nstructions to put together a table or TV stand. So why should the book, which is supposed to tell people how live, who to serve, what to do with their life, etc. be any different? Thus it makes sense to read it literally. But literally, the Bible is contradictory and dangerous. There's my case.
I would like to add something on the subject of reading the Bible literally, if I may. One thing that made me realize I didn't really believe in any of what I was taught for 17 years in church was not the literal interpretation of the Bible, but realizing how wishy-washy the Bible is. One sect of Christianity may view a verse or book as literal, and others symbolic, and so on and so forth. Who, who values his life, would live by a book based solely on interpretation? I don't symbolically read i
There is an infinite amount of different denominations of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. But doesn't god say that the book is the ultimate word, and none of the law can be changed? I mean, if an atheist reads that, no wonder he is arguing with the literal interpretation in mind. The fact of the matter is, who is right? Osama bin laden believes in the literal word of the Qur'an, and American moderate Abdul does not. Who determines which of them are right? And this kids, is why there is war.
The only reason Atheists *GASP* are speaking out, is because it's about fucking time. Religion needs to be told, it does not have monopoly on truth, or good, or justice. Non-believers are usually gentle people, who act in ways that are responsible based on the consequences of their actions, and not some divinely ordained repetoire of stoney laws. Yes, a non-believer might be an asshole, but that sure as hell is not a direct outcome of his irreligiosity.
the only reason atheist bash anything spirital is becouse they want to free themself from all types of superego and do what they want. we have rational, reactve and habbitual mind. But most atheist work only on their rational mind. Try lsd just once and maybe you will light up the rest of your limited brain but who cares, do wat you want,you probably do not understand what I am talking about anyway
We can neither prove nor disprove his/her/its existence, and because of that it comes all down to BELIEVE.
Do I BELIEVE in the existence of god? No. Does my best friend BELIEVE in god? Yes. And there's no way I can change that unless he decides to stop believing himself.
sure, but just because we can't PROVE beyond all doubt that someone is wrong, doesn't mean they're not wrong. Really the argument atheists put forward is that to claim god exists is IRRATIONAL. By demonstrating to someone that their conclusion is irrational it is hoped they will and can change their conclusion. A belief is merely a conclusion a person has independently formed. For a conclusion to be valid it must be rational. Also you're a cunt and I hate you.
@fredownsu Look, maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker but what you typed up there made no fucking sense.
I was barely saying that we can neither prove nor disprove the existence of god and that's why it makes no sense to argue about it (because if someone believes in something well knowing that it can't be (dis)proven it's solely his decision).
Because of this you ramble on about shit without actually making any sense and willy-nilly invent definitions? Way to go chump.
Material scientist are stupid, becouse they want to prove the existance of matter, but there is not matter in the quantum level-none-zero, nilch! so that is fascianting. I hate reigion but I am depply spiritual. and it is true that most atheist deny the existance of god but define god. only simple minded people see god as some spooky father figure.
you have no clue what you're talking about, you clearly have just read a couple of articles on quantum physics and think that you're on some superior intellectual level to everyone else when really you've formed gross misunderstandings and used them as a foundation for your phoney belief systems. Go back to the textbooks.
@fredownsu well I have not read anthing but watched probably the greatest scientists talk about it. So please. They are foundng out some truths to spiritual realizations of masters. It is beyond what science can grasp. Type mystic hart on utube and maybe you will someday go pass your rational mind and evolve.there is no matter, everything in a sence comes from nothing.
@fredownsu and as far belive system is concern: nothing wrong with that if it is a scientfic fact. I do not belive in some father figure in the sky with notes. It is knowing which is much diferent than knowledge
@smallpotatoes989 you are beyond help. Evolve beyond a rational mind? To what...an irrational mind? I'd rather not.

Just please stop with the bullshit. Do you even know what 'evolve' means?
people that belive in god somewhere in the sky outside of themself are realy simple minded pricks.No mystic belives that. it is not of question of having belive in god but spirituality is understanding the absolute: the spirit. the rules of quantum mehanics tells us that wih our observing alone we are co-creating reality. What we mystics are concern and interested is the spirit with no intention-we call that god or godliness.the fact is that before you observe an atom it is spread all over.
The only thing I don't get about not taking it literally is this. If everything in the bible is a metaphor, wouldn't that mean God could be a metaphor for reality or some shit?
@ForeverWiked carl Jung said that what we call human soul can no be explained with ractioal mind but much easier with myth or farirytale.

