Richard Dawkins vs. Ray Comfort.

brain says...

Holy shit. I might have actually voted on this video if you made it clear that you thought it was a terrible train wreck and thought it was funny. But it wasn't even that funny. It was more depressing.

I was going to respond to some of the things in the video, but fuck it. Really, what's the point? If you can't figure out why most of the points made in that video are bullshit, you're beyond help.

Atheist Commercial that Compares God to an Abusive Husband

brain says...

I don't even understand what this video is trying to say. It doesn't seem to be making a claim at all about God's existence. There is no mention of evidence. There is no mention of facts or truth. There is no real argument other than you might feel free or happier if you don't believe in God. If this changes your belief in God, then you are committing the logical fallacy of appealing to the consequence. If I disregard that argument, there doesn't appear to be anything left.

TYT: Fox and Global Warming

brain says...

The comment on Fox definitely wasn't a joke. People say stupid comments like that all the time. Hannity just just made a comment like this a few weeks ago when it snowed in Houston. People I know make comments like this all the time and I'm constantly having to explain global warming to them.

Bacon RAAAGEEEE!!

brain says...

I just want to say that this is the meme of the year! I've gotten everyone I know to use phrases from this video in daily life. Whenever my little dog stands on people we say "She's acting like she's the queen, and we're the sorry people!"

And there are endless opportunities to say "I've been nice to you, but now I'm coming to the EDGE!"

And I can't order anything with bacon without informing everyone that "Bacon, is good for me!"

Atheists Can't Think For Themselves!

brain says...

First of all, I thought the video was pretty boring. But I wanted to ask you about your comment. Pretty much all the religions have beliefs about the nature of the universe that are mutually exclusive. At most, only one of them could be right. Furthermore, there is only one universal truth. I've certainly never seen evidence of any religion ever. Picking one at random does seem rather foolish, doesn't it? Choosing the religion of my parents or of my surroundings or my upbringing is pretty much the same as picking one at random isn't it? I mean, it has the same probability of being wrong, and I still wouldn't have seen any evidence. If someone fools himself into thinking a religion is true, just because he was brought up in it, wouldn't he be a fool? If someone devotes his entire life to servicing one religion, but then spends an eternity in another religion's hell, wouldn't he be an extreme fool?

I also disagree with the equating of religious criticism with racial criticism. I understand this is how most people think, but I have no idea why. Of course it's terrible to criticize anyone for something they've inherited from birth and can't change. That makes sense. But I can mock people that think Elvis is still alive, right? I can mock birthers and 911 truthers, right? I can even mock Scientologists and new-age hippies, right? What's so special about major religions? I honestly think that a little bit of internet mockery is a good thing. Maybe it'll cause some people to lighten up a little bit, or maybe even think about their religion enough to defend it.

>> ^crillep:

He talked about Christianity as a single entity for the whole video, even refering to himself as "we Christians". He mentions that every other type of Christianity is fake, yes. But in doing that he only implies that every Christian is a fool for choosing their own particular faith over many others. I don't see how it can be understood any other way.
I'm neither religious nor an atheist, but I frequent the sift. And I must say this is just another pathetic rant from atheism. The way I was brought up, mocking someones faith in this manner is just as wrong as mocking their skin color. I think church and state should be seperated, and I admire the voices for that cause. But I also think that people should be allowed to believe whatever the hell they want without being ridiculed.
