hahhahahahah buffy the vampire slayer...christmas elves!!!!! your timing and delivery are brilliant. you make some very sophisticated and persuasive arguments here. let's hope people listen.
LOL - yes, of course I will. If that will make you feel better. I feel sorry for you. You preach about christian love, and yet you are a bile filled bag of hate. Pathetic.
saynotodarwin - aren't you yet another delightful example of 'loving' christians. hideously ugly behaviour. I'm delighted not to be part of your obsession. Neither am I afflicted with homophobia (usually caused by the repression of your own gay urges). Your fantasy land hell does not exist, and its highly unlikely that I would die of aids, a) because I'm a heterosexual female and b) a blood donor and c) don't take those kidns of risks wiht my body. I hope you wake up before the hate eats you up.
I'll admit to being a bit of a freak, because even though not an atheist I enjoy listening to atheists and agnostics because most of the time they seem to be the only ones capable of demonstrating free thought.
Whatever beliefs I hold, I try to hold them lightly -- and to question them regularly -- because I've observed that belief tends to blind people.
And "blindness" is just the opposite of "enlightenment," isn't it?
Being new to YouTube, I haven't yet come across jezuzfreek's videos, but his thinking is not uncommon. I like how you've responded to his kind of thinking. I've just subscribed to you.
Why have I not seen a video from you before? I don't understand how I went so long without seeing one of your videos. This is one of the best sensible videos I've ever seen on here. You did a good job at pointing out the mistakes in Religion and jezuzfreek, so I don't need to bother. All I have to say now is SUBSCRIBED!
there are mistakes in religion and in people but Jesus himself is and was and will sinless. being a christian is not a religion but a relationship with Jesus Christ King of kings and Lord of lords. God bless you
The Bible is flawed, so even Jesus is flawed. I'm not going to argue for hours about why because it will do no good. Would you blindly follow a friend just like you do Jesus? You know and can see your friend, but Jesus? No. Why follow something you can't even see? Religion is just a scam created to control people. Churches and God/Jesus don't need money. It's just a giant scam that has actually gotten pretty popular.......
Brilliant gay bloke, truly brilliant, although i would think that arguing with people like jesusfreek is completely pointless - since he's never going to go rational, he's clinging to his 'faith' like a penguin to an iceberg.
Good job calling him on his hypocrisy and pointing out how the belief system actually shows hate for his fellow man.
I'm not still convinced of blanket statements like "religion is at the root of human problems" (for example some religious practices may be more harmful than others, and some can be demonstrated to be beneficial)
OK - so maybe blaming religion for all of humanity's problems it a bit of a generalisation. But it is at the root of many, if not most, of them. Although, if you do a bit of digging, what's REALLY at the root of it all is the quest for power. Religion is a fantastic tool for control. And, of course, it discourages questioning of "authority".
I wouldn't lie to Jesus, and tell him that I completely believed in everything he said. That would be unfair to a man who tried to do as much good as possible throughout his life, wouldn't it?
Maybe we ran out of firewood? I'm sure that burning of "mouthy" and disobedient women would still be practised by some people in this country if they thought they could get away with it.
The old rooting out of witches was something else. Chuck her in the water - she sinks and drowns, she's innocent. She survives - must be a witch, burn her.
Yet another example of how religious thinking requires that you abandon any attempt at rational analysis.
i totally agree with that one. wasnt one of the ways to test if she was a witch to weigh her against a duck or something?
but mainly i think it was because the woman spoke up for herself or stepped out of line. you never know it could have been because they wanted to remarry.
"Yet another example of how religious thinking requires that you abandon any attempt at rational analysis." is creationism, i had heard a creationist asking why doesnt a monkey give birth to a baby human today?I LOL'd
I don't actually think he really thinks that, or that JF moonlights in a gay bar. This is basically just insult throwing, Christian style. Note how the insult is confounded with what is very likely a lie. But as you point out David, to people like YOKEUP, the definition of what is a lie and what is the truth has little bearing in reality. If you believe it, its true. The Orwellian overtones are hard to miss.
As great as usual. It would be nice if he would listen and take this in but the blinders are on but maybe those who are a little more on the fence will listen,
I saw the same 2 videos, and had the same reaction , but was not able to get my hand to stop face-palming long enough to make a video. Great work sir.
How much hatred must you have for your fellow human beings if you want them to simply not exist? You want them to be here one day and gone the next.

talking of devils demons and witches when was our last witch burning? LOL people dont believe in christ in england as much as they say.
wouldnt the pope have soimething to say about the lack of witch burning?
did witches get extinct? there has been no christian movement to cast out the demons of england
i wish people would just WAKE THE FUCK UP AND LOOK AT THE REAL WORLD! its already all been disproven
all logic aside, originally what was the reason we stopped burning "witches"?
