Very good conversation - and brilliant suggestion by first questioner about translating videos into other languages.

[MrPersianpoetry]

I am an Iranian atheist(and not the only one) and what the first questioner said is absolutely right..I am very impressed that he knew that Iranian atheist do exist.

[Jshect]

Yes, the audience member had an excellent point. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be an atheist in Iran. You would probably be killed if you proclaimed you were an atheist. And if you didn't pray nonstop and didn't go to the mosque regularly they would suspect you were a nonbeliever. Are there any athiests in the middle east who can tell us their story?

[GuacamoleKun]

Yes, please translate these videos! I have never been religious but I did not have the critical thinking skills I do today until I started watching videos like this online. The ideas being discussed here need to be spread. They can help ANYONE who has an interest in finding truth, not just the people who are trapped by religion.

Evolution is a fact and if your don't think so then you can fuck off

@AtheismKills Myers has publicly said he doesn't like (or hates, I can't remember) Islam "because it's stupid". Dawkins has also publicly decried Islam. They spend less time on it because the places they live are predominantly Christian.

Study for the next two years what's wrong with evolution? Wtf lol? If you have actually studied and have even a basic understanding of how it works and you still don't accept it then there's something wrong with you..not the science. Either too arrogant or too ignorant. Let me just ask you where you think dogs came from? You think there were pit bulls and bull-mastiffs and dobermans on Noah's arc?

[gateshead1000]

@AtheismKills Right enough, but I wouldn't be that brave in inviting violence on myself and my family for expressing opinion.

[supergamwich]

@AAAjMMMiRRR

Right. Seriously, ever looked at religious people their outfits?

Whats with all the funny hats, just to name one thing?

[CookieWalka]

I eat crackers when I'm hungover.  Jesus never made me feel so goooooood!

RD was debating in a 'southern state', a couple years ago. There, live on open tv, here, channel four, clips and talk about the church going public against it but ignored by the evil west secularism. Now, he sound like if they are part of the roman empire. RD+$ = brits / bricks.
