Pokemon battle: Atheist vs creationist fundie (animation)

[Roclonghorn11]

@tigersforchrist fail....

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@tigersforchrist

Take your irrational delusions somewhere else...

The universe is far from perfect (only a ridiculously tiny fraction of the universe supports life and the universe will eventually either freeze or implode). A supposedly perfect god would not be able to create something that is flawed. The same goes for humans.

Also, think about miscarriages and birth defects, mutations, cancer and other anomalies... that would be LOUSY design.

[stoneshatter12]

as soon as i saw the skyrm ref, i flipped off the screen and changed vids.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@stoneshatter12

Yes, I know it was actually a bad idea to throw a Skyrim reference in there, it doesn't really fit. I plan on uploading an improved version with faster text scrolling anyway, and I'll change that as well.

[stoneshatter12]

@SkallagrimNilsson xD well then, I got nothing to say other then thanks for changing it. I rather enjoyed this w/o the skyrm b/s.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@stoneshatter12

Thanks. That arrow to the knee stuff has become pretty old by now... when I made the animation it was relatively new and spreading fast. It just doesn't belong in here though.

By the way, if you like animations, I will upload more of those as soon as I launch the animation channel that I'm planning right now.

[stoneshatter12]

@SkallagrimNilsson aye, i did enjoy the animation and will be looking forward to seeing it

[baahhhFATALITY11]

That was great, very clever!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@baahhhFATALITY11

Thanks. =)

[baahhhFATALITY11]

@SkallagrimNilsson You are very welcome sir! It's also pretty neat because I lieks teh pokemonz. >:p

[Coppergasm]

"Oops, wrong game."

[kazikokstai]

Aweeeessssoommeee :D

[CidSilverWing]

Splendidly hilarious :D

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@CidSilverWing

Thanks. =)

[NotClassicButClassy]

Also, stellar video and great allegory haha

[MrMaaC94]

came for the title, left for the music.

[lilyalexandra]

Hahahah Yes.

[just1cede]

Very nice! Even managed to fit a Skyrim joke in there, haha. Consider yourself subscribed.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@just1cede

Thank you. =)

[TheGodofspeed]

The irony when Jesucon evolves...

[SturrStruck]

Ahaha, hilarious. Well done!

[iEatBabysNomNomNom]

i had to stop watching the second i saw "then i took an arrow.."

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@iEatBabysNomNomNom

Fair enough. I do realize I should have resisted throwing that one in there, even though at the time I made the animation it was still relatively fresh.

[NotClassicButClassy]

@iEatBabysNomNomNom Really? You decide to throw the legitimacy of an entire video out the window because your bloated snobbiness toward a perceived over-used joke is more important than a fair chance? Great standard. You must have taken an arrow to the head.

[RickyRecruit]

I couldn't watch because the text scrolled too slow on the screen

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@RickyRecruit

Yes, I found it difficult to estimate the optimal scrolling speed. People have said it's too slow, so I'll take that into account for future animations. Might even edit this one.

[mosher2k8]

Level 42 lol.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@mosher2k8

I was already wondering when someone would notice that. =)

[darkslayer19]

I wish Scienzerd was a real pokemon

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@darkslayer19

As if there weren't already tons of them... =)

[charmoyl]

this is so awesome! The concept and pokemon style works so well with the point you are trying to make.

I am niether against or for atheists and creationists, but i do admire a good animation.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@charmoyl

Glad you liked it. =)

[thomasjojo1]

Ahhah I laughed so hard at this xD

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@thomasjojo1

Alrighty, mission accomplished. =)

[000majorwinters000]

Careful, he could have started a crusade!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@000majorwinters000

Or bombed an abortion clinic.

[AdmiralValkyrie]

@SkallagrimNilsson

Then maybe someone could retaliate by bombing a church and force feed a creationist extremist a truckload of Church's Chicken?

[AdmiralValkyrie]

@MKKAnimation

Most creationists are delusional, and faith is not evidence.

