Jimmy Carr - Stand Up About Religion

A video I put together containing Jimmy Carr's stand up clips about religion.
I hope Jimmy doesn't mind me making and sharing this.
If you're still reading, you could do something really positive that would hopefully inspire the pupils at my school. It would be excellent if you could download and rate/review my completely free new game app called 'One Lap Reloaded', which I made to show my pupils it was possible. Here are the links:

Furthermore if you do believe that atheism is true then your doing so based on preconceived biases and not on the basis of evidence or theory, this became clear to everyone when the 'New Atheists' started debating religious apologists and got trounced over and over, so they went back to attacking religion from a distance.

I wasn't confusing them, faith is based on knowledge, all belief lies upon foundations, the argument is whether those foundations are plausible or not, im forced to admit, in order to be intellectually honest, that the plausibility of a deity is more plausible then a lack of one.

'That's the true situation.' > I agree but it's just as irrelevant as saying no one can prove there are no mermaids somewhere under the sea - or can you? 'However, there is that type of math out there where one does not know the full calculation, one has the input (desire) and the output but not the middle part.' > But how does that say anything significant about unsupportable god claims? Or mermaid claims? 'In essence, I choose to have a god because my mere desire could make it true' > Oh really? So if my 'mere desire' is to believe that that there are mermaids somewhere under the sea does that mean that there are mermaids somewhere under the sea? - And please explain how beliefs can be choices? Can you choose to believe there are mermaids under the sea when there's no good reason to believe that either? Yes or no? '...and I desire the after-life concept.' > I don't doubt that you do but why should desires be enough? I might desire to believe that there are mermaids under the sea but will that make it a fact? 'I see it as a good alternative to the dust to dust concept.' > How do you 'see' it? That sounds like it's simply a baseless opinion to me. Are you seeing something that can be verified or not? 'Of course my god is not interested in standard religions per say.' > How can you know that with any degree of certainty? Others are just as certain that their god is so again how can we distinguish strong opinions from baseless delusions in a reliable way? Can you offer anything which couldn't simply be opinion? I don't think you can. We are here to exercise free will, not to pray 10 times a day for the demise of our neighbors! > How can we have any free will if a god created everything from scratch? That HAS to mean that ultimately all events are sourced by that god if you run the clock backwards to a time when there's nothing but a god. 'Those who would argue that atheists never do awful things have just not studied history enough.' > Not true. Nobody kills in the name of what they DON'T believe, only in what they do be it a god or some political ideology but atheism isn't a belief it's a lack belief in much the same way that health is not a disease it's the lack of disease. 'Indeed, the militant atheist is every bit as bad as the militant theist.' > The please justify that claim by telling me how an atheist can "militantly" not believe god claims? Can someone "militantly" not believe mermaid claims too? I thought belief was binary: you either are convinced by a claim or you aren't. I don't believe god claims myself but like mermaids for all I know there might be lots of them... but I've never heard a justifiable reason to believe there's even one. Can you offer any which doesn't smuggle in any assumptions? I rather doubt it but feel free to surprise me with just one example if I'm wrong about that & we'll see if you're smuggling in the claim that there must be a god somewhere.

@William Perrigo I absolutely love your comment. When it comes to the afterlife, I absolutely know with 100% certainty that I don't know. I feel it would be pompous for anyone to say that they did. I guess that makes me agnostic. As for militant atheist all you have to do is look at the world's top two religions, but yes even atheists can be quite ruthless. I think it's funny cuz I'm smiling at them from a distance, shaking my head. Oh yeah and what is this math stuff you talking about I like the analogy can you elaborate on that?

"Discovery of the unknown is one reason why we're not bored out of our minds!' > Yeah but the unknown can only be called the unknown & the known the known IF it can be demonstrated that it IS known rather than simply claimed to be. 'When you get to the pearly gates, you're going to feel really really stupid' > How can you know that with any degree of certainty? You can't, but you can claim it as if it's knowledge. So what? Any fool can make unsupportable claims can't he? 'but you'll still get into heaven because you used your time on Earth in a somewhat productive way.' > Again that's yet another claim you simply can't justify. I assume. (I'm not so sure of some religious people because some are not noble). > You assume a lot. I assume as little as possible. 'However, if there is no heaven, as your data with 99.99% accuracy would suggest,' > How can you gather data on something not existing? Have you got any data on the abscence of mermaids? 'then both us will be dust in the wind and it won't matter in the least.' > I guess not. 'The question is: What are you selling now?' > I'm not selling a thing. It's you who's attempting to sell claims about some god & a heaven too but you can't show that you've got anything more than claims can you? 'Or do you just want people to stand out of your light as Diogenes desired in the year 323 B.C.?' > I have no idea because I've never even heard of such a character. 'I'm not selling anything.' > Maybe not financially no but you're certainly peddling unjustified claims just like the rest of the god squad. 'There are no products to buy or songs to sing.' > The product is a place in heaven but I'm not interested in it seeing as there's no good reason to accept it's more than simply a claim. Quite frankly I don't give a damn if you don't believe! > If that were so you wouldn't have commented to try & put me right so I'm not buying that claim either. 'Just stay out of my light, that's all I care about.' > Well you jumped on me first not visa-versa so I find such a demand kind of rich coming from someone who pretends to know what's what! 'I read the book 1984 and I am therefore highly allergic to people who know better.' > You do know that Orwell was an atheist too yeah? 'Because the non-god god can be as equally dangerous of just god.' > Funny how you can't explain WHY - but I should just take that on faith too yeah?

@@Harry-zn7yb The Crusades and all the European Empires were religious terrorism at it's finest. Missionaries, ostensibly caring for suffering people, committing cultural colonialism, cultural theft. People who were suffering largely because they were being robbed by the colonial powers. Guess what? Some of them are still pissed off about that but, in fact, a much smaller percentage of terrorist attacks come from Islamic fundamentalists than come from right wing fundamentalists. We're not short of our own nut jobs.
