@blahblahhuh1 That is exactly what I thought when I saw the intro again on this vid.
Yeah, Pascal’s Wager = fail.
@MPaulHolmes Yes mate well move to central africa and watch all the millions of “sons” starve to death and die of disease. Would you then detect the hand of a god?
And thanks for the concern about my deprivation from your PARTICULAR god. I’m sure the hindu’s will be equally concerned for you in relation to there Gods as a father looks at his son and see’s the hand of Krishna
I think you will find your unmistakable hand of god is called love, which an atheist can suprisingly also experience
@pwismyname But not people that KNOW that it isn’t true. LIke Jesus’ disciples. They would know that he didn’t rise from the dead. They were scared and ran away when he died, and when they saw him alive again, they were unstoppable, having to be killed!
@lmhjs1000 I can’t prove there’s a God, but when I look at my child, and I see my amazing life unfold, I see the unmistakable hand of God on it. I”m so sorry your life has been so lacking in that respect. Fairies definitely haven’t played any discernable role for me either though.
Now the real fun begins! LOL Go owl!!!
Love it how what Dinesh says at the start of this is perfectly contradictory to what he said at the start of these videos.
as richard dawkins puts it dinesh, ” what if theres fairys and dust that makes you fly”
your not going to lose anything by believing it, But there nooooooooooo fucking evidence for it dinesh!!! agnosticism! I CANT PROVE TO ANYONE THAT THERES NO FAIRYS, BUT I’M GOING TO ASSUME THERE ISNT BECAUSE THERE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EVIDENCE
Is Dinesh trying pascal’s wager there?
i thought that was quite funny
“I’d feel a lot safer debating you as an atheist.” Wow. What an ass.
@pwismyname
Was D’souza’s point not that the apostles had more evidence than we do in that as the companions of Jesus, if anyone, they would have known that Jesus was not God?
That’s because the apostles were slighly more delusional than today’s Christian. Today’s Christian is a combination of being deluded and misinformed. Actually, I have more respect for the apostles because they didn’t have as much evidence at the time that contradicted their god; not their fault for buying into it. Modern Christian’s are more ignorant in the sense that they refuse to make the best use of modern knowledge or our slighly more evolved reasoning abilities.
By the same argument, all religions are true since there are people from all relgions willing to die for thier god(s). We know that they can’t all be true, however. It makes more sense to say that they must all be equally false since they all have the same amount of CREDIBLE evidence for their god(s): NONE.
Sorry Hitch, but I do a much better Bertrand Russel impression than that and I’m a yank.
The flu virus evolves. It is the reason you become ill. Please try to come back to that.
I can;t believe they clapped at the “if they’re willing to die for it, it must be true”
I wish I had a thousand hands and a thousand foreheads just so I could respond to dinesh d’souza properly, that was hands down the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard anybody with a full set of teeth say
What’s the point of this intro and Chris is not an atheist, he is an anti-theist.
that fucking owl…
“with other Christians” ….more delusional sheep….why don’t you debate with rational people and then will see what happens.
Judging by your perceptions, I wonder if you’ve had any church experience outside of a small minority fundamentalist type. I grew up in a conservative church, but we thrived on debate about stuff we couldn’t understand. Working on my theology degree right now, the professor always throws questions at us that are intended to make us rethink our presuppositions. Ironically, I just got out of a chapel where the speaker encouraged us to debate with other Christians about our doubts and questions.
uh….that’s probably because it IS.
Even if they have doubt, they’re too afraid, TERRIFIED, HORRIFIED to voice their doubt, it would be instant social-suicide.
That is simply not true. I cannot think of a single xian I know who does not doubt his faith from time to time and wrestle with the idea that he might be wrong. I’m a xian and I have considered the possibility I am wrong thousands of times. No xian believes God will throw us into Hell for having doubts or thinking through what they believe. As theologian Paul Tillich said, “Doubt is not the opposite of faith, it is an element of faith.”
Evolution is clearly not faith based. You only say it is, because of your lack of knowledge on it. That’s why you people are against evolution in the first place, you can’t understand it. And it is a FACT now. Even the Vatican accepts it. The fact that you obviously don’t, as your fiery comment shows, makes you ignorant and uneducated. Sheep. Why can’t you people ever give a reply without insults? Intolerant much?
