I came out as an atheist about a year ago and my boss is a preacher. It's actually kind of helpful to me. He's always giving me books on religion to read. It just fuels my fire even more.
Religion is not the root of all evil, as this portion actually displays. Religion just acts as a cloak which people wrap around human sentiments which exist inherently. Israel and Palestine is about faction, power, and pride. Nobody wants to be underdog, and so they wrap religion around their assertions as justification. Religion did not make people proud, fearful, or inherently wanting themselves to be more powerful than their neighbor. It just came in handy to justify these feelings.
@MisterJeebus While I kind of agree with you, remember that you would upset many people and even break some hearts as many people hold this wall very dear to themselves. Remember to always respect people, not the religions in any way, we don't owe them any respect but always be mindful of people. Or you're just doing an atheist crusade, hurting people along the way while preching your beliefs (true as they may be). we're the ones who have to act great because the fantatics won't :)
@JohanTW My beliefs don't hurt anyone. And while my statements may offend some, it is not my problem. It is how I feel. My beliefs don't condemn anyone to fiery torment or crash aircrafts into buildings or claim to own a piece of land due to divine, supernatural real estate. I respect all people; it's their ignorance and arrogance that I disrespect fervently.
@MisterJeebus I know they don't hurt anyone and I share them, just a heads up! :) Remember we have the moral high ground, let's not sink to their level, shall we ;)
@SeedsOfHatred Agreed but he has a belief that these old things are worthy of ridicule and contempt. While I don't fully agree because I love history and I show great respect for old things (not because of religious beliefs), I can certainly see where he's coming from.
@JohanTW When those people that "fight for the place that hold dear to them" kills each other all day long. Third party innocent people should not give a damn.
As long as those moron do not hurt innocent people, or try to drag unrelated people into that moronic bloody mess. Which they ALL do, innocent non religious people are killed in those wars, and they all try to convert innocent people into the madness.
As such your point is moot, who cares if the place hold dear to them.
@garytcw Not sure if you realise this but I agree with everything you just said :P It's just the last part, I do care about people's feelings and I wouldn't want to hurt anyone that way not even an enemy, not to mention that provoking those two children further would lead to more bloodshed. I don't believe we need militant or arrogant atheism because I don't think we need militant or arrogant movements at all. Politeness is the best thing to use when you disagree. But they ARE hurting innocents.

Dawkins is not really good at debate, i thought up of much better points when he was talking to Al-Khattab. Where he sets a standard of morality and appearance of american people (women). He could have told him to prove, with evidence, the existence of his God and that he must first prove that before making assertions on how such rules should be. If the source of that standard is not real, then why consider it? Dawkins sort of looks scared sometimes, when he debates, like he gets nervous.

this documantary is straight from the devil. People dont understand that being a christian is NOT a religion, religion are made of rules. when you you have a relationship with god/jesus/holy spirit its all about love, and when God said you can't do this or that'' its only to protect you from yourself and harm, not because He is a controling God. He loves you and wants you to share a relationship with Him,.

Most people don't understand the message. The battle of good vs evil occurs only in your mind. Jihad describe this personal struggle, and the term was hijacked by fundamentalists. The Apocalypse started but is being fought in every person conscience. We can decide to find the truth or hide. I was a non believer and found the truth. All religions are right and all are wrong. They all have wrong dogmas but they all seek for the greater truth. I found it, I suggest you do the same. God is real.
One thing is I think that people blow the dangers of terrorism way out of proportion. I have been to Israel. Fairly peaceful. It is a relatively tiny number of people killed or injured by terrorism. Yes, even that small amount should be removed. But does it really deserve all the attention and worry it gets?
It gets attention because it is different and extreme. Thousands dying from natural diseases are normal, but a few dying from a terrorist is extreme and more scary.

