I heard how Jesus changed other people's lives and I wanted it too.I was a lying stealing cheating arrogant sexually immoral drug-addicted jerk.I knew I was bad and wanted to be good.I asked Jesus to take control of my life;I had made a mess of it.He came and purified my thought-life and heart.I believe the Son of God died for my sins and rose again. Understanding His love I trust Him and give Him control of my life. He transformed me into a new person.Never knew joy like this was possible.
Haha. I'm Christian and I agree with 90% of what you said. We are not perfect, I apologize for those of us that think they are better than everyone else. We are not. Christians in this country do not have the right to claim persecution. Christians enjoy more religious freedom in this country than any country ever has in history. A lot of us are self-righteous crybabies, I admit it. Please don't hold it against all of us. The good ones love you and pray for you.
@GodlyWomenOfTruth yes persecution does exist, but oddly they suffer it like real christians have for millenia. Only americans cry persecution, and for no good reason at all. Getting called names is not persecution. In fact, Id bet virtually all american christians dont have the first clue of what real persecution is.
@GodlyWomenOfTruth And you'll also find the Christians persecuting people in other nations too. Such a shame your secular country is trying to be taken over by religious dictatorship that is Christianity. Your founder fathers would be ashamed.
It is really annoying. Somehow people have been convinced that we need to go back to the roots of our country, the constitution. The only problem with that is that they seem to forget that the first amendment is designed to protect us from crazy fundamentalists that want to turn this country into a theocracy. And it’s impossible to reason with them because they belief above reason. Please help! =P
@CrimsonVoid Im not even American, Im Canadian. The thing is not only do I feel for the American's who not what true freedom means, I worry about how the rest of the world will be treated under a Christian Theocracy that might be the US government.
Exactly. If we can't stop it here then who knows what will be next. I already feel that shows like Jersey Shore are exported out of this country. Nobody should have that shit forced on you.
But, to be fair, I don’t think it’s a really big threat yet. I’d like to believe that most Americans realize that injecting religion into the government would be bad for the country and the religion. However, the fact that so many republican candidates seem to be pro-theocracy does scare me.
@CrimsonVoid It may not be a huge threat yet, which is why people need to act now before it becomes one. I have no problem if people want to be religious. People have every right to believe what they want to believe, but they dont have the right to force it onto others. Religion belongs in the home and church. It needs to stay out of education, politics, and the courts.
I'm trying to do my part to help. I'm educating myself about the issues and trying to spread that knowledge. But it can be really hard. They use their freedom of religion and freedom of speech as an excuse to not have to learn. And we really aren't allowed to question people's faith. I hope that a lot of this will die out with the older generation, to be honest.
Do you guys run into this much up there? And do these issues make Americans look as stupid as I fear they do?
@CrimsonVoid 70 percent of Canadians claim some sort of christianity. 16 percent are Atheist. Jews and muslims are around the 2 percent mark. But no, religion is pretty much kept to itself. Pray was taking out of school almost 30 years ago "with the exception of catholic schools. It's kept out of politics and the courts. You dont even have to swear to the bible if you're under oath.
@fekinel "children should be taught 'how' to think NOT 'what' to think." i agree. This is why public schools exist. Unless you want a theocracy, we should let people build faith schools, even if you think it's not a good thing. I know religion is harmfull in lots of cases, but banning it is not the answer : it's the same for faith schools.

