Atheism

He’s at it again. This time saying far worse than the last comments he made. He goes on to call Atheist’s  “idiots” and continues to question our “moral barometer”. Likewise, I would question anyone who got their morals from that book of his. He also seems to be in need of a serious lesson on evolution, exclaiming: “…and then we we’re evolved from monkeys. Why we still got monkeys?”. He goes on to add that when he is introduced to an Atheist, he just walks away. Walks away without attempting to have an intelligent conversation and without trying to understand the other sides point of view. And with that, he may have answered his own question. That is, at least, why we still have monkey-brained idiots, otherwise known as, Steve Harvey.

The audio is horrible so there’s a transcription of the video below, not done by me:

JB: … making people laugh is a great thing…

SH: It’s a… it’s an amazing blessing from God, it really is.

JB: … which reminds me, speaking of God. You say in the book that, uh, you wouldn’t go out with a woman… I guess a woman should not go out with a man who doesn’t believe in God.

SH: Nah, I mean why would you?

JB: Well… well, do you believe that only people who are religious are ethical and moral?

SH: No, I just believe that if you don’t believe in God, then where’s your moral barometer? That’s just me talking…

JB: … I understand you, yeah…

SH: … you can believe what you want to believe, but if you’re an atheist you’re basing your goodness and morality on what? I mean, but what is an atheist? I don’t… I don’t really get into that. You know why? I’ve talked to people all the time– “I’m an atheist!”—I just walk away. I don’t know what to say to you, you know?

JB: Well, an atheist is someone who doesn’t quite believe in… that there is somebody out there… some “God” out there.

SH: Well, then to me you’re an idiot…

JB: Okay, well…

SH: … so I’m cool with that—

JB: But—

SH: I’m, I’m just–

JB: –that’s fine–

SH: –probably not the right ‘politically correct’–

JB: –Nonono–

SH: –thing to say, but if you don’t believe in God, then really you’ve got to have an explanation for this, and you just can’t tell me this spun out of a gastreous ball–

JB: Yeah.

SH: –then all of a sudden then we were evolved from monkeys—why we still got monkeys? There’s too much open here. I just believe that, and if you don’t believe that, then I don’t like talking to you.

JB: I see, okay. Listen—listen—it’s fine with me—

SH: Can you say it on ol’ Larry King?

JB: You can say it on any show–

SH: Okay, okay, okay…

JB: ‘Cause it’s a free country, thank goodness.

SH: It is.

the-atheist-e-copy

On April 26th, the New York times published an article (see below) showcasing Atheists and the recent influx of people willing to come out of the closet on the subject and that is the inspiration for this blog. It’s wonderful that this has been a hot topic as of late and I think more and more people need to be open about it. It’s not so much of a problem out here in Los Angeles where most people are pretty open about who or what they are and don’t seem to have many problems regarding their statuses but I constantly hear stories, mostly from the bible belt (go figure) about how Atheists are continually Read the rest of this entry »

This past Sunday, FOX debuted their new prime time animated sitcom, Sit Down, Shut Up, a new show from Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of the brilliant and short lived Arrested Development. Does this new show come close to the genius of that show? In short, no.

The show follows the quirky lives of a quirky staff of teachers at a high school. It had it’s moments and it made me chuckle from time to time but it is far from perfect. One thing it was, though, was surprisingly anti-creationist and sorta Atheist friendly. There was a Salmon Rushdie joke for goodness sake. That also is something that worries me about this show. From time to time it was a little too oddly Read the rest of this entry »

Christopher Hitchens, one of the most famous, most outspoken and without a doubt, most abrasive anti-theists out there has been immensely busy lately. He’s been on the circuit debating seemingly any theologian that he can and even just recently had a most heated exchange with Mos Def on Real Time with Bill Maher. (See below)

Now it seems that he is shopping around a documentary based on Read the rest of this entry »

There seems to be an on-going theme with Korean films, priests and Vampires lately. According to the Hollywood Reporter, prominent Atheist actor Paul Bettany is in negotiations to play the title character in PRIEST, based off of a Korean Read the rest of this entry »

I know Steve Harvey as a comedian. Mostly as one of the famed “Original Kings of Comedy”. Actually the only one of the group that I found legitimately funny was the late and great Bernie Mac, with Cedric the entertainer a close second.

Now, apparently Mr. Harvey is making the rounds on television promoting his book on relationships. What makes him an authority on relationships is beyond me but a lot people write books on all sorts of subjects all the time, whether they have the credentials to do so or not. That’s not my issue.

If you watch this clip starting from the 5:57 mark you will see Read the rest of this entry »
