Richard Dawkins Is a Religious Idiot - Morals Explained

0:00 I watched a few videos of Richard Dawkins some months ago. It's quite funny how he talks against religion so much, but at the same time follows morals, which were created by religions. When you question people about morals, 99% will right away mention doing something harmful to a child as an example of a general wrong. That is programming. A child is a human being who has grown less than an adult. Essentially what you're saying is that it's immoral to harm a human being who has ate less food, which is what causes growth, compared to a human who has ate more, which is an adult. It's an absolutely man-made belief. Morals are inconsistent and illogical.

[video] 0:47 But also I think scientific facts can illuminate moral debate in the case of abortion again for example, a scientist might contribute to the debate information about at what point during the development of an embryo the nervous system comes into being and presumably before the nervous system comes into existence there is no ability to feel pain or to suffer and so maybe something important happens at the moment when the nervous system comes into being. On the other hand you might say well Even when a human embryo develops a nervous system and develops the capacity to perhaps suffer, it's still a much smaller nervous system than the nervous system of an adult cow. And so what about balancing the suffering of a human embryo against the suffering of an adult cow when it's being slaughtered for meat?

1:33 I had to speed up the clip because he talks incredibly slow. Of course humans care about abortions, embryos, because it's essentially about killing yourself. That's our natural instinct. It has nothing to do with man-made morals, especially nowadays with the depopulation agenda, Planned Parenthood, Comparing that to eating a cow for meat, when it's our natural instinct to hunt and eat meat, is absolutely ridiculous. You're comparing nature to man-made beliefs.

[video] 2:09 An absolutist moralist would say, well, humans are just plain special, and cows are not human, so they don't deserve the same moral consideration. But a scientist might come along and say, well, what do you mean by that? I mean, we are, after all, all evolved. We're all cousins. At what point would you, at what point in the evolution of, since we know evolution is a fact, at what point in the evolution of... Wow.

2:31 This is exactly how you can tell if somebody is religious. When they call their beliefs a fact, a fact is something that you sense, that you know, as in you go outside, you see that the sky is blue, and let's say you write it down, you give it to somebody else, they read it and all that they can do is believe you. All of history is a belief. Evolution is a completely religious belief, seeing as it has zero proof. It's like the story about a guy called Jesus. This guy is a modern religious priest.

[video] 3:07 So you mentioned the progress, the moral progress we've made in relation to sexism and racism. My question is, well, for me, the greatest injustice facing the Western world right now is our treatment and exploitation of non-human animals.

3:30 That's obviously wrong because plants don't have over 50 nutrients. It's our natural diet. It's the same as saying that a lion or a wolf doesn't need to eat meat. It makes no sense at all.

[video] 3:40 We are slaves!

[video] 3:54 I already made a video about slavery, I will link it in the description, but it's completely natural for stronger animals to dominate over others.

[video] 4:21 I am not vegan. I am struggling to become so. And in my cooking at home, I am vegetarian. But when I go out to dinner, I don't go out of my way to say I won't eat meat.

4:37 There you go, a completely brainwashed slave. How can you listen to this guy? How can you possibly take any advice from him? He doesn't even understand that plants don't have over 50 nutrients. That's super easy to find out. Of course, you should not promote a meatless diet. Oh, I'm trying to be vegan, but I'm struggling. You're struggling because it's malnutrition and you understand it. You've got to go completely against your senses to go vegan. Oh, but I am vegetarian most of the time.

[video] 5:11 What?

5:16 There's tons of cases of children killing adults, beating up other children. When the parents find out and they harm the children, who harmed their child. That's a natural response. It's called revenge. If you don't do it, then you may become depressed because you would literally not let it out. We do this to feel safe, for example. Any animal would do this. Their so-called age is completely irrelevant. A few years ago, there was this report of a guy who grew up in the Vietnamese jungle. He lived there for around 40 years. When children threatened him, even if they may have been joking around, he hit them and felt no emotions, as if he did something wrong, nothing whatsoever. The people around him said that he doesn't know the difference between good and bad. And that's simply because morals don't come naturally. They are taught by humans.

6:50 It's gone.

7:33 Bye.
