(con't)Also, I noticed you made a common mistake between theists asserting that we need evidence for a non-belief. The burden of proof is on the person making the positive claim "there is a god." You must prove a god exists. We are rejecting your claim of a god because there is insufficient evidence to warrent a belief in one.
-
(con't)You might say "God exists beyond human logic and understanding." If you're proposing that something exists beyond human logic and understanding, you are saying that that something doesn't exist in reality. If it exists than you have no way of understanding it, therefore no basis or criteria for your claim. (con't)

@FightingFitKravMaga I doubt you can produce a shred of evidence without saying something like "look at the trees and the sky (and make an unfounded assumtion) and there's your evidence", or "evolution is wrong (if you ignore all the evidence), so my ill-defined unsupported that it was created must be correct." That's a logical fallacy, and you'd making another unfounded assumtion based on your presuppositions. (con't)

If the truth hurts, how about this - you are a fat bastard and look like DMC off of Run DMC.

There was nothing cruel about what he said. He stated the fact that the human mind is susceptible to hallucination and that the hallucinations often draw on our cultural psyche - so that Hindus think they are in the presence of Shiva, Muslims the presence of Allah etc. If you feel the suggestion that these people have hallucinated is cruel, come up with some quantifiable proof.

The main problem with that situation was that Dawkins was absolutely sincere. As opposite to pussyfooting around the issue. That is all. People are just used to others giving margin for this specific type of hallucination.

@Dedokai32 It does not hid the fact that religion does not do any good for us, we need to lose it to progress even quicker.

Right on, nothing "cruel" at all about what he said. The only people who would find it cruel are believers whose faith was shaken by that little dose of reality. Nobody likes a bubble burster, lol...
