So "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour?" It's an odd question. What do we need to be saved from? If God made the universe the way it is aren't we being saved from what he did? By whom? Jesus Christ, God's "representative" here? Does this make sense? No, of course not. Christianity is just...

I watched the first part of this and I know there are conventional explanations for at least two of the sitings I have seen so far, yet those explanations aren't mentioned in the video, and it is implied that "experts are baffled". So I don't think the extraterrestrial visitor theory should be ta...

Nothing too mysterious there, just a reflection of the Sun off a bright cloud. There are many interesting phenomena in the sky: halos, sun dogs, crepuscular rays, etc. They can be quite spectacular.

@Sageman101 The order and timing of creation in Genesis is undoubtedly wrong. Even after apologists mangle the orignal story almost out of recognition it's still wrong! Do you deny this? Faith is the act of believing some arbitrary story and deluding yourself into believing it's true. I could use...

@Sageman101 Do you understand the nature of scientific proof? Scientific theories are supported by facts but at any time the evidence could change. Therefore nothing is ever accepted as 100% proved. However there are some theories which are so good that it's virtually impossible that they are fun...

The reason our economy is so poor currently is that we have followed the free market economics the nutters at Act recommend. It hasn't worked in the past. Why would we want more of those discredited policies now?

I wonder how many of these people realise their beliefs are bullshit. Surely they must when they reflect on it. There's so much obvious mythology in Christianity that any intelligent person must recognise it for the childish fairy tale it really is.

@grig035 I've Googled the central message and got ideas as diverse as "belief in Jesus is necessary to be saved" (from what?) to "give the church money" to "God is love" to the traditional "do unto others...". So who knows what that message actually is? I've never heard anyone quote the other two...

@KamekoBruns OK, I guess you'll just carry on believing what you want. Thanks for the discussion.

@bloppingthelump5277 It was the retention rate I quoted. That is the number of iPhone users who would buy it again. That is a good indicator of how good the product is, isn't it? 89% compared with just 39% for the BEST Android phone? Seems fairly obvious to me: iPhone is the best by far! Oh, and ...

@pearsc5d Why do you say I am the blind man? Maybe it is you who is blind. I have the facts on my side. All you have is church dogma. Who is more likely to be truly blind? I can't quite understand what you are trying to say in the rest of the message so can't comment further.

OK, I'm not flying with Air NZ any more. Don't want to risk seeing that video again!

@lookatmepleasesir 1. I think there is a difference. Atheism is lack of a religious worldview so it can hardly be accused of being an ideology. Also atheism is what most people would agree the scientific method supports. 2. The destruction of which churches? It seems to me that most churches are ...

So the idiotic, irrelevant, evil laws in the Old Testament apply and several contradictory laws in the New Testament also apply? No wonder Christians are so confused and messed up. What a joke!

Every Christian - and I mean every one: complete idiots to intelligent and educated people - is the same. They just haven't really thought about what they believe. When they are challenged like this their beliefs turn to nothing, because that's what Christianity really is: nothing.

I like the colour scheme. Maybe all Air NZ's aircraft should be painted this colour. The back is very NZ. Just don't put the "crazy about rugby" stuff on them all!

This is what happens when people take their religion much too seriously! I do think this video makes the problem look a lot worse than it really is though. You can find examples of extremist nutters everywhere but that doesn't mean their demands will be taken seriously. As Christopher Hitchens sa...
