Nov 21, 2008 - has anyone else noticed that it looks like dawkins is holding a cross upside down? the way the light hits - it's brilliant!

Nov 22, 2008 - I'm with Dawkins all the way in condemning parents for indoctrinating children by labeling them as "christian" or "muslim" (etc) children. They are NOT christian children, they are kids with christian parents ... there is a vast difference. As a psychologist I've seen how the massive cognitive dissonance caused by indocrinating children into these absurd cults leads to psychopathology, drug abuse, depression and suicide. It is at best irresponsible and at worst potentially fatal child abuse.

Nov 22, 2008 - People have the right to believe what they want or need to believe..if you believe that theres no God..okay..IF you believe that there is a God..okay..there is nothing wrong with others who believe otherwise..

CaffineMan777 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - That makes no sense at all

lynchmobb2000 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - "if u all just believe in Christ and know hes your Savior u to can be saved" A Muslim told me that if I believe in Allah I can go to heaven. A Hindu told me that if I believe in Krisha I can go to heaven. How do I know which one of you is correct? I'm not asking what you believe, I'm asking how you know you're right?

CaffineMan777 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Faith, faith that i know that Jesus is my Savior and He will take me to heaven. Its really up to you to decide which one is correct i cant force u to belive in the right one but research them and find the one which you think is correct, hopefully you will chose Jesus but thats up to you not me. But i belive that Jesus is my Savior.

AFreeThinker999 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Dawkins doesnt attack anybody all he presents is an argument that shows there is no logical or reasoned way to believe in God, if you want to believe in God fine, but there is no reasoned truth to it. on a second note,atheism is a lack of faith, not a faith that god doesnt exist, it doesnt require faith to not believe in santa claus, same goes for god.

gibax Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Why did you pick Jesus rather than Allah?

chachee99 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - The question is not there is a need for God. Dawkin's never said that there was no need to believe in God. However, the problem is people using God to explain everything. Something that rules out lives. Something that is oppressed on us. Something that interfears with human progress and science.

Nov 24, 2008 - Lots of respect for Richard Dawkins! The world would be nothing without sceptic people like him!

paul5121 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - Because as far as scriptures go, Jesus is the son of God and Allah is God?

papke25 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - I'm an athiest and proud of it. Richard dawkins dispells the god myth with such wit and intelligence, that it almost makes me believe he's a kind of athiest prophet [if possible]. You christian - scumbags - should leave everyone alone, i'm fed up with your preaching, keep it to yourself........You evil bastards!

ForThePoets Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Oops, another cowboy just got exposed. Put in : " Cowboy Logan strikes back " to get the real close to truth experience

ssips720 Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - THERE IS NO "GOD". there, i said it. proud atheist right here...

Metalhead4569 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - "God is dead. And God remains dead because we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves. Who will wipe the blood from our hands, us the murderers of all murderers?" -Nietzsche How right he was (is).

Nov 29, 2008 - Dont forget the happy happy sing songs they make 4 year olds sing.

n0deity Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - Psalm 14:1 "The fool has said in his heart,There is no God. They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good." Who is the REAL bully in this argument?

Guyduc Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - I'm pretty sure that he didn't mean an actual killing of God. To Nietzsche, organized religion has killed the faith, but the faith can exist.

dooyeweerd Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - If you want to be an intelligent atheist try to remember how to spell it! Haha.

Metalhead4569 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - Well yeah, that's pretty obvious. He was likely referring to the "crisis of faith" that swept through Europe in the mid 1800s.

Xadreos Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - The idiot who wrote that is. And I assure you, Jesus didn't write that, his disciples did. And they were far more flawed than you or I. Anyone can quote anyone, give me a quote from christ himself that states that an open heart and an open mind will corrupt you to hell. I really would like to read something as contradicting as that.

n0deity Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - It's impossible for me to quote something I don't believe existed/exists.
