Saw this via Kottke, then it was picked up by Boing Boing.
Kottke's commentary:
Also: the obviously fake background in the video makes me laugh. HARD.
Kottke's commentary:
Not that this guy cares or whatever, but the modern banana is a cultivated fruit...i.e. pressured by humans to, oh what's the word...evolve into its present form. And other varieties of bananas are smaller or larger and differently shaped. Some wild bananas have large hard seeds. I could go on....No, the real atheist's nightmare is why are so many of them nice people? I'm pretty sure I'm an atheist myself, but I don't have a decent answer to that question...If no one's judging you, and there's no afterlife in which you might be rewarded for being a good person, why aren't we all just completely selfish assholes?

"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich"
ReplyDeleteIt's my all time favorite quote on religion.
So what stops us? We're still under their jurisdiction.
That's a good one.
ReplyDeleteIf I was forced to sum up my thoughts about religion, I'd say it's simply a means to "answer" the questions that science can't address yet. But we'll get there. Give us another hundred years or so.
