The arogance of youth is something I find utterly disdainful... we're all such idiots when we're young. [Spirituality & Religion]

I watch this show called The Big Questions on BBC1 most Sunday mornings. It's hosted by Nicky Campbell. He & the audience discuss important issues around society & faith. This morning one of the questions was 'is death easier if your u believe in God'

After one lady who is dying of cancer spoke so beautifully about her faith, & another spoke eloquently of her humanist beliefs up pops this spotty little imbecile who's only contribution was to say that anyone who has faith is deluded, while parroting Dawkins. The bloody cringe!

Lock them all in a cupboard till they're thirty. It's the only way around it I reckon.

Maybe it takes the audacity of youth to keep people on their toes and checking their own beliefs...

@Luminescence: others had had a perfectly reasonable conversation, believers & non-believers. He didn't contribute any of his own thoughts

@Sonnet: I agree that some young people think they know everything, but it's often because of their passion. You don't want to stifle that, because it's that passion that motivates them. Challenge them and criticise them, but don't stop them, because as you already know they'll grow out of it. And if they don't get that chance to be thwarted, then they'll be a 50 year old still parroting the same beliefs. Give them a chance to grow.

@Luminescence: Yes, splendid. But I can loath it in the meantime 😂

@Sonnet: You can! It's always entertaining. Loathe away. 😊