Atheists are totally fucked in the head. And they want to brain-fuck everyone else too. They should fix themselves instead of trying to fuck everybody else.
@antennasky Oh we're going to fuck you alright, fuck the superstisious bullshit right out of you until you realize that fairytale characters are for little children... FOOL!
@mojo1234567890 No, they do teach it, but they teach creationism in some schools as well. It's state determined a lot of this education stuff. The problem is that they shouldn't be allowed to by law, they have a secular state so schools should not give a platform for any faith to express any faith based information as plausible. It would only be appropriate in a history or social studies class where they explore what the world's religions are, but just as belief systems, not fact etc.
@mojo1234567890 speaking from the perspective of someone who went through the "catholic" school system, evolution and creationism were offered as equally viable theorys
@mojo1234567890 no they do not. they might refer to it once or twice depending on the teacher but they are not supposed to. I go to a catholic school and they surely don't speak a word about it. It's really difficult to sit through 6+hours a day of something you dont believe in and know it is completely false.
i am currently living in a predominantly catholic country in asia,..and as expected most of their belief systems are just BULLSHIT!, how the fuck they can change the govermint if they are involving an archaic religion that has been borrowed from those colonizers in history, i mean..i cannot forget on easter last year on how bishops would have the liberty to claim that the bible is true and yet cannot xplain by science, and science cannot be trusted!, i mean wtf??! im experiencing INQUSITION!
the idea of a god, heaven and hell is important to our society if it can be proven that majority of the people are functioning with the morality of a little child---"reward and punishment".
I disagree with the part saying if a person comes out as an Atheist will have nothing. I have seen many Atheists live a highly fulfilling life and I'm a Theist.
I am an atheist. And I agree. There might be anecdotal cases (actually, there ARE such cases) where a revealed atheist is browbeaten by a religious community and loses his or her job as a result, but I rather doubt it is a rampant problem.
I think there are cases when Religious people AND Atheists are BOTH targeted and victimized by each other. It is a vicious circle of distrust, anger, and suspicion.
The Catholic Crusades, Mao's Great Proletarian Revolution, Stalin's Ukrainian Genocide, Pol Pot, Jim Jones, David Koresh, The Pope, etc. etc.
No one has a monopoly on Evil I am afraid.
BUT I do not see any atheists flying Jet Airliners into buildings so I would MUCH rather sit next to you on a plane than Abdul Akbar.
@ThoughtTraveler Ive seen videos of families giving their testimony of how coming out and saying they are atheist actually had their children bullied at school, parents losing their jobs and being evicted for no apparent reason. Believe it or not it does happen. Most likely not in larger urban centers because typically people are less concerned with such matters. But in less dense areas it has been known to happen. If only I could remember what news cast I saw the video on.
It is much more complex thing than religion vs religion. Its culture vs culture. Interest vs interest. At the stone age several trbies didnt trust each one, and killed each other, same happening right now, its not primarly because of religion.
(0:04) "If a person comes out in this country (USA) as an atheist, they're likely to suffer career damage, they might lose a job, they might not get a job, they might lose an opportunity for an appartement"
I'm half Israeli and have many family members that live in Israel. The overwhelming majority of Israelis are moderate Jews...most don't keep kosher and usually only observe the high holidays...The majority are moderate and want peace....anyways, just my observation, really good video though.
yes religion can be truly cruel. But I don't think if there was no religion, there would be no wars. While wars are products of human thirst for power.
@candoyja Nice. i was one of these religious freaks till the age of 34. Now I hate religion.. I am glad that people did not take your view seriously. Otherwise i may still be in that delusion.
They Are ALL the SAME!. They all worship the same god. They have vertually the same ideals. They all originate from the same places. If they can't see this. Let them Kill Themselves. Good Ridance. It's Natural Selection. Religions can kill each other and only reasonable people pass on their genes.
I can't believe how we are in the 21st Century and people still believe in fairy tales like religion. It amazes me how when you talk to a religious person, they believe that their specific religion is the correct one and they can never give a reasonable answer on God's their God's existence. And what's funny is that they look at you all fucked up for giving a reason on why you think religion is fake is because no actual facts can back up God's existence.
If we saw the world as Dawkins would have it - it would, in fact, resemble the world that we had 5 centuries ago - everyone would agree that there is no God, everyone would, in effect, pray to Universe/natural selection, or try to invoke the spirit of Einstein or Darwin... and everyone would get burned for doubting any of those authorities and assuming, philosophically, that there might be a creator of universe. That would be just as banned and dangerous as doubting it centuries before.
I'm saying that you do, and are hypocrites in denying. Praying isn't something you say out loud in a position in an ecclesiastical building. Not necessarily.
It comes down to the same, only you're delusional about "knowing better than that".
I'm not religious you imbecile.
The world was as dawking wants it. In Babylon and Egypt. That's BC, so you know.
Dawkins offers no answer on - what would fill the gap if religion was removed.
Science couldn't do it a hundred years ago. It couldn't even in the USSR where it was so strictly enforced - churches were destroyed, secularism was preached... and the only thing it created - was a pseudo-religious ideology where Lenin was God, and all sorts of messianic cults of personality were there to fill the gap left with religion falling back.
Well, "us ruling the world" does kinda sound imperialist, doesn't it?
The greatest delusion in denomination is that - people can DECLARE themselves such or such - while their faith can be placed in different things.
