  • Natural condition - is fear of unkonown,searching for explenations & ignorance with superstition make ppl. belive all kinds of nonsense. Raised in godless environment-don't result in naturaly religious condition - more like natual condition / without god.

    No experience,no anger made me non beliver, but actions,behaviour of religious institutions make me very angry & the whole concept I find ridicuolus, absurd & disgusting

  • I became an atheist at the most calmed mental state I had ever been in my life and when I did everything possible to be closer to this thing called god. The closer I got, the more disgusted I became. And yes, I have experienced 'the power of the Holy Spirit' but this is always misinterpreted by the pious and not logical mind.

  • The religious loved to be lied to and not know it.

  • Praise God!!! I've been looking for this video for months!

  • Atheism is "well funded"? And the Catholic Church is not?

    This guy is clueless.

  • All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all. Isaiah 53:6

    Follow Gods Path!

  • this man's existence is proof that there is no god

  • The proposition that atheist is not a natural condition is BS, I was a natural atheist because, no one say anything to me about God as I was groin up. Your supposition is BS

  • Wow... not even ONE religious or catholic here to comment... why is it religious people are so afraid to respond to these atheists?... people saying that "reason" led them to disbelieve... HOW? I mean how could they possibly explain that something came from NOTHING?.

  • @JesGabBreMar " I mean how could they possibly explain that something came from NOTHING?."

    Atheism has nothing to do with something coming from nothing. It's nothing more than the non-belief in gods. It's something we all share. We all reject various gods and myths.

  • He fails at just 59 seconds in. Atheists do not say "there is no god". Atheism is an absence of a belief in a god.

  • Wouldn't it be cool if there actually was a best-selling book on atheism "nearly every week". 

  • As usual, the Christian argument is to simply state the opposite of the truth as if it were the truth. "Atheists do not arrive at atheism by reason - only from guilt or anger." (i'm paraphrasing) How preposterous! Atheists are atheists because reason simply doesn't lead to the supernatural. We don't hate any god - that would be like hating the tooth fairy. You don't stop believing in Santa Claus because you hate him, and you don't hate him for not existing.

  • Where does the anger come from?

    Seriously?

    In September 2001 the name of "God" was being screamed in praise over the skies above New York. We all know what came next.

    At that moment these bizarre, distorted cults stopped being curious myths from centuries past and became very real and very dangerous threats to innocent people in the present day.

    To have the balls to ask "where did the anger come from" is nothing short of moronic.

  • Wrong on so many levels.....

  • Oh? So, since I don't believe in Stephen King's "The It" do I reject it? No, I simply see it as the work of fiction that it is.

  • Im a islamophobic atheist, i support christian westren culture but im against islam :D

  • REALLY! STILL THE CATHOLIC MASS MURDER HITLER IS COUNTED AS AN ATHEIST THIS HAS BEEN PUT TO ITS FUCKING GRAVE ALONG TIME AGO. than again if you can reason with religious people there would not be any religious people as the writers of house said.

  • what about the televangilists like benny hinn or ted haggard or hovind who steal money from the gullible for their mansions and fancy cars.thanks to christianity,we are 1000 years behind in our technological advancement.Also science has cured many diseases where religion has not.We no longer believe in zeus or aries and I predict that in the next 100 years christianity will be replaced with either common sence or another religion

  • Are atheists who were previously Hindus, angry at all the Hindu gods?

  • How would I reject God if I believed there wasnt one to reject, this guys full of dribble. Well funded, did he really say "atheists are well funded", all the atheist organisations put together wouldnt have 1% of the Catholic Churchs money.

    Reject god, cos I had a bad experience or a problem with my father, err no. Just wasnt brought up religious, it was never a part of my childhood, so when I heard about Christ Krishna and Allah, it seemed silly and I wasnt interested.

  • That is some classy one sided journalism right there!

  • Hold on so if atheists have been around for all time and so has religion... How is it not normal for their to be atheists? Atheists are individuals that only share a lack of belief in god. No atheist has any other obligation to any other atheist so stop grouping us into random stereotypes

  • Ha! A preist trying to attack atheists for a lack of facts, HILARIOUS!!!

