Bill Maher reads from The Purpose Driven Life

richardaberdeen Says:

May 17, 2012 - And, it is easy to prove you are a sinner. Try doing what you think is good all the time and, see how well you do. And, if you have ever changed your mind about what you formerly believed, this demonstrates you are a sinner, open to deception and misconception within your own being and, prone to passing on such misconception and falsehood to others. Only a sinner would call another sinner a moron and, only a moron would pretend they have no sin.

OnkelStein Says:

May 18, 2012 - As I've said you idiot, MOST people do not commit crimes like these, thus most people are not sinners. You have more hate for the human race than any atheist I've ever met.

OnkelStein Says:

May 18, 2012 - Aah,yes. The universe can't appear all by itself, but an allknowing god who can read 6 billion thoughts and answer them at the same time is of course easily explained by saying he is ETERNAL. Yes, that makes sooo much more sense ; D

OnkelStein Says:

May 18, 2012 - Yes, a lot of cultures from that era have tales of a great flood. Just because there was a flood doesn't mean that a man built a boat where he gathered pairs of all the animals in the world (he would surely need a bigger boat, if you've read the measurements in the Bible), sailed around for forty days and forty nights and then re-populated the world through incest. Furthermore, even if there was a flood, it sure as hell didn't kill 99 % of all the people in the world like your "holy" book claims

OnkelStein Says:

May 18, 2012 - You're full of shit. The only way Adam and Eve and their sons and daughters could've populated the world would be through fucking eachother, and inbreeding as we know isn't exactly what makes species thrive. If you actually believe the story of Adam and Eve, the apple and the talking snake you have no right to participate in a rational discussion. Do you also think that Noah got to be over 900 years old? :) "HA HA HA HA HA ETC"

OnkelStein Says:

May 18, 2012 - No, changing my mind about a subject proves that I've got a sound mind who can look at the facts, both old and new and then form my opinion based on logic and evidence instead of just my gut feeling and emotional state. That proves that one has a healthy brain, contrary to those people who cling on to two thousand year old desert myths because they can't cope with reality and the fact that their lives isn't governered by a totalitarian skydaddy.

OnkelStein Says:

May 18, 2012 - Okay then, show me the evidence for that claim. 12 000 years ago? Uuuh... We started keeping DOGS 10-15 000 years ago you idiot. Maybe you should read some actual science and not the one presented to you by religious fanatics.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - I get this same response from many atheists because atheists in general rarely know much about science, especially current science. Anyone who is familiar with DNA research, archeology and similar areas is aware of species cross breeding. And, they are also aware that species share much more recent common ancestry, because weaker strains on the hereditary chain die out. This was known prior to DNA evidence and better verified in the case of humans after mapping the human genome. (continued)

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - (continued from previous). You can find the information in footnote 17 at this link and can link to an article on the research found in red "Common Ancestry", which was independently verified by a leading archeologist at Tenn State Univ. You have to piece the link together and eliminate the spaces because Youtube does not allow links: freedom tracks . com / theory . html If you eliminate every space in-between the dots and characters, it will form a link that works - I just tested it.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - No, it proves you were wrong to begin with. People are not born with much knowledge or capability of critical thought. Rather, most children believe what they are taught until something happens in their lives that causes them to doubt it. The mere fact most children are taught wrongly about many things proves adults are liars, often passing lies they themselves inherited. You don't have a pot to piss in if you pretend you have never lied or otherwise, been a victim of other people's lies.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - As a good example, the vast majority of scientists once believed the sun revolves around the earth. Even after both Copernicus and Galileo were dead, many scientists continued to insist the sun revolves around the earth. ALL human beings, including ALL scientists, tend to cling to what their culture teaches them until proven otherwise. This is a well-established fact of history, psychology and rational thought. What is self-evident remains "science" unto proven otherwise.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - Every single biologist would disagree with you. Somewhere at some time, every so-called "new" species emerges as a single living being. Such a being must breed within the former "species" in order to breed at all. And that is what Genesis says; adam means "mankind" in Hebrew and, eve means "mother of us all". There is probably not a single biologist who would dispute the fact all humans share a common female ancestor, impregnated by a male and, early on, both species would inter-breed.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - You have a significant problem, because you can't accept the facts 1) Farming represents a significant evolutionary advancement; 2) Many scientists, historians and archeologists agree; 3) Several have proposed that from the emergence of farming forward is where a true modern human being should be defined and 4) This agrees with the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel in the Bible; Cain and Abel being the first farmers. God defines a human being as God chooses; God does not bow to science.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - Several also have a story of a man who built a boat, which is found in both the Bible, Sumerian and other sources. This indicates to a careful historian, that it may be a true story. If you knew much about history, you would be aware that many so-called "myths" of history have later been proven to be either facts or probable facts; among them Adam, Noah, tower of babel, Abraham, Sodom, Daniel, David, Solomon & Moses. Evidence of a literal garden of eden was discovered by NASA, now under ocean

