Socrates death sentence was self imposed he had a choice to be exiled or death he chose death he was not sentenced to death expect by his own words

@philosophicalreason

No, he was sentenced to death but had the option of escaping, which he refused.

@ray7685

congratulations on utterly missing the point

@ray7685

he doesn't offer anything, he says go get it yourself, of course some people are terrified of being responsible for their own thoughts and actions and would rather hide them behind religion or faith or whatever other crock of bollocks someone tries to ram down our throats. If you think us empty for not clutching a pack of lies to give ourselves meaning then that's your issue, we'll just be over here getting on with our lives as usual. Or to put it another way, "fuck off".

@ray7685 It's amusing to watch an entirely irrational person play with reason.

@ray7685 Atheism is not the death of a nation. Absolute authority is the death of the people. That is what Christianity brings to the table: slavery and the abdication of liberty and individual responsibility to our neighbors.

Hitch is right: Religion is a poisoned chalice. His respect for human integrity is forever preserved in these videos and the books he wrote. I resurrect him on a daily basis.

1:53 Great moment for Hitch. This is the pathetic message of Christianity.

"that even though we were DEAD because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is ONLY by God's grace that you have been saved!" Ephesians 2-5

What an awful moment for Christians when they hear young people cheering in favor of liberation from this sort of stupidity.

@ray7685 Trust us, after that enema, you'll be empty too.

@ray

Atheism: "There's not enough evidence to support your position, therefore, I don't accept your fervently-held claim that it's a reasonable position to hold"

Theism: "Pleeease belieeeve meee! Stop taking atheism pills! Pleease! There is a God! Be reasonable, trust mee! - I used to sell used cars! Hitchens, Dawkins, they're all lying to you!"

For the entirety of religion's history, evidence, reason have held no value to its proponents; atheism is where you stand when you value those things

@ray7685

it's one thing to be thick and annoying, but you've crossed the line into being freaking boring, no spark of anything remotely approaching imagination, just a dulled mind in a dull person and I feel grey even reading your soupy porridged opinions. Please cease and desist. By which I mean, sod off.

[FishHeadSalad]

@ray7685 It is you that run to the bible when convenient, not I. And once again...zero subs...zero videos. You are just an angry troll and I have no time for you. : ) Read your book. I have... 3 times now! Just as I have read many a book of fiction. Shakespeare's and Plato's works included. Bye troll, you will not hear from me again. But...have fun with your ignorant frolicking! : ) Remember, ignorance is bliss, so keep a smile on your face! : ) Bye bye.

@Ainulindale21 Some? Ok, so what's your argument for those of us that aren't part of the "some?" The atheists I have spoken to lump them all together as do the 4-minus-1 Horsemen.
