Don't fuck it up or it'll make you look stupid. I'm an American teenager who has this pet peeve about misspellings and abusing apostrophes. I try not to be anal about though. But you're right when it came to that message with the random letters jumbled together. Use proper grammar if you are capable my fellow teens! ♥
I forgot to say, your videos, along with others like Mr. Deity, are like THERAPY to me and my brother who broke free from childhood indoctrination. What you're doing is IMPORTANT! Keep it up =)
Got quite a few shared characteristics. I'm also a sydneysider, mirror your antitheist position exactly, and have a keen interest in japan (studied the language through school and recently went there with my mates for a few weeks). Our general group consensus also agrees with your estimation of japanese women ^_^
I object to individuals who discriminate against people who's spelling is under par. I am a diagnosed dyslexic (2nd gen diagnosed dyslexic) and rely heavily on spell checker.
He's not talking about people with dyslexia or people for whom English isn't their first language. He's talking about stupid and/or lazy people who insist on writing every comment like they were texting on their mobile phones.
thats not what i was sayin, i meant old english or the way shakespere wrote (though i did not know what english shakespere spoke with) he didnt speak exactly as they do today, right? or did he?. my point is there is no "correct" way to speak.
I agree with that, to an extent. However, keep in mind that nearly every language has at least one formal register, the "correct" form used in government, business, education, etc. In fact, many European nations have national academies to regulate their official language as it grows and evolves. It is this formal register's rules, as defined through tradition or institutions, that is the "correct" way to speak, at least in formal circumstances.
That would be "Shakespeare's." Apostrophes DO denote possession in personal nouns, but not in pronouns...except for "one's" as in: "One's ideas of religion are not sacrosanct."
Nonstampcollector, you should re-do your segment on apostrophes. They don't always signify missing letters and often denote possession.
Just a suggestion. <--Yes, Virginia. That is a sentence fragment. :)
I know this is a very late post as this video is 8 months old, but I just found and became addicted to your channel.
If you're still looking for another, free, graphics program you might try GiMP. It's open-source (free) and very similar to Photoshop. Don't worry, you can still keep the stick figures, it just has some nice features that might help you out (like layers).
NSC, I hate when people type "U" instead of "you". "UR" really pisses me off as well.
I play an online video game and 90% of the humans in native English speaking countries still don't comprehend the difference between "your" and "you're".
I think the one I hate the most is "u're" because if they are too lazy to type the word correctly, then why weren't they too lazy to add the apostrophe? Disgusting!
I also hate "NE1" instead of "anyone". That want makes me want to punch people.
I feel the same way. It started because sms has a character limit, but it then spread to the internet because a new generation of myspace retards was created. I believe some kids have actually started to write like that in school now.
as someone who got stuck (read forced) into going to sunday school and church and even as a young kid I was going WTF!!!! Your videos kick ass, has made me laugh and hopefully makes someone think for themselves instead of having crap shoved down thier throat to belive. I "pray " you keep getting showers.
What? I thought Jesus already was a suppository, I mean labotomy (note to self - when seeking medical treatment DO NOT get suppository and labotomy confused)
4:40 I couldn't agree more. Why is it that everyone who calls me stupid on youtube can't use the correct form of you're?? They always use the possessive and it really pisses me off. It's spelling you learn in fourth grade. Well, that's a creationist for you.
uhhm... yea... lighten up, it's not that serious. There's an enormous difference between beating the crap out of someone and making a stupid joke. The more I read youtube comments the more brain damage I sustain by just getting a sense of the sheer stupidity of some people, case and point...
yea... well... making a grammatical mistake is not a sin, it happens (and most of the time unintentionally). Stop being an ass about something so trivial. Illiterate people are not necessary "lazy". What about people that are just begging to learn English, or people with mental disorders? Are you going to bash them too for not being able to form a coherent sentence? Get over yourself...
Stop making excuses for lazy people. Grammatical errors happen all day every day and it's not an accident. I don't mean minor ones. I mean catastrophic retarded Americans attempting to communicate in their native tongue. Fucking idiots deserve to be made fun of.
So anyone with dyslexia is "lazy" because they can't spell? Please... Language is a form of communication not a law sent by god. If someone--like those "retarded Americans"--decides to slaughter grammatical syntax, it's their decision and making fun of them makes no difference. Yet alone stop them from doing it.
