teeth yellow and makes your breath smell like shit! What do you know,,, I'm making that same face right now >o<,,,, it's not smugness, it's disgust! :-)
@JonLambert89 Her disgusted look was reflecting the feeling of us that know Hitler was a Roman Catholic and not an atheist like the idiot Christians/believers think. That was the point Richard was making at the moment. MY disgusted look is that from disappointment in you judging her without really knowing what is going on. Take a ASL class and learn something about signing before you go casting dispersions on interpreters when you don't know what they're doing.
Respond to this video... You may think me smug.... I really don't care. I think you are being an arrogant fuck that types before he thinks. GOOD DAY SIR!!!!! LMAO :-O End of conversation!
@fuzzytangent It also requires bravery cus those morons would gladly die for there magical sky daddy as theyve done before but im glad that there numbers are thinning day by day and soon there god will go the way os zuse,thor and anubis.
All have sinned, but Jesus died on a cross, for our sins. So that we can escape God's wrath: Hell ! What is 10000 times more worse than earth. We are wicked and we deserve to be punished by a Holy, Righteous, and good God, who will judge us on our deeds and thoughts on earth. It's not a man-centered world, but a God-centered world. Jesus drank our wrath, and bore our sin on the cross, so that we could come back to our Father who is in heaven, and begin by turning away of our sins, to live holy.
@fatouche99 "BTW. The pope lives in a gold room and works in a gold palace. Very Christ-like. Damn the Pope and all the vile doctrines his immoral church spews."-fatouche99
@fatouche99 "However, no intelligent atheist should ever say that Hitler was wicked because he was Christian. He was just a bad guy."-fatouche99
>Adolf Hitler and his parents were indeed Roman Catholic, but please do not spread the delusion that he was a Christian. Roman Catholicism is not Christian. Though it is true that this political institution has grown in power like a virus using the guise of Christianity, their pagan anti-biblical and antichrist doctrines of man are far from christian
Probably not. However an intelligent individual would point out that he used the Christian faith of millions of deeply pious (and, thanks to nineteen centuries of anti-Jewish bile from the Catholic Church, often somewhat anti-semitic) Germans to manipulate them to his advantage. On countless occasions, Hitler mentions his duty from God to expel the Jews, among other things. Hitler is not quoted mentioning Darwin once.
@philthroughfire29 yes belief in christianity is a very dangerous weapon, giving your mind away to magical thinking can lead you to do crazy thing like hitler did
@jadagod Nice sweeping generalization. You'd have been better off saying "can be a very dangerous weapon". The belief in the words that were allegedly spoken by Christ and the beliefs that were held by Christ are NOT inherently dangerous and people who say things like you did come off as bigots when they probably mean to do the opposite. Stalin was twice the murderer Hitler ever was and he burned churches to the ground and killed priests. Christianity doesn't make you crazy. Crazy does.
@Decimus78 Stalin didn't do anything for atheism didn't Dawkins explains this in the video? yes it was a sweeping statement but its actually true if your willing to give your mind away to an invisible being and take the word of the pope for his wishes then that is dangerous.... like Sam Harris said it's not that white witches are good and black witches are bad it's the belief that witches are real
@coolboysoldier1 I'm not saying he was a good Christian. But by his own admission he was, so were they guys who conducted the inquisition. That doesn't make all Christians bad, just like Mao's actions don't make all atheists bad. People are more complicated than that. That was my point. BTW. I've read the bible a couple of times and that is what made me an atheist. We can't be friends because I don't believe what you believe? Just asking.
@fatouche99 I can say that I am a christian, and just continue to live like hell. He lived like hell, If hitler was truly a christian, he would love to tell others about God. And he stopped killing others, I dont know if he did or not. But a christian is that you love the Lord with your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And believe me he didnt do that. If he was a christian, we supposed to see the fruit of someones life. Did he love others, did he die for his friends? Did he love his enemies? No
