1. John McCain: America a Christian nation, needs Christian president

Comment #190905 by DarwinsPitbull on June 9, 2008 at 9:24 pm

Is this the first presidential campaign some of you have witnessed? I find it surprising that many of you seem to be surprised to hear someone running for president say the things Mccain just said. He's a republican and he has to say those things, especially since the christian right isn't a big fan of him. McCain has said many things in the past about the christian right, where he called some of them "agents of intollerance" and similar things. All he is doing, is the same thing Obama will start doing, and that is pandering to the religious(primarily in the southern and midwestern states). He needs them to win so I don't find it surprising at all that he is saying what he's saying, I would find it surprising if he didn't say things like this during a presidential campaign. He probably also realizes he messed up when he raised his hand in a republican debate when asked the question "Which one of you believes in evolution?". My guess is that he is just trying to make up for that now. Lets also remember that he doesn't have to really believe all the stuff he said, he just has to make christians believe he does.

2. Science leads to killing people

Comment #170706 by DarwinsPitbull on April 27, 2008 at 10:37 pm

I don't think Stein is really nuts, or at least not 100% nuts. He is playing to the crowd that will go and watch this movie. You don't think that all the religious people who deny evolution weren't applauding when he said all those ridiculous things in that interview. So he knows he's not going to convince any rational, intelligent person on his views so he's targeting a specific audience with his rhetoric and they will most likely go and watch his film because of it. If thats not why he's doing it, then he is a complete nutjob and should be put in a asylum.

3. Council pays psychic for exorcism

Comment #126426 by DarwinsPitbull on February 13, 2008 at 8:28 am

You know I had the same experience, except I had a friend who wouldn't leave my house so I threw salt on him and told him to get the hell out.

Comment #85256 by DarwinsPitbull on November 5, 2007 at 11:17 am

Janus,

Whats the point of ridiculing RRS? Every one who tries to help the cause of atheism, should be welcomed and not pushed away. Not every atheist is going be a professor, philosopher or neurologist. They are at least trying to help, even if you think its "amateurishly".

9. Pascal's Wager

Comment #81871 by DarwinsPitbull on October 25, 2007 at 10:25 am

I think one of the things that is wrong with this argument is when they say that if there is no hell then xtians haven't lost anything.

First, xtains do lose a lot of time going to church and praying to an imaginary god their whole lives.

Second, they lose a lot of money when they give it away to churches, thinking they are doing a good thing.

Third, they live there whole lives according to the teaching of this god, who doesn't exist, and get all the guilt and misery of thinking that they are nothing but sinners and that they need to be saved.

Fourth, not only does this belief affect them but it also affects the way they think about other people. For example, if there is no god, then they spent there whole lives hating gays, and other religious people, for no reason.

Fifth, because of this faith in god, they lost there sense of reason and critical thinking.

So i think that when xtains say that "if there is no god, then I haven't lost anything in believing in it", we should point out all the thing they did actually lose.

10. Debate between Christopher Hitchens and Dinesh D'Souza

Comment #81361 by DarwinsPitbull on October 24, 2007 at 4:14 pm

WOW, how can this guy say that it was a tie. Hitchens just wiped the floor with him and made his points very well. It was a great debate to watch. One of the better debates I have seen Hitchens in.

Comment #78098 by DarwinsPitbull on October 11, 2007 at 8:06 pm

This is a great fantasy, but by no means will it ever become a reality. You would have to eliminate all the fanatics first before this even comes close to becoming a reality. And as long as there is religion, there will always be fanatics.

Comment #67941 by DarwinsPitbull on September 5, 2007 at 9:28 am

Why does it even matter if Dawkins has been paid plenty for his series and book, why do you think he should give it to you for free because you bought the book? In that case, Bill Gates should give me the new version of windows for free since I have windows xp and Audi should give me a new car because I have already paid for one of there cars.

I love how this coward disables commenting on his video on youtube. Is this the best things christians have to offer, a guy who is afraid of having people comment on his video. I guess us atheist should really be scared now.

16. How could God allow 26 pilgrims to die in a crash?

Comment #58848 by DarwinsPitbull on July 26, 2007 at 11:52 am

It's funny he mentions the book of Job but misses a very important part of the story. The reason god takes job's health, wealth and family away from him is because he has a wager going with the devil. So the real point of the story is that god's ego is the only thing god cares about. That is a terrible story to use to try and make a point about suffering and pain and why god lets it happen. Apparently the author of this article never really read the story, probably just heard it from a preacher who cut out the section where it says god does those terrible things to job over a bet.

