Chopra on O’Reilly: Says Atheist Dawkins Uses His Scientific Credentials to ‘Camouflage His Bigotry’

Deepak Chopra on Bill OReilly Says Atheist Richard Dawkins He Uses His Scientific Credentials to Mask His BigotryDuring an interview on Fox News’ “O’Reilly Factor,” Bill O’Reilly and guest, spiritual self-help guru Deepak Chopra, discussed religion and spirituality, particularly as it relates to staunch atheists like Richard Dawkins.

O‘Reilly juxtaposed Chopra’s new book, “War of the Worldviews: Science vs. Spirituality” to Dawkins‘ recently released children’s book on evolution, “The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True.”

At one point in the interview Chopra, agreeing with O’Reilly, accused Dawkins of being emotionally reactive and of hiding behind his scientific credentials to “camouflage his bigotry.”

Mediaite adds:

“So what do you say to a guy like Dawkins?” O’Reilly wanted to know, before asking if Chopra had ever spoken with Dawkins face-to-face. “Oh, yes,” Chopra replied. “He ambushed me when I was at Oxford. He used a subterfuge. Channel 4 called me, said ‘We want to do an interview,’ I went to the interview… and it was him!”

O’Reilly had one question: “Why didn’t you kick his butt?”

Chopra later added that he believes Dawkins uses his scientific credentials to “mask his bigotry.” The men also agreed that Dawkins (and presumably others of his stripe) often resorts to — highly unscientific — emotional responses to discussions rather than simply relying on fact and logic.

    I really rather pity Mr. Dawkins. He is like most of the OWS people in that he only wants to allow his views and won’t even consider others even thought they are reasonable. Listening to him speak is like finger nails on a chalk board.

      The more advanced science gets and the more we know how advanced and intelligent everything is put together, the less likely it is that the universe is just some accident started by nothing. Darwinist atheism is like paganism. The more we know the dumber it is.

      @joe “oh I thought the atheists, who ALWAYS think they’re the smartest people around, would realize that people are fallen and sinful….we’re not all perfect like you atheists are.”

      Pretty presumptive statement. Another great example of black and white thinking by a bible thumper. Plenty of holier than though faithful as well. Not to mention what you said about people are “fallen and sinful.” That is severely a christian sentiment. In Jewish perspective we do not accept ourselves as full of sin, and especially not from birth. We may sin but as I said, we don’t accept it! We acknowledge every year that although we have tried our best not to sin, we are not perfect and we do sin at times. At Rosh Hashannah you throw your sins away and ask for forgiveness and pledge to make the effort to be better than the year before.
      Christian and muslim= sinning and death Judasim = Personal improvement and life. There are lots and lots and lots of atheist that do not by any means consider themselves anywhere close to perfect. Ridiculous

      Dawkins has hit upon a pretty nice gig, really, if you think about it.

      He makes pretty good money and is treated by a celebrity, called upon as an expert witness to preach to the itching ears of liberals.

      And he does not really have to put much work or intelligence into what he says. He has an arsehole sort of character/personality and he just has to make up a few not so clever sayings and he has it in the bag with 19% of the US citizens.

      Pretty nice gig and fairly easy money.

    I am a Christian. I have four years of Undergraduate education in Chemistry, and Biology, and seven years of post-graduate education in science, and have spent the last 20 years in a science related career. I have no animosity towards atheists. That is their choice. What I find difficult to understand is the intense anger that atheist have towards people of faith. Is there some explainable rational thought behind their animosity, or is it something outside of themselves that drives them, but they have no understanding of that force.

You really think that your approach will convince a proclaimed atheist to change his mind? Secular just shared why he drifted away from his faith, as many do from time to time in their struggles to find roots for their belief. For some people, it takes a long time to get there. Their path is not your path, and to ridicule someone for their struggles is decidedly un-Christian. His/her experience with Christians who do not ‘walk the walk’ is all too common. Unfortunately, you exhibited some of that behavior today in your response. Why don’t you act Christian seek some forgiveness for your rash response? Or are you so firm in your belief that its your way or the highway that you don’t have the courage to examine your own behavior and make a change to be more like the Christ you claim to follow?

