Uh. Yes they are. And everyone has the right to question anyone's beliefs - it's this little thing called freedom of speech. And there's a humongous difference between atheism or harmless faith and actually taking genesis for granted. Genesis is a disproven horse shit fairytale and believing in it means fighting 200+ years of science, if you decide to do that, go amish. You do not deserve to enjoy the progress we have made.

@jennerial As Americans living in America, yeah, we have every right to insult them. Just as you have the right to call people "nasty". Take a look in the mirror, sweetheart.

jennerial methinks you need to look up the definition of “persecution.” KZfaq commenters expressing their reaction to her PUBLIC statements is not that. Freedom of religion means the GOVERNMENT can’t persecute its citizens for pursuing any religion they want. But we also have free speech here in the good ol’ USofA. Maybe you should crack a book.

If only the religious right really believed that. Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.

Lol I like how all these people already pooped on you about not knowing the difference between persecution, and freedom of speech. That was really dumb... also religious people hate atheists, we just speak and think about things in a reasonable way, based on what we know to be 99.99999% true about the world we live in, like seth and ricky, and they get called demons and liars and are accused of spreading poisonous ideas like treating each other as equals and and why to be a good person based on nothing more than your own desire to be treated kindly in return, as well as just spreading scientific knowledge about the world and yadda-yadda and we're all pretty much unanimously hated on by theists. I mean, to many preachers, we are top tier enemies to religion and the word of whatever god they grew up with.

exactly, i thought it was a sweet conversation

Im an atheist, and im not angry... I understand that there are people who believe in god. I know plenty of christians who get pissed that there are atheist. So it goes both ways.

the problem is that religion is backwards, harmful, causes a lack of critical thinking, lgbtq discrimination... basically it's something logical people view as an evil, it's a cult.

Good for you. Make your own mind up. Don't believe something just because all the people around you do.

@TheTruthIsRacist Either you never watched Strangers With Candy, or you have a very particular or "limited" sense of humor.

We are how the Universe experiences itself. That's why we're here.

I've always thought that humans invented "God" because of the indifference of nature to their welfare. The natural world doesn't give a shit about anyone. When it is cold outside it is cold for every living creature and they must deal with that. If one freezes to death, so be it. So humans couldn't stand that indifference of nature. They needed to have protection from it. So they created a concept called "God". Something they could get assistance from against the forces of nature. A protector. Every religious belief resonates from that desire to have protection from the forces of the natural world. Every single one. It was never really about "Why are we here?", it was always about "Who will help protect me?" From that idea of a protector came the idea of the creator. God is my protector. God put me here for a reason and cares about me. Nature doesn't give a shit but God does. And all the animals and everything else on the planet is stuff God gave to me to use for my own welfare. Without the idea of God, humans are helpless. Stuck in an indifferent natural world which scares them. God is the first imaginary friend of humans.

@Mason Rued RIP Bill Hicks. “Gone too soon” is overused but damn is it true when it comes to him.

Because we live in a fallen creation and because man’s fall into sin had great consequences

this is a progressive show, so it makes no sense to bring her on, the people who watch this show are secular/atheist. do you remember when gay/LGBTQ people were denied equal rights just 4 years ago in America? religion is a big problem in America and is a danger to any civilization. if you're Christian then you should vote Republican btw, they're one in the same. "humans cant change the world, only God can" I hear it all the time. it is cancer.

@@icedcoffee8561 I'm not American and I'm not in ANY WAY religious. I'm just all for people belive what they like as long as it dosn't harm others. I know plenty of Christians who say those who hate people for being LGBTQ+ etc aren't true christians. They even dissagree with the book. I'm not here to argue their logic, but they aren't all cut from the same cloth. Just as I know Muslim people who say that those who kill in the name of it aren't true Muslims. You can't use a blanket to say "you're all the enemy" for then you sink to the level of those who you proclaim to fight against. Try growing up and realising that not every one of a religion, group, race or whatever hates you because others of their kind do or that their books is evil. Try doing what you are fighting for, treat people with respect, equality and so forth, when they treat you the same. Of course fight against those who do want to attack, etc. But there are people in those groups you blanket who aren't against you. Nor are people who argue for tolerence towards even religious folk EVEN RELIGIOUS THEMSELVES.

@@donnmckee4973 Not as salty as your insufferable spicey comment was

Robin Holbrook of all the ridiculous comments I’ve ever gotten on this website, “turn off your tv” might be the stupidest.

Not that you asked, but prayer for me is like meditation, which I practice. I do it for me not for anyone else. It comforts me in times of distress. I do not believe G-d intervenes in my life directly, but offers me strength & focus to deal with the difficulty ahead. This has been a difficult year. Without prayer & meditation to relieve the stress, not sure I would have made it through. Do not be so judgmental. If it helps them to pray how does it hurt you?

If you stop for a minute and just wonder why finding comfort in faith could help people find inner peace and guidance in their lives which is their RIGHT, you would come to the conclusion that you’ve wasted your life arrogantly failing in disproving something that your fallible mind can’t even fully process.

Religion, when it has the majority brings intolerance and attacks on non believers or attacks on others with a different religion. History proves this time and time again. Do we want the dark ages again, no we don't. Have a look at any country that is very religious or has its laws based on its religious doctrine, no tolerance and a un healthy view on gays and women. Some will even kill gays, jail women for being raped and keep secrets about child abuse instead of reporting it to the police. So no, religions don't know the first thing about keeping THEIR views to themselves and rather pray than actually help people directly. Developed countries, when you see census data are moving away from religions and their no evidence based claims and replacing it with critical thinking, science based logic and facts supported by evidence. Giving comfort and support comes directly from trained experts when its need, that actually makes a difference. Taking advantage of people when they are down to get them into your cult (which is what religion is, a cult with lots of members) and making them feel less worthy unless they yield and donate money is also another religious party trick......

