@zoso7889 Why is Scientology a particularly bad religion? They all coocoo institutions Chritianity, Judaism and Islam and the Eastern religions too... At least Scientology is not 2000 years when people couldn't explain dreams; and so they thought "god" was communicating with them.
@disandthat I agree to a certain extent, but the thing with Judaism and Christianity etc is that we cant 'prove' what did or didnt happen at the time. But we know definitivley that L Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith were science fiction writers and convicted conmen respectivley. And the Bible at least deals with places and people that are known to exist unlike Mormonism and scientology.
Plus you'd think that by the 20th century people had enough education to be suspicious of new cults.
@zoso7889 Nicely put. I don't have a problem with religions, but I just don't want them to start encroaching upon my rights via the state. I can't stand their proselytizing; well except for Judaism which is not a religion that's guilty of converting people.
@zoso7889 "the Bible at least deals with places and people that are known to exist unlike Mormonism and scientology".??? In the book, these people and places exist.
@wondergundy The following are a list of places mentioned in the Book of Mormon that are entirely fictional. As there are literally Hundreds i thought id give you just a hand full from the Letter A:
City of Aaron, Ablom, Plains of Agosh, Wilderness of Akish, City of Ammonihah, Land of Amulon, Land of Antionum,
If i was a "God" once upon a time. And i lived and created and deestructed here on earth. And then lets say, i left. And was gone for a while... then came back. Would i take responsibilty for whats going on here now, what happen while i was gone etc... Probarbly not. But i would be surprised... cause we are a 'colorful bunch.
@KigreTheViking if you were god, according to your believers, you would have never been "gone". So, in turn, you allowed the earth to become what it is now...YOU BASTARD! lol
You cannot say gods are made up or religions because we do not know. what we can be is open minded and realize that know one knows the fucking answers so there you go atheist are just as ignorant as church goers they judge each other while i sit back and laugh my ass off at how much they waste their time.
most athiests are very open minded and interested in learning about the universe and how it actually came to be through real life evidence. instead of listening to some bigoted knee-jerk rationalization of our universe.
religion teaches the exact opposite of an open mind. anyone with a brain sees this.

@BronzeBullBalls And yet Athiests are according to polls about as trusted as rapists, which would be less morbidly reassuring if this nation hated rapists more. No politician in the higher echelons of power is openly atheist. Christianity is everywhere in this culture and in our government and it doesn't take a fanatic in a culture like this to play a part in the oppression of non-believers.

