Atheists, including Richard Dawkins, will be the first to tell you that no one can prove god does not exist. However, through science we can show that almost all of religions claims about our universe have been proven false. You cannot with good conscience say Dawkins is a fraud while every teligious man incliding Jesus has been proved to be fully fraudulent.

The old angry Dawkins is "barking mad" on the opposing side of Christianity, mostly because he never had enough interest to take the necessary time to delve into its astounding tenets. So, people commonly reject things out of ignorance, as does Dawkins, but such decision is based on free volitional choice. A minority (35%-40%) of scientists know many absolutes of God, which are available to all, including Dawkins, but it requires a desire to know such things. .

Many Muslims would argue that this passage refers to the duty of husbands to protect their wives, but there are two points. One, it is worded very strongly, and two, if religion was compatible with human nature, it would know that humans naturally like to be somewhat authoritarian. Afterwards, it says that wives must be "devoutly obedient". Meaning, they have to do their husband's will, whether they like it or not. This and similar injustices in other religions was the first step in my atheism.

Indeed, I agree lets worship the sun as it can always be counted on to be there and not try and control us pitiful little humans. While we are at it, why not stop worshiping the almighty dollar and of course the various soul sucking religions and just try to better ourselves with knowledge that is scientific based and concentrate on treating humans and our planet with more respect. In other words, why not act like responsible adults and use our brains instead of being lazy and following what is the easiest path? We really don't need any kind of religion to give us rules to live by or morals that should be taught by again...responsible adults that are grounded in reality.

How tf do you let your phone ring while listening to Mr. Dawkins?

After hearing the opening about getting rid of the worst president, I had to check to see if the video was one year old or 14.

AND SO, as Richard Dawkins explains here, for now I am an atheist amongst those that oppose knowledge, learning and basic truths... ...and, like Steven Hawking, a 'non-theist' amongst the like-minded. Richard Dawkins is correct, we MUST fight. Or, as Carl Sagan so eloquently relates, we, like Hypatia, 1700 years ago... ...are consumed. Our works obliterated by those that oppose the beauty of science. "We MUST not let it happen again."

Abraham Lincoln: When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion. Albert Einstein: The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.

Agree. At the same time I prefer to puzzle myself with questions for which answer could be obtained in the future with use of science. This way appeals to me much stronger than resting on the chosen figment of imagination for which there is no evidence at all, that is religion.

When he said "congratulations on getting rid of the worst President ever", I had to check again to see if this video is from 2020