I take it like this, most jobs on average will discard your resume if it contains more than three grammatical errors. That alone is incentive enough for anyone to use proper grammar. So if someone uses l33t speak or unnecessary acronyms, who cares! They're not going to be taken seriously anyway. Getting angry, and pissed off at them makes no difference. You're not stopping people from doing, you're not stopping the problem. You're just fuelling the fire even more. Again, get over yourself.
Interesting that you went through what I've gone through, . . . the idea that "we can have a personal (and some say, "intimate") relationship with God. I came to the place where I had to question such a thing since I had never noticed anything even remotely approaching a "relationship". Bible reading and prayer is supposed to be the way God communicates with me, but relying on a book written for a general public never seemed at all personal to me.
I get a lot of my ideas in the shower too. It's a weird thing indeed. Even more ideas pour if I smoke a half-a-lung full. ;) Stay awesome, thanks for the video with your answers.
dude, you should totally do a video of a someone going to heaven and find out that he has loved ones burning in hell and have god giving some lame ass excuse as to why they're not in heaven that would hilarious, lol
haha we americans don't even like the people that spell like that. i personally think they choose to do it that way, but what do i know? i have been to japan and it is beautiful. i really miss it...
NSC: You are one of my favorite personalities on youtube. I know you said that you wouldn't respond to comments, but this is more of a message in a bottle is suppose. If you ever read this, I just want to say: Thank you for making such sharply written videos and bashing religion into the dust where it was supposedly spawned from (by its own account of course) You are a great artist in the true sense of art. Peace. Cheers.
I've heard some of the same background tracks on the Ultra-Lounge compilation "Volume 11: Organs In Orbit". Might want to check that out, if you don't own it already.
And thanks for clearing up "your" and "you're" for people, though Bob the Angry Flower did a great job too.
I liked the apostrophe part too, but then, dear No-stamp-collector, you should learn about proper spacing in typography. No effing spaces before punctuation marks, except in French, if you pardon my FRENCH !!!
Yeah, no kidding, we're telling them what's in their bible! I recommend every christian with whom the conversation arises to read their bible starting with page one -- especially women.
I'm an australian and i also love japan. about 2 years ago i was lucky enough to go there for 2 weeks. sure, there's the lauguage barrier and my inability to speak japanese well even when i have a translator dictionary.
My Question:
Do you find that communicating with japanese people is easier than it sounds as many of them know enough english that you can speak a mesh of japanese and english (jinglish as i like to call it)?
Depends on their age, and topic. I'm getting to a point now where I can do most things I need to do. I don't have accurate language, but enough words to patch some kind of meaning together.
Bonus Question: I'd definately like to hear more of what you had to say.
I agree about some of the earlier videos. A few have big gaps where they are a bit low on "making a point". Really evaluating their arguments and logical falacies is the best way to address them, not overemphasizing a point.
Hey Stamp, Are you into surfing at all ? Australia has some of the best surf in the world. Always wanted to go to the Gold coast. Thankyou for helping see whats real . I think I was just fighting for the hope of God. It was sad at first, like a big void along with self inflicted guilt. I'll always have my Kayakism philosophy though. No creator, no God or Jesus. Just a boat , Paddle , and the elements. And it can even be proved !!!!!!!
I kind of like the primitive look of the animation that windows 'aint gives. There's sort of a "Zen of shitness" aesthetic going on. You communicate the ideas very well with your illustrations, anyhow.
A few YouTubers use "xtranormal" text to movie. That might work for you too.
No, your stupid!!! Just mess'n whicha. I enjoy you're videos immensely. (did it again, sorry) I think that the email example that you showed was someone imitating Ali G.
You make some really quality videos (that is, the content is high quality...). I would like to make one small suggestion, which is that you continue to refrain from using "bad" words in most of your videos other than this one. I like to send this sort of thing to some believers I know and respect, but they get really turned off by those evil atheists cursing at them. Sort of silly, I know. But the Christian religion is full of silly arbitrary rules like that, as you well know. Thanks!
NSC cheers for the Vid. Japan isn't an atheist society dude. During the war they were brainwashed to think that emperor Hirohito was GOD. Now they believe in Buddha. Luckily only 1 % are Christians and the 1% of those sorry bastards think the other non believers are going to hell. Dude just wondering if you have heard any of my Nova Guy songs? There's also Kiseichu and Japanese Magazines. Good listening on stunpals(dotcom) Yes I even make fun of Gaba. Cheers man.
nonstampcollector, I love you videos. I also am a deconvert from Christianity. I was actually a huge, very conservative follower. What did it for me was learning about Apollonius of Tyana.
