Edited by Madman Mordo: 2/23/2013 1:56:48 PM[quote]my comments were about him in general, not specifically the video[/quote] Again, I think you're getting "attack" and criticising confused. [quote]no, just that his criticisms go too far[/quote] Please elaborate. [quote]no, just the hate-filled ones he spouts and Atheism is stereotyped for as a result.[/quote] Being anti religion is not hate speech. I hope you realise that.

[quote]Being anti religion is not hate speech. I hope you realise that.[/quote]he called faith equatable to a mental illness, and religion itself a virus that infects children. there is a difference between atheism and anti-theism, i hope you realise that.
-
Faith teaches children and people in general to believe in something without evidence. It teaches deep ignorance and a total lack of consideration for the world we live in. Why would that ever be considered beneficial, and not detrimental?

i'm not disagreeing with anything he says, but he shouldn't be so loud-mouthed, arrogant and obnoxious about it. people's beliefs should not be assaulted in the way Dawkins does and that isn't me giving special treatment to religion. if you believe the grass is purple then who am i to tell you you should believe otherwise? religion shouldn't have any real power in the world, because it's a personal thing, but wiping it off the face of the planet because "it's wrong" is not something i agree with. remove it from schools, remove it from politics but what people believe is their choice.
-
Please link me a source to where Dawkins stated he wanted religion wiped off the face of the planet.
-
did i say he said that? no. i was paraphrasing his and others' manner and attitude towards religion.
-
So are you colloquially linking that with Dawkins?

+1 respect for you. Son of Krypton is being a douche; I would've just told him to shut the fuck up.
-
yeah but you're an idiot so you would react like that.
-
And telling someone to shut the -blam!- up totally isn't contradicting your original statement. 1+ hypocrite points for you.
