MyBecause Selected Video

History shows that man has made many gods and godesses.God making appears to be part of the human psyche.And man has been prolific in exercising this trait. All recorded civilisations appear to have created a god or gods.In this series of videos I seek to find out why this is.I am grateful to Andy Thomson for giving me the opportunity of discussing this issue (and his book).J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, is a Trustee of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science and a staff psychiatrist for Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Virginia Student Health Center, as well as the University of Virginia's Institute for Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy. Thomson also has his own private practice, and is a forensic psychiatrist for Region Ten Community Services.He is also the author of "Why we believe in god(s)", which can be purchased from: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-We... also had a number of lectures available to view on youtube, including "Why we believe in god(s)". "Why we believe in god(s)" : http://richarddawkins.net/vide... - from heaven of nature?" http://richarddawkins.net/vide... previous video "My lasy prayer - why religion does not scour" is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... video of the religious map of the world came from here: http://www.mapsofwar.com/ind/h...

Reason being, is that in some of the more religious parts of America, you could be personally attacked if you made a show like that. It is a very sad fact about the world we live in today.

The amount of bliss derived from a belief has no bearing whatsoever on its veracity. Wake up, bro. People on heroin will tell you its blissful as well.

DOn't forget the best part, denying the 'holy spirit' is the only unforgivable sin. I love to ask Christians what the holy spirit is, then I pause and wait for them to say, "Well, there's the father, the son and the holy spirit". Press them a bit more, and they will tell you its the third part of the god trinity before getting mad or changing the subject. This is as far as they have thought this through.

So if I "ask for the Holy Spirit" and it doesn't come to me... what then? 38 years and no Holy Spirit, guess I'm screwed and taking a one-way trip to Hell? Pfffft, tell me another. You might want to check your certainty at the door when telling me I can't have a well-informed, valid argument when I have every valid argument and religion has none. God? Show me. Holy Spirit? Show me. Jesus? No evidence he existed, only hearsay accounts decades, almost a century, after his time. o.Onon est deus

Hosted by Bill Maher, it was indeed informative as well as funny, hilarious when he went to the 'Jesus' museum and filled in the 'Jesus' dude that he was based on an earlier myth... bet that hurt. :Pnon est deus

Your conclusions are useless, first read the Gospel REFRAINING from sin,asking for the HOLY SPIRIT throughout.. then when you finish if nothing has happened then you can have a well informed valid argument. You have no idea how blissful knowing Jesus is. Also a lot of discipline but its worth it. God revealed and all you gotta do is keep reading refraining from evil a while? Good deal if you ask me.

Fucking troll. I can almost picturing you tra-la-laing through a field of dead children singing the praises of your loving imaginary tyrant.

Theism is simply not accepting you're an animal. I would imagine most theists become atheists when taking a shit, they don't want God watching, so he's not.
