` The banana is perfect for human consumption because HUMANS made it that way! (Papua New Guineans in fact.) Why not check out what wild bananas are like? You might not recognize them!

Try it...simply turn the banana stem down and with your thumb and index finger pinch the end. It will spit open without much force allowing one to peal back the skin.

Long live the MONKEY GODS!!!

Realistically a banana looks and tastes the way it does due to the diligent cultivation of native peoples.

Ever see what a banana looked like BEFORE mankind had intervened? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Inside_a_wild-type_banana.jpg

So, all this video really says to me is either "We can't think of a compelling argument to believe in our god to save our life so we are going to spread pseudo-science and wrong information to cow the dumb masses" or "Man is the new God."

Well according to the bible, christianity is the same religion as OT judaism, and the OT god is the same god as the NT god.

And yes, "people have cloaked themselves" in christianity to do evil...people like...oh...i don't know....CHURCHES OF MOST MAJOR DENOMINATIONS.
The papacy is ruined in the blood of inquisitions and witch hunts and Nazism.
The guy who started Protestantism Martin Luther, was a raving mad anti-SSemite who called for all Jews to be burned alive and chased from villages.
Which grand history of christianity do you claim? So hard to pick one!

I said nothing about Genesis or the great flood. I didn't say anything to try and convince people, I was simply trying to inform, as you no doubt do with Science. Historically Judaism predates Christianity, and it was Jews who committed those acts, not Christians.

Of course there are people who have cloaked themselves in Christianity to justify their own atrocious acts since, just as those have used other ideologies like Marxism to accomplish evil.

Glad to see you are fighting back against your persecution... and abusing religion in support of your views.

Sorry if my presence here makes you feel as though you face eternal pain, anger and accusations of being amoral.

I guess two wrongs DO make a right!

So why are you here?

Why do YOU need anything else if you have god?

GET OFF MY PLANET, please.

For the record the OT was before Jesus, before Christianity (and Islam for that matter) that’s the Jewish religion of whose people committed those acts of ‘genocide’. It doesn’t matter that the people God ordered them to destroy were sacrificing their own children, rapists and such."

Sorry, this doesn't wash. There are plenty of Christians who feel the world was created as per Genesis, that a great flood wiped out a great deal of life on this planet and that Moses wandered the desert for 40 years. Sure, many don't, but OT ain't just a Jewish thing.

Atheists constantly deal with promises of eternal pain, anger and accusations of being amoral. Little wonder that many are now standing their ground and fighting back. Especially when they are met with asbolute tripe as Cameron's and Comfort's attempts to 'prove' Creationism.

I've got no problem with everybody having their own belief, yet as a science communicator it gets my goat when people abuse science in support of their views.

/That won't sit well with Bill Donahue!

Anyone smart enough to care is already smart enough to realize this on their own.

Are we really ready for peace in the world?"

Blasphemous abananaists.
C'mon you know this has nothing to do with a banana.

Are we really ready for peace in the world?

nincompoops!

The whole idea of bashing this guy's lovely little sermonette is just mean-spirited. It's not meant as something scientific. Once again, the United Atheist League jumps on the bashing bandwagon.

For the record the OT was before Jesus, before Christianity (and Islam for that matter) that's the Jewish religion of whose people committed those acts of 'genocide'. It doesn't matter that the people God ordered them to destroy were sacrificing their own children, rapists and such.

So I guess anyone who has a problem with the Old Testament needs to find some Jewish people and have a go at them.

On the short end of it, Jesus came along to clarify the law of the OT. He came along to say 1) The law is right and must be obeyed but 2) It's more important to show mercy.

eg. not unlike a traffic cop who lets you off a speeding ticket because of extenuating circumstances. Those who followed Jehova before Jesus were simply following the rules without applying discretion, without realising it was their choice all along if they executed someone according to the law or showed mercy according to what God was always after.

This is a watered down explanation for those who fear what they don't understand.
