Post a video response or leave a comment.

I have decided not to respond to any comments, since this video and the comments are all about you, not me...

I don't really care if there's a god or not. I seriously doubt even the sort of god that just "is" like a kind of benevolent standing wave filling the entire universe and all dimensions its embedded in.

I honestly think that if a god did inspire scripture, it was because he realized it would only convince the exact people we are better off sand-boxing into some sort of institution. If this is the case, we should be careful not to wake those zombies too quickly.

As Dennett, I do believe we should not dismiss religion just like that. However, stating that it somehow keeps people in line, if I interpret what you wrote correctly, is useless and even a bit arrogant. It does not take into account that the vast majority of people have an innate sense of morality which definitely is not come by through religion. Religion is a reflection of the morality of the time, not the standard. To say that people need religion to behave is to deny them humanity....

[ananiasacts]

But it's both my innate and reasoned sense of morality that leads me to see religion as so clearly dysfunctional. I'm not saying we should do anything to them. I'm saying that religion itself may have inadvertently conferred a selective advantage to those societies containing them by attracting (not imprisoning) those minds morally capable of seeing them as desirable. This could be enriching in some sense for the zeitgeist of the remaining or undecided population; welfare for the lazy minds.

I must've misunderstood your original comment.

We are in agreement.

I'm not an Atheist, because I'm truly convinced that my penis is Godly. And it shoots white angels, periodically... go on, click on the thumbs down. Do it! I live for it!

I became athiest because I have had many severe health problems and a high level of intellegence.Also, on a different note I think your voice is that of a corporial angel.Disability is not that bad as you know.I know have a focused mind and a high pain threshold.

@CO2Junkie Evil can only exist where there is good, Christians can tell what is bad because we know what is good. Atheists do not have they luxury because their words are always subjective and an absolute can never be reached.

[MrRichardKranium]

@CO2Junkie A true atheist can never say something is bad or wrong, to say so this implies they must know what is good or right. That is where they use Christian values to define their beliefs in the lack of values and the bible or God. To put it simple bad can only exist when there is first good i.e. rust can exist on a car, moth-ridden clothes need clothes.

I'm an atheist because on the minute, as good as zero chance, that there are "supreme beings" somewhere, they certainly would prefer us over all the believer in something what they are just guessing at. I am an atheist because for me the idea of something that is not part of nature and at the same time above nature is totally absurd. If I am going to revere anything it is going to be Mother Nature herself. By thinking instead of believing I am using the brain I have been given by our Mom.

My atheism is disbelief in a god-of-church due to the truth of God Everlasting.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

I think my Atheism is more in my nature than my nurture. Given that by the age of 4/5 I had already stopped believing in Santa.

my atheism is wisdom to know the difference between reality and fiction, wisdom know the importance of basing what you believe in off of evidence if not proof

Lovely Voice!

My atheism steems from being raised a christian, and the total lack of answers it provided me in life. Mainly, what happens after we die? We go to heavan. How do you know? There was never an answer that satisfied me.

Atheism helps me concentrate on the here and now, and not wistful dreaming of an event that may never happen.

My atheism included hedging me bets in case there's a God. I find that if I go shopping on Yom Kippur, I get into trouble with the police by picking up someone else's bag. If I walk my dog without a leash on Rosh Hashannah, my dog runs off and a child yelps because he decides his hand was bit. Even thought the child is fine. My atheism inludes best behavior on the High Holy Days. I hate to admit it, just like a true Jew, I fear God's wrath.

[SkyDaddy7]

My Atheism is a work in progress...To continue asking questions and learning what I can about the natural world around me. To continue trying to keep my sanity living in the deep south of the US where believing in Bronze Age Mythology rules. I was born in the south and from early on I noticed people take pride in being ignorant & not asking questions.

Thank you for a wonderful video.

My atheism is potential. The potential to always choose, to always decide what I believe, what I uphold, the values and the ideas that will shape my life and my future. Potential, unlimited.
