Richard Dawkins, I imagine

 

Lol, he can be abrasive, I've read his book The God Delusion.  I've also read Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris's books.  Entertaining and occasionally provocative reads.

Yeah him, and the whole thing in general. I just can't stand those smug atheist assholes, like the whole Atheist Movement is something I don't want to hear about.

So pretty much what everyone thought, unless it implodes in a few hours again.

What about Hillary Trump?

 

Theyre pretty good friends so I'm sure Trump shares some of the same beliefs as her privately.

Looking at The Unbelievers's Wikipedia page there's a lot of people who REALLY hate religion: not only Dawkins and Krauss but also Ricky Gervais, Bill Maher, Penn Jillette, and Sam Harris.

I put Son of God in a different category than God's Not Dead--they both appeal to Christian audiences, but you have the movies set in Biblical times and the ones in the present. I was comparing God's Not Dead to Heaven Is For Real, War Room, Miracles from Heaven...they came later, the reviews are better (not great but not 14-15 percent on RT bad). If you want a "modern" Christian movie you have options...maybe a better release date would have helped for GND2 but they needed to dial it back several notches. Even the "War on Christmas" people saw that trailer and thought, "Yeah that's a bit much."

 

Yeah, I'm a Christian and I will never, ever watch a movie that posits white Christians as victims in America. It makes me furious just thinking about it.

They be offensive sometimes, but I'd take them over Europe's Saudi funded hate preaching clerics that are actually dangerous which is becoming a big problem.

They're not atheists, they're antitheists. Some of them like Christopher Hitchens precisely define themselves as that.

 

"I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful."

@Rth

What can you tell us about Zootopia?

 

[Dementeleus]

Gotta say, I didn't expect the weekend thread to turn into this topic.

Did you forget about the Christian propaganda film that was released on April Fool's day?

I know I know it's a big complex issue and there's all kinds of horrible stuff being done that's fueled by religion, I just don't agree with the idea that all religion is essentially harmful like some of those guys do. 

 

But this is a discussion for another thread. 

[La Binoche]

I saw Greek Wedding 2 (don't ask). It's so, so bad. She had FOURTEEN YEARS to develop that damn script. It's weird how no one in the cast aged except the white guy. Nina Varwhatever looks younger and better than she did 14 years ago. Forget black -- it's Greeks who don't crack.

Is Sam Harris as obsessed with hating Muslims in his books as he is in his debates?
