5. Religion is evil and Islam is cancer.end of story

6. It seems like, unlike others of the "new atheist" movement (e.g., Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens), Daniel Dennett doesn't think Islam is necessarily worse than other religions. Yes, he obviously thinks it's a "parasitic mind virus," but then he says that all religious people have this virus. I wonder if he was satirizing the others of this movement by mentioning Islam, and then including "most people."

7. In the Caltech lecture, Dennet goes on to say Christianity is also the same. It essentially means submission too. People who watch this should watch the whole lecture given in Caltech on the book Breaking the Spell. This by the way is from the Ted Talk.

8. Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures 1Corinthians 15:3