They may be the majority, but that gives them no right to deny my rights or enshrine their religion in law and government.
They don't deny your rights, their beliefs are just more prevalent because they are the majority. It's like going to Thailand and being angry about all the Buddha statues. "Jesus Christ!." "Oh my God!" How many times do you hear that or say that in a day? It doesn't mean anything does it? So, why get your panties in a bunch because you see a the ten commandments outside a court house... it's just symbolic and a left over trapping of our Xian heritage.
Actually, yes, non-christians do get their rights denied. Go talk to some of the non-Christians serving openly in the military and ask them if they have the same rights as Christians. Then, of course, there are the numerous legislations on abortion, against same sex marriage, and many others they want to enact. The 10 commandments outside a courthouse indicate that is part of the law, and with two exceptions it isn't. It isn't a leftover for many xtians.
@Narcahanj That's because everybody's too busy banging their sisters. (But in all seriousness, that's an idiotic "law", even if it might only be policy; I find that atheists are generally more intelligent than strongly religious people, what with critical thinking and all...)
@Estragon17 I served active for five years and now serve in the Reserves, and I have not witnessed this discrimination against other religions. Everyone's too busy being pissed off at their superiors to discriminate.
Then perhaps you can share that with the folks over at Atheists in Foxholes... or the numerous families who have had problems getting their preferred religious symbol (outside of a star of david or cross) inscribed on the tombstone of their dead loved ones.
@Estragon17 What I think is happening here is contextual. People are people; discrimination comes in many forms, from the smallest most insignificant thing to the most traumatizing. It does exists in the military as with any organization, but It's not prevalent. If anything, religious preference is a free ticket to individuality in the military.Its actually pretty ridiculous how easy it is to get away with shit if your excuse is, "It's a religious matter." Ass-holes pucker up quick. lol
@Lamentfordeath That context doesn't really make the kind of discrimination that is going on. It may not be wide-spread, though that is questionable, but it happens far far more than it should. As for religion as an excuse, that doesn't seem to be the problem. That doesn't even touch on the discrimination and attempts to convert atheists, which seems the largest percentage of what is going on. Even if it could be used as an excuse by some it is still a right.
@Estragon17 Convert atheists? Where do you live? Do you battle with these conflicts in your day to day life or are you just relaying what you read and watch on the internet? Mathematically it's such a minute problem. Maybe you just need a hobby to channel your energy more positively rather than focus on the negative.
@Estragon17 I'm active military, and I'm only representing myself here and what I've witnessed. But I'll have to disagree with you. As an atheist in the military I can tell you that I've never met so many other open atheists in such higher concentration than in the military. The public doesn't realize it, but a large majority of members are not religious, or at the very least not JesusMcbangbang. I think a majority of us would rather you send us a beer than a bible.
@FuzzyCuff2010 Thanks for that. I'm sure the majority of viewers here will not only take your sensible, freethinking views to heart, but also summarily reject the bigoted, mean-spirited, oppressive views of @FuzzyCuffs 0-2099! ;)
@babypiano666 im not trying to argue with anyone like i said i was just saying i don't full heartedly believe in anything that religions or atheists or cults etc tell me i will listen to them but i choose not to pick a side on anything cuz it causes arguments such as this one but i understand the point your making that religions are really bad these days or should i say church.
All you 'pre-clears' will never understand he church withyour cynical attitude, which someone taught you by the way. Every religion wants your money, at least L.R.H was upfront about it.
The great thing about ANY religion is that you can only ask a certain amount of questions about it before you either need to call it's bluff, or shut the fuck up so as not to make anyone else awkward.
@upT3mpo if questions make them feel akward about thier beliefs, it says something about the beliefs and thier own convictions in them, not the person questioning them.
LOL! Exactly! If there is a God and he 'hires' the devil to do evil things, that is just as immoral as doing these things yourself. It's like hiring a hitman, lol.
@dilemmix I think i remember watching some shitty lifetime movie for health class in middle school, where a woman hired a hitman for her husband who abused her and she actually got a LONGER sentence than if she did it herself!! hmmm
Nobody knows what happens when you die. You don't, I don't, nobody does. People can't do anything but make wild guesses. I believe there is no evidence that we have a soul, when our brain dies, that's it. No more us! Our atoms will recycle forever, and never leave the universe. These are the material we leave behind, and this is evidence. No evidence for souls though.
Do animals have a point? We, humans are animals too. You make your own point on earth. Don't need to believe in a sky fairy to be able to have a point :)
@dilemmix you are touching on my theory. I believe we are released as energy back into the universe from which we came. No thoughts, no memories, no fine silk robes with loved ones eating cake for eternity. Funny, it doesn't seem to bother people that they don't remember anything before they were born, but it sure makes them uncomfortable to think there is nothing after they die.
@michaelandjohnvideos has anyone ever come back to tell you what happens when we die? Don't bother answering, we all know it already. The reason why we haven't been told is because there is nothing to tell. Believers will keep believing and the growing numbers of people like me will keep laughing at them in amusement.
@dilemmix Oh wise and enlightened one I will worship your absolute and all encompassing knowledge! Prey tell more on the secrets of the universe. How many extra dimensions are there: 10, 11 or 26? Finally! We may settle string theory and know all that is to know of everything in absolute. (also are u 12? only 12 year old girls use lol)
The thing is...We cant be sure really..Ask any athiest and he would tell you he is 9.9/10 sure god doesn't exist...But if you see the credability of the relegions...Islam,chrisitanity,buddah,shinto..All those were around for so long and have so much culture depeding of them...So although yes..u are right..they are all made up...We cannot at all compare scientology with christianty or islam..NEVER,Scientology is itself nothing...Its a proven scam..You can be a christian and be dimeless
@alipdf unfortunately, religions are getting dated. They all explained the un-explainable, similar to people thinking the earth used to be flat. Once dis-proven, the notion seemed silly. Ask a true believer if they have ever been to the doctor to get better. Then ask them why they didn't just pray for themselves to heal...
The thing is..People believe usually because of mass beliefs..i have talked to several people and they have told me ... 'If 1 billion people believe in x..how can x be wrong"
And that whole thought is really a good point for thier argument although invalid, People just need to believe in what they want to...a year ago i kept trying to believe in 1 relegion so badly..but i couldnt....because i didnt believe..so in the end..i was like "fuk it"...im going with the flow...
@alipdf see you hit the nail right on the head. If majority of people believe the sky is green, then it is green, despite you seeing the color blue. A much smarter man than I was quoted as saying "it is dangerous to be right in a world that is wrong".
