You’re a joke. How do you know he hasn’t read it and why just the New Testament? There’s alot before that like god killing first borns and ordering parents to kill disobeying children. You sure as haven’t even tried to prove them wrong, you just say they’re wrong like some sort of wizard talking something into existence. Cenk has lead the most popular online news channel and has earned his seat on MSNBC. Plenty of people tune in. Go be stupid somewhere else.

This is like the only thing you christians have to say. It’s lazy and pathetic. Both of these guys have read the bible and many atheists and agnostics (non-christian in general) have read the bible. Who doesn’t have a clue about christianity and catholicism? It shoves it’s crap in people’s faces all the time and you can read what it’s about any time.

I’ve read the Bible, and it led me out of the religion. Why do you think reading the Bible would somehow be beneficial. And from what I can understand from what at least Michael Shermer is saying, he’s read the Bible too.

Take a look at the …
Take a look at the reviews for the book Randi’s Prize. And read it too. Also check the Bruno Groening film trailers and decide if placebo can account for how fast the witnesses were healed. And see the film ‘Day Before Disclosure’, and ‘UFOs Are Real’ from 1979. Also a film called Reincarnation Regression, especially the second and fourth cases in it. Hang on, one more thing: NASA’s STS-80 footage.

What’s “absolute sh-t” about the New Testament?

It doesn’t take much to recognise that the new testament is absolute shit. I’ve read the Bible and so am privy to the immense amount of contradictions in there. Flood youtube? Flood? Don’t like them, unsubscribe. Though you’re right, if they had’ve read the bible then maybe they’d be a little more OUTRAGED at how up it is.

Really? TYT’s don’t flood youtube with their videos? You think these guys have read the bible? Listen to them! Neither one have a clue about Christianity or Catholicism.. Please…. They are foolish political hacks…

Two intellectuals? One hosts a show that needs to flood Youtube with videos because no one actually tunes into his show and the other hasn’t even read the New Testament which he insults…

Michael Shermer is skeptical, thoughtful, tolerant, soft-spoken, humble, and charming. A good role model if there ever was one!

Your name and comments are puzzling…OK, I am just kidding. It is very clear you simple don’t KNOW what you are talking about. Muslims are just more adherent to ORIGINAL scriptural VIRUS…

Mark 7:9-10
And he said to them: “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! 10 For Moses said, “Honor your father and your mother, and, anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.” Also in Exodus 21:17; Lev. 20:9

I don’t see how it is possible for Richard Dawkins to have “lost a debate”, unless some sort of new information has been brought to the table that contradicts basically all science that has been conducted for the last 150 years. If you are talking about his recent interview Alister Mcgrath, Dawkins absolutely mopped the floor with him. I’m not sure what acedotal story you have heard about Dawkins and others abandoning their atheism, but you had better check your facts.

I highly suggest that you meditate. Meditate means removing all your beleifs, thoughts ect. It means reducing your brain activity, to that of an infant, and then re-learning everything. Consequently, this allows your mind great flexibility and creativity… One who meditates can be a scientist, but a scientist cannot meditate, as meditation requires that you stop playing “The Scientist”.. check this.. watch?v=-YQArPuu7Mc

Very good point! If …
Very good point! If you read books by Patanjali, others, and if you really study this stuff, you find that there is a big deal made about “not seeking the fruits of ones actions”, Not to feel proud or ashamed. To do things without selfish intent(materially or emotionally). Doing it because you understand thats what needs to happen… The idea is, if one behaves acausaly, without cause, one takes on the properties of acausal sub-particles, and can transcend time/space/walls

Your assumtion that …
Your assumtion that reality is indenpendant of existence, is not a fact you understand…This is called materialism/positivism…Saying that reality is independant of our existence, is unproveable dogma, that is nessecary to support a mechanical view of reality.

It is a question of methods. See, all that comes out of science news, give me more proof of God. All attempts to undermine my knowledge give me proof. All arguments strengthen mine.

jack rowet:

Yes, what I am …
Yes, what I am saying is your statement “Spontaneous limbs ect.” seems to be saying “I have no idea, and I dont intend on finding out, or even stating a hypothesis.”

So the problem is, using so called “facts” to explain the “unexplainable” which is only unexplainable do to being constrained by certain “facts”… So making up and explanation, and testing it, is how all discoveries are made

Shock of God is a …
Shock of God is a bigot and a liar. So you are just taking his word for it? Just like that? No fact checking whatsoever? None? Shock of God is not a good person to trust in terms of his views on those he opposes. Richard Dawkins has been more intellectually honest then most of his opponents in debates. You are saying that if he converts, no one will know about it, but somehow Shock of God knows. Because this is the internet. You tell one side, every side knows.

That’s a lie. His main site: richarddawkinsdotnet makes no mention in its news feed of Richard having a debate recently and abandoning his education by being convinced by words alone of something he strongly believes to be false. Even if he did convert, most Atheists would simply be saddened that Richard lost his intellectual capacity. You do know I’m fact checking what you say right? Why bother telling me this unless you are attempting to deceive me into abandoning my stance?