@@alfonsonation Oh, it's a question of right? So if I find comfort believing in Santa Claus, nobody should care and I should be allowed to spew my beliefs around without anyone intervening? I am a scientist, not a delusional fool. If religious people were not indoctrinated at a young (and impressionable) age, I doubt that many of them would believe in fairy tales. If you find my point of you arrogant, it is of course your "right".

OMG yikes. When was this?

Wasn't this the woman who they withheld nutritional support from and she starved to death?

aa5a9ak: Her feeding tube was removed. As with anyone who is dying, they don’t eat or drink. Their organs shut down. She was not “starved” to death. You make it sound like they tortured her. What would you suggest when someone is dying they should shove a feeding tube down their throat and see how long it keeps them alive? That’s not natural, that’s just cruel.

Matt I’m sorry you only understand one way of religion. I blame most of that on politics. But you take the fall a little as well. You’re old enough to type, you’re old enough to do minor research. Just because people use religion to do bad things, doesn’t mean it’s all bad. I have my issues with religion just like the next person. But that doesn’t mean religion is bad. For instance, I’m poor (like most millennials) and don’t have insurance. But because of an awesome Christian organization here in STL, I can go see a therapist as often as I want for just $20, instead 50 to 100. There’s good out there

Haha I haven’t been in that club in a long time

Why do opposing views offend you so much?

Rituals of any kind are theater.

HELLO!!!

May be you have been brought here to hear something you need to hear.

I think it's because as Atheists, we get uncomfortable with religious anecdotes because fundamentally we disagree with it. Furthermore, for me, if someone is this persistent about referencing their destiny and life towards god, they must be unstable and vulnerable.

Fair enough, but I like SPECIFICS on some things, if the topic is this big, and not generalised claims.

Yes, but there is a big difference between being critical of a person, and of their beliefs. It's not OK to go around spouting nonsense and then acting hurt when someone refutes your claim. We should respect the right of people to believe stupid things but not support them spreading them around, to children in particular. So yes, consider other people's perspective, then make your own comment about the veracity of it.

God cares about everyone and everything that they go through. People seem to forget that since the fall, this world belongs to the devil, hence why bad things happen to everyone. Those people who get killed, the children who die of cancer? Loved by God. Killed by satan. The Bible talks so much about how God hears our prayers, knows our heart, and loves us more than we can comprehend.

This pretty much sums up my reaction.

Why is everyone being so nasty? Ms Heaton is an American living in America she has the right to believe what she wants - without persecution. If you don't agree with someones spiritual belief you don't have the right to insult them. There are many atheist "preachers" - look at Ricky Gervais and Seth MacFarlane.

Would you like to be as deluded as MLK Jr? Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Many progressives are religious. Most nobel peace prizes go to people who are devout in one religion or another. "Religion is good for good people and bad for bad people," journalist & author Chris Hedges. And the same applies to atheists, I might add.

@@brynawaldman5790 The difference is that any truly "devout" person is hindering the progress of science and most atheists don't. God didn't create jack shit, the big bang theory has been proven over and over enough for the "creation" discussion to have been over some time ago. Unfortunately, scientific consensus does not translate to a public understanding of it, same thing is happening with the topic of climate change right now. Most people prefer spouting their non-fact based opinions over listening to the few people that do have the facts, et voila, problems arise. Atheists are not exempt from being stupid, but the core concept of faith (believing in something you have no knowledge, understanding or proof of) promotes stupidity and regress because it often trumps the willingness to learn and understand where atheism at least has no impact on whether or not you are willing to listen to science.

Bryna Waldman I just like the idea of a Space Wizard helping me out. Sounds ace.

@Mason Rued They can be mutually supportive, too. Read MLK's diaries. When he was 26 his house was bombed and Correta and their first baby were ok (he wasn't home) but he went into a panic over it. He prayed. He heard a deep male voice say that his family would not be harmed. I don't remember the exact words, but it's early on in the diaries. His family wasn't hurt. What he heard became true and it gave him strength (and I am not one of those people who think he was a minor god; I know about all the affairs he had; but he was a great leader, and he changed this country for the good in a way that no-one else could have done. He was a great man. Human and flawed and great.) Harriet Tubman was the most amazing person on the underground rr, and she made hundreds of trips to the south, and brought people back, never getting caught. Often it was noticed she would know when a place wasn't safe before the underground rr knew about it, because she prayed. If the slave hunters found a safe house she knew about it when it happened. She was a very religious Christian. Mind you; my personal take is that going into altered states can give a person information that might not be available otherwise. Atheists who do ayahuasca ceremonies with traditional shamans as guides get amazing breakthroughs, at times; like overcoming an addiction from just one ayahuasca experience. That's why I like the Chris Hedges quote so much; ethics matter more than cosmologies. I do believe religious people have sources of strength that we lack. I was raised atheist, but participated in Native American ceremony some, and learned a lot. A scientific explanation that wouldn't include a deity can be found in the work of biologist Rupert Sheldrake. Back to the faith giving strength stuff; don't you think it's real? Don't you think if people feared death less they could be more courageous in life (whether one believed in heaven or reincarnation or whatever).
