How to be an atheist

@Naturalist

Do you think it's suitable to post a video on an Interfaith discussion site comparing the Rosary to anal beads?

Look at the Rosary -- basically anal beads. The first two seconds -- that's your stance?

You smirk at posters here for not having your university science education, but how much do you really know about the faiths and beliefs whose forum followers you are here to insult and mock?

How much have you read of the great world scriptures: Buddhism and Hinduism, the Qabalah? Have you even read the New Testament or the Quran? What do you know about the I Ching? Do you have any grounding in Taoism?

I suggest that perhaps by trying to become acquainted with these writings in their attempts to convey to human beings the concept of the divine, you might begin to glimpse the tiniest fragment of the 'God' they all try to describe, in limited human terms -- and which the greatest minds and hearts have spent decades and lives in deeper and deeper exploration -- and as expressed in the greatest art and literature and poetry and architecture

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Dylan Thomas
1914 –1953

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
Is my destroyer.
And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.

The force that drives the water through the rocks
Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams
Turns mine to wax.
And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins
How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.

The hand that whirls the water in the pool
Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind
Hauls my shroud sail.
And I am dumb to tell the hanging man
How of my clay is made the hangman's lime.

The lips of time leech to the fountain head;
Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood
Shall calm her sores.
And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind
How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.

And I am dumb to tell the lover's tomb
How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.

Sorry, I overlooked your post #22. As I recall, you posted something humorous, so I posted something humorous. I'm not one of the comedians in the video. If you don't like a particular comedian, don't watch that one. Comedians do a great social service in crossing lines, that others are scared to cross.

I have read the New Testament and Quran. I have read bits of the other books. There is certainly a big difference between theism and non-theistic religions, and how they motivate their adherents differently.

I appreciate great art, literature, poetry and architecture.

See my latest post in the video section.

That's your idea of humour? Insulting Catholics on an interfaith dialogue forum?

Do you agree to remove the video, as in contravention of the Code of Conduct -- which it might benefit yourself and everybody else here for you to have another look at.

You are behaving like a common internet troll and your rope is running out

You can get rid of me anytime, no explanation required.

I didn't even watch that video before I posted it, because I knew the general subject matter.

Your video insulted atheists. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
