New Rule, if you are going to claim to be atheist, stop with the "praying for your safety" or "God help us", figure out your own sayings and stop using religion to express hope that you obviously do not believe in.
I always laugh when the big atheists see something like the earthquake in japan and then say something like, "we pray that you will be okay"... coming from an atheist... seems off. Should it be, "we will sit by and watch you"?
@bluefootedpig What atheist have you seen that said "we pray that you will be okay"? Now there are a lot who say "Goddammit!" or "Jesus Christ!" when something happens, but that's more to do with modern vernacular than a subconscious "belief". And in reference to Japan, you won't see any of us praying, rather just continue living our lives and hopefully donating to the proper charities to help people w/o handing them bibles when they need food/shelter/clothing/warmth, etc.
@calthopian Most common is "God bless them for..." that I hear from atheists. Yeah it is secular, but for people who are so big on the disbelief, it seems odd that they would still use the lingo related to Christian belief. Where is the Buddha damn it, or zues, etc.
@bluefootedpig I have never heard that said by an atheist before, though some may say things like that and when done its usually not the acknowledgment of Yahweh, as you said, its secular, as in the general god, lower case "G". It also has something to do with the fact that most atheists, especially in the west, are immersed in Christianity and carry the cultural baggage that comes with that culture. I have Buddhist friends that say Goddammit and Thank God, despite Buddhism not having deities.
@bluefootedpig Not really, its an outgrowth of the culture in the West. I say things like "Jesus Fucking Christ" or "Goddammit" when I get mad not because I have a "subconscious belief" but because despite being an Atheist, I live in the USA, a country with an overwhelmingly Christian culture, and saying things like that are just products of the culture I live in. Just like Christian Arabs still refer to God as Allah, I'm using the poverty of language to best convey an emotion, period.
@calthopian I have never heard an atheist say they would pray for someone or ask god to bless them. I do say goddamnit and things like that to express frustration or anger, but most certaintly not because I believe in a god.
@s5b678 I know that's what I was explaining to bluefootedpig. I'm just not discounting that there could be Atheists who have that in their vocabulary, in the rest of my conversation with bluefootedpig I convey the same points you did.
Btw, great mix of Greydon and Maher. Everyone who hates because they associate all rap with shitty main stream hip hop needs to go and listen to some Greydon Square and understand the message before they judge.
That the same rational Hitler used. If your not with us you're a pussy and are going to die. The Old Testament God is retarded and is completely counter intuitive towards religion altogether
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Atheism is a Religion, because you believe, you have faith there is no God without proof. When you die, it is only then you see the truth.
Go back to the definition of faith. Faith is believing in something without proof. Religion is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith. Atheism is defined as the doctrine or belief that there is no God. Therefore Atheism is a religion.
@bootylicification *sigh* I hear this error all the time. Sounds logical until you realize that one of your premises is completely incorrect. Atheism is not the belief (let alone the faith) that there is no god. It is simply the lack of belief in such a being (for whatever reason). I have no faith at all, in anything. someone says there is a god, I simply don't believe them.
@bootylicification Atheists are taking the proper position when approached with such a claim. Atheism is the null hypothesis in this case. The burden of proof is on the person making the ridiculous claims, not the one who does not believe them. Atheism is the default position of humanity. You aren't born a christian, you are raised as one.
@bootylicification Hey you with the user-name that screams 'ignorance'. Before you tell us to go look up the dictionary definition of atheism, why don't you go look up the atheism on wiki, like the whole thing and not the just part of the first line (i.e. what you wrote).
@bootylicification You're an idiot. I'm sure you can find some proof on your own that people cannot float on clouds or be invisible. If you really need me to find that proof for you, you truly are a pathetic human being.
Respond to this video... You had better seek the truth now, because there's nothing to see when you die. BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD.
Do you really believe something you read in a book that was written 1500 years ago by the rich aristocracy about what was said by a man who died 500 years earlier, based on word of mouth narratives? If so you're pretty gullible.
@bootylicification Your comment is so asinine and obtuse that it is not deserving of a well thought out and intelligent retort. Therefore I shall simple call you a fucktard. That's correct your eyes do not decieve you, you're a fucktard.
