I remember when I was 14 or 15 years old I read the God delusion and I felt like religion's biggest enemy

>when you're a 70 year old man who never progressed beyond the intellectual capacity of a 12 year old boy

I remember being an arrogant little atheist shite and thinking I was such a smart lad for listening to this old geezer. I'd consider myself Voltaire's successor when I listened to him and Christopher Hitchens sniff each other's nihilistic farts on panel shows with cherrypicked opponents.

If he pisses off this many people he must be right.

the selfish gene is nice book
I read it while listen to Franz Schubert - Ave Maria For Violin

so comfy

i fail to see the connection with age

Define morality.
What is good and bad?
why it would be what the people or society perceives to be good and bad.
which again is the result of thousands of years of cultural pagan and christian norms.

Can you warp the norms and morality?
sure
should you?
absolutely not.

Should you believe in a higher deity that supervises you when no man is watching?
absolutely.

homosexuality, cuckholdry and sexual degeneracy are perceived as bad by society for a reason, because its bad for the individual partaking.

I love it when "liberals" use words such as; tolerance, because it implies something is wrong.

is that scooby?

The point was that people with normal cognitive function would be embarrassed to base their identity on atheism after the age of 12

but basing your identity on christianity or islam is okay ?

So... what retarded religion do you belong to?

I'm basing my western country society's identity on pagan and christian religious norms.

You may call policing yourself through belief, irrational, but there is nothing rational about seeking the societies interests before your own when there is less for you to gain.

Being a christian does not immediately mean you believe everything the bible says all the time, it means you are trying to believe.
Do what ye will, believe or not, but i'm convinced my life and other are better off if i commit myself to this belief.

And therefore i shall foster this belief, and i shall pray for this belief, and i shall dedicate one day every week, that i shall not be a burden to society but manifest its values to the best of my ability.

WE WUZ DAWKANGZ

> trying to believe
nigga how the fuck can you "try to believe" something, either you think it's true or you don't. If you are able to successfully "try to believe" something then you have a very weak grasp of reality

Believe =/= know.
Presented with facts that can disprove what you know, compels one to reconsider.
Religious belief has no roots in reality as the unnatural is naturally not natural.

>Religious belief has no roots in reality as the unnatural is naturally not natural.
If you admit that your belief has no roots in reality, then you don't really believe it. It sounds like you're trying to foster a mental illness in yourself.

Litrally every argument he has is as weak if not weaker than a common preacher.
Hes a an atheist preacher "no god cause atheism" seems to be his argument every time.

PREACH IT RICHARD, I BELIEVE IN ATHEISM!

Firstly go back to hell satan.
Second, your argument is that one cannot believe in what isn't manifested in the physical world.
So you cannot believe in abstract ideas?
No, what you mean i think is that, you cannot believe that which have no influence on you.
Well, all ideas have influence on you, and especially those of morality.
and as for the physical world, how about the world itself, that may be one influence, from something not of this world.

>Second, your argument is that one cannot believe in what isn't manifested in the physical world.
I didn't say "physical world," I said "reality". And no, you can't believe in something you don't think is part of reality.

Religitards are the ones with low IQ.

...

well, when i said religious belief has no roots in reality, really meant, god is not of this logic and world, but through religion the impact god has on our society, as a deity that sees us and our thoughts and actions from own personal standpoint when no one else can, has a profound impact on society.
Which is very well perceived.

I have a higher IQ than you do though lol

>god is not of this logic and world
then how are we even having a conversation about him?

>but through religion the impact god has on our society, as a deity that sees us and our thoughts and actions from own personal standpoint when no one else can, has a profound impact on society.
In other words he's not real but people who believe in him are real

...

None.

I would ask if you feel stupid now but you're probably not self-aware enough for that.

>Sven's country is collapsing around him but he still must preach the gospel of atheism

>when you're an oxford professor who wrote the most important book about evolution in the 20th century and some drooling inbred on a cartoon porn board tries to diss you

...

pic saved

I guess I just assumed you were religious because otherwise what you said would just be stupid.

Dawkins doesn't base his identity on atheism either. He's a biology professor and has written books both on atheism and evolution. You probably think he should just focus on evolution and never ever talk about religion, but it doesn't work that way in a world full of religitards attacking anyone who argues for evolutionary theory.

Congrats on your atheism, it's a shame that you're still a retard.

That's the face of a man who knows he has fooled people even more stupid that himself into believing he's intelligent

There is no defined good or bad, and every single person works in their self interest. Arguably, the only thing keeping people from doing a ton of victimless crimes are the flimsy imposed morals religious people have put on society. Also, why would I want to believe that somebody is watching me at all times? Is that not an invasion of my privacy? Why do you think that people shouldn't suffer the consequences if they choose to be homosexuals, cuckolds, and sexual deviants? Why not let nature take its course on degenerates instead of creating the problem of having people who can't get help out of fear or being arrested or industries run by criminals of much worse (actual) crimes?

Please tell me how my country is collapsing in any way that yours isn't.

It's unlikely that you do.

Yeah those creationists sure had an iron grip on power when the fedoras were sperging about how evil they were.

Do you just not have much of a connection to reality?

