Atheists & Agnostics
Related: About this forum2 Cristians reaction to George Carlin.
For me, it's a head shaker. I feel that the 2 reactors don't want to really get into it , they just want to discard it as jokes or that Carlin just hates god.
What do you all think.

(2,711 posts)I'm with Carlin on this.
They admitted they are "churchgoers" which makes my opinion of them lessened. And then they come across this "I don't really know" attitude which tells me they really haven't done their homework and have chosen to overlook science or just totally ignoring it.
Be that as it may, I'm still with Carlin. He jokes about it but, at the same time, makes a lot of common sense.
These two have their opinion, I have mine.....they don't mix.
end of rant.

Using the very religious bullshit that Carlin questions to refute Carlin's hypothesis is more than a little disingenuous, but what else would you expect from the god-squad. Their circular logic is the reason they believe in the myth to begin with.

Shouldn't he believe when he does know for sure? Isn't that the time to claim the existence of a god when you do know? But no, he believes in a god even though he doesn't know.
Then he keeps harping on this crap that it's all humans causing these problems but not god. Then where is god? Why does he allow all these human created problems? Why does he let priests diddle little children in his name when he could stop it? The rapist priests are just human too, but god lets them continue to do their evil. Why?
He is not logical.
We were half way through the video before the female Christian was allowed to express a complete thought. And then she really didn't have anything unique to say until the very end. The man monopolizes the entire conversation.
Not that her opinion at the end is worth much. So, she claims age and experience will make you go more to religion or move away from it. Well, duh? What other options do you have? Believe in an invisible sky daddy or not. The default should always be do not believe until you prove it
I don't believe in big foot or ghosts because the evidence is insufficient. You don't believe until someone can prove their claim. You don't start with belief in every crazy idea until you check off each unproven claim. You start with disbelief until the evidence is sufficient.

It was not the best reaction video I've watched by far.
