Don't be so hurt because you don't have anything to refute his arguments.

You should change your channel to AnnDoesntAnswerTheQuestion.
Most of your response is nonsensical whitenoise. But what I'm taking you to say is that Dawkins doesn't make scientific claims about the lack of existence of god, so he hasn't achieved his aim.
Science deals with the natural world of physical objects and laws. And I take it you want him to do that?
Is god a physical being? If he is, then he is mortal, finite, not omnipotent.
Or is god metaphysically outside the universe?

In other words Dawkins HASN'T PROVED that God doesn't exist and he FAILS TO SATISFY those same standards which atheists demand of Christians full stop.

I'm not a Christian ... ( 2 days ago by asmodeus585)

I'm not a Christian but I think that atheism is definetely not for the folks. Only intelligent individuals may be true atheists, because of their own philosophical reflection, not because someone told them to. You become a religious man because you were brought up that way, but becoming an atheist requires a deep intellectual reflection and strive for creating your own moral sense, free of any social superstitions.

Religion ought to ... ( 2 days ago by asmodeus585)

Religion ought to be respected even by agnostics, because it's sth that keeps societies in order. There are only few people who can make their own morals and live by them whole life. Most of the people must be ruled in order to prevent absolute chaos and anarchy. That's why real democracy cannot exist - what we have now is only a parody - a fake realm created by the media to convince silly sheeps that they have any rights or choices. It's sad, but true.

If we didn't have ... ( 2 days ago by JEFFtheATHEIST)

If we didn't have religion, young people could study ethics instead of dogma and taboo. We would have a society with a much deeper understanding of what makes one act more or less valuable than another. I think the world would greatly improve.

As in a court of ... ( 2 days ago by lynchmobb2000)

As in a court of law, the defense does not have to say anything if it doesn't want to. The plaintiff, the side making the claim, has to prove its case.
You are the plaintiff and Dawkins is the defense. Even if Dawkins doesn't say anything, you still have not come even close to proving the positive case that there is a god and how you know.
Dawkins can just sit back, but he still mounts a powerful argument against god which you have never read.
Absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

I really don't think someone who can't answer one question, whether he supports evolution, ID or creation, should be accusing anyone of dodging.
I'm an atheist and I support evolution. My cards are on the table. You?

I'm not offended and I wouldn't be even if Dawkins had any arguments which he hasn't got and I've already shown this.

To further your point, most people (ie entire populations) do not possess the intellect needed for "true" atheism. Atheism will certainly never be a world movement or 'religion', but it will certainly gain ground for its simplicity.

Was your daddy really that mean to you?

yes.. Dawkins ... ( 1 day ago by sdrawkcabgnipytmi)

yes.. Dawkins doesn't have any arguments against god in this video.
That's because this video isn't about god or atheism. It's about why we can't intuitively understand the worlds of the very small, large, and fast.
it has absolutely nothing to do with "An atheist's call to arms"

Nonsense. I'm an ... ( 1 day ago by asmodeus585)

Nonsense. I'm an atheist, but I have my eyes still open and I know that ethics doesn't seem to be very interesting for so-called 'normal people'. Those folks are just animals, whose instincts are limited by social customs invented to keep society in order. They want to eat, drink, have sex and being a part of a group. Studying wouldn't improve anything. Intelligence is sth you are born with, you do not obtain it by reading any books.

Richard Dawkins has ... ( 1 day ago by Hitchinian)

Richard Dawkins has always been a hero of mine and watching this video any open-minded individual can see why. Dawkins is not only insanely intelligent and rational but also a necessary polarizing figure in our time. Those charlatans who seek to leech power and money from the vulnerable must be shuddering with fear and awe at the sheer supremacy of secularism and increasing support and acceptance of atheism.

Anna. I still wait ... ( 14 hours ago by mieszkochow)

Anna. I still wait for your answer concerning Bible as true Word of God.
Concerning Dawkins: can you give me any example of argument for non-existence of anything? Non-existence is not to be proved, as the saying (from the circle of Warsaw-Lvov School) goes. One can only proove that some entity is improbable or contradictory in itself, ergo it cannot exist. In our universe existence of God is highly improbable, ergo we can assume with 99% certainty that he is not up there. Heavens are empty.

Show me order in ... ( 14 hours ago by mieszkochow)

Show me order in todays Gaza and Palestina, in todays India and Norterh Ireland. Plenty of religious people, where the peace and order is? Now go to Holland and Czech Republic, go to Sweden nad Finland, no religion in school, so deeply secular and see these never ending bloody civil wars, holy wars, religious fanaticism. IN THE VERY MOMENT I AM WRITING THESE WORDS people in Gaza are killing other people in the name of their imaginary friends. Where is that ORDER?

Similarly, becoming ... ( 14 hours ago by mieszkochow)

Similarly, becoming a moral person requires deep reflection, ergo silly folk will never be moral, with or without religion.
But its nothing but a speculation. I have seen secular societies, where common folks unable to perform deep reflection are irreligious, but they see no reason to start behaving badly, only because they dont believe in spy-camera in heaven. It is a fact, crime rate is very low in eg. secular Finland or Denmark. Sam Harris' puts it clearly in Letter to a Christian Nation

The problem for Northern Ireland was a poletical problem,Indian and Pakistan Land problem and the same can be said about Palestinian and Israelis.
North Korea and South Korea,Veitnam,Cambodia,Colombia Farc Rebels,Tamel Tiger of Sri Lanka this are the few countries who went to war for their ideology, Most of them where Marxist rebels.
