Hebrew Scriptures is product by human beings.

Matthew: “Atheists fear responsibility, in order to get rid of the threat of Hell below them they have to discredit God with the same stone, that means abandoning Heaven above them too.”

Some people is stupid.

Atheists fear responsibility, in order to get rid of the threat of Hell below them they have to discredit God with the same stone, that means abandoning Heaven above them too.

#4: Your slander of Dawkins—affiliating him with racism—is completely baseless. Dawkins may be stubborn and occasionally a bit rude, but he is an extremely well-respected scientific writer who has also made some serious contributions to biology. He has zero ties to racism.

Western science and philosophy has abandoned design arguments in the wake of Hume and Darwin. Since then, no proof of a cosmic designer has ever gained any serious scientific credibility.

Get over it!
He was wrong!
That means all that crap you bought into was crap and YOU were ALSO wrong!

How funny!
You were all “behind him” all those years….. supporting him & his “ideas”. You spouted his arguments word for word!!!

BUT….
The Teacher went & pulled the proverbial rug out from under his students!!!

I guess when you’re wrong, you’re just wrong.

Dawkins maybe an evolutionary biologist but he is not a Darwinian. Dawkins is as geneticist (The Selfish Gene) which stems from Ethology (Konrad Lorenz – imprinting – used by the national socialist atheism of Hitler to justify ethnic cleansing of Jews and gypsies) and is potentially neo-racist – people are born to be as determined by their genes. Genetic determinism is a pseudo-scientific exposition of God. So is the concept of Intelligence, which stems from the Spanish Christian concept of Blue Blood – used to preserve the white Christian aristocratic supremacy over the Moors. Look at Sir Cyril Burt, the father of ‘scientific intelligence’ and knighted by British aristocracy for providing ‘scientific evidence’ for their privileged position but since shown to have been a fraud.

Religion is behavior – best explained by the behavioral sciences including anthropology, social and behavioral science – especially B.F.Skinner – the superstition experiment. The term psychology (-ology – study of the psyche)is pseudo-science as witnessed by Sigmund Freud, the charlatan who reinvented the Christian tripartite soul – Id (The son), ego (the man) and super ego (the parent or god – See Eric Berne – Sex and Human loving and Games People Play.

Belief is universal because of the human condition. Awareness, not only of death but extinction. Religion is avoidance behavior of that awful reality. To deny anyone that escape is cruel. You give the prime example at present – that of Flew. Flew is now an old man facing that awful reality and losing unawareness of where he is. Flew did not write that book. It was written by reactionary Christians so they could trumpet a convert. That is an abuse.

You may claim that bing bang is part of a cycle of big bangs, but science cannot prove that and probably never will. Even Einstein said that claiming there was no beginning was his biggest scientific mistake. That reality leaves open the possibility of a beginning and therefore a creator. As Hawkins (A Brief History of Time) said “Now we can see the mind of God”. If anyone has a right to believe in a better life after death is must be Hawkins. Yet Hawkins bravely remains an atheist.

We cannot deny the existence of god/s, so we should learn to respect other’s right to believe. Nor should we allow the carpet baggers of personal belief – organized religion – to take over our personal beliefs, whatever they are. That was the lesson of the Protestant Reformation especially Calvin.

Respect – fully yours