@coolboysoldier1 Were the crusaders loving their enemies? No, but they were Christians. My point is that it's not fair to lump people into a category because someone like-minded is a terrible person. It's not fair to do it to Christians. It's not fair to do it to atheists or anyone else. I don't care if the Crusaders or Hitler were Christians or not. Their vile deeds had nothing to do with Christianity. Just like Stalin's evil deeds had nothing to do with atheism. Just bad people doing bad.
@fatouche99 If the crusaders and others meant with christian, fighting and hating others, then yes they were christians. But they couldnt be the true christians stated in the bible. But I do agree with bad people doing bad stuff. Because we all sin, and we are all evil. If we lied one time in our whole life, we are evil. Thats not my saying but Gods saying.
But you know if hitler and the others wanted to be saved, they would have turned to God and asked for forgiveness. But they didnt, too bad.
You can just deny God if you want, but you know you are evil just like everybody else. We all have sinned and have become short of the glory of God. Please turn from your wicked ways and repent! I didnt came here to speak about nice things and have good conversations. I came here to convict you of your sin. We all have lied, and have looked with lust and many other things. I came here because God told me to warn you of hell, hell is 10000 more worse than earth! repent!
@coolboysoldier1 I retract my prior statement that you are confident in your beliefs,as I was in error there. The reason I guess why you shy away from learning something new is that you are in fact (unconsciously) very much in doubt about the things you believe in,since if you were not in doubt, you could with ease absorb new knowledge without any fear of loosing your beliefs.If you would innerly hold your beliefs to be true, you'd know that learning about the world would only strengthen them.
@SeltsamerAttraktor Oh I could easily accept things, But I dont want it because it has no life within them. But I like evolution, and how the world came to be you know, and how animals came to be. I know its all lies, and that richard is gonna see God someday, I wonder what he is going to say :P And I like how they think, the fish could turn into apes, and dinosaurs and stuff. And I laugh at them sometimes, and I think what?? You'll have to have more faith in the big bang than Jesus Christ.
@coolboysoldier1 If I would try to argue you with evidence and facts, it would be in vain, you wouldn't even listen. It's really a shame that your world view is so heavily twisted and closed. But you have to have this mindset in order to keep your little delusion from tumbling down. I got to admit though, that I'm not quite sure if you are either a poe, or a wacko. I presume the former. So, either way, any further discussion is for vain.
But, if you are sincere, go and watch /watch?v=r6w2M50_Xdk
Universe is beautiful I know, and I watched the vid a little bit. And the Guy said science saved my soul. That may be, but God saved my soul :P I wont lie its true. I was dead but he made me alive, HE HEALED ME also. So I know that He is alive. Get to know him man. But when I go to heaven, im gonna go everywhere in the universe and take a look at it haha. I can not wait to meet my Lord God Almighty, halleluja!! peace brother I hope you get saved. ;)
@fatouche99 "... just like Mao's actions don't make all atheists bad."
>FYI for anyone interested.
Mao, allegiant and obedient to papal Caesar Dynasty Rome and under Jesuit control, eliminated 6-7 million Buddhists per Romes continuing and ongoing papal led Romish religious genocidal Crusades during the Jesuit Cold War Hoax.
Hope this helps anyone fearlessly and sincerely searching for the truth in matters that Matter and the cold and clammy reality of this world through which we pass. peace
@coolboysoldier1 "Hitler is in hell I can tell you that, big time."-coolboysoldier1
>FYI. Neither the man or soul of Adolf Hitler resides in "hell". Nobody is in hell, nor is anyone in heaven yet. No one's soul will reach either place till come Judgement Day.
P.S. Keep in mind the dogma of the "Rapture" is pure bullshit.
Hope this helps anyone in need or sincerely searching for truth in an honest, rational and logical manner.
Everybody who thinks that the fact that Ratzinger was once in the Hitler Youth proves any point at all is a douchebag. It was virtually mandatory for every German boy back then, oh and... people really do change in 50+ years.
@SeltsamerAttraktor You're correct, most of Germany's youth was in that program. It's certainly not a fair accusation. But all these arguments are unfounded because bad people to bad things and good people do good things. And some bad people are religious and some are not. Just saying.