      The Bible states that there is a measure of faith unto all men. That means that men cannot separate the GOD or Spirit side of their being. Most atheists have issues with Chrisitanity because it states absolute right and wrong. The Bible condemns premarital sex, extramarital sex, sex with children, homosexual sex, sex with animals, theft, robbery, adultery, murder, false witness, liars, and so forth. These are thing people no days like to do and they dont want to be condemned for it. They want unhindered praise and acceptance for their actions. Since Christians will not capitulate to this whim the atheist and some pagan religions, attempt to alay their guilt by clamining there is no god. Some, like Dawkins, have become so militant that they fabricate evidence under the guise of science to back their claims. I guarantee that if there was no money in atheism Dawkins would be totally unheard of. Either way he is irrelevant. He is not going to change my mind. The Bible also says the only the fools says there is no GOD.

    In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation for Easter and Passover holidays and decided to contact his lawyer about the “discrimination inflicted“ on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while the atheists had no holiday to celebrate. The case was brought before a wise judge who after listening to the long, passionate presentation of his lawyer, promptly banged his gavel and declared, “Case dismissed!”

    The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, “Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? Surely the Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. And the Jews — why in addition to Passover they have Yom Kippur and Hanukkah… and yet my client and all other atheists have no such holiday!”

    The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said “Obviously your client is too confused to know about or to celebrate the atheists’ holiday!“ The lawyer pompously said ”We are aware of no such holiday for atheists, just when might that be, your honor?”
    The judge said
    “Well it comes every year on exactly the same date– April 1st!”

      Okay, first things first.
      Wikipedia defines ‘cult’ as the following:
      “…in current popular usage usually refers to a group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre.”

      Your statement is immediately invalidated because Atheists have no ritualized beliefs or practices.

      Christianity, however, features a ritual wherein you symbolically eat the flesh and drink the blood of a Jewish zombie while telepathically saying you accept him as your master. Sounds a little bizarre to me.

      Good question justin. Let me take a crack at it. First off, I have plenty of atheist friends. None of them to my knowledge are blood-thirsty. I do believe however that they tend to be mostly pro-choice. Not that they would call themselves pro-abortion. They do get irritated with that label. However, still, I think that them being pro-choice does lead to more abortions but that is a side issue.

      The other issue of being blood thirsty would apply to the infamous atheists that we are familiar with. Not that that means anything much, but it is true, historically, that the worst mass murderers were mostly atheists. Especially if you count just the numbers of people killed. Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and I would also includ Hitler in that category, granted that that statement would be more debatable.

      However, in wrapping things up, I would not say that US atheists are correctly labeled generally blood thirsty. But then, they are just as wrong if not more so if the call Christians blood-thirsty or war mongerers, which they do tend to claim more frequently than I like.

    Deepak Chopra is an idiot. I meet him at a conference in Sarasota, Fl. back in about 1990. We had lunch together and then went back to the conference. Deepak Chopra started talking about how different species “sees” things; Humans see in the color spectrum from 390 nm to 750 nm, snakes see heat, etc, etc, and then he said, “Bees see Honey”. I about dropped to the floor. Bees see Honey??? No, Bees have a completely different way of seeing things. After the conference I questioned him about this and he just said, “If you are not a Bee, then you don’t know how they see things so any theory is acceptable”. I lost all trust in this crazy man on that day. He has no idea what he is talking about. Some of his ideas are good but, “Bees see Honey”??? Sorry Deepak, I asked Hariprasad Chaurasia about it, after a concert at Ruth Eckerd Hall in late 1990. You do know Hariprasad Chaurasia? Don’t you Deepak? Hariprasad told me the truth. I will never forget it. And you, Deepak, are a liar. Just like obama. Why don’t you hang out at an OWS protest and feed on them or feed off them? Either way… you are a bottom feeder and a liar.

