calming down

[cutepea78]

oh my god the part where you say that now, you feel like the person who you really always were...dude that is so how it feels when you come out of religion!!

[cutepea78]

Richard Dawkins' book, The God Delusion (which I'm sure you've probably read, but if you haven't check it out), talks about how we should protest every time we hear a phrase like "a Christian child". This is because children do not have fully formed brains yet and do not have the capacity to make decisions about their beliefs about the universe...There is no such thing as a Christian child or a converted child, just a scared and brainwashed child.

[cutepea78]

yo i just watched another vid and you say this book is one of your faves!...gotta say i luv your vids, can't stop watching them

[Ganthripor]

no human should influence any other.

[MoringAfterStar]

then how are we going to learn advance or even communicate?

but posting your message you has influenced me, was that not what you were trying to do?

if not why leave a message, why watch this movie if it could possibly influence you?

you probly mean FORCE beliefs.

[kidjade7]

i find your videos comforting cause i can relate to them as a christain, who stopped practising,and found christianity somewhat frustrating... but i actually went back to it on my own terms...

[NSResponder]

Wow.. Glad you got over it. You would have been insufferable back then.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

I don't know what it is about the color of this video, but it brings me back to my childhood of ordering SeaMonkeys from the back of comic books. Love that teal-ish greenish color.

[boswellnimrod]

Religion is, of course, an opiate. You expressed, in a time of stress, that you missed that opiate. I think you struck a chord with someone still addicted who saw a chance to exploit that. You also come across as a very caring, sincere person and such individuals are altogether too rare.

[ROBwithaB]

I'm just a random internet person.

[solid102]

I wanna plow you. I really do. This is not a joke. Hit me up so I can get the road map which will enable me to do so.

[navvellines15]

I've never seen "Dracula Dead and Loving It" I should though! Have you've ever seen "Bram Stokers Dracula"? It's an awesome film, very sad though.

[Salladsdressing]

I don't know why but i could listen to you forever! ;)

[unseenstrings]

Psychological causality has made you into the person you are today. Heaven's Gates & Hells Flames was one factor in your life. Christianity didn't make you into a different person than you were. Your attitudes and opinions changed because the emotional content (songs and sermons) and imagery (art and stories (including movies)) of Christianity had an effect on your existing mindset. Other factors have since made you into a Non-Christian. But you are not yet truly a nonbeliever.

[StormoHax]

Aw DanMill your so sweet to her...cute..

[masticina]

You'll be fine!

[emmetgirl]

i'm glad people are subscribing to you too. your attitude towards religion is really refreshing. i'm agnostic myself, and a large number of my friends are atheists, yet i find there's a very limited number of outspoken atheists on youtube who don't make me just as angry as fundamentalist christians generally do...

you're on the list.

thanks for being awesome. :)

[mungojorie]

oh you are so not allow....my mother was dieing of pneunomina and a co worker sicked a brickage of jesus freeks on me "oh shelll live if you belive" placing it on me! not on the drd or med or fate or what ever. when she died, tyhey blamed it on me...another layer of blame. i don't know what i am but i KNOW that whatever was in my mind did not want my mother to die. the scars still smart. i know i did whats right but i have anagging feeling late at nite,oh and dracula dead and loving it sux lol

[ellisaaron528]

ok its good to see you mellowed out a bit

[remeyboy70]

Your less than nothing to GOD and always has been. REV 13:10 Isiah 14:21 so you have no choice and can be happy in knowing that God never gave f^%*( about you being his. JOEL 2:27 And "NONE ELSE" 2SAMUEL 7:23-24 NOT YOU. You should be at peace now and able to go on to better topics about life and stop talking about something you don't believe in. To recap, God does not love you and is not running after you trying to save your soul. So stop acting like he is and live, life is short. "for you".

[ChuckyJesus666]

I would say fuck you, but that would be wishing some pleasure on you. Why don't you go crawl back under the slimey rock you crawled out of? There is no hate like Christian love.

