Paxo shows the difference between US and UK interviewers "do you really care that there are a lot of stupid people around" you're not going to hear that on Fox's version of News Night

Sounds like a wonderful book.

@ParadoxEternal Fuck off.

Atheism is a myth many believe in.

@justcurious9823929 Emails? What? Are you high? Your bullshit argument got crushed so now you're mad and saying you don't care like a typical 5 year old. Tough luck.

@justcurious9823929 Well done, you can add numbers to make them equal zero. But until mankind has a full understanding of how the universe works, your assumption will just be based on ignorance and a lack of knowledge rather than vis versa. Also, our planet is not being "destroyed", it has survived meteor impacts, global ice ages and more. The only thing being destroyed is organic life, including mankind, and birth control is certainly more humane than killing people as you're suggesting.

@justcurious9823929 Hilarious. But seriously, what is the logic to your comment? Life is finite therefore it has no meaning. So if everyone was immortal then life would have meaning? If he only cared about money then why choose his specific career path, and one that would cause such controversy and difficulty.

"why he is campaigning. Oh, that's right. Money." That comment is so stupid it's insulting.

@justcurious9823929 How enlightening. By that logic you should just kill yourself.

Dawkins is highlighting some wonderful natural stories but he could tone it down a little. For example, at 3:57 "We started off this f***ing planet with fragments of dust"

"..ignorant and stupid adults.." lol!

I'm no religious biggot in fact I hate Benny Hinn and the likes...But what solution will he offer for humanity? It is a fact that all weapons ever invented have eventually been used in war, and today horrific nuclear, thermonuclear weapons are stored everywhere...What? Is there a peaceful millenium coming for humans or what? L0L You ought to be naive to believe that, I mean to believe in ourselves that can correct our 2000 plus history of self destruction.

William Lane Craig has no argument to offer. Merely a mealy-mouthed version of the Emperor's New Clothes applying to his chosen deity.

It's a waste of Dawkins' time to even entertain this self-important chump. As it would be to attempt to debat the world's most fervent Star Wars fanatic who claims that "The Force" is real - "and why won't Dawkins debate me?"
