Uh huh, the have's sharing their wealth with the have nots (ie. charity, something strongly encouraged by one Mr. Jesus Christ) is a sure sign of the end times.

Ya know, I don't particularly believe in much of anything but I'm going to laugh my ass off if Christianity is right because I get the very strong feeling that "our Lord and Saviour" is going to be a tad pissy with these morons who use his name to justify their bigotry and fear.

Roll on the rapture imo.

Yes, if by awesome you mean childish and petty.


Why is this childish and petty pray tell? It says 'probably', it gives a positive message, it doesn't promise an afterlife in eternal hell like the others. It doesn't espouse it's views to be THE right views... it just presents a thought and says be happy.

That's it. If religious people get annoyed by this then why can't us atheists get really annoyed at ALL the religious signs and bumper stickers and the like that say the 'lord is our saviour' or the like? Hmmm? Why can religion have those but us not have some light hearted ads like this? They're non combative, non aggressive, non threatening (unless you're super insecure in your faith)... so really, what is your problem?

I was raised Catholic, but found it insufficient, then became atheist, and also found it insuffieicent. Now I am Agnostic so in the case of trying to pick who I will pray to then I hit a wall, because I find my current knowledge about reality not enough for me to even determine the existence of God, not a christian god or a greek god or an egyptian god but the central idea of God withouth the religious filter.

And I think even If I found one of those figures more favorable over the others I would not pray to them anyways. I never liked the idea of asking for stuff or trying to talk to a methaphysical being by using physical means. (makes no sense to me to do that)

Many, not all but a number of those people, Christ, Buddha, Allah, etc are still a part of society for a reason, because they have said powerful or influential ideas regardless of whether or not these people are somehow sacred.

So I just try to focus on what their ideas were, I dont care (at least at this point) about picking a side, I don't think is even a good thing to do.

Many of them mean someting to me, in the sense that I find their perceptions of the world worth looking at, at least to understand why people go as far as attaching faith to them. But I refuse to just concentrate on one of them or just on the main ones, that's why I look at them in a philosophical sense so that I can juxtaspose them with philosophers. Just by doing that you can tell how Buddha said many of the things Jesus said waaay before he even showed up, so the 'wisdom' of jesus is nothing new nor revolutionary. And then compare how Socrates presented his ideas in comparison to those two? He does a much better job in my opinion. But I would have never came to these conclusions if I had chosen to just pray to a single one.

But I cant be a perfectly objective person, there is always some bias and in my case it would be towards Buddha. Mainly because if you think about it, he never declared he was a supreme being and he said:

""Be an island unto yourselves; be a refuge unto yourselves; seek no refuge in others."

So to pray to him or "seek refuge in buddha" makes no sense! I really don'tunderstand why people pray to Buddha. Is like they did not read what he said!

This quote explains it better than me:

"To depend on others for salvation is negative, but to depend on oneself is positive." Dependence on others means a surrender of one's effort."

"Be an island unto yourselves; be a refuge unto yourselves; seek no refuge in others."

These significant words uttered by the Buddha in His last days are very striking and inspiring. They reveal how vital is self-exertion to accomplish one's ends, and how superficial and futile it is to seek redemption through benignant saviours, and crave for illusory happiness in an afterlife through the propitiation of imaginary gods by fruitless prayers and meaningless sacrifices.



So to sum up, faith/prayer is not my thing, at least at the moment. I prefer to just learn as many sides as I can, compare them, and see if there is any pattern among the things they have said.

I could care less if they are "holy beings" or not.

Just proves that if you make shit up, make a video with cool music, show some cleavage and state things as fact (that are obviously not fact), you too can have a fan club and be hailed as hero.
Hitler could not be mistaken as and was not a Christian. His god was nationalism and the hate for the Jews. A hate that had no background in religion but common street rhetoric of the time. Someone had to be blamed for the loss of the first WW.
The much praised enlightenment and the "discovery" of evolution was much more an idea from which Hitler took it's page. Hitler used Evolutionary Theory to Justify the Holocaust. http://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/hit.htm
You can deny the facts but does not make them true!
http://www.icr.org/article/285/
Now that is just one of the 'facts' that are beyond wrong. Research the crusades and some of the wars you mentioned and you will find that while people call them self "religious" doesn't make them so.
Grow up and research your "propaganda".


Wow, there are so many errors in your argument, it's kinda funny.

First of all, your first source that you site to argue that Hitler used evolution to justify the Holocaust comes from a far-right Pentacostal Christian website...this is the website that also decries the seperation of church and state and describes abortion as "The great American holocaust"... not exactly a balanced viewpoint there. Your other "source" is just as bad - 'The Institute for Creation Research'...c'mon dude, seriously? You're going to need a lot more than that to convince me.

Let's set a few facts straight here:

1) Hmm...#1...oh yeah, Hilter was a deeply devout Catholic! How about some quotes, yes?

"I say: my Christian feeling points me to my Lord and Saviour as a fighter. It points me towards the man who, once lonely and surrounded by only a few followers, recognized these Jews and called for battle against them."

and

"I am deeply moved to perceive that his tremendous struggle for this world against the Jewish poison was most profoundly marked by the fact that he had to bleed on the cross for it..."

