Stephen Fry should try and annihilate Mohammed. Sealing the outcome of his fate with The Religion of Islam is inevitable. You think Stephen has a big enough set to youtube that?

Side: Yes

yeah I think those are excellent points. Im saving this video.

Side: Yes

Very good points. Even if God does exist, he I hardly respectable. He has caused all the 'natural-evil' in the world. WHY? Why would such a loving God who cares about us wish to cause so many people suffering. You cannot deny that if God exists, he is hardly a decent being. It seems to me, all he wants is people to worship him and be in awe of him. He threatens to send people to Hell to be burned forever if they do not worship him. How selfish is that?

The reason people make up stuff like this is because they walk according to their own lusts and don't want to be told by God what they should or should not do, even though what God says to do or not to do is always best, always for the good of those who have sure hope in His mercy.

And ill mention as an example to my post regarding good men who stood because of God and His word, men and women of salt and light who was God pouring mercy into a dark world.

It was because He made men in His image that many ills were pushed back by His presence through them!

So imagine if He just let us go as man's evil consumes.

Religion is the rudder that steers each persons vessel. It directs the purpose within us. It is our way of life that shapes our perception, and by what we use to interpret, evaluate, and act on everthing that is beyond our natural instincts.

And if one has little beyond his natural instincts, well then to him, that low basic standard is their religion. Then their natural instincts become their rudder which steers their thoughts, behaviors, and actions. Their religion is a standard of an unreasoning animal that cares only for his natural instincts. No greater than that of a wild dog.

Each of us has a religion, individual beliefs that determine what we stand for, or object to.

Preference is not a religion, liking or not liking broccoli is not a religion.

Preference are not beliefs. Often beliefs go against preferences.

Each persons world view, and each ones standards regarding what is right and what is wrong. It measures praise, guilt, or shame. It is the internal guidance of accountability and self introspection. Our standard used to interpret all things around us.

Its the guiding factor within us that defines what is good, bad, or indifferent.

Its the meter to measure character, principle, or integrity.

This is each persons religion by which one holds to and by which one responds to things around them.

Whether based on an organized religion or not!

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Romans 1:18-25.18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.

I guess the ignorance lies in what God has held back by His presence.

I have said many times, the Biblical text is clear, the world has it's god. And what God brought into the world was actually an intrusion and disturbing to the god of this world.

Now, you can either seek foolish views that are inaccurate, or you can seek truth and be wiser for it. And respect people who took a stand on it for the greater good.

Whatever you want to believe is fine. But whether God is true or not in your mind, be at least accurate on what the Bible actually says!

Its pretty unfair of our western society, that has benefited greatly by works of faith done by many great and honorable men and women that were inspired to action by it.

Its actually disgraceful to spread this nonsense when the Bible says differently!

Be honest to begin with, but at leadt be honest in honor of those who stood on it and died for it. Which is in the billions!

So regardless if our faith is true or false, isnt misrepresenting what we actually believe, and what is actually written in our book of hope pretty mean spirited?

I have to ask why atheists insist on misinforming people and destroying peoples faith who are not as strong on their study of the Bible. Its assultive in its very nature to discredit for purpose to be disruptive and to eliminate the faith and hope of people who live peacefully standing by and on their faith.

Smart people, brilliant people, average people, young to the old.

I don't know of any Christians decapitating others. But, I do know of 10s of thousands of people, today, who are being courageous enough to actually take a stand for their beliefs and their freedom to believe independantly under their own will, who ARE being decapitated. Heck a family including children were just crucified taking a stand.

What did this frivolous bumbling coward stand for?

For an applause of a crowd who don't give a lick about even this fools name, let alone for taking a stand on believing anything beyond their desire to fill themselves with their next opinion?

Applause is his reward, he is a hero for being perched and standing for something greeted as popular. Regardless of truth of his words. Wow, what courage!

So applause is his reward for his hate from those who agree with his hate. A hate mongering society, who can't stand one minute for anything without bending their will to every political correct whim that graces our inappreciative, self gratifying, deplorable, selfish centered society.

Popularity driven steered cattle, to take their weak willed stand to bully people of faith.Touting boldly their state of depravity, with force and collusion spreading lies and deceptions and insults set out for the intended purpose of pushing back a stand taken by the strong of principle and character, against the faith of Christians, and against a predominately docile people. Who have built up communities, and who historically, as well as presently labor and give into every area and into evry community in the very Name of whom this weak willed man of nonsense bashes?

Really?

How about the men who stood for greatness in adversity. Those who drew strength and even direction from this book and a faith this whimpy man takes on to discredit?

Abe Lincoln, what if he were not motivated and inspired by it.

So how many great atheist who bash standing on faith did anything great?

How about Martin Luther and more men and women that stood for greatness because of this faith the little man bashes!

Books and pages and more and more than can be mentioned by name would take years of role call. Of great people, who did great things because of thr God of the Bible and in the Name of Jesus the King of all kings.

Acts of greatness are tied to acts of faith!

So now what will be great out of this hostile uninformed ignorant crowd?

