Atheism Not Morally Sound

American Vision's new commercial against the "new" atheism of Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins. Makes a good point.

Robespierre was a deist who wished for his particular beliefs to become state religion, sorry.

Another idiot who can't tell the difference between atheism and nihilism.

This is Hitler. He liked to think that he was doing all of his work because God told him to. This is (insert random christian), he believes in God, just like Hitler, so he must do the same things Hitler did to the Jews.

I'm speechless. That was the biggest load of unintelligible drivel I've heard in a long time.

I'm baptized a Lutheran, but I'm also a microbiology major and these discussions always kill me.

My problem with this video is it makes Christians out to be complete morons. I mean in the way that her analogies are so far off base it's insane.

Just because two people hold similar ideas does not mean they are exactly alike. Not every Christian goes around killing Muslims like in the Crusades...

Haha, ridiculous video!!

[Elvisdogg]

umm... us atheists get our morals from EXACTLY the same root source that religion-pushers do.

From the social evolution of prehistoric cooperative human tribes. The golden rule "do unto others" etc was not just niceness, it was a SURVIVAL TRAIT. Tribes that avoided stealing, murder, rape etc prospered and reproduced better.

it's that simple.

morality comes from a book? lol

no wonder religion-pushers hate evolution so much, it totally undermines your moral authority.

I don't believe in god, and I have morals. I sure didn't get them from religion because I was not raised religious. The "points" made in this video were not points at all, in fact, the creator of this video missed the point of Dawkins completely. Check out the venus project, the way we should be living. Society base on the scientific METHOD, not just science in general, mind you.