Lastly, the epistemology argument has been made by several Christians and nonreligious comparing the most public form of atheism to fundamentalism. It's not based around a sign on a bus, it's based on sociological movements of the past two centuries, psychological bias, and inherited philosophy. I'm a little disturbed that someone might buy your book when you're making it very clear that you've not read any books on the subjects you pontificate about.
@zupobafono I don't think he was talking about what other people say, though. He was mentioning why this particular individual claimed atheists are becoming more fundamentalist. It was because this particular person saw that sign on a bus.
I know this is an opinion piece and you mostly just rant, but of the videos I've watched this is the most misinformed. Aside from what I already commented, you say that the Bible doesn't read like symbolism. You, good sir, are speaking out of turn. The majority of the primeval history is more easily read as symbolism. For example, Cain killed Able, right? Cain is a farmer, Able is a shepherd. Agriculture killed pastoralism. See the symbolism?
TJ, you should get in your car and get some interviews. Track down Ron Paul maybe - he does interviews readily with internet folks. I reckon it would be refreshing to see someone with a clue (and wit) doing some interviews. Maybe even get on down to some occupy sites or something. It's time to get out of the basement Amazing Atheist!
@gacktxrawr Neither is in the Bible. Some churches have read the story of Onan (Genesis 38) in such a way to condemn masturbating. Onan was pulling out, disobeying God and rejecting a cultural practice, not masturbating. As for rape, there's some stretched interpretations of a number of texts that sound like God doesn't mind rape so much.
well, some of those People do believe just that: that they hold the only Truth. Somewhat like religious People. Mr. Dawkins certainly is as bad as your average religious Nut. He didn't compare creationism with the Holocaust because he thought it was a fitting Comparison. He did it because he's a Media Whore.
So Mr. Dawkins is a bit like, for example the Westboro Baptist Church. Intentionally angering People just to make as much of a media Circus as they possibly can.
4:48 Strongly Agree. Why believe in a loving and forgiving God that sends people to hell to burn forever? It just contradicts the entire reason to worship him in the first place.... if he was real :P
@killallnonbeliever2 Why would you be afraid of something that doesn't exist?...and for the record ATHEISM IS NOT A RELIGION!!!! It is simply a lack of belief. All you religious idiots need to get that into your heads....PS AmazingAthiest keep doing what you do...Atheists Unite!!!!!
@killallnonbeliever2 no we just (unlike you) know he doesn't exist, please tell me how i can worship something i know doesn't exist yet you dont woship something you belive exists?
@killallnonbeliever2 Do you know what a CULT is? It is a religious practice. It is a small group worshiping a shrine and having a different religion than most people. Atheist are not a cult because Atheist do not believe religion. You can compare us to a cult but we will not be worshiping anything. A cult would be like the Mormons.. They are not a big religion and practice their religion where most people do not accept their beliefs. A real serious cult would be a satanist cult...
@ytcolton ugh I have a friend who says a cult is based off a religion. If I try to call Christianity a cult he says that it is a religion, not a cult. ORZ.
@killallnonbeliever2 I never insulted your beliefs although they are false. It isn't a satanist cult because we do not believe satan. We do not play heavy metal, have tattoes, cut ourselves, murder, etc (that was a joke) anyway we dont believe satan or God. And think about it... You live on a planet of trillions, the Bible was written around 33 AD. the knowledge of the world was very small back then. There are thousands of Gods believed and nothing makes yours more right than theirs.
@killallnonbeliever2 Faith is a delusional way to live. We do not have a leader he is just one of many atheists, if masturbation is a sin then every human on earth would go to hell. Hell is not real. Most of the world does not believe Hell and some Christians do not. Atheists do not believe Satan or God. You are saying stupid things that you cannot back up with any evidence and are only trying to cause debates. Go pray or waste time. You can do either one and do the same thing... waste time.
@killallnonbeliever2 You are living in a delusional life and need to ask yourself questions about God. Is God answering any prayers? Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he isn't omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then why does evil occur? Is he neither able or willing? Then why call him God? But i cant convince you because creationist do not base things off facts, evidence, and reason... just the need to believe. Brainwash
@killallnonbeliever2 Also here are the 3 signs of brainwashing religion fits. /Isolation/: The religion makes you want to believe any other religion or atheism is evil. If you think they are evil and are raised to believe it then you accept it as fact. That is one main reason of religious wars. They /control your thoughts/ by threatening you with Hell. If you sin or anything they bring that threat.(just like you are doing) /Conditioning/: They do this by making you attend church each week.
@killallnonbeliever2 a successful troll indeed, now gtfo, everyone knows your a troll, you were detected, your troll has fail. Now go sit in the corner and cry while you masturbate.
@RandomDrone79 Just because the majority of a country believes something doesn't mean it should be taught as absolute truth. By all means teach it in religious education, but don't try to put a religious belief alongside evolution. Evolution has masses of evidence. Even if you don't believe it, learning about it encourages critical thinking and searching to prove your beliefs. Teaching that creationism is a science leads to the belief that anything is true as long as enough people believe you.
I agree with most of this expect for the fact that you say barrack obama "tries to hide the fact he is black" Barrack obama is mix race NOT BLACK I find it distasteful as a mix race person when ever somoebody calls me or another mix race person black its as if you are denying the fact that we come from white heratige as well its like saying " ohhh your skin is not white so you cant be one of us you must be black" I think the world should accept that mix race people not black or white.
Dawkins didn't compare creationists and holocaust deniers. He was discussing the idiotic idea that creationism be taught as a science alongside evolution because some people believe that. He then went on to point out some people believe the holocaust is a conspiracy but that doesn't mean it's taught in history. He was drawing a reasonable comparison to show that something shouldn't be taught as truth because some people believe it. He in no way compared the two groups of people.
@curtisjmarren A small group of insane people think the holocaust didn't happen. A large group of insane people believe in creationism. That is why they want to teach it. If 80 percent of the population think something is true it should be taught.
@kingpharaohtsar Yeah jesus says that not a bit of the old law changed. God also supposedly is unchanging. By the way the new testament isn't that good either.
You were using a old argument which is not only nonsense, as it is not true, but also it shows that you have no idea of the bible. You believe what you were told to. Think about what you believe and why you believe it. And after all, what is the bible? A book. A collection of desert scriblings, altered over many years until now.
@hanspeterpitsch lol u think im religous noo but why dont u do what u just said an think about why u think the new testament is as bad as the old jesus is love yhwy is a crazy ass hole to say there the same god is silly
@jebril I can't think of a single atheist I know who acts like they're better than other people because they're an atheist. A lot of us think a belief in God is pretty silly or irrational and have trouble understanding how certain people can still hold such a belief, but that doesn't mean we think we're just all around superior creatures to them. It's just one opinion on one issue, like Tj said in the video
I believe in god, hate religion but can appreciate some concepts found in it.