What kind of god? There have been thousands of gods throughout history... all the Greek gods and also gods that have now been disposed of. There is no evidence that your god exists.
@rellik619555 But how do you know though that he exists. There is not a grain of evidence that he exists. Lol no I'm not homosexual but even if I was, how weird that Jesus wouldn't show up for homosexuals... if he says that all people are equal and equally loved. Hmmmm why did God 'create' homosexuals in the first place huh?
@dilemmix bc god didn't make gays. it was the devil! an i do have evidence he exist bc..he spoke to me..at pollo loco jesus is a cool guy. u should meet him. lol all joke aside... i believe in god bc i do think their is something powerful out there..but i understand if u don't believe... i have my reasons that's why. and god has helped me through stuff u wouldn't imagine. like make cancer disappear for a friend of mine. an other stuff. u just gotta have faITH. fuck all religion just need GOD.
Ok, but is god not supposed to be the 'all powerful' one and not the devil? Is the devil more powerful than god if god can't do anything to stop the devil make homosexuals?
It's great that your friend healed of cancer without medical treatment, but while your friend was healing, thousands of innocent children died of horrible diseases. Shame that god didn't help these children also.
@dilemmix yea sucks that kids die. i can see why you would lose hope. but hey i respect that u don't believe in him. but having jesus Christ helps man.. it helps keep ppl stable you know.. other wise you would have your fellow brothers and sisters lost an the world. it may not help everyone but it does help. it shouldn't bother you to at least pray during desperate times . happy thanksgiving an always be a good Samaritan god bless..
Much as I love the guy's work on AD, and as opposed as I am to organized religion, this is really piss-poor comedy. He doesn't really make any setup-punchline jokes about Scientology or Mormonism. He just calls them stupid. This is what I like to call "Seth Macfarlane-Religion-bashing," where the guy telling the jokes thinks that because he doesn't believe in the Christian god, he is an atheist and better than everyone else. Probably doesn't believe for shitty reasons, too.
@AnarchalPatriarch You clearly missed the part about dianetics and OT level 8 and how paying money somehow makes you more receptive to the teachings of Scientology and capable of understanding it, he says it during the part about the little street urchin wanting to play on the playstation instead of continuing eternity with a shitty ball in a cup.
@CraigMetalHead Have to admit, the ball in a cup vs. Call of Duty or whatever was pretty funny. As far as the Scientology stuff goes, although I feel Scientology is the "religion" that most deserves to be lampooned, all he really did was point his finger at a stupid "religious" practice of Scientology. If I wanted that, I'd go to wikipedia or read an article on Scientology, Cross just seems hell-bent on informing his audience that stupid organizations do stupid things, rather than make jokes.
@AnarchalPatriarch He put in a comment about a religion MOST people consider to be an obvious lie... then twists it by saying thats exactly what Mormonism is, a religion that now gets to dictate to politicians what laws should and should not be forced into peoples private lives. He does go into more depth about it in that Mormonism video over > there.
For less comments about Religion from David Cross maybe watch " David Cross - An Existence Predicated Upon Manufactured Necessity." over > there.
@scotttebben just like "patriots".....you're not a patriot if you don't ask questions and investigate claims and information given to you by the president or the news!
and in case you didn't know, FEMA had a press conference FAKED (this is right after hurricane katrina)...why would they have paid journalists and reporters asking questions...it isn't even something extremely serious....so if they fake THAT, then what makes you think they don't fake stuff that IS delicate like 9/11?!
@scotttebben ugghhhh....if you feel like replying pm ME (xxxslayerxxx666) and yeah i know gay name, i was only 14 and just got into metal lol........but this is my sisters account (i can't stand auto login!)
Fucking idiotic religious, and atheist people debating on a fucking comedy video. You guys should be thrown to a some deserted island, so you kill each other so normal people don't have to deal with your dumb asses.
Oh come on.. I was raised Mormon.. Eh whatever, Mormonism is just another Christian denomination.. Actually I really can't think of what else Mormons added that differs from other Christian denominations.. Mormons believe in the bible, pray to god and believe in Jesus.. Just Mormons study the bible like nerds.. And don't hate on others.. And the book of Mormon basiclly says the same thing as the bible.. But Mormons study the bible more the that book.. Idk.. I just think people hate'n others is
@Systemerror1607 "I really can't think of what else Mormons added..." Ummmm... How about the Book of Mormon? Ever heard of that, as you were being raised? No other Christian denomination put ANY stock in that book at all, and why should they? Jesus came to North America (HOW?!?!?!?!) The Garden of Eden is in Missouri? Native Americans are a lost tribe of Israel that had their skin turned red as punishment? If you can't find the crazy in Mormonism, you ain't lookin'!!!
@DemMedHornene Good job. You've turned an intellectual debate into a personal attack on his grammar. Which basically means you lack the intelligence to stay on subject. Have a good day sir.
@Mumblingmind Why did God make free will then? Why did God put a tree to fuck with people when he would've easily not have eve eat it. Why did God have to test their prophets when he knows the answer.
Why did God have to purify the world with a flood instead of using his unlimited power to provide a different solvency. If the Bible is fake then where is the proof of God? If God existed, then why doesn't he show himself to us.
@MultiBlasian according to the gnostic tradition (a sect that predates christianity, and was wiped out by aforementioned christianity) god is one of many gods, who are ment to create in pairs.
our god became arrogant and decided to create without a cohort, and as a result we were created without souls.
then the wisest of all gods came to eden and gave adam and eve a soul by telling them to eat from the tree. (prolly a drug reference).
@Mumblingmind And why does God put us through hell when we don't pick the right answer to our free will. He sends us to hell because we're skeptics. What a dick professor.
The girl on the left @ 2:43 is a scientologist, she's taking notes so she can destroy David's life later. Why do you think he's depressed? Operation "Let's make funny David Sad".
@1105Chance Aid with conditions, or aid in the form of shit that's not needed, like solar powered bibles and stupid shit like that. Wow, so noble, using aid as a means of recruiting the helpless. Churches are filled with the scum of the earth. Exploitative fucks every one of them.
@HighPriestofLemuria How does that solar powered bible work? Cause I just don't see that being an invention that is all that feasible or serve any practical worth whatosever.
@1105Chance Yea the church gives that money to the poor but fuck you if you think that is church money, WE FUCKING PAY THE CHURCH, we did so for hundreds of years, why? I don't fucking know, because morons still believe in a sky wizard that is going to save us all after death, fucking live with the fact that there is no life after death and be done with it.
I never understood why non-Christians hate Christians so mcuh. Just live and let live,who cares what someone believes as long as it does not hurt you. All those that claimed they were Christian while they kill,rape and steal are not really Christians. Anyway if someone does not push their view onto me I could care less.

