1:16 is what peter said the most childish thing ever said in a debate? Or is it just me?

[pacotheus]

Go on!! Because it is this "stupid question" that believers need to have explained to them. They really don't get it!

That was just one of my points, and of course I don't believe hell exists, but i was refering to the fact that to most people I deserve eternal punishment just for not being as gullible as they are. As i said, i could not care less about what other people believe, AS LONG as that does not interfere with other people's lives and rights.

THIS IS disturbing for you? The Hell? it might be if you believe. If you dont believe man, honestly, i dont see a reason why care!!! So friend wait until you die and than you will see.

Okay, here are my honest answers, I wouldn't have a problem if people believed anything they wanted, as long as they keep it to themselves, the problem begins when i have to live with religion's balls constantly hitting against my face. The problem begins when I get told that I'm going to hell just because I don't believe in tales which have no scientific ground nor evidence. The problem begins when i find so much ignorance in my country and realize it's mainly because of religion. So yep.

[Daniel Brooks]

i might understand but the point is that you replied me first to my comment. So while you consider that you have no obligation to demonstrate if there is a God you attack religion. Based on WHAT? If you are not able to demonstrate and not willing to demonstrate why you claim there is no God?????? Why you are so obsessed with religion? If you are atheist than live your life!! What is your problem? I need some honest answers

And yet again, you decide not to follow my advice and put yourself in a ridiculous position. I DON'T have to prove there is no God, but the people who say THERE IS a God should prove that he exists. If say i have an invisible dragon, I AM the one who has to prove it, not you. Can't you understand something as simple as this?

[Daniel Brooks]

hahah "it's impossible to hate something that does not exist"?????? than prove me there is no God! Oh you can't. So what is your point? Don't you have a life?

[hellboyreloaded]

Christopher Hitchens didn't hate God, it's impossible to hate something that does not exist. He simply didn't believe the claim that there was a god without evidence, one should be stupid to believe such thing. Also, the he's alive because he believes in God and he's dead because he doesn't logic, seem a little too stupid for anyone even with the slightest reasoning. So my advice is: Think before you say anything, don't let yourself be so ridiculous again.

damn all we have left now is peter on the issues of 2013 and no-one to stop the clapping.

I don't see how that's any more or any less 'childish' than Christopher suggesting Peter is jealous that his article was more widely syndicated....
