The Christian Priest Who Is Almost an Atheist! 

he has the patience of a man up against intolerance - a level i could not reach

Dawkins is an Aries. This is said to be the most naive and simplistic sign. The reason why this applies to him is because he chose a target that is impossible to attain. I understand he wants to bring religion down because it causes wars. I too saw it that way 20 years ago. But if you check Google Trends for the search word 'God', you will see it has risen steadily in that time. In other words, Dawkins has made not the slightest difference. He should rather have spent his time trying to get religions to accept and be at peace with one another. I feel very sorry for him as he has failed dismally.

"Sir Dawkins" Was he knighted or something?

The most I’ve seen him. He obviously respects and enjoys engaging Holloway.

I have completely and utterly dismantled every one of Dawkins fallacious arguments, i have torn down all his arguments one by one and in their place erected my own much larger more powerful arguments. This is why the man has ducked me for a formal debate for years now he knows he has no refutation of my arguments.

Exactly ! Some of the best that human mind and souls can produce !

That’s proper funny 😅

Another day in paradise.

he made mostly crap also

Jesus he loves me, and he knows im right!

These days it's just survival..for the evangelists and prophets its business..

According to atheist religion, Why is genocide not evil? Should we ask mao zedong?

​@@doyoufeel...thatyoulackcri6760 genocide is, and no religion needs to tell us that. Bad apples both sides of the theistic debates/viewpoints lol

Yep you got the right words ! "a delight to listen to"

Christians say Jesus is God, then they say, God was born from marry, then they say God walked, talked, sleeped, eat, was killed. Then, they say say God Jesus died... Muslims: Allah or God is one, creator, Almighty. HE not sleeps, eats, walks, dies etc. HE is not born to any one, nor Is associated with any partner. No son, no father. HE gives us life & death. HE creates any thing from any thing. HE creates life from non-living. HE created Prophet Jesus from Marys womb without any male intervention. HE is the supreme creator. Jesus Is prophet of Allah or God, Almighty like other prophets. Jesus or Isa or Isaiah son of Mary is alive and will come back not once again as prophet and will die & buried too like others. The last Prophet was Prophet Mohammed pubh with the last Message Quran. Jews reject the Prophet to sent among non-jews, they think they are superior so are in ego. Iblees shaitan because of ego and let failed to followed orders of Allah or GOD to prostate before Adam in the beginning. So, Shaitan was expelled from heaven with curses because of ego of superiority said, "I have been created from fire and Adam with soil". Jews too killed or crucified messengers or prophets of Allah. Christians should know not only Isa son Mary was created without father but Adam, Gabriel, Angles too were created without parents. More over see the power of Allah, EVa a female, mother of humanity was created from Adam (a male). Think over it, Allah has the power to do anything beyond our imagination.

That’s literally what Christ taught

​@@jacksonelmore6227 Christ taught that faith is worthless, since no one can move mountains by their obedience to orders. We know them by their works: Training to know Jesus Christ by indoctrinating children with fantasyland vocabulary. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. So let's get you literate. Galatians 13:3 "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us." Jesus Christ says faith is worthless as a mustard seed, when it comes to telling mountains to move, with expectations of obedience. More nonsense comes from those of God & spirit, having given us Moses: World's worst navigator, making progress with one foot in The Garden of Eden. Jesus comes again because he failed the first time. Why are Jews not buying the New wine of Jesus Christ being put in the old Jew wineskin by God. Religious belief is great, especially when you control what children are taught. Matthew 19:14 KJV: But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. God made Mormons so Christians would know how Jews feel? God & Faith have a perfect record of doing nothing, so we have the sayings, God helps those helping themselves & nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital. It is by God & Faith, The only sign given is that of Jonah. Jonah 1:15-17 KJV So they took up Jonah (he offered to help) and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice (perhaps his family & friends, or a goat, who's to know?) unto the LORD, and made vows. It Is by faith Jonah was picked up and tossed overboard, being mindless, he asked for it. What audacity, what gall, to suppose a deity, so unworthy, theologians & sacred text exist? Are we all to give a pass to this suggestion? It is by faith in God we have Jonah. It is by faith in God we forget Moses was the world's worst navigator, leading as if travel were done with one foot in The Garden of Eden? We are now mocked: Galatians 13:3 "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us." Now, we must be born again: nonsense. At least there are not circumcision shops in town. The Jews have not bought Jesus Christ in 2000 years because god & Jesus are both fictions. Luke 11:29-36 "As the crowds increased", Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. The Joke is having a miracle in every chapter. The link is to Moses, who we know as the worst navigator in the world, with one foot in The Garden of Eden. Gal 3:13 It is by faith in an incompetent deity, we have scripture & prophets outside of fiction. The Book of Jonah 11 Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. 12 He said to them, "Take me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will quite down for you; for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you." Rsv It is by faith Jonah was picked up and tossed overboard, being mindless, he asked for it. Men have always known God was fake, She would have no need for sleep. My sheep hear My voice being the _slavery_ of sheep. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" Men have always known God was fake, She would have no need for sleep. My sheep hear My voice being the _slavery_ of sheep. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" Now we watch the death of all, ourselves now smitten, for the success of our _state_ of gall. "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all" Galatians 3:13 King James Version 13 John 10 Quote from Emperor Julian the Apostate mid 300s AD… "Let no one, therefore, deceive us by words, nor disturb us with respect to providential interference. For as to the prophets of the Jews, who reproach us with things of this kind, what will they say of their own temple, which has been THRICE destroyed, but has not been since, even to the present time, rebuilt? I do not, however, say this as reproaching them; for I have thought of rebuilding it, after so long a period, in honor of the divinity who is invoked in it.” The third temple prophecy was fulfilled centuries ago! This recent temple rebuild prophecy is a huge deception! See videos: New research expands on J Atwill's discovery that the story of Jesus is a parody of Emperor' Titus' victories. Paul the Apostle: Liar and Conman | James Valliant, Rabbi Tovia Singer Psalm 22:16 Dead Sea Scrolls and some manuscripts of the Masoretic Text, Septuagint and Syriac; most manuscripts of the Masoretic Text me, / like a lion This verse, which is Psalm 22:17 in the Hebrew verse numbering, reads in most versions of the Masoretic Text as: כארי ידי ורגלי, which may be read literally as "like a lion my hands and my feet". Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce[b] my hands and my feet.

