Brett, I accuse you of spreading false information with that George Washington quote. I doubt he ever said that, and I require a citation. When or where did he say it? If it’s true, I will happily apologize to you for doubting your word.

What I think you’re referring to is a speech Washington made in Delaware in 1779. If so, that’s not what he said. Do some research.

As you say, you see things “more clearly”. I believe you. I just don’t think the things you see are necessarily true. You don’t strike me as someone who wants to know the truth, or else you would have spent 30 seconds on Google finding out that Christians made up this quote to further a political and educational agenda.

Saying that you think Glenn Beck is “absolutely right” doesn’t make it so. And the reason he is so well liked is the same reason that religion has a stranglehold on society. People like to hear things that they agree with. People like to get that warm feeling in their tummy when they think everything will be alright.

Why waste your prayers on atheists debating on a website? Why not focus on widespread hunger and poverty instead?

You used the word “prayers” in your comment, which shows that you clearly do NOT see things more clearly that I.

And while Glenn Beck may be first place in ratings IN HIS TIME SLOT. He is most certainly not number one, even on Fox News. Another pompous asshole, Bill O’Reilly, currently holds that spot. Again, by throwing yourself in with this crowd, you’re not helping your case.

If you would like to live in a country where religion is entangled with government and education, I suggest Iran. Maybe your views would change a little. Having been to the Middle East myself, I have seen the tensions that exist and are a sole result of differences in religious belief. It is an unnecessary byproduct of a flawed, violent, corrupt, and intellectually bankrupt system.

Good day.

“What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.”
-George Washington.

If I were to create a website with an idealogy such as your’s, I would abstain from posting the Glenn Beck video. For one, he has the absolute best ratings and views in television, or any mass-media production for that matter, history. And two, he is absolutely right and makes this website look bluntly pathetic. Which isn’t hard to do I suppose after reading your pessimistic posts. There is a reason to which Glenn is so well liked and respected. I believe the polls speak for themselves, as George Washington’s comments do as well. I’m an 16 year old kid, and I see things more clearly than you do. Thus, my prayers are with you and your readers.

God Bless.

Excellently put, Andrew. I’ve never understood the reasoning for not engaging in debate because it might offend someone. If I tried to debate with someone that believed there was a leprechaun in their shoe, I should certainly not avoid engaging them because I might offend their irrational worldview.

These pundits like their one-sided arguments because they perpetuate that a majority opinion is right. Any dissent is dismissed outright because those who disagree are “bigots.” They operate like this because this puts anyone who counters their position with a rational argument on the defensive. The atheists become apologists by default trying not to offend the “majority.” As an atheist I feel that offending someone with an argument that proves what they believe is irrational is my right and duty. The only reason any religious person has to be offended by a rational argument is if they know that they have nothing to counter it. If their belief intrudes on rational discourse then they should be the one on the defensive.

Hey, Doc – I don’t denigrate, but I do criticize religion.

Why would I do that?

Here are three reasons:

1) Religious people – mostly Christians – prevent the federal funding of stem cell research in the US.

2) Same people waste our time and resources and debating gay marriage and voting on it each election cycle.

3) Same people think abortion is worse than war.

Those are just three, and I could go on.

These beliefs, mostly rooted in Christian ideology, are harming our society. And you don’t think we should even be discussing this because you don’t want to intrude, or give atheism a bad name?

Really?!?

Why denigrate Christians and Jews, or Muslim’s for that matter?
A real Atheist should care less what they want to believe in.
You give Atheism a very bad name.
I am an Atheist, and the last thing I would want to do is intrude in anyone else’s belief system.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I truly enjoyed being “assaulted” with the word ‘prayer’. If this guy Beck is so naive to think that a little word has athiests all over the planet curling up in the fetal position and sucking their thumbs while foaming from the ass, then he truly does belong on Fox News with Mr. O’Reilly.

His uneducated arguments and child-like pandering makes this more of a comedy piece for me, rather then a mature debate topic.
