This is hillarious, if it wasn't from harunyahya i'd swear it was a parody. Religion harms when it spreads bullshit like this.

- Fascism
- Nazism
- Hippies
- Socialists

Are all the result of atheism lol

that was pretty incredible. the entire video consisted of logical errors, stretching the truth, and outright lies

Yea it was a really weird program, I'd like to know if anyone watched that and thought it was insightful or accurate.

As well as not feeling the need to 'ethnically cleanse' those who are a different religion than you.

I will never forget the image of going next door to walk to school when with the muslim girl in my grade and walking through the front door and into her bedroom to see she has been shot and killed. I went through the rest of the house to see her whole family was dead. Why? Because of their religion. I used to walk to school with her because we'd talk about things and skip along the way and my brothers used to always run ahead kicking their soccer ball around and being boys.

I didn't even KNOW what a Muslim was when I was seven. I knew she wore a headscarf, but I never really noticed it until mum had to explain to me why Rahmah was dead.

How horrible.....

What country was this in, may I ask?

Interesting bump.

I close this thread considering it was I that created it, and now re-reading it, its strayed off from what I wanted to the discussion to involve.

There are some thoughtful posts, from differing sides of the argument. I'm glad that some religious people didn't take on an "OMG STFU RELIGION IS AWESOME I LUV GOD STOOPID ATHEISTS" attitude but rather stepped back and had a look at religion as an institution.

I may recreate a new thread discussing this topic. I intend to create better constructed religious debates, considering many of them are very messed up in their content (members who cannot recognise the difference between the topics) or fail to stay on topic, especially intelligent ones.

Closed thread, but its continuation will come some time soon, and better constructed.