  • I don't / can't hate non existing (God) ......but I do hate this guy

  • You don't have much to say because you have nothing to say. you make your living from religion so reason and evidence is bad for business.

  • The reason why past generations believe in god was the fact that they didnt have the answers to many questions about life.Now we do hence the reason why we have many athiests.I only hope to live long enough to see the end of religion.Our species future depends on it

  • you should actually hate god of judaism, xtianity and islam because that guy is simply and asshole

  • Im a Atehist. I dont hate God. How can i hate someone i know dont exist? I have never hated the imagine God. I dont hate Cristians. But i dont like Christians telling me that im going to Hell. have bad morality and so on, so i have to "defend" my self sometimes.. Im not a treath do them. I only says what i mean about the Religion. I have read more than a average Christian. So im willing to say its not true.

  • @SuperAudix If hell doesn't exist.. why does it bother you?

  • The best line. "this doesn't prove that god exists, of coarse"

  • "How does one arrive at atheism?"

    My answer is simple: One thinks.

  • the stupid in this video is hurting now. What a condescending prick. Religion is not a natural condition. We are all born atheist, only through societal teachings are we made to believe in the concept of god. And I did not become atheist through some traumatic event, I simply looked at the evidence, found there wasn't any, and decided to not believe in fairy tales.

  • There is also an appalling condescension. We poor atheists. Obviously unable to think for themselves. Led astray. People who have suffered some great tragedy, done some great wrong and unable to forgive themselves. Throughout this whole video, never once was any argument made to try to prove God. That's all I ask for. Some proof. But never is there anything at all beyond the usual logical fallacies that have been used for centuries, which at best, make a case for deism, not even theism.

  • Try to win over converts? Absolutely. In his way of thinking, this is perfectly wonderful for religious people, but illegitimate for atheists? "Hate God?" How can I hate something that doesn't exist? Does he hate Zeus? Theism the natural condition? Then how come all-powerful God doesn't make sure everyone is clear about the true religion? True, every culture has mythologies, but they are wildly different--even within a culture. Sort of works against the "natural" theory.

  • never believed in god, probably never will do, but im not a bad person, so if there is a god he would be able to see that and would let me into heaven. (but there isnt a god)

  • this is just irritating

  • What a load of crap.

  • This "father" is a failure. Seriously. WTF?

  • The 2 men in this video generalize so bad...it's sad. They are so off key.

  • this father should get back to molesting little boys; he's useless

  • methinks the guy below me is a closet homosexual.

    sexual repression = bad

  • A religion which teaches contempt and demand its ludicrous claims taught to others deserves to be met with hatred, ridicule and contempt.

    There's no such thing as "aggressive atheism" it is more like defensive atheism... religion had it coming for a long time

  • @DrInfidel I will keep you in my prayers, beloved infidel. 

  • The word dumbfuck was invented for him, I guess.

  • This is the dumbest thing I have every seen... I really wish I was there. I wouldnt let that dumbass get away with all his assertions..

  • Are you gay and mildy retarded? Get your retarded atheist homo self out of existence.

  • I am guessing you are a theist? lol

  • No, I'm deist. Nice try kid, but you falied there.

  • Haha, they are pretty much the same thing. You dont necessarily believe in the same things but you believe for the same stupid reasons.

    You might as well be one.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, kid? Why're you an antagonist of God when you don't have any disproof of the existence of Him. That defeats your disbelief.

  • Thats what I meant when I said you think just like a theist, you might as well be one. Do you have conclusive proof that leprechauns dont exist? If you dont, then you better believe they exist.

    The burden of proof is yours dude... not mine.

  • Hey, retard? Your comments have gotten hackneyed.

  • That guy knows nothing about atheists.

  • yeah right so I must also hate Darth sidious and the evil empire ...what a load of Shit

  • Father Tom is a fucking moron. Can he fit any more straw into his head to come up with these fallacious arguments and characterizations? Is anyone that is able to breath unassisted convinced by these arguments?

