A fantastic lecture by Christopher Hitchens about how atheism (and anti-theism) is not only a healthy belief system but a moral necessity. He talks about the very earthly nature of religion, the dangerous effect it is having on our world and the need for people to think for themselves.Have a drink and get comfortable because Hitchens is going to explain it all to you just brilliantly!Sewanee University, February 23, 2004

Lastly, I do not see how you cement kindness as solely origination from religion. In Islamic nations, you can be beheaded for being a homosexual, an atheist, or simply going against the govt. In America, you are discriminated against because your lifestyle or beliefs do not conform to the teachings of a book written by men thousands of years in the past when natural phenomenas were attributed to gods. This, is what you call human kindness; not to mention the history of oppression by religion.

A second point: you seem to be stating that without religion there is no human kindness; which is absolutely backwards thinking and illogical. One can be an atheist and also be kind and loving. One can be logical and also be forgiving.

There is a difference between unconditional kind support and a limited supportive community. Religion supports the latter. The hypocrisy that is Christianity hides behind its deceitful words of tolerance and love while practicing the absolute opposite; creating intolerance and hate; much like all mainstream religions do on a global scale.

Yea, because Christian charaties are just bringing the countries down around our ears - whatever your beliefs, logical reasoning cannot replace human kindness.

Like what exactly? Sure, Jesus supposedly cured a blind man's blindness, but so can our doctors today. When you are sick and you go to a doctor, and you follow the doctor's words and are cured, it is not logical and not reasonable to attribute this event to a god. So stop saying that everything is in the name of Jesus and stop parading to be a logical, rational thinking person, because you're just a brainwashed, knuckle-headed dolt who can't think for him/herself. In the name of Jesus, piss off!

I wouldn't say atheists are superior... just simply logic and reason is much better for society than blind faith and illogical fallacious reasoning.

Atheists are superior.

AGREED! Why these morons worship a GOD that made people far from perfect and then blames us for his mistake is crazy. Only sheep need a shepherd. religionfactreport dotcom

What babble. Not a single magical religious "prophecy" ever gets fulfilled, including the main Christian one - that the Jesus character was going to return to Earth (from the clouds where Yahweh lives) in the lifetime of people alive when he was.End of story. No rationalising, no evading, no claiming that the quote is "out of context". That's what the Jesus character claimed, that's what the story writers wrote down. It's all bullsh*t.

christ and word(bible) are proved by-1000s of biblical prophecies fulfilled,by more than 300 messianic prophesies fulfilled by jesus&1000s of miracles that happen in the name of jesus everyday around the world.if u really believe in science and logical reasoning u will accept jesus as messiah.
