The job of the law is NOT to punish, its job is to discourage ciminal actions. Punishment doesn't help anyone. The goal is for ciminal actions to not happen.
So now finally they know that being gay isn't a choice, science once again proved religion wrong. Does this mean that god makes gay people then casts them out for fun?
jesus approves of murdering doctors!!! praise the lord
but wait... according to all you murderous babble thumpers out there, these embryos don't and CAN'T know christ since they wern't baptised and born again... so therefore, they are, according to your logic, doomed to HELL
Why hasn't Mikey Brae murdered an abortion doctor? Because no matter how much he wants be hatefully murderous, he is not entirely devoid of conscience
dawkins blames christianity on killing a person that a group of people considered dangerous( whether theyre balanced individual is nother factor) america had the death penalty. if you are raised in america knowing that people who commit murder deserves death penalty, youre just being patriotic and have the bible to back you up in your thoughts. just saying...cant blame everything on the bible. People are who they are and many factors come into play for justifying their actions.
"The job of citizens is indeed, out of love, to protect one another (by killing abortionists and any other perceived threat.)"
That is the fact of love. It is an amazing thing, but it is not all hugs and puppy-dog tails. All wars are made possible by the love of our near neighbors and the fear of our distant neighbors. Without love, there would be no war or strife. There would be true selflessness.
Christianity is full of violence because it has no balancing reason against its constant 'love.'
Adam and Eve couldnt of been real... they would of fucked, had babies... then they would of had to fuck the babies.. or wait for the babies to grow up and fuck each other... so wed all be inbred, and retarted and since all our blood isnt connected in the way they are to our relatives it means there wasnt an adam or eve
That's injustice in my opinion(I'm pretty much anti-killing) Paul Hill killed a doctor for killing unborn babies, so therefore he was also killed. WTF!! So much death & injustice in my opinion. That Crazy Christian F**ker should have just been locked away for the rest of his life knowing he clearly disobeyed one of Gods sacred commandments Thou Shall not Kill(I'm not christian btw I'm just using his stupid bible against him).
@RishadM1 or God is an alien and when you go to heaven, you are abducted. Flying chariots and bright lights shining down from the heavens lifting people up? Sounds like an alien abduction to me.
You really have to be small minded if you can not understand Richard Dawkins.. These people are just so damn narrowminded that i get sick just from listening to their bullcrap of their "Justification of all their actions, because of faith"
So religious people aren't stupid, they're ignorant. It's not their fault that their upbringing was tainted by their ignorant parents beliefs and so on. As much as I hate their stupid remarks and claims I can't help but to feel sorry for them...
yeah yeah, that guy killed a man over a fetus, ppl around the world had killed themselves over idealism, science, religion? this is bs, let ppl believe what they want and do not confuse fanaticism with people's behavior towards to whatever they believe (science and religion) I do not believe in religion, but doesn't Dawkins give you the feeling he is defending and fighting as religious ppl do? LET PPL LIVE THEIR LIVES!!!
@narutolame Wow so much arrogance, it is ok, I don't care if you don't take my words seriously just for me misspelling the word people, I stated what I believed and you just gave me the victory for your arrogant and empty answer not even defending yourself properly.
@jonaestrada Geez, calm down. I won't answer your question because I highly doubt either of us is going to change our minds because of what someone says over the internet, so I'll leave you with this: If you want real answers, the YouTube comments sections is probably the last place you should look.
@narutolame Actually I agnostic and I'd like to remain that way. I know youtube is not the answer for questions like this and I also know we have a different mindset when it comes to this matter, the only thing I am saying is that Dawkins really destroys religion (which I don't care) but is the way he is approaching it and how science has become, in a way, Dawkins' religion or doctrine. I really don't see any differences when I hear a person talking about religion and when I hear Dawkins's words
@MrWaddefak actually there aren't. Adaption is quite consistent in natural selection, however evolution from a single cell organism to now is out of the picture, so to speak; possible but just as likely as the bible, they both have their own logical sense.
@jselvrom You're COMPLETELY missing the point of atheism - Atheism states that we do NOT know all the secrets of life, and we can't disprove your fictional being, nor many of the stories stated in your fictional book. That, however, does not mean that they are true. Evolution is quite good evidence that Adam didn't exist, but even if he did, he would have just been one of the primitive forms of humans that existed thousands of years ago, before we evolved into Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
@IAmBadatStarcraft Evolution does not have any good evidence that Adam exists, actually it has none. Adam is a human being and because we know humans exist he is an extreme possibility and to say evolution happened is to say that it is possible yet it cannot be proven, so we must therefore be unbiased at one another and come to terms that a deity at this point is just as possible as having evolved from a single cell organism.
