Not true at all most that I know love the chance to spread information and answer questions, to even those who renounce God altogether. If anything its persistence, not cowardice.

And Under The Cherry Moon SUX!!!

And if you think about it atheism is a cult, i mean if its people who dont beleive in god why give themelves a name?
@hcvang The difference being that Jesus existed. Harry Potter doesn't. ; ) God bless.
And yeah, I know that's trolling but hey, if you act like an asshole about something people can't change, why do YOU deserve respect? I wouldn't respect someone intolerant against religious beliefs any more than someone who was a racist or a homophobe. And much like Mr Smith, I'm Catholic. Think it through before you post this bollocks.
@Guest1001 Sure he does. Harry Potter exists the same way as "jesus" does - in a book. If you're referring to the old skeleton that was found, there is no proof of it being anyone named Jesus, José, Harry, Peter, Johnny or Louis.
@hcvang Didn't even know there was a skeleton found but I would be astounded if there was; I'm not expecting you to know a full biography about Jesus -- I certainly don't know all the details -- but I would assume someone so willing to talk about such a subject wouldn't be so stupid as to lecture others while being uneducated on the subject him/herself.
Like I said, think it through before you post this bollocks.
@Guest1001 Actually, there is practically no evidence that anyone named Jesus of Nazereth ever existed, and even less that he was divine, came back from the dead, multiplied loaves or fishes, healed the sick or really did anything else other than say something that the Romans interpreted as sedition and get executed for it.
@Guest1001 Even if these few thin slivers of legitimacy to the Jesus myth are true, it doesn't make him any different from countless other religious crackpots that existed throughout the Roman empire at the time, and countless other wannabe rebels that they crucified. Religion isn't "something people can't change," I changed from being Christian 14 years ago. Religion is not like race, it is an ideology, and ideologies change.
@yerk3 I didn't come to get into a religious debate. I came to debate the morals of insulting the beliefs of others.
Taking the point about religion not being something people can change, does that mean you could start believing in God tomorrow? Of course it doesn't. You couldn't believe that was true any more than I could stop believing it was true. We couldn't believe or stop believing that any more than we can believe a triangle has four sides. Yet I don't insult your lack of beliefs.
@Guest1001 There is nothing immoral about "insulting" an idea just because some people believe in it. If someone believes that the earth is flat, should their belief be respected? Hell no. And nobody would raise an eyebrow if someone brutally pwned someone else's deeply held belief that the world was run by 12 Jews either. But religion somehow has this immunity, where no matter how irrational, hateful or wrong it is, nobody can question it without being called a bigot.
@Guest1001 Human beings should be respected. The crazy ideas they get into their heads, not so much. If you didn't want to get into a religious debate, you shouldn't have brought up religion.
As for a person's religious beliefs being beyond their control, what about other beliefs? If someone is a racist, should their racism be respected, because you yourself couldn't choose to start hating black people tomorrow?
You are 100% right my friend, its nice to know there still are people like you and the commenters above you that still know how to use the brains in there heads. Thank you.
@Grevener So much like atheism with Richard Dawkins.
1. His book? The God Delusion.
2. Giving money? The campaign to have atheism banners on London buses (and "the out campaign", which is disrespectful to homosexuality since there's no potential for rejection over being an "out" atheist).
3. Leader? Dawkins.
4. Symbol? The Out campaign symbol or Invisible Pink Unicorn logo.
On the other hand, I have nothing but respect for atheists mature enough to avoid being critical of religion.
@0Gimmick I was responding to someone else. Maybe you should read their post before judging mine.
1. Yes.
2. For the reasons I just said. Can't you read?
3. Oh please ... more atheists follow his word than Catholics follow the Pope's.
4. 1st, read it again.
2nd, no, I like anyone who respects the beliefs of others, no matter what their own beliefs are. I feel the same way about religious people who force their beliefs on others who I'm sure YOU bitch about regularly without "dealing w/ it".
@Guest1001 A lot of atheists like Dawkins because he happens to be correct about a lot of things, and is really good at articulating what a lot of us have been saying for years about religion, and has the science to back it up. It has nothing to do with dogma, nobody is worshipping him and some of us even disagree with him about somethings. For instance, I prefer Howard Bloom's theories about how humans evolved empathy to Dawkins' "selfish gene" theory.