Parents convince their children that the monster isn't hiding under their bed but rather watching them relentlessly from above. How monstrous is that, religions perfect lie "born in sin". Which desperately requires belief because it guarantees their existence. Religion & its endless supply of fear. Without it you would never willingly choose to love anyone that forces you to do so. And, YES, God forces you to love him. That is what it means to say love me or burn for all eternity.
Hitlers crime of killing Jews was a religious crime, Why would an Atheist care if you are Jewish ? More proof the man was not only a Christian but actually committed some of his crimes because he was a christian.
@faircompetition1 Wrong, it wasn't religious, it was political dogma and other dogmas, purity of german blood, hatred against the jews and many others... He believed he was divenly inspired or some shit like that but the main reasons were not explicitly because of Christianity, same gos with the absurd arguments the the crimes of Stalin, Pol Pot etc were because of Atheism...
@DocStrange0123 How do you identify what white male to send to the extermination camp? There is no way to tell unless you find out what church they go to. Even parental linage is no perfect indicator. Therefore when you make the selection as to who dies you are making the choice based on religion. Sure you may also assign other social and economic reasons but they are only justifying your hate. You kill the rich Jewish industrialist but not the rich Christian industrialist based on religion.
Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given to the profane masses is another useful idiot for Jesuit machinations-C.O.
Jesuitical: pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuit Order completely altered the education system to suit their Evo-Hoax agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible
@WhereIsReligion I will presume you are sincere and take your question seriously.
Humans are 100% human and 0% "monkey". Monkeys are 100% monkey and 0% human.
The jesuit sponsored and created evolution theory hoax is merely one of the many tools being used in Romes Counter Reformation set forth in their Council of Trent. It is one of the greatest scams ever perpetrated upon mankind. Its purpose - to destroy what escaped the R.C. institutions clutches during the PROTESTant Reformation. More Qs?
@SpencerBenedict2nd Technically we are 100% human but study's show we are also monkey or ape 96%. Much like how you get 50% of your father and 50% of your mothers DNA but get 100% of your mothers Mitochondria DNA. It's proven. Accept it or not but it will be taught in schools because it has evidence behind it, and creationism doesn't.
@WhereIsReligion Thats a naturalist fundamentalist opinion. But on another note, there isnt any proof behind the big bang either. So either neither of them or both of them should be taught.
Evolution is a guess, a speculation, an hypothesis, a theory, a faith. Yes, evolution is a religion. Sorry professors, evolution is NOT a fact. It is a fraud, a fake, a farce and a faith, and taxpayers should demand that the religion of evolution be kept out of public schools unless the truth of scientific creationism is also taught.
Your mind has been systematically deluded by indoctrination into accepting and believing a Jesuit created myth. Accept it or not, i don't care.
@SpencerBenedict2nd Evolution not a religion doesn't have a belief in Deity(s). Faith a bit since it still is technically a theory, but scientist no longer argue IF it happened but the exact process. If your referring to the truth as Creationism then I have really almost nothing to say because I have been there and you can't prove Creationism did happen. You by the way are denying Evolution as I deny Creationism based on evidence I have found.
@WhereIsReligion Its not a religion, its a fundamentalist ideology. It has evidence supporting it, but no solid proof... there are way too many gaps in bone structures and ancient DNA just doesnt exist.
Its fundamentalist for this reason.... Im not saying its true or false, but it is fundamentalist.
Just like Intelligent design says the same exact thing as evolution, but it is the fundamentalist ideology that God is the cause of the adaptation of animals over time.
@WhereIsReligion I have no problem with fundamentalism... but I *do* find atheist/naturalist fundamentalist ideology to be problematic in that they take on the position that "I only believe things I can prove" but cannot prove the non-existence of God.
So, it is hypocritical of an atheist to criticize the faith/belief of theistic fundamentalism but not realize that they rely on the same exact type of fundamentalist faith/belief in their own atheistic ideology.
@havabighed I haven't met an Atheist who says for certainty there is no god. We cannot prove it and we cannot disprove it. Anyone who says without a doubt there is no god is just being arrogant.
And the Vatican helped in the massacre of hundreds of Serbs with the ustases.

