Bill Maher - "This is what I believe." Yeah, you believe it, and I'm going to say why it's dumb.

Christian scientists have tested various conditions... VAGUE what are these conditions they have tested? How do you say such BS and generalize and easily disregard a fact that many scientists men a million times brighter than u have dedicated their lives to finding... by a simple comment like its just a theory.... are u honestly thinking deep down u have more intelligence than these ppl? You think a scientist would put out a bullshit theory just because he likes too?

Evolution is regarded to as a theory to dumbass layman as urself.. Between scientist evolution is not a THEORY it is a fact... minor details are contested yet all agree upon the validity of evolution! Secondly you are such an idiot for demeaning another religion because all the major religions believe in the same monotheistic god! Please understand that.... its just how they have changed the stories for maximum oppression and power gain!

newborns are automatically saved, christian scientists have tested various conditions on the earth to see if evolution matched up and some christians believe god caused evolution, plus evolution was always theory. and how do christians make you feel guilty? by saying a loving savior died for you? and we leave the ultimate decision up to them. the only religion that is truly harmful is islam.

You're all a little misguided. Directed at Mr. Crazyfool91cl: I think you're correct, but I suggest you change your terminology a bit. The idea of spirituality of some kind tends to promote the moral good (be it law or not), and self-growth and evolution. Religion specifically, however, starts to focus on the moral "law" and what's right and wrong from a factual viewpoint, thereby eliminating contingency and room for freedom. This is where the danger arises & religious pundits/zealots do damage.

Haha. I wish it were that simple
Galileo - a scientist to whom we owe much of what is our modern day world... Burned by the church...
Evolution - known fact for many years... Refuted by Christians who know nothing about science.

Brainwashing - first they make you feel guilty so you would stop holding on to your moral values and then they poor in new moral values.

Religion - says you are a sinner and you must repent for your sins (even if you're a newborn who hasn't had the chance to sin yet).

have u seen a suicide bomber? most religions kills those who doesnt believe in their god coz they think they are superior to non believers they are power hungry crook and abuser. btw this god havent proved that he created us he just said he did he created evil to have an excuse to kill us lol . 2nd so we are pets? cn be killed when he wants to? lol we created god and people use the name of this imagination to get away with their selfish crimes.

have a merry saturnilia :)

I hope all you atheists had a merry christmas!!!!

Religion - Belief in a higher being.

Christianity - Belief that Jesus Christ was the savior of humanity. Following his teachings and principles.

Jesus - A prophet who claimed to be the son of God and taught a message of love, peace, non-violence, and charity.

Now hold up...exactly HOW are we destructive?
