Al-

Have you ever looked up bicameralism? It's a really interesting theory that discusses the origin of human consciousness, and how religion formed in the first place. Just seems relevant and down your alley; it states that the authors of the old testament, and other ancient texts were not even yet self aware! Anyways, great vid.

I agree with Richard Dawkins, who said something like "the bicameral mind is a very interesting idea even though it's most likely bogus." :)

[chaytongilmore]

ok then where do we go when we die. if nowhere. . . well that sucks! so you better be hoping there is a god

[Albert10110]

chaytongilmore: You know, if Santa Claus doesn't exist, that means that poor kids won't get toys no matter how good they are.

Does this mean you should be hoping that there is a Santa Claus?

This is known as the fallacy of appealing to consequences. Just because you want it to be so doesn't make it true or false.

(psalms 14:1) ''The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.''

[Albert10110]

Don't you think the source is a bit suspect? This is the book that also claims to be the holy word of god, so perhaps when it says it is foolish to not believe in god's existence there might be a slight bias?

Do you have any arguments to back your beliefs up? Do you even care whether or not your beliefs are true, or have evidence to support them?

I could spout a George Carlin quote about theists that is a bit more harsh than "fool", but that alone doesn't make an argument.

You know there are lizards who regrow limbs, presumably even without the benefit of prayer and likely without having any belief in any gods or higher powers. Yet even people who have a very deep faith do not regrow lost limbs. It kind of makes one wonder why a god would heal a salamander's lost leg, but not grant the faithful prayer to regrow the legs of his own children, made in his own image and stuff.

Why bother building churches and preaching and spreading the bible. There are millions of them already (not to mention a whole lot of different gods). We get it, you believe in a god.

Here's in interesting diddy:

When I play Civilization on my XBOX 360 (not the greatest version) I noticed that in order to make my people happy and functional - I have to build churches/temples.

Just a thought.

People need to know that this isn't the end - that their life in the next stage will suck less than it does in this one.

Thankfully - I don't subscribe to the "Try again next time" game of life.

There is only this one and it's up to us to make it the best one.

Let me correct you one more time. Atheists have NO belief. We're defined by the absence of belief in any religion. If you ever use a sentence like "Atheists believe..." you are incorrectly representing atheists. On the question of gods, we're waiting for the proper evidence to attain belief. The onus is on those who make the claim. It's not up to Atheists to disprove a claim for which there is no evidence.

[libetta]

why do you make a lot of videos of your hobby as an atheist?

[gsco82]

You have to believe.... Your view of God and religion is a bit biased. Belief in God is a highly personal phenomenon. To debunk some fables attributed to religion doesn't really mean much to an theist. You cannot discredit Christianity and Islam because of insane acts or beliefs of extremists in those religions. Not all theists think that miracles or the ability to communicate directly with God are the foundation of their faith. Enjoy your atheism.

@ranchopatriot LOL the "everything from nothing" argument has been refuted sooo many times it's hilarious that people are still bringing this up. Please do a little more research on what scientists ACTUALLY believe regarding the origins of the universe. The thing is, scientists are not sure how everything got here. It's just that unlike religious people, they're not willing to make any conclusions without finding evidence.

Genius friend! This is a very clever thing you've done in this video.

@shrikechan wrong again a virgin birth is possibel within dogs (seen it myself ) It is as said a Virgin that gives birth. The mutated chromosome actually means you need no male sperm for a reproduction ;) The only thing is and that has been pointed out jesus would have been female

[shrikechan]

@JamsterGoliath Living in the first place will eventually bring DEATH. Time will gradually bring DEATH to the human race reguardless of what anyone does or doesn`t do about it. Every species goes extinct eventually. And GOD and SATAN don`t fucking exist. But I understand that all of that is nowhere near as exciting or action-packed or mysterious as the bullshit you prefer to believe.

[shrikechan]

@FratisNox In other words virgin birth isn`t possible becauase the word "virgin" refers to female humans who have not had vaginal sex and not to micro organisms which are all the same gender. You should also know that most of the life on earth reproduces asexually, and since "asexual" means "without sex" an asexual organism can`t be a virgin, or else you are implying that they could have sex if they wanted to when in fact it is impossible. Humans are in the other group. Enough said

great video! haha that reminds me of a time i pissed off a guy comparing his reigilon with "Gods" of the past :)