definitely redo ye old vids if you can find the time. it could increase the likelihood that others will watch and recommend them to others. i know i only watched the old after seeing the new. it's all gold, though.
you are such a nice person .. i feel as happy to hear this music and you talking about yourself as i do when i see George Carlin dancing in the end of his "7 words" routine
Suspiciously imagenary. Seriously, I could not stop laughing. By the way, it is pretty recognisable what you have been through. I did the same except you dismissed Christianity and I i dismissed the Islam. (and any other religion of course.) It is a lot harder for me to dismiss it because I would dissapoint a lot of people, normally I would not care because after all it's my life, but I might seriously give my mom a heart-attack if I said I am an Atheïst.
I still need to figure why there is alot more involved in leaving the Islam than other religions. (I personally think that it's because the followers aren't well educated and willfully ignorant/afraid)
I was wondering if I could be of any assistance in like, drawing things. Since I bought a new iMac 24 inch which has alot of cool options and animations, and I am going to study International Communication & Media. It would look good on my resume as well and would be a great practise.
I love your contribution to debunking religion! I love the fact you do it with humour. I don't feel it is necessary to re-do the original cartoons... they're the early classics and we all know you don't mess with a classic... it's like the early Simpsons... the early Simpsons are rubbish but at least we can see the evolution of the craft. KEEP ON KEEPING ON.... PLEASE!!!
I once had a Thai student ask me if I had seen "The Fast and the Furious" without pronouncing "s", and substituing "R" for "L" ----AND I UNDERSTOOD HIM. (What a great teacher I am!!)
Just found your vids yesterday, watched them all. I'm impressed. You really inspired me to write a book for friends and family outlining all the bullshit that comes with their religion that they probably have no clue about. Great job, keep it up!
And it's nice that you don't bring islam up, because actually, for what i've written at school (here in sweden) and texts from koran, their religion seems to be more fare than christianity and you don't need to be flawless, only mostly good.
And women have the same rights as men.
All the problems with "muslims" are other cultural issues, how women and other things are treted depends on the country an traditions older than islam itself.
Did you hear about the rabbi that collected all of the foreskins he had cut off? He took them to a tailor and asked to have a wallet made with them. When he returned to the tailor's shop to pick up his new wallet, the tailor pulled him aside and said, "ya know rabbi, if you go on vacation you can simply rub your new wallet it will turn into a suitcase".
"Scientology- no, Tom Cruise is doing a good enough job of making that look pretty fucking stupid." Sometimes the way you come across and say things makes me laugh hysterically. :)
Yes if you made a blog I would definitely join. I only recently discovered your vids and find them so refreshing. I also love sasha cohen, superman, and I'm asian. :) I just find out more reasons to think your great! Keep it up.
I'm doing two this weekend. I don't know where you are, but the first one will be 9am London time on Saturday morning, the second will be 7pm New York time on Sunday night.
I am just finishing my Phd in maths and then I want to continue doing research. Your videos are great. I wish I could contribute something about the debate with religion myself. I have to find an explanation why mathematicians are the most religious out of all scientists. It is clear why biologist would be the least religious, but mathematicians ? Some of my fellow Phd students are christians......
Jesus DOES come in suppository form. A friend of mine who collects weird catholic memorabilia actually found a baby jesus buttplug! She's still an atheist so I guess she never used it.
If I hadn't used any punctuation in that message, or if I had written its instead of it's, I would have deleted it and blocked myself, but I'll let myself get away with it this time.
I might sacrifice myself to myself just a little bit later this afternoon to make up for it.
You have brought me many chuckles, and many "oh that is so true" moments, that I commend your work and give you thanks. To him who is able to keep you from falling into the trap that is Jesus Christ, before all ages, now and forevermore, Amen!
I'm an American currently studying abroad in Tokyo, and I noticed that living in a mostly atheist country really allowed me to take a step back from Christianity and see it for what it really is. I used to be Christian myself, but denounced it long before I came to Japan. But in coming to Japan, Christianity became just as fictional as.. let's say Hercules. Or Athena. Anyway, I thought it's really cool you live in Japan too.
love the videos. I love the story of the bald guy rgetting God to rip cheeky youths to death with she wolves. That would be a good one. 2 Kings 2 I think
I teach high school Biology in Kentucky. All the things you say about some Americans are right on. Dumb and proud of it. Videos are great, keep it up.
LOL