      There is some truth to what he was saying. The spectrum that bees and other collectors see in cause flower petals to be highlighted for them. The bees see into the ultraviolet vision range. Their sensory organs are attuned to nectar-producers. Notice on the second link the contrasting of the background vs the flowers themselves in the pictures.

      I caught part of an episode detailing the reason primates see in the red spectrum. This usage is to determine the ripeness or ‘fullness’ of vegetation, amongst other things.

      Humans are also better able to identify changes in the gray spectrum. I know, since I work in the imagery business. Trying to identify variances in color is very tedious vs with gray-scale imagery. That is, of course, without the manipulation of the imagery via different “color guns”, as we describe it…but that’s another topic.

He doesn’t propose people jettison their religion as most think. His points out the truth that the existence of god is a hypothesis and a good hypothesis at that, but their is no clear evidence for gods existence. Taking the acceptable parts of moral philosophy from the bible is not something he opposes and he has said that. However, what he points out is that there is evidence for more amazing and mysterious things in the universe revealed to us by science and engineering that children can embrace rather than simplifying their lives with the supernatural fairy tales from the bible. He has his opinion about religion in general but to what should be the approval of many blaze commenters he stand beside you for his disdain of Islam over any other religion.

It’s none of your concern what theory (and they are all theories even the ones Dawkins puts forth) of existence you ascribe to. In response to the second part of your statement regarding people believing the fairytales passed from generation to generation. I think you put far too much stock in the scientific theory of the day, history demonstrates that today‘s scientific fact is often the next generation’s flat Earth theory so be a little less smug. Also, I am proof that your statement is defeatable. I was raised in an extremely secular and anti-religion environment (Birmingham, England) with an agnostic mother and an atheist father surrounded by self-righteous, unthinking atheists with smug superior attitudes about people who they called religious (a cover-term for Christians, the Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Wiccan and New Age Spiritualists were all perfectly OK in their book) It was this bigoted narrow mindedness and dismissal of a large swath of society that lead me to do my own research and learn that religion is actually a virtue, something good for the world.

Maybe the problem is that he groups any sort of faith all into one bag, which is just retarded on his part. I have faith in a just, wise, honest, kind and loving God. I really don’t see any evil in that, even if it turned out that I was wrong, what harm did it cause?

      Do I think that people can have dangerous misguided faith? Of course. But that sort of misguided faith can also be present amongst practicing atheists, case in point, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, etc. Of course Hitler was not quite as much as a self-proclaimed atheist as the others.

      Any good scientist knows that the prime effort is to prove the ‘null’ hypothesis. In other words, proving something does not happen, or does not exist. I have yet to see a solid logical argument that proves, without a doubt, that God does not exist. There are plenty of theories out there, but there is no proof. Dawkins here tries to reverse the argument and use his ‘scientific’ background to ask people to prove that God exists. We don’t have to. You just have to prove that he doesn’t. And you can’t.

What they WON’T tell you is that by their own theory, 13 Billion years isn’t even a fraction of the time it would require of such a “dumb” theory. They will not discuss the Transcendant Cause of the Universe because they don’t HAVE ONE. They may try to throw out an Inflation Field as a “possibility” but the Inflation Field Itself requires Anthropic fine tuning. The secular atheist would have us believe a fary tale likened unto a person walking into the TajMahal and making the absurd assertion that the bricks, mortar and wood by random chance, assembled themselves over 13 Billion years all the while failing to address where the matter came from to assemble the very materials that make up the bricks, mortar and wood that make up the grand Taj Mahal that is our Anthropically fine tuned and orderly Universe.

What they WON’T tell you is that by their OWN theory, 13 Billion years isn’t even a fraction of the time it would require of such a “dumb” theory. They will not discuss the Transcendant Cause of the Universe because they don’t have one. They may try to throw out an Inflation Field as a “possibility” but the Inflation Field itself requires Anthropic fine tuning. The secular atheist would have us believe a fary tale likened unto a person walking into the TajMahal and making the absurd assertion that the bricks, mortar and wood by chance, assembled themselves over 13 Billion years all the while failing to address where the matter came from to assemble the very materials that make up the bricks, mortar and wood that make up the grand Taj Mahal that is our Anthropically fine tuned and orderly Universe.