For instance - I'm positive that among some clergy are die-hard atheists in every aspect. I'm also positive that some, if not many of the "atheists" are fundamentalists and fanatics, nonetheless.
A declaratively atheist government guarantees nothing beyond DECLARATIVE atheism.
They can be as sentimental, corrupt and hypocritical as everyone else, and DISGUISE it as "atheism". That is the point - Dawkins deals only with what's on the surface.
Well, I want to walk on the moon and to have free dental, to have a model for a wife, a palace and a space station of my own... that doesn't mean that society is obligated to afford me those.
If everyone are atheists means there are more scientists - would you live in Soviet union? They sure were atheists - they were persecuted if they were religious.
Besides - are all atheists interested in comiting to science?
And - how do you explain scientists who aren't believers?
"would you live in Soviet union? They sure were atheists - they were persecuted if they were religious."
"soviet union atheists? i taught they are orthodox"
The fact that Russia's heritage was that of a state and a nation that was (declaratively) Christian Orthodox makes no difference.
Just the same as plenty of Russian aristocrats during Tzardom were so perverse and "liberal" that you could compare them with modern bankers and obscenely rich sloughs, which has not
sloughs, which has nothing to do with Orthodox Christianity (but they got away with it), just the same as in 19th century Russia was transforming into a tyrannical liberal capitalist state with disgustingly powerful and untouchable corporations (which, again has nothing to do with Orthodox Christianity) - when it was transformed into the Soviet Union - religion was abolished.
The only reason why it didn't declare Marxism for religion is that the whole propaganda
propaganda about "religion is the opium of the masses" of their "Glorious Leader" would become dubious.
Check how many churches and what kind of persecutions of clergy they've had.
Communism WAS an ideology that's as close to religion as they get.
Have you noticed all the statues, the portraits, the propaganda?
You can hardly find a religion that can match THAT much of brainwashing, when you take the amount of force applied to it's enforcement and the amount of
amount of force applied to it's enforcement and the amount of media material attacking a citizen's nervous system.
It was all in the name of "religion is bad" - just as you would have it.
And where did it get them? To the brink of extinction.
It's not because it takes being Christian Orthodox to survive. It's because such violence against a human mind, such wrong take on the state in which it's glorified like a living deity is just as much zealous, fundamentalist
@rettie we atheists fight for survival. religions brainwash people when they are very small and they become like you and like the other 95% of the world.
Man - there's more to these things than mere words and finding ways to insult the "other side". Serious things that have impact on the real world. It's more than words and a phrase you get to shout when you feel like it.
Chances are, only by living in this age, that you will easily find yourself in a lot of trouble because of agitators like this Dawkins guy. Most probably - some form of lynching and urban warfare.
I wasn't saying that religion CAN't be a catalyst for it. I was saying that you don't NEED religion to have that crap all over the place.
I don't know where you live - but I live in a country that's about to tear itself to pieces based on a division of "left" and "right". They both act as what you'd call "religious fanatics" - although they aren't divided by religion. A whole country about to be split into two groups, about to jump at each others' throat.
And guess one - one side uses Dawkins to convince them that they have a "just cause" to be bigots, although serious scientists (and I know a few) are complete opposites of what this guy's doing.
Simply put - this is serious shit. Don't take it lightly - you might easily see your surrounding and your safety seriously shaken just because of "fashionable" divisions and conflicts, such as this guy's stirring. And while the "conservatives" and "liberals" kill each other
surrounding and your safety seriously shaken just because of "fashionable" divisions and conflicts, such as this guy's stirring. And while the "conservatives" and "liberals" kill each other - most probably leaders on both sides will be in the same team, controling the conflict.
Think of it as Robin Hood and Sheriff of Nottingham teaming up against everybody else: both with their phrases, supporters - but secretly in league with each other, so they play everybody else.
Think of it as Robin Hood and Sheriff of Nottingham teaming up against everybody else: both with their phrases, supporters - but secretly in league with each other, so they play everybody else.
That's the way this world works, kid. If you ever get to dig a lot about it - I promise that that's what you'll find. It's serious shit and you would do well to take it that way. It's not about some "Reds" and "Blues" on the other side of the planet - it's about your own surrounding.
your own surrounding. That's why everyone is prodded into swallowing this stuff. It's 70% truth minimum, but there's always a hint of manipulation that's subtle, to make the viewer suggestible. I studied these things for years at my university, and I create and analyze documentaries like this one for living - so I know how they're made. There's not a single frame of any video material that hasn't been carefully thought out by some director. That's what we do.
@rettie lol i'm not talking with you anymore obviously you think that atheists are socialist, communist, stalinist, marxist, facist, ss, brown shirt, gestapo, nazi, hitler, nazis
The only way for a religion to be pushed aside - is by replacing it with another.
Even a pseudo-religion.
And that's a religious war, just as any other.
Even the "communist revolution" had close ties with the Vatican... it was, in part, their venture to "tame" the "heretics", under the guise of atheism.
You can hardly find a power vacuum that wasn't someone else's move to fill in the gap.
"Abolishing religion" would do just the same - create a theocracy of some other kind.
The muslims took over a place that was considered sacred by jews and now won't let them anywhere near it. Why does that sound familiar? (*hint* ground zero mosque).
the old king james bible ( i mean the big bastards they give u) burn well. so does the koran and the buddist scripts infact all books burn well. what is the god or the gods doing NOTHING cause they are not there lol

