201. Atheist Rap: Extian, The Verse from Atheist Nation Pt III

Comment #20840 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 6:14 pm

"It's rather annoying hearing so many people decry Greydon when if they were to watch his videos, they would know that he's an EX-crip."

How ya figure? He still wears his blues, carries guns, and cocks his hat to the left. Thats like saying someones an ex-Christian that just happens to go to church every sunday, pray, and sing in the choir.

202. Panel discussion on atheism where no atheists are included

Comment #20830 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 5:59 pm

Sam Harris is a regular on Fox News. I'm glad that you guys are starting to wake up, and realize that liberalism is just as dogmatic as religion.

203. Panel discussion on atheism where no atheists are included

Comment #20824 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 5:46 pm

"Damn it! We've been "SHUT UP" for decades now. But no longer. They WILL hear us."

Disgusting, par for the course with CNN. This is the same network that brought us the "so poor, so black" comment.

I said it before, and i will say it again, Atheism is the civil rights movement version 2.0.

204. Interview with Alister McGrath, author of 'The Dawkins Delusion?'

Comment #20820 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 5:37 pm

Alister McGrath is a typical young earth creationist. Now that Ted Haggard has been dethrowned, he's trying to step up and take his place. Maybe, he should learn some science and figure out that the world isn't 6000 years old.

I say, Prof Dawkins, should sue to stop him from making a book off his name. It's slander, plain and simple.

205. Panel discussion on atheism where no atheists are included

Comment #20802 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 4:52 pm

Horribe, but typical of CNN.

206. 'Everyone Is Afraid to Criticize Islam': Interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Comment #20798 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 3:38 pm

This woman is brave. Great to see some fellow people of color being proud of their atheism.

207. Atheist Rap: Extian, The Verse from Atheist Nation Pt III

Comment #20793 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 3:07 pm

I don't think he really explains anything...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GItTQsfrRIM&mode=related&search=

It's a shame he took down the video were he alluded to a Jewish conspiracy to control the world. The guy is a complete nutcase, he's just making us look stupid with his rants. Anybody that endorses him, or violence based on atheism, needs a to have thier head examined.

208. Sam Harris talks about 'The End of Faith'

Comment #20784 by MIND_REBEL on February 6, 2007 at 1:54 pm

Great to see some real scientists getting some publicity. The movement is getting stronger everyday.

209. Benny Hinn Faith Healing Scam - Burton and Tinkler

Comment #20689 by MIND_REBEL on February 5, 2007 at 7:27 pm

Think of all the money that could have been donated to science, instead of benny's new jet. This perfectly demonstrates the moral and ethical limitations of a capitalist society. People have so much money they waste them on fairytales instead of supporting the observation and understanding of the natural world.

210. Atheist Rap: Extian, The Verse from Atheist Nation Pt III

Comment #20674 by MIND_REBEL on February 5, 2007 at 4:34 pm

I watched enough of his stuff to know he's a crip, and postures with illegal machine guns in his videos.

I'm Mexican, and have seen enough gang violence to know that gangbangers are the scum of the earth. No excuses.

211. Atheist Rap: Extian, The Verse from Atheist Nation Pt III

Comment #20666 by MIND_REBEL on February 5, 2007 at 4:06 pm

Congrats!!! We've finally found something dumber and more pathetic than Christian Rock!!!!

Guys, get real. Drive by shootings in the name of atheism? The guys a crip, poses with ak-47s, and implies violence against people that don't convert to atheism.

212. Evolution Debate - Pigliucci vs Hovind

Comment #20304 by MIND_REBEL on February 1, 2007 at 4:36 pm

Isn't Hovind in jail. Irony alert!!!!

213. God and gorillas

Comment #20302 by MIND_REBEL on February 1, 2007 at 4:07 pm

What crap. Honestly, how can somebody be an agnostic and still consider themselves a scientist. What if you're agnostic about the data you're suppoused to look at, "oh i'm not sure if it's really there or not, so i'll just be respectful, so as not to hurt anybodys feelings". The end result is that nothing would ever be accomplished and we'd still be living in the stone ages.

It's time for real scientists to start to push the line about tolerating agnostics and theists in important matters like science and medicine.

214. What a Friend We Have in Dawkins

Comment #20301 by MIND_REBEL on February 1, 2007 at 3:57 pm

In fifty years Dawkins will be held in the same regard as Socrates, Einstein, and Darwin. I can't think of single person alive today that has had a greater postive influence on the world. Prof Dawkins is everything that Rev Martin Luther King could have and should have been.