Unless you consider making society a dirty sewage dump by fighting and beating down faith, as if standing for somethimg beyond yourself as if an enemy as an act of greatness.

Hail to their great acts of freeing minds from thinking!, and conscience, by their great acts of removing the ten commandments simply because the hair on their arms are offended! Clap, clap, clap!

Really??? Please!

Get a perspective that honors these great people who do and did stand for great things, even at the cost of their lives just like the master in this great book, the Bible!

So lets take inventory. How many today would stand with their lives for anything. How many can't stand beyond their mouthy posts and blogs and you tube videos? Clap, clap, clap!

Do you really want to know what is wrong with the kids and adults today?

They don't believe in anything worth dieing for!!!

Its hateful.

Possibly you blame God for the ills of the world. Now that just is not true. There were seeds growing in darkness, and we live among an opposite garden.

We fell from living among one bad tree and many good trees.

To many bad trees and one Tree of Life.

The Bible says light came into darkness. I've mentioned before, think time travel, time travel rules apply. It's simple blame zeus or any other gods you choose. But God's presence eased the pain of the world, and held back evil by influence of light and salt in the world. He didnt take free will away but He brought influence that made life even this bearable.

So He sustained blessings for both the wicked and the good. And kept free will in tact. As He brought generations through the work of example and everything from genealogy to orchestrating the examples and showing prophets what details to write and be custodials of making history and writing history as prewritten history. And ultamately completing the work of Jesus through the Cross and Resurrection.

God entered this world, an already fallen world, He took to then redeem all those He knew, as one who sees as through looking through all time.

So the redemption had to occur, Jesus and the cross were the only way. So unless He did it all, He would be abandoning His sheep who He knows each by name.

To spare the world wasn't an option. It was already judged.

So had He not it would have all been worse.

And also He would be unjust and unfair to those not redeemed that in foresight He already knew if He did not complete all things.

No we dont actually agree. The problem lies in definition.

Influence and discussion, as opposed to militant atheism with a full on oppression of artifact findings, and loads of them writing false information, making websites, even holding conferences discipling militant atheists. In order to literally spread lies about the Bible and Christianity.

There is an internet full of atheists devoted to bearing false witness against the Bible, even attacking the Bibles content by trying to legislate laws to change our book. Its crazy! Who do you think is that bothered by the only truth being spoken?

Now why on earth do people want to touch our book?

Everyone has a right to believe and influence. But atheism is religion that "not a religion" and it was a crock of crap!

But America is now faced with an epidemic of empty souls filling with every depravity to their core.

So tolerance would be a discussion, and factual information used. Not pulled out of context, and false historian blogs, and every false lie, from artifacts to declaring its histotry is "proven false" and honestly its all lies.

They are literally bearing false witness against God, and they blinded almost an entire generstion. They will be judged as false prophets, and charged with leading people to hell. So imagine how the internet makes that for one, not that God needs it, but in writing against them.

And then the stumbling block judgment, and even upon the average Joe who is foolishly pronouncing judgment so severe, its as severe as will be on false prophets and teachers!

Man, Id hate to be that stumbling block on the day he is made accountable for all of his crimes against God!

Ignoring the OP's coupling of the terms "Christian" and "idiot", the idea that this self-proclaimed "destruction of God" in any way undermines the idea of Christianity is superficial at best. First of all, Stephen Fry (the person I assume is talking in the provided video) states several claims which are questionable at best:

1. "How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault?"

This is completely ignorant of the justification for the existence of such things in our world, found in Genesis. According to the Bible, the existence of misery is solely the fault of human action.

2. "It's not right. It's utterly, utterly evil."

This statement is in ignorance of yet another justification found in the Bible: 2 Corinthians: 7. In this verse, sin is described as a thorn in one's side, to keep them from being conceited. Is that purpose "utterly evil"? I say not. Therefore, it follows that God's actions are, at the very least, not "utterly" evil.

3. "Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god..."

If a "stupid" entity could create our Universe, which is of nigh-infinite complexity yet regular, I'd be very interested indeed to hear Fry's idea of "intelligent". I dare say the design of his body is far more intelligent than he is.

4. "...who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain."

While both injustice and pain are present in our world, and readily so, this statement clearly demonstrates Fry's ignorance of the justice and joy of this world, which only presents itself less clearly because it's easier to take for granted.

5. "Because the god who created this Universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac. Utter maniac."

"Maniac: a person exhibiting extreme symptoms of wild behavior, especially when violent and dangerous." If our Universe were created by a maniac, as Fry claims, wouldn't its nature and governing laws be "wild", "violent", and "dangerous"? Why, then, are such things an exception to the normally regular, patterned workings of the Universe? Judging by the laws of physics and the matter and energy they bind, I can only come to the conclusion that, if this Universe is indeed the product of a Creator (another discussion, for another debate), then that Creator must be regular and patterned, or, more generally, intelligent. This existence of ours isn't random, violent, thrown-together, or anything else that would indicate its creation by a maniac.

In short, assuming the entire point of this argument is to claim that God does not exist, this is a poor route to take to further that goal.

This argument is stating, generally speaking, that "because I don't like the things God does, and don't understand why He didn't do them differently, He must not exist!". A poor example of logic indeed.