  • What a crock of shit. How can you hate something you don't believe in? Yeah, I hate the Grinch, Lord Sauron, Colonel Kurtz, and Megatron too. Well maybe not Megatron.

    We don't hate "God", we only understand that there is no evidence to support the believe that god is real. God is in the same category as Bugs Bunny. Just to be clear, we don't hate Bugs Bunny either.

  • For morality you need not look further then the fact that the safest/happiest and most moral countries in the world are SECULAR.

    Game. Set. Match.

  • As too morality - the most moral people I know are atheists. They try to make their lives meaningful by being just and moral and in fact acting like the mythical Jesus told us to act. Religious people only act moral (if and when they do) out of fear of punishment and anticipation or reward. Life to the religious is like kindergarten and God is that mean vice principal with the strap.

  • and one more thing, even if atheism was immoral (which it is not), that still doesn't make religion true. Atheists care about what's true. If I had real proof that God existed, I would believe it, but there is about as much proof for God as there is for Santa Claus.

  • Atheists "hate and reject God"? or are "indiferent to God"? You don't seem to know what an atheist is. We reject the idea that God exists. Period. We think that you people who do believe in him are suffering from delusions and that you are a danger to life on this planet because to you it doesn't matter because you are going to heaven. Every atheist I know arrived at that position through logical and honest thought and observation of themselves and the world around them. It requires intelligence

  • "There are alot of weak people" 5:48

    Yes and you people pray on them....

  • Atheists??? Look at at the trees, look at the stars, look at your mom and dad - you think you came just by random chance? There has to be a divine creator for this all, look at my page and you will realise the answer to all lifes questions!

    I will pray for you all,

    Ramen!

  • The obvious answer (obvious to any atheist anyway) is: So where did your God come from? God does not answer the question of where we came from, it just moves it back one more step. If you believe that your complex all powerful deity has always been there then it is far less incredible and far more believable to accept the idea that the stuff from which we came was "always there" (bypassing all the complex issues of time and matter brought about by current quantum physics).

  • Well I would answer that the FSM did not come from anything, was always present, he is beyond time and existed before the big bang. But there has got to be a stopping point or there is an infinite regression, the FSM is that stopping point hence a regress is no longer needed. Regresses give everyone a headache.

  • You can just as easily remove God all together and just say that whatever was around before the big bang always existed but will eventually be explained scientifically but is not a god with a purpose or a will or an intelligence. You seem to have given up any reason for God to have existed after the big bang, good for you, half way there!

  • ''PRIESTS''

    make the tongue massage on kid dicks

  • I don't understand the mean comments here. Everybody is different and we all make different choices. I believe in God because I believe I was given faith. Those who don't have a different view - no need to be angry or insult anyone. I don't call atheists names and you should not call a priest names either. Respect should ALWAYS come first no matter what religion, race, nationality or sex you belong to.

    PEACE 2 ALL!

  • Most atheists don't mind God. It's his fan club we have a problem with.

  • Wow, this guy is so full of shit.

  • Good video

  • Giving money to your church is not charity, your stats are skewed by this giving. These stats do not take into account the exploitation of such funds in order to further your belief systems...

    Oh, and two names. Bill Gates US$30,000,000,000, Warren Buffet US$35,000,000,000 - the two largest single contributions both from atheists.

  • Wow, and what marvelously original morality arguments... what a liar. Now you're just lying through your teeth. Misrepresenting your opponent's position is not the same as rebutting it.

  • Fear of the dark is the natural condition of all human beings. It doesn't mean that when you hear a bump in the night that you are about to be attacked by a lion. It's the natural condition of humans to see agency where none exists, faces in clouds, stucco, shadows.

    Oh and well done on "repackaging" the case against creationism, and re-appropriating it against atheism, very original.

    AND

    Dawkins says labeling a child catholic is abusive, not bringing them up in a catholic way.

