What is the Atheist Experience?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin, a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

Indonesia is home to the world's largest Muslim population. But while over 85 percent of Indonesians are Muslim, Indonesia also has large Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist communities, which are protected under the constitution by freedom of religion. But now, life is becoming increasingly difficult for another of Indonesia's minority religious groups, the Ahmadis. The Ahmadis are an Islamic sect, but face discrimination from hardline Islamic groups, who have recently attacked their mosques and sympathizers. Here's more:
STORY:
At Jakarta's national monument earlier this ay, a hardline Islamic group beat up and injured participants of a peaceful rally calling for tolerance of the Ahmadis, or followers of the Islamic sect Ahmadiyya.
[Sumarto, Ahmadiyya Follower]:
"We pray here even more intensely because we have been treated unjustly."
Indonesia's top religious council has declared Ahmadiyya a deviant sect, and hardline groups want them banned. And the Indonesian Vice president Jusuf Kalla has imposed restrictions on its followers.
[Jusuf Kalla, Vice President of Indonesia]:
"They can practice in their mosque. The only thing, they cannot do is preach to others."
Observers say freedom of religion in Indonesia is being tested. Last week, a ministerial decree warned that Ahmadis could face five yils in jail for quote 'tarnishing religion,' but it stopped short banning the sect altogether.
Liberal Indonesians slammed the government's decision, saying it had caved in to pressure from Islamic hardliners. The hardline groups also represent a small minority of Indonesians, but use violence to make their voices heard.
And now the Ahmadis are worried about a backlash from hardline groups.
Ahmadiyya has about 200 million followers around the world, 500,000 of which are in Indonesia. Members of the group have often been the target by Islamic hardliners in other countries, including Bangladesh and Pakistan, and now, increasingly in Indonesia.(mehr)(weniger)

Why is something so imaginary that much of a threat to you? It's like your fighting somebody elses ghosts.

Because this delusion drives psychotic nuts to kill or hinder scientific and medical progress. That's why we care. We want a safer and more advanced world free of a hate generating, science fearing, bullshit system of lies infesting society. I don't ever wanna see or hear you question that again. Remember it.(mehr)(weniger)

Is this the answer, anybody see a problem with this? Sound off please!!! All things to all people - He plugs his book at the end of the video (not shown), he slides that in but forgets about mentioning the true gospel. Watch (portion below credited to) http://www.sliceoflaodicea.com "...carefully again, and you will see where Rick Warren is taking evangelicals. His beliefs about pluralism explain why he can go to Jewish synöncegues and never mention the name of Christ, or appear at secular conferences or shows like "Cmdy Centrl" -omitted- and never once mention Jesus and the way of eternal salvation. He's content to let them believe what they want, he'll believe what he wants, while we meanwhile all hold hands, talk endlessly about "God" smiling down on us as we fulfill our purposes and work to solve the world's problems. (Not, of course, the problem of eternal damnation of souls who are lost without Jesus Christ. I am not sure Rick even believes this any longer. You cannot believe in the Gospel and believe that Christ is the only way to heaven, and fail to share it with so many who are on their way to hell.)(mehr)(weniger)

This is during the LBJ Future Forum on May 14, 2007, at the LBJ Library and Museum in Austin, Texas.
http://lbjfutureforum.org/events/events_details.cfm?ID=110
After a debate with Marvin Olasky, Christopher Hitchens responds to a question from audience member Craig Estes.
Hitchens sums up Blaise Pascal's wager with this memorable imagery:
"Religious hucksterism of the cheapest, vulgarest, nastiest kind it's possible to imagine. He says, 'What have you got to lose? I've got a good offer for you. Come into my used car lot. Come on baby, just lie a little, and you never know!' No, don't talk to me like that, and don't call it piety when you do, or be prepared to have piety despised."(mehr)(weniger)
