Flight from death: Response to angry commenters.

Fuck them. Religion is stupid.

@a300pilotster By saying fuck them, you're really fucking yourself since there really is no "them" only us! Whether you like it or not we're all on this pebble in space together and we must not feed the us and them mentality religion and other isms cause. We are social animals and we cannot survive alone. Yes religion is stupid, but if we value our fellow humans we must take the time to deal with religion in a rational way, or become nothing more than brute beasts!

Attention! I don't make videos to offend anyone. I make videos in the hopes that the truth may liberate at least a few from a destructive "us and them" mentality. I'm not really interested in fame, the famous are gonna be just as dead as the unknown. I am concerned only with making a less destructive world, for myself and those I leave behind.

@OpenAirAtheist Christians in the WTC towers wanted to be rescued from their eminent ascent to heaven. Mohammad Atta and the other hijackers wanted to fly into the towers to speed up their entry to heaven.

2 opposite reactions to the same thing. Sounds like somebody isn't sincere in their beliefs... Sounds like one group are lying to themselves. i wonder which group that is.

I'm not a theist defender, but they're not the only ones going to channels with opposing views and insulting. Have you been to VFX channel, or nephy's lately? It does go both ways.

I try, and normally succeed, to be respectful in my initial comments. But I can't guarantee that respect stays once I've been laid into. I've never understood the point of looking for videos opposing your view only to post insulting comments. It's different to post a comment to show how you think they're wrong though

@tommy605 Sir I can't control how other atheists treat their fellow human beings, only how I treal others. I personally think we all have a bunch of growing up to do, and throwing faith in the mix doesn't help!

[tommy605]

@OpenAirAtheist I agree entirely. Just pointing out it's not only believers that are guilty of this. Wasn't an accusation directed at any specific person. I don't think faith has ever really helped anybody with anything, other than a temporary mental calmness. It must be nice to be able to accept the answer to any question as "it's his will" and be ok with that. Personally, I want the real answer. Some days I think of how easy life would be if I just let go of reason and started to believe.