@jselvrom That argument is so flawed and easily refutable that I'm not even going to bother. Watch ANY of dawkin's video series, and you will find that you are just wrong - There is absolutely no other explanation than evolution.
@IAmBadatStarcraft I have watched them all actually... and it's not easily refutable, all dawkins says in his closed-mind extremist way is that religious freaks are idiot and have no logic in their beliefs. All he's doing is saying that what they believe is illogical compared to his beliefs but he's just doing what extremists from anywhere do, stay close-minded and not look at both sides being logical and possible. A deity is just as possible as evolution through single-cell, no refuting.
@jselvrom only the thing is that we have evidence for evolution and no evidence for a deity, and there is no logic in religious beliefs he is right about that
@LazaCDS Evolution doesn't have evidence, rather natural selection for which I'm assuming your argument is following, but that is called adaption in ones own species. In their book Anthropic cosmological principle, Barrel and Tiple lay out ten steps necessary to the course of human evolution, each step is more improbable then the next, they would need a miracle for them to occur. In other words it would give even more evidence for God.
@LazaCDS If you have evidence show me. If you would like to discuss whether there is logic in religious beliefs well he's wrong and I think you might want to indulge yourself in Dr. William Lane Craig, as he says, 'Richard Dawkins is studious in biological studies but when it comes to understanding theology and cosmology he is a lay man'. Richard doesn't really understand theology and it is quite logical. Maybe you should study it.
@jselvrom evolution is backed up by a few science feilds, molecular biology, comparative anatomy , geographical distribution of animals and thousands of fossils, people that dont believe in evolution should just find 1 fossil in the wrong place and prove the whole thing wrong, just find a human thats 500 million years old, no one will do that, evolution is a fact
@LazaCDS Your argument made no sense.... Where you going with that? I never said humans were 500 million years old, I simply stated that they weren't existent yet because God hadn't created them; and there are no proofs for evolution across species from a single cell organism.
@jselvrom well it would be retarded to think that we would find evidence for that because that happend maybe 3 billion years ago and left no fossils, but we have proof of land animals turning into ocean animals , look at the whale evolution, we have tiktalik, we have found a LOT of fossils of our genus homo ancestors, and we have measured them to be exactly in the times where you should expect them to be, i dont know why would you doubt evolution
Weak-minded people need religion to justify their existence. I am not one of those. I can think for myself, make my own decisions, live as I please. I am so grateful to my parents for not brainwashing me at an early age.
Oh, but we do judge value of human life that way. Take the example of a burning building. In one corner, a 5 year old girl, in another, a freezer full of 10,000 embryos. Which would you save? Not even the most immoral bible thumping morons would pick the freezer. Not one. They are purely dishonest and deluding themselves.
It has been shown that as an embryo develops, and grows eventually being given birth to, as a viable child, our value of them as living increases.
straight up.....if i were adam, i would have banged eve too....no apple needed,maybe a rubber though, i mean she looks kinda slutty since shes always naked
@bobby3321 you mean it's alright for a men to be naked but if a woman is she's a slut? btw, the apple story has not much to do with shagging in paradise but it's a nice though.
@bobby3321 but if true, the only person she slutted it up with was Adam, since they were the only ones. I am glad that story isnt true, otherwise we are all the product of inbreeding.
@bobby3321 the sin is in the tree of knowledge ..after consuming the fruit. where god stated , they will now become gods. consuming seeds of seemens vulguarises it. but if creating children is what makes humans godly, then we humans are stupid. kids.. they smell and they stink. nothing holly about making children (and bearing the fruits)
What a hypocrite. It's not okay to kill fetuses, but it's okay to kill an adult? Rubbish! Religion is the most destructive thing humanity has ever created.
@PlayTilTheyBleed He probably thought he was "saving" a lot of people by killing a man who killed fetuses. So to him, he was preventing deaths. Disgusting, but not exactly a hypocrite.
1) Lunchtime discussion on Oxford on the 'Oxford Debate'
2) "Is God a Delusion?" lecture with panel response (unless Dawkins shows up to debate!)
Run, Dawkins, run!! Keep running from Dr. Craig, from debate. That's the best thing you can do to keep your followers.
In case you followers don't know, he's been avoiding Dr. Craig, for he... is afraid to death of debating him! LOL... Even an atheist publicly accused him of cowardice!
Christians not following the sound biblical teaching against homosexuality are "music to Mr. Dawkins ears". 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
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
What's good about science is that everyone who follows it gets the same story, the same natural laws, where as religions have vast differences and contradictions from eachother.