  • i heard priest like sucking on little boys penis. father tomas williams sucked more kid dick than micheal jackson.

  • you sucked more dick then both combined , you fucking fag

  • you sucked both there dicks

  • hahaha what a comeback...... , fucking dumbass , your daddy fucked you in the brains that is why you are so fucking stupid

  • god would think you were a fucking nigger stain. go kill your self you fucking kyke ass jew

  • shut the fuck up you retardarted somalian nigger , go suck some camel dick u fucking monkey

  • there are no niggers in albania , you fucking ignorant cunt ,go suck your dads dick or your boyfriend's dick you fucking american fag

  • i love how the preist tries to psycho analyze atheists. so what are u a priest or a psycho analyst. hahaha

  • so neo atheists = informed atheist. dumbass.

  • I just love it when religious people start talking about facts.

  • "Deep seated anger against the divine..."

    No, the anger and unrest stems from negative experiences with organized religion and those proponents who encourage its lies and authoritarian rule.

  • Atheist do not hate God, they don't believe in God.

    Can you hate a person that isn't real? Fuck no you can't!

  • "Religion is found in every civilization ever known" Really? What about all those nomadic tribes that believed in spirits that controlled fire, water, plants and animals etc.. you think belief in "God" is natural yet these people believed in MANY gods? What is more natural and easier to explain, is that these early people, did not understand the world around them, and had to imagine (that means make up by the way) how the world around them could work the way it does. That is natural.

  • The topic is Atheism, so you interview a priest?

    If the topic is buggering little boys, then interview a priest.

    Asking a priest to comment on Atheism is like asking a Nazi to comment on Zionism.

    Give me a fucking break!

  • Or like asking an atheist to speak about spiritual things?

  • 1711Acts:

    Fine with me.

    I would much rather deal with reality than made up nonsense anyway.

    And since reality includes the devastatingly harmful effect that irrational thinking has had on humanity, I will continue to criticize such a childish, self important worldview.

    When your 'spiritual matters' stop polluting the real world, THEN you can claim immunity from logical criticism.

    Latest example: Condoms make the Aids problem WORSE???

    Again. Give me a fucking break!

  • Typical of an atheist's argument...

    First the insults that do not advance your position and then more insults that accomplish the same.

    Can you prove only one reality? No since our scientific process is limited to the natural world.

    Atheism is less polluting than theism? Explain Stalin and Mao please.

  • 1711Acts:

    1. Belief in a magical sky daddy is childish.

    2. Belief that the whole universe was created for us personally is the definition of self importance

    3. Since the reality that we inhabit is the only one that we CAN prove, I will accept it. If proof of other 'realities' (whatever that's supposed to mean) becomes available, I will change my world view.

    Lack of belief is the default position.

    If you want me to believe that your god (or any god) exists, PROVE IT.

  • 1. Name calling - epitome of childishness.

    2. Men of reason/science stating everything came from nothing without proof - definition of hypocrisy.

    3. There is a mountain of evidence that there is other dimensions, but you discount that evidence because it doesn't fit the natural scientific model which is limited to physical reality.

    Theism is the default position. A man on an island since birth would search for something outside of himself - he knows! U still haven't advanced ur position.

  • 1711Acts:

    1. If you bother to read my posts, you will see that it is your BELIEFS that I label childish and self important.

    2. Men of 'faith' state that everything came from nothing because a magical being spoke an invocation. Of course, with no proof.

    This also does nothing to explain where the magical sky daddy came from.

    3. I accept that there are mathematical constructs in physics which seem to indicate the possibility of other dimensions. as to your "mountains of evidence", bullshit.

    cont.

  • 1711Acts: cont.

    Re your man on an island:

    People do search for answers. It is in our nature.

    An ignorant man might very well invent magical explanations to try to explain the universe and his place in it. This is where religion comes from. But why do you assume that he would invent your god?

    Today we have a better way of explaining what the universe is and how it works. It's called science.

    Proof that it works: the very computer in front of you.

    Again as to your god, PROVE IT!

