@ieatwiteoutforfun Honestly, all the republican candidates have some messed up view making it difficult to vote for any of them. Yes, I agree some of Ron Paul's position in science is ridiculous, but I do agree with his libertarian views. So comparative to the other candidates, I think he's a be...

It's a "loaded" simple question because it assumes there was a reason with the "why" appended at the end. Where did the universe come from? Who knows? If I asked you where the water on Mars come from and you couldn't provide an answer, can I claim that it came from aliens from another galaxy and ...

jeez do they pay admission to get into that?

@ResolutionVids There are people out there asserting God's existence as fact, but that's beside the point. The point I wanted to make is why believe there's a God who created the universe to begin with? It might be a convenient answer but I rather have an accurate explanation which is supported ...

I'm not intolerant of religion. I'm intolerant of stupid ideologies.

FF6 soundtrack > FF7 soundtrack hands down

@MegaFloyd100 Peloza v. Capistrano School District: "In this 1994 case, a science teacher argued that, by requiring him to teach evolution, his school district was forcing him to teach the "religion" of secular humanism. The Court responded, 'We reject this claim because neither the Supreme Court...

4:50 Well I also told the truth more often than I lied, doesn't that make me a honest person? I also paid for things a lot more often than I have stolen too.

The problem with this line of reasoning is first we have to accept that there is a God that send people to hell for sinning in the first place instead of assuming there's a God that send people for hell for sinning. The Christian theology sure does state that but how do we even know if that theo...

I don't know why this video got so many thumbs down. He's not advocating it just pointing it out.

@ShattockIan It's the age old argument from ignorance. Because the poster believes that our current physics isn't adequate to explain the universe, he automatically assume it must be a God because he can't think of any other reason. No physicist admitted defeat, only acknowledging that the curre...

Um I would like to use a life line. Yea i want to call my buddy Jesus. Oh no you don't have to phone him I'll just close my eyes and pray to him. I'm sure he'll just reveal the answer to me. If he doesn't want me win then he must have a greater plan for me which I do not understand.

Easiest way to resolve this issue? Have more scholarships that give rewards to people REGARDLESS of the color of the skin. Racism exist because people keep pointing it out.

@jake44514 Yea saying you're "agnostic" about God is basically saying "I don't know what I believe in." If you don't know what you believe in, then you don't have much introspection or you just don't want to admit it to yourself. And to claim to have any "higher" ground to both atheism and theism...

@DisiIIusioned Well there is "to know" and there is "to believe". I agree with agnostics that we don't know whether a God actually exist or not and I'm sure plenty of theist would too. But it's the "belief" part that gets confusing. How can you believe and not believe in a God? What's the thir...

So God has to threaten people with hell instead of just showing himself? Wow he IS so wonderful. Wonderfully evil.

Meh, you can all pass as much judgement as you want but in the end doesn't everyone done something in private they don't want to share with the public? At least TJ took the high road and not made a big deal out of unlike most morons on the internet.

It's not so much that we blame God for evil but use it as a point that if a God does exist, then he allows evil to happen without intervening.

@ponchred Well when people criticize other people's faith, they will get offended no matter how well mannered they are.

@heteng There's a difference between invoking critical thought on an idea and having people try to decipher a run-on sentence. The latter is a waste of time.

@mchisolm0 Okay but I wouldn't call my acknowledgement of gravity to be based on faith. Usually when I hear the word "faith" there's a strong association of that word to religion. So when people say "you gotta have faith" then it's usually applied to some spirituality.

Ok, this is how I became an atheist. I started questioning why I was a christian and after months/years of various research on the history and philosophy of this religion, I drop my belief in christianity. I have no reason to believe that any other religion is correct either so there are 2 positi...

It appalls how much you claim to know about atheism yet be wrong in almost everything you said about it. I disagree with you therefore I secretly believe there's a God? I care about the truth and religion is the one claiming to having it so I refute its claim. If religion was benign, then there w...

I wonder what would happen if 2 solipsist met each other and they try to convince the other one that they were just a figment of their own imagination.

Reason why no atheist will answer that is because simply we don't know. I can throw out a lot of conjectures and will be most likely wrong in every single one. So rather than making up an answer or using the God of the gaps, I'll just be honest in saying "I don't know."

Oh yea some harmless senior plays a prank so lets put him in prison so he can become a harden criminal when he gets out! Makes perfect sense.

@SchizophrenicSpencer I define faith to believing something without any good reason to. Christianity have God and Buddist believe in reincarnation. Is there any real hard documented evidence for either? Not really no. The only reason to believe in either is on faith. "Faith that faith doesnt exi...

@Awake4Truth Does Galileo ring a bell? It was blasphemy to think the universe wasn't geocentric (Earth is the center of the universe), and Darwin's theory met much criticism by the Church. And as for your first statement, its not a matter of just letting other believing what they want. Religion i...

So using the pie example Penn and Teller gave, to me it seems like Teller would have a lot of pie while Penn has less. But instead of Penn getting more pie from Teller, he would give a portion of his pie to the government while Teller does the same. Under the Obama tax plan, Penn will have to gi...

What's even more funny is if a creationist saw this video, they would have thought the creationist pwn the biologist.

@UndeadSamurai01 But don't get me wrong I'm also in favor of cutting military spending, ending tax cuts for the rich and cutting down subsides. I just believe that entitlements are a bad idea. If you start getting social security but then die soon afterwards, that's it you don't get any of that...

Multi-level scams, err I mean businesses, work by scamming, I mean recruiting people so they can scam, oops I mean recruit more people so the people on the bottom gets screwed over while people on the top collects the most money. It's a system of continuous scamming, I mean recruiting.

You're never going to change anyone's mind if you just assert what you believe in without any real arguments to support your position. Keep in mind only about 30% of people in the world are Christians, the other 70% don't care if you believe your God is "offended" by evolution.

@DjYoungSkeff its 400*6! -> 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 so 400*720 is about 300000

I'm still trying to pick my jaw off the floor.

If we changed "Under God" to "Under Allah", I wonder how fast will Christians change their perspective of why Atheist are against it. Secularism is there to protect religion.

its just irks me when he has his latern out while standing under a torch! burning precious oil and using tinder boxes all over the place!

This is totally unrealistic... that's just more bullets you gotta dig out later when you cook it!

lol really? wow i would be sad if i was still playing WoW

Everything but the Tyrant is true. I would have to slap myself if I ever wore black like that.
