What if your child is going to marry an Athiest? Discussion by "The View" 4/27/09

[BlacknWhitesAlright]

It's good that the discussion is occurring, but like many (most?) people, they - or at least one of them, to be correct - seem to believe that atheism is the belief that one can prove there is no god, that there is evidence for there being no god. That's simply not the case.

[cob4128]

Dumb ass, anyone can marry anyone, but marriage is not easy, I have been married for 19 yrs.myself, If your faith is not the same it is one more obsticle you have to live with. The idea is keep it simple and less complicated. God gave you one mouth and two ears, maybe you should start listning instead of running your big fat mouth.

[newcoyote]

Pure genius

[newcoyote]

If you are so smart I am sure you can do research. Look up Ad hominem.

[Plato86]

Wow that was brilliant you really shown how public education in India has done wonders. Go pull a rickshaw coolie.

[cob4128]

The bible says not to be uneaqually yoked,if these brilliant minds ever read the bible all the answers are right there. It will save a few arguments in marriage, its hard enough

[ragenut2112]

Defense of religion FAILS AGAIN

[0n3sup3rc00ldud3]

I know that there isn't a God.

Atheism FTW!

[blindreaper21]

Whoopi rules!!!

[ElementAlkemy]

True point - religion extremist often have violent hand and out of whack balance of mind. The middle of the road leads to reality still with an abundance of awe and amazement at the powers and mysteries of the universe! Prayer and ritual ARE important - I personally am in LOVE with GOD!

[renofury]

and where is the problem?

[GBart]

Thank you Whoopi.

Never thought I would say that.

[yanasty]

whoopi and joy makes the most sense out of this group. I wish the blonde would grow up.

[mcmoogol]

Wow, these women once again succeeded in giving me brain-aids. Well done.

[songs4simona]

'Let's ask God for more courage...'

When are we going to start putting these people in strait-jackets?

[Plato86]

When we start putting psycopaths like yourself in strait-jackets first. Every heard of freedom of consciousness neo fascist?

[songs4simona]

This is a tip for everyone... you can spot the uneducated by their constant grammaticaly incorrect use of 'yourself'. The conviction that the longer and more formal sounding word must be 'more' right is known as hypercorrection. In this case Plato86 actually wants 'you in strait-jackets first' as the usage is not reflexive (while I would correctly put 'myself' in a strait jacket). It's a useful way of spotting morons, although in this instance Plato86 offers no shortage of other clues.

[Plato86]

Yet the greatest evidence of a fool is the inability to address arguments and a reliance on personal insults. Grammer nazis like song can not reason so they must belittle. Rather sad.

[songs4simona]

I'm happy to deal with any argument you choose, but please don't present freedom of consciousness(sic) like it's some sort of philosophical touchstone when actually all you mean is 'people can think what they want' which isn't particularly clever and isn't even particularly helpful in a world in which there actually are objective truths.

And it's spelt grammar.

[Plato86]

Objective truths such as what God does not exist? Can you prove that or do all you have to offer is absence of evidence for the existience of God? Besides why should society care what people believe, let alone arrest people who believe in a wrong belief. Do you realize how silly and oppressive that sounds?

[Plato86]

Oh and what's not clever is suggestion that religion equal madness, that is very cliche.

[Bleatmop]

I would laugh if these people didn't have so much influence.

[olunda]

Whoopi is right, no-one knows if god exists.

Of course, the evidence for him (and thereby the probability of his existence) are as strong as those for the invisible, thought-controlling, transgendered unicorns orbiting Venus.

Sounds like Whoppi thinks the unicorns have something like a 50/50 chance of existing too...

[niiidar]

THE VENUS UNICORNS ARE REAL!!

[D3mi4n]

USA is what it is because of accepting lot of religious beliefs?

Interesting thesis.

[miramirawatchawatcha]

And here i thought it had something to do with The Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights, boy was i off.

[FuzzyDuck]

Epic fail.

[dmn713]

an atheist is not the opposite of a religious extremist

[JesusSavesAtCitibank]

It's spelled "atheist".

[Stipoon]

Perhaps atheists think there are more practical and realistic ways of improving conditions than closing our eyes and wishing towards the ceiling of our bedrooms.

[nlytend1]

damn...if my parents were so concerned w/ this kind of bs, i would purposefully marry someone that goes against their wishes.

[Shegevara]

lol, the blond is seriously mentaly retarded

[nathaninlondon]

Elisabeth Is irritating as hell. Sherri is an idiot.

[Veleriana]

I knew there was a reason I liked Whoopi Goldberg.

On the other hand, part me is just dying to give blonde chick a wedgie...

[Phantasmvlog]

Arm your children by speaking to an invisible God who lives in the sky and grants wishes, but mostly not!

Bahahahaha Kelly is so funny.

[Jacena]

Despite the joke of a show this is ~ Whoopi routinely stays the voice of reason.

[bawitback]

dumb bitches