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - You have yet to provide even a different explanation, let alone a better one. The positions of atheists regarding God, is like an alien who has never seen a computer before and has no knowledge of the modern age, finding a computer 3,000 years from now after mankind has wiped itself out and then concluding nobody created the computer. Atheism is a total horse shit position, having no relation to science, evidence, logic, rational, rhyme or reason.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - ALL people commit crimes like these. When we lie, we teach other people to lie and pass on bad information. When we steal, we teach other people to steal, regardless of whether it is a penny candy or billion dollars--I've stolen several items in my life, including a penny candy when I was a child, cheated on my taxes when I was young and bragged about it. When we hate someone, we are guilty of murder, because people often kill based on hatred within them, caused or aggravated by other people.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 18, 2012 - As Jesus taught and science agrees, how we treat other people very much affects how they in turn act and, so on down a long chain of events. Nobody arises in a vacuum and, only do good or harm. Rather, people like Adolf Hitler and Albert Schweitzer typically start out similar and, various influences as well as personal choices add up to the sum of what they ultimately become inside and, what acts out on the surface. Science agrees with Jesus, violence arises from what is within us all.

C1Era Says:

May 20, 2012 - Are you really trying to argue the Adam and Eve theory from the bible as a literal interpretation? That's pretty funny. I see by all your comments that you like to make assertions by saying "all scientists agree" and such other bullshit. I can assure you that no science backs up the fictitious claims of the bible. Adam made of dust, Eve of Adam's rib? What a comical theory. I've read through must of your comments. Pretty hilarious. Keep up the falsified claims that science backs you up.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 20, 2012 - Obviously you don't understand the difference between a lie and what is true. As far as I am aware, ALL modern scientists agree that human beings share a common female ancestor, impregnated by a single male ancestor. This is what the Bible says and, this is what modern science says. Atheists have a problem with reality, which is why they are atheists. Reality and what is true are the same. People don't know everything that is true, for now we see "in part", what the Bible says and, is true.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 20, 2012 - And, some scientists believe life began is plain dirt or clay, some believe it began in or near fresh water, some in caves, some in the ocean, some underground, some believe it arrived on space rocks; a new theory proposes life began inside of rocks. Science has no idea how life began and, neither do you. You don't know if God formed us out of dust or not, nor do you know if our species branched from a part of DNA that forms our ribs. Science doesn't know how we came into being, nor do you.

richardaberdeen Says:

May 20, 2012 - And finally, emerging science since the mapping of the human genome indicates ALL people alive on our planet today descend from a recent common female ancestor no older than the biblical Eve. You can find the evidence for yourself at this link. Because Youtube doesn't allow links, you need to place the w's in front and remove each space: freedom tracks . com / theory . html This is discussed in footnote 17 (do not remove the dots or slash, do remove the spaces).

May 22, 2012 - Here's something I'm sure most who watch this have missed, but is very true. It is NOT a coincidence that he wore a shirt with a picture which displays the "serpent king" or "serpent god" on the front of it. If you don't believe it's significance.... ignorance spreads in many different directions.

May 22, 2012 - You cannot help but to fell , (not sorry) or (bad) for Bill, as his only level of communication is to ripe apart the work of another. I have looked far in an attempt to find any orginal thought from Bill, But, Again you can only find (Bill) the stand up..... ahh, guy is guess in attempt to belittle the work of others.Please understand his lack of logic and understanding to believe there is no higher power in this life is nothing more than envy of NOT knowing any real purpose. But it's ok.

Drago19930713 Says:

May 23, 2012 - Bahahaha... Look who speaks about logic... And don't be surprised if slave-like purpose that religion rants about, is not appealing to everyone. People who possess ability to think critically will not believe that crap. Gullible and ignorant fall for religion. Not the other way around.