It isn't hard to understand why Christians need to believe in Heaven and Hell. But it only provides more evidence on how hate filled the religion itself is to claim that all who disagree with Christianity for whatever reason deserves evil torture forever in a pit of misery and despair. How's that for a scare tactic? What kind of deity uses scare tactics? Good ones? Ones created by ancient government figures and sustained by current ones to keep you in your place through fear? You be the judge.
@knations1 I'm not shocking anyone, just entertaining people. And nice try with the threat, but that only works on people that believe hell exists. Glad to see you wish eternal torture on those who disagree with you, though, that's a great quality in a person.
@knations1 if you want to be calling someone "dumb," you ought to know the difference between the words "your" and "you're." Confusing them exposes a lack of education which is pretty much associated with dumb people (there are, of course, exceptions).
The myth is not the reason for the season, that's winter solstice. Which originated with the pagans or before. It was just co-oped to so that Christianity would catch on (good marketing!) Though most of you probably knew that anyway. Merry Christmas.
At the very least churches should pay property taxes. If a church catches fire, god doesn't put it out, the fire department does. If someone becomes ill in a church, the paramedics show up, not Jesus. They need to pay their share of the impact on the surrounding community.
@aurabluebop "u rent" Do you mean "you aren't" as in "you aren't the intended audience for this video, therefore you don't have the right to come here and be an illerate asshole?"
All of the major religions of the world were created by men so that it would be easier to control other men. Jesus most likely never existed but was another incarnation of ancient gods like Mithra, born on Dec 25 of a virgin, died and came to life again, Light of the World, walked on water, blablablah. There was nothing new in Christianity. Until the Council of Nicea in 325CE, Jesus wasn't even viewed as being God.
@aurabluebop: this is the kind of discrimination atheists face. We aren't satan worshippers but we are good, moral people without a god. We are no more an animal than say, someone who comes on an atheist site just to tell them how wrong they are. And BTW, supporting your arguement by saying it says so in the bible means nothing to an atheist. The Qu'ran says all Christians are going to hell because they don't worship the right God. Do you believe that?
ok i hope u ll know that ifu rent christian u are surely going to hell it says it in the bible i dislike this video becuse u are letting yourself turn into animals! u arent saved if u rent with God. just saying what i feel have a nice satin filled day all o u guys who r athiest btw u suck butts
@aurabluebop You can "rent" christians? BTW, we're already animals. I don't know if I want to "rent" with god though, what if he doesn't pay his portion of the "rent"? Oh and thank you for wishing us a "satin" filled day. I do love "satin" it's so comfortable and soft. You're so nice! lmfao
@aurabluebop "Have a nice satin filled day"? Ok, I'll switch to silk. Also, the bible is not a manual, it's a fantasy book. Why do you think preachers and such are put in insane asylums for saying (a) god(s) spoke to them?
@aurabluebop Spellcheck and punctuation, otherwise risk sounding like a fool. The best part about not believing in God is that Sat'A'n suddenly doesn't exist, either. Blaming our problems on a non-entity instead of the evil people who cause those problems will only create that many more problems for everyone in the long run, some of which can't be solved - such as the economic crisis. Satan didn't do that. People did. Satan is the perfect scapegoat for those in charge to do whatever they want.
I don't think paying taxes "endorses" churches. It's a cop-out to claim that. By exempting them to pay to society via , they're supporting them with tax dollars. That's endorsement. If churches should be exempt for paying taxes because it would be endorsement if they did, then what about the rest of the population, companies and whatnot? Unless they can show actual good work (no, "spreading the gospel" doesn't count), they should pay taxes. Just like any other company/corporation.
To my knowledge its not 'Churches' that get Tax-Exempt status...its 'Non-Prophet' organizations that get tax exempt... (and churches are SUPPOSED to fall in that category)
Whether or not they gain a profit is a question (And that probably is the REAL question to be asking them.)
@SecularMentat You're right, it's because they are deemed non-profit organizations. When it comes to taxing churches, I'm just skeptical that many of them are following the rules of how non-profits are supposed to spend their money, and I don't think they should be able to get non-profit status for simply being a religious organization. It's my opinion they should have to show that a certain portion of their income goes toward charitable work (and preaching to people doesn't count).
@proudtobeatheist1 You are right when you say we 'American' Christians don't know what it is to be persecuted. Just because they are Christians, Christians around the world are being murdered, beheaded, dismembered, burned alive... The list goes on. As YOU can attest by what resides in your own heart, hatred against Christians has really merely begun here in America. I pray, "God bless 'proudtobeatheist1'. Reveal Yourself to 'proudtobeatheist1' in Your unspeakable love."
@revmichellehopkins No one deserves to be oppressed, tortured, or killed for what they believe. Christians killed and tortured nonbelievers in the name of god for a very long time, some christians in Africa still do, and some muslims still do, but that doesn't make it right when christians get killed or tortured. I wish that on no one. But in all fairness, people of judaic religions have been torturing and murdering nonbelievers dating back to the hebrews. So spare me your god, he wants me dead.
Non PROFIT. And that doesn't mean they cannot make a profit (They CAN end their budgetary year with a gain). It means they cannot be run for any individual or group of individual's personal profit. Any profit/gain can either be held in a fund (or invested) for future organizational expenses, or be spent in certain types of ways, for the organization.
@micahjava I understand, I responded a little shitilly there. sorry. I added a blurb about that to my channel info yesterday. I plan on making a video about it too, because it is an important point to make. The smallest minority of christians, the fundies, have the loudest voice, misrepresenting most christians. I don't have much agianst moderate christians, but I think instead of getting angry at us atheists they should help fight against the nutjobs that are misrepresenting their religion.
The problem with tax-free churches is that the government would have to endorse them to tax them. However, they can refuse to allow tax deductions for religious donation.
@TheCraich You're right. The only taxes I think they should pay are property taxes. If they have land then they should pay for it like everyone else. This wouldn't even affect the little churches that badly, it would really stick it to the mega-churches. Step 2 would be to treat them like any other non-profit organization, meaning their books would be wide open for auditing to ensure they are actually non-profit. This would hurt the pat robertsons that get stinking rich off their churches.