    Since when do liberals care about camouflaging their bigotry? They’re right in your face with it.

      I’d like to know who in the hell actually think Dawkins is anything more than a halfass scientist. Even that’s being too kind. His views are like something said by a schizophrenic remnant of Leary’s acid experiments, operating in Disneyland.

    Depak Chopra was on the Bill Maher show years back when Woody Allen was being excoriated for marrying his step daughter and there were rumors floating that he had molested his own young daughter. Depak was trying to show up the attackers of Woody Allen as being knee jerk moralistic narrow minded jerks. So he said, referring to the rumor of the molestation of Dylan, ‘what’s wrong with an orgasm. It’s an oceanic experience. What difference does it make where it comes from?’
    His was supposedly presenting the ‘enlightened’ attitude. You could tell from his self-satisfied expression. At that moment I was done with Depak Chopra. He’s an idiot. Case closed.

    It’s ALL ABOUT GOOD or EVIL not christian, morman, athiest, baptist, buhddist or catholic, it is GOOD or EVIL, LIFE or DEATH, LIGHT or DARK, LOVE or HATE, TRUTH or DECEIT. Those are the only choices on the table.

    If the deeds of a people are good, cherish life and promote truth, love and light then I will stand with them and promote them as family.

    If the people impose their will on others (EVIL), take human life and promote dark intent and hate, I will rebuke them, oppose them and expose their deceit.

    It makes no difference on the details like religious differences THESE ARE THE CORE PRINCIPLES.
    STOP BICKERING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES AND STAND ON THE ROCK OF COMMON GROUND!!!!

    While I may not agree with Chopra’s philosophies, I can say I respect him as a human being especially after this interview.

      I will never respect Deepak Chopra after his support of Terri Schiavo’s murder by her husband Mark Schiavo and that good for nothing judge…and I will never respect anyone who supported her murder..I had people telling me things like…”Oh …if I couldn’t sit in my hot tub with my martini everyday…I would just as soon get put out of my misery….they weren’t Terri…her family begged to have her and her husband fought to murder her….Everyone jumped on the bandwagon..including Chopra…what a joke of a man he is

      ashestoashes,

      Then, imprisoned in her own conscious body, they let her ‘starve and thirst’ to death, and tell us it was……… “death with ‘dignity’”. I wouldn’t do that to a dog!

      In 1483, two of the rightful heirs to be King of England, Henry 5th and his younger brother, were killed under the orders of Uncle Richard the 3rd,(who was later killed in battle under Henry the 7th). At least one of the two kids many say was starved to death. He was imprisoned, eventually eating his mattress. This little boy sure died with ‘dignity’…. Earlier, around 14 February 1400, King Richard 2nd, died in captivity, well thought to have been starved to death, eating his clothes and mattress, as well. Maybe they will just shoot us in the head to improve the gift of ‘dying’ with dignity.

      FREE@SPEAKRN I think Terri’e death was motivated by money.. you probably have been in the position of near hydration.. so you probably know what poor Terri must have gone through. and I believe it was all for financial gain..

      Wow…I didn‘t recall Chopra’s decision on that.
      It was the most pathetic statement of humanity (which includes the late term and partial birth abortions) that our country has taken regarding life. Have to agree, I wouldn’t want to see that done to my worst enemy, much less an animal. Seriously, I find this more repulsive than them dragging Kaddafi out and torturing him and taking their pics with his corpse. (Which I thought was against their faith – or so they wildly proclaimed when the pics of Sadam’s two sons was shown after they were killed). I said to myself, “These people are barbarians -they are not ready for democracy. YES, they have plenty of reason to hate, but to act in the same manner as this horrible person they’re attacking just takes away their humanity.” Then to realize that what we did to Terri was not only worse, but she was loved by her family and never hurt anyone. We are no better and the mask of civilization is just that – a mask. Seems like I am saying daily, “May God FORGIVE us.”
