The one about polygraph tests was the most eye opening to me, showing how it's really just an interrogation tool rather than an actual "lie detector." The operator asks questions and when the machine indicates elevated stress levels they focus in on that and start accusing of lying and hiding things to get you to confess.
>If atheists weren't cowards they would kill themselves so they could perform their precious scientific method and validate their theories.
Most of us will, eventually, one way or another. When we've had enough of whatever good stuff life has to offer. Not waiting for pie in the sky when we die.
Considering atheists as a percent of world population will shrink, its not looking good. Maybe try having some children instead of being childless homosexuals.

I genuinely enjoyed this show for it being versatile and not just left wing slop. It actually went into taboo subjects in an interesting way. Adam Ruins Everything failed at this same thing probably because Adam is an extremely unlikable douche bag and Penn is at least not that insufferable.
This has been memory holed, but it used to be the idea that vaccines caused autism and this idea was something that was promoted by mainstream news organizations.
vaccines are so effective morons like you believe they dont need them because literally 95%+ of the population gets vaccinated and in turn protects YOU
measles? not a problem anymore
polio? eradicated (in the west, that vaccinated heavily)
rabies? not a thing in developed countries because we vaccinated wildlife (yes, thats a thing)
but some random, extremely moronic idiot on Cinemaphile with knowledge off of fricking telegram knows better, ofc
Measles and polio declined by more than 98% BEFORE the vaccines were introduced and the downward trends simply continued as they had been for many years prior. The vaccines didn't eradicate those diseases.
The data from those graphs I posted is all cited and comes from official sources.

im not even gonna respond to your crap data and shitty picture you cant even read the source from
no im not gonna be assed to type that shit into google and make my own graph just to set you straight, pic rel is official CDC data and it doesnt even line up with your crap
either provide a credible source with a link or frick off with your tiny ass pics from telegram
yes we also developed sanitation technologies alongside our understanding of bacteria and viruses, amongst other things. often all these discoveries complimented each other.
People don't realise this but there is no meaningful difference between ideology (which practically all atheists who aren't nihilists subscribe to) and religion. You just remove the angels and demons. It doesn't help that religious studies professors aren't in agreement on how to best define religion.
if you need the threat of pain hanging over you as the only driving force stopping you being a c**t then you're an awful person and are the reason human societies have to come up with so many bullshit systems of control.
just stick with religion if thats whats keeping you from being an butthole. from my perspective it doesn't matter as long as you aren't out raping and murdering people.
It's more that people want to believe that bad things happen to people who deserve it.
Here's a thought. Why do you want to live in a society that punishes criminals? Surely if you need a deterrent to keep you or the people around you from committing crimes then you must be by your own logic an awful person.
overall, you're not that smart. I suggest starting with the Greeks
because it's not meaningless to the people experiencing it at the time is it. you can be a kind person in spite of a belief that we're the unfortunate product of whatever processes that have dragged us into consciousness.

Why does it matter if you can empathize with others, it’s no more a survival trait than claw or spikes in a random universe of pure survival
In fact empathy is often a weakness in that sense
Why shouldn’t I do whatever whim crosses my mind at any time for any reason and why is it morally superior to do so

Is there a value to empathy other than survival for survival’s sake, and if so why

uhh no that's just a basic understanding of how force can manifest irl. liberal democracies aren't telling you to not murder because god, they're telling you not to because it's a c**t thing to do.
>uhh no that's just a basic understanding of how force can manifest irl.
what? > liberal democracies aren't telling you to not murder because god, they're telling you not to because it's a c**t thing to do.
Christians also tell you to not murder because it is an evil/sinful/c**t thing to do. You are not getting any smarter.
If you want to live in a society that punishes criminal behavior then you are by your own logic an awful person. But what I'm trying to say is that it's more complicated than that as people generally want evil to be punished not as a deterrent but because people generally believe the evil should be punished for being evil. Not just a deterrent.
>But what I'm trying to say is that it's more complicated than that as people generally want evil to be punished not as a deterrent but because people generally believe the evil should be punished for being evil. Not just a deterrent.
to pull it back a bit from general internet argument territory, i apologise in that my original post wasn't meant to imply all religious people are only doing good things out of a fear of punishment, only that the argument that you have to have a religious background or belief in order to have a moral code is ridiculous. there are many many good people from all religions and i am myself agnostic.

If religion just means belief in deities then sure I agree (even though there are religions that do not prescribe belief in deities like certain sects of Buddhism), but I don't personally see a meaningful difference between the average non-nihilist atheist (the vast majority of atheists) and theists. The values are still there, whether they stand on firm grounding or not. The only way to not have values (which necessitate devaluing the things that don't conform to said values) is to be a nihilist

The one about fingerprints is the reason I will never use a fingerprint scanner on any device I own.
Yeah, biometric security is bad.

What is good stuff in life? have you had it yet? When do you think you'll feel fulfilled?
lmao, we need to live so we can convince your children to abandon god
Considering atheists as a percent of world population will shrink, its not looking good. Maybe try having some children instead of being childless homosexuals.
Lol dumb frick. Secularism is still on the rise while you homosexual cultists are dying out because of your rejection of reality.
Penn is comfy af.

they just had a lolberg bias instead of the usual lefty bias
this, they're libertarians, not republicans or democrats.
>implying defending the 2nd amendment is a bad thing
Penn has really cucked out lately though
this is the first video that comes up on youtube lol
hmm
This has been memory holed, but it used to be the idea that vaccines caused autism and this idea was something that was promoted by mainstream news organizations.
no it was the british tabloid press running complete shit based on the ramblings of one moron surrounding the rollout of the mmr vaccine in schools.
At best, vaccines don't actually do anything. At worst, vaccines make the problem worse.

not the vaxxes in question, dipshit
but measles are coming back because illegal aliens come in without any vaccination history

Describe this experience, like what did they tell you the point of life was, or why you should act good and not bad

What is good and why should I do it if it doesn’t benefit me
just stick with religion if thats whats keeping you from being an butthole. from my perspective it doesn't matter as long as you aren't out raping and murdering people.

Why do you care what I or anyone else does, it’s all random and meaningless isn’t it

Raping is on par with being trapped in involuntary celibacy. They cancel each other out, morally.

It's threads like these that make me wish philosophy was mandatory on the curriculum
Militant atheism is the most cringe religion of them all
