he is a dampening force to take out all of the semi-skewed believers from religion and do some soul searching about science.
the rest of the religious that get retained in their beliefs go out and try to research the meaning of god.
his passion and hate for religion is causing positive change in the religious aspect if people react to it with love. |

i don't see why atheism is so hard to understand. It isn't the belief in no god, it isn't a belief. It is merely an acknowledgement of the lack of evidence for a god. The only belief one could attribute to atheism is that something that can be observed and predicted is a better explanation than something you can't. NOthing is taken on faith. Which is why science always leaves room for improbability/probability for of any theory.
Dawkins never claimed there was no god. He claimed you don't need one. He discounts the merit of belief in something that you cannot test , prove or disprove. |

this is all true. it's good to have scientific knowledge, but the greatest science in the world is love. I'm not trying to be sentimental, but nothing astounds a person more scientifically than to simply be respected. |

^yeah I respect you too, Halcyon+On+On.
it's my bad for stretching the post, but this is a powerful symbolic picture of jesus forgiving a man for nailing him on the cross. |

altruism has a evolutionary basis. Dawkins goes into detail how this can be explained and demonstrated down to the genetic level. Love , even man boy love , the greatest of all, all has a scientific theory for it.
and that painting is obviously outlining the homosexual jesus nailing the apprentice carpenter. He is so in inside that guy. |

That picture doesnt say forgivness, that picture clearly symbilises date rape. I mean the guy in front is clearly been drugged, and look at the look on that sickos face in the back. That just screams rape. |