[remeyboy70]

I'm not into Christianity at all Or religion. Just telling you the truth stupid. That's what the book says. Just helping her to know that it doesn't matter if she did or didn't follow GOD because he never gave a F#$! about her to begin with. She doesn't have to battle with herself about this because it does not matter. God isn't sitting around waiting on her to come to him only Stupid church folks are the ones making her think he cares. He never came to her his self did he?? NO!

[remeyboy70]

My main point is shes an atheist and spends allot of time talking about a God that she doesn't believe in obviously she is battling with her decision. I'm just here to let her know it doesn't matter and its alright and I'm done I have nothing else to say about this.

[podiumman2]

I think you have us confused for people who care what a bunch of bronze age goat herders had to say, written down after hundreds if not thousands of years of story telling and retelling (tell one story in an office and wait for it to get around, by then you won't recognize the story), and then translated and mistranslated countless times. Atheists are not "battling with their decision" regarding belief. We're battling with a society which has a mental sickness.

[podiumman2]

If you're in a room full of people who are convinced that there's a magical creature in the next room who will grant them all of their wishes or punish them if they don't believe, wouldn't you react to this and talk about it? If it weren't for Xians, we wouldn't give it all a second thought. You're making Pascal's wager. Problem with that is that it is a false dichotomy; what if we're both wrong and we should have been praying to the god Odin?

[carloz1]

remeyboy70, I'm just curious, what is your stake in this? You claim to not believe as well and are expressing a pretty high level of emotion.

[carloz1]

Oh my remey, you do put a lot of stake in believing. I checked out your page, well, good luck with that. By the way, wishful thinking does not equal truth. Believing in grand things with small, if any, evidence is just a little silly. The chosen people thing is pretty outrageous and should be countered. It is just another excuse for genocide. Take a big breath and try to be honest with yourself. It is difficult, but worth trying.

[remeyboy70]

Lol you know I never said that I don't believe in God. I said I'm not into Christianity at all Or religion, That's Foolishness.

[remeyboy70]

Why do you care about God or Jesus of your an atheist. Why talk about him at all? That's stupid and you have to keep in mind that GOD never loved you to begin with. Hebrews 10:26-28 Hebrews 10:38-39 People teach that God loves everybody but the book itself clearly states that he does NOT and if you stayed a christian you would have still been hated by GOD. Malachi 1:1-3 2Esdras 6:55-59 Romans 9:11-12 that's your heritage ESAU let me help to ease your mind about your choice to not follow GOD.

[Masonictoaster9]

Pouk leddon or is it Robin Goodfellow? Robin...never was good with directions.

[teenspirit1]

frisbeesANDflipflops

You are the supportive one.

You are the one who carries the flag.

You are the one who resists and who represents, and it means a lot more than you think.

So thank You.

[dunce002917]

Dracula Dead and Loving It... hehehe... Wrong me, wrong me...

You don't need to be religious to know love and kindness.

Stay strong and I'm glad that your bro is out from Afghanistan.

[dave251430]

Hi Frisbees, count yourself very fortunate that you weren't indoctrinated into religious dogma at a very young age. There are millions of kids that will never be able to bring themselves out of that religious 'coma' due to early exposure to religious brainwashing. Your doing great !.. and enjoy the freedom from religion that you have discovered... You have been able to throw off the chains of religious mind slavery.. and that's a great feat !!

[Masonictoaster9]

Hey Pouk - have hope. If you are meant to be brought to life it will happen, your eyes will be opened and you will slap your forhead and say wow. You'll exit the tangled forest like a boyscout with his compass adjusted. I'll be waiting with your merit badge buddy. A good scholarly group - the preterists. Consider them. You will enjoy it if you dare let yourself.

[Masonictoaster9]

Dead and loving it? Hmmmm

[Masonictoaster9]

Sounds like you rejected the shallow version of christianity - Christianity the true version is a quest and it is deep. We are in the last times and nearly all the churches teach erroneously. Christianity is a family - some of us wear sneakers...others of us flip flops. I am making a video on the real revelations and how nearly all of it...already happened. Have people been deceived - you bet they have.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

I love the color! Glad Bob is better. Keep an eye on his diet.

