The man in the last part of the video destroyed his own argument. If religion was destroyed and we still destroyed eachother...than what is the point of religion?! It doesn't negate or correct human nature AT ALL, and only perpetuates the dark side of our nature.
-
Faith, and by consequence, religion and religious observation and inspiration can be collectively described as "the other", that is to say - all that we cannot see or necessarily experience in the physical world. If there was no "other", then what on earth would Dawkins have to concern himself with? In other words....without the ultimate questions, what would Dawkins, Hitchens and Grayling devote their life's work to? Would their world be better off without that which they so vehemently oppose?
-
Love Hitch at 4:30 saying "go on". Brilliant.
-
"Can we have transcendence without thousands of corpses?"
Ever heard of Shrooms, religious dudes?

roger scruton talks absolute shite. where the hell does he come up with this fucking waffle?
-
1:20. There's a genetic predisposition to find logical answers. If there isn't one that can be made at that time we go for stupid ones. Paraphrasing House :D
-
Professor Scrotum made the most tortuous and casuistic argument I have ever heard at the end of this clip. What a ball bag!
-
Good god, Professor Scruton looks like an 80 year old Kenneth Brannagh.

0:07... WTF?? Did this lady voice the "I'm da bear" from Teletubbies?? :D
-
8:30 what does this have to do with the burning bush or "I am I am"? How does that tautology "make sense" of consciousness or ego or whatever, any more than the Socrates Cliché?

@SGRollingStone The thing that annoys me is that if you have a political system that has hateful tenets and implications and lots of it's followers are committing or calling for atrocities then we would demonise that system (just think about how the media uses the word Socialist, Communist and Fascist) but as soon as that system is religious suddenly all the hateful tenets are misrepresentations and those followers are all radicals or fundamentalists. It's really annoying!