[PedroPetrelli1]

freaky and atheist... i like it... (H)

[BlueEye096]

God, over a billion people's imaginary friend.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@BlueEye096

Yep, although the word seems a little inappropriate... I would not call someone who threatens you with eternal torture a "friend".

[mindexpansionpack]

In this video: "atheists" using crappy jokes to try and bludgeon home a point.

I wouldn't really mind if the underlying premise wasn't "we're smart and you're dumb hurr hurr". But that's generally the prolem I have with atheists as a whole. They can't keep their views to themselves. It's like you form a faith based around the mutual mockery of others you assume to inevitably inferior to you, which is ironically one of the chief accusations you make of creationists.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@mindexpansionpack

And another one who doesn't understand the point of parody.

The kind of fundamentalist creationist I was aiming at is so biased and potentially brainwashed that they just close their eyes and ears and don't consider any argument whatsoever. I've tried... they don't even respond to arguments. The most you can expect is that they try to jump at the seemingly weakest argument and repeat the same crap over and over again.

So all that's left is poke fun at them.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@mindexpansionpack

By the way, I hope you realize how grossly over-generalizing your comment is. You probably haven't even watched my other videos about religion, yet you seem to think you know everything about my position.

"They can't keep their views to themselves" Now that is just incredibly ironic... Have you taken a look at how many religious people behave?

[xXSoulsXx]

Maybe the problem isn't that Jesucon doesn't exist, it's that his trainer doesn't have enough badges to use him <3

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@xXSoulsXx

Hehe, that would make sense too. =)

[xXSoulsXx]

This is the part where you send out Raichu and have him Iron Tail and Thunder the guy till he gives you his money and experience.

[JohnnyExcitement]

This is awfully one-sided, doncha think? how do you expect to get your point across and taken seriously if all you do is make the other guys look like argument-less buffoons?

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@JohnnyExcitement

Of course it is... this is a parody, not an intricate debate. And the thing is, the fundie creatard type that I was aiming at there does talk more or less like that. Aside from "Gawd diddit", "you go to hell if you don't believe" and a demonstration of how little they know about evolution, there are not many rational arguments to be expected from such people.

Which is not to say that every creationist is like that (although I have not seen smart ones yet).

[xXSoulsXx]

@JohnnyExcitement You don't have to make most creationists look like buffoons... Most of the time they do a good enough job on their own.

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@AdmiralValkyrie LMFAO!!! Now THAT'S the truth! XD Even Beavis & ButtHead did that "The Morons" joke when they were watching Donny Osmond's music video. XD

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@devinwithapples Yep. ~_~

[devinwithapples]

it seems really boring and sad to have no faith in anything. too bad it is such a complicated issue that no one will ever agree.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@devinwithapples

Atheists do have faith in things, they just don't see compelling reasons to believe that god(s) exist(s).

Personally I'm technically an atheist but do believe in the existence of consciousness after death (i.e. afterlife). I don't claim this to be absolute truth however since I have no objective, verifiable evidence with which to back it up.

[XxSuRrEaLiStSxX]

@devinwithapples Science, reason and logic are the exact opposite of boring.

[sanunramma1]

very true. You can't deal with fundamentalist monotheist, and it's worse if it's a fanatic christian like that, it's useless and a waste of time, they're gonna insist with their contradictory and false speech until you get bored to death. That's why I was only christian in title (only baptized and made 1° communion, though never confirmed nor went to church nor prayed) and I started to consider myself as an atheist.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@sanunramma1

Yes, people like that seem to be immune to logic and won't even consider anything for a second that doesn't fit in their narrow-minded world view.

[Oblio1942]

I used to be an atheist like you... lol

[Humanoidbeast6666]

And hey! If you're against PETA for killing animals more than Michael Vick ever did, you should make a poke'mon video about an ASPCA member battles against the PETA member! ^___^

Now in case you're unfamiliar with ASPCA and PETA. ASPCA stands for "American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals". Whilst PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

ASPCA are good, PETA is EVIL!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@Humanoidbeast6666

Yes, I'm familiar with PETA... in fact I made a video about one of their BS-actions not long ago.

