That is a very wide brush you paint with. Read what you wrote and try not to be too embarrassed.
No need for name calling i agree. But only one of these is made up. The point does need to be made, surely?
Well, if you read the first sentence of my last post, it tells you why it matters about what people believe.
Another example is your belief that religion makes us human. Really? So non-believers are non-human in some way? Are you sure that is the attitude that you want to advocate? And are you sure that such a misanthropic bent has no affect on anything, like say your interactions with believers and non-believers alike?
Small advice: give your arse a chance.
Why would it matter what someone believes about the afterlife? Theist are generally happier (and usually more superstitious) than nonbelievers. I’ve always found people who are anti-religious to be very strange, socially outcasted (they have no respect for anyone), very pompous and aren’t thankful for anything because they believe they made it happen with no one else’s help.
I find it curious that you are happy having the intelligence of a pig!?
So you rather back off instead of speak out legitimate critique and good ideas? THAT is being ignorant and selfish!
Also, I think it’s inappropriate to think that Scientists are generally unhappy.
What people believe about the afterlife affects their actions, and hence others, in this life, so no, whatever they believe is not fine. This is a point believers simply fail to recognize.
And the truth of the matter has nothing to do with creative beliefs. Creative or not, pleasant or not, the truth remains. And the truth is, there is no credible evidence for any type of afterlife.
And yes, it is simply CRAZY to base a life and outlook of facts and theories. Myths are much better. ;(
Whatever people want to believe about the afterlife is perfectly fine, even if it is not scientifically sound. Believing that we just simply die and rot in the ground is not creative at all. Having religion makes us human and whether you have one or not (probably in your case, self-righteous atheism) you have faith in something (science is not a religion, just a collection of facts and theories). Your arrogance is your ignorance.
The idea that science and religion are non-overlapping magisteria is nonsense. Religions consistently make claims about reality and the nature of reality, claims that can and should be examined scientifically. Some religions claim the dead are resurrected, that wine turns to blood, that the moon has been cracked in two. These claims are able to be subjected to science and without exception they are found lacking.
I think science and religion have nothing to do with each other and people should just back off. Name calling is so 1st grade. I won’t let anyone persuade my beliefs no matter what they call me. I’d rather be a happy pig than an unhappy Socrates.
Great video. Please keep it up.
lame ass video
The universe is such a beautiful place to live
The more I understand, the more I love reality
religion and theism is just boring and stupid at this point
At 1:47, that can’t possibly be a world graph, surely just the USA
Excellent vid.
When I hear the science behind natural phenomona (like fire here…) I feel true awe. The more I learn about the sciences, the more I realise just how amazing this world is.
No. Why? What stupid things do you believe?
Wow another awesome video, you, sir, have a new subscriber.
Ah, the wonderful Sibelius.
And ofc, the wonderful Philhellenes.

“Ridicule?” It’s nothing even remotely close to that. I’m being subjectively questionable on the supposed unfalsifiability of God; of course it was expected that you would, almost immediately, assert that I was being disrespectful and offensive; it’s evident you yourself are a theist.
Don’t you have anything better to do besides try to ridicule others on YOUTUBE?
Very important to mention that, back then, denying god was risking your life.

“and in the expirement where life was “created” all the was created was 4 amino acids out of the 23 needed for life.”
An interesting little tidbid for you “Rip Van Winkle”…. That first experiment was AGES ago. Many later ones improved upon the experiment and yielded far greater results. But MOST interesting; the preserved samples were recently re-examined with modern technology, and they detected MANY more of those essential building block molecules. Go look it up.

“Also scientist have no proof of The prebiotic soup that they state as if its fact. no evidence has been found that it ever existed. ”
That statement is simply ‘whack’. Many different educated and informed guesses of combinations, based upon archeological discoveries, interplanetary observations, and modern chemistry, have yielded all SORTS of results.
But what is most ‘whack’ is how anti-evolution critics seem to think ANY result is a ‘failure’ because it’s ‘controlled’.

“Fuck off you disgusting little Sicko.”
I think a school debate would be great for kids to discuss if a God could burn us in hell for eternity. If hell can be debunked religion would just become rules without any reason to follow them.
I’ll be happy to believe in God if he tells me to in person, as long as he does it in such a way that I could be sure that it was not a hallucination (for example, in the presence of multiple reliable witnesses, none of which are in a highly emotional or otherwise altered state). Where are the voices speaking out of burning bushes, or out of thin air when people get baptized? In Old Testament times, Moses saw God so often that he knew him on a first-name basis.
Scientist dont fear hell because it simply doesnt exist lol ill drink to that