  • proof of other realities: strings theory and the implications of 10 dimentions. Just saying, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

  • wukester:

    "Just because you don't see it..."

    I have never seen an atom. I believe that atoms exist.

    I have never seen a god. I don't believe that gods exist.

    The first case is supported by evidence and reasoned logic.

    The second is supported only by faith, and so I reject the second case until there is EVIDENCE. If there were, I would change my mind.

    I don't think that this is unreasonable.

    If someone wants to argue for the existence of a god or gods, they must provide evidence.

  • Nonviolence. People like Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi have choosen the path of nonviolence. I stress the word "nonviolence" not pacificism. Pacificism is not an action, like turning the other cheek, while nonviolence is an action, like a peace protest, or what King did against discrimination. Nonviolence is initself an unnatural cause. Every language throughout history doesn't have a proactive word for it, other that the negation of violence, like ahisma, hisma beeing sankrit for harm

  • and ahisma being without harm. Violence is a natural thing and nonviolence unnatural, or better yet: supernatural. Just go with me here. Concidering the natural action that Gandhi or King would have made in the scientific sense would be to fight against oppression. They and they did without fighting. Their actions were by choice. True indeterministic free will. Free will does cannot exist without god. I would like to go on but you can find the information about indeterminism elsewhere, reply if

  • you chooose.

  • wukester:

    I ask for evidence to support the existence of your god, and you reply with a rambling diatribe about nonviolence and free will.

    "Pacifism is not an action"

    "Every language throughout history.."

    "...nonviolence unnatural, or better yet: supernatural."

    "Free will does cannot exist without god." (my personal favorite laughable comment)

    Facepalm.

    Ridiculous unsupported assertions are not evidence for the existence of a magic skydaddy.

    Stop wasting my time.

  • More evidence of your choice to blindness. The evidence is there, you choose not to see it. And yes true indeterministic free will does not exist without a supernatural force. I don't want to talk to a pompus ass about is so I'll just tell you to read up on it. Men of the Infinite understands that, you could watch his shit on it, and he's on your side, so it's unbias. In addition, check out the book: Nonviolence: 25 lessons on the History of a Dangerous Idea.

  • I should have stated the fact that nonviolence is evidence, from my perspective, of the supernatural. I also understand that it could be just the next stage in human evolution, I can acknowledge that, but that doens't mean it's true. If you get anything from this, it is that, I know nothing, and neither do you, but eveidence of our beliefs is all around us. We can choose to see them or not, but nothing is necissary, only implied. Sorry I thinki 20 times faster than you.

  • Atheists = Immoralists?

    I am atheist, but personally consider myself a institutionalistic humanist, just as many other atheists. Christians have the ten commandments, we have the obligation to follow non derogable fundamental and univeral human rights as a result of human experience and advancement.

  • I always find it interesting when a theist tells me why I'm an atheist...

    Of course, theists are happier on average. I also expect that hetrosexuals were happier on average than homosexuals 50 years ago.

    Facing the intolerance of the majority does little for happiness unfortunately. Intolerance of course doesn't come from all theists, it comes from a few and is quietly accepted by the majority.

  • this guy doesnt think very much outside his own box...

  • Ridiculous and laughable.

  • Did that priest just complain about books that misrepresent history and present obvious fallacies as facts? Wow that guy must be really pissed off at the bible then...

  • You find religion and the belief in God as an attempt to explain the unknown in all cultures throughout human history because there was no modern science then! But we have it now, so start looking forward!!! Believing in God it's not at all a natural condition. It's natural condition for human beings wanting to understand, even when the only thing there's to understand is that we may never understand it all. But for that, in case you don't like such conclusion, God of the Gaps comes in handy!

  • This is insulting.

  • this guys argument is completely faulty. What an idiot

  • The biggest falsity of all. Atheists hate god. We can't hate something that doesn't exist. This is really mis-leading that we had father anger issues.

  • Everyone here should watch the British documentary 'The Trouble With Atheism.' Search for it here on youtube. It is very interesting!

  • LOL...there's money to be made in being an atheist?

