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?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MadMax888 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cortland_Brewer I tried to stand for your rights tonight[/quote] What rights? You don't have a right to not be offended. You don't have a right to not be questioned about your beliefs. You don't have a right to not have your beliefs criticized, no matter how outlandish or reasonable they may seem to you or others. Questioning things and being critical of them is a healthy process.[/quote] You are assuming that nobody who is religious has ever questioned their beliefs. Yet, the most fervent of any belief system generally have histories of not believing. How many stories have you head of men and women suddenly becoming a member of a certain religious group? People question their ideas. They don't need others to do it for them. What rights do they have? The right to believe in something personally without having people demand they explain it, the right to respected as individuals despite their difference in opinions. The right as a human being to be who they want to be. I have not once said I am against your ideas, or anybody else's in this thread, and if the same respect had been returned to me, and the people who have (and have not) spoken, there wouldn't have been an issue.
