@DrHowbeit Amen to that!

This man is blowing hot air and hoping it passes as an argument. Atheists like Dawkins who respect science do not follow some dogma taken at face value without question as theists do. Science continually searches for truth, discarding old ideas once they have been disproven and works to further understanding of the nature of all things. Theists are generally stuck with something created by primitive societies thousands of years ago and exist as anachronisms in the modern world.

Tolerance is a virtue, but it does have boundaries. It's actually strange to request tolerance for ancient beliefs that have yet to come up with evidence and bearing. I believe in freedom of religion, that's tolerance, but religion should not influence politics, that's absonant. If Christians stayed out of other people's lives I'm sure they would face less antagonism. You can't harass homosexuals, ban abortion and stem cell research and at the same time demand tolerance.

Those comments you read out are a little offensive granted, but if we compare them to the Bible, with it's rape, murder, genocide and assorted violence, they rather pale into insignificance in comparison.

If the Bible were a film, it would be rated XXX because of all the sex & violence in it, yet the Bible is given to young kids to read. If there wasn't someone interpreting it for them, they would have difficulty in identifying ANY 'moral guidance' in there, It's THAT primitive and intolerant.

ok, the point you make at 5:30 is just plain incorrect. Christianity is inherintly intolerant (not the opposite, as you falsely propose), it outlines that unless you believe in their version of god, you will go to hell, regardless of your actual morality. If you are a Christian that has actually thought about what it says in the scripture, you will realise that you are either not a Christian or you believe that anyone who isn't a Christian will suffer damnation for eternity and they deserve to

Is this guy for real? Has he never been on the internet before? Every argument on the internet ever degenerates into namecalling, regardless of who is arguing.

I just haven't seen any credible evidence of any God or Gods. Nothing more.

I agree with your assessment about humans, but religion is sectarian by nature. "The fool said in his heart there is no God". Your holybook itself endorses bigotry & predjudice. The fact that you endorse the book speaks for itself.