Actually, yes, non-christians do get their rights denied. Go talk to some of the non-Christians serving openly in the military and ask them if they have the same rights as Christians. Then, of course, there are the numerous legislations on abortion, against same sex marriage, and many others they want to enact. The 10 commandments outside a courthouse indicate that is part of the law, and with two exceptions it isn't. It isn't a leftover for many xtians.

Then perhaps you can share that with the folks over at Atheists in Foxholes... or the numerous families who have had problems getting their preferred religious symbol (outside of a star of david or cross) inscribed on the tombstone of their dead loved ones.
Estragon17 1 month ago
@Estragon17 What I think is happening here is contextual. People are people; discrimination comes in many forms, from the smallest most insignificant thing to the most traumatizing. It does exists in the military as with any organization, but It's not prevalent. If anything, religious preference is a free ticket to individuality in the military.Its actually pretty ridiculous how easy it is to get away with shit if your excuse is, "It's a religious matter." Ass-holes pucker up quick. lol
Lamentfordeath 1 month ago
@Lamentfordeath That context doesn't really make the kind of discrimination that is going on. It may not be wide-spread, though that is questionable, but it happens far far more than it should. As for religion as an excuse, that doesn't seem to be the problem. That doesn't even touch on the discrimination and attempts to convert atheists, which seems the largest percentage of what is going on. Even if it could be used as an excuse by some it is still a right.
Estragon17 1 month ago
@Estragon17 Convert atheists? Where do you live? Do you battle with these conflicts in your day to day life or are you just relaying what you read and watch on the internet? Mathematically it's such a minute problem. Maybe you just need a hobby to channel your energy more positively rather than focus on the negative.
Lamentfordeath 1 month ago
@Estragon17 I'm active military, and I'm only representing myself here and what I've witnessed. But I'll have to disagree with you. As an atheist in the military I can tell you that I've never met so many other open atheists in such higher concentration than in the military. The public doesn't realize it, but a large majority of members are not religious, or at the very least not JesusMcbangbang. I think a majority of us would rather you send us a beer than a bible.

Nobody knows what happens when you die. You don't, I don't, nobody does. People can't do anything but make wild guesses. I believe there is no evidence that we have a soul, when our brain dies, that's it. No more us! Our atoms will recycle forever, and never leave the universe. These are the material we leave behind, and this is evidence. No evidence for souls though.

@CraigMetalHead Have to admit, the ball in a cup vs. Call of Duty or whatever was pretty funny. As far as the Scientology stuff goes, although I feel Scientology is the "religion" that most deserves to be lampooned, all he really did was point his finger at a stupid "religious" practice of Scientology. If I wanted that, I'd go to wikipedia or read an article on Scientology, Cross just seems hell-bent on informing his audience that stupid organizations do stupid things, rather than make jokes.

@AnarchalPatriarch He put in a comment about a religion MOST people consider to be an obvious lie... then twists it by saying thats exactly what Mormonism is, a religion that now gets to dictate to politicians what laws should and should not be forced into peoples private lives.

@MultiBlasian according to the gnostic tradition (a sect that predates christianity, and was wiped out by aforementioned christianity) god is one of many gods, who are ment to create in pairs.
our god became arrogant and decided to create without a cohort, and as a result we were created without souls.
then the wisest of all gods came to eden and gave adam and eve a soul by telling them to eat from the tree. (prolly a drug reference).
