God: A Reassuring Fable (Carl Sagan)

After some positive responses from my previous threads (as well as tons of Sagan love), I've decided to post yet another link to a famous someone-or-other. This time it happens to be the late, great Carl Sagan, famous Cosmologist and science educator. (1934-1996) [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtDjZ5TRQWI&feature=g-all-f]God: A Reassuring Fable.[/url] What do you think of this video, and more generally, Sagan [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_sagan]himself[/url], Flood?

It is simply happened to be the title of the Youtube video. Ignoring that though, just because something implies a belief is false does not necessarily mean that it attempts to change the beliefs of another person. It simply presents a different viewpoint.[/quote] No. Just no. If I walk into a bar and loudly announce I hate black people, I'm obviously going to provoke an argument, which is by definition two (or more) people trying to push their opinion on the other(s). Please, stop trying to be clever, stop searching for loopholes and technicalities. This is a criticism of religion, it's baiting a pointless flame war/e-argument, it should be locked. The end.[/quote] Did you honestly just compare a lack of belief in god to racism? If you honestly think that someone stating their opinion is "trying to push their beliefs on others" then where does the problem reside?[/quote] [u]I do not belong to a religion, I am simply trying to stand up for the rights of people who do[/u][/quote] That post was not directed at you, I understand your predicament.
