The Four Horsemen: Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens (1/12)

On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for a first-of-its-kind, unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by RDFRS and filmed by Josh Timonen.

All four authors have recently received a large amount of media attention for their writings against religion - some positive, and some negative. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public's reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face to world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.

Mr "JesusChristOurLordAndSaviour" is surely letting his brothers and sisters down if all he can do in defence of his religion against these 4 brilliant (& not angry at all) people is to call them motherfuckers. But then these type of people rarely practice what they preach; just like their maniacal, murdering pyschopathic (but also loving) god who commanded the jews to hack to death with sword, innocent women & children of other nations, probably while being high on the burnt blood of animals.

The only reason religion has maintained the untouchable status it has is because it deals with the most basic of human psychology and manipulates its existence on feeding off of innermost personal fears like death and sexuality. Religion is a system that maintains control by insecurity and vulnerability. Its power evolves from the deepest emotions and conscience therefore challenging it will feel very personal to those who take it to heart. People deserve to know this insidious truth in depth.

Stupidity deserves wrath & every spiritualist frothing at the mouth should be made an example of. When self-deceit can no longer go unrecognized by others, no one will wish to show himself as a fool. Vehicles for self deceit will either be employed within one's private chamber or publicly presented as amusements -- nothing more.

Mahabharata is, in some ways, comparable to the bible. However, Mahabharata is much more entertaining, more insightful and much older.
