Hey Al, would you ban gambling if you could?

[Albert10110]

The simple answer: No.

The more complex answer would go into what restrictions I'd put in (age, etc.), and the level of enforcement I would have (I don't think we should police at the level of buddies playing a game of cards).

I just consider the idea of gambling as a silly way to entertain yourself and an unethical way to make a living. But legislation is a much more trickier and nuanced question to answer.

for people like you or richard dawkins atheism is fine,and you are comforatble with it, i think the world would be fine if you,al,actually ran it, cause you are smart,and logical....but many people have a religious experience,which can change them,and improve lives,or give them a reason to life/which science does not address.

[Albert10110]

kidjade7: Many people accuse atheists of arrogance, but I think the view you just presented is incredibly arrogant: that people, many people, are just too dumb and need to be told lies and stories because they otherwise can't understand reasons to help others and create purpose for themselves.

The only category of people we tell lies to for their own benefit are children, and even then we stop telling them stories when they become adults.

Very well planned and thought out video, not only as an argument for atheism, but critical thinking as well. :)

Thank you.

it always boggles my mind how much time and energy people waste on: creating, defending, and wondering about the various myths.

Just imagine how much more productive we would be as a society if everyone were past this point already. I'm sure that delusion will always exist and be acceptable somewhere, but what if that wasnt the MAIN FOCUS for so many....

Dead-to-the-spirit deluded "God Delusion" author & blithering fool scientist goon Richard Dawkins another "leader" given 2 the profane masses is another useful idiot 4 Jesuit machinations

Jesuitical; pertaining to the Jesuits or their principals; designing; cunning; deceitful; prevaricating

The Jesuit Order completely altered the education system 2 suit their Evo-Hoax Agenda to discredit the Bible

Papal Rome cant have their Counter Reformation 2nd Dark Age DESPOTISM until Bible is destroyed

1. Richard Dawkins doesn't exist. 2. His books are just a random stream of letters. 3. No one can prove Dawkins exists. 4. The job is up to you to prove Dawkins does exist.

the lack of moral standards can be found in prisons. when over 70% of the populace of jails are made up of christians, i rest my case.

[badboy0nline]

I also have to say that gambling creates Jobs, its entertainment and even though winnings are not taxable the profits ARE. These taxes goes to the country and benefits the who society.

[badboy0nline]

Communist and religious control freaks have always tried to control what we eat, drink and what we in our personal lives. Mankind has always gambled. Gambling is legal and tax free in England and there is less social problems because of it than in the US.

@JackFenderOne thanks man

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

It takes guts to admit that there is no god - it's takes responsiblity to own up to your mistakes.

Jesus forgives ALL sins and makes people feel good about doing bad.

Cheat on your test - don't worry pray and Jesus will forgive and toss your bad deed into the sea of forgetfulness 70 X 7 times.

Kill someone? Steal? Rape? Ask Jesus and he'll say "Don't worry john - that girl was dressed provocatively, it was her fault"

Thanks Jesus - that's why I fux with you *thumbs up*

Liked the vid - thanx
