Classic logical fallacy of hasty generalization, Bill Maher. Are most ministers ordained at 9? No, so you're pointing to an exceptional case that you CANNOT apply in general. Does a single example of a child being able to do something "adult" invalidate it as something worthy of an "adult"? Does a Sho Yano entering med school @ 12 yrs old invalidate medicine? Does Marla Olmstead selling ~$1000 paintings @ 4 yrs old invalidate art?
@thisnameisuniq I can't judge this child as I've never met him. Maher is saying that because this kid can become a "minister", it shows that all "religious" ministry is invalid. Clearly, this is a flawed argument. At *most* you can extend fault to the local group of people that ordained this child.
People placed a 10 year old as a minister because they want to have a truely innocent person talk the truth and lead those who can not see it back to the path. The Bible does say that the children shall lead. Unfortunately that 10 year old better have a PHD in philosophy for Bill Maher to take that seriously.
In all honesty, I wasn't actually trying to correlate a "proper equivalent" but merely seeking to point out that Maher's question isn't a good one.
"At any rate, yea, authority and knowledge aren't determined by one's age."
Well, not always... but *experience* is indeed irreplaceable -- which is why a 10 year old "ordained" Pendergrass prolly wasn't busy doing marriage counceling. ;-)
It's says God can speak through anyone, even a ten year old.
It says the knowledge spoken during preaching isn't gained from reading books.
Smart ass think's he is so clever and yet is so dumb. Pride makes a person believe in themselves too much, Bill has faith, faith in himself to an arrogant degree. He doesn't appreciate how one added factor or a slightly different perspective changes everything. Religious slap? Only if you don't understand what it means.
@TheHonestTheist "god can speak through you" are you fking serious are you listening to yourself? how many times has god spoken to u, name just one, oh right there isnt any cause if you were hearing voices in youre head that would mean ur crazy! even more crazier than now for believing in this stuff
@TheHonestTheist which now that i think of it, makes the same equal nonsense. How does he speak through you?? do you think he leaves signs? cause if thats the case i think its still pretty mental
@nikokao1 God speaks through a person by revealing to that person a certain truth or insight which that person then expresses. That's how I would describe it.
@nikokao1 To know it's from God is largely a Theological question, if you want to know the answer to that question, research biblical instruction on testing prophecies. Although there are other revelations given by God that are not prophecies, those would be more difficult to prove. You can never prove it either way. We cant know whether it is or is not from God, all we can know is that a person can experience a series of revealed knowledge, that seem to come from no where.
@TheHonestTheist I agree. God speaks through art, music n poetry. All the skill and beauty in the world is the work of god, including the art of assassination, what a precise and perfect expression of our lord! Also the A-bomb... how would an inferior being even think of the idea to harvest nuclear energy? It was of course the fruit of gods wisdom that gave einstein his famous formula! Oscar Wilde - a homosexual genius. Can you wrap your head around that? Try it once you pull it out of your ass.
10 yr old minister, LOL...I wonder if this Religulous slap or the Dave Chappelle as Rick James when he slapped Charlie Murphy after asking him the most important question known to mankind, "What did the 5 fingers say to the face?" is deemed funnier by the people.
slap Jesus and you shall be cursed in the end. You are now cursed with certain death. You who mock will be mocked, and if you mock the one who came for forgiveness of errors, then your error should and i believe will remain. Pity you who enjoy this and die in your errors. Rather, i have tested the bible's test and scientifically found it to be accurate.
@brother234 ROFL. Really? What scientific tests have you ran that makes you believe the bible is accurate, you ignorant dope? You should know that misquoting and misunderstanding science and then trying to use it as an argument against atheism will get you destroyed faster than anything. Be careful what you say. If you're going to argue science with an atheist, (a smart one at least) you better have your facts straight.
Mr Maher has no problem with ten-years engaging in sodomy (as long as it's consentual) or smoking dope, but he has a problem with a ten-year old preaching to people that wan't to listen to him/her preach?