  • Ironic how a member of a church, you know the ones that are tax exempt, speaks about being it in for money.

    Want a way to not pay taxes in a legal way? Make up your own religion and form a church! It worked for Hubbard and it will for you!

  • *Vomits uncontrollably*

  • Wow, that´s pure stupidity!! This kind of people actually help to convert belivers to atheism :-D

  • So much crap in this one. Can only be bothered to pick on one very quick thing: "They're very well funded"....compared to whom!?!? Moron.

  • seriosly..? come on..

  • I love how these people state how almighty this God bloke is, but then state that by reading around 200 pages created by an atheist author a person can be so easily 'converted'

  • so atheism isnt a natural state of mind and theism is because people believe in god for a very long time? well that or sinds religion came alng they started to kill off atheists and other peolpe who downt share their point of view like pagans...

  • omg these guys are hillarious...hillariously stupid xD

  • when they start to hate god they arent atheists anymoe, and evangalical atheists!!?!?!?!?1.......HAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAH­AHAHAHAHAAA xD

  • lol ! Atheist don't hate god ! They think it doesn't exist !

  • I just hate it when christians think they know what atheists believe, what made us atheists in the first place and so on.

    And the notion that we are atheists becourse we "hate god" is just stupid. Some of us might hate the churches or stupid priests like this one but a person can not hate something he/she dont believe exists. It´s a contradiction by definition! Do christians hate Zeus???

  • This video is full oh shit they say atheists are greedy. Ever heard the saying that if you want to get rich create your own religion.

  • Every week? Is he serious?

  • What a load of crap, thats one book I won't bother looking into.

  • I'm having trouble taking him seriously. I'm sure he some sort of point but I can't stop thinking how hawt he is.

  • 20387

    Even though I'd never measure up in a debate with Hitchens, I'd love to sit around with him & shoot the breeze, so to speak!

    In fact debating him wouldn't really make sense as I see eye-to-eye with him on just about everything. Even down to his take on women's sense of humour, which has got him in trouble with arch-feminists, but which most thoughtful people applaud.

    Oddly enough, my political journey mirrors his too. From the firebrand left to reason, where ideology dies!

  • Hehe, well, I guess we'd have to find something you two disagree on, and then you could have an epic battle!

  • That priest is a retard.

  • grymyrk

    'The priest a retard'.

    Methinks you may be onto something here!

    He's pretending to be light-hearted when he's seething with anger! I mean the guy's trying to take on Christopher Hitchens & Richard Dawkins, for crying out loud!

    You do not take on Hitchens, as Dawkins once said, unless you're prepared to be eaten alive! You just don't. Unless of course you're a masochist, who enjoys pain, public humiliation & self-abasement!

    The definition of a believer, by god?

  • How about:

    clearvision12 vs. Hitchens.

    = Epic :P

  • 20387

    That's got to be one of the most flattering comments I've ever got, other than when my 17 year-old daughter, now 18, told me in a fit of delicious pique in front of her friends:

    'Dad, you're a disgrace & you're totally embarrassing!!'

    I'd just got up from a nap, looking like an unkempt hippie. I walked into our living room on my way get some coffee & there she was lounging around with her friends.

    'Sorry pups, I'm not as perfect as you'd like me to be, I know...'

    Epic!

  • This individual was O.K till he open his mouth. I am an atheist because my parents did not talk to me about god. may parents did not indoctrinate me with bullshit, so I never concern myself with ferry tells. Therefore this person start his interview talking out of his ass. He does not understand way we do not believe, mos likely he was indoctrinated therefore he will never understand our way of thinking.

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • I disagree with Father Williams' assertion that athiests are "created" from an intense hate for God, or out of feeling betrayed by God, etc. I am an athiest b/c I have never thought of theism as an intelligent concept. Belief in an all-powerful deity(ies) has never made sense to me. Hate has never played into it for me. Same goes for all my athiest friends. If anything is a "turn-off" about theism, it's believers who push it on you, and use it drive every facet of their own lives.

