    This man is a gem. We must all look forward to the day when academia is once again dominated by scholars like him, scions of long study and disciplined reflection who invite complexity and elicit contradiction and question, instead of the carping, trivializing propagandists and proselytizers who control it today…

    Being an Indian and Hindu, Arvind Sharma should've talked about Hinduphobia in the West and should've mentioned conferences by Christian and Islamic groups to Eliminate Hinduism. But toeing the line of Abrahamic faiths and leaving dharmic systems like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism behind is what a brown sepoy would do. After all, UN mentions islamophobia, anti-semitism even Christian-phobia as crimes but never Hinduphobia or Buddhism-phobia, only because they're not Abrahamic. There is systematic oppression and bias against dharmic faith systems by Abrahamic systems in all International Institutions, Organisations, and groupings. Nobody seems concerned about Hindu women's abduction and forced conversion and marriages to old Muslim men in Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Their lands are looted and they are raped, paraded naked in public but no talk in the international community.No talk because they're not Abrahamic, who cares.

    What about this? No mention of this while Wiki is perverted with your quotes. It's called the 69 weeks prophecy, found in the book of Daniel. It proves you wrong. Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Nehemiah 2:1-2 (NKJ) "And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before. Therefore, the king said to me 'why is your face sad, since you are not sick.'" Nehemiah 2:11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. 12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. 13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire. 14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass. 15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned. 16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work. 17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. Nehemiah 6:15 15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. Matthew 27:50 When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

    As I understand it, OT8 was modified from Hubbard announcing himself as a god to something much more banal, namely that you have discovered who you are not. There was a video made where an ex-homo novis describes how it was Miscavige that made the change because OT8 was too weird, even for the Xenu crowd. In the video the person talks about how Miscavige handed the new and improved version of OT8 to a guinea pig and carefully monitored the reaction to see whether the new version was acceptable. If you ask the question at tonyortega.or about why OT8 was changed someone knowledgeable may answer.

    How can anybody be so stupid as to believe in a so-called loving and merciful God that produces earthquakes and plagues??? The worst alienated among believers, and the religious crooks who manipulate them and prompt them the «answers », will tell then you, as I have often heard, that god is then punishing us for our sins ! But why does god punish innocent people, babies, why does not he lash at himself for having created such an imperfect creature as Man?! That is a mystery that only the simplistic and childish understanding of the believer can swallow, for reasons explained hereunder !!! ABOUT THE RELIGIOUS BELIEF IN A PERSONAL GOD : Such a believer is a person who has remained emotionally a child ; who is afraid of becoming an adult, and therefore invents (or ratifies) for himself/herself, when he/she comes out of childhood, a superior entity that created him/her, justifies, protects, guides and judges him/her, (keeps him/her company, sort of !), thereby re-creating and furthering the image of his/her parents & community... He/she is frightened to think by himself/herself, frightened to be « abandoned » in that infinite universe, which is in fact indifferent to our accidental presence, as if was to that of the dinosaurs, masters of this planet 65M years ago, and yet disappeared. The « spiritual » quest for a personal god consists in creating for oneself a symbolical father (god) or mother (the paradise after death, the return to the womb), and more generally a virtual family/social environment, very rarely personal and original but rather conforming to social rules and traditions. THE BELIEVER IN A PERSONAL GOD TRIES TO HUMANIZE THE UNIVERSE IN SUCH A CHILDISH AND ANTHROPOMORPHIC WAY. Such a religious believer is terrorized at the idea of being set free, of being left alone, (hence the emphasis put on superficial and mimetic group activities where one thinks as little as possible, where one apes each other !) ; he/she longs for a master/protector, even at the price of becoming a slave, he/she sells his/her soul to god, as a prostitute to her pimp, except that, here, the « protection » and « attentions » are completely imaginary! He/she is the best support for all despots on this planet, necessary delegates of an invented god, which one obviously never sees or hears, except during the short visit of some delirious or cunning impostor: it is not without reason that, wherever religions are strong, despots bloom: the Al Assad, Khadafi, Moubarak and other Hitlers (a roman catholic according to « Mein Kampf », who in fact simply put in operation the recommendations given during 20 centuries of anti-jewish propaganda by the catholic church!), Pinochet or Staline (after 10 centuries of orthodox obscurantism in Russia) . Religious and political manipulators take advantage of that situation and take care of constantly re-inforcing the believer’s alienation, through physical threats, dissuasion, censorship or sophistry of the most varied kinds. "God" allows the believer to shun unpleasant existential questions and the problem of assuming one’s freedom, all questions finding their answer in « the sacred book » ! Esotericism (sufism for example) can even make him/her regress to the foetal stage ; the essential and vital point being never to lose sight of the divine teddy bear, substitute for the transitional object, so as to avoid an unbearable anguish, comparable to the state of a drug addict deprived of his drug. Religion likes to adorn itself with the feathers of morality, in order to pretend to a value and usefulness which it has not, in fact : as if morality was of divine origin ! But morality is but the law (possibly changing) that allows the survival of the group (whether it be the tribe, the nation or, nowadays, the whole of mankind. Morality is the equivalent for society to the survival instinct of the individual: • "Thou shall not kill" because, in a group, when one starts murdering, through the effect of reprisal, the whole group will destroy itself. • prohibition of incest, because our ancestors have observed the results of inbreeding: animals also instinctively try and avoid inbreeding, enemy of biodiversity. • Altruism and solidarity are encouraged, because, in a critical situation, one is stronger collectively than alone ; altruism does also exist among animals…- etc, etc... To sum it up, reason explains all that very well, and god is indeed a superfluous ingredient, in fact, god is a harmful ingredient, since it is a formidable tool of manipulation of fools and ignorants : religions are but an instrument for keeping mankind in a childish and dependent state! The atheist is widely as « moral » as the believer! In fact, he thinks more and better than the believer : philosophy, science and art are sufficient to him.

    @AR333 your comment is severely lacking logic: If you "object" for instance that "evolution is ipso facto unintentional'", then there is no objection at all to the cited statement [you are quite simply confirming the rightness of the used attribute »unintentional«]. The other "objection" lacks content [there is no palpable substance in propositions like "this has been thoroughly discredited"]..

    As a student at McGill and an atheist, I found this lecture to be severely lacking. For one thing he sneaks in low-blows every now and then such as "Darwin's *doctrine* of evolution". Also, his point at 38:30 about reason being an "unintentional byproduct of evolution" is flawed on many levels. First, evolution is ipso facto unintentional. Second, his reformulation of Plantinga's argument of reason coming from "unreason" is extremely unconvincing, and has been thoroughly discredited.