Welcome back, my friend. Christians can't take the heat, huh? Well we don't care.FUCK THEM! For all the atrocities that go on to this day, they can kiss my ass. "OOOOOOO" they're butthurt! Learn about your religion you fuckin' morons. We don't like it anymore than you do when we point it out to you.
"Help, I'm a Christian in the US. I'm by far the majority and I'm being persecuted. BTW, I want Christian prayer in public schools, the right to tell women what to do with their bodies, the right to hold back scientific discovery, the right to tell people who they should get married to, and special rights from the government. Help, I'm being persecuted."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No. Christians don't just come at you with their beliefs. It's the atheist that come to US. i see you posted this on the "God" page on facebook. What made you want to? I'm sure no one was even bothering you. If you were a true atheist, i believe you'd want to stay away from all Christian beliefs. I think you're just really obsessed with Christian beliefs and you can't get away from them. Please get help.
@iloveyousomuchdavion hold on one second you dont at us with your beliefs? really? that is just utter bullshit right there, that is the majority of what christians do when not claiming to be persecuted by minorities.
and it is approporate if he did post it there on facebook as it is a message to christians.
the only one that needs help would be you, obviously so brainwashed by your parents faith you cant see what its followers do if you dont like it.
@iloveyousomuchdavion I didn't post this on the god page. And you pretty much just proved my point. You got angry because I expressed an opposing opinion. The fundies get on their tv shows and radio shows and say anything they want about anyone, but if anyone says, "I think you're wrong, here's my opinion" christians take offense to it. It is a double standard.
@proudtobeatheist1 I do apologize. Someone posted this video on God's page. That is why i came after you. That's what threw me off while watching this video. I thought it was you who posted it because it didn't have many views. And to all of the atheist who replied I apologize. But please tell your atheist people NOT to post this video on a Godly website. It really throws off your point here. You have your section and Christians have ours.
@Skindoggiedog Atheist are not dominant. That's why you all don't have everything we Christians have. Which is the reason for a lot of Christians to be mad if they see any atheism around them. We are true to our religion and we love being Christian. Atheist have no religion. so why should they care about what a Christian believes? They just think they were put on earth by.......nothing i guess. Uh, and by the way, notice I said "Godly" in my comment.
@iloveyousomuchdavion We care that intolerant bigots like you get to dick-tate politics that wind up affecting our lives, based on a BS set of fairytales. Don't blame us because the bible is the big book of pick and choose.
Religious people have a this insane vested interest in trying to get everyone around them to believe that being a member of a tolerant society requires everybody to respect religion. Well as long as it's "their" religion. Religion needs no special treatment or continued respect at least not any more respect or treatment than anything else out there. I have no more respect for religion than I do, coffee enemas, slow internet, fake tanning, below the ass pants, telemarketers, & the list goes on.
@iloveyousomuchdavion Your apology sounds sort of hollow. And your indignant request that "atheist people NOT" post on "a Godly website" reminds me of someone else with some very hostile and offensive beliefs. Now, who was that guy?
@KCKatheist not to mention the hypocrisy of her posting on my atheist video to say atheists shouldn't post at a god site. If she practiced what she preached then she wouldn't have preached it in the first place!
@proudtobeatheist1 Rarely do types like that walk-the-talk. And rather than it being the presence of atheist ideas tainting their sacred web site, it's their fear that doubts, questions, facts, and independent thought will disrupt their holy herd mentality. They don't want the brothers and sisters to wise up and walk away. No threats to their absolute power or their tax-free ca$h flow will be tolerated.
I understand George Wallace was a very devout xtian.
@iloveyousomuchdavion you need not to get worked up about stuff like that. I always get people posting religious videos on my atheistic web site. Try not to jump to conclusions.
@proudtobeatheist1 Its worse than that. I live in Milton FL, AKA the bible belt. When I was in high school, I let it slip that I was an atheist, and several of the kids there actually decided to come at me physically. This is perturbing, because it discourages, normally, a person from being open about their beliefs, or lack there of. I say it openly, usually only when asked though, and welcome any backlash it may cause. I'm just that kind of person. Still shitty though.
@iloveyousomuchdavion No one was even bothering me? REALLY? Not like there are members of my own family who have told me that I shouldn't be allowed to raise children. Not like I've had death threats come my way (and I'm not even a famous atheist!). Not like I have to pay for your religions taxes.
@iloveyousomuchdavion actually said "Christians don't just come at you with their beliefs."
It's because of the Inquisitions, the Conquests, and the Crusades (when christianity was spread by the sword) that you are a christian. Your cult has always been forced on others. Now you are gullible enough to believe in a dead cult leader as a magical sky wizard who will be back any day.
It's been twenty centuries. Can't you take a hint?
He presented in his video incredibly valid reasons why you have no right to be called persecuted because you live in a majoritarily christian society. I'm not sure if you know, but persecution is when people are physically assaulted, possibly killed when they express their beliefs. That is what persecution is.
If you think debates where you lose is persecution, then you're the one who needs help.
@iloveyousomuchdavion lol, That's funny considering that I have had to tell many Christians to piss off due to them thinking they can just spew there message on myself and other people because they needed to go to the store to get a gallon of milk or whatever. Christians have made a name for themselves for coming at people with there religion. I have seen more than just Jehova Witnesses knocking on peoples doors to tell them about "God". So what is it, Are you lying or just ignorant?
@iloveyousomuchdavion What's all the fuss about? Christianity is a nice blood cult that dictates the belief that god set-up a blameless male virgin for brutal torture and sacrifice. :-) You just take a bath, symbolically eat the guy’s flesh and drink his blood, and all your evil deeds past, present, and future are forgiven! From then on, you get to live in Happy-land (except for fear of demons, gays, physics, communists, Muslims, socialists, evolution, music, astronomy, witchcraft, Internet..)
@dan91709 Hahaha. You're so right! All those women and children that were raped and murdered deserved it! After all, they aren't christians and will burn in hell!
I heard how Jesus changed other people's lives and I wanted it too.I was a lying stealing cheating arrogant sexually immoral drug-addicted jerk.I knew I was bad and wanted to be good.I asked Jesus to take control of my life;I had made a mess of it.He came and purified my thought-life and heart.I believe the Son of God died for my sins and rose again.