17. Convict sues God for broken contract

Comment #56830 by DarwinsPitbull on July 17, 2007 at 12:34 pm

What do they mean god has no address where they can serve him papers? Don't they know he lives in heaven? They'll just have to kill a good person, and have him tell god when he gets to heaven, that he's being sued. Simple.

18. Hitler Was an Atheist Who Killed Millions in the Name of Atheism, Secularism?

Comment #56451 by DarwinsPitbull on July 15, 2007 at 8:36 pm

I think this just shows how religious people will believe anything, if you tell them your doing gods work. It doesn't really matter to much what he was, I think it matters more who the people who supported him and liked his vision were.
They can argue all they want that Hitler was an atheist, but it was because of the religious that he got power. Even if he didn't believe any of the shit he said about god , he knew it would work on them.

How many atheists would vote for me, if I was running for president and promised you an atheistic society but we had to kill all the jews and christians first? I like to think none would.

I read an article about him today on yahoo and it said that his parents were both Atheist. What the hell went wrong? Apparently he didn't like the idea that we are all equal and evolved from apes, and decided that there wasn't enough hate in his heart.

25. Does God Exist? The Nightline Face-Off (more info)

Comment #40733 by DarwinsPitbull on May 14, 2007 at 8:23 pm

I will agree that this wasn't the greatest debate ever but it wasn't the worst. It seems like people only want people like Dawkins or Harris or Hitchens to debate against religion.

They are busy people, I would think and don't have time to go around debating everyone. Yes , RRS wasn't the greatest but at least they stepped up and tried and did a good job.

They actually did also win the debate because Cameron and Comfort said they can prove god exist scientifically and they didn't. So that's one for the good guys.

I just think atheist need to stop ranking on others who are on our side and who are at least doing something to fight religion from taking over. That's just my opinion though.

26. Face-Off: Can You Prove God Exists?

Comment #40558 by DarwinsPitbull on May 14, 2007 at 1:29 pm

From what I have read in other places about this debate, it was Cameron and Comfort who challenged the rational response squad to the debate because they were the ones responsible for the blasphemy challenge which upset those 2 religious morons.

I also agree with what others have said, that it's good that the people on the atheist side weren't Phd's or professors because it shows you don't have to be a genius to disprove god's existence. All you need to do is think rationally and logically.

If anything , this debate was an embarrassment for christians because they looked like idiots up there. I hate Cameron and Comfort so it made me extremely happy to see them look like fools.

32. Religion useless to Dawkins

Comment #29413 by DarwinsPitbull on April 2, 2007 at 9:03 pm

Is she seriously trying to use the argument that she fell into the pool while listening to his book, so therefore there's a god. She sounded like a rational person up to that point. But who knows maybe she has a point because the other day i was riding a unicycle while drinking coffee and eating a sandwich and reading Dawkins book while i wrote an email on my laptop and then I fell. I guess that was god punishing me.

33. Darwin 'was committed to publish'

Comment #28794 by DarwinsPitbull on March 30, 2007 at 11:33 pm

I could completely understand if Darwin was a little afraid of publishing his book. He came up with a theory that put a bullet into god's head. I would be afraid that his henchmen would come after me too.

Are they freakin serious? I am losing hope in humanity.

35. Gimme That Old Time Religion (Bashing)

Comment #27406 by DarwinsPitbull on March 24, 2007 at 12:28 pm

"It is the glue that holds together a society based on religious pluralism: in our country, we seek to treat as equal citizens, the theist and the atheist; the Christian and the non-Christian."

If this is true, why can't a person who says they are an atheist hold a high public office or become president. There are polls that show most Americans would not vote for an atheist based on the fact that they are an atheist. Thats why a political leader can say more then a few words without mention the word "God" somewhere. Atheist are treated equally in America, just as long as they don't have power to make decisions about the direction in which to take the country.

36. Lonely Atheists of the Global Village

Comment #26306 by DarwinsPitbull on March 18, 2007 at 3:43 pm

It's funny that in one section, he makes the argument that since there are so many religious people, that it can't be all bad. Maybe someone should point out to him, that there were a lot of nazis during WW2, so I guess they can't be all wrong. There's also a lot of jihadist now, so they can't be all wrong either.
