Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

[Guy Threepwood]

Good point. It excuses mocking and insulting few billions people that do not believe as you! Always its gonna help a discussion if you mock and insult people.

All it helps, is to make sure that person can never change their mind, no matter the evidence, because then they become all the names they called others.

LOL

So you believe fanaticism and fundamentalism to take a backseat to education and academia, and then we let religion poison our children's minds with pseudo science and pseudo history?

 

[outhouse]

exactly the same for evolution

Anyone against evolution is following fanaticism. Evolution is fact.

I agree with it whats the point to insult people because belief. Both sides can mock the other side.

Angry atheist: How stupid are you you believe fairy tales and invisible friend in the sky!

Fundamentalist: How stupid are you you believe 11 dimensions and infinite universes and all came from a tiny spec that exploded and you donno why did it explode!

Why its important to some people what do other people believe except they like to learn. I believe in gods also science I dunno why does it gotta be one only.

You are NOT more intelligent because your atheist.

You are NOT more kind and compassionate because you are Christian or Jain or Hindu or Muslim or Buddhist.

Only you are more arrogant if you believe only you are right.

Wow how much do you assume!!

Possibly you are NOT right always.

maybe you need to learn the difference between truth, and what is actually an insult or mocking.

Is Chopra teaching things not academic.?

is he teaching his imagination?

And is he or is he not promoting ac pseudo reality.



Either he is correct and factual, and the whole world should follow him. Or he is another less then credible person with his own made up version of life.

Good luck substantiating the first sentence .

 

[outhouse]

Wow how much do you assume!!

Show me where I made any mistake at all or assumed anything.

You cannot. Desperate people never can substantiate their positions.


Chopra does not teach the world anything.

Deepak Chopra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Chopra's "nonsensical references to quantum physics" are placed in a lineage of American religious pseudoscience

 

[tiki]

Also here is what I can not understand. If atheism is not a religion why angry atheists are on a religion? Only to troll maybe? I understand atheists possibly like to no what do people believe but ANGRY atheists are same as fundamentalists. It is not possessible they can learn something.

I did not say Chopra. "So you believe..." probably means ME and you donno what do I believe you ASSUME.

 

[Monk Of Reason]

Then don't make absolute statements like: 'there is no awakening', when you simply do not know, especially in light of so many others who have reported such awakenings. If you really have the open mind of a man of Reason, you would allow the possibility of a state of consciousness beyond that of the mind of Reason.

Why is there no evidence? And if there is no evidence why should I believe it? You ask me to abandon reason? I ask you to abandon your philosophy. Who has more credible information?

There is no contradiction. Man is simply asleep, dreaming that this world is real, and that the character he is playing out is real, when it is fiction. Awakening shows him otherwise. We're still talking the same world; only the way it is viewed has changed. In fact, the ordinary mind is none other than the mind of Higher Consciousness. It's just that it has now awakened and a transformation of mind has occurred.

You haven't addressed what I said at all.

That is not what I was referring to. You said that rudimentary thought occurs when the brain is regulating heartbeat, digestion, breathing, etc., so I asked if that meant that there is thinking without a thinker of thoughts.

The brain that moderates those functions is the same brain of the person who has those thoughts. Both are results from brain activity. So yes they are thoughts and the thinker is the "brain".

I think you're right, it works both ways, though if you hang around here a while, I think you would agree that it tends to rear it's head on one particular side of the debate

Personally I think it's about faith, or lack of it, we all believe in something right?, none of us can prove it, and as long as we acknowledge that, we can get along- because we might find ourselves on the other side one day.

But if we do not acknowledge faith, we assume inherent intellectual superiority, this 'justifies' ramming our 'superior 'beliefs down other's 'inferior' throats, which can never work

Dawkins "It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane"

I don't think he is any of those things, I just think he's wrong, and he's clearly causing himself a lot of stress over the desire for everybody to agree with him.
Stalin, Mao, Il Sung... made very similar statements, and I think their hatred came from the same place- blind faith is faith which does not recognize itself..

I agree with it except I donno why does there gotta be debate. Did some body change minds EVER because debate?

Science can not prove no god only a fool scientist will try. It is pseudo science because it is not what science can prove.

Religion can not prove god because prove is outside religion.

 

[outhouse]

If atheism is not a religion why angry atheists are on a religion?

Who is angry.

You the one calling what encyclopedias say, insulting and mocking.

Sorry I have a passion for history and science and do not like when Chopra types mislead people without the knowledge to know his errors.

 

[tiki]

If I can open a box and prove god why I'm gonna do it? If I can prove god then my faith does not have value.

 

[outhouse]

Science can not prove no god only a fool scientist will try

Science does not have to prove anything. At this time scientifically, no god exist and there is nothing for science to look at.

Now a scholar can prove the current god concepts are all man made with a reasonable doubt that would hold up in a court of law.

I recommend you to read my words what did I say and not what do you wish I said.

I'm gonna not discusses with who changes my words. Bubye.

Also here is what I can not understand. If atheism is not a religion why angry atheists are on a religion? Only to troll maybe? I understand atheists possibly like to no what do people believe but ANGRY atheists are same as fundamentalists. It is not possessible they can learn something.

I'll give you 3 examples of WHY we are often angry and often frightened.

!st ISIS burn woman alive for refusing 'extreme sex act', reveals UN official | Daily Mail Online

2nd Westboro Baptist Church Home Page

3rd Huckabee: Gay marriage will lead to 'criminalization of Christianity' | MSNBC

ALL if these folks follow a supernatural religion that they claim is absolute Truth, beyond doubt or question, infallible, and eternal. ALL want the power of the state used to enforce some or all of their mythology.

As a comment I saw recently has it, "Atheists talk about religion for the same reason oncologists talk about cancer."

 

[outhouse]

It is not possessible they can learn something.

Do you like your faith enough to study it at a university or two?


Religion closes minds, not the lack of fanaticism and fundamentalism.

You like to pick out tiny number of extremists. You forgot to write about atheist extremists. Do you no who was Jim Jones? I recommend you to research him.

So why your on a religion board?

I'm gonna not discusses with who changes my words.

Its wise that when one jumps in a debate, one does not do so unarmed.

YOU flat stated this. """ It excuses mocking and insulting few billions people that do not believe as you! """


Honesty is required here. Please show me where I mocked or insulted a few billion people.
