The term "Holy Land" is inappropriate. It is anything but "holy". A more accurate description would be the "Bigoted Land" or the "Irrational Land" or the "Hate Land". But not the holy land. It is so obvious that every one of the separate beliefs is completely fabricated and man-made, yet they are willing to steal, kill and humiliate each other. The holy land is the land of 3 evil religions.
The Old Testament is so stupid, so idiotic, so sick and morally twisted, how can anyone believe it? Well, when that same irrational, prejudiced God tells you that "you are my chosen people" then the desire, the will to believe that as truth "I am better than others because I am God's chosen" is so great in insecure, neurotic humans that they believe it and base their lives and their terrible treatment of others by it.
I can confidently say having lived in Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and the US that fundamentalist christianity is a major contributing factor to the downfall of the US. Fundamentalist christianity is a cancer, and will be the reason for the US to fall further behind the rest of the developed world in terms of educational standards and tolerance within society. Those christians are batshit crazy, intolerant, haters of freedom and free thinking. The modern world has passed christianity. Let it go.
WE should create societies of our own. Tolerant neighbours to the left; Tolerant neighbours to the rights. School that can cater to our children's precious minds, that have uncensored science and history textbooks. Our society would be so tolerant and sound minded. We would fight only to defend our rights, not to persecute other peoples convictions and morals. This society would be an advanced, and healthy society. Surely many would envy.
@AltruisticSelfishnes Not exactly. Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Canada, Japan, etc. are all self-declared "atheist nations"; none seeing much conflict being so. In fact, these nations are noted of being the most "tolerant of nations". They also have the highest IQ's, with the greatest investment in unorthodox sciences. They have great progression because they are not regressed or dictated by religious fundamentalism. They are also neutral, seeking to imperialise no one.
@AltruisticSelfishnes What? Japan is not an imperialist nation today. They were when they conquered Korea, but the modern Japan is neutral. And, the Atheist nations are united with religious nations; It's called the U.N/E.U...
@RedSkyNord Japan, not seeking to imperialise anyone? LOL
I meant hostility from other religious nations if we were a united force.
Right now, small countries that are predominately atheist aren't anything to worry about.
Also, a lot creationists aren't even aware of these statistics. All the atheists coming together to form 1 nation would definitely grab the worlds attention.
WE should create societies of our own. Neighbours to the left; Neighbours to the rights. School that can cater to our children's precious minds, that have uncensored science and history textbooks. Our society would be so tolerant and sound minded. We would fight only to defend our rights, not to persecute other peoples convictions and morals. This society would be an advanced, and healthy society. Surely many would envy.
@shimonpalmer Not even close. What buildings has Dawkins flown buildings into? What rights has Dawkins attempted to take from other people? You're a joke.
@shimonpalmer Don't be foolish, that's a tautology and a catch 22, and is logically problematic. "You can't dislike intolerance without being intolerant of intolerance, therefore, anyone who dislikes intolerance is by definition a hypocrit."
No, he's intolerant of morons and bigots, and that's the extent of it.
@shimonpalmer Tolerance doesn't impress me. Science, evidence, human equality, equal rights for women, minorities, and homosexuals, THAT is impressive. Atheists have been tolerant long enough, it's time we stand up and tell people to their face how stupid and irrational they sound every time they open their mouth. Until religious lunatics learn to keep their superstitions away from children, schools, law, government, politics, we will continue to NOT tolerate them. GG kid.
@gulbirk Fuck you. What a ridiculous statement. At least we're not cutting off women's genitalia, enslaving them and all kinds of other barbaric bullshit. And, blowing ourselves up and killing others. But, their shenanigans aren't allowed to infiltrate public policy like the retarded Shariah law of Muslim Islam. How could you even say "most wicked". At least we don't kill them for their idiotic beliefs. (unfortunately) ha ha
@velcrodogowner No, by wicked I mean spreading ignorant stupid ideas. Killing people is barbaric and cruel. Wicked arrogant ignorant things in the USA shocks me, considering its suposed to be a modern country.
@JohnF30Music I never suggested that Canada is religion free. No country is. But it is very different here. Expressing ones religious views in public in generally frowned upon and we don't have preachers on national TV. The religious right is very quiet. There is little or no debate about abortion, stem cell research etc. And gay marriage is legal. Statistics don't tell the whole story... And btw those statistics are 10 years old. It's probably around 60/40 by now (and mostly catholics).
In urban Northern California, many people are happy, healthy & well-educated. San Jose has one of the nation's lowest metropolitan crime rates. Innovation, entrepreneurship, productivity & wealth are its hallmarks. This very product you're now using was originated there. Dawkins would find it much more secular than most of America.

@RedSkyNord Yes, but that would cause all sorts of problems.
It would be like a totally different, opposing nation.
The religious nations would be hostile towards us.
It wouldn't work out well in the end, someone would end up "accidentally" nuking someone.
Humanity is just too self destructive on account of irrationalism.

People say Dawkins is a "fundamentalist" in his own right, "intolerant," and "smug."
Bear in mind, people, he's an evolutionary biologist. It probably gives him a migraine headache thinking down to many of these peoples' level.
