Objective Morality vs. Christianity
Uploaded by NonStampCollector on Aug 29, 2011
I don't think that arguing against objective morality, or arguing FOR it but towards a naturalistic source, are the only options. Take a look at what happens when we (even hypothetically) concede that it has a theistic basis! It certainly doesn't do Christianity any favors.
Why couldn't an objective morality simply make sense? Why does looking at morality through the lens of Christianity make such LITTLE sense? Well, it's obvious why - Christianity and its god is nonsense. There could be no clearer sign that Christianity is a man-made bunch of bollocks, than to look at its claims on objective morality. All these special pleadings about context and new vs old covenants are the dying gasps of a belief system that before long won't have anyone even TRYING to make it make sense. You'd be better off trying to argue that Joseph Fritzl is the greatest father that the world has ever known (within a certain context).
Look elsewhere for an objective moral law giver, other than Christianity, for the god that you are convinced must exist. It can't hurt - and the bible has caused enough problems on this planet, with its contradictory and wicked claims and commands. Don't support, or give cover, to those who want us to base our modern societies around that absurd mess of a book. Be honest with yourself, and reject it, as people do who take a real, open, honest look at what it says. It isn't divine, it is appallingly man-made. Man-made as in MALE-made, too, quite obviously.

How Richard Dawkins Destroys Science
I have found another video on YouTube that has disabled comments and ratings. So... I will post it here with the comment I would have posted on YouTube. No one censors me.
Actually, Mr Craig is almost correct. You do not need to explain the explanation for the explanation to be credible. However... Every explanation HAS a further explanation. This does not destroy science, it is how science works. HIS idea that infinite regression is a bad thing, and something to fear is simply childish. If we did not look for explanations, then try to explain how those explanations are true or false, science as we know it would be stagnant.
Even a child knows to continue asking questions. Everyone has heard a child ask a question, then follow it up with a great many "Why?" questions. Obviously, Craig cares less about finding truths and answers than a simple child. Maybe he simply knows it all. Wow. Here is God, right under our noses!
Furthermore, posting a video stating your opinion, then not allowing comments or ratings just screams 'LIAR'.

CBC News: Sunday - Richard Dawkins (Full - Highest Quality)
Uploaded by patnmax on Dec 17, 2007
Evan Solomon, a McGill University graduate with a masters in religious studies, goes head to head with Richard Dawkins with cookie cutter Atheism interview questions and reveals a deep misunderstanding of evolutionary biology along with a lack of journalistic research.
Soloman's co-host Carole MacNeil, in response to Dawkins' calm reasonable responses, reacts with frustration and an inclination toward violence.

If Atheist ruled America
--Since ratings are disabled, and comments are pending approval, it is obvious to me that what I say will never see the light of day. So, here is what I posted for all the world to see. I bet it never shows up.
Some countries are communist,... fine. Communism has nothing to do with Atheism. Atheism is a state of non belief in something. What has this to do with a governmental structure? As for the suppression of thinking, the countries with the most Atheist populations tend to be the most advanced technologically, and the opposite is true for Theism. Freedoms are also suppressed most in monotheistic based countries. This video's arguments do not support the facts. Look them up.

The Real God: An Epiphany
Uploaded by DarkMatter2525 on Aug 11, 2011
Because I was constantly being told that I'm rejecting God, and I knew that wasn't true, I decided to research rejection, which made me aware of its effects. My studies took me in a completely unexpected direction. The epiphany (pun intended) was rather shocking. The evidence indicates that the personal god is a manifestation of the ego, which explains a plethora of theistic tendencies, including their typical dislike of atheists, who theists subconsciously perceive to be rejecting a part of themselves. God is Tyler Durden; and the first rule of Jesus Club is you have to talk about Jesus Club. The second rule of Jesus Club is you have to talk about Jesus Club.

Praying for Disaster
Uploaded by Thunderf00t on Aug 12, 2011
So if you're driving across the US and you fancy a spot of radio, in the 'no-where' lands you typically get a choice of country n western, or christian radio.
So yeah, I actually listen to quite a lot of christian radio. It's in this fashion that I've acquired quite a reasonable idea of 'what sells' christianity in america, and it aint pretty.
In the current case, this guy was right in the middle of blaming the Japanese tsunami as divine judgement when I turned on the camera.
However, even on the bit I caught, it's amazing how readily this guy was to exploit millions of unfortunate natural deaths were in fact due to his 'god' trying to communicate, simply to sell his religion. I mean I expect it's possible to go lower, but I'd have to think how.
