  • I'm atheist but I stopped this video in the first few examples. Where are your sources?

  • @ayoriceball

    that's where the FUTURE comes into play. i believe with an atheistic future comes the want for advancement and if science says something is obsolete, it's obsolete. i believe the majority of people of the future atheist world will not object to what is being done for a better future, seeing as they are more knowledgeable and understanding

  • @Dps081393 I don't think you understand. If people want to have intercourse, they'll do it. The only thing that could stop them is the law- and, of course, that can only be changed by the people. So science can do all the research and stuff, but it can't do "whatever it wants to" because The People have to support it in some way.

  • @ayoriceball

    science doesn't respect cultural values. you can be a great scientist and be an anti-Semite. it sounds like you're one of those people that think being scientific and atheistic go hand in hand. and i was wrong about organ farms. apparently it's conducted through your own cell collection

  • @Dps081393 I can only partially agree with you. Science respects cultural values. If people don't want babies to be farmed, then it doesn't happen. Besides, intercourse is enjoyable, so I think people would rather find cures for STDs rather than completely avoid it. :P

    Also, I don't *think* babies (or any humans) need to be farmed to grow organs. But I don't know much about that subject.

  • @ayoriceball

    Science has no concern for what is safe or "good". science is concerned with finding answers and becoming better, more efficient. do you disagree? those predictions seem like the most efficient an atheist world can become right now

  • @lewisner that was a parable, and I said if every body was not only christian but also christ like. So they would all accept him as king, but remember its only a parable

  • @Murri16 Well at one point jesus said "bring to me all those who do not believe and slay them". I wouldn't want to live in a world full of people like that. Also he was celibate so in one generation the human race would be extinct.

  • @lewisner soo your saying the world wouldnt be better place if every body was not only christians but also christ like?

  • @Murri16 Since theism is by definition a delusion (holding a belief without evidence or in the face of contradictory evidence) the whole world would be deluded, thus it would NOT be a better place.
