    The bald guy is great, really perfect in his argumentation. The other one is more annoying and far away from his level.

    Yet what they primarily prove to me is, that the classic understanding of and faith into the traditional religions is ridiculous, especially if the scriptures being taken literally in a serious way. But it is impossible to state that atheism is closer to the truth than theism, this is just an opinion, since we can't know - which is why I'm rather an agnostic.

    What we do know however is, that many very important, even fundamental aspects of the religious dogmas are false, can be disproven by the facts and reality.

    And again, I can agree with this bald guys position point for point, perfect argumentation indeed.

    I think Europe is experiencing the cost of atheism right now.

    That's Liberalism and Cultural Marxism rather and those which are still Christian are usually the most Liberal of all IN THE IMPORTANT MATTERS for our people, the leftwing Christians.

    So this has nothing to do with religion, but a lot with ideology - and in the end, religion is nothing but an ideology which tries to be backed up by transcendental experience.

    Better "better prophets" and founders of religions knew that, they made more or less useful rules, and just legitimated it with the religious pathos, so that even the immoral and stupid might follow them.

    Yet, this works, like in Islam, always best for the time in which the prophets live, once he is dead and the world changes, the rules stay the same, whether they are still good or not, especially if the religion being based on scriptures, there can be only interpretation, but the sayings stay the same, which make a people backwarded in mind and culture, as one can see in the US South as well.

    Religion or not is from a political stance not the question, the question is which rules and values a people have. This might be religiously legitimated or not, that is unimportant.

    Just go for the "anti-abortionists" fighting for "the life of every black crack baby" serving as an example.

    I'm not a Southerner but with the possible exception of Mormons, they are probably the healthiest major white demographic in terms of overal spiritual, political, and racial health. They also tend to have children - which seems to be something severely lacking in their white critics.

    Right. You can't just compartmentalize things.

    Problem is, that alone doesn't make everything alright you know and still many other groups have even more children than them, they only have more children in comparison to other Euros...

    @ Joe and Debase: What were your thoughts of the video? What did they mean by "the real cost of religious faith?" Did you agree with the caller?
