On Saturday, March 8th, 2008, Richard Dawkins gave a lecture on The God Delusion during his US Tour. The event took place on the UC Berkeley campus in Wheeler Auditorium, and was completely sold out. A line of hopeful attendees stretched around the side of the building, waiting to see if there would be any 'no-show' tickets at the last minute! This is the Q&A session after the lecture.

Yes, finally someone gets it! Why can't anyone else see it?
they do but faith is way 2 comfortoning for them to ask, compare , lern..etc
The problem with organizing people based on something like non belief is that contrary to what the religious enjoy saying we're not a united dogma and atheism is not an active belief. The non believers are too varied to unify, unless we do so under a banner of frustration and intolerance for the primitive cultural relics of our past. It seems a catch 22 to me. With hope, the growth of this secular community will be exponential &in time religion will be regarded as we now regard fortune telling.
Love the libelous quip. Smart guy is our Prof Dawkins.
You write nice, concise, to-the-point statements
There must be more than this, how come so short ?
Yes, and he also "fails" to mention that astrology and alchemy aren't taught in public schools... what's your point?
@Ryosuke1208 In Germany if you step out of church, you don't have to pay church taxes.
I wish my more conservative university would have dawkins on our campus.
hahaha "organizing atheists has been
compared to herding cats"
i didnt really understand the second last question or the answer to it :(
For your information, the Bible quotes no sources whatsoever and has less use, both as an historical document and as a foundation for a religion than a piece of paper upon which I have written "God doesn't exist.". You do know know when it was written (with the exception of the Gospels, which can be dated to the first century A.D.), you do not know who wrote it, why it was written or anything else about it which would make it reliable.
Doesn't he say that religion is ignorant and foolish? Did you watch this video?
0:34 LOL
google is your friend.
I'm disappointed to hear of an atheist lobbyist. What most motivates my atheism is a refusal to trade personal sovereignty for security, wealth, or power. Organized lobbying of government seems unjust to me--it is a desire to have a greater influence over leadership or policy than others have. I'd rather see atheists find more honest and direct ways to overcome criminal enterprises. Lobbying is meant to be coercive. The only fair way I see to defeat religion is to compel the pious to abandon it.
It seems that after awhile utuub accepts another minus for the same comment from the same user. I guess I'm doubly gay now.
My facepalm bruise from trying to explain why the bible is not the ultimate historical authority to people will probably never have time to heal.
I explain that Christ/Christus is a title that was applied to more people than just jesus and then ask for the earliest extrareligious references to Jesus (by name not title) available and I always receive references that only use the title Christ/Christus never the name Jesus.
I swear they do it on purpose just to frustrate me.
Dawkins obviously believes that religion is ignorant and foolish, though he never really comes out and says it. And by sayuing that children should not be labeled as christians because their parents are christians, he is really implying that he wants childrent to make their own decisions. he is absolutely right on that point. however, he fails to mention the fact that we don't teach both evolution and creation in public shools.

I think all you need to do is refresh the page..
I'm too lazy to do that over and over just to give someone more than one thumb-down; is a little cheap and dishonest too.
But whatever. Do what you want.
(btw. I guess I'm gay too LOL)

Wow, if that makes jdf088 gay then I'm gay too!
I guess I'm gay then.
Coupled with the bizzare inanity of its content, it has no value whatsoever, except as a piece of badly written fiction.
Who the f*ck is francis collins ?
Haha, child farms. :)
I guess I'm gay too