I had not heard of ASPCA before. Good to know!

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@SkallagrimNilsson Yep! ASPCA has been around for a long time. ^^

[Lemileant]

I like how the UI trails behind the pokemon when he walks away

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@Lemileant

Yeah, I like such weird moments when the gameplay mechanic is taken literally. =)

[DisturbedKoala]

I like this video though I'm technically a Christian. hehe

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@DisturbedKoala

But you're not technically a creatard, are you? =D

It's a question of being reasonable, and being religious / spiritual is not a bad thing in itself.

[DisturbedKoala]

@SkallagrimNilsson Oh I know this didn't imply that being religious was bad, but usually one wouldn't expect a Christian to like this sort of thing. I simply stated as such to point out that even we can enjoy this kind of humor.

And for the record, I found this video because of a user named "GodsImmortalGauntlet" had liked this video as well. lol

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@DisturbedKoala

Yep, I know what you mean. There is a lot of stereotyping, so some people might expected a Christian to be automatically offended by something like this.

Personally I'm not surprised though.

[proofandevidence]

wow this is funny

[Humanoidbeast6666]

I think both creationism AND evolution are BOTH right! But what that creationist did there...LMFAO!!!! That was funny! He looks like a dumbass!! XD

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@Humanoidbeast6666

The sad thing is, I've seen creationists talk like that before...

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@SkallagrimNilsson I know, right? I mean what I believe is that God/Jesus is everywhere but he's NOT an invisible man, he just lives in the universe.

And human mortals these days are making a big asses of themselves that it makes God facepalms and say, "UGH! You're doing it wrong! ~>=C"

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@Humanoidbeast6666

Well, if we're talking about an omniscient, omnipotent god he would hardly facepalm because 1.) he would have known in advance what humans would do at any time and 2.) he created them with all their flaws himself.

But nitpicking aside I know what you mean. =)

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@SkallagrimNilsson It's okay, I'm glad you understand. ^^ I'm co-existent(except towards Muslims, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses though.......they know what they've done! >=C)

[DisturbedKoala]

@Humanoidbeast6666 Care to message me as to why you're not co-existent with JW's? o.O I've met some that were ok, and I've noticed that they're largely misunderstood.

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@DisturbedKoala Well, look up "Animated Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrine" on Youtube, skip to 2:05 and you'll see why.

[DisturbedKoala]

@Humanoidbeast6666 Well no wonder then. The end of that video was falsehood propaganda in the media form of animation. o_O Everything else in that video was pretty spot on as to what they believe except for that one spot you pointed out.

Real JW's believe that God (not Jesus) will carry out Armageddon which is an event to do battle with Satan without involving his children on Earth. It will also lead to the time of judgement, however, he's not going to destroy or murder as the video depicts.

[DisturbedKoala]

@DisturbedKoala Or was it the other way around... Jesus, not God... I'm pretty certain it was God according to their beliefs as Jesus is supposed to rule over Heaven.... Then again they believe he's the leader of the angels which they believe is God's army against the demons and Satan.

Well I'll get back on that one as I'm studying different views anyways.

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@DisturbedKoala Really? I never knew that. I'm changing my mind then. ^^

But not mormons though, that mormon bitch Stephanie just bastardized vampires and werewolves on Twilight Saga. Ewwwwwwww!!!! She even made the black guy vampire the bad guy just cuz Mormons think all black people are but a curse. That's racist! O_O

Also I hear they treat women like shit. UGH!

