Ah. Reminds me of the Palin supporters.

What's the deal with the hybrid speaking? I'm not even sure what the native tongue is here (maybe Hindi?), but he falls in to English for random patches. Is this typical?

This theocrat's pretense to being a scholar is farcical.

If he understood physics, chemistry, biology, natural history, and human history, he would realize that supposing the existence of a god is not necessary for explaining anything, and hence one cannot be certain of his existence, let alone his existence in the form described by any particular human institution.

God I wish I could have downvoted this complete waste of time....

Well, I don't feel like downvoting your comment, and I found reading it was a complete waste of my time.
I guess that's what makes us different.

2+2=Allah

The process by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight, is called Allah.

E=mcAllah

The number of moles in a molecule is Allah.

I've heard that several times from coworkers from india. they switch from Hindi / Urdu to English back and forth during single sentences. Even when talking to their families. Guess that's due to the history of India being a UK colony.

Why is this a big deal? He just has the balls to say what every other religious person is thinking.

Circular reasoning in action. How do we know Islam is true? Because the Koran says it's the only true religion. How do we know the Koran is true? It says so right here in the Koran. Riiight.

At least he's being straightforward about it. Hard to argue that if you REALLY believe your religion is the ONLY true religion and the rest are putting your soul in danger, why would you risk people's 'spiritual' lives from being corrupted?

Not so hard to see why they are so intolerant; being tolerant, in this sense, is showing a lack of faith.

God loves me more.

Nyah, nyah, nyah.

what a fucking douche bag. thats why I have no tolerance for religion because they are all as fuckin idiotic as this tard.

the maths example reminded me of the scene in room101 from 1984, re-enacted also here in star trek -
http://www.videosift.com/video/Captain-Picard-on-Torture

It's more like
Islam: x + y = 2
Christianity: x + y = 4
Scientology: x + y = 6
Atheism: x and y are unknown.

That's quite a remarkable display of pure religious arrogance, beuatifully simplified and distilled. And all without any sense or awareness of his own egotistical assholery.

And to think... Islam was once the center of the world for scientific learning.

Isn't that throwing stones in glass houses? We say the same thing: http://www.videosift.com/video/Feeling-the-Hate-In-Jerusalem-on-Obama-s-Cairo-Address#comment-778730

I don't think so, no.

As much as I believe what I believe, I'm willing to let others believe what they want as well. My problem begins when someone else tries to tell me I have to do things his way.

You can decide on who's right and who's wrong yourself, but it's the willingness to allow others to decide on their own who's right and who's wrong that makes a society free.

Dude! He looks exactly like Christopher Hitchens in the thumb. He's got the exact same posture and expression that Hitchens likes to take.

Wouldn't "x and y are unknown" be agnosticism?

I'd imagine atheism to be {x,y}=Ø

Judaism: x + y = 3. Is there a group discount available?

Depends on your definition of agnosticism.

If you want to get more detailed about it, atheism is more like

X is likely 3
Y is likely 4
based on: [big complex equation] (evidence)

where agnosticism is more like x+y may be 2, 4, 6, 7 (...), we can never know which one.

Poor guy. Still deluded by the imaginary, invisible man in the sky.

Get me off this rock.

Religious freedom in most of the middle east is slightly ahead of what Europe had 600 years ago... maybe in a few centuries they'll get on board with the disestablishment of state religion.

what the hell are you two talking about?!
in this video they are clearly speaking about SAUDI ARABIA! where the hell did you get hindi, urdu and india from?!
geez

My contribution to the math:

Stupidity plus ignorance plus hatred = religion

Well this is a no brainer so ill jab at him the only way he'll understand!

*snicker* he has ball hair all over his face

"They (Non-Muslims) are not sure about religious Truths."

He obviously hasn't met Fred Phelps yet.

The funny thing to me, as a bit of a math dork, is that 2+2=4 is only certain because mathematics more or less starts with the assumption that addition works that way.

Why do we assume that? Because it's a pretty basic scientific observation that if I have two of some object, and then get two more, I will have four.

We don't really know why that is the case, but we observe it, and can come up with a theoretical framework for predicting it -- otherwise known as addition.

If Muslims really had the same kind of easily accessible, reliable scientific observations backing up their position on the nature of the universe, it seems to me that there would be about as many non-Muslims in the world as there are people who genuinely believe that 2+2=3.

That said, there's no reason to censor people who would want to argue that 2+2=3 to those who choose to listen (as would happen in a Church or Synagogue), but I probably wouldn't want that person teaching math in an elementary school. However, if it was a college-level course introducing algebraic structures and the concept of mathematics based on different axioms, that would probably be a fine starting point for getting students to question what they think is unquestionably true.