The Orr "review", if thats what you want to call it, was horrible and i'm suprisied and shocked to see a mainstream press like the NYtimes yielding to the pressure of the radical creationist lobby. I like to see Orr review some of the "science" books that say the world is only 6000 years old. I bet he wouldn't think of it, but yet he'll bash real scientists like Dawkins, who are only making the world a better place.

215. Neil deGrasse Tyson - Death by Black Hole

Comment #20140 by MIND_REBEL on January 31, 2007 at 3:04 pm

I feel Neil Tyson does a disservice to the work of prof Dawkins by tolerating the theistic worldview. People like him are giving just as much cover to the extremists as the religious moderates. An Atheist that is ashamed of his atheism doesn't deserve to call themselves an atheist.

216. Richard Dawkins interview about 'Unweaving the Rainbow'

Comment #19920 by MIND_REBEL on January 30, 2007 at 4:33 pm

Great to see Science getting some mainstream press.

217. Durham Council Votes To Continue Saying Lord's Prayer

Comment #19392 by MIND_REBEL on January 26, 2007 at 9:37 pm

Typical Fundies.

218. Britons unconvinced on evolution

Comment #18930 by MIND_REBEL on January 23, 2007 at 6:05 pm

Pretty funny to watch all you brits dismiss science as "fiction" when you don't like the results. Who's to blame?

219. Britons unconvinced on evolution

Comment #18742 by MIND_REBEL on January 22, 2007 at 5:51 pm

Looks like Dawkins should mind his own backyard.

220. Zeus devotees worship in Athens

Comment #18549 by MIND_REBEL on January 21, 2007 at 4:54 pm

"This must be where Sam Harris gets his Poseidon hate mail from."

Sam probably thinks they're real, and have been reincarnated into the different arms of the buddha.

221. Skyway to Heaven

Comment #18543 by MIND_REBEL on January 21, 2007 at 4:42 pm

"Something like 44% of the US population believes that Jesus will probably or certainly come within the next 50 years."

Surveys show that 43% of respondents say something that could possibly be interprated like that.

222. Neither intellect nor faith will save humanity

Comment #18511 by MIND_REBEL on January 21, 2007 at 11:25 am

I agree with you nine9s. Redneck is a racially loaded bigoted term. My parents are from Durango, which is Cowboy country, so i grew up with lots of cowboy hats, boots, tejano music, bolo ties, line dancing...you name it. Just because somebody looks a certain way, it's incredibily bigoted to think they're going to think a certain way.

223. Neither intellect nor faith will save humanity

Comment #18508 by MIND_REBEL on January 21, 2007 at 10:40 am

Thanks guys. I'm Mexican, do you have any cute words to describe me? I'd guess it starts with "S" and ends with a "C". The same type of person that calls people "redneck" won't hesitate to drop other racial slurs. Bigotry is bigotry, and just because some forms are more acceptable than others doesn't mean it's okay.

224. Neither intellect nor faith will save humanity

Comment #18433 by MIND_REBEL on January 20, 2007 at 7:05 pm

"I have no problem at all with terms like "redneck". It's just a quick way of saying "under-educated, ignorant hick moron".

Do you hate poor blacks, too? Do you have any quick ways to describe them? I bet you do. People don't pick where they're born or to have rich parents, so cut people some slack about things they don't choose. It's how they live thier lives that matter. Bill Clinton is a redneck, GWB is not. You just hate anyone less fortunate than yourself.

225. Neither intellect nor faith will save humanity

Comment #18398 by MIND_REBEL on January 20, 2007 at 2:53 pm

"The recent revelations that George Bush is in fact profoundly and quite genuinely religious, and not just making it up to win votes from the redneck knuckle-draggers"

Redneck is not an acceptable term. No need for bigotry.

226. God's Hostages

Comment #18338 by MIND_REBEL on January 19, 2007 at 9:56 pm

Sam Harris is correct about everything. Religion is the root cause of sexism.

227. 'God Is Not a Moderate'

Comment #17980 by MIND_REBEL on January 17, 2007 at 8:17 pm

As always Sam is correct.

228. A deadly certitude

Comment #17938 by MIND_REBEL on January 17, 2007 at 3:55 pm

Great to see Steven sticking up for Dawkins against the cheapshots from the NYTimes. An attack on atheism is an attack on science, and science is progress, so logically, an attack on Atheism is an attack on progress, and i won't support any publication that is not supportive of the movement.