Materialism and imperialism have led people to destruction in the last century. It is not possible to be happy with material gain alone. Human nature, by nature, exists with peace, family ties, love, respect, faith and cooperation. Atheism drags people into emptiness, and the thought of disappearing after death makes people sad. People are filled with the feeling of eternal existence. A believer will attain eternal heaven in return for his good deeds.💗💞💗

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@brightroarttttbbbbthat’s a lot of talk. You can’t blame Atheism for imperialism, that’s ridiculous. Imperialism was committed by deeply religious countries. But BTW, it’s irrelevant to what is true and real. Also, you leap from that to implying that just means material gain. A false claim. Illogical and dirty. Family, love, and everything you list are physical things, you don’t need to make up or buy myths to have love, that’s absurd. This petty worry that without delusion we would all be sad, is juvenile. Atheism isnt Nihilism, it’s actually a joyful revelation that all the guilt, threats and horrors taught by religion are false. Some people think the best way to deal with things is not by denial, but by understanding. Since everything does die, maybe if we weren’t lied to from birth, the realization of death wouldn’t come as such a shock. And seriously, doesn’t eternal existence in heaven sound suspiciously childish?

@@brightroarttttbbbb It's a gift not a reward. Thankfully for who has 'good deeds' enough to 'deserve' heaven?

@@brightroarttttbbbb yet people cannot pretend to believe what they do not. But we can still envy and admire the wholesome faith of good people.✌🏻🙏

​@brightroarttttbbbb If faith didn't do exactly what you describe of atheism, then religious wars and suicide bombers wouldn't exist either. The added "faith" makes their actions more dangerous tho, murderous rather than suicidal. All because they can't make others believe what they themselves believe. Even though they themselves are also atheist to all gods except one lol.

@@brightroarttttbbbb l don't agree that atheism "drags people into emptiness" nor does it exclude peace, family ties, respect etc. It just means that when your time is up that is it. It is over.

Here is the problem with Richard Dawkins and all that follow him (followers of scientism, not science, scientism as a bias): 1) Science needs to begin to explore the possibility of life outside of earth of any form, shape, or dimension. This would require an inquiring, open mind (that's what scientific inquiry is btw) 2) That would require people to stop dismissing every single idea just because they don't have an immediate proof. If an immediate proof would be a requirement then theory could not exist. Which is literally 100% of all explanations for the origins of the universe. 3) Human experience should be included as a phenomenon that requires attention. Rather than dismissing people experiences, we need to look into them more intensely and with all scientific rigor. 4) Science would need an additional discipline to replace what we call "paranormal" for "transcendental science", a science that looks beyond the natural biological processes. Until we can open our eyes and look for the possibility of life outside the earth and beyond what we currently define as death, we won't find a viable solution for our most imminent problem. It is ridiculous for people like these scientists to IGNORE humanity's biggest problem simply because they want to bully religious people. WAKE UP PEOPLE. JOIN THE REAL SCIENCE OF MAKING SCIENCE. TRUE INQUIRY HAS NO LIMITS.

