This is disturbing!

I came across this vid and I thought I'd share it with you lot.

All I can say is that, theists can be cruel.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

If we had more Christians like him, we wouldn't had the problem to begin with.

Just watched both vids. Jesus supposedly said 'love your neighbour as yourself' and if they (the christians) perceive atheists to be the 'enemy', then He also supposedly said: 'love your enemies', so not many people who say they are Christian, really are.
I'm preparing to be banned or admonished from a Christian website later tonight. I'd started a debate with a guy (he was either an atheist, or had a 'heretical' belief ) about evil. The problem of evil is a really difficult, but interesting topic to debate. I went to check for replies last night and my last message to him was no longer there and a moderator and an esteemed member had posted mickey taking, sarcastic comments. I'm waiting for them to clarify if he has been banned. I'll tell them a thing or two if they have.

I find this just as disturbing if not more. A fair and balanced panel on CNN no less.

Well, I decided to pm both of them as I didn't want to bring any more disrepute to the forum by challenging them in public. The moderator has banned him for his heretical belief about evil (ie God is the author of evil). I have pointed out to this moderator privately, that this topic although conroversial, has a right to be discussed if done in a balanced way. The guy was courteous etc and seemed to know his stuff. Apparently he posted a big 'cut and paste' section of this belief which the moderator had removed, which I hadn't seen. I have stressed that whatever violation he has supposedly performed, was he spoken to about this and given a chance to respond? They haven't really explained properly on the thread why he was 'removed' and I think they have acted in a bad way. I'm waiting on another message I've sent the moderator. Depending on the reply, if he maintains his position, I will ask him to delete my account.