@aurabluebop Spellcheck and punctuation, otherwise risk sounding like a fool. The best part about not believing in God is that Sat'A'n suddenly doesn't exist, either. Blaming our problems on a non-entity instead of the evil people who cause those problems will only create that many more problems for everyone in the long run, some of which can't be solved - such as the economic crisis. Satan didn't do that. People did. Satan is the perfect scapegoat for those in charge to do whatever they want.

I don't think paying taxes "endorses" churches. It's a cop-out to claim that. By exempting them to pay to society via , they're supporting them with tax dollars. That's endorsement. If churches should be exempt for paying taxes because it would be endorsement if they did, then what about the rest of the population, companies and whatnot? Unless they can show actual good work (no, "spreading the gospel" doesn't count), they should pay taxes. Just like any other company/corporation.
NBM397 2 months ago
To my knowledge its not 'Churches' that get Tax-Exempt status...its 'Non-Prophet' organizations that get tax exempt... (and churches are SUPPOSED to fall in that category)
Whether or not they gain a profit is a question (And that probably is the REAL question to be asking them.)
I could easily be mistaken.
SecularMentat 2 months ago
@SecularMentat You're right, it's because they are deemed non-profit organizations. When it comes to taxing churches, I'm just skeptical that many of them are following the rules of how non-profits are supposed to spend their money, and I don't think they should be able to get non-profit status for simply being a religious organization. It's my opinion they should have to show that a certain portion of their income goes toward charitable work (and preaching to people doesn't count).