@Guest1001 The Pope, however, must be followed, whatever he says. I've never seen a Catholic say "well, the Pope has a lot of good ideas, but I have to side with the Dalai Lama on the topic of Enlightenment. There is a big difference between "respect" and "never questioning." What you're asking for isn't respect, it's deference and subservience. Sorry, too many people died for the right to question your irrational superstitions for us to give it up just because you say so.
@Guest1001 Where are American atheists "forcing their beliefs" on anyone? If anyone is "forcing their beliefs" on anyone, it is you, wanting to promote your religion but never have it be questioned.
@Guest1001 The God Delision is one of many books that show the inherent inconsistencies and detrimental effects of religion, which the religious have traditionally kept under wraps, and which the non religious have been to timid to tackle out of your over-reaching concept of "respect." If respect means never questioning anything, no matter how obviously wrong, then I'm happy to be the impertinent bastard who subjects your precious dogmas to the cleansing light of reason.
@Guest1001 Actually, in a lot of places, there is a very distinct "potential for rejection over being an 'out' atheist." Namely in the South, or really in any fervently religious household. Also, can you imagine an atheist being president today? In order to be electable, all candidates basically have to at least throw in some lip service to some vague religious affiliation. Can you imagine the fit the Tea Party would throw if Obama were to admit that he was an atheist? They'd lose bowel control!
@Guest1001 I have been an atheist since I was 13, I'm 27 now, and I have never once seen the "invisible pink unicorn symbol." I don't even know what the "out campaign symbol" looks like. Mature people criticize things which are wrong. That's how people better themselves, by seeing what they're doing wrong. If someone is repeatedly doing or saying things which are flat out wrong, you aren't doing them any favors by keeping your mouth shut out of fear of hurting their feelings.
@yerk3 I'm going to try and sum up all of your comments in a single one so I'm sorry if this seems like a lot of non-sequiturs.
I'm glad I'm not so arrogant to think I'm a suitable judge of right and wrong. It's hypocritical for atheists like yourself and Dawkins to judge religious people who do the same when you do so yourself. Yes, I can imagine an atheist as President but can't imagine a Catholic comic like Frank Skinner being cheered for insulting atheism as so many atheist comics do.
I'm in the UK so don't know about the Tea Party. I'm not saying my beliefs shouldn't be questioned in the slightest but don't think it should be up to people who don't care about causing offence to do it. Dawkins has got so much stuff wrong in The God Delusion that Alistair McGrath filled a book with the inaccuracies and his counter-argument (more politely than Dawkins' did) and Dawkins' response was to childishly insult his beliefs.
It's very common for Catholics to go against the Pope's opinions and you mustn't know very many if you don't think any of them question it. That, along with your comment of me "forcing beliefs" upon you shows how fervently you cling to stereotypes rather than do your research so who are you to accuse me of forcing beliefs on anyone? All I ask is the same respect I show you and if you equate that to subservience then it speaks volumes about your pettiness
@Guest1001 When you demand the right to say something, then try to deny others the right to question it, then yes, you are asking to "force" your beliefs on people. Also known as having your cake and eating it too.
@yerk3 You're STILL going on about this? Alright ...
You're obviously just a troll because I specifically said that religion SHOULD be questioned. Read comments before throwing out random criticisms (and even if that were the case, it wouldn't be forcing anything on anyone. Not questioning something and forcing others into doing something are two completely different things).
@yerk3 Secondly, I didn't bring religion up. In case you didn't notice, the video you're posting on mentions religion. And yes, you should respect people no matter what their ideas. Are you so petty that you yell "no! I'm right!" like a child when faced with other ideas? So do you refuse to respect philosophers for having different ideas? Or even the mentally ill?
As for the "respecting racism" analogy, you tell me: you're the intolerant one out of the two of us.
@Guest1001 Pointing out to people when they are wrong is not "petty." Demanding that your beliefs never, ever be questioned is. If all people's ideas should be "respected," then would you respect Nazis? Flat Earthers? If there were people alive today who believed that the common cold was caused by witches using dried gypsy tears and hair cut from the head of a ginger at Midnight on All Soul's Eve, would you be inclined to "respect" their beliefs? Be honest now.