BTW, excellent choice of movies. "It's a cookbook!"

[Rhonda9]

So glad things are doing better!

[rowsdowersavesus]

hope your dad continues to get better.

Hope that guy gets a lot worse. Seriously. I hope that shithead gets killed horribly.

Danmill is amazing.

DUDETTE! I acted in Heaven's Gates, Hell's Flames.

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

i did too! a year or two after i first saw it, i played the little girl whose mom got sent to hell while she went up to heaven. pretty sick shit. i talk about it in my "say no to fear" video.

[rowsdowersavesus]

Nowadays, I think that no child should be allowed to play in, or watch, that play. But then, I was a different person.

I played in the first scene, crucifying Jesus. I also played the son of a preacher who drove drunk and caused all his friends to go to hell by peer-pressuring them into smoking and drinking, then hitting a train in my car.

I'll watch that video right now!

[heatherlynblue]

I'm so glad to have found you on the tubes. Thanks for the update and I'm glad you're feeling better!

[ocVlog]

I find your videos extremely entertaining. Congratulations on 1K followers. You are absolutely every man's fantasy out here in the YouTube world. Keep the videos coming and hang in there. Life's road can be filled with potholes, bumps and debris. Steer clear and maintain your course. Good luck.

[Sarahon06]

"You're eating bugs right from the ground!"

...

"I don't know what your talking about."

Glad you're feeling better. :)

Peace~

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

"i can see it's leg wriggling about. it's fighting for its life, poor thing..."

YES! i LOVE that movie. it's rare than anyone else has even heard of it, let alone can quote from it.

[samsroomie]

Well, now I have to add Dracula, DALI to my Netflix list.

And you have 1000+ adoring fans because you're bright and happy (usually), intelligent, and gorgeous. Duh.

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

ha- when i first read this, i put the (usually) as an adjective to intelligent and was like "hey... well, yeah. alright." LOL.

[samsroomie]

I'm usually intelligent. Well, occasionally.

[helgihg]

People subscribe because of your hair. On your last video I first thought you had cut your hair but you just had it tied backwards. Personally, I don't think you should do it, I don't think it would become you.

[helgihg]

Oh, and sometimes you say pretty cool things.

[fullygodfullyhuman]

I think somebody might have a thing for australian men.......

[hairyreasoner]

Danmill23 is one of the best. And glad to see things are OK!

Congrats on 1000.

(Leslie Nielsen is Canadian, by the way.)

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

there's just something about those canadian men, i guess...

[oliverscott2007]

Yes indeed, danmill's video was fuggin awesome!

Its sad that someone's belief took precedence over your feelings.

[COMMANDOKEWL]

Glad to see that everyone is OK.

[sk8erboi4jc]

this video is so depressing.

[MagnusIan]

You look good in green.

: )

[legendre007]

Glad to hear that your stepdad is out of the hospital, and that your brother is back. :-)

That co-worker should mind his own bizness, but at least U're feeling better.

To convince some1 of a viewpoint, that other person has to be in a state of mind where he or she can already be open to it. Trying to sell an ideology to people when they're distressed about things, is in poor taste, & it's counterproductive.

"Dead & Loving It" rocks. "Children of the night - what a mess they make." Hehe. :-P

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

YES! hardly anyone's even HEARD of the movie, let alone can quote it. : D

[legendre007]

"YES! hardly anyone's even HEARD of the movie, let alone can quote it. : D"

Hardly anyone has heard of it? Nooo! That's a travesty of justice! :-O

I guess that explains why it was only in theaters for a week. :-(

Mel Brooks is my hero. "Spaceballs." "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." "Young Frankenstein." "Dead and Loving It." Where can U go wrong?

[milkboneunderwear]

It's sad, but get used to being attacked as an atheist. I came to terms with it a long time ago and now I have been hardened against it. Don't expect nice things from the spreaders of propaganda. They pretend to be pleasant but grow angry like a child would when they are questioned or things don't go their way. If they sense that they're losing, they will use dirty tricks or throw a temper tantrum. Remember, talk sense to a fool and he'll call you foolish. Cheers! Bask in humanism's glow!