@proudtobeatheist1 You are right when you say we 'American' Christians don't know what it is to be persecuted.

@revmichellehopkins No one deserves to be oppressed, tortured, or killed for what they believe. Christians killed and tortured nonbelievers in the name of god for a very long time, some christians in Africa still do, and some muslims still do, but that doesn't make it right when christians get killed or tortured. I wish that on no one. But in all fairness, people of judaic religions have been torturing and murdering nonbelievers dating back to the hebrews. So spare me your god, he wants me dead.

Non PROFIT. And that doesn't mean they cannot make a profit (They CAN end their budgetary year with a gain). It means they cannot be run for any individual or group of individual's personal profit. Any profit/gain can either be held in a fund (or invested) for future organizational expenses, or be spent in certain types of ways, for the organization.

I don't have much agianst moderate christians, but I think instead of getting angry at us atheists they should help fight against the nutjobs that are misrepresenting their religion.

The problem with tax-free churches is that the government would have to endorse them to tax them. However, they can refuse to allow tax deductions for religious donation.
TheCraich 2 months ago
@TheCraich You're right. The only taxes I think they should pay are property taxes. If they have land then they should pay for it like everyone else. This wouldn't even affect the little churches that badly, it would really stick it to the mega-churches. Step 2 would be to treat them like any other non-profit organization, meaning their books would be wide open for auditing to ensure they are actually non-profit. This would hurt the pat robertsons that get stinking rich off their churches.

No. Christians don't just come at you with their beliefs. It's the atheist that come to US. i see you posted this on the "God" page on facebook. What made you want to? I'm sure no one was even bothering you. If you were a true atheist, i believe you'd want to stay away from all Christian beliefs. I think you're just really obsessed with Christian beliefs and you can't get away from them. Please get help.

and it is approporate if he did post it there on facebook as it is a message to christians.

@iloveyousomuchdavion I didn't post this on the god page. And you pretty much just proved my point. You got angry because I expressed an opposing opinion. The fundies get on their tv shows and radio shows and say anything they want about anyone, but if anyone says, "I think you're wrong, here's my opinion" christians take offense to it. It is a double standard.

Religious people have a this insane vested interest in trying to get everyone around them to believe that being a member of a tolerant society requires everybody to respect religion. Well as long as it's "their" religion. Religion needs no special treatment or continued respect at least not any more respect or treatment than anything else out there. I have no more respect for religion than I do, coffee enemas, slow internet, fake tanning, below the ass pants, telemarketers, & the list goes on.

@proudtobeatheist1 Rarely do types like that walk-the-talk. And rather than it being the presence of atheist ideas tainting their sacred web site, it's their fear that doubts, questions, facts, and independent thought will disrupt their holy herd mentality. They don't want the brothers and sisters to wise up and walk away. No threats to their absolute power or their tax-free ca$h flow will be tolerated.

@proudtobeatheist1 Its worse than that. I live in Milton FL, AKA the bible belt. When I was in high school, I let it slip that I was an atheist, and several of the kids there actually decided to come at me physically. This is perturbing, because it discourages, normally, a person from being open about their beliefs, or lack there of. I say it openly, usually only when asked though, and welcome any backlash it may cause. I'm just that kind of person. Still shitty though.

@iloveyousomuchdavion actually said "Christians don't just come at you with their beliefs."
It's because of the Inquisitions, the Conquests, and the Crusades (when christianity was spread by the sword) that you are a christian. Your cult has always been forced on others. Now you are gullible enough to believe in a dead cult leader as a magical sky wizard who will be back any day.

Typical butthurt answer, I'd say.
He presented in his video incredibly valid reasons why you have no right to be called persecuted because you live in a majoritarily christian society. I'm not sure if you know, but persecution is when people are physically assaulted, possibly killed when they express their beliefs. That is what persecution is.
If you think debates where you lose is persecution, then you're the one who needs help.

From then on, you get to live in Happy-land (except for fear of demons, gays, physics, communists, Muslims, socialists, evolution, music, astronomy, witchcraft, Internet..)