229. Sam Harris at Idea City '05

Comment #17920 by MIND_REBEL on January 17, 2007 at 2:22 pm

Sam, great speech. I love the way you call all those Christians on thier irrational ideas. If everybody was more like you, the world would be a much better place.

230. Atheist Outreach: Group Coaxes Unbelievers Into the Open

Comment #17813 by MIND_REBEL on January 16, 2007 at 5:40 pm

Yes, face to face missionary work is the most effective way to spread the good word of reason.

231. Conservative Atheists

Comment #17512 by MIND_REBEL on January 14, 2007 at 9:57 am

I agree 100%, i'm an atheist and i'm a conservative. It's about time that nonbelievers woke up, and realizied that liberalism is basically just another religion.

232. Copy of The God Delusion Purchased for $20,000

Comment #17443 by MIND_REBEL on January 13, 2007 at 7:02 pm

Great to see people open their hearts and checkbooks to help science.

233. Gentle Rottweiler

Comment #17309 by MIND_REBEL on January 12, 2007 at 9:13 pm

It's good to see Prof Dawkins in a postive light. I get sick of all the right wing attacks on him.

234. Federal Way schools restrict Gore film

Comment #17308 by MIND_REBEL on January 12, 2007 at 9:11 pm

Al Gore is a friend of science.

235. Readers Write: Atheist Sam Harris on Torture and Faith

Comment #17067 by MIND_REBEL on January 10, 2007 at 2:59 pm

Too little, too late. I would like to see a formal apology, and have Gorenfield go write for some religious website, instead of just pretending to be objective.

236. Homophobia, not injustice, is what really fires the faiths

Comment #17065 by MIND_REBEL on January 10, 2007 at 2:56 pm

It's suprising to hear Toynbee attack religion.

237. Halting progress

Comment #16926 by MIND_REBEL on January 9, 2007 at 4:01 pm

Looks like England is getting just as bad as the USA with thier Christian fundies.

238. Intelligent design is a science, not a faith

Comment #16925 by MIND_REBEL on January 9, 2007 at 3:58 pm

Another disgusting example of Evolution Denial.

239. Consciousness Without Faith

Comment #16624 by MIND_REBEL on January 7, 2007 at 4:33 pm

Harris amazes me with every piece he writes.

240. Questionable Mission

Comment #16623 by MIND_REBEL on January 7, 2007 at 4:31 pm

"Having someone in the military who places duty to country in third place is rather frightening. It is equally worrisome that so many people are apparently using their positions of authority -- the salaries of which are paid for by public taxation -- to proselytize for their faith."

I agree 100%. I think its also questionable when a public employee uses a portion of the governmental income to support religious causes. Because if you really think about it, it's still our tax dollars going to support stuff that blurrs the line of seperation of church and state. I'm not overly concerned about it, but it's still a bummer.

241. Ancient religion may face extinction

Comment #16455 by MIND_REBEL on January 6, 2007 at 4:12 pm

It's a great start

I hope the same happens to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

242. Sam Harris's Faith in Eastern Spirituality and Muslim Torture

Comment #16429 by MIND_REBEL on January 6, 2007 at 2:56 pm

We should have a freethinking Boycott of Alternet if they don't retract that story. Sam Harris is correct, and i'm getting sick of all these cheapshots coming from anti-atheist bigots.

243. Secular fundamentalists are the new totalitarians

Comment #16345 by MIND_REBEL on January 6, 2007 at 7:22 am

LOL at the author bashing Atheism. Some of these anti-atheist rants are starting to border on hate speech.

244. Hybrid embryo work 'under threat'

Comment #16260 by MIND_REBEL on January 5, 2007 at 6:33 pm

Great to see the faithful still beating the drums for the war on science.

245. The New Atheists

Comment #16251 by MIND_REBEL on January 5, 2007 at 6:01 pm

Great to see some national exposure for the movement.

2007 is going great for those spreading the rational world of science, reason, and logic.

246. Without God, Gall Is Permitted

Comment #16248 by MIND_REBEL on January 5, 2007 at 5:27 pm

"Here is Sam Harris, for instance, addressing those who wonder if destroying human embryos in the process of stem cell research might be morally dicey: "Your qualms . . . are obscene.""

LOL at this Straw Man.
