@greenrate - the onus is not on Hitchens to prove anything. He listens to and has investigated all the fairy stories possibly to a much greater depth than even yourself, and has said 'rubbish!', quite elegantly i might add, on many occasions. It is up to those making the wild claims of magic invisible men in the sky to prove, not those who don't buy it. Your theory that you buy beef burgers at mcdonalds is equally misguided.
Learn about the subject matter and what is being discussed or stay home. The argument is not about who established what government but Iranian theocracy backed government is full of holes for believing in fairy tales.
"which of us has the bluest eyes and is the most sexually attractive"
-- Hitchens LOL
Olasky gets embarrassed...all of his arguments are debunked by Dawkins and Hitchens and he runs away from the man who questioned him about whether we need God for faith.
theris no devine god! Only a man made one. Only science and eg astrology and the study of the strs ) is god. science although I dont undertsand most scientific concepts, is the only vision that tries to explain why we are here without guilt or malice.
I agree with you, except in saying that science is god, if that's what you were saying. Science isn't meant to be blindly worshiped the way god is meant to be. Science is the name of a broad collection of studies, based on the consideration and deep analysis of empirical evidence to help us better understand the natural world. Science should always be approached with a critical, skeptical and analytical mind, which is the antithesis of religious worship.
I don't believe in the Catholic religion either but I do believe the bible is the word of God. And without it's teachings we would be barbarians. The bible teaches us civil rights, loving those that hate you, doing good for those that want to destroy you, and charity and hope. All this guy is doing is tearing down the good things of the bible with the bad religions who have abused it.
cmf41873. You said,"...I do believe the bible is the word of God. And without it's teachings we would be barbarians".
If that is true then you must also believe that god is a genocidal maniac. Also, if you would do good for those that want to destroy you then you`re nothing but a stupid, weak minded slave. Get real. Religion is not a good source of morality. We`re better than this ancient bullshit.
You haven't really read the bible have you? What you said is severely ignorant to the point of flat out stupidity. The Bible is the single greatest resource for finding ways to justify hate and prejudice and rarely teaches morality. It is stupid and pointless to partake in the belief of the Bible especially in a day and time where people are understanding more and more about our world and universe and also that morality is inherit in a person not taught through a book.
Clearly you know nothing of the Old Testament,which is jewish texts of a rather barbaric,genocidal being which murders its own creation for even the most minor offenses.The OT was the creation of barbaric people from a most primitive time.Its clearky seen in the writings.
looool ye u cheery pick the bits u want out of a book which is pathetic and glady untrue , our morals are inate in us if not we wouldnt be here, its sad if u think u cant be good unless u believe in a god loool
cmf41873: So without the bible telling us what to do, we would be barbarians?I am an Atheist. I am kind to others. I help strangers with no threat of hell if I don't & no promise of heaven if I do. How do you explain or understand that? Why am I not a barbarian?
All of my friends are kind, good, charitable people, many of whom are Atheists. Just by observing their lives, you couldn't tell which was which unless you hid outside their houses on Sunday morning [or Saturday if they are SDA]
In the name of Jesus Christ people were and ARE healed and set free from diseases, drug addictions, depression, and all sorts of "evil' things. You might like the sound of bashing religion or GOD now but what about the times you actually consider praying to him because your in desperate need.
Or because it's easy. It's both convenient and easy to think that the creator of the universe gives a shit about you. But here's the catch.... is it true? No.
As to your belief that Jesus cures people, it's remarkable that Alcoholics Anonomous cures the same percent of people who just give up drinking on their own.
We don't need religion, and the more we have it around the more we risk it murdering us all.
why not you wouldn't have religion if it weren't for the religious people you should the source not the product much more effective that way i personally hate and despise both equally
? ok, anyone here a statistics major? what are the statistics on a living cell (singular) being made purely by chance? look at the years of that. The world is not that old. People who get hurt by a parent or someone else (priest) in the church and they take it out on the entire religion. no lie. why is there still hate twoard muslims? even athiesim can be a religion you don't worship a God who loves you, its a god who you create and you think you can control. For that I am sorry.
I've written a program that simulates the creation of amino acids from random elements. It's not that unlikely considering the extremely long amount time involved.
hihi, classic:) this would really be funny if a whole bunch of people didn't actually take this sort bullshit mumbojumbo seriously. Or maybe dorky, like reciting starwars dialogues or something...
But it is hard to see how a man who has been given a mandate from on High to spread tidings of joy to all mankind can be seriously interested in taking up a collection to pay his salary; it causes one to suspect that the shaman is on the moral level of any other con man. But it is a lovely work if you can stomach it."
..........Lazarus Long, Time enough for Love, by Robert Heinlein
"The profession of shaman has many advantages. It offers high status with a safe livelihood free of work in the dreary, sweaty sense. In most societies it offers legal privileges and immunities not granted to other men.
Hard to argue with a word Hitchens says here . If you aren't deluded.
