An intellectual mismatch for the ages.

Let him talk Morgan, you dipshit.

HAHA LOL I MEAN ITS SO MENTAL

Its a shame this didn't go on and get to the point where pen says ultimately you believe in god based on the bible and there is no evidence that the bible is the word of god so why do you believe it ?


pears is saying "you don't know x and so you cannot make the claim that you do not know x and thus my claim about x that's based on no evidence must be correct"

Not just for his idiot views on religion, but because of his astounding lack of logic with most subjects. Piers is a moron...a horrible interviewer, and should not be on t.v. He is a very lucky man.

you can't tell a group of people they are wrong without providing explanations... that cuts both ways doesn't it?

i mean, i don't believe in god or an afterlife, but plenty of religious people tell me I'm wrong and give me no explanations...

and beliefs don't qualify as explanations ... there needs to be some level of verification beyond "because i believe it to be true" or "this book says so"

that the difference between atheism and religious belief... an atheist is humble enough to admit he doesn't know, a religious person substitutes belief into the "know" part of the equation and figures problem solved

and then sometimes even takes pity on you for not "knowing" like they do

now THAT is offensive

"God did it" isn't an explanation either, its a diversion. I wish more people could cope with not having an explanation for everything, accept their own ignorance and not be scared by the unknowns.

I'd have asked Piers why he is Catholic. He appears to believe in a spiritual being that created all things, but why subscribe to a mainstream religion? Oh right, argumentum ad populum.