"This is completely ignorant of the justification for the existence of such things in our world, found in Genesis. According to the Bible, the existence of misery is solely the fault of human action."

Exactly- and that injustice is what Fry is referring to. If original sin was due to Adam and Eve, why is it just to punish humanity as a whole? Why punish children with bone cancer because Adam and Eve disobeyed God?

"This statement is in ignorance of yet another justification found in the Bible: 2 Corinthians: 7. In this verse, sin is described as a thorn in one's side, to keep them from being conceited. Is that purpose "utterly evil"? I say not. Therefore, it follows that God's actions are, at the very least, not "utterly" evil."

To keep man from being conceited is one thing, but to cause roughly 5,000 children under five to die every day because of Adam and Eve isn't "keeping man in check", that is utterly evil.

"If a "stupid" entity could create our Universe, which is of nigh-infinite complexity yet regular, I'd be very interested indeed to hear Fry's idea of "intelligent". I dare say the design of his body is far more intelligent than he is."

I somewhat agree.

"While both injustice and pain are present in our world, and readily so, this statement clearly demonstrates Fry's ignorance of the justice and joy of this world, which only presents itself less clearly because it's easier to take for granted."

Fry does actually briefly reference the pleasure in the world, however, his point about pain and injustice still stand.

"Maniac: a person exhibiting extreme symptoms of wild behavior, especially when violent and dangerous." If our Universe were created by a maniac, as Fry claims, wouldn't its nature and governing laws be "wild", "violent", and "dangerous"? Why, then, are such things an exception to the normally regular, patterned workings of the Universe? Judging by the laws of physics and the matter and energy they bind, I can only come to the conclusion that, if this Universe is indeed the product of a Creator (another discussion, for another debate), then that Creator must be regular and patterned, or, more generally, intelligent.

It's hard to say whether our universe is pattered and regular or not, or random. On one hand, we see complexity and order on Earth, while we also see the dangerous nature of life and natural disasters and disorder otherwhere. The argument isn't necessarily saying that God doesn't exist, but arguing against the idea that God is benevolent.

"If original sin was due to Adam and Eve, why is it just to punish humanity as a whole? Why punish children with bone cancer because Adam and Eve disobeyed God?"

Who's to say that the original sin was the only significant one? Could God, being of infinite knowledge, not be aware of all human action, and not just action taken in the present moment?

"To keep man from being conceited is one thing, but to cause roughly 5,000 children under five to die every day because of Adam and Eve isn't "keeping man in check", that is utterly evil."

Whether the world's suffering is "utterly evil" is a matter of ethics, and thus somewhat subjective. As such, there's no way to come to a meaningful conclusion in this regard.

"Fry does actually briefly reference the pleasure in the world, however, his point about pain and injustice still stand."

His words, in my opinion, imply that there is only suffering in this world, that it's completely horrible.

"It's hard to say whether our universe is pattered and regular or not, or random."

Actually, it's pretty simple. Here's a little thought experiment for you: let's say that, in all of the possible variables the Universe consists of, a single one acted in a truly random manner, say, a photon moving in a truly random manner. If this were the case, this variable would affect its surroundings in a truly random manner, and said surroundings would then affect their surroundings in a truly random manner, and so on and so forth. Basically, if a single truly random element existed in the Universe, no element of the Universe would be predictable. This is not the case, therefore the Universe contains no random elements.

"On one hand, we see complexity and order on Earth, while we also see the dangerous nature of life and natural disasters and disorder otherwhere."

I'm not discussing arbitrary concepts of "order" and "disorder", I'm talking about predictability, or regularity. Just because catastrophic events happen, and life is dangerous, doesn't mean that it isn't regular, or can't be explained.

But if you want to be better or at least claim to be better than the "Christians" who look down upon you....then be freakin better than the Christians who look down upon you.

Why is it your place to destroy someone's religious faith? Why does it matter, even? Ben Shapiro, one of the smartest and most talented men in politics to the day, is an absolute genius and a religious Jew. The measure of one's faith does not necessarily make them an idiot, and if you believe that, then you're a jerk. The country was literally founded upon the freedom of religion. That was the whole basis for coming to America in the first place. You thinking their idiots isn't going to stop that, but arguing that their god doesn't exist with stuff that doesn't prove he doesn't exist is a never ending argument.

I'm not one to say that intelligence correlates to religion, but I don't think it's a bad thing to "destroy religious faith", especially if that person's religious faith is being destructive to themselves. Personally, I don't feel the need to attack anyone's religious faith if it's not harming me, but the problem arises is when someone tries to convert me or tries to govern their relationship with me based on their religion- that's when I'll tell them why I disagree with their religion.

The response is perfect, but you're not going to get anywhere if you refer to people as "Christian idiots". If you're calling them idiots, then you're just trying to insult them and be correct.

There's a difference between debating and arguing. In debating, you want to be proved wrong, and then you can change your views if you are. In arguing, you just don't care about what the topic is, you just want to be proved right. And in this case, by insulting Christians, you are making no attempt to try and actually teach them.
