1. Debate between Christopher Hitchens and Dinesh D'Souza

Comment #85148 by voiceofreason12 on November 5, 2007 at 5:51 am

D'Souza's argument was weak from the outset. It would have only fooled the ignorant masses like those present at King's "College."

D'Souza makes the argument that if you didn't believe in something then you wouldn't focus on it and write books about it and simply behave as if it did not exist. He uses unicorns as his example. Well, this would be a decent argument if it were not for the fact that people aren't trying to subvert science, murder, and infiltrate government and schools for the sake of unicorns. They are however doing these things for "god."

As I said, only the ignorant would have been able to hold down their lunch in the presence of such an uneducated argument. A true Christian champion is D'Souza.

Again, excellent job citizen Hitch!

3. The Moral Necessity of Atheism

Hitchens is brilliant. You all should read his new book God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. I also highly recommend Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation and of course Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion.

We need more people fighting to bring humanity out of this technological Dark Age. Science and religion don't go together.

4. A Look at Regent University

This was horrific. These people are stepping on the constitution of the United States in trying to tear down the wall of separatation that are founding fathers worked so hard to build. There is no freedom of choice with religious fascists in political office making decisions based on their "absolute truth."

Perhaps next they will institute laws for having homosexuals and people who don't keep the sabbath stoned to death as commanded by their invisible maniac in the sky.

Quotes of Note:

"Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that you won't know it, and may even vigorously deny it."

Richard Dawkins

"The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry."

Richard Dawkins

"I doubt that religion can survive deep understanding. The shallows are its natural habitat. Cranks and fundamentalists are too often victimised as scapegoats for religion in general. It is only quite recently that Christianity reinvented itself in non-fundamentalist guise, and Islam has yet to do so (see Ibn Warraq's excellent book, Why I am not a Muslim). Moonies and scientologists get a bad press, but they just haven't been around as long as the accepted religions. Theology is a respectable discipline when it studies such subjects as moral philosophy, the psychology of religious belief and, above all, biblical history and literature. Like Bertie Wooster, my knowledge of the Bible is above average. I seem to know Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon almost by heart. I think that the Bible as literature should be a compulsory part of the national curriculum - you can't understand English literature and culture without it. But insofar as theology studies the nature of the divine, it will earn the right to be taken seriously when it provides the slightest, smallest smidgen of a reason for believing in the existence of the divine. Meanwhile, we should devote as much time to studying serious theology as we devote to studying serious fairies and serious unicorns. "

Richard Dawkins

"The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person who reads it."

Robert G. Ingersoll

"With so many mindbytes to be downloaded, so many mental codons to be replicated, it is no wonder that child brains are gullible, open to almost any suggestion, vulnerable to subversion, easy prey to Moonies, Scientologists and nuns."

Richard Dawkins