The only problem I have with certain atheists is how they act like they're better then people who do believe in god or some shit. Like it matters or something, let's be honest no one really knows shit. We THINK we have all these evidence to back all these theories based on observations that we've created numerics to understand. But really we are all pretty clueless when it comes to the fundamentals of the universe.
If you believe in God and are wrong, then it's no big deal. Live a great life, die and its over.... but if you don't believe in God and are wrong it doesn't exactly turn out as well for you. It's the biggest gamble you'll ever make and no matter how much you argue your side, you can't be sure of the outcome......conclusion: it's not a good idea to be an atheist.
@rhonestonecowboy So, we should believe in something that we have no reason to believe in solely out of fear of the consequences for not believing in it? That's a rather desperate argument for faith. By that logic, I would simply posit that choosing one religion's god over another is as an equally hazardous wager.
@rhonestonecowboy We can be pretty sure of the outcome when the propability is far less than me being a superior lunatic with nuclear missiles in an alien space ship hiding behind saturn.
@rhonestonecowboy HAHAHA!! That's it? That old, shot to shit argument. Pascals wager is nothing more than indecisive, ready-to-toss-a-salad bullshit. Do you even get the fact that this is an Atheist channel and your opinion and comments are about as useless as their transparent attempt to recruit. Fuck you and your Bibblit, god fearing shit-for-brains.
@philipmarie1854 Tyr as you might, you will not succeed. The difference between you and me is we're both assholes, but at least I admit it. AT LEAST I ADMIT IT! Oh and I don't worship bullshit imaginary folk.
Ya, it's true, atheists want to take over the world.
TJ is like one of those cool second tier Nazis with that wicked pointy hat, but instead he has, um... black framed nerd glasses... and a poor mans beard...
The link to his book didn't work, I wanted to read about it.
i dont believe in religion but dont call myself an athiest because i do not want to name my beliefs in accordance with the lack of another. what i mean is atheist means someone who isnt theist shouldnt be like that we should be normal and dey believe its different
I love how people think that just because t.j is atheists he's automatically gay. This is why people hate religious folk. Because they're all butthurt because there is people out there smarter than they are.
@LordDarkChucklez And this is why Christians hate some atheists: you assume to be smarter than us, you assume to be ebtter people than us, you stereotype us into a strawman group and instead of trying to see why we oppose homosexuality and what not either because of social reasons, you automatically assume we oppose it because we're homophobic. We can say the same for atheists by saying they are butthurt that they didn't influence society so much as religion did.
@philipmarie1854 Number one: your just proving my point by spelling better wrong. Number 2: I do know why christians hate gays so much and even coming from god (someone who loves you no matter what) being homophobic would seem kind of farfetched don't you thing. And Number 3: And if you belive that any race should be accepted in society then why can't atheists and other religous groups be accepted as well. BTW we don't care if christians hate us we have our beliefs you have yours. good day sir.
@LordDarkChucklez Again with the spelling bullcrap? Anyway, we're not homophobic at all. Its this type of stereotyping that we hate. We oppose gay people who are promiscuos and justify their sexual perversions on the grounds that its 'normal'. It is normal to have love the same sex by wishing them well, and even to have sexual feelings about them. Its this that we oppose, as nobody should be treated as a sex object. Secondly, who said that we oppose atheists from being accepted as members of
@LordDarkChucklez society? Unless your kid is an utter douche and hurts the family by despising their christianity despite they themselves doing notihng to harm him, its cruel to reject a kid ebcause he's atheist or gay. But we don't think atheists are evil except a few of them, people like Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, etc... they don't want to hear why we beleive the tihngs we believe, they paint us as strawmen, they say that religion can do no good at all and other rubbish. You yourselves don't
@LordDarkChucklez like it when someone says you're all evil, so how do you think we react? Again, we don't think that even the majority of atheists are evil, we think militant ones are douchebags who pose a threat to society as these are the ones that want to remove all religion from public life, and thats not good as religion can and does do good. People in the past did do evil but to oppose religion on this grounds is like saying democracy is bad because of the french revolution (40k killed).
@philipmarie1854 Proving my point about being butthurt. I never said anything about hating the christian faith. Right now your just rambling and you sound like a retard. And why are you complaining about millitant atheists? Hardly any atheists want the entire christian faith wiped out. We just don't want it in politics. Why? Because there is a difference between being run by an actual person and being run by a fake diety.
@LordDarkChucklez Hardly run by a fake deity. The Pope is a person, and so were the king and queens of the past. They jsut accepted the Catholic religion as sometihng special. You may not want that but people like Hitchens and Dawkins, if they don't really want to destroy religion act like they do. If I am butthurt sir, I can say that so is T.J and so are you for viewing this video. But you're not, nobody calls all atheists evil even though the man who wrote that article only called out IMO only
@LordDarkChucklez those atheists who spread so many lies about religion and want to remove it from all asects of life. Thats impossible.
Again, theres nothing wrong for religion to have political power as long as it does not abuse civil liberties (something which all governments should listen to). There were good theocrats as there were bad ones like Leo the Great, Gabriel Garcia Moreno, Maximilian I of Mexico and even Isabella I of Castille despite doing some shady actions.
@LordDarkChucklez The hundred years war had NOTHING to do with religion. It was a war between France and England to see who had the right to the throne (some Caths say it was France who was right). The 30 years war did have religious aspects to it, such as freedom of certain religions and what not. Nobody was right in it. On the one hand, you had Catholics who wanted to ban Protestants from practicing their faith and on the other, you had Prots doing the same exact thing. However, the Pope was
@LordDarkChucklez neutral during the whole thing and both sides had reasons to to wage war, although it could all have been prevented if Luther had not begun his utterly unsuccessful 'reformation' of the Church... the Council of Trent remvoed alot of the corruption in Priests, not Luther who left the Church 'cos of theological opinions.
@philipmarie1854 But have you ever thought...huh? if luther just didn't give a shit about religion then the war wouldn't have even happened? What i'm saying is religion is just another reason for retards to start drama and wars if god was real would he want wars to be waged because of him. No! for anyone to even think that would be fucked up. Why should people die over someone that they can't even see let alone hear. Your logic is not logical.
@LordDarkChucklez By your words, its as if you're saying that religion is bad because wars started because of it. Wars did start because of religion like the Northern (NOT eastern, the ones agaisnt Muslim lords) crusades, the 30 years war, etc... but thats like saying democracy is bad because the French revolution killed 40000 and the US kicked natives out of their homeland, not to mention the fact that secularist regimes in the 20th cent. often banned religion. Does that mean democracy is bad?
@LordDarkChucklez No. Pope Leo XIII supported it as long as it doesn't go immoral. But wars have been started to establish secularist and democratic rules and yet were the actions worth it?
Christianity did spread peacefully and oppose alot of the practices its contemporaries did. Pope Leo talked Atilla the Hun out of the country, Bart de la Casas, the Dominicans and the Spanish acrown opposed the exceses of conquisatador lords until slavery in Spain was abolished in 1600, etc...