@timelesskoontah I (like tens of millions) don't believe in God. Atheism is a natural part of human evolution.
Most people lose their God delusions by the time they learn to tie their shoes. Others take longer. It is quite likely that you will laugh at what you're writing today in a few more years (or sooner?).
There is no law to stop you from believing in fairy tales. There is also no law to make me go back to the nonsense I once bought into. Is that OK with you? Thanks.

Atheists are much more likely to actually BE genuinely good human beings. That's a measurable fact.
The more religious, the more likely a person displays profoundly flawed character.

Richard Dawkins has a lot of silly arguments in general, but this is first time I've heard a few things that made sense come out of his mouth. People should be against a lot of stupid stuff that comes out of the Catholic church. The Catholic church supported Hitler on many fronts, and it wasn't atheism that caused Hitler's actions, but rather, it was the philosophy evolution teaches.
It's sad that the Catholic church has fooled so many people into thinking they are part of Christianity.

@creationliberty Care to point which of his arguments are silly? Catholics are part of Christianity no matter how much you disagree. See "no true Scotsman" fallacy. Also, there is no philosophy that evolution teaches. It is only a description of reality. People and their flawed and small minds attempt to put any kind of philosophical imperative on it. But specifically, Hitler praticed Eugenics (separate from evolution) and science has found it be a useless and un-scientific.

@coolboysoldier1 Were the crusaders loving their enemies? No, but they were Christians. My point is that it's not fair to lump people into a category because someone like-minded is a terrible person. It's not fair to do it to Christians. It's not fair to do it to atheists or anyone else. I don't care if the Crusaders or Hitler were Christians or not. Their vile deeds had nothing to do with Christianity. Just like Stalin's evil deeds had nothing to do with atheism. Just bad people doing bad.

@fatouche99 If the crusaders and others meant with christian, fighting and hating others, then yes they were christians. But they couldnt be the true christians stated in the bible. But I do agree with bad people doing bad stuff. Because we all sin, and we are all evil. If we lied one time in our whole life, we are evil. Thats not my saying but Gods saying.
But you know if hitler and the others wanted to be saved, they would have turned to God and asked for forgiveness. But they didnt, too bad.

You can just deny God if you want, but you know you are evil just like everybody else. We all have sinned and have become short of the glory of God. Please turn from your wicked ways and repent! I didnt came here to speak about nice things and have good conversations. I came here to convict you of your sin. We all have lied, and have looked with lust and many other things. I came here because God told me to warn you of hell, hell is 10000 more worse than earth! repent!

@coolboysoldier1 I retract my prior statement that you are confident in your beliefs,as I was in error there. The reason I guess why you shy away from learning something new is that you are in fact (unconsciously) very much in doubt about the things you believe in,since if you were not in doubt, you could with ease absorb new knowledge without any fear of loosing your beliefs.If you would innerly hold your beliefs to be true, you'd know that learning about the world would only strengthen them.

@SeltsamerAttraktor Oh I could easily accept things, But I dont want it because it has no life within them. But I like evolution, and how the world came to be you know, and how animals came to be. I know its all lies, and that richard is gonna see God someday, I wonder what he is going to say :P And I like how they think, the fish could turn into apes, and dinosaurs and stuff. And I laugh at them sometimes, and I think what?? You'll have to have more faith in the big bang than Jesus Christ.

@coolboysoldier1 If I would try to argue you with evidence and facts, it would be in vain, you wouldn't even listen. It's really a shame that your world view is so heavily twisted and closed. But you have to have this mindset in order to keep your little delusion from tumbling down. I got to admit though, that I'm not quite sure if you are either a poe, or a wacko. I presume the former. So, either way, any further discussion is for vain.
But, if you are sincere, go and watch /watch?v=r6w2M50_Xdk

@fatouche99 "... just like Mao's actions don't make all atheists bad."
>FYI for anyone interested.
Mao, allegiant and obedient to papal Caesar Dynasty Rome and under Jesuit control, eliminated 6-7 million Buddhists per Romes continuing and ongoing papal led Romish religious genocidal Crusades during the Jesuit Cold War Hoax.
Hope this helps anyone fearlessly and sincerely searching for the truth in matters that Matter and the cold and clammy reality of this world through which we pass. peace

@coolboysoldier1 "Hitler is in hell I can tell you that, big time."-coolboysoldier1
>FYI. Neither the man or soul of Adolf Hitler resides in "hell". Nobody is in hell, nor is anyone in heaven yet. No one's soul will reach either place till come Judgement Day.
P.S. Keep in mind the dogma of the "Rapture" is pure bullshit.
Hope this helps anyone in need or sincerely searching for truth in an honest, rational and logical manner.

Everybody who thinks that the fact that Ratzinger was once in the Hitler Youth proves any point at all is a douchebag. It was virtually mandatory for every German boy back then, oh and... people really do change in 50+ years.

