@LickMyBabyBack Now they sent it to the wrong addresse.
@marcuelcajon good for you! Did you get your member card and tote bag yet?
You are either atheist or “an Atheist”. If atheist, you live a normal life. If “an Atheist”, you think what you were told to think, like a cult, preach what you believe, try to lure people into your ways, write pathetic angry condescending words, create web sites and video channels dedicated to the anti-god club, and worship people who write books… hmm.. what does that sound like? I’m atheist. You are a fucking moron if you subscribe bullshit channel. Looping Ricky as part of your club? eh
finally a God we can all believe in!!
@turquatto @dodopandemic The real problem with Pascal’s Wager is that it is a way to hedge your bet. Any god with omniscience would see right through your professed belief and know the roots of it lie in hedging.
It’s a lousy argument for many reasons, and it’s my understanding that it was a bit tongue-in-cheek when proposed.
@esiosan its a joke,dude.its funny regardless of religion or not
@baph777 Coughlan’s an asshole and by no means a role model… I agree that there is no god. I’ve been an atheist for most of my life. With people like him backing us up, it’s no wonder we’re losing ground.
@baph777 It is true that certain religions, lacking a connection with the principles of revelation, have been influenced in their appearance and growth by the social environment and similar factors. However, it is illogical to ascribe the foundation of all faiths and religious tendencies to material or economic circumstances and demands, to fear of the terrifying forces of nature, to ignorance or to considerations rejected by science.
@1tabligh
Well most people adhere to their religions because the god of their religion is seen as justifying their own petty sentiments and biases. See the prejudice many Fundamentalists have towards gays.
I am an Atheist and I love it.
Western intellectuals were aware only of the superstitious aspect of false religion and how the established dogmas of religion lacked all logical basis, so they had no hesitation in condemning religion as such to be baseless. Their judgment was based on their discouraging experiences with their own religion, and it could not fail, then, to be hasty, unrealistic, irrational and illogical.
@baph777 Without doubt, one of the factors in the emergence of anti-religious ideas and a phalanx of deniers of God, has been the false teachings, the inadequacies and the intellectual perversions of the followers of some religions. The peculiarities and separate characteristics of each religion must, therefore, be individually examined when studying the reasons that have led men to adhere to that religion.
Cracks me up everytime I hear this!
Fucking lol
AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH
Haha, Ricky Gervais is amazing.
@PyRexext
Yeah, and if we as Atheists don’t share the very much verifiable truth that based on all known data that can be tested your Bible is bullshit, then we Atheists aren’t doing our job. To quote Coughlan616 here on youtube, “May God be less.”
I almost fell off my chair laughing so hard. Thank you to God, for making me an atheist! HAHAAAAAA I bet all the religious nuts were like O.o
@TheMightyAC — That is an illogical conclusion to ANY true Christian. We are not OFFENDED by your dis-belief. I believe in your free choice, however if we do not share our faith and hope, then we are not doing our job as loving brothers and sisters on this Earth.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.
I bet the people that down voted this are those that are threatened by the very existence of atheists. “Oh shit! They exist, that must mean someone thinks we’re wrong! I can’t imagine such a thing.” *face palm*
@turquatto I know tons if christfuckers who say exactly what are you quoting. The problem is that you can interpret nonsense of goat shepher anyway you like. The is no proof that any interpretation is better than other. That is the reason why religion is nonsense. I can worship any kind of imaginary gods, cars, carrots. Prove me wrong! What is that you dont get? It is so simple. Religion bears no efficient knowledge about world.
LOL. don’ you love all the “Christians” commenting that he’s so mean-spirited … Followed closely by every possible personal insult. Classic. Go Ricky!!
@turquatto Oh right, I forgot rule number one, “don’t think for yourself”, of course it’s the clerics job to conveniently interpret the book for the masses. “Where did you learn that?” That sounds like I’m not allowed to form an opinion on my own. That’s really sad. “Show me proof” Great! that’s what you should tell them! Read the damn book and make your own conclusions, that’s your proof.
Great job RG. Why would stating one’s lack of belief in anything be offensive to believers? We need to burst the bubble that society has placed around religion to protect it from discussion or criticism. Let’s start weeding out bad ideas regardless of their source.
@turquatto Exactly, the claim always precedes the denial. What are you contesting then?
Claim: I own a ferarri. Response: I don’t believe you own a ferarri. I do not deny the existence of a ferarri, merely the claim that you own one. The response is in no way an admittance of believe, how can it be? Liguistically it is impossible, logically it is unsound. But I respect the way you can jump through semantical hoops to make denial mean exactly the opposite of what it does.