I think the animation makes it all the better. Good or not, the characters and their expressions make everything so much more enjoyable.
Keep the same style of cartoons. Don't switch anything up. You're doing great.

I'm an australian and i also love japan. about 2 years ago i was lucky enough to go there for 2 weeks. sure, there's the lauguage barrier and my inability to speak japanese well even when i have a translator dictionary.
My Question:
Do you find that communicating with japanese people is easier than it sounds as many of them know enough english that you can speak a mesh of japanese and english (jinglish as i like to call it)?

Depends on their age, and topic. I'm getting to a point now where I can do most things I need to do. I don't have accurate language, but enough words to patch some kind of meaning together.

Bonus Question: I'd definately like to hear more of what you had to say.
I agree about some of the earlier videos. A few have big gaps where they are a bit low on "making a point". Really evaluating their arguments and logical falacies is the best way to address them, not overemphasizing a point.

Hey Stamp, Are you into surfing at all ? Australia has some of the best surf in the world. Always wanted to go to the Gold coast. Thankyou for helping see whats real . I think I was just fighting for the hope of God. It was sad at first, like a big void along with self inflicted guilt. I'll always have my Kayakism philosophy though. No creator, no God or Jesus. Just a boat , Paddle , and the elements. And it can even be proved !!!!!!!

I kind of like the primitive look of the animation that windows 'aint gives. There's sort of a "Zen of shitness" aesthetic going on. You communicate the ideas very well with your illustrations, anyhow.
A few YouTubers use "xtranormal" text to movie. That might work for you too.

You make some really quality videos (that is, the content is high quality...). I would like to make one small suggestion, which is that you continue to refrain from using "bad" words in most of your videos other than this one. I like to send this sort of thing to some believers I know and respect, but they get really turned off by those evil atheists cursing at them. Sort of silly, I know. But the Christian religion is full of silly arbitrary rules like that, as you well know. Thanks!

NSC cheers for the Vid. Japan isn't an atheist society dude. During the war they were brainwashed to think that emperor Hirohito was GOD. Now they believe in Buddha. Luckily only 1 % are Christians and the 1% of those sorry bastards think the other non believers are going to hell. Dude just wondering if you have heard any of my Nova Guy songs? There's also Kiseichu and Japanese Magazines. Good listening on stunpals(dotcom) Yes I even make fun of Gaba. Cheers man.

Suspiciously imagenary. Seriously, I could not stop laughing. By the way, it is pretty recognisable what you have been through. I did the same except you dismissed Christianity and I i dismissed the Islam. (and any other religion of course.) It is a lot harder for me to dismiss it because I would dissapoint a lot of people, normally I would not care because after all it's my life, but I might seriously give my mom a heart-attack if I said I am an Atheïst.
Furthermore, great vids! More please!?

Yeah - I know leaving Islam has a lot more involved than leaving christianity!

NonStampCollector 2 years ago
I still need to figure why there is alot more involved in leaving the Islam than other religions. (I personally think that it's because the followers aren't well educated and willfully ignorant/afraid)
I was wondering if I could be of any assistance in like, drawing things. Since I bought a new iMac 24 inch which has alot of cool options and animations, and I am going to study International Communication & Media. It would look good on my resume as well and would be a great practise.

Hehe good work.
And it's nice that you don't bring islam up, because actually, for what i've written at school (here in sweden) and texts from koran, their religion seems to be more fare than christianity and you don't need to be flawless, only mostly good.
And women have the same rights as men.
All the problems with "muslims" are other cultural issues, how women and other things are treted depends on the country an traditions older than islam itself.

Did you hear about the rabbi that collected all of the foreskins he had cut off? He took them to a tailor and asked to have a wallet made with them. When he returned to the tailor's shop to pick up his new wallet, the tailor pulled him aside and said, "ya know rabbi, if you go on vacation you can simply rub your new wallet it will turn into a suitcase".

I have to find an explanation why mathematicians are the most religious out of all scientists. It is clear why biologist would be the least religious, but mathematicians ?

I'm an American currently studying abroad in Tokyo, and I noticed that living in a mostly atheist country really allowed me to take a step back from Christianity and see it for what it really is. I used to be Christian myself, but denounced it long before I came to Japan. But in coming to Japan, Christianity became just as fictional as.. let's say Hercules. Or Athena. Anyway, I thought it's really cool you live in Japan too.