@TheAndiePerson that is the whole pt. of religion. humans can come to a settlement on chemistry, math, physics and so on. but when it comes to economics, government (how the society should run) and so on... humans always come into disagreement that is why god sends down revelation to guide humanity: i know of one book that doesn't have contradictions check out the QURAN on google.
@yaqubali The only problem with presenting a form of religion with no contradictions is that it's just one more form of religion which people mostly accept as each one having it's own truth about the same things. The fact that there are so many different stories is in itself contradictory, and science only provides one story. Parts of the story can change as new discoveries are made, but it doesn't try to have multiple truths.
@yaqubali ok first life is not about salvation, second why do you need a porpoise? are you slave of somebody or need anyone telling you what to do? and third most atheist don't believe, the believe is a condition to religion not atheism?
@alracgabu so u telling me athiest believe this world has no purpose behind it what so ever. why is it that your eye has a purpose, your ear has a purpose, every part of your body has a purpose but you as a whole don't have a purpose. in a similar way is like knowing what the purpose of every part of the car is, except you don't know the purpose of a car as a whole u know what i mean?
@peoman2 well its too broad to say be happy. there are many things people believe that they 'r happy by it. bank robbers and thiefs are happy of what they are doing because is an easy way of getting cash. murders get happy when they murder b/c they got rid of their foe and so on. so i'm trying to say is who defines what happiness.
I always loathed that Weinberg quote. There are no good and evil people. Sure, religion can inspire people to do evil things. But there's no good and evil people.
Maybe a FEW people like that, but the majority of people are more selfish and stupid then good or evil. I wouldn't really call them good OR evil. (maybe slightly more evil, but not by malice so much as ignorance and arrogance.)
So yeah, feh on that Weinberg quote, so inane and simplistic.
I won't argue that the world'd be better off without religion, but it'd be better off without so many things. Might be better off without HUMANS in fact, depending on how you see it. Especially if we kill ourselves off anyway as we seem to be trying to do.
I'm one of the few pro-life Atheists (can't say that I've met any others). I do not think that a fetus' lack of development is sufficient reason to deny its humanity and the responsibility of those who created it. I think abortion is a shitty thing to do, but I would never try to tell others that they shouldn't be allowed to do it.
I should have clarified myself. Rape is a different matter altogether, as the woman didn't put herself in the situation. I don't have statistics, but I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of women who have abortions weren't raped- so I was speaking generally. Many get abortions out of convenience- I think that's immoral. I'm not saying they should be illegal. It's just a shitty thing to do. Even more so, if the other party wanted to keep it.
@depauw2004 I like you lol well your an atheist so you have more common sense than the majority of the people. I miss read your question sorry for the answer lol. In my point of view its better to let people decide if they want a baby or not cause some people might handle it but others might not and the child might have a miserable life. I also believe that if you give birth to the baby and then change your mind than tough luck raise the kid you had time to think about it.
@depauw2004 Actually abortion messes with your body so its not convinient and you can prevent pregnancy with multiple methods now a days. So yeah i agree its immoral but for a stupid way of life or a simple one time mistake do you really think its fair to force someone to carry a child for 9 months and then force them to raise him or her afterwards its a full time job and most young folks arent rdy for it. And also what teenager dosent want sex lol. My friend is 19 and hes a father he was rdy
@vandettta47 im not i could not handle a kid nor do i want to handle one so yeah im for abortion eyes that dont see hearth that dosent feel. Its not yet a baby
@depauw2004 It's a child, not a convenience or an inconvenience. Raising a child is probably the biggest and hardest thing any human can ever undertake. An inconvenience is getting a flat tire in the rain. An unwanted pregnancy is life-shatteringly destroying. It's bad enough that during the times before Roe, desperate women risked death rather than watch everything they worked for get taken from them. Dismissing parenthood as mere "convenience" or not is revolting, immoral, shallow, and cruel.
@depauw2004 "responsibility of those who created it" how 'bout women who get pregnant from being raped? Just wondering what you think about that, seeing as to how they didn't plan on being raped and getting pregnant.
without religion you have good people doing good things...hmmmm can you name someone that has done a remarkable job to benefit human race that did not believe in God Mr.Dawkins? I really hope you're not talking about Hitler and Stalin Mr.Dawkins. Man will do evil with or without religion and that's the truth.
Okay, look, I love watching Richard Dawkin's videos and I think he's a very intelligent man. I think that this Bray guy had a valid point until he started spouting off about scriptures. Is a person's worth only in their connection to other human beings, or their cognitive processes? Is an embryo otherwise worthless because it hasnt gone through the arbitrary process of birth? Not trying to start a huge flame war about abortion, but the argument "nobody was there to grieve the embryo" is stupid