[DisturbedKoala]

@Humanoidbeast6666 Well I don't know anything about Mormons quite yet, but I rather study about things from the source when it comes to these things. Not that I don't trust you specifically, but I've learned not to take everybody's word for things. It's the whole reason some religions have a bad wrap about them as people tend to just go by what they hear from people or see through some form of media. And at times it's hilarious what stories people come up for Jehovah's Witnesses especially. lol

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@DisturbedKoala Yes that is true. ^^ UNLESS if the evidence is obvious and exposed. ^~

I do know that Mormons believe in polygamy(which is opposite of monogamy 'cuz polygamy means marrying more than 1 person. Mainly a woman.Just like Muslims do. However in America, polygamy isn't allowed 'cuz it's frowned upon and against the law......except maybe Utah since there's a HELLEVA LOT of mormons there obviously.)

[AdmiralValkyrie]

@Humanoidbeast6666

Mormonism is a stupid and biased religion. Why else would there name sound so similar to the word "moron?"

And Mormons, if I mock your religion and it's not directed at you with the intent of insulting you, then you have no right or reason to be offended (and in the case of Mormons, if it was meant to insult them, then they deserve to be offended).

[lifeboy1992]

@Humanoidbeast6666 every religion i stupid, you know....

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@DisturbedKoala Mormons also think that Native Americans used to be white Israelites. Bullshit! Actually I hear Native Americans were originally oriental Asians. ^^ It's obvious, they're just red for living outdoors is all. ^~

[lifeboy1992]

@Humanoidbeast6666 I AM GOD... BELIEVE IN ME OR IT*S STRAIGHT TO HELL

[AdmiralValkyrie]

I hate most creationists. :)

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@AdmiralValkyrie

Understandable. =)

[AdmiralValkyrie]

@SkallagrimNilsson

The only point they have against evolution is that if humans evolved from apes, then why are there still apes in the world?

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@AdmiralValkyrie

And that's not even an argument, it's just proof of ignorance. Anyone who says something like that demonstrates that they have not understood evolution.

[AdmiralValkyrie]

@SkallagrimNilsson

Thanks, and I take it that the evolution of apes has more than one path (a path to humanity and a path to apedom)?

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@AdmiralValkyrie

I guess you could say that. Humans and apes have a common ancestor, which does not exist anymore, and have branched off into different directions.

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@AdmiralValkyrie I hate most creationists too. =3

And also idiotic atheists(no,no! Not atheists in general! I mean the asshole ones! ^~) like Richard Kuta & that fat bitch MarieChan. ^^

[scoreunder]

Ssssllllloooooowwwwwww  tttttteeeeexxxxxxxtttttt

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@scoreunder

You know, it's easier for fast readers to adapt to slow text than it is for slower readers to cope with fast text...

[SomehowCreative]

Veeeery nice XD that's totally my humor !

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@SomehowCreative

Thanks, glad you liked it. Your music fits very nicely for those somewhat wacky moments. =)

[thenameaintjim]

omg this is BRILLIANT! xDD

[pokieeuge]

That was AMAZING :D

and much hilarity.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@pokieeuge

Thanks. =)

[GodsImmortalGauntlet]

HAHAHHAHHAHA THIS IS HILARIOUS man.... I spread this shit around, you nailed it spot on

[DFTheNightmare]

@GodsImmortalGauntlet It's funny, because the Atheist looks a bit like you. Just throw on a badass pair of shades and finish the goatee.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@GodsImmortalGauntlet

Thanks, glad you liked it. =)

[bretthicksomega]

as of now, im the one dislike.... sorry

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@bretthicksomega

Could you explain your point of view?

[VonBlargh]

the first time the arrow to the knee joke made me laugh!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@VonBlargh

That's unexpected but nice to know. =)

[VonBlargh]

@SkallagrimNilsson Keep up the great work!!!! =D

[Alkimos666]

this my friend, is fucking fantastic! LMAO

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@Alkimos666

Thanks. =)

[kahah2]

i've never played a pokemon game :O, but i did giggle at this, good work

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@kahah2

You don't need to have played Pokemon games to understand the general logic of the battles, right?