@Guest1001 Philosophies are judged on their merits, so if a philosophy is morally and logically sound, then I would respect it, but if it was horribly flawed and morally repugnant, then I would have no reason to respect it.
@BloodySerpent I forget who said it but someone said that Arguing evolution with a creationist is like a Master Chess Player playing chess against a Pigeon. The pigeon will Knock over the pieces, Crap on the board, Fly away and call it a victory.
once a cult gets over 1 million people t is a religion, every religion is a wide spread popular cult, once a dude spilt the remains of a lamb, the whole human race went to crap
What the hell? Jehovah's Witnesses don't sell anything. They're not sales people, the're preachers. Anyways, I guess this is a prime example of Celebrities and Religion not mixing in a positive light.
Wow dude you are WAY OFF. JWs do not sell a religion. They DO NOT charge anything, No weekly fee or nothing. Unlike most religions, money is not something that is sought after here. In fact, that's one way you can identify hypocrites in the form of Christians, they charge you for their teachings / sermons. Where are you getting your info? You're just so off that I am positive you made that comment out of ignorance and assumptions. Can't blame you though, still, research before commenting.
What do you think the church does with those collections? Gives them to the poor? Joseph Smith was a lying, cheating businessman. He was no different than L. Ron Hubbard.
Agreed but what do those guys have to do with JWs? I think you're confused here? Anyways, for those out there that believe in the "Bible" there is no competition. It's pretty much a joke to compare any other Christian religion to JWs. JWs actually get their knowledge from the Bible as opposed to making it up and saying what people want to hear. Just stop it. It's not even worth arguing over. It's like if "Tyson fought an infant."
your way off man.they are pretty much the only christian religion that doesnt have a manditory collection.just because all other christian religions do doesnt mean that JWs do
A man - a half-cocked filmmaker - making a living off a worldwide star. Kevin Smith, chatting to fanboy students. It is so, so sad. Kevin Smith *sir*, you deserve credit for making a living out of making so little
I get Clerks, fella, one of my top ten films. I don't get the endless crap since then - and the Q+As, the crappy merchandise and the fanboys keeping this guy in cash
How does a man glorfy himself so much in this world just because he's a "Popular" singer? Prince then goes about losing all shared reality, not that he was ever really there.
The only way he made "sales" on his last two cds were through trickery. Maybe that's why he hasn't put an album out this year because he can't figure out the angle?
Oh well, I wish the little man well. God only knows what it could have been, but that's not enough to make me care anymore.
slayer is neither powermetal, or melodic death metal so that was useless same with the talk or killswitch, the ice t comment, hope i'm missing something.
I can state Kevin is for real. Prince is not funked in the head he's fucked. He'd never make it in the real world. That's why he never leaves PRINCEVILLE.
and its people like Cyrus with extremely bad taste who are the reason why crap like Fall Out Boy and every black guy with a mic are on top of the charts
I love hearing about Prince! He is so cool. He seems to live in his own creative world and does what the f*** he wants, when he wants and how he wants! Prince is one of the people who greatly inspires me - Not just by his genius musical and performing talent, but by the way he controls his world! "Whats said in Prince world, stays in Prince world" - Great stuff!
Kevin Smith sucks a big one, and so do all the people in the audience who laugh his his obscene juvenile rantings.
really sucks big time. Get the fuck'n hook!
It really gets my ass how dumb young American's are to eat up this trash at the same time our soldier's are killing innocent Iraqi and Afghani men, women, and children.
Yeah, well Smith admits of being a media whore. He'll do pretty much anything to get his name on print. So using that as an offensive remark is useless. And with that your whole post is just that: Useless. Just like you. Merry christmas. Tard.
Come on, his argument has total merit. It's not like kevin smith has made several successful, critically acclaimed films, and helped set a standard for actually GOOD INDEPENDENT FILMS. Oh shit, he has done all of those things. Damn. See what I did there?
"fat white loser"? what's him being white have to do with anything? would you like him more if he was black? give it up. you wouldn't be where you are now if it weren't for white people.