    Any thoughts?

  • Is this for real? Come to think of it, it's not even worth the effort.

    Self-congratulatory clowns. Fools of the first rank. And consummate liars who twist the facts to suit their silly agenda.

    I would've had no difficulty in shooting their notions & arguments right out of the water. Smug prats like these are their best publicists & worst enemies.

    Hell would be awaitng them if only it existed.

    Mind-numbing hubris! And blasphemers in the true sense of the word!

    The devil's spawn.

  • xm8pro

    Listen you little leech, be gone!

  • yall need to chill. xm8pro, you need to chill with the profanity. and clearvision12, its not your video, you don't need to watch it and insult.

  • poptarstyle

    Yah sir!

    Oh, and fuck you, for good measure. This being a public forum--the whole point of the exercise I think--,I'll fucking go where I want & say what I please.

    The smug, self-deceiving, lying deadbeats in the clip don't deserve respect. All they merit is outright mockery & ridicule.

    Over & out.

  • Legend.

  • 20387

    If you're replying to my send-ups, then I humbly accept your thumbs-up!!!

    My only concern with your 'Legend' comment's that some of the less able posters, of say Christian persuasion, may not even see the light irony, even if they mistakenly think your comment's directed at the clowns in the clip!!!

    Thank god for humour! A god who's strictly metaphorical & not real in any possible sense of the word! The word god's so inspirational if taken on its terms, as just a word!!

  • "self congratulatory clowns"... You got that right! This could almost be a parody made by atheists, lol. Almost!

  • kalsolar

    Yeah, spot on!

    Peace.

  • Has this guy ever met an atheist?

  • I think most people have an inherent feeling throughout their life that they are atheists (or at least deny the existence of god) before declaring it.

  • This guys arguments hold no ground.

    On the moral thing: Good people will do good and evil people will do evil but only religion can make good people do evil. Religions people only do good because they have to, atheists do good because they have the freedom to. Who is more moral? The atheist.

  • the simple solution would be a humanist, know that humanity is in control of it;s own fate and that we can achieve so much if we put ourselves to it. Anything that is 'immoral' in the traditional sense would in essense could be seen as an inpediment to greatness and success.

  • The priest is correct. Belief in God is the natural state of mankind. These new neo-atheistic books are a terrible perversion of history.

    It is scary that people might read these books and think, "Oh really? Ah, I didn't think of it that way."

    We must at all cost prevent our neighbors and children from coming in contact with new ideas and being led astray!

  • "a terrible perversion of history."

    The bible would fit that description too.

  • Humans are given to believe in all manner of superstition and witchcraft and yes, gods and goddesses. Just because we are inclined to believe these things does not make them true. It's embarrassing that I even have to point this out to you. And so you know, I'm going to do everything in my power to "lead astray" many people I come into contact with. It's something which has to be done because your religion is a terrible thing in addition to being false.

  • This priest it straight out of the middle ages

  • "You wont believe it, my husband is a changed man. He stoped internet porn, he is not fooling around with other woman anymore, he is a good father, he shows up to work in time."

    Why?

    He became an atheist!

    lol

  • by this guys logic we should accept faeries until they're disproven by the afaeriests - so rediculous - evolution explains the diversity of all life we know of, cosmology has determined the universe needed noone to step in all the way back to a fraction of a second after the big bang- if there really is a creator god, he/she's awfully lazy and not really needed at all - just the idea of worshiping anything is quite perverted if you think about it

  • That's insanity! I doubt God not because he does not benefit me, but because I doubt him for the very same reason I doubted Santa or the Easter Bunny. He was a fine imaginary friend in my childhood years, but now, it's time to grow up.

  • 1.) There is no one way atheist become atheist.

    -atheism is the dis-belief in god(s) so there is no "reject" of anything. Sounds like the father needs to learn a little more about the subject, or just quit using the old parlor tricks of misrepresenting true definitions of things. After I heard him utter a few words I already knew he was going down the wrong road on his rebuttal to "new atheism". thats a funny label too. :)
