12-8-11 *VFX is NOT a Christian* Atheism is NOT a Religion

You cant cure crazy without a lobotomy... It unfortunately leads to the patient being brain dead, but I don't think it would change much with this guy.

[Amashkitotamoes]

Cat in boots.

[BigVic405g]

The believe in your hockey team winning is religious. I think Marx makes this point in his discussion of Commodity Fetishism in Capital.

[zzaproot]

This is what VFX thinks he should get money for? Since he started e-begging again his vids have gotten more lazy and shoddy. It is obvious he is just repeating what his pseudo-professors are spewing at that clown college his parents are paying for.

[swinewarrior]

he is a bawbag

[jebus6kryst]

PCS got nothing right in this video.

[Mithcoriel]

Wait, what the heck was he arguing in the second half? "Belief and disbelief of God happen sort of in the same area of the brain, therefore they're equally valid"??

VFX always has a way of starting out semi-logic, then going off on a wild wargarbble.

[JoeGonePro]

Their is no god. *Yawns*.... 21st century lil' boy. Evolution is a fact. Embrace it. Don't be afraid of it, we're here for you. Natural selection is the way to go, don't be a 40 percenter. =(

[Ryoka242]

"I BELIEVE my favorite hockey team will win the hockey game" There's a difference between a hope and a belief.

2) VFX fails to understand what agnosticism and Atheism is. Agnosticism is an Absence of knowledge, Atheism is a Lack of a belief in god(s). so a person saying " I do not believe in god" or "I believe there is not a god" is an Atheist. There's a strong Atheist, a person with a clear assertion that there is NO god. and a Weak Atheist, a person who basically lacks a belief in a god.

Most Atheists are weak Atheist. They simply lack a belief in a god, but do not assert that this is no god.

3) this last point is what can debunk his "theory" that Atheism, in any way shape or form is a religion.

Dictionary(dot)com's definition of religion: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances

cont.

[Ryoka242]

(cont.)

, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

which means that you have to have

a)set of beliefs concerning the universe, which not all atheists have the same beliefs

b)Devotional and ritual observances, which Atheists dont have.

c)A moral code that governs Humans, which Atheists dont all share.

Sorry VFX, but you suck at knowing words.

[animevet]

He looks sick

[urcorrect]

@animevet He sounds sick too. I hope he gets better.

[kylieluvsshawnie]

Oh, naughty Shawney-poo; he's showing "our" paddle to everyone (tee-hee).

[polemius01]

Pt 2: VFX's burning fever to prove that atheism is a religion is proof of his own chemicals bubbling around in what passes for his brain.

He didn't need to believe that the paddle was in front of him; IT WAS EMPIRICALLY THERE.

Keller was not "born deaf, blind and mute," idiot. She fell ill and the disabilities were a result.

The argument as to atheism as religion has no answer. VFX doesn't realize this, and, yet again, makes of video of his own mental masturbation.

Such a sad waste of time.

[polemius01]

Pt 1: This video is just VFX taking a large crap on logic. His "belief" that his hockey team will win its next game is absolutely ridiculous. He might "hope" the team will win, but a belief indicates a position that something EXISTS. The hockey game is in the future, and will have an empirical result (VFX's team will win, lose or tie). The same thing goes for his idiocy about Mom at the store; there is an empirical test for her presence or absence.

[Editfan]

Dear evangelical christian, please tell me, if believing in Jesus is a religion.

[extion]

Does this guy own a dictionary? Or does he prefer just making shit up?

[polemius01]

@extion VFX believes it, so it must be real!

[GuineaPigDan]

So if professing oneself to be an atheist is doing a form of theology, would stating I don't believe in astrology be a form of doing astrology also? Sigh. You can try to sound as philosophical all you want VFX, but no amount of polishing your fundamentalist ideas will make them look less like turds.

[Mcfly88]

hey, look at it this way, at least if atheism is a religion we have a strong argument that it's the one true one.

[dannypantsgm]

Do you ever get tired of over complicating the moronically simple? Why would you even want us to be a religion? Why would you want us to be in the same category as you? That's what I don't get. It's like you're saying "atheism is nothing special, it on the same level as my worldview". It's like you're admitting you are on a lower level. Real smart.

Plus, I don't need to have no knowledge of cucumbers to not prefer them in my salad. So the whole video is wrong anyway.

[thedayitriedtodie]

so gay, shawn.

[Idoloish]

This guy does more mental gymnastics with Christianity than DLandonCole does with Islam.

[HRRyan2]

oooo looks like someone doesn't understand this difference between agnostic, gnostic, belief, and non-belief. nice try, faggot.

[GWR3440]

Why does the deluded narcissistic fanatic need to keep lying about atheists?

For the umpteenth time, not believing in the god of somebody else's religion, is no different than not believing in the fairies at the bottom of the garden.

Is that also a religion on this idiot's planet?

[RadarKat73080]

@GWR3440 I guess Shawn's non-belief in Vishnu is a religion as well.

[Requiemxtoxinnocence]

Most atheists are agnostics, there is weak atheism which doubts the possibility and see's it as improbable and strong atheism pertains that there is no possible chance of a god. They both lack faith and they are both non-religious.