@yerk3 I didn't come to get into a religious debate. I came to debate the morals of insulting the beliefs of others.
Taking the point about religion not being something people can change, does that mean you could start believing in God tomorrow? Of course it doesn't. You couldn't believe that was true any more than I could stop believing it was true. We couldn't believe or stop believing that any more than we can believe a triangle has four sides. Yet I don't insult your lack of beliefs.

@Guest1001 There is nothing immoral about "insulting" an idea just because some people believe in it. If someone believes that the earth is flat, should their belief be respected? Hell no. And nobody would raise an eyebrow if someone brutally pwned someone else's deeply held belief that the world was run by 12 Jews either. But religion somehow has this immunity, where no matter how irrational, hateful or wrong it is, nobody can question it without being called a bigot.

@Guest1001 Human beings should be respected. The crazy ideas they get into their heads, not so much. If you didn't want to get into a religious debate, you shouldn't have brought up religion.
As for a person's religious beliefs being beyond their control, what about other beliefs? If someone is a racist, should their racism be respected, because you yourself couldn't choose to start hating black people tomorrow?

its kinda weird how people don't understand how much following the bible is like following a cult... A few examples come to mind.
1. U follow a book of a person.
2. U give ur money willing to support said person.
3. There is a leader who tells u what is right and wrong.
4. There is a symbol for which u usually carry.
If im wrong on any of these, please do tell.

@Grevener So much like atheism with Richard Dawkins.
1. His book? The God Delusion.
2. Giving money? The campaign to have atheism banners on London buses (and "the out campaign", which is disrespectful to homosexuality since there's no potential for rejection over being an "out" atheist).
3. Leader? Dawkins.
4. Symbol? The Out campaign symbol or Invisible Pink Unicorn logo.
On the other hand, I have nothing but respect for atheists mature enough to avoid being critical of religion.
Guest1001 1 year ago
@Guest1001
1. was there a point there?
2. how is using the term "out" disrespecting homosexuality? if your
stating your views or lifestyle is out of the the "norm" to the ppl u care
for in any sense..that term would be apropriate.
3. Dawkins is a public figure in the athesist community more than a leader
4. 1st : WHAT?!

Guest1001 1 year ago
@Guest1001 A lot of atheists like Dawkins because he happens to be correct about a lot of things, and is really good at articulating what a lot of us have been saying for years about religion, and has the science to back it up. It has nothing to do with dogma, nobody is worshipping him and some of us even disagree with him about somethings. For instance, I prefer Howard Bloom's theories about how humans evolved empathy to Dawkins' "selfish gene" theory.
yerk3 1 year ago
@Guest1001 The Pope, however, must be followed, whatever he says. I've never seen a Catholic say "well, the Pope has a lot of good ideas, but I have to side with the Dalai Lama on the topic of Enlightenment. There is a big difference between "respect" and "never questioning." What you're asking for isn't respect, it's deference and subservience. Sorry, too many people died for the right to question your irrational superstitions for us to give it up just because you say so.

@Guest1001 Where are American atheists "forcing their beliefs" on anyone? If anyone is "forcing their beliefs" on anyone, it is you, wanting to promote your religion but never have it be questioned.

