About Jerry Falwell:

"...had he been given an enema, he could have been buried in a matchbox."

Thank Goodness,for people like 'Christopher Hitchens', Sam Harris,and Richard Dawkins,having the patience to debate the 'Religious Morons' is way beyound the 'normal' behavior of most people,debating 'Idiots' can be very stressful,I know ,I watched my Sister teach 'Autistic Children' and it not easy. I always tell religious people,to grow -up and smell the coffee. Ps. why is it,that reality seems to be to much for these people ?

"I'm not even that religious, but you make me want to evangelize more fervently." - Go ahead. Knock yourself out. Make yourself look more silly than you already are...

Thanks for posting this -- it's good to see Barker's introduction.

A more complete video of Hitchens' FFRF talk (but one which omits Barker's introduction which is included here) is at

i get that all the time. i try to explain my point to christians, and they say something along the lines of:"if only you had more faith". well of course if i had more faith but that's like saying that if i only had a lots of money i'd be rich.

I think you'd benefit a lot from checking out some of DonExodus2's videos here on YouTube. They should go a long way to answering most of the very important questions you just asked. Having asked them, I hope you're capable of grasping the answers.

Truth, Beauty, Reason.

Study, Practice, Teach.

you are nothing close to a truth sir

you are someone claiming to know the truth without evidence and saying "there is a reason it's called faith" as if faith is something to marvel at, it's not.

having faith in something is a flaw not a trait

PappyRoo, get an education sir, idiots like yourself dont put men on moon, scientific method does, you're just a random indoctrinated loser on youtube.

[HyenaWanderer]

PappyRoo you are beyond help at this point, the virus has gotten hold of you. Some ppl are just nor worth 'debating' with because no matter how much is presented you will still have 'blind' faith. I can only hope that when you hit puberty, your viewpoints will change. You sir are a victim I mean that sincerely.

[PappyRoo]

You're gaining so many brownie points from the atheist choir, but you should hear how idiotic you sound. I'm not even that religious, but you make me want to evangelize more fervently. So thank you for the motivation:)