Guy, probably going through a crisis in his own life meets some people who sell him one of many flavours of an imaginary sky genie & subsequently did some good?.... So what?

@@pup1008 You clearly never heard him or you would have never made such a cheap silly comment. At least both Richards are very intelligent men. However there are also Christians who have found a living Jesus who has truly changed their lives. Truly. The man who devoted his life to giving new lives to many prisoners after he had had his life changed by Christ is a man I can admire. He was never sold anything remotely to do with sky genies or fairies at the bottom of some garden (typical Dawkins language, so you have learned this much from your hero!) The Jesus I met came to me as I was reading Luke's gospel specifically to show up his wrong attitudes and instead he met me in every page I read. He was and is the Truth behind all our lives and He would live in yours if you would ask Him and start to seriously enquire in His Word. His Love be with you.

@@WPFinlay But again you are crediting a totally random event on one of many competing & conflicting, geographically and culturally ordained gods? Do you think that atheists are incapable of doing good? Do you know Jesus wasn't even to be considered as the "son of god" until the third century? I also recommend you objectively research how the bible is purloined from far earlier pagan mythology. I didn't know Dawkins had made a similar analogy in reference to _"sky genies & fairies"_ but feel immensely proud that my mind was working at the level of Dawkins if even for just a few words!

Communism, as well as its racist and sexist avatar of wokism, are irrational, dogmatic, violence oriented and based on faith rather than science ideologies. Atheist In Name Only IMHO. Indeed I imagine RD dislikes all irrational ideologies including religions stricto sensu. Unfortunately their common underlying principles seem ingrained in our DNA.

Ecology has become less of a science and more of a religion in many places. Creationism is an awful tumour grown in the United States. It gradually stifles clear thought.

_why people follow illogical belief systems_ That's easy to answer: they genuinely believe what they believe, and it is perfectly logical to them. There's nothing to discuss.

And therefore religious people outnumber the non religious. And this is what then happens: Atheists slaughter christians, islame takes over and slaughter the atheists. Looks like pdf file atheists have no clue what they're doing.

Isn’t analyzing the results of perception of fundamental reality from a presupposition of an imaginary circumstance a double checking when our full instinctual opinion and all of our cognitive processes be applied to the object of our opinion. Isn’t the third perspective causing an “optical illusion” type of theory?

Yep, over the years we've come up with hundreds of thousands & still do! The Christian delusion came to the forefront through the patronage of a Roman emperor witnessing a bridge collapsing during a battle in the Roman civil wars. Jesus wasn't even written into scripture as the "son of god" until the 3rd. century!

As a fellow *Brit* Newton was from an ignorant time when practically *EVERYBODY* in the UK believed in the Christian flavour of geographically and culturally ordained god! Look what the church did in jailing & torturing *Galileo* for *CORRECTLY* stating the celestial procession. The church also advised *Columbus* not to attempt his voyage in case he fell off the edge of the Earth! A lot of Middle Eastern countries were producing some amazing thinkers, particularly in mathematics, algebra is Arabic. All this came to an abrupt halt when Islam became the dominant social force in these countries & people *HAD* to buy into ridiculous religious axioms under pain of death! Do you know that millions of Muslims believe that the prophet Mohammed flew to the Moon on a winged horse to cut it in two with a sword to make a new Moon & the Earth? They hold that nonsense with the same credibility & authenticity as Christians hold their ridiculous 6700 year old Earths & everything alive today ascending from what came off a boat 4500 years ago! 😂 Religion has nothing to be proud of when it comes to the advancements of man, particularly the Christians who follow a book that celebrates & instructs on slavery & homophobia! At least the Catholic church has _finally_ come onboard with Evolution!

You should get them to read The God Delusion instead.

@@veronicaroy1766 I also share my list of Neil deGrasse Tyson's wrong claims which include his false histories attacking religion.

What a ghastly idea 🤣

Otherwise known as "give me one miracle and I'll explain life".

And all this happened by "pure chance"? We have observable evidence for ONE fine-tuned universe; the odds of that happening by chance are 1:10^124 ( Penrose).

@@briansmith3791 As we have only one example of a universe. How can you make odds? It might be that there could be no other result than it had to happen the way it did. Saying magic did it, is the least likely way our universe Came into being. First, you have to prove the supernatural. So far, nobody has. 🙂

@@Steve-Cross I didn't make those odds, Penrose did. "The Big Bang did not come from Nothing, it came from a highly, highly ordered state, with incredibly complex geometry, 1:10^124.....that is an observable fact".

And then it becomes very embarrassing when pdf file atheists make the claim of absolute truth that men can menstruate and give birth while nowhere in history has this been true.