There are real monsters out there who cause suffering to many people, who rob other human beings of their family, loved ones, their homes, their money, their rights, their countries. Demons who cannot be reached by law, because they sit behind it sneering at those who cheer at pickpockets 'geting what they deserve'.
And this guy waged his holy crusade on a doctor who attends to stupid people who haven't heard of condoms and pills. And occasional rape victims who don't deserve the alternative.
My cousins are the great apes,because Dawkins told me so,Jesus loves me this I know because the Bible tells me so,the Bible also said that man was totally unique and made in the image of God and that God gave man dominion over all the others species on earth and it is so !
I would like people to be more aware that a MAJOR THEME OF FUNDAMENTALIST PEOPLE IS THAT THEY SPECTACULARLY FAIL TO QUESTION THEMSELVES, which strongly suggests a lack of introspection. Why?
@Thephyguy you are raving mad. Isn't god supposed to be the creator of all humanity? Why would this creator then pit people against each other? If it wants to be worshipped so badly why wouldn't it reveal it's laws to all the people and not just a few lunatics?
WHY DOES GOD ALLOW THEM TO THINK DIFFERENTLY AND THEN PUNISH THEM FOR IT'S OWN INCOMPETENCE?
Instead of setting it's cattle uppon other 'tribes' it would be much more divine to appear to them too, to show them they were 'wrong'.
@snakeinthereeds Some valid points, but I don't play out the possible thought games of religion, since it is as you said, lunacy. There is no reason to cater to delusions, even mass delusion. You were wrong tho in thinking god is fair, in the literature he says the jews are the Chosen People, and these he give's the commandments. And yes, historically and in the literature, these rules ONLY apply to the tribe, not to others. It's just how the religion is.
@Thephyguy I don't "think" this religion's god 'is' good, it's just what's being repeated to people over and over again. It's a little tricky with Jews being the chosen ones, when their religion is a ripoff of other tribes' religions... Take the ancient Egyptians' Book of the Dead for example...
Jews only believe in the Old Testament, don't they? Why exactly do they denounce the New one?
Even if I was a fundamental evolutionist, that doesn't mean I go out killing people for the sake of evolution (it actually might be reasonable, to assist selection). Fundamental believers in the Old Testament do though, for the sake of killing 'sinners'. And then they even think they deserve heaven over hell, unlike the victims of murder. The victims deserved what they got (death) and now will live in hell for eternity.
Please debate Dr. William Lane Craig in a public debate. He has debated the majority of your fellow atheists and now challenges you. Please stop running and make your stand. As one of the foremost defenders of the Christian faith, Dr. Craig has challenged you multiple times and you have refused time and time again.
@ApologeticsArsenal I think Dawkins will debate WLC when WLC will acknowledge that the criticisms made by people such as JB Pitts in "Why the Big Bang Singularity Does Not Help the Kalām Cosmological Argument for Theism" in "The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science" or by Graham Oppy in "Arguing about gods" and "Cosmological Arguments*" in Nous, are valid criticisms that reject WLC's arguments. Until then, WLC is an intellectual fraud.
The real issue here, I think, is that Dawkins, although pretty well correct a lot of the time, is preaching to the choir. The people who are rational and perceptive enough to understand what he's getting at are, for the most-part, not in need of any convincing. Logical reasoning based on evidence simply will not work to influence someone who's already committed to rejecting it, and of course, these are the people who most urgently need to understand this stuff.
And it gets worse... He himself does say to love children just as others are loved, and yet the "love" shown for the murdered doctor should surely justify that same "love" towards the "child" involved in an abortion.
If humans are made in "God's image", then surely the embryo, which is physically dissimilar in appearance to any living human, does not have "God's image", and is therefore not valuable as a human being, even by that fiction-based line of "reasoning".
@AnHeretick what? ....nobody is a good or bad person even tho good and bad deeds exist, everything someone does is based on the chemicals in your brain nature and environment, free will and absolute morality do not exist,...everyone is equal. so thats my whole point, bad and good exist but people themselves cannot be bad or good
