Re: The One and Only Climate Change thread...
I've actually met a couple climatologists and they aren't fans of Al Gore(I don't think many are, he makes some serious stupid mistakes in his video), so the AGW religion doesn't work like you think it does.
"How Evil Works" by David Kupelian, I can't stand any of the authors you bring up. David Kupelian is really similar to an apocalyptic end-time religious wacko, claiming that America is being destroyed just because the right didn't win, he needs to calm down. fearing everything and everyone who is different from who he is.
I wouldn't get your facts from someone like David Kupelian, who believes America was founded on core judeo-Christian values, nothing could be father from the truth. He might not realize this but the party of NO(Republicans) is really one of the worse parties in existence right now, they actually rejected health care for 9/11 first responders, leftists are the least of America's worries. He is right about one thing the rise of Atheism would shock previous generations because the whole world was basically brainwashed by their religion. He also seems to be a supporter of ID, I would distance myself from such persons. He also seems to have some problems with homosexuals, he seems to be the average member of the Christian-right(which is not a good thing).
The Good Atheist on David Kupelian, the world daily news is just as bad if not worse then fox news.
"Maybe our leaders would be more hesitant to go to war, if they didn't believe their soldiers went to heaven"- can't remember
Telling me to get an education is actually quite similar to saying, go be a liberal(which you obviously don't want to happen), because liberals are on average more educated then their conservative counterparts, don't worry about my education I plan to become a university professor.
Satoshi Kanazawa, Ph.D: That is the conclusion of my latest study because being liberal is evolutionarily novel. In a sense, humans are designed to be conservative and it’s unnatural for humans to be liberal, being concerned about the welfare of millions of genetically unrelated other people. So more intelligent people are more likely to acquire unnatural preferences and values and being a liberal is one of them and as a result more intelligent people tend to be more liberal than less intelligent people.
His studies have also found that approximately 90% of scientists identify themselves as liberals.
I plan to take a philosophy course in university, plus I already watch a lot pf lectures from Philosopher Dan C. Dennett as well as many other university professors.
You have to stop referring to atheism as a religion/belief system, it isn't. There is no dogma, no superstition, atheists in general are freethinkers, secular humanists, and rationalists, logical empiricists, existentialists, skeptics, nihilists, all different kinds. Calling Atheism a belief system/religion is the same as calling bald a hair colour, or black(which is defined by physicists as the complete absence of colour) a colour. Some atheists don't even believe in evolution and are not scientifically informed.
Hitler would have still killed millions(his Christian upbringing was the catalyst for the holocaust, the Roman Catholic church had an anti-Semitic doctrine until the mid 1960s, but even if that was not his upbringing he would have used a possibly different scapegoat to obtain more power) no matter what religion he was, Stalin would have still killed millions no matter what religion he was, Mao would have killed millions no matter what religion he was(he was a Taoist).
So according to you the only reason these murderers killed was their atheism(or atleast it enabled them to do that), I go to a religious school currently, and even they don't teach that(which I'd assume they would because of the superiority of religious beliefs over atheism, apparently). I had a history course last year about WW2 and atheism was never brought up as one of the causes of WW2 or the holocaust.
Also what about WW1, a lot of people died in that war and i don't think any of the leaders were non-religious(or atleast most of them were religious) so what allowed them to kill if it wasn't atheism? I don't know what happened but you have obtained some really bad idea from some fundamentalists(probably David Kupelian) to actually believe some of this stuff that makes absolutely no sense. Atheists are not bound to any common ideology or belief contrary to Bill O'reilly and Ann Coulter would have you believe.
Well most Christians make Stalin out to be this atheist who just wants to destroy religious people for the sake of destroying religion, but that obviously wasn't true because he taught his own daughter about Christ. He wanted to get rid of religion for power reasons not atheistic ones.
Humans might not be built that way, but we can adapt to changes(I thought you already believed this).
Hero worshipping follower? I plan to surpass Dawkins, and become a voice of atheism. I want to watch religion vanish, as scientific discovery advances further and further. Your the one who is following lunatics, such as David Kupelian...what a nutcase(How can you take him seriously? It's similar to taking Ben Stein seriously).
I was talking about the ACTS themselves(and what made them do it in the first place) not the aftermath(the sheltering and lying for example) you are talking about something completely different. But hopefully Dawkins and Hitchens succeed in arresting the Pope(Hitchens might be dead before that happens though).
You're right it isn't controversial at all if you completely ignore the other side of the argument...good job.
I still disagree with you, Hitler had quotes both ways, Stalin taught his own daughter about Christ, Mao Zedong was a Taoist, nothing really hard hitting for either side.
Atheists are misguided? The Religious are the ones who believe in a fairy-tale. Religion is a crutch for man-kind for those who are so afraid of the unknown they make up any story imaginable to try to answer questions and then will never let these answers be questioned.
"Philosophy is a question that may never be answered, Religion is an answer that may never be questioned".-not sure
You do realize the side most opposed to AGW is the religious fundamentalists, Vlad? Because God's perfect world can't be effected by human activities...complete garbage, always remember that's the side you are on.
