Are you serious? How many youtube atheists have to create groups which fail before you guys get it.
Why do you find the need to group together and organize into a hive mind like religious people? You are taking the worst parts of religion and applying them to your militant anti-religious nonsense.
@gerberakasbah The key difference between the League of Reason and religious groups is that its purpose is not to teach, but to discuss. It's a forum in which everyone can speak about their opinions without their being "teachers" or "students," or a "shepherd" and a "flock." In my opinion, the worst parts of religion are its tendancy to be anti-reason and pro-violence, which is a stance that most skeptics are vehemently against.
God told us that it is not His job to make us believe in him, but our job to have faith in Him and his divinity. Those who have no faith in him are, in a nutshell, disillusioned by the materiality of life.
People have faith in many different things. What makes the faith you have in your god any different than the faith that Muslims, Hindus, Bhuddists, Shintos, or any other group has?
They will all make the same claims about faith and proof, anyone can make the claim you made about anything, but faith doesn't make something true, no matter how much it makes you think it is.
@IceFire9yt Never, EVER say YOUR god again. He is not mine alone. He is OUR God, and I pray that you will see "reason" soon and that your faith in Him returns.
Well, you can try. I'm sure your prayers will be just as effective as prayer had been shown to be in every study conducted. In other words, having no noticable difference on the outcome.
@IceFire9yt Like hell, those fools pray for themselves. For prayers to work, you need to be selfless, something humans have a hard time doing. However, I hope that if God grants my prayers and speaks to you, you will regain your faith.
@Apoclypse666 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
Do you see any qualifications in this passage? So how come prayers are not answered? Could it be that the Jesus story is fiction?
I'm sorry to say this, but I'm angered that you used such an epic song for something as wrong as this. Flame me if you want, but here's MY reason for this "League of Reason" to chew on. Faith is the belief in something, anything. We have faith in Einstein's theories, faith in science, and for well over half the world, faith in a God or gods.
This is an awesome video. I like it better than the winner, but I suppose you're right about it being "too long". :) Ah, well.
What is the title of the piece of music you used? It sounds like it could be from Hans Zimmer or maybe Clint Mansell, but I can't identify it. Help? :)
You, sir, are a gentleman, scholar, and badass. *sub*

Why do you presume to know what people's motivations are for praying? You are not omnisient.
Besides, if I asked a muslim, hindu, etc, I bet some of them would say the same thing as you.
You have to find a way to differentiate yourself from other religions.
