Morals exist outside of religion though. I might not think much of Dawkins opinions / theories, but I still think he's a decent person, and has good moral judgement.

I don't think so. All religions have morals and ethics for their followers. Even if a religion is false, at least it encourages the people to be good honest citizens. Imagine all the trouble we would have in the world if people thought they could do anything they wanted without having to feel guilty and without the fear of future punishment for their actions. Society would have descended into anarchy and we'd be lucky to even reach the dark ages. the trouble with this logic is that it is logic. How does a child molesting priest reconcile his actions with a god he truly beleives in? Why would a violent criminal 'find god' in prison, the logical conclusion is that they can expect eternal damnation as well as what ever prison time they have. We are only held to our beliefs by our own will, and we often contradict them on a whim.

I disagree, some very smart people have beleif in god, and the more I hear Dawkins bleat the less I like him.
Dawkins is blind to the fact, that if you assume (as he does) religion is the fascination of a weak / dumber / indoctrinated mind, removing religion wont actually change that mind, it wont improve anything, it just means the irrational stupid malcontent, is even less content and just as prone to violence, also the restraint of eternal punishment just went out the window.
What does Dawkins hope to achieve ? He's probably heavily invested in prozac, because unlike him and his intellectual 'company' a lot of the humans below the average IQ line aren't able to spend their time,as he does expanding their knowledge, and gaining better understanding of ourselves and the universe (ie being fulfilled), they have menial tasks to dull their minds, 40+ hours a week, their existence, their goals is simple, carry on living, and thats about all some have. Why allow Dawkins to steal from them what they find both a simple pleasure and comforting.
If you watch a movie like slumdog millionaire where people are mutilated to make better beggars, you can easily draw the conclusion that religion is just an easy excuse to splash acid in your sisters face for shaming your family, if they didn't have that excuse they'd just use another one like 'we need the money.'
Religion is just another stimulant for the mind, as is science, and all the wonderful drugs and things some find so amusing, they affect each and everyone of us differently, hence we all have our favourites.
Yes my veiwpoint has changed over time, and to me thats a good thing, who wants to think the same way for their lifetime, do I beleive in god ? No. Do I care if others want to, not really. Does that in any way condone extremist behaviour ? No.
The simple fact is there would be just as many motherfucking bastards in this world with or without religion.
PS this thread has had absolutely no impact on altering my viewpoint. And I'm fully aware of the flip flop from intelligent people believing in god and then ranting about the lower half who believe, I just CBF'ed fixing it.

I didn't think anyone was of the belief evolution would have stopped? thats just crazy. I mean how are we meant to become more godless, satan loving heathens, for god to punish at the end times unless we evolve ?
PS Get your dam dirty hands off easter, you filthy theiving christians.

i simply meant it's great your taking the responsibility seriously, and following the rules is important.
As for the rules themselves, they be an ass, imo.
I also think questioning the rules is very important, and doubt very much you blindly follow whatever rules are set before you, without analysing the aims, and effectiveness of them.
IE taking kids parents away to jail makes kids safer ?

it's great you've got your policemans hat on GOG, but seriously the law wont work.
heard of steam?
Do you really beleive as gamers get into their 30's-50's and have kids under the age limits that they will create another steam account, or make two seperate game collections? maybe they'll lock their R18 games away in a time delayed gun cabinet ?
Do you think a law made for video classification which hasn't changed much in 50 years (apart from colour and improved clarity) is applicable to game content now or future ?
Does anyone play the boogeyman game GTA x beleiving it's real life? are there people out there who aren't mentally imbalanced to begin with that are going to be made antisocial? is that a crime? isn't this law basically 'thought crime' something bad might come of it but we don't have any evidence of it, we're just making restrictions because potentially we might .... do what exactly ? save a life ? I'd like to see that hypothetical scenario.
Maybe we should ban kids from swimming in oceans, every year we lose children to drowning in the sea.
