Dinesh claims religion is not forced upon people. BS! Young children are effectively forced into a religion by the positional power held by their parents. It is no coincidence that once distanced from the influence of an organization that demands blind obedience and acceptance of its teachings and introduced to an environment in which critical thinking is paramount, the college student relinquishes his/her religious beliefs in favour of a rational and evidence-based view of the world.

What an absolutely idiot Dinesh D'Souza is...

[redsquall5]

Arguing with believers is a false dance. It is false because it is a ritual without blood. There is no order, save that which death has put there.

[MigHound]

A child, in order to be able to come into their own, as an independent sentient individual, as callus and as savage as it may sound, the parents, must, and inevitably do pass on. As a species, for us to further evolve, in our minds, God Must Die, as that is from where he was originated. We must finally ween ourselves off this crutch of ignorance, and revel in our abilities as mere microbes, in this infinitely vast Multiverse, and indeed in the beauty of just the one Universe we can discern.

relgion the last refuge of the scoundral

Dinesh actually insulted Hitchens. The last resort of a desperate argument.

Is time for people of reason to raise up and finish all this.

Ridiculous­, idiotic religions all of them. This people have done way to much damage in the name of imaginary gods.

Science flies you to the moon

If money is the root of all evil, why does the church need so much money?

God made me an atheist. Who are you to question his wisdom?

I just talked to god and he says he’s a gay pro-abortion Atheist! Now, prove that statement false

[stickjock1066]

What a grasping and weak conclusion by D'Souza...wow, epic fail.

@vincentk99143 I want to love it ---(where-ever you got it) except "religion sounds dandy"? ---you must have copied. At least I am giving you the benefit of this doubt in an otherwise clean octalog (8). Am I right? Yes? No? It's ok, so, the Q: Why do I say this? A: Because who-ever this is from and it well may BE you, it seems (out of place) as all the others are sound/cute, yet would you not agree about sentence I mentioned. Seems awkward. LeMarc

I am deeply, DEEPLY offended as a free-thinker by Dinesh's comment that "we don't believe because we don't want their morality to get in our way." How dare he say such slander. This is no different to him saying "... NUH-UH, YOU'RE JUST CLOSED-MINDED HAHA I WIN!". Ludicrous. My disbelief in the supernatural is rooted firmly in their being no sound reason to believe that any of it is true. I don't feel "better for not believing", I feel better for having reason to accept my views as valid.

@ProToolsAudioSource Many of the particles I was composed of two years ago when I commented on this video have already moved on; certainly the ones that made up my skin and hair. I'm fine with this. The rest of your comment is rather ill-formed: You asked a question and then stated it was a fact. Had you said "No one cares what you have to say about anything", then we could better evaluate the truthfulness of that statement. Ironically you clearly care because you responded.