[muerteverde]

Love your vlog videos! I liked the one where you talked about your book collection too. Overall, you have a nice presence in front of the camera and have a nice way of saying what you are thinking, and don't seem to hold back. It is very "real". Your honesty and intellectual curiosity are inspiring, but so is the human-ness that you bring to everything you talk about.

[Brianswers]

Congrats on 1000 subs! Did those people do shout outs for you? I am not aware. Does PZ Myers have a youtube account even? :)

I'm glad your step dad is doing well, and all that drama is behind you!

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

yeah, they featured me on their websites actually! crazy, huh?

[Brianswers]

Thats cool! how come? What was the occasion?

Got any links? :)

[LittleMissScooter]

And E-thug?! Haha, I'm also glad to see you're better.

[LittleMissScooter]

WoW! A major change. You look completely different, more calm and bright and cheery. The other one was all stern, tense and just...TENSE! Yeah, XD

[livebyreason]

but thats why everyone is here isnt it...to look at people and perhaps attract attention.

[livebyreason]

come on guys...you dont really really care...you just want attention from her because you want to do her. you know its true.

[Katalyzt]

It is good to see that you are feeling better...

P.S.

"Liquid gold!" Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" is a funny movie! ;O) ★★★★★

Katalyzt

[deBeuk]

I'm SO relieved to hear your step-dad's doing ok, and to see that you're feeling better :)

[saxmanchiro]

Good to hear that Dad is ok.

Keep up the vids. Seems to be helping many folks out there leave the delusion. I left the delusion 42 yrs ago and found happiness. I consider myself lucky. Consider yourself fortunate to be so young and away from the lie. I had my wife watch your last vid and she teared up. She saw the hurt.

BTW, I would say most of us subscribe because you are GENUINE and SANE.

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

genuine-ness and sanity are things i strive for daily- i'm glad that comes across in my vids!

[Nanee715]

I am glad to see that you are feeling better. I find your videos refreshngly honest and raw.

Isn't it funny that once we denounce Christianity, in some ways we become more "Christlike" than when we were Christians. I have often remarked to my friends I act more like a Chirstian now than when I was one. I guess it is because, I have suspended my fear enough to accept others as they are, and not hold them up to some unrelaistic expectations. I am more understanding and empathetic. I enjoy you.

[erickeggleton]

I just wanted to thank you, Frisbees. Your videos, along with many other exchristians that I've found on youtube, have given me the strength to question my own absurd beliefs, and ultimately to leave the religion all together. I have to admit though, I still have a residual fear of hell. I guess that goes to show you just how powerful of a mindf#@k christianity really is. I'm confident I'll shake it though. Reason will win in the end. Anyway, thanks again, and keep up the good work.

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

this is perhaps the single best comment i've ever received. it's incredible to me that anything i've said could have such an impact. welcome to reason, my friend. : )

[pmadsea077]

I did to when I first left christianity, but I think you will find that as you mature in your rationallity, you will loose that fear. At least, that was my experience.

[silverstream314]

I'm surprised that someone would say something like that to a person that they actually meet and work with. Words like tactless douchebag comes to mind. Anyway it's good that you feel better now and that stepdad's fine.

But isn't it nice how youtube can work as a really big therapy group in these situations? ;)

[darkkodiak001]

I don't know why but I just want to give you a hug so *hug* hehe. Glad to hear you are doing alright and that your dad is feeling well as well.

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

e-hugs are always welcome and appreciated : )

[XGralgrathor]

Still, I'm glad it's you making these videos and not me. I'd be like

2008-07-27 16:31; royally pissed off by asshole making stupid remarks about faith'n'stuff

2008-07-27 16:32; went on camping trip with friends

2008-08-05 07:19; went to bed: tired'n'stuff.

[HashyBee]

Wow. That post was terrible.

