The Virus of Faith (1/5) - Richard Dawkins

First part (of five) of the 2006 documentary The Virus of Faith. Biologist and professor Richard Dawkins opines that the moral framework of religions is warped, and argues against the religious indoctrination of children. The title of this documentary comes from The Selfish Gene, in which Dawkins discussed the concept of memes.

Dawkins also argues that the process of non-thinking called faith is not a way of understanding the world, but instead stands in fundamental opposition to modern science and the scientific method, and is divisive and dangerous.

If we did not have religion or a God, what would we have? According to Humanism, each other. We would solve mans problems by working with all people for the betterment of all of Humanity.We don,t need a Rabbi, Priest, Minister or any other Holy man who has all the answers.Religion is very slowly losing its grip and yielding to people who think for themselves.

@Ragnarockalypse You are confused, There is only One Maker of all matter.

@JungleJargon The Flying Spaghetti Monster is made of the matter that the Maker of all matter made who was made by The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

This is the same nonesense hitler spewed about the Jews. He labeled said they were viruses and therefore non human. Mr. Dawkins is the high priest of a religion of hate, racism and intolerance.

@Ragnarockalypse The FSM is made of the matter that the Maker of all matter made.

@BlueAvantiGuy the vatican never took an official position on the shroud (contrary to what you said earlier). The vatican now says (according to the vatican newspaper) that science cannot explain the shroud (so they must believe it is not fake). If you look at my comment, I never said the ENEA scientists produced an image. Or that they said it was Jesus Christ. I said they doubt it is a fake. Look at the bright side, at least you are up to date on shroud info - and out of the 13th century

@dan69052 Well for one thing...the Dark Age of Scientific Repression in Europe wouldn't have happened, so humanity would be a 1000 years more advanced.
