leftofpunk Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I haven't watched it yet, but I have to now question Dawkins' intelligence by even agreeing to go on The Factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all whore darling, we all whore! And O'Reily is less religious than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbobrob Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Could O'Rielly be more glib and flippant when Dawkins made his points about proving other gods and such. And that dig at the end, when Dawkins was not allowed to respond, trying to link Atheists as being without morals....awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The old "atheism has killed more people than christianity" argument. Hitler actually paid his catholic church tax until he died, Stalin originally trained to be a priest and his exact beliefs are unkown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Harley Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 But that's mostly beyond the mentation abilities of FOX people to compute... You just know if one writes a book it's not going to be a new translation of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili with analyses of the the illustrations, with special reference to the alchemical symbolism...

Mongo Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Regarding Mao... I cannot believe that Mao did not intentionally immitate cult indoctrination techniques. The cultural revolution is text book execution. As to he and Pol Pot being atheists, I question the basis of that assertion... he got Hitler wrong and Bhuddism and I believe other Asian religions could be interpreted as atheistic.

HuaiDan Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yes, I quite agree. The cultural revolution was indeed executed like a religious cult, and the repercussions are still being felt to this very day. Individuality in china? uh-uh. ain't happening. to this very day they're lockstep in their cult mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbearer Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The interview was totally unfair. I've seen O'Reilly give more time to far far undeserving people who were utter shitbacks. Seriously, you could tell he didn't take Dawkins seriously and he blew him off, Dawkins looked impatient, almost like "Where was the good admiral when I needed him?!" kinda of look too. Funny how Bill said that religion acts as a regulator for culture. Where was the church when Hitler was gasing the Jews to death? Right by his side.

Grandpa Harley Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Strange to say, there was more in-depth on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart than O'Reily... when satire has more depth that current affairs commentary, then society is sick...

Toxic Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Also Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Ceaucescue etc murdered millions in the name of Karl Marx's authoritarian ideology which is NOT the same as atheism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkcollins Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I did not see that interview but what I saw last night on Glenn Beck sickened me. His guests were Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins of the "Left Behind" series. I did not see but a few minutes , I have had the flu all week and have a weak stomach. This interview was disgusting, you would think they were talking about a upcomming sports event. All the talk about Armageddon, wars, mass deaths, fullfilled prophecys.they were loving it!!! These guys are predators, preying on people's fears, and making a fortune. And old Glenn was playing into it like a script. Maybe I am getting old and less patience but I despise these vultures and what they do. I could rant on and on. One good thing , Dr. Robert Price is in the process of writing a book to counter the "Left Bhind" series. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