Sorry, it's late, I've been up since 4:30am.....

and coffee isn't enough I suppose. :P

Gramm.,Ar! y.A.Y!!!

[HashyBee]

I think I'm in love with you .... :P

I mean great videos. And I really felt bad for you this morning, but I was thinking....Hey, it's the internet. You must have received negative comments before....

But anyway, now it makes far more sense.

Anyway, you're awesome, and intelligent former Christian talking about her experiences, for a philosophical free thinker like myself. You are a healthy medicine for my mind. You remind me that there are people like myself around.

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

"You remind me that there are people like myself around."

that's what the youtubes is for!

[Scrapheap71]

I was wondering why you seemed to get so easily pissed off at something somebody said on the internet. The fact that this person is someone you've met IRL makes the whole situation make sense now.

Thanks for clarifying that! :-)

[Ipeoch]

glad to hear that you're feeling better, and that your stepdad pulled through alright =)

also glad that the jerk from your office didn't cause you any longterm mental anguish

[b0ulder690]

You know we're here for you. In sadness, seek the tubers. :)

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

so it seems- you guys rock!

[randyhelzerman]

danmill is the man. Some people's videos stay the same quality, but his just keep getting better and better.

[DudeOfSnow]

us Aussie's are wise :P

[crg64]

Good to see you happier :)

[jussts]

'Dracula: Dead and Loving it'... really? Young women sure like some strange movies... my girlfriend still insists that 'Howard the Duck' is a masterpiece.

[DrunkAtheist]

I've literally never heard of that movie... wtf?

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

most people havent- trust me, you're not alone.

[tribidemp]

Where can I find this dude's video reply?

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

his reply is the first video response to my "RAGE" video. or, here's the end part of the link:

watch?v=DBiRot4-Lzg&watch_resp­onse

[DudeOfSnow]

Glad to see that beautiful smile again!

[tehAngieChrist]

You're amazing. I'm glad your step dad is okay. as far as that guy goes, people I have known have said similar crap, and I can't believe they stoop so low.

[pixelatedxdeath]

I'm glad your step dad is doing good. I'm sorry I didn't talk about this last night with you... I just don't like to discuss stuff like that unless they bring it up. Rather focus on the positive stuff. I love your videos... and I love you! You rock! Keep your head up!

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

no, it's fine! thanks for the support : )

[Dalbert342]

Hope your stepdad is doing ok now.

[pixelatedxdeath]

that's what friends are for! :-D

[Rahab111222]

There's a documentary where these Green Beret's walk through a village in Afghanistan. They mentioned that the people in the village who mingle with the Green Beret's often get killed or bullied around by Taliban rebels, and would withhold information out of fear.

One of the Green Beret's said "That's the only thing they have a hold on these people, is this terror thing."

That's christianity in a nutshell, along with the other two desert dogma death cults. Fear is their only hold on ppl.

[VeritasEtLibertas82]

Thanks for nothin' - I just wanted to give you smooches!~

(smooch)

[brainpolice2]

Again, my wife, not yours! :)

[VeritasEtLibertas82]

Boy - Yous and mes headed fo' a show-down.

=)

[brainpolice2]

Haha! I don't like cockfights.

[frisbeesANDflipflops]

fellas, fellas...

take off your shirts, i'll get the mudd. we'll settle this the old fashioned way.

[brainpolice2]

Haha! The old fashioned way? Mud wrestling? Wowzers.

[Eldrave20]

It was the statement that you made about compassion for others. Changing from pseudo-selfishness to genuine concern for others is why I rated this video 5 stars.

Welcome back.

(btw, I had youtube swallow a couple of messages on your rage video) It sucks.

TTYL

[MeIoco]

SILENCE! Evil Cakeist.

REPENT and feel the love of Crust!

[Eldrave20]

May the cherry pits of despair break your habitual and corrupt gnashings of teeth, you pontificating "crust"ian!!

(just kidding)

maybe.

[SpyroAndCrashFan]

What a jerk.

[brainpolice2]

Good to know that you've released all that tension then, wife. :) Gobble Gobble. What they said to you was certainly over the top.
