It's only late by 2 weeks and you guys probably haven't even seen this, so quit it with the late ratings.
And don't rate this dumb now. :colbert:
[b]Oh man...[/b] I wish I had clear night skies to see the stars at night, must be a trillion more times beautiful than the Northern Lights.
Its late but its still wonderfully inspiring
I stopped watching when he started bashing religion.
Spiritualists will pull the same shit

He made great points in it though.
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;26327013]I stopped watching when he started bashing religion.[/QUOTE]
its funny because that directly supports part of his argument
Science is what everything is. But I'm not a person to stop people from believing, I say, believe what you want to believe.

If you actually believe and have faith in something, you shouldn't have to want to believe in it. Surely if you want to believe in something, it just shows that you don't, and that you're scared of accepting that?
Interesting video, but doesn't really change my religious beliefs .
[QUOTE=Tiowa;26327057]Spiritualists will pull the same shit[/QUOTE]
So it's okay for atheists to do it?
If a Christian leaves me alone, then who am I to tell him he's ignorant and blind? Why the fuck should I care?

It's because it was posted in this section already, not because it's slightly old.
I would have much rather him talk about the wonders of science rather then watch the video turn into a shit filled hate-fest halfway through.
I would rather be a friend to a religious person than to him.

there was no hate here
and even if there was hate, it was toward religion itself, not religious people

It's not supposed to convert you. It just shows the atheist's side and reasoning.

So you stop listening once it offends you? thats not very logical

You mean the first half did

Religious people defend their religion more aggressively than what this guy did.

As silly as hating science

Double standard
[QUOTE=Jund;26349689]You mean the first half did[/QUOTE]
well you have to admit the things he said were mostly true.

He doesn't hate religion he just doesn't believe in it.

Not liking something that hurts people makes sense not liking something that helps doesnt
[QUOTE=imasillypiggys;26349739]well you have to admit the things he said were mostly true.[/QUOTE]
Well science created billions of ways to kill people. Should we just overlook that? The same way people today overlook that religion was what united people and created the greatest empires known to man just because of a few wars? That gives atheists reason to be just as intolerant as religious nutjobs?
How childish.

Religion has helped people, so has science.

But you could say the same as God killing billions of people, Noah's Ark? All those animals dead.
Then why hate religion. Because it's wrong?
If your friend is wrong do you shoot him in the head? Even if he refuses to accept your "correct" answer, is he any less of your friend, or even a human being?

science is a way of finding answers, some people use it for dumb things.
and I would say the bad things religion has done are way more then the good things.
but either way it doesnt matter if religion helped or hurt humans because now its hurting and now its not logical or useful
It's fucking beautiful, I almost cried.
Skip to the 5 minute mark and tell me that he isn't just shitting on religion.

an idea does not have feelings. we should use good ideas and not use bad, its just that simple

Religion helps people. Faith helps people. When you think good you feel good, or something like that.
