@jadagod Hardly. Self defense is different than feeling justified in killing for one's beliefs. And we're not even talking about morals anymore. Good day to you.

@Jbear9 he justified it well don't you think?

Everything we can imagine comes from the mind of man. Whatever the mind can conceive man can achieve. God has many names and every name got a game. The world knows by now the games Christianity plays and only a fools take it serious.

"I have never written or spoken in support of the war in Iraq. The truth is, I have never known what to think about this war, apart from the obvious: 1) prospectively, it seemed like a very dangerous distraction from the ongoing war in Afghanistan; 2) retrospectively, it has been a disaster." Sam Harris Newsletter May 1st, 2011

@jadagod The next lines read: "This may seem an extraordinary claim, but it merely enunciates an ordinary fact about the world in which we live. Certain beliefs place their adherents beyond the reach of every peaceful means of persuasion, while inspiring them to commit acts of extraordinary violence against others. There is, in fact, no talking to some people. If they cannot be captured, and they often cannot, otherwise tolerant people may be justified in killing them in self-defense.

The moral atheist also has the high ground by behaving good because it is the right thing to do, not because of the reward/punishment system invented by theists (heaven/hell).
UKA, you asked for suggested topics... UK C hristians have claimed in theTelegraph and elsewhere that they're treated as badly as or worse than American non-theists are treated by Christians. is there any truth to this claim?

@MESkeptic I can honestly say that is completely false.

@bassmanco I felt its been done enough and most free thinkers would already know. I was also thinking it could be covered in more detail in another video if need be. Thank you though, I appreciate you watching :)
