philhellenes: Why Don't Scientists Fear Hell?

i think more people should watch this video, and i think my subscribers definitively need to know about philhellenes, so im re-uploading this.

oh, and, a small note for german subscribers, somehow unrelated: check out the article about the "giordano bruno stiftung" in the german wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno_Stiftung
or the english article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno_Foundation

original description:
"It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people."

Giordano Bruno - burned alive by the catholic church in 1600, using real flames, presumably because they feared their God might do a sloppy job.

"Organized religion will mess you up."

Philhellenes - burned last night by a hot piece of cheese, and always glad not to be living in 1600.

While you can't provide any scientific evidence that God doesn't exist, you somehow think that the fact that scientists disproportionately don't believe in God somehow demonstrates a causal relationship between scientific practice and lack of religious belief. With all your nattering about science, have you never heard "correlation is not causation"?

@stallion4life

its not possible to prove a negative. to prove that god does not exist, we would ned to search the whole universe. But i can assume that god does not exist, and given the current situation that there is NO evidence FOR the existence of god, thats enough. Also, who makes the claim has to present the evidence, many people say that many gods exist, hinduism, islam, shintu, ... .. . You say the biblical god exists, i say i dont believe that without evidence.

no such thing as a "quantum reaction" as far as i know, never heard one of my tutors mention that, not even docter o'brien who created the first nano particle, the carbon 60 molecule, and she WOULD know... loads of giveaway clues he know nothing - that one is a confusion of chemistry and physics terminology, as many believers learn "the language of god" to fit in if that what the society demands, many neo-atheists learn "the language of science" while knowing NOTHING of science at all, similar,w

your nickname has troll in it, so instead of responding to your nonsensical comment ill just block you.

@AntidoteY Well, my point is that SOME Christians are Christians because they fear hell, and some innocent people are innocent because they fear jail. However, this doesn't mean jail or hell are there for that. It makes no sense to become or still Christian because of hell, since it's easier to be atheist and don't think anymore about those possibilities.

[AntidoteY]

...I don't get this comment.

Hell doesn't exist. Christians believe it does, and they definitely do fear it; it's a compelling reason to be a Christian, because if you're not, hell awaits your eternal after-life (an absurd thing in itself.)

[belegulo]

Christians don't fear hell. Do innocent people fear jail?

@kurtilein3 That...was kinda harsh. I was looking forward to an insightful response to TrollCatcher2010's statement. Wot about God Particles? Keep in mind Im not a brilliant fellow.

@kurtilein3 Note: there would be no believing if you would have the evidence

@stallion4life Correlation does not necessarily equal causation, but here it pretty clearly is the case that this correlation is indicative of the causation, else we wouldn't even have the concept of a divide between science and religion.

[stallion4life]

"God confounding mechanisms of pure chance"? No, there's nothing in science that "confounds" the idea of an interventionist God. If anything, the mechanistic conceptions the prevailed before QM seemed most problematic. Somehow the idea of God is never so easily dismissed.
