Dawkin's works for the Vatican - for it is the institution that has died. By allowing Dawkin's to publicly speak of absolute no point in hope faith or love . One can get so depressed and either say what's the point and commit suicide or worse be catapulted back to idolatry of Benidict. Instead of just having a private relationship wiiiiiith yes Hope , Faith(in oneself ) and Love. Opp's the three items on Jesus proclamation . Sorree.

My monkey is likely afraid that one day he will die and that when he does he will go to heaven and have to spend all eternity with his father.

@legolass10 No mother fucker, you tell me what the hell the god delusion has to do with societies morals and ethics. God belief is more proof of evolution and this fuckers ignorance. He is a worshiper of ancient ignorance.

@mechanicmike69 Tell me, what does he say in this video which has you so riled?

[mechanicmike69]

@legolass10 Blow it out your ignorant ass. I said McGrath is an ignorant ass and the fact you think he is not proves your ignorance. I must have hit a nerve (the truth) because you have nothing in defense but insults back at me. You play 'pretend' to think you are above my criticism of your ignorance. You pathetic pompous moron.

@mechanicmike69 hahaha wow! mike, i have seen far too many comments of yours on this video to be healthy. Your incessant whining isn't just pathetic, it is a waste of space and time for all of us. So please... not just for your sake, but for ours, stop talking.

@legolass10 You must be a delusional fucking moron.

@ivlfounder...Whenever he's trippin on acid he hallucinates and sees things for what they aren't...In this case he sees me as someone who actually gives a sh*t about his mommy and daddy problems.....Ouch.....That one hurt just to type!!

@TestAmenT12341

In mikes case it's likely at root mommy/daddy issues that are driving him to such lengths for attention.

Well that and the drugs.

My monkey steal oxicotten whenever he can.