2) The Nazi party was officially Christian and the majority of members were Christian! Their political policy was to make Christianity the state religion of Germany.

3) R0SENCRANTZ is right. Pope Pius XI signed, and Pope Pius XII negotiated, a concordat with Hitler that gave the church immunity while they supplied the Nazis with money and legal protection for their acts. Pope Pius XI also signed a similar one with Benito Mussolini.

4) Some of the most antisemitic European political and social movements of the 1930's and 1940's were Christian parties.

5) The role of atheists and freethinkers during that time? Well, only 1.5% of the German popluation was self-proclaimed as such, and as stated by Stewart W. Herman Jr, an American clergyman who lived in Nazi Germany during the rise of Hitler, "The athiests may immediately be discounted as exercising any perceptible influence on German religious thought today...[their influence] has been suppressed completely by the new regime which places 'godlessness' in the same category with anarchistic Bolshevism."

This was mostly taken from an article by William Sierichs, Jr., an editor for a newspaper in Louisiana. He has a degree in journalism from LSU. The article is not online, but a similar one can be found in 5 parts from a professor in sociology at the University of Wisconsinhere.
Critically acclaimed books by professors in sociology, history, and anthropology contributed to this article. Authors such as:
Moshe Herczl, Randolph Braham, and David Kertzer.

"As the pivotal intellect in the breaking of the German Enigma codes, Turing arguably made a greater contribution to defeating the Nazis than Eisenhower or Churchill. Thanks to Turing and his 'Ultra' colleagues at Bletchley Park, Allied generals in the field were consistently, over long periods of the war, privy to details German plans before the German generals had time to implement them. After the war, when Turing's role was no longer top secret, he should have been knighted and feted as a saviour of his nation. Instead, this gentle, stammering, eccentric genius was destroyed, for a 'crime', committed in private, which harmed nobody. Once again, the unmistakable trademark of the faith-based moralizer is to care passionately about what other people do (or even think) in private." -- The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins.

Lyrics:

Mr. President, Distinguished delegates...

[H.I.M. Haile Selassie I dialect]

[Bunny Wailer dialogue]
Since the beginning of modern civilization
Generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars
But behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride
Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of ONE LOVE
Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace.
Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars...SELAH!

[Verse 1]
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
And propoganda spreading inna the sunday papers not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
Red-a Judgement a blaze, blaze ya
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed cause
inna dem churches tryin to save...saviours

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 1]
Can we do it? We can do it, we shall do it!

[Verse 2]
Boom!

Only few men survive crawling out

Medic haffi haul him out
And give him two tranquilizer fi stall him out
DEH PON BASE!
Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last week
Him mistress find a new shoes
Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt
SHE STILL SEARCHING!
And the youth dem bawling out
Working hard not to let it all come out
Well it's not safe to go walk about
A slaughterhouse from Bagdad to Waterhouse
She start to arouse sometime she want a spouse
She start go out, start beat a darker stout
GUNS COME OUT!
Working people funds run out
Keep a show last week and no one come out
BOMBS COME OUT!
Mi gas tank just run out
BOMBO CLATT!
The scotch tape just run out
WEED RUN OUT!
Yuh senses must dumb out, Mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun out

Till the malice bun out, A WAR!

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 2]
If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it...then you will die.
You race of cowards, you race of imbosiles, you race of good for nothings
If you cannot do what other men have done
What other nations have done, what other races have done
Then you yourself shall die.

[Repeat Verse 1]

[Verse 3]
SEE IT DEH NOW...Hey!
Now wi fore parents sacrifice enough
Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup
Any day a revolution might erupt, and the skys over Kingston lighting up
For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting up
And through reasoning dem biding up,
Searching for the sign and the sign is us,
Searching for the truth all you find is us,
Searching for the troops still behind is us,
The almighty we recruit and we come from the root
We build like roach building boot
Weh just can't done, Rastafari we design tuff
If a the fight for freedom sign me up
Cause you Tell-Lie-Vision can't blind me up
Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than us
Realizing there's no use fighting us
Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us
So we nah tek talk nor smiling up
Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up,and who...
Calling the shots and nah bust none
Controlling the mind of the young, bring down...

Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mall
All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church IN WAR
Preaching and researching WAR
Practice and rehearsing WAR
Teaching and dem learning WAR
Instigating and urging WAR
Always keep alert in WAR
Cause man will jump out a swerving car
Now bees and birds IN WAR
And the freaks and nerds IN WAR
And the straight and curves IN WAR
Forward and reverse IN WAR
RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED.

*POW*

These are nutritionally viable pieces of meat that would otherwise be wasted. It's only the irrational 'ick' factor that's keeping people from eating them. Chicken nuggets are just a modern extension of the sausage, providing for efficient and economical butchery.

Jamie Oliver is teaching irrationality and inefficiency, all the while being applauded as the saviour of British schoolchildren.

Videos are also hitting the Top 15s with 21-ish votes. Everyone's celebrating the birth of our Saviour or something this week.

We generally avoid adding the *music tag just because there's a good soundtrack to go with an unrelated video... but the song is so cool I'm slapping the tag on. What song is this? Ah, sweet end credits - "Pendulum - Slam"... I don't know who that is, but cool.

Heh, 'clownboat'.