@AnHeretick no rape is still bad,...but the people that do such things as rape or murder aren't bad in my opinion because they are sick, and have fucked up morals. I choose not to use the word evil when describing certain things because of how alot of people view the word evil and negative delusional religious associations with the word and stuff. so rape is still very bad but the rapist is not. thats kinda my whole point here
I am pro life so i will kill a doctor ehhhhh, these people have such double standards. If they are pro life why do they eat animals then. The only reason these people dont care about animals to the same extent is beacuse they cant relate to them. Human ego is what has made religion so important and put humans on a pedestal. We are the Fifth ape with greater intelligence thats all!!
When Dawkins said 'Nobody, brought up outside the faith, could reach any conclusion other than.. barking mad' .. I really thought he was going to say '... Bollocks' ..
@MsRob44444 ahahah maybe God was actually a drunk alien on a bender. Every time i think if this stuff now, I am reminded of the anime GESTALT, where the good and benevolent deity Gestalt was exiled and his name stricken form all record and forbidden from being spoken, simply because be spoke out against the cruelty of the other gods. If there is a God, and it is a sentient being with whom we are capable of interacting through coherent communication, then I would not want it to kill out ofanger.
@AuglereDeRosenkinde it's really... frustrating, how gullible some people are forced to be by various circumstances, for whatever reasons. Maybe some day we will not be like this. But, then again, the -good book- says that the -poor- will be with us always. Mercy, compassion, love and kindness are the best creations, methinks. Whatever claimed to have been god in those olden times was not god, I think. Just an asshole. Real god would not be that way, else somebody's gonna get it when i die.
religion is a big business. where there is a demand, someone will supply. this liberal priest is just trying to survive in today's ever changing world.
Thank you Richard Dawkins, I think you did a wonderful job. Deluded mind is confused without freedom. The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use, even spirituality, or how these Christians look at the Bible. There Ego is constantly attempting to acquire and apply the teachings of spirituality for its own benefit; like most all Christians and Muslims. Christians and Muslims are the big problem with creating the hells on earth.
Where in the bible does it say homosexual relationships/marriages are sinful? Clearly, homosexual acts are illegal according to the bible, but isn't it theoretically possible to be married without sex? I'm sure there are a LOT of heterosexual marriages that don't involve sex anymore.
The torturous suffering and death of Jesus is emphasized in the bible to motivate Roman Christians who were being tortured, burned, and crucified in the 300 years after the Great Fire of Rome (c.65 CE). The three synoptic gospels were written between 70 and 110 CE, and who knows when the epistles were actually written.
@jankendorf I believe you are right. I am an atheist myself and I believe a world without religion would still find other reasons for war. However, without religion I would believe there would be less idoitic viewpoints about science which would result in faster advancement of the human race.
"Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it, you'd have good people doing good things, and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion." -Thats the best thing Ive heard in a while.
Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it, you would have good people, doing good things and evil people, doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion. -Steven Weinberg according to R.D.
Another ironically funny thing here is that in the bible it says to obey the laws of your land... so with sin being disobeying God and his word, you CANNOT justify killing by using the bible or God. You're contradicting exactly what it is you say you believe by killing any one because the law of your land is included in what God says should be followed.
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you." I know a lot of Christians who i would call perfect role models, yet some reck it.
sigh...There are too many extremists in the world today. Why can't they simply live up to the ideals they are meant to believe in: i mean, Islamic terrorists kill in the name of Allah, yet the Quran clearly states that you shouldn't kill...or even this guy who killed a doctor. the Bible teaches that:
People who say things like "Death to religion" dont really get the point.
People shouldnt just do this or do that because someone else says so.
I'm atheist and I became atheist after weighing what I think is closer to the truth.
But a purely logical world doesnt great to me either, I like the freedom to fantasize and be illogical here and there, to be romantic about things that might not be that special.

