I love how this douche is saying that the xian god created humans as free. And that's a right. Yet, I'm sure he believes, as many other xians believe, everyone should bow before that god and serve him, or suffer eternal hellfire. Gotta love that two-faced nature.

Lets just use maximum sentencing to turn human beings into examples...that will stop crime for sure.


Did you just touch yourself at night? Burn in hellfire for eternity!!1!

Religion in its purest form is vicious, manipulative and indeed detrimental to the minds of the people. It is a disease that we must rid ourselves off as quickly as possible to grow as a race.

You don't take the middle road with herpes, hepatitis or even a cold, why should religion be different? What makes religion so special that we have to tolerate it or even accept it? Religion is not just an idea, it's a way of life, a way of influencing morality, actions, interaction with other people. If a cult specialized in mocking black people, we would not fund it with tax dollars, we would tell them that they were wrong and attempt to change their minds. KKK and religions are not different, they just hate in different ways. Christianity hides behind the guise of "love", but still condemns you to eternal hellfire, so that the believers can walk around feeling smugly secure in their afterlife. They still despise you.

Too many people say "oh it will go away by itself", but that's not true - it's been around for a long damn time and it's time to say stop.

There are too few Atheists here and too few in the world! It's time you middle-of-the-road types woke up and chose a side, because the war is on whether you like it or not.

CDM: When religious people are good, they are good in spite of their religion, not because of it.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that George Carlin was the greatest comedian of our time. How can anyone be so relevant, so poignant, and yet so funny for 40 god-damned years? I miss him, and can only imagine the incredible material he's come up with after these last few years of writhing in hellfire. As always, it would be HILARIOUS.

The best offense, is a good fencepost.
If Dawkins got paid for this appearance, one might see the similarities of his salary for the show having been payed by the students or school at Berkeley, and that of the the tithes that members of a church pay for physical plant and the pastor's salary.
Atheists are so preachy nowadays.
Most people don't discuss with others their voting record or personal income, why bother to bring any God into the argument against throw-back practices like stoning, preaching eternal hellfire,etc. Simply take their children from them those that would pollute their minds with blasphemy against common sense and humanity....and free them from their idiot parents.
Licensing for couples who want to reproduce is essential in the choggie paradigm.

Hellfires are helicopter missles!

Loved the Monk in Hellfire almost as much as killing everything that moved or intended to move - including my mates - in a chain lightning frenzy.

This one ... not my thing so far.

*holds up his personal copy of Hellfire* Two words: "Fuck" and "Yeah"!

Why are these guys running for cover? Are the mortars so poorly made that standing by the launch site is reasonably likely to be a dying proposition? If folks are rolling their own mortar shells, that shit is pretty hard core.


Maybe they are afraid of a hellfire missile landing in their launch site.

dawkins is wrong. bringing up a child with a religious background is absolutely nothing like child abuse.
typical dawkins "intellect" on parade again. dawkins is an extremist himself.


Read The God Delusion. John Cornwell is a lying sack of shit, his entire argument in this video is based on complete misrepresentations of what Dawkins has actually said. Most of the "summaries" of Dawkins is entirely taken out of Cornwells own head ie: "He parallels religion with a cultural virus* that's so evil** that he says its even worse then pedophile abuse***"

What a lying sack of shit. Dawkins has never said that. Anywhere. Ever.

*Yes, he calls religion a virus, but unless you're an ignorant lying piece of shit like Cornwell, you should know that the word "virus" in this context is not used in the negative, insulting way. He refers to memes, cultural ideas, including scientific ideas, by the way, as a form of virus, in the sense that, like a virus, it replicates through occupation of hosts, and like viruses, the only prerequisite for their existence is their ability to replicate.

**Viruses are not evil, nor are they good, they just are.

***No, he has never said religion is "worse than pedophile abuse", this is simply a fabrication that ranks with the last public statements of Comical Ali.
Dawkins has, with considerable restraint, and careful distinction, said that SOME forms of religious indoctrinations, (such as threats of hellfire) and the overt way of forcing religions upon children by labeling them "catholic child" or whatever, can be called a FORM OF CHILD ABUSE. He has never compared it to pedophilia or any other form of abuse.

"Barack Obama, fired up, and trying to fire up his supporters there"

Fuck you, you dumb bitch! His supporters were fired up, he didn't have to try at all! Sounds like a comment Barbara "GOP" West would make. Wasn't it obvious that his supporters were fired up? What the fuck was she talking about, saying he was "trying" to fire them up??? Die in a fire bitch! You'll plunge not only this nation, but the entire planet in a dark abysmal hellfire if you're not careful of your wording [or your superior's wording].

Hellfire - aptly named in that last shot! Crazy.

Also interesting to see the misfire - wonder how often that happens, given how much those things cost?

Oh for Christ's sake, the last thing Steve Jobs needs is access to and control over Hellfire Missles...

The thing about Dalrymples article is that its full of unfounded criticisms and deliberate misrepresentations of the various books. Take the following quote of a quote.

Richard Dawkins quotes with approval a new set of Ten Commandments for atheists, which he obtained from an atheist website, without considering odd the idea that atheists require commandments at all, let alone precisely ten of them; nor does their metaphysical status seem to worry him. The last of the atheist’s Ten Commandments ends with the following: “Question everything.” Everything? Including the need to question everything, and so on ad infinitum?

Here Dalrymple presents the "commandment" "Question Everything" as if it is something Dawkins forces upon us. The whole point about Dawkins use of those "atheist commandments" was that he took them of a random website just to show that its not really difficult to come up with a counterpart to the Old Testament commandments that's just as good or better.. Its an anecdote to support an argument, not meant as a serious suggestion for replacement of the commandments..

Then theres this:
Yet with the possible exception of Dennett’s, they advance no argument that I, the village atheist, could not have made by the age of 14

Good for you, Dalrymple, and what Madrassah did you attend? What megachurch did your parents drag you along to to have 40 year old virgins scare you shitless about hellfire?

And how does your early teen dissection of these myths speak for the need to step gently around those who claim them as if they were true? If you made all these points at 14, isnt it about time 9/10ths of the worlds population wake the fuck up? No lets cuddle some more with these twats, lets leave them alone as they insulate another generation from common sense. Thatll work. Let them bang on with their apocalyptic bronze-age myths next to the enriched uranium.
