Richard Dawkins Interviewed by Penn Jillette (5 of 6)

[Surya112]

Homosexuality isn't a fucking choice!

[flightlessamps]

@Surya112

While it isn't a choice, saying it is a choice is not an argument against it. Shouldn't a person be free to choose to live the life they want?

[juren669]

Religion is mankinds worst ever invention.

[TheCapitalistdog]

@juren669

Religion is bad, but I'd say Statism is quite a bit worse.

[WigganNuG]

@juren669 Amen! On the flip side science and the scientific method is the greatest invention of all time.

[ff7walkthru]

each vid has less dislike people are converting

[SuperDrRockzo]

@ff7walkthru Less views too.  The haters just stopped listening.

[KowBoySpace]

I had no idea that the U.S people were so restricted as to what they see....

[akshayzz1]

1 FUCKING DISLIKE LOLLL !!!!

[evildave9000]

I think Penn realised at the end there what a stupid question it was. "Next caller!"

[LdnGirl89]

Imagine a world with no religion (insert picture of twins towers) lol Genius!!!

[JeffWatersRules]

Whats up with the Video here? audio is fine and the Video is going mental

The breadth of Penn's knowledge never ceases to amaze me. We all know Dawkins is smart, but Penn can really hold his own.

[DoctorAxe]

the fundamental irony of this all is...

low intellect = religious fanaticism = inbreeding of (many) MORE low intellects...

we are doomed to exist in minority...

[TheBoxingCannabyte]

@DoctorAxe, don't give up hop just yet, doc. The internet is one of the big game changers of this century and we are only barely kicking this century off!

[StFaceKillah]

"Hey, wait a minute!  That's our show!"

hahaha

[unfad1ng]

if religious people arent allowed to abort they will have more children and thus there will be more religious people since atheists dont get as many children =O

[wannabelegion]

@unfad1ng

lots of people who are religious get abortions if you look at statistics for say, the southern united states

[unfad1ng]

@wannabelegion

yes i know but still

[TheYouthHeroic]

@unfad1ng That is, the typical atheist family doesn't have many children. [: I'm an Atheist and hope to have a large family someday.

[wingsofliberty437]

Even worse than them are the unconscious nihilists. I can't contemplate why anyone wouldn't be interested in existence, where we came from, what is 'I', ect. That's becoming the status quo, drones who are too stupid to even understand faith... it's not human.

[intruder313]

@wingsofliberty437 No answers are better than false answers (religion). Faith is a substitution for evidence and is thre true sign of the brainless drone.

[ThePinkBinks]

Why should gay couples bring up children? Easy answer- cos the people who bred the children couldn't be bothered to raise them or abort (or weren't allowed to abort for religious reasons). Simples! :)

[lewisbreland]

What an interesting conversation!

[freiheitsalv]

@lewisbreland yes XD it is awesome 

[mateo3470]

The mysticism has actually infected the science establishment. Quantum physics is full of redundant philosophical nonsense. Search the following paper:

HOW TO LOSE YOUR GRIP ON REALITY? AN ATTACK ON ANTI-REALISM IN QUANTUM THEORY by Professor Raymond D. Bradley

[GraeHall]

@mateo3470: are you aware of what the practice of science is specifically?

I ask, in all honesty, because were metaphysical concepts and beliefs capable of "infecting the scientific establishement" (unsure what that means) and affecting the accuracy of scientific findings, or diminishing its capabilities then it would have already happened. science wouldn't be science.

It's sole virtue is its robust methodology which specifically defends against metaphysical and cognitive influences.

[MultiUniv3rsal]

So a cool find, the side bar contains the video 'Russian "tame" foxes. Specifically what Dawkins was talking about in the last segment.

Watch dat shit yo.

[timbongo666]

what is "what the bleep"?

[mestrini]

@timbongo666

I think it's an euphemism to "what the fuck"

[coprographia]

@timbongo666 it's this godawful new age mysticism load called "What the (Bleep) Do We Know!?" [no censorship on my part that's literally the title] that pretends to be a documentary examining theoretical physics

[crailtap95]

Penn is in love with Richard.

[CalicoVall]

@crailtap95 Who isn't? ^w^

[babyranks4]

@crailtap95 Who wouldn't be I am too! :)

[pubuman]

Ok.. and the relevance of that comment to this video is?.... "Over educated" hahah

[jazzx251]

"The Rational Inquirer" became "Enemies of Reason".

[cbrusharmy]

@jazzx251 thanks

[CrossCreed4800]

@jazzx251 Thanks, I just tried to look up "Rational Inquirer" and didn't find anything

[Chic01taliano]

@jazzx251 Thank you. I just couldn't find that documentary :-)

[JohnWFern]

Yikes. Dawkins (a Brit) couldn't even get Lennon's quote right?

[pubuman]

@JohnWFern What the deuce?

[JohnWFern]

@pubuman

"Imagine no religion."

[IWantAll99s]

@JohnWFern john lennon?

[xNoReligionx]

@JohnWFern "Imagine no religion."

No wouldn't that be a great thing :)

[SeamusLight93]

@JohnWFern

I'm an Atheist. But religion didn't cause the World Trade Center attack. That was the result of American military presence in the middle east, and our connections to the Saudis and various other factions.

[iteration2]

@SeamusLight93

There may be non-religious reasons for the tensions and animosities leading up to the event (though I think there are probably many religious undertones as well), but I suspect it would have been much more difficult to convince the perpetrators to take such extreme, nonsensical, and suicidal measures without appealing to their religious fervor.

[SeamusLight93]

@iteration2

I see the religion as a means to an end - a tool used by corrupt Saudi barons and other Sharia practitioners to brainwash gullible foreigners into attacking their geopolitical rivals. The religion is terrible and all-consuming, I agree. Meanwhile, let's agree to undermine militant religious fanaticism by taking away their supposed justifications. Then the world can see these lunatics for the infantile barbarians they are, plus saving us billions.

[help4343]

@SeamusLight93

True, but it would be hard to find suicidal fanatical terrorists without religion.

[MrCantStopTheRobot]

@help4343 I disagree. Nationalism and racism have inspired enormous self-sacrifice towards destructive ends. since Bin Laden claims Al-Qaeda was inspired first by US military presence in the Middle East, the September 11 attacks may still have taken place, fueled by nationalism.

[Guitarsthatkill]

@SeamusLight93 Yet the attackers are usually portrayed as doing it for Allah/afterlives with virgins etc

[coprographia]

"Woman is the nigger of the world." That's not so hard to remember.

[timezero2012]

Ah whats the matter your favorite goofy ugly radio host is a bitch ahhh boo hooo suck it fagget and die

[GowanBray]

I wish Penn would speak more fluently and stop saying "ah" so frequently...

[Manik2Magik]

Yeah, but IMO doing radio would be really hard.
