RE: I implore you, please watch this video!

You've got an interesting take on the video @yogidarshan. Thank you for taking the time to spell it out.

You are right that the start of the video contains a lot of praise and thanks for the organizers of the event. The talk itself starts at the 3:40 mark, for anyone wishing to skip the first part.

The speaker doesn't "barbarously throws the women out of the stage" as you put it. He just makes a joke.

Most of the talk is given in a humorous/cynical/sarcastic fashion. Am I correct in thinking English isn't year first language? Some subtleties in intonation might be difficult for you to hear in that case, whereby one can fail te understand what is being said. For instance, the speaker obviously does not seem to think that everything is perfect. He is paraphrasing the contents of the bible in such a way that points out the utter idiocy of the whole Abrahamic Religious story.

He also adds information that we've learned since the bible and its reality claims was first published. Like the stuff about the subatomic particles and the age of the universe, thereby bolstering the argument that the story of the bible is extremely unlikely, if not impossible.

I think he does an excellent job in pointing out the absurdity of the whole Christian God story. And if that is not a contribution to our understanding of the world and ourselves, something immensely valuable, I don't know what is.

As for your question on how to create a good religion, personally, I don't think it's very likely. Mostly because religions tend to stagnate in dogmatic thinking. More science is what we need. More rationality and good explanations are called for if we truly wish to learn about ourselves and the reality we live in.

You think the earth is flat? That is all I need. I'm sorry, but I won't be conversing with you anymore. I wish you the best. Good day.
