Richard Dawkins Debates Christian Dogma

Richard Dawkins Debates Christian Dogma

British TV 2011
Remaining true to our goal of engaging secular culture on critical issues in a thoughtful, respectful manner, Fixed Point Foundation will sponsor a debate on what is arguably the most critical question of our time: the existence of God. The decision one makes regarding this question has implications that reverberate throughout eternity to be sure, but it also affects temporal existence from government policy to the individual. Historically, man's belief in the transcendent has served as a restraint on his conduct and provided hope for his future. Now, it is argued, "God is dead", and man can do very well without him.

The debate will feature Professor Richard Dawkins, Fellow of the Royal Society and Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University and Dr. John Lennox (MA, MA, Ph.D., D.Phil., D.Sc.), Reader in Mathematics and Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science, Green College, University of Oxford.

Dawkins, voted by Europe's Prospect Magazine as one of the world's most important intellectuals, is regarded by many as the spokesman for the "New Atheism." BBC has labeled him "Darwin's Rottweiler." He has written numerous best-sellers, most notable among them, his recent book, The God Delusion. TGD has been on The New York Times List of Best-Sellers for over thirty weeks. It is a no-holds-barred assault on religious faith generally, and Christianity specifically. According to Dawkins, one can deduce atheism from scientific study; indeed, he argues that it is the only viable choice.

Whats is so moral about redemption thru human sacrifice and scape goating? Where is the morality of paying for another man's sin with NO REGARD to the party that has been wronged in the first place?

[MrJohndl]

You can't reason with religious people. Their brains have turned to mush.

[S66Alex]

Listening to this man make his points. I have deciphered that god is a sadistic, benevolent manipulator of 'life'; For someone so powerful with such hatred for 'wrongdoing' he does a lot of horrible things himself. What does he care if every human prays to him, or if one disobeys him. He is this god figure., he is all powerful, he can turn cities to salt if he wants to. I have no need to mystify myself with the ludicrous tales and followings of this destructive, almost human by nature, force.

@MrJohndl i honestly believe this to be true figuratively of course

@papagaryel

Photo of Jesus with caption underneath - "Love me.....or burn". That just about sums up how completely retarded your religion is.

[MrJohndl]

@papagaryel

There is no Jesus. The guy died 2000 years ago, assuming he ever lived in the first place. You're wrong, I'm right. Goodbye.

[papagaryel]
