Richard Dawkins: An atheist's call to arms

mwitster Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Anyone who claims Christians and there beliefs are completely ridiculous has a serious problem, they're ignoring -the incredible complexity of creation which speaks of a creator God -the fact we are made with a conscience that knows we've done wrong when we sin against God

Nov 22, 2009 - hahahahahahahha Your a big dumbass, atheism is just not believing in a fairy tale. If your right than being a vegetarian is a religion, not believing in eating meat.

StudioStar Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - If "creation", as we know it, is so incredibly complex, then surely the entity that created this complex creation must be even more complex and incredible. Using your reasoning this means something must have created this entity as well... and so on and on and on and on.

Ezrado Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Dude i totally agree. But if you're going to call someone a dumbass try using the right 'you're'.

DSD1v57BG32 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Oops, I didn't see that, its not like they know the difference.

Hjernespreng Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - @mrwitster There is nothing in nature that speaks of a creator. If you think it does, then you simply don't understand anything at all about nature. Our conscience is altered by instinct and upgrowth. We know when we have done something wrong to the community, not "god".

Nov 23, 2009 - I'll play the same game atheists do. They say who created God? I ask who created nature?

CHARESTHEHAMER Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - "An atheist's call to arms"? Go for it dawkins cult consists of nothing but brainless pussies who would make for great target practice.

cropfrop Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - I like him; don't agree with everything he says; tends to confuse religion with metaphysics, but he wears his heart on his sleeve. I respect that.

JanieL808 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Lol...I love this man... I wish people wouldn't ignore what he teaches... And he does it in such a respectful way...

alexanderblake Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - I'm sorry I misunderstood this comment. Does this mean you want to kill atheists?

womperj Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Begging the question, you make the assumption that it was a "who" that created nature, or that it even necessitates a creation.

Nov 24, 2009 - I read a lot. I like stuff like the third chimpanzee and love Carl Sagan, David Suzuki ect. Religion at times is presented as science when it shouldn't be. Like Carl Sagan said, scientists don't care for what makes us feel good. Religion is just mankind's attempt for the ultimate feel good...no other animal worries about the after life but us. A hundred years ago I was nowhere to be found. A hundred years from now I will once again be nowhere. It's how nature works. Everything in turn.

CHARESTHEHAMER Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Not really. But if Dawkins sad little cult of brainless pussies ever did take up arms it would be relatively easy to pull the trigger.

Nov 24, 2009 - @CHARESTHEHAMER You seem to be the brainless one if you can't stop a metaphor.

kingofmilwaukee Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - I like the speaker in this video. And I think he is 95% right.

GOPHater Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Hey CHARESTHEHAMER, your mom was the worst lay I ever had.

Lekeeon Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Fantastic speech. Dawkins is the man!

Shavarnarak Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Actually us smart people are the ones who tell your dumb testosterone laden ass what to do. Now get back to work drone.

Shavarnarak Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Ah, I find Dawkins very refreshing. More rationalists should be like him. He takes a stand against ignorance and irrationality.

VioletClub Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - "We are survival machines -- robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes." - Richard Dawkins

naturalpreservation Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - I think we should take a stand against ignorance especially when it has a corrosive effect. In 1976 Dawkins 'memetics' cultural theory matched genetic evolution "quite exactly" wrote Dennett in his 1995 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea'. On the you tube video 'The Purpose of Purpose' Dawkins (2009) acknowledges/concedes that cultural evolution is only "superficially similar" to genetic evolution. Superficial is how I would label his approach to culture in promoting his Universal Darwinism dogma.

naturalpreservation Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Interesting reference to "no matter how God-like" towards the end of his 2005 TED lecture on a Universe queerer than we can suppose. Sound familiar? that's also how Darwin referred to humankind in the closing paragraph of 'The Descent of Man'. They are/were both wrong. Dawkins told Bill Maher he was 6/7ths atheist, which is actually an agnostic position. He said as a scientist that he couldn't be 7/7ths atheist and yet he breaches this very self-imposed guideline.

Lekeeon Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Sorry, but Dawkins actually told Bill Maher he was 6.9/7ths atheist. That is not an agnostic. Agnostic would be 5/7. His book God Delusion has a chapter about all of it.

naturalpreservation Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - He told Maher he was 6/7ths initially and then he joked and went out to 6.9/7ths. Agnostic would be 5/7ths, who gave Dawkins the licence to set the spectrum on faith? He says as a scientist that he couldn't completely discount God. That being the case if he wrote a book called 'The Implausibility of God' that would be one thing, he didn't and the resultant 'The God Delusion' more evidence for someone with a pedigree of being serially wrong on culture. His Thor point is laughably poor in reason