Maher is a reprobate proud to be so. Also, now known as a progressive.
are you joking? you think it is an intelligent thing to categorize 18,000 different religions into one basket? no two religions have the same beliefs. how can you put pacifistic religions into the same basket as satanism? i take back my first comment. the real nonce is you. my thought processes clearly go far deeper than yours "scumbagheadpoo". your name identifies your IQ
my name was done at 16 , my iq is 120 my common sence and critical thinkin far exceeds yours hence why im not an invisible man dick licker. religion was invented to control the MASS POPULUS thats it end of story
invisible man dick licker? firstly those are pretty immature words for someone as intelligent as you. secondly, to be the cause of time space and matter, one's essence must be eternal, omnipresent and immaterial. you clearly have no sense of self control nor any respect for other people. religion i dont care about. if 5000 people decide to create a religion with the opposite values to me, that doesnt mean i defend them. the sanai revelation has been proven.
wow six points more then me , ya musta had sum oil fish the day of the test aye ? and wat has intelligence got to do with maturity ? matuirty is an opinon in my opinion. i speak graphically always have done just becuase im 23 dont mean ima cull my language if my pussycant make me a youtube chat wont either
@xTheFBP Smart people are usually modest about it. In fact, the smartest philosophers in the world would always take blame for any wrongdoings and be quick to acknowledge those who helped them achieve. The fact that you boast about your IQ and that the word "The" is in your handle suggests to me that you don't even know the meaning of the word humility. It's not much of a stretch to go from that to 'you are an idiot'. Dunce. Try harder next time
@xTheFBP Ahhhh, well it's fun to make excuses huh? I'm just pointing something out for you. Seems the concept went over your head. Instead of making excuses why not own your actions and take responsibility like those philosophers? Seems a better excuse would be, "I am 16, give me a break... I will try to be a better person"
@Pigroota You don't know me whatsoever. You're not e-Dr.Phil. I understand your argument I just pointed out why although it may be true to some people, it really doesn't apply to me, here atleast.
I'm not perfect, nobody is.
I'd love to see where you think I was a bad person from what I've typed, that should be fun.
I'ts Friday! Friday! Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!!
@Scumbagheadpoo Im pretty sure of a few things. One, a person with a high IQ can certainly spell the word "sense", and also, a person with the IQ of 120 would not have the name "Scumbagheadpoo" on youtube.... Sorry, just had to point that out.
You would be surprised how much sharing goes on between religions. Look up the ancient Egyptian god Horus - born of a virgin, heralded by a star.... sound familiar?
You said "no two religions have the same beliefs" and I was pointing out that they are more similar than dissimilar, despite what the faithful tell us.
with judaism (my faith), christianity is the polar opposite of judaism simply for one teaching. so the word "similar" doesnt apply. my point is that you cannot refute judaism by refuting hari krishna or refute christianity by refuting the church of satan. categorizing with the word religion is simply us dumbing ourselves down. there is no such being a homo-religious
they base their faiths on judaism but judaism and christianity are nothing alike in their teachings. christianity is also based on paganism as paganism influenced early christianity as much as judaism did but judaism is nothing like paganism. islam is the closest religion to judaism except their fundamental pillars which also means they are based on something that is opposite to judaism.
They all feature the sky daddy and ridiculous outdated beliefs about the world and that's good enough for me. I propose we move on from the bronze now that we are in the 21st century.
@versanil the two statements you made about the sky daddy and the bronze both indicate your total lack of understanding about the religion of judaism. most of the magna carta is based on the torah commandments (innocent until proven guilty for example). judaism teaches to move towards scientific development and in judaism, the messianic age will be a technological high. and in judaism, a sky daddy is seen as idolatry and idiocy. G-D has no gender, age or appearance. no white beards for us thanks
Still got the end of your penis? God just hates a complete penis. Loves technology according to you but never gave any details in the good book. Strange that....possibly because whoever wrote the book had never seen or even conceived of any modern technology. It never ceases to amaze me how people twist the facts to fit their reality. Even a story as twisted as religion can be readily bent into shape.
oh sure; if G-D doesnt baby feed us a perfect world then G-D doesnt exist. G-D gave us something greater than an perfect world....free will and a brain. do it yourself or are you too pathetic? it never ceases to amaze me how someone who has never even looked at 95% of judaism would make such laughable and self deceiving statements. you dont know the first thing about judaism and yet you will tell an orthodox jew that he's twisting judaism? lol. yes, my penis is cheese free and lovin it, thanks
............and circumsision doesnt take off the end of the penis doctor. it takes away that exess skin around the penis....you know; that skin which increases the chances of STD infections including HIV........you know, that skin which houses "cheese"? look on the bright side....you get free mozarella :).........but then again, if i could choose between paying for my mozarella or reducing my chances of infection, i would take the latter.
Thank you Dan for proving my point. Why would an omniscient, loving God who apparently made us in his image with an apparently redundant piece of skin at the end of the penis which happens to increase the rate of disease, then compel us to cut it off? Is she a sadist? Twist your logic round that one.
