HA! I love the Hitchen's vs the bible graphic. That's pure FOX News BS at it's finest. HA!

These reporters have no grasp of the concept. They reject every other god, atheists just god one god further.

[TarchangelT]

He can prove the existence of god? I suppose he was going to go on to the infinite regress of what began the beginning and assume that if there is proof of a beginning then it must have been Jesus and his predecessor Jehovah lol. Great author by the way and great try but still inadequate. Yet another author of the disappearing gap theory.

ok so who and what group ended slavery in America ?? funny how you don't argue that assertion but only resort to what all "anvil headed" atheist do is look for something else to create smoke with... LOL I feel sorry for you guys I really pity you..God Bless

[carlindelco]

well you haven't cited 1 source to discredit the creation of those ideals as D'souza stated but only cite the Bible for a few stories.LOL great rebuttal.??. LOL

[carlindelco]

I love that opening comment atheist ask "where is God when bad things happen? and D'souza asks "where is Atheism when bad things happen???"" Answer either they have caused the "bad thing" or they're home asleep..lol

Love how they ran out of time just as he was telling his big lie about science. His earlier crap crediting Christianity for equality, dignity and human rights is obscene. Just read their bible, full of genocide, slavery, women as property, and casting disbelievers into the fires of hell. When Christianity was in total control, it was the Dark Ages. The science, education, philosophy, engineering of superior civilizations were all buried. Only the Enlightenment freed us from its grip.

That is why many people make the uneducated error that scripture is confusing or contradictory. People take verses out of context. They don't do cultural or historical research on it, or don't take in consideration literary devices that are used by some writers. Many things shakespeare wrote make no sense unless you interpret it in historical context and understand literary devices used by him.

[newlife8547]

What many people overlook is that in Ancient Hebrew Culture, a slave (bond servant) was a person who gave themselves to servitude when a debt could not be paid and the mosaic law established the maximum to 7 years. After this term the person often chose to stay as a servant because of personal poverty and/or lack of housing. They where not compelled to slavery because of their race, or any other prejudice. Slavery in the old testament must be understood in a cultural, historic background.

The bible was written after but unfortunatly you have no idea how it came to be. The teachings of the old testament called the torah at the time it was written. Before it was written it was maintained orally for centuries beforehand. Lastly the new testament wsan't formed tills everal hudnered years after the books of it were written. So in fact the bible came way the fuck before plato you moron!

[Izamen]

Becasue people have free will? Christianity was born out of israel and then spread outwards for many reasons explained in the bible. I normally don't like to use the bible when talking to aetheists but since your asking a question about christianity and not just religion in general i will answer it that way.

[Izamen]

Sponny are you retarded? The 10 commandments is from the old testament also known as the jewish bible so that would come from judaism. Second Dinesh isn't saying that the bible stopped slavery he is saying that christianity (as in the people and the values that have been derived from the new testament which overules the old)Saved us from slavery why? Because it did!

[saggenbendavis]

I'm not terribly fond of this guy and I will only raise one question. If Christianity is the quintessential religion, why have there been so many other points of view, spin, and interpretation.

Just as Dawkins describes, if you were in India, you would be a Hindu; in Iran, a Muslim; in Africa, whatever their tribe believes.