Opinions do matter, but only if they are educated opinions. I was raised Catholic all my life and had started questioning my faith when I got to the stage of Confirmation. I researched the religions and decided that I don't like what religion stands for as a whole. I became agnostic /rational about a year before Religious was out and now I assert myself as a rationalist. Rationalists have as much right to defend their opinions as any Christian, Jew or Muslim so long as they are educated opinions
"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21 verse 8
@leocat99 sooo what your saying is your god is a needy attention freak, then on top that your saying of i dont worship your god and make him feel all good inside he will torch me for eternity.
@caveman1968 - not exactly. God, not "my God" but the God of everyone will separate those who want to be with him for eternity, from those who don't want to be with him. Separation from God is defined as Hell. You will be torching yourself since the choice is yours. God will not force you to follow him.
Quoting from you particular brand of fiction is irrelevant to people who have lost their delusions.
Oh and your god is a dick, if he was real and I faced him I'd tell him so. He's gonna torture me anyway, I might as well tell him what an utter piece of shit he is.
God won't torture you, you will be torturing yourself. Hell is separation from God. He will grant your wish. You will have to create your own light, air, food, water, etc. That could kind of suck for you, I agree.
Seperation from god is NOT a punishment. Being seperated from such a barbaric monster will be a pleasure, plus I'll be with free thinkers and will avoid religious drones like you.
Seen as you haven't proved your god is real your premise is irrelevant.
You might want to start pumping the heavy narcotics, and begin wandering around on the interstate during rush hour so you can get away from the religious nuts like me sooner. If you can't wait long enough for that, you can go live an an atheist paradise like North Korea where it is guaranteed you won't be bothered by any Christian zealots.
I live in Europe so don't know any Christian zealots as our Christians are sane as are the Christians in the other parts of Europe. So I am away from utter fucking tools like you already. Dickhead.
@UnknownUserName4267 - Maybe Europe is now irrelevant because they gave up their Christian heritage? Too bad for you. It's funny, my church has missionaries that evangelize formerly Christian Europe, home of Martin Luther et al. LOL!
@wrjuniper - Next time the smoke from the riots clear, take a look around and then get back to me. How many of your countries are going bankrupt over there? I shouldn't feel smug however, Atheist EUROPEAN socialist wannabes are bankrupting this country too.
Wonder why nobody is saying that the video is distracting from the music. Anyway, love Bill Maher and love Greydon Square but never the twain should meet. Seriously. What did you hope to achieve? I didn't understand where the hell the music was coming from until I read the posts.
jesus was a man trying to teach peace. mankind bestowed all of the majical nonsense on him, its not his fault that religion is so fucked up. he's dead like we all will be.
A man wanting to spread teachings of peace doesn't introduce an eternal torture in hell, fashion whips to fling at people, damn fig trees, or talk to lingual asses.
hes funny... i didnt find it offenceive... im a chirstan so i dissagree with what he said on most things that he said (part from the war thing he said ,jesus message was about peace and love). but people should bealbe to have their own thoughts. and shouldnt be mocked for them
I'll say it again, I love watching Bill Maher, but for him to reduce Christianity to a bunch of fairy tales in the Bible that many Christians don't take literally anyway, and not see the message behind the stories and the gospels, is like being deliberately blunt. I find it a little painful. I don't know many Christians who would say the point of their faith is the ark, and the virgin, and water into wine. It's about loving your neighbor, at least for me it is. Maybe I'm too much of a pollyana
@suzanne217elise what's so wrong about peace, love, and morality for it's own sake? I'm an atheist and I find it easy to be a decent person without the guidance of others.
@apictureoffunction nothing's wrong with that whatsoever, but there's nothing wrong with a faith-driven pursuit of the same values either, and on this one issue, Bill Maher mocks that which he does not understand.
@suzanne217elise Does not understand? His mom was Jewish and his dad was Catholic, he went to church till the age of 13. I think he knows as much about religion as any normal person would.
@apictureoffunction I'm a 24 yr old Christian who has been in and out of Church all my life and back in it consistantly for the past 3 years, and I would not claim to understand religion, let alone spirituality and why people walk the paths they do. I don't know what "normal person" means but no, I don't think Mahr understands the deeper reasons people have for believing in a higher power, and no one has to understand them, just let them be.

