The Collapse of Atheism
Video Link
Here's a video I found, I don't know if you guys have seen it. I did a forum search and found nothing. It's called "The Collapse of Atheism" and it appears to have been made by a muslim group. It's kind of long - 40 min, and if this steaming pile of blatant lies doesn't make you want to vomit, you are a better person than I. It's even more cheesy at times than the Kirk Cameron video.

Such "cart before the horse" fallacies are common among Creationists. The planet isn't crafted to suit our narrow biological needs, we've simply had a few billion years to adapt to these conditions.Destructionator XIII wrote:How about if it wasn't the way it is, we simply wouldn't be here to see it?
If Earth's environment were drastically different, we would be narrowly adapted to exploit those conditions instead.

They make Atheisim sound like an evil disease
The images of the houlocaust have no place in the opening, Christians we're responsible for that one
And somebody better call Paramount , the fundies used the Praxis explosion to illustrate the Big Bang
Other than that this vid is one big piece sh*t

Douglas Adams, IIRC, was fond of a little analogy: the puddle looked at the hole it was in, and thought, Hey! This hole perfectly fits me! It must have been designed for me!Destructionator XIII wrote:This is funny. I am just partially through it, but they have already lied quite alot.

A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Whee, forty minutes of bullshit anthropic principles and half-assed religious ethics . I found this quote particularly ironic though.

I was genuinely unaware that every single tenant of my world view has been overturned by recent scientific advances. I mean, I already was aware that, as an atheist, I was 94.34501% more likely to commit suicide, abuse women, and sodomize baby goats, but this new revelation has really made me rethink my life. Thank you, cheesy flame-effect and thematically-timed piano music, you have let me see the light.

I like this little anecdote told by Richard Dawkins about Douglas Adams:Destructionator XIII wrote:This is funny. I am just partially through it, but they have already lied quite alot. The thing they are saying at the point I am at now is "the universe is perfectaly made so it can support human life, therefore God must have created it."

"To illustrate the vain conceit that the universe must be somehow pre-ordained for us, because we are so well-suited to live in it, he mimed a wonderfully funny imitation of a puddle of water, fitting itself snugly into a depression in the ground, the depression uncannily being exactly the same shape as the puddle."
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower
Fundies are always saying stupid shit like this. At one point, it was something about evolution being a dying theory. This was even repeated once by our wonderful ex leave-us-in-debt President Reagan.
They have this technique that goes something along the lines of this. "Since we hate anything that's not us, let's not even acknowledge it exists! Atheism is collapsing! Evolution is a dying theory!"
I've seen children with better reasoning skills...

That was 20 minutes (I sat through half and stopped in disgust) of-
'This comprehension has been destroyed by science. No, I won't say how. It just has.'
'The universe had a beginning, therefore creation, therefore, god'
'The precambrian explosion proves creation'
Etc. They definitely intend this to be shown to the stupid, because no one intelligent will give it the time of day intellecturall.

Re: The Collapse of Atheism
wel, obviously they weren't true Christians. Nope, it was all an elaborate front that they put on... so elaborate, that it enveloped every aspect of their lives, no matter how minute or private. Yep, they did such a good job of hiding their true allegiances to the evil Godless forces of atheism, that even to this day, we can find no evidence of it! Obviously this means that they wanted to cover it up.FedRebel wrote:The images of the houlocaust have no place in the opening, Christians we're responsible for that one

This video contains enough outright lies that I can't even comprehend what kind of vaguely honest person could compile it. At this level of deception, I can't help but think that someone set this video up with the intention of lying to the viewer. This would require either a phenomenal amount of tunnel vision, where the fellow simply ignores vast amounts of contradictory evidence, or else there's intentional decieption involved.

What a piece of historacal revisionist BULLSHIT. Watching it at first I wanted to cry, thinking "can people really be this willfully ignorant?". But when it got to Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, and even the hippy movement, and claimed that atheism was the cause behind all horror and immorallity of those times... Fuck Them!

What is the purpose of this video anyways? All it does is preach to the choir. Why the hell would they waste 40 fucking minutes with a tape like this?

During WWII, the Germans and Japanese put out propaganda saying how well the war was going for them when anyone of their citizens could see that they were fucked.
It's the same thing here with them making up bullshit like how ID is being widely accepted and promoted in the scientific community and their blatent historical revisionism.