@jselvrom You're COMPLETELY missing the point of atheism - Atheism states that we do NOT know all the secrets of life, and we can't disprove your fictional being, nor many of the stories stated in your fictional book. That, however, does not mean that they are true. Evolution is quite good evidence that Adam didn't exist, but even if he did, he would have just been one of the primitive forms of humans that existed thousands of years ago, before we evolved into Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
IAmBadatStarcraft 4 months ago
@IAmBadatStarcraft Evolution does not have any good evidence that Adam exists, actually it has none. Adam is a human being and because we know humans exist he is an extreme possibility and to say evolution happened is to say that it is possible yet it cannot be proven, so we must therefore be unbiased at one another and come to terms that a deity at this point is just as possible as having evolved from a single cell organism.

A deity is just as possible as evolution through single-cell, no refuting.

@LazaCDS Evolution doesn't have evidence, rather natural selection for which I'm assuming your argument is following, but that is called adaption in ones own species. In their book Anthropic cosmological principle, Barrel and Tiple lay out ten steps necessary to the course of human evolution, each step is more improbable then the next, they would need a miracle for them to occur. In other words it would give even more evidence for God.

@LazaCDS If you have evidence show me. If you would like to discuss whether there is logic in religious beliefs well he's wrong and I think you might want to indulge yourself in Dr. William Lane Craig, as he says, 'Richard Dawkins is studious in biological studies but when it comes to understanding theology and cosmology he is a lay man'. Richard doesn't really understand theology and it is quite logical. Maybe you should study it.

@jselvrom evolution is backed up by a few science feilds, molecular biology, comparative anatomy , geographical distribution of animals and thousands of fossils, people that dont believe in evolution should just find 1 fossil in the wrong place and prove the whole thing wrong, just find a human thats 500 million years old, no one will do that, evolution is a fact
LazaCDS 4 months ago

Many get abortions out of convenience- I think that's immoral. I'm not saying they should be illegal. It's just a shitty thing to do. Even more so, if the other party wanted to keep it.

@depauw2004 It's a child, not a convenience or an inconvenience. Raising a child is probably the biggest and hardest thing any human can ever undertake. An inconvenience is getting a flat tire in the rain. An unwanted pregnancy is life-shatteringly destroying. It's bad enough that during the times before Roe, desperate women risked death rather than watch everything they worked for get taken from them. Dismissing parenthood as mere "convenience" or not is revolting, immoral, shallow, and cruel.

@WildWolfNick Absolutely. I suddenly realize South Park made an episode on that matter... 'Go God Go'.
It even "features" Richard Dawkins!

"Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it, you'd have good people doing good things, and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion." -Thats the best thing Ive heard in a while.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it, you would have good people, doing good things and evil people, doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion. -Steven Weinberg according to R.D.

Another ironically funny thing here is that in the bible it says to obey the laws of your land... so with sin being disobeying God and his word, you CANNOT justify killing by using the bible or God. You're contradicting exactly what it is you say you believe by killing any one because the law of your land is included in what God says should be followed.

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you." I know a lot of Christians who i would call perfect role models, yet some reck it.

sigh...There are too many extremists in the world today. Why can't they simply live up to the ideals they are meant to believe in: i mean, Islamic terrorists kill in the name of Allah, yet the Quran clearly states that you shouldn't kill...or even this guy who killed a doctor. the Bible teaches that:

People who say things like "Death to religion" dont really get the point.
People shouldnt just do this or do that because someone else says so.
I'm atheist and I became atheist after weighing what I think is closer to the truth.
But a purely logical world doesnt great to me either, I like the freedom to fantasize and be illogical here and there, to be romantic about things that might not be that special.
