Wow, Ron Paul's face at the end of the video looks like he's about to walk across the stage and LITERALLY castrate Newt.

@YouTubricant Spot on for suggesting that full marriage rights between two men or two women would somehow degrade his own marriage?

Erm, even if we granted Keyes' point, what's wrong with changing the definition or "purpose" of marriage so it can now allow for equal rights for all people?

I love the video description: "Michael Shermer, Sam Harris, and Deepak Chopra debate on god and consciousness."

Meanwhile Jean stares off into the distance and talks about......something, nothing, I have no idea.

@ricolombax No joke. If I had the chance to interview them, I think I'd make it a point not to even mention that song. :)

When this video first started I thought to myself "What is Pontius going to do, drumming would just be too loud for this version." And then when he starts in at :54 it just increased the awesomeness by approximately 250%.

@guyfromdubai You can, but usually the logic applies to every OTHER aspect of their lives aside from religion. :)

@gstaz Are you equating free will with intelligence? If we have no free will we have no intelligence? That makes no sense.

@yogsmith1 Eh, not necessarily, but it IS just his opinion and makes no sense as a grand pronouncement about the overall quality or value of this clip.

@ahallidie Who ever said she was a libertarian?

I think the whole problem started with the first attempt to solve it. He sort of messed up on "Philbin" but he said the rest of it correctly. Then, on subsequent attempts, everyone tried to say something *other* than what the first guy said, because they thought what he said was wrong.

I think t...

I assume YouTube is in favor of the UN Resolution to make blasphemy illegal. The first step in making me never want to use YouTube anymore.

@Hkhan23 They were not theories. It was simply assumed the Earth was round. Furthermore, of course the Koran didn't "theorize," it's written as if it's the word of god. But the misrepresentation of divine authority shouldn't be confused with the real thing.

And where in the Koran is the big bang...

Did she ever really make a point that involved being a woman??

"Science is now in a process of overthrowing the climactic overthrow of the superstition of materialism."

WTF?

As soon as they pull out the "I'm not an expert" and "Each person will come to their own conclusion" arguments, you know they're floundering for an answer.

@khight02 But the keyboard keys bring them together in racial harmony.

@Compooky121 I agree, it was really good, but I don't understand why he didn't sing "we" and "young" more as a single note instead of the garbled way he did it. I think long notes sound so much more powerful, and clearly he can do it live, as he did with "sun".

The first time I heard this song, I just knew it was Maroon 5. Then when I looked at the song info on the radio screen, I was shocked to see another band's name. Now it all makes sense. :)

@missyroxxiee Apparently they have two other guys who tour with them, but I'm not sure he's one of them. And the guy on the left as well could be the other one.

@MezzoPiano23 Unfortunately no :(

Do the other two guys always play with them? I thought there were three in the band, but I see these other two guys on the live stuff.

@doublechocofrappe Jesus, just relax! They are not THAT bad, and what do you expect!? This is Letterman! They are not playing in a stadium, nor is there a mosh pit or whatever else you expect to make this audience "good," nor did this particular audience necessarily come to the show to even see F...

@VIDEOSPISTOLA Personally, I couldn't stop watching the dinosaur.

@99trow The Taliban is NOT associated with the 9/11 attacks, aside from harboring Al Qaeda. I hope you aren't implying that the Taliban *directed* the attacks. And the reason we have been there for 10 years was to find bin Laden. Now, don't misunderstand me, I certainly don't think the objectives...

@healdogtoe2c But I sometimes wonder if Hitchens' didn't make too much of a big deal of this "glossing over." I understand that Marx is really criticizing economic and political frameworks, not so much religion itself. In that regard, it would be right to argue that this quote really isn't about ...

@johnjsal Third, given your defense of the intellectual fortitude of a 15-year old, I'm surprised you don't find the host on the left at least somewhat dismissive when he asks the caller's age and then said "I hope this isn't over Ariel's head." Even *I* found that insulting.

@jmakerul 2003 is old school?

@MrPianoJames "Someone who doesn't believe in a God is not the same as someone who believes there is no God."

Well, I'm an atheist and I still don't understand the importance of this distinction. I'd really love to have this explained to me in some detail. It just seems to be a semantic argumen...

Ha, the fact that you think a QUESTION can "destroy" atheism, as opposed to the ANSWER or lack thereof, speaks volumes for just how unwilling you are to actually listen to the evidence.

To the guy on the right in the interview: just because atheists "spend a lot of time fighting" about religion doesn't necessarily mean they know the answers because they research the religions to have ammunition against believers. That is certainly one explanation, but you somewhat stupidly gloss...

@nluzwick1 So you're willing to say that a theistic god is changeless but not static? What's the difference? If this is just a matter of semantics, then it's pointless.

Ah, push off the ledge! Diabolical!
