Re: Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes
"Absence of evidence is evidence of absence" is a pretty stupid thing to say.

Re: Why Campaign against Religion?
Of course I was being sarcastic, well, almost. Eradication of religion is pretty much what Dawkins would like to see.
The only people not doing their jobs properly is the governments. I've got no problem with Stem Cell research but I understand why some religious people might. Perhaps a 'tough shit' attitude should be taken by those in power. If religious people don't want Stem Cell research to be done, they shouldn't do it. Psalm 94:1 says "O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself". If God cares so much, he'll sort it out, not his fans.

Re: Why Campaign against Religion?
The only solution is to get rid of religion? A final solution one might say.

Re: Intelligent Design Really is Being Expelled!
I'm a deist, I believe in a 'god', nothing to do with religion, worship or spooks. It's a belief of mine, not even a theory. And even if it was a theory, it would be insulting to try and get people to recognize it as a scientific theory as it can't be proved.
I have absolutely no problem with IDers, they can believe what they like. If they want to believe that Yahweh created the universe and everything in it 6000 years ago, that's fine by me. Just don't bring it into the lab. Intelligent Design is a theory, but just a theory, not a scientific theory, and you can quote the bible all you like saying that science supports the bible in many ways but you have to take into account that the bible is also contradicted by science in many different ways.

Re: The Curse of Faith
This first Condell that's made me laugh in a long time. He's pulled it out of the fire, his last few vids haven't been very good.

Re: Pat Condell: The Religion of Fear
Good points, but you also have to consider that the people who were writing the Talmud, Bible and Koran probably weren't thinking thousands of years into the future.
When most europeans were knocking stones together and dying of the plague, Muslims were busy inventing geometry. It's not islam that stopped them dying or made them smarter, but it was a fundamental view of islam that crept back into their society that made them stupid.

Re: Pat Condell: The Religion of Fear
I think you've missed my point. Yahweh told the nation is Israel to eradicate every body who would not convert in Canaan. Since there are people in Israel and Palestine is not big on Judaism, jews don't tend to take that god given mandate seriously any longer.
Aggressive off shoots of any sort, no matter how fervent their motives are, tend to implode on themselves. I think it's only a matter of time before militant Islam dissipates.

Re: Pat Condell: The Religion of Fear
No I'm not being sarcastic and yes I am equating the belief in the ascension of Mary, - or a galactic overlord, or a lost tribe of Israel in America - with "God sanctioned genocide". By rights practicing Jews everywhere should be slaughter hundreds of animals a year, stoning homosexuals and slaying anyone they don't like. But they've found a way around it, even hasidic jews. Stoning gays in not necessary to believe in god.
My point is that many would be good people, albeit it slightly gullible, are being taken advantage of by evil religious leaders with a horrific agenda which has nothing to do with God.
I'm not religious, people have the right to practice any religion they please, I only wish all religious people could be as moderate as the majority. Before you start, the people in Fitna do not represent the majority, if you believe they do, you're just one step away from being as hateful as them.

Re: Pat Condell: The Religion of Fear
Give it a rest Condell!
You can't tar every member of a religion with the same brush. Yeah, pretty much all religions have a skeleton in it's closet that they'd rather not talk about. Mormon's have the Hebrews in america, Scientologists have Xenu, Catholicism has the ascension of the Virgin Mary, Jehovah's Witnesses have the end of the world penciled in for any day now, and so on. Islam just happens to have God sanctioned genocide. I'd say, as silly as their beliefs might be, most of those people are good people.
Some atheists can be just as bad as some theists, the only difference is that atheists don't have god to hide their dickheadedness behind, and luckily, extremist atheists are a rare occurrence.
