Hitchens:Religion is Infantile (talk to a wall via proxy from $2/day)

vs David J. Wolpe.

Hitchens absolutely mopped the floor with rabbi Wolpe. Hitchens was landing haymaker after haymaker, while Wolpe retreated to many tired old atheism myths and claims about the origin of morality. Wolpe didn't put up much of a fight. In fact, he nearly conceded that God and religion are man-made SEVERAL times, and Hitchens had to encourage him to take back his words on more than one occasion.

Israel Post delivers `letters to God` to Jerusalem's Western Wall
"Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitz said prayers of people all over the world ascend through this holy place. He added that he hopes God grants all of the requests."

If I knew nothing about religion, I'd think this was some kind of comedy sketch or news parody. How is it that a species smart enough to figure out space travel and communications technologies such as the internet also finds it meaningful to make magically-fulfilled requests from a collection of old bricks? It's completely insane. Future generations will look at this and laugh at the sheer absurdity of their ancestors.

well said, sadly her kind of business will thrive in tough times.

Oh man! This totally beats my completely immoral business concept of opening a funeral parlor while hiring a hit man to wack people in the neighborhood! I have been out-done. Back to the drawing board.

@UncleFeedle Sadly the stupid are breeding out of control. The fools will remain and while they're busy talking to the clouds, the world will destroy them naturally.

@ferret630 Lol!, whats the point. No point with that, YOU ARE JUST GOD. Everything is about us, and not nothing else.

Everything is about the creating paradox, us. How you can live without that, and believe in some randomly meaningless oscillating clod at the beginning of the universe, is beyond me. God told you the truth. To ignore it would have to be to live the saddest life ever.

[ferret630]

@ParadoxEternal whats your point?

[ParadoxEternal]

Yes, did God make you in his image? Who are you, who am I? Does anything explain this other than God? Can consciousness be the finite? No. As any computer programmer knows, consciousness is not an algorithm. In other words, God did create you "in his image", but rather specifically, this means consciousness, as known in all the esoteric cores of all religions.

To claim random origin of consciousness, and the universe that is infantile, and childish. Immature, little developed thought.

@kjohnsen045 all it takes is faith to do the most insane things with a smile.

@da0217

your business concept was good too. it will make you a lot of money, but you will be better off deluding people in the name of some deity in the sky. you can always say that you represent god and nobody can prove you wrong. nobody ever has. the religion has always been best bsusiness model. you never lose money in it.

this canadian lawyer is probably making more money now than she could ever have made in law practice.

@UncleFeedle It is the same issue for me. How is it that parents can say, "well children, that santa claus character we told you about isn't actually true. Now that you're twelve years old, it's time you knew"? I so wish children who have been thus mislead and then re-read respond with, "'it's okay mum - I worked that out long ago. Much like that god guy you go on about. Same bullshit - different diety".