@Guest1001 The God Delision is one of many books that show the inherent inconsistencies and detrimental effects of religion, which the religious have traditionally kept under wraps, and which the non religious have been to timid to tackle out of your over-reaching concept of "respect." If respect means never questioning anything, no matter how obviously wrong, then I'm happy to be the impertinent bastard who subjects your precious dogmas to the cleansing light of reason.
yerk3 1 year ago
@Guest1001 Actually, in a lot of places, there is a very distinct "potential for rejection over being an 'out' atheist." Namely in the South, or really in any fervently religious household. Also, can you imagine an atheist being president today? In order to be electable, all candidates basically have to at least throw in some lip service to some vague religious affiliation. Can you imagine the fit the Tea Party would throw if Obama were to admit that he was an atheist? They'd lose bowel control!
yerk3 1 year ago
@Guest1001 I have been an atheist since I was 13, I'm 27 now, and I have never once seen the "invisible pink unicorn symbol." I don't even know what the "out campaign symbol" looks like. Mature people criticize things which are wrong. That's how people better themselves, by seeing what they're doing wrong. If someone is repeatedly doing or saying things which are flat out wrong, you aren't doing them any favors by keeping your mouth shut out of fear of hurting their feelings.
yerk3 1 year ago
@yerk3 I'm going to try and sum up all of your comments in a single one so I'm sorry if this seems like a lot of non-sequiturs.
I'm glad I'm not so arrogant to think I'm a suitable judge of right and wrong. It's hypocritical for atheists like yourself and Dawkins to judge religious people who do the same when you do so yourself. Yes, I can imagine an atheist as President but can't imagine a Catholic comic like Frank Skinner being cheered for insulting atheism as so many atheist comics do.
Guest1001 1 year ago
@yerk3 Looks like I need a second post after all.
I'm in the UK so don't know about the Tea Party. I'm not saying my beliefs shouldn't be questioned in the slightest but don't think it should be up to people who don't care about causing offence to do it. Dawkins has got so much stuff wrong in The God Delusion that Alistair McGrath filled a book with the inaccuracies and his counter-argument (more politely than Dawkins' did) and Dawkins' response was to childishly insult his beliefs.
Guest1001 1 year ago
@yerk3 Hopefully this'll be the last one
It's very common for Catholics to go against the Pope's opinions and you mustn't know very many if you don't think any of them question it. That, along with your comment of me "forcing beliefs" upon you shows how fervently you cling to stereotypes rather than do your research so who are you to accuse me of forcing beliefs on anyone? All I ask is the same respect I show you and if you equate that to subservience then it speaks volumes about your pettiness
Guest1001 1 year ago
@Guest1001 When you demand the right to say something, then try to deny others the right to question it, then yes, you are asking to "force" your beliefs on people. Also known as having your cake and eating it too.
yerk3 1 year ago
@yerk3 You're STILL going on about this? Alright ...
You're obviously just a troll because I specifically said that religion SHOULD be questioned. Read comments before throwing out random criticisms (and even if that were the case, it wouldn't be forcing anything on anyone. Not questioning something and forcing others into doing something are two completely different things).
Guest1001 1 year ago
@Guest1001 If religion should be questioned, then why are you accusing anyone who dares to question it of being a closed minded bigot?
yerk3 1 year ago
@yerk3 Secondly, I didn't bring religion up. In case you didn't notice, the video you're posting on mentions religion. And yes, you should respect people no matter what their ideas. Are you so petty that you yell "no! I'm right!" like a child when faced with other ideas? So do you refuse to respect philosophers for having different ideas? Or even the mentally ill?
As for the "respecting racism" analogy, you tell me: you're the intolerant one out of the two of us.
Guest1001 1 year ago
@Guest1001 Pointing out to people when they are wrong is not "petty." Demanding that your beliefs never, ever be questioned is. If all people's ideas should be "respected," then would you respect Nazis? Flat Earthers? If there were people alive today who believed that the common cold was caused by witches using dried gypsy tears and hair cut from the head of a ginger at Midnight on All Soul's Eve, would you be inclined to "respect" their beliefs? Be honest now.

It's not even worth arguing over. It's like if "Tyson fought an infant."

How does a man glorfy himself so much in this world just because he's a "Popular" singer? Prince then goes about losing all shared reality, not that he was ever really there.
The only way he made "sales" on his last two cds were through trickery. Maybe that's why he hasn't put an album out this year because he can't figure out the angle?
