Re: Putting faith in its place
Are you saying you work for the Latter-day Saints? That's a bizarre comeback.

Re: Putting faith in its place
You've defined idealism for me. Thanks.
If you really believe religion is going away just because you're not a fan of it, I can't help but think there's some heavy denial going on.
Are you guys confused? Do you think I'm arguing for religion? I'm saying that I'm tired of atheists who think that religion can be overcome by logic and reason. Boy, wouldn't it be nice? It's fun to pretend!
If you accept that it's a part of the human condition you'll find yourself a lot less surprised by people's actions.

Re: Putting faith in its place
So I wrote "You can't accept that other people need religion". Then you said "At no point did I suggest we, as humans, NEED religion and in fact inferred EXACTLY the opposite."
And then you accused me of poor reading comprehension.
I was hoping to have a real debate. Oh well.

My mom usually charges extra to blurt out quotes by famous intellectuals during sex. Then she donates the proceeds to the LDS for a tax write-off.

Re: Putting faith in its place
Let me get this straight- you live a better life without religion, therefore so would everyone else.
I am defeated. My hat is off to you.

Re: Putting faith in its place
This is what I'm talking about, thanks for illustrating it for me. I have empirical evidence that religion is part of our nature (the vast majority of the population over 2.5 million years) and you have hypothetical rhetoric (religion is useless because it's not logical).
Bravo. This is why non-theists don't like to be grouped together with atheists. You can't accept that other people need religion.

Re: Putting faith in its place
Is there irony in the fact that you regurgitated this quote? Which I assume you read somewhere?

Re: Putting faith in its place
Yeah, let me summarize, because I agree with you.
Many people don't accept that God has to work within the boundaries of logic. They believe that he transcends any sort of puny human perception; mystery solved.
What annoys me is that athiests (like the one in this video) cannot accept, even with their "superior logic skills", that religion is as much a part of human nature as sex or emotion. Trying to end religious belief is like trying to stop dogs from barking.

Oh, so now we're pretending that seriousness is a real thing? Keep on drinking that kool-aid, comrade.

Re: Typography
I don't think this is much of an issue anymore, unless you're a high school teacher. I think this guy is a high school teacher. The valley girl thing was a fad.

And only half of them are paying attention.

Re: Common Sense Is Worthless In Science
Common sense tells me that this video could not be more boring but then I remembered my high school chemistry class and realized that science could prove otherwise.
