aaaaaaaaand.... CUE RABID FUNDAMENTAL ATHEISTS AND ALL FAITHFUL BELIEVERS IN THE CHURCH OF RATIONALITY!

Almost every religion says "Love your neighbor".

How many people follow that most basic of religious rules? Expressing through their career and personal life?

So what difference does putting forward a charter of compassion will change that? People are just dicks.

Moving this video to lertad's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Arrghhhh, I *beg for understanding!

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter lertad.

^ something always worth begging for.

Religion is, was and always will be about irrationality - it has nothing to do with compassion. Irrationality is not a virtue, and religion will never be a positive force in the world.

Did you even watch the clip? I only ask because she specifically addressed all your points quite rationally. In fact the video itself is a fairly good rebuttal to your comment.

She does nothing of the sort. An argument is not rational just because it sounds nice and you want to believe it.

^and vice versa.

I think her idea of the charter has some merit. But I think it would be more successful as a bottom-up campaign, rather than top-down. Basically, go grass roots around world with it, instead of starting at the U.N. and with the big religious leaders of the world.

I have to agree with gorillaman here. If your philosophy is based on an irrational foundation, don't expect a rational result.