Ive never seen this bozo on TV before...If this passes for comedy...I understand why he isnt widespread. He reminds me of a frat house binge party ....( Just giggle at anything from his mouth ..even drool).
he's on HBO, used to be on ABC but he was considered too inappropriate, while really he just wasn't being politically correct (funnily enough, the name of the show was called politically incorrect)
Go crawl back under a rock with your musty old tome and beat yourself with a stick for your impure thoughts, herr troll. I guess in your case it's ok to tell lies, so long as your lying to heathens.
I took the moniker originally because I was an AD&D DM. It became handy later in political forums, when I was told what a "monster" I was for being critical of Marxism and Russian Bolshevism, way back on McSpotlight.
Nowadays it seems a good sarcastic twist on the venom and personal abuse I seem to generate amongst so-called "well meaning" liberals and Leftists.
So maybe my vocation is to help point out and cure your own "cruelty"? How does my "Book" square with that?
Religious literalism was far more popular a century ago, when our economy was growing and when our schools worked. The people responsible for socialist regulation of businesses and overpaid, incompetant, unionized teachers are also overwhelmingly anti-Christian and antagonistic towards religion.
You can use whatever criteria you like in the voting booth. That's your right. So can I.
Nice name "Christian"? bet you are, Jesus saved you and you pick a name like Dr. Cruel.. lol that is typical monderen day "Christian"...lol ok so now we got supposedly sweet loving jesua and his co-hort.... Dr. Cruel. If that dude comes back hes going to kick YOUR ass...lol...read your book again...lol
please, just embrace the normal values of life and set an example. i try hard but when i profess anarchy and i get drunk and fuck my friends mom i seem to loose credibility w him. he seems to embrace his crazy everything earthy is evil mind state. you are responsible for you. existential a little i guess.
Is the church is teaching these things literally?
i always thought the majority were just teaching rationalized views of the bible. If you look at pop culture, in tv shows, most of the characters who are religious have this perspective.
pop culture? XD They are among the most coward people when it comes to confront the "religulous" people. They also the ones who rarely read the bible.
But yeah, they do take things literally out of the scripture. That's the problem with abrahamic religions.
Why do you think gay marriage is banned? Not because of the name, think deeper.
Why do you think women are empowered in islamic countries? Cos of literalism.
Religious literalism has been taken seriously starting from the Nixon time.
I mean, it's easy to understand this phenomenon. We have a dumbing down process in America since 1970s. Kids failing schools, candidates believe that the universe was formed 600000 yrs ago.
Only a minority, who are scholars or at least well-educated, don't take religion seriously or literally. But that's a minority.
the anybody' name is designed to harken back to 911 to give weight to his argument ..right or wrong what about 911 they say, Like yeah but we were persecuted in the holocost....like its a reason to be immoral.
Yea i agree, I can't say that I'm an atheist but neither am I a fanatic. But the problem with either polar end is that their bickering makes them hypocritical. Therefore its hard to listen to what they say with taking it with a grain of salt. I'd say more but I would have difficulty wording it, and I don't want to be in a shouting match either :). Let me just say that for all intents and purposes both sides are mistaken.
only in america, where people who was not brainwashed at the tender age of 5 that jesus is teh shit, are told they are atheists by religious people so they can group them together.
visit a secular country where most are non believers by default, you wont find a hypocrit there, atleast not 50/50
The thing is, I really want to see the vid, but honestly, the music is really distracting and basically annoying. Nothing personal, but I'm sure most would agree it'd be better without.Consider it?
I simply disagree. I lower the volume of the song throughout most of the video so that it's not in the way. I simply don't understand why it's such a big deal. If you just want to hear Bill Maher talk, youtube has plenty of that.
Religion and State must be kept separate EVEN Jesus said it:Give to Ceasar what s owned by Ceasar and to God what s owned by God,so those christians who wants to be involved in politics are making a big mistake and they should not be involved in politics.Remember Satan gives the political dominion to who he wants
i agree, but in some way, it conveys pretty well the anger rationalists, atheists and anyone who's been swindled, lied to or just plain assraped by a priest may feel
It's happening. The explosion of rationalist thinkers is increasing. Still only approx. 20% of the USA, but a waterfall starts with a droplet.
Perhaps it is the logical use of home computers and technology in general that is making people more rational decision-makers. For instance, you don't pray for your computer to turn on - you have to push a button. Therefore, rational technology is making people understand cause and effect a bit better. Maybe.