@SeltsamerAttraktor You're correct, most of Germany's youth was in that program. It's certainly not a fair accusation. But all these arguments are unfounded because bad people to bad things and good people do good things. And some bad people are religious and some are not. Just saying.

Parents convince their children that the monster isn't hiding under their bed but rather watching them relentlessly from above. How monstrous is that, religions perfect lie "born in sin". Which desperately requires belief because it guarantees their existence. Religion & its endless supply of fear. Without it you would never willingly choose to love anyone that forces you to do so. And, YES, God forces you to love him. That is what it means to say love me or burn for all eternity.

Hitlers crime of killing Jews was a religious crime, Why would an Atheist care if you are Jewish ? More proof the man was not only a Christian but actually committed some of his crimes because he was a christian.

@faircompetition1 Wrong, it wasn't religious, it was political dogma and other dogmas, purity of german blood, hatred against the jews and many others... He believed he was divenly inspired or some shit like that but the main reasons were not explicitly because of Christianity, same gos with the absurd arguments the the crimes of Stalin, Pol Pot etc were because of Atheism...

@DocStrange0123 How do you identify what white male to send to the extermination camp? There is no way to tell unless you find out what church they go to. Even parental linage is no perfect indicator. Therefore when you make the selection as to who dies you are making the choice based on religion. Sure you may also assign other social and economic reasons but they are only justifying your hate. You kill the rich Jewish industrialist but not the rich Christian industrialist based on religion.

Jesuitical: pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating
The Jesuit Order completely altered the education system to suit their Evo-Hoax agenda to discredit the Bible. They cant have a Satanic society of 'Do as Thou Wilt' if people still follow the Bible

@WhereIsReligion I will presume you are sincere and take your question seriously.
Humans are 100% human and 0% "monkey". Monkeys are 100% monkey and 0% human.
The jesuit sponsored and created evolution theory hoax is merely one of the many tools being used in Romes Counter Reformation set forth in their Council of Trent. It is one of the greatest scams ever perpetrated upon mankind. Its purpose - to destroy what escaped the R.C. institutions clutches during the PROTESTant Reformation. More Qs?

@SpencerBenedict2nd Technically we are 100% human but study's show we are also monkey or ape 96%. Much like how you get 50% of your father and 50% of your mothers DNA but get 100% of your mothers Mitochondria DNA. It's proven. Accept it or not but it will be taught in schools because it has evidence behind it, and creationism doesn't.

@WhereIsReligion Thats a naturalist fundamentalist opinion. But on another note, there isnt any proof behind the big bang either. So either neither of them or both of them should be taught.

Evolution is a guess, a speculation, an hypothesis, a theory, a faith. Yes, evolution is a religion. Sorry professors, evolution is NOT a fact. It is a fraud, a fake, a farce and a faith, and taxpayers should demand that the religion of evolution be kept out of public schools unless the truth of scientific creationism is also taught.
Your mind has been systematically deluded by indoctrination into accepting and believing a Jesuit created myth. Accept it or not, i don't care.
SpencerBenedict2nd 4 months ago
@SpencerBenedict2nd Evolution not a religion doesn't have a belief in Deity(s). Faith a bit since it still is technically a theory, but scientist no longer argue IF it happened but the exact process. If your referring to the truth as Creationism then I have really almost nothing to say because I have been there and you can't prove Creationism did happen. You by the way are denying Evolution as I deny Creationism based on evidence I have found.

@WhereIsReligion Its not a religion, its a fundamentalist ideology. It has evidence supporting it, but no solid proof... there are way too many gaps in bone structures and ancient DNA just doesnt exist.
Its fundamentalist for this reason.... Im not saying its true or false, but it is fundamentalist.
Just like Intelligent design says the same exact thing as evolution, but it is the fundamentalist ideology that God is the cause of the adaptation of animals over time.
havabighed 4 months ago
@WhereIsReligion I have no problem with fundamentalism... but I *do* find atheist/naturalist fundamentalist ideology to be problematic in that they take on the position that "I only believe things I can prove" but cannot prove the non-existence of God.
So, it is hypocritical of an atheist to criticize the faith/belief of theistic fundamentalism but not realize that they rely on the same exact type of fundamentalist faith/belief in their own atheistic ideology.