@mojo1234567890 No, they do teach it, but they teach creationism in some schools as well. It's state determined a lot of this education stuff. The problem is that they shouldn't be allowed to by law, they have a secular state so schools should not give a platform for any faith to express any faith based information as plausible. It would only be appropriate in a history or social studies class where they explore what the world's religions are, but just as belief systems, not fact etc.

@mojo1234567890 no they do not. they might refer to it once or twice depending on the teacher but they are not supposed to. I go to a catholic school and they surely don't speak a word about it. It's really difficult to sit through 6+hours a day of something you dont believe in and know it is completely false.

@ThoughtTraveler Ive seen videos of families giving their testimony of how coming out and saying they are atheist actually had their children bullied at school, parents losing their jobs and being evicted for no apparent reason. Believe it or not it does happen. Most likely not in larger urban centers because typically people are less concerned with such matters. But in less dense areas it has been known to happen. If only I could remember what news cast I saw the video on.

And what's funny is that they look at you all fucked up for giving a reason on why you think religion is fake is because no actual facts can back up God's existence.

If we saw the world as Dawkins would have it - it would, in fact, resemble the world that we had 5 centuries ago - everyone would agree that there is no God, everyone would, in effect, pray to Universe/natural selection, or try to invoke the spirit of Einstein or Darwin... and everyone would get burned for doubting any of those authorities and assuming, philosophically, that there might be a creator of universe. That would be just as banned and dangerous as doubting it centuries before.

Dawkins offers no answer on - what would fill the gap if religion was removed.
Science couldn't do it a hundred years ago. It couldn't even in the USSR where it was so strictly enforced - churches were destroyed, secularism was preached... and the only thing it created - was a pseudo-religious ideology where Lenin was God, and all sorts of messianic cults of personality were there to fill the gap left with religion falling back.

The greatest delusion in denomination is that - people can DECLARE themselves such or such - while their faith can be placed in different things.