@calthopian Most common is "God bless them for..." that I hear from atheists. Yeah it is secular, but for people who are so big on the disbelief, it seems odd that they would still use the lingo related to Christian belief. Where is the Buddha damn it, or zues, etc.
bluefootedpig 10 months ago
@bluefootedpig I have never heard that said by an atheist before, though some may say things like that and when done its usually not the acknowledgment of Yahweh, as you said, its secular, as in the general god, lower case "G". It also has something to do with the fact that most atheists, especially in the west, are immersed in Christianity and carry the cultural baggage that comes with that culture. I have Buddhist friends that say Goddammit and Thank God, despite Buddhism not having deities.

bluefootedpig 10 months ago
@bluefootedpig Not really, its an outgrowth of the culture in the West. I say things like "Jesus Fucking Christ" or "Goddammit" when I get mad not because I have a "subconscious belief" but because despite being an Atheist, I live in the USA, a country with an overwhelmingly Christian culture, and saying things like that are just products of the culture I live in. Just like Christian Arabs still refer to God as Allah, I'm using the poverty of language to best convey an emotion, period.
calthopian 10 months ago
@calthopian I have never heard an atheist say they would pray for someone or ask god to bless them. I do say goddamnit and things like that to express frustration or anger, but most certaintly not because I believe in a god.

If the directings for extreme self-denial by the 'prophets'

command isn't real, and that self-denial ISN'T real ! Though
there be mystical events involved in such efforts, of the
many many millions which have tried it, NONE have
succeeded. 'Perfection' is 'Carousel' (Logan's Run1976)

America's protestant christians don't believe in christ's perfection
nor his cross, and the claim they are born fundamentally
incapable of such righteousness is an insane condemnation of their
own god jesus ! The cathollc priesthood claim a knowledge of right
and wrong they infact do not posess, and they claim the power
to forgive and give or deny life they infact do not have.

Atheism is a Religion, because you believe, you have faith there is no God without proof. When you die, it is only then you see the truth.
Go back to the definition of faith. Faith is believing in something without proof. Religion is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith. Atheism is defined as the doctrine or belief that there is no God. Therefore Atheism is a religion.

@bootylicification *sigh* I hear this error all the time. Sounds logical until you realize that one of your premises is completely incorrect. Atheism is not the belief (let alone the faith) that there is no god. It is simply the lack of belief in such a being (for whatever reason). I have no faith at all, in anything. someone says there is a god, I simply don't believe them.

@bootylicification Atheists are taking the proper position when approached with such a claim. Atheism is the null hypothesis in this case. The burden of proof is on the person making the ridiculous claims, not the one who does not believe them. Atheism is the default position of humanity. You aren't born a christian, you are raised as one.

Opinions do matter, but only if they are educated opinions. I was raised Catholic all my life and had started questioning my faith when I got to the stage of Confirmation. I researched the religions and decided that I don't like what religion stands for as a whole. I became agnostic /rational about a year before Religious was out and now I assert myself as a rationalist. Rationalists have as much right to defend their opinions as any Christian, Jew or Muslim so long as they are educated opinions

I'll say it again, I love watching Bill Maher, but for him to reduce Christianity to a bunch of fairy tales in the Bible that many Christians don't take literally anyway, and not see the message behind the stories and the gospels, is like being deliberately blunt. I find it a little painful. I don't know many Christians who would say the point of their faith is the ark, and the virgin, and water into wine. It's about loving your neighbor, at least for me it is. Maybe I'm too much of a pollyana

It's happening. The explosion of rationalist thinkers is increasing. Still only approx. 20% of the USA, but a waterfall starts with a droplet.
Perhaps it is the logical use of home computers and technology in general that is making people more rational decision-makers. For instance, you don't pray for your computer to turn on - you have to push a button. Therefore, rational technology is making people understand cause and effect a bit better. Maybe.
