Richard Dawkins: An atheist's call to arms

http://www.ted.com The session was titled "The Design of Life," and the TED audience was probably expecting remarks about evolution's role in our history from biologist Richard Dawkins. Instead, he launched into a full-on appeal for atheists to make public their beliefs and to aggressively fight the incursion of religion into politics and education (quoting Douglas Adams in the bargain). Scientists and intellectuals hold very different beliefs about God from the American public, he says, yet they are cowed by the overall political environment. Dawkins' scornful tone drew strongly mixed reactions from the audience; some stood and applauded his courage. Others wondered whether his strident approach could do more harm than good. Dawkins went on to publish The God Delusion and become perhaps the world's best-known atheist.

brilliant man, and agree almost 100 % with him. I didnt know bush senior said that about atheists, thats fucked up lol. Pretty good example of how 'caring' religious people can be about our own species eh?

Well, with logic like that I can see why religion is so attractive to you."i didnt accuse atheists of not thinking", re-read you own post.

Is the fact we'd have no evidence hypothetically to prove God just 'came to us' meant to be an argument FOR Religion? laughable.

Thee irony of your post mocking atheists, making you a huge hypocrite? We aim to convert? When your religious pedophiles get out off our education system, you'll have a point. Until then it's clearly Religion imposing beliefs on innocent children, right after they get out of the bath together.

No belief = no thought? What?!?! It's the complete opposite. We're forced to rethink because of forced religion we endured from the ages of 5-16. When our minds are too young to consider anything logical. Carefully sugar coated in the form of happy happy sing songs and plays. Its disgusting.Maybe no thought = spelling opposite, oppisite =)

oppisite of belief is no belief at all. no belief should = no thought. no thought should = no conversation. many you people seem to be obsessed with the topic as much or more than many theists. why did you birng science up? what does that have to do with atheism? i didnt accuse atheists of not thinking for themselves. your atheist delusion is off the charts.

Isn't it strange that the religious are the ones obsessed with sex, particularly gay sex.
swinkyuk (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Very funny, talk about turning the truth on it's head!Who is obsessed with converting who?Atheism isn't a belief, it's the opposite.Scientific theories are based on evidence and open to critisism, is religion?And you accuse US of not thinking for ourselves! LOL!

For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
