Darwin never existed.

First, Jesus never existed

Second, biblical quotes are far from profound (some are quite horrifying)... the bible is not known as a literary work of art by any stretch of the imagination

You are wrong about the figures. First of all, you are grouping Jews and Christians together. Jews have won 197 Nobel prizes till now, i.e 22.4% of the total. Remember that they are just around 0.15% of the world population. A Jew is 100 times more likely than a Christian to win the Nobel Prize.

And secondly, many of the "Christian Nobel laureates" in your list are actually non-religious or atheists.

85% of Noble Prize winners are Christian or Jewish. Christians and Jews together make up only about 32% of the world population.

Blame the education system....Another 20 years and the US will be behind China, Russia, India and Brazil...never mind Europe.

Sorry but Christian universities will not cut it to lead the world in science and technology.  Do you want to see what the world looks like when religion takes over the education system?  Take a look at the Middle East.  How many Nobel Prize winners are from the Muslim countries?  That is the future the US is facing if you guys continue down this 'Christian path'.

The usually self-assured biologist, author and atheist Richard Dawkins expressed his bewilderment at the disproportionate amount of Nobel prizes won by Jews in a recent interview with the New Republic, saying he is “intrigued by” the  “phenomenally high” number of Jewish laureates.

Addressing the controversy surrounding a Tweet he wrote during the conferment of Nobel prizes earlier this month, Dawkins offered up something of a mea culpa, stating: “That was unfortunate. I should have compared religion with religion and compared Islam not with Trinity College but with Jews, because the number of Jews who have won Nobel Prizes is phenomenally high.”

Continuing, he said: “Race does not come into it. It is pure religion and culture. Something about the cultural tradition of Jews is way, way more sympathetic to science and learning and intellectual pursuits than Islam. That would have been a fair comparison. Ironically, I originally wrote the tweet with Jews and thought, That might give offense. And so I thought I better change it.”

Asked why he thought it is that Jews have won so many Nobel Prizes, Dawkins was forthright with his uncertainty.

“I haven’t thought it through. I don’t know. But I don’t think it is a minor thing; it is colossal. I think more than 20 percent of Nobel Prizes have been won by Jews.”

According to the Jewish Virtual Library, since the Nobel was first awarded in 1901 approximately 193 of the 855 honorees have been Jewish (22%). Jews make up less than 0.2% of the global population.

This year 6 of 12 laureates were Jewish. The 13th laureate, for the Nobel Peace Prize, was awarded to an organization and not an individual.

According to 100 Years of Nobel Prize (2005), a review of Nobel prizes awarded between 1901 and 2000, 65.4% of Nobel Prize Laureates, have identified Christianity in its various forms as their religious preference (423 prizes). Overall, Christians have won a total of 78.3% of all the Nobel Prizes in Peace, 72.5% in Chemistry, 65.3% in Physics, 62% in Medicine, 54% in Economics and 49.5% of all Literature awards.

Do you think I've never read the bible?

It's SHIT... worst book I've EVER read... it's horrible from cover to cover

Have you actually read the bible?  Not just what you're told in church, but actually read it from cover to cover?

No?  Then you aren't qualified to comment, are you?

Here's a random meme since I haven't posted one in this thread for a while

... to you. I'm sorry you don't have the light of the Lord in your life, but, you don't seem to care, so meh. I'm not one of those proselytizing  Christians. You pick your own path

But, alot of people in the United States would disagree with you. Doesn't invalidate your choice, but something to think about.

Christianity was not a poison belief it is by the atheist belief. Though I do believed that religion didn't give any good help to anyone, instead giving confusion to anybody. Also it is a mysterious thing sometimes

These are just crazy heads, they fuck it up for every organization (read: Islamic terrorists, hyper conservative evangelicals, etc). I can't promise you, mop bashery is not part of the Good Book. But, it makes for a great clip.

The most extreme elements of an organization are usually the definition of said organization, to those with little knowledge of the true ideology of the organization. I see it on CNN and Fox, it's a fault of rhetoric.Its not partisan, I mean. Religions are full of rhetoric, same.principles apply. Jesus was the best rhetorician that has walked the Earth, it would be dishonest to deny this.

Could someone please explain to me what is going on in these videos?

Since when do christian pastors bash their congregation in the face with a mop?

Wrong. Some Christians are Catholic. Catholic talks about Christ, but definitely doesn't save anyone except incidentally. Therefore, Catholic is not Christian.

Partially there is the right information, but it is then specifically introduced there so that people think that this is true. But many do not want to be slaves to religion and face the truth.

Actually, this statement is false. You can compare many aspects of life with what is written in the Bible, or the Koran, and see that the books are accurate to some extent. When the accuracy is sufficient for you in the areas you understand are true, you might assume that the whole book is true.

In fact, many of the prophecies from these books have been fulfilled, about the future, Jesus, Jews etc.
The Bible has correctly explained evolution, creation of the universe, everything.
For example, in the Bible you can read that God first created universe, than sun, earth, water, animals...
People wrote it 5-6 000 years ago, much before scientists discovered the same things.
Isn't it proof that Bible is inspired by God?