@philipmarie1854 i'm sorry but i'm not going to argue with someone who uses wiki for a source during an argument. you're wasting my time buddy goodbye.
@philipmarie1854 And isn't it kind of ironic that a document that comes from the church is called a bull? Wouldn't that mean that everything coming from the church is bull?
@philipmarie1854 If you actually think it's okay for religion to run society you're off your rocker. And he is a madeup deity. He's a fictional character. You might as well say that society should be run according to the wisdom of Gandalf.
No T.J, he's angry not because of that fucking sign, he's angry and pissed off that militant atheists such as Dawkins don't acknowledge that religion did good, they don't acknowledge it is beneficial to society and oppose him for trying to destroy religion. He spent 30 years speaking against God and what has he accomplished? Nothing. Culturally, he's invisible. Thats the point. If you want to criticize something, research it and learn its real beliefs, not what you beleive that faith is.
Being an atheist isn't like saying "I like ice cream." One is an objective position, and the other is a subjective preference. In a society of 80% atheists, being an atheist would be more like being a non-astrologer or a non-tarot card believer.
@IseeRightThrough2you liking ice cream is an objective position, as being an atheist is a subjective preference. those 2 terms are essentially the same.
nstructions to put together a table or TV stand. So why should the book, which is supposed to tell people how live, who to serve, what to do with their life, etc. be any different? Thus it makes sense to read it literally. But literally, the Bible is contradictory and dangerous. There's my case.

