@koloblican11763 atheism is not a philosophical idea any more than not believing in fairies is a philosophical idea. And it certainly isnt an ideology, what exactly does the term atheism imply other than a non belief in god that would warrant the term “ideology”? So in short Atheism shares absolutely no common points with religion. People get confused because they are idiots who subscribe to the propaganda of other idiots, its no more complicated than that.
@theartsig I generally agree that Atheism is not a religion, but it shares many common points with religion which is why people get confused. Atheism is a philosophical ideology which people believe and follow, and from the view of a religious context it seems exactly like a “belief” that there is no God. They just fit it into their thoughts by saying “Science is their God, and scientists are their angles.” (to use a Christian viewpoint). Evolution clearly is not, but its one of our “texts.”
lol, Hannibal Lector ftw
@theartsig Your comments doesnt make any sense.
@darkfur35 I’ve noticed you now dropping your little verbal poops in a few of these videos, and I must say… if you can’t keep up with the conversation, best not try to join in at all.
@darkfur35 People who say atheism is a religion, or evolution is a religion, clearly have no understanding of either. It’s not even worth arguing the point. One might as well debate quantum mechanics with a flat-earther, a Christian, or a chimp (and really, what’s the difference?). Their starting place is impossibly low. And I don’t feel like wasting my time discussing the finer points of 8 vs. 9 shiny reindeer with adults for whom remedial education texts are a waste of good bonfire fuel.
dawkins is turning evolution into a religion with atheism as its God.
@Eye2EyeIIIV – What? Are you saying that the world is no more than ~6,000 years old? If you do, then you’re wrong. How can what he said be untrue (about people being ignorant if they believe that)? If you believe The Bible (which is up for interpretation) or your pastor/preacher/whoever when they say the world is less than 10k years old, you are being lied to (even if they believe this). The statement that our earth is THAT young is simply flat out false on the face of it.
hahahahaha that big guy in the yellow shirt cracks me UP!
“I’m a reality evangelist… if it weren’t for reality, I wouldn’t be here today..”
Priceless!
Makes me want to go get some “Reality Loves You” bumper stickers made! rofl
another loony alert. Can’t they check people at the door, ask them a simple question and then when they reply with some mad stuff, refuse entry. Such a lot of valuable time at events like this is wasted listening to the questions of nutters.
@patricknelson
It’s true he said that, but what he said was not true
“I’m an atheist with respect to the Judeo-Christian God, because there is not a shred of EVIDENCE in favor of the Judeo-Christian God.”
~ Richard Dawkins
…Dawkins, that’s because you have not visited my channel.
Science and reasoning are key, no doubt. Both of which underpin ‘the attempted murder of God’ – A critical book at a critical time, it reveals the secrets of science that comprehensively demolish the theory of Evolution and provides scientific proof for God – a scientific certainty kept hidden from the world that in this critical time in history can now be revealed.

I will go to that film and buy tickets for everyone I know!
moviesfortina “House” is a good TV show but I would see that it compares to the medical field as much as CSI compares to real crime scene investigators -not even close.
these people asking these questions really like to hear themselves talk, they should have a moderator just to cut them off.
It is divine intervention?
This is probably just my ignorance talking but why is it that youtube has ushered in a new media age where we no longer know how to sync up pictures and sound?
It’s great to see Dawkins & Krauss mention “Ascent of Man”; i checked it out at my library (thanks to some kind soul uploading clips from it on youtube letting me know about it =-) and watch it about three years ago…what can i say; Mr. Brono change my views of life and introduce me to fact of our past, evolution ~~
the mini series “House” is a good example of a scientific show with a protagonist who’s an atheist
“If I tell somebody who believes the world is 6,000 years old that he is ignorant, I am paying him the compliment of assuming that he is not stupid, insane or wicked.”

Richard Dawkins should watch this!
