Brother Sam Miffed!

[zzpatrick1]

Its hard to watch people with the abstence of religion struggle to find an answer, when its been in their face their whole life.

[agnosticsalvation]

Goddamn!

[MissCindyPieO]

Keep it up, love this show.

[guiltybob1]

Sometimes anger is the only appropriate response.

[bodeezy]

Excellent....I subscribed.

[omgwtfwhoami]

That microphone isn't plugged in! Nice prop.

[madmike81]

Outstanding Stuff.

[PleasePonderThis]

Awesome video!

[o2bgpn]

Brother Sam, one of your best pieces yet. Amen!

[ChuckyJesus666]

Sounds like a plan!

[MikeOfKorea]

I wish you hadn't presented this in such an affected style, but I like the words.

[ChuckyJesus666]

No offense, but you obviously don't understand American culture. HIs presentation is a parody of the old-time evangelical preachers which roamed the south and the western frontier. Only, he's "preaching" atheism!

Sadly, these old (and new) evangelicals are responsible for making America so fecking religious and uptight about sexuality, etc.

[MikeOfKorea]

Parody. It is a difficult concept.

[ChuckyJesus666]

S'ok. Assuming you are Korean (yes?), you are definitely forgiven. Most humor does not cross culture and language barriers.

....and if you're not Korean, then I forgive you anyway. :-)

[ChuckyJesus666]

LOL. I've misplaced my glasses and I thought the title was "Brother Sam Milfed."

[555KINGofKORN555]

ha, lol

[grenangle]

FECK THE BASTARDS!

[madmike81]

fan-fukin-tastic.

[andreibuze]

Amen Brother! Speak the truth some more!

[freethinker1969]

I'm angry too! Woo hoo! Go get 'em Brother Sam!

[mjrchapin]

Another brilliant sermon-rant! Downhome intellectualism FTW!

[xenophile1956]

Outstanding job. Thank you!

[quammski]

Halle-fucking-lujah brother!

[Revyloution]

Preach it bruthah!

Damn, makes me wish we had churches to go to.

[evolvingdarwin]

You tell em like it is Brother Sam!

[wirewizards1974]

Im fucking angry.........

[EmoKidsScott]

Does anyone else agree that this guy sounds exactly like the Engineer from Team Fortress 2?

[SkepticalMinded]

Well said Mr. Singleton. I'm gentle with moderate christians who might listen to rational arguments for dropping their faith. But the hard-core twits who go door to door proselytizing now get nothing but "I don't have time to waste talking to idiots. Get lost." Civility is not always the appropriate option.

[revjimbob]

I'm fucking angry.

[PocketNerd]

Wow. You're a powerful speaker. I'm glad you're on our side!

[caveman73]

Wow! Great video man. Keep on preaching brother!

[calladus]

Preach it Brother!

Some of us are way past angry... I'm all the way up to "thoughtful" and "active".

[KaosSuperStar]

Right on brother. Get involved. I'm a member of American Atheist, Freedom from Religion Foundation, and a local group here called PA Nonbelievers. Show the believers that atheists are also involved in altruistic causes. Charity is not the sole domain of church groups.

[NezumiWorks]

Thing about those bus ads, they're paid for in full by atheists and their friends. That religious clutter on the skyline? Tax-exempt, my friend, at least in North America. So you're paying for their discount, whether you like it or not.

[raytheist]

Check, check, check, and check.

[raytheist]

Reading "The Family" right now. Scary.

[BelgianAtheist]

Just heard you on MN Atheists' podcast

Hell yessss I'm angry too!

[AlphonsusPeck]

RAmen, Brother!

[philhellenes]

Fear not. My rage is a long-smouldering flame that never has and never will go out (until I do).

[gorgeousgeorge13]

the atheist manifesto, the nonbelieving classes have nothing to lose but their chains!

[thisguysajerk]

nice.

[Zamboro]

The Christian manifesto, guaranteeing all pure Christians plenty of atheistfrei lebensraum! ;-)

[siefertma]

The only thing that frustrates me more than a fundy is a self-hating atheist. No matter how obnoxious the religious become, there are some atheists who, out of a misplaced notion of political correctness, will let the bible-beaters walk over our culture unchallenged.

[NezumiWorks]

Jerry Coyne calls them "Faitheists".

[WizardJim]

I call 'em Credeophiles.

[HappyApostate]

Righteous anger, right on! Now a question-- what should an atheist reply when buttonholed by some kind hearted soul spouting i'llprayforyou or godblessyou or other unwanted xtian inanities. I feel like a wuss just ignoring these intrusions. It's seems no different than someone saying santaclausblessyou or zeusblessyou. What say you Brother Sam? Can you do a video on snappy atheist retorts suitable for various occassions?

[FlyingFree333]

When they say 'I'll pray for you' say 'And I'll sacrifice a virgin for you'.

[Ironysandwich]

Snappy retorts are fine in their place, but I usually find it far better to respond with something like "I don't believe in God, but I appreciate the sentiment". That way you come off as neither apologetic or a jerk.

If they act surprised you can throw in a slightly exasperated sounding "Yes, we're real people who don't kick puppies or eat babies or anything". Then look them in the eye with a slightly hurt expression.

Guilt can be an excellent learning aid.

[kuhlwlf]

Just reply: "And may you be touched by his noodly appendage as well."

[milkboneunderwear]

Yes! You are soooooo right!! God damn!

[tabularasa000]

Brother Sam is amazing.

[dudeedud7]

I'm angry sir. but what can we do?

[debaser71]

Just speak out.

When you speak out it encourages others to speak out. There are many more non-believers out there than anyone realizes.

Anyway, great video Brother Sam!!

[Patka02]

Theists have an advantage over us. They can ban together to protect a mutual belief, under a common bander. Atheists haven't had a 'loud' voice until resently, aren't a 'community,' and don't have a feeling of obligation toawrds one another.

[deathrol3]

great

[DourantiProductionCo]

I hate commenting, impossible to accomplish anything with one. So I'm frustrated I can't do anything else to support this man who I'm 100% on the same page with.

[kuhlwlf]

Oh you can do more! Brother Sam will even match your donation and will use it for humanitarian aid!  Not like those who tell you to send your money to the lord! (But they give you their address.)

[METAL4FISH]

Fantastic closing statement.

[AvianFang]

Great stuff, and you make a great point.

[MasterOhSo]

Great stuff...thanks for the thoughtful giggle. Peace be with