[kahah2]

@SkallagrimNilsson of course you don't, i just seam to get a massive reaction from most people when i tell them that lol

[DFTheNightmare]

@bretthicksomega I'm an atheist and i usually keep to the live at let live policy. I just hate it when equally snobby creationists (or any other religion for that matter, but you'll mostly find christians around here) tell me to keep an open mind and refuse to do so themselves. I have friends with varying religions and devotions to them.

[bretthicksomega]

@DFTheNightmare i understand its both sides... and i apologize for my fellow christians... i witness to you, you say no thanks, "fine buddy lets go get something to eat" its not that hard, some people dont want religion... ok, its not like pestering them will do anything but make the whole experience nasty

i know, there are snobby and(in some cases) quite offensive religious people... the "your going to hell" people... sorry for them... they are idiots...

but thats my take...:)

[DFTheNightmare]

@bretthicksomega Yeah. I'm fine with religion, i have no authority to tell someone how to live their life. The same is true in reverse. I don't hate all Christians, just the bible-thumping jerks.

[Humanoidbeast6666]

@DFTheNightmare Here,here!

[kahah2]

@bretthicksomega why am i being attacked, i wasn't even talking about religion and you don't even know if i am religious or not,

[RobertMfromLI]

@SkallagrimNilsson how about if I finish your sentence in the description for you? ;-)

"To any viewers who might be offended by this I can only say: If the shoe fits... shove it far enough into your mouth that we can't hear you babble nonsense"

How'd I do?

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@RobertMfromLI

Sounds good to me. On the other hand it's probably not even necessary because such people have their head so far up their ass that the sound is very muffled anyway. =D

[Babyspam]

There is so much truth to this and using Pokemon animation made it worth while watching. Thanks for creating and posting this!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@Babyspam

Glad you liked it. =)

[KarmaEpsilon]

Maybe you can do another one where "Creationist" brings in his "Big Brother" "Creation Scientist"

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@KarmaEpsilon

Well, to me both are equally nonsensical. =)

[KarmaEpsilon]

@SkallagrimNilsson Well of course! But you'll always have that second set that says "BUT WE HAVE SCIENCE 2!!!!!!" When they really don't.

[TheMysticMage]

Loves teh arrow to the knee XD

[TeHGoodReverend]

Why Skall, why couldnt you just believe xD

[DubStepEdition]

all i need to do is show you my balbasaur evolving, thatl fuck all your religious theorys up

[gsx1138]

That was pretty cool. Too bad the creationist didn't use the "Banana of Doom" to prove his position.

[allianceofdemons]

in the faves

~Zierota

[27dcx]

LOL

[ThePhantomLion]

Didn't know you animated

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@ThePhantomLion

It's a fairly recent thing, I started to learn animation a couple of months ago.

[ThePhantomLion]

@SkallagrimNilsson It's very good, very fluid

[gotohellgooglization]

Creationist used PRAYER!.....its not very effective.

Athiest used RATIONALIZATION and CRITICAL THINKING!

...Creationist fainted.

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@gotohellgooglization

Ah yes, I forgot to add the "Creationist fainted" message. Oh well...

[chthonios]

heh heh, nice.

[moonlightavenger]

Awesome! Just Awesome! With a reference to Skyrim and everything. Excelent job!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@moonlightavenger

Thank you. =)

[emu4286]

Cool animation, must have put quite a bit of work into that. I would half expect the atheist's "pokemon" to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster...

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@emu4286

Yep, animating is always a ton of work.

Hm, I don't know, wouldn't it be kind of blasphemous if the atheist commanded FSM? =)

[AlphaOmegaSin]

Guess he didn't wanna be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch them was his real test and to train them was supposed to be his cause. He should have traveled across the land and searched far and wide to teach Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside.

He didn't though lol

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@AlphaOmegaSin

Nah, he just went the easy route of herp-a-derping along. XD

Well, at least he shouldn't have random challengers jumping at him all the time... they would be too afraid of catching the retard-plague.

[Schmidt54]

Priceless Skal, great animation too!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

@Schmidt54

Thanks. =)
