i was wondering if you could answer a question? what are your opinions on religion in general and by that i mean alot of atheists ive met think that religion is an institution to comfort the stupid (and ive heard a few say that word for word) and i was wondering if you felt the same way? i myself am a wiccan and i believe that all religions are right because they all lead to the same higher power (as alot of wiccans do). so please tell me your oppinion. blessed be

@birdman1592 Early religion was a creation of man to explain natures fury. Later they added the concept of the afterlife to make themselves feel less afraid of dying. I believe close to the way you do. All religions lead to the same end. Not a higher power but an empty promise. Some would argue its stupid people who believe. I say its the fearful people. They are afraid of oblivion so grab at any chance of eternal life, no matter how absurd the concept is.

1) Thanks for calling me attractive! 2) Thank you for, once again, making such a helpful video on my questions. I can always count on you for a serious, thought-provoking answer.

You using a compressor on your voice? Keeps on ducking.

[Crosisborg]

@ultimateinfinite I have no idea what you mean.

@DieAtheists I bet you are a preacher

also, when you say, "you can spend your life focusing on a mythology", it leaves the door wide open for christians to say, "you are spending your life focusing on my focusing on a mythology". to that i would say, "i make no claims of your demise differing from mine."

[holybabble]

dude, you had me cringing for a moment there, because so many of us think that religion is fine. we are taught to, 'let people believe what they want to'. although i haven't been watching many videos over the past year, and this is the first of your's that i've seen in a long while...you made my day with your comment, "no, it is not okay to believe in a religion".

i feel (as sam harris) it 'enables' fundamentalists, and even terrorists, by simply giving them a larger group to call their's.

Crosisborg, how do you know that religion isn't real?

[snakebitgoat]

You need to believe in something whether its faith or something else. It's a fact of life. In fact if you believe in nothing you might as well be dead. Think about it if you don't believe in life at the fundamentals you should just off yourself.

Not trying to offend yourself but deep down everything can be a fairy tale if you think it is.
