I find this just as disturbing if not more. A fair and balanced panel on CNN no less.
What CNN was doing or what the guy was saying?
I mean I can't honestly say I'm an atheist because of the hate from fundamentalist Christians and obviously I recognise that it's the wingnuts that express the hatred rather than moderate believers but it bothers me that being Christian automatically gets some kind of respect in the media ("he was a good Christian", why not "He was a good person"?) What the hell does a religious belief have to do with being good when it's simultaneously plastered across that same media example after example of what bad things some do in the name of their religions? It also bothers me that the arguments raised by moderate theists in defence of the existence of their god do not greatly differ from those of the wingnuts.
That first video though was really, really saddening and I can only be grateful watching it that I don't live in the US.