SPINELESS CUNT - FUCK DAWKINS

the difference between him and hitchens was that hitchens was a thug who knew he was a thug
hitchens is more dangerous because he just actually thinks he is right

It's very likely that I do actually hehe

What is your IQ?

And you'll notice im not the one defending an impotent old brainlet who actually thinks religion is an issue that needs to be fought

you first so I can say +1 to your 190

That's nothing, after feminists bullied him until he had a stroke the cowardly little worm came crawling back begging for forgiveness and saying the white Christian patriarchy was the real problem

You're the one who started talking about your IQ. If you're not going to reveal it, why even bring it up?

There are currently people with quite a bit of power who want to have prayer in schools, and to teach creationism.

I know you want to sit back and just enjoy the fact that nobody is burning you at the stake, but there are still battles to be fought here. Someone has to roll up their sleeves, put their fedora on, go out and fight with these religious tards, even in the current year.

If you don't like it then don't watch.

Thanks for confirming you're below average lel

To be fair, smart people can be religious too. Smart people can usually weave a story that justifies things they came to believe for non-smart reasons.

Fear is why we think and not know; Faith is why we believe and not know.

Fear and faith are degeneracy.

Fedora thread?

>le hat joke

wow such a fresh meme, not stale at all

russian bias

>There are currently people with quite a bit of power who want to have prayer in schools, and to teach creationism.
So? Is this really the end of the world? You goyim need to open your eyes for the much bigger problems.

Guys guys the guy got molested by his priest(true story) and now he hates religion. leave him alone.

Nice appeal to authority. you righteous intellectual *tips fedora*

So now we hate on people just because they sometimes work on problems other than the literal worst problems in the world?

You know nothing about American politics if you seriously believe there will be a required Christian prayer in schools. This is obvious buzzfeed fearmongering. Do you also believe the alt-right wants to gas 6 million jews?

>has public lectures and shows
>tells the audience what they believe is all wrong
>watch them descend into existential crisis and despair
>apart from that it's not even true
>has no compassion and lacks empathy because he's too autistic to care about his "followers"
>muh science
>false analogies galore

yeah, real classy guy.
consider it a blessing that this literal deceiver almost lost his voice due to his minor stroke.
atheist cucks literally btfo.

Yeah there won't be prayer in school because "fedoras" fight against it and win every time.

Yeah sure along with the 6 million genders and LGBT+!@ acceptance you will be required to sing a catholic mass at school.

>intellectual capacity of a 12 year old boy

That's funny coming from a grown man that still believe in angels and demons.

>what is seperation of church and state

This

>false analogies galore
yeah this one is on point. they guy has personal issues with religion (like most atheists). Pic related(by a priest)

Great source btw.

>every argument he has is as weak

You completely failed to refute one word he ever said. Typical

>Litrally

As opposed to metaphorically?

>highly developed countries are more intelligent
Really gets the cake baking

This

>him

the amount of sky daddy lovers in this thread is too damn high

...

>he was sexually molested, therefore god

wew lads

We take fedoras over mudslimes any time, don't you ever forget that

For a no nothing fedora tipper he sure triggers you christcucks

He should leave ""scientific"" atheism and concentrate on biology. "The God Delusion" is overrated garbage.

I'm still not sure how not believing in a particular christian branch is any different than not believing in the other innumerable religions of the world or even the other branches from Christianity.

Your simplemindedness has been noted.

Both ot these

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM, R.D!

Daily reminder that Sup Forums is an atheist board we have took countless of pools and they all have showed that atheists are mayority.

So you think that nothing x nothing=God?

rare
Religion is first and foremost about morals and code of conduct.
We cannot know what is beyond this world, for we are limited by the very world we live in.
God, doesn't seem to want to be found, you think you'll find him by looking harder?
Is it then meaningless to ponder upon what lies beyond our existence?
Or is it meaningless not to?

...

dawkins and whole atheism is the biggest help in brainwashing youth by the left.

Underrated

as most democratic polls say - majorities are dumber and usually wrong.

Even christian cartoons are stupid. Notice that the kid completely failed to answer the question. If you’re trying to make atheists look bad, don't use an argument that religious people have completely failed to refute.

As for the kid's non answer, he was made by his parents. Using his bad analogy, that means Yahweh has a mommy and daddy.

Of all the atheist gasbags in the world, Dawkins is honestly the only one I feel sorry for. It's not even because I like him. It's not even because all my memes tell me his soul is likely condemned.

It's because he's obviously smart enough to know better. He knows damn well memes are real life. We couldn't even know what that statement means without him.

It's sad really. A great man, cucked by a God who doesn't even exist.

The funny thing is, if people just look deeper into religion they would find out that it's factually correct. Not everything, but there are patterns, things that can also be explained through science.

Just because our knowledge is limited, doesn't mean they don't possess the answers to something greater. I learned this going through many cultures and religions.

The problem is your only argument is that you need religion to fight degeneracy (which is only bad because you say so). You always forget the most essential part of adhering to a religion - faith. I do not believe in God. I need a proof that Christianity or any other religion will never be able to provide for obvious reasons.
Now imagine that there are no shitskins in white countries, so you don't have to worry about muh white birth rates. How exactly does degeneracy harm your society?