Lastly, the epistemology argument has been made by several Christians and nonreligious comparing the most public form of atheism to fundamentalism. It's not based around a sign on a bus, it's based on sociological movements of the past two centuries, psychological bias, and inherited philosophy. I'm a little disturbed that someone might buy your book when you're making it very clear that you've not read any books on the subjects you pontificate about.

@zupobafono I don't think he was talking about what other people say, though. He was mentioning why this particular individual claimed atheists are becoming more fundamentalist. It was because this particular person saw that sign on a bus.

I know this is an opinion piece and you mostly just rant, but of the videos I've watched this is the most misinformed. Aside from what I already commented, you say that the Bible doesn't read like symbolism. You, good sir, are speaking out of turn. The majority of the primeval history is more easily read as symbolism. For example, Cain killed Able, right? Cain is a farmer, Able is a shepherd. Agriculture killed pastoralism. See the symbolism?

When did God kill a guy for masturbating and when did he command moses to rape girls? I want to know so I can look it up. Thanks!
gacktxrawr 1 week ago
@gacktxrawr Neither is in the Bible. Some churches have read the story of Onan (Genesis 38) in such a way to condemn masturbating. Onan was pulling out, disobeying God and rejecting a cultural practice, not masturbating. As for rape, there's some stretched interpretations of a number of texts that sound like God doesn't mind rape so much.

well, some of those People do believe just that: that they hold the only Truth. Somewhat like religious People. Mr. Dawkins certainly is as bad as your average religious Nut. He didn't compare creationism with the Holocaust because he thought it was a fitting Comparison. He did it because he's a Media Whore.
So Mr. Dawkins is a bit like, for example the Westboro Baptist Church. Intentionally angering People just to make as much of a media Circus as they possibly can.

Atheist are not a cult because Atheist do not believe religion. You can compare us to a cult but we will not be worshiping anything. A cult would be like the Mormons..

By all means teach it in religious education, but don't try to put a religious belief alongside evolution. Evolution has masses of evidence. Even if you don't believe it, learning about it encourages critical thinking and searching to prove your beliefs. Teaching that creationism is a science leads to the belief that anything is true as long as enough people believe you.

Dawkins didn't compare creationists and holocaust deniers. He was discussing the idiotic idea that creationism be taught as a science alongside evolution because some people believe that. He then went on to point out some people believe the holocaust is a conspiracy but that doesn't mean it's taught in history. He was drawing a reasonable comparison to show that something shouldn't be taught as truth because some people believe it. He in no way compared the two groups of people.

@curtisjmarren A small group of insane people think the holocaust didn't happen. A large group of insane people believe in creationism. That is why they want to teach it. If 80 percent of the population think something is true it should be taught.
