Re: An Atheist Ad Contest!

[jkunder1]

you won =P

[angryafghan]

looks too much like the clothing brand Head, which incidentally people say resembles a penis

[draco5638]

For some reason it reminds me of the emblem on the uniforms on Star Trek, Not an insult I think its cool.

[shanethemainman]

so its a clit?

[Vaatrad]

Heh, it does look a bit like that.

[ilovetheview47]

@shanethemainman whats a clit?

[BigBates]

Im not even atheist and i think that logo is ballin xP

[GBanville]

Yeah, nice hood and clit logo.

[RealityChecker77]

Not bad

[Skullshot1326]

Simply Amazing. Amazingly Simple

[numbah1pinoy]

Very nice.

[puredeath323]

what is this song called?

[Vaatrad]

The music is the start of Jessica Archer - Via Dolorosa.

[ElJefer]

I'm against atheism ads, and as Sam Harris said, we shouldn't call ourselves atheists, we should just stand for reason, it's hard to be against reason.

[Vaatrad]

I'm generally of that position, I just thought this would be a fun little diversion.

[sextoys07]

nice

[ryanincro]

NIce vid, btw, what song it that??? Quite catchy i must say.

[Vaatrad]

The music is the start of Jessica Archer - Via Dolorosa, which is a song about the Crucifiction and Easter.

[Samiam180]

It's cool but it looks like the Head ski logo.

[Vaatrad]

Oh dear, it really does, doesn't it.

[Samiam180]

I still think that urs could win though because its really good.

[zzzdude9]

Looks like something from startrek...

[LunaGer]

short sweet and to the point. I love it :)

[maj1969]

Hi Vaatrad,

Could you please tell me what that symbol means.

[Vaatrad]

It doesn't have any inherent meaning, I was just looking for a simple yet distinctive shape. This one also happens to look a bit like an 'A'. I'm equating it to the word 'atheism' though.

[PsilocybinMagic]

great symbol! simple and clever, (or simply clever), like an ad should be. easily one of the top 5.

[Vaatrad]

Thanks.

[Erech01]

very nice:) awesome symbol also:) ahhhh atheism:) for me the best way to lead the only life your going to get:)

[dfarmer1584]

very simple. Very nice.

[NitronNinjaApple]

My favourite- awesome symbol (btw, what's the music?)

[Vaatrad]

The music is the start of Jessica Archer - Via Dolorosa, which is a song about the Crucifiction and Easter funnily enough.

[Kabane52]

You win.

[Rhonda9]

Awesome!

[farvision]

cool symbol!

[Vaatrad]

Thanks.

ONE LIFE

may be enuf for a MASTER but according to the lawz of KARMA each of us have lived hundreds of lives & are making the same mistakeZ over & over

FAITH is not an attribute of the non-believer 'cuz itZ fully grounded in the UNKNOWN yet atheists choose to ignore the FACT that PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY for example are rich depositories of MYSTERY

U needed more than 20 secondZ dude

THE SPAGHETTI KING

[Vaatrad]

The Laws of Karma happen to be missing supporting evidence so there is not much to be said for them and no reason to follow them.

Atheists accept that there is that which we don't know. Faith is grounded in choosing not to know, science is founded in trying to know.

I'm only getting 20 seconds or so because of the rules of the contest this video is an entry for.

[yrpapa5]

GURU

I can only speak for myself of course but I personally hold "supporting evidence" that the LawZ of Karma DO exist after an extraordinary session of past-life regression therapy (without hypnosis) by a reknowned Canadian psychic

Theists also accept that there is that which we don't know

I cant buy "faith is grounded in choosing not to know" cuz by surrendering to the Unknown we are automatically GUARANTEED knowledge

U were allowed 10 more secondZ

[Vaatrad]

Can you develop a hypothesis as to how the memories of past-lives are passed on? Or indeed how an individual can be said to have past-lives which are personal to them? Also one persons experience does not even come close to constituting sufficient evidence. Do you believe you cannot be tricked?

[Vaatrad]

Faith means you are automatically guaranteed knowledge of dogma. I'm quite fond science's rejection of dogma and acceptance of personal experience as truth, it has lead to tangible knowledge. Knowledge that lets us create things like ...the internet, say.

[yrpapa5]

VAAT DO YOU VANT?

Yes, faith to some can mean blind dogma, thatZ not my faithful intent. Try meditation & breathing excercises & U may get my point

When (1) is able to quiet the brain of itZ incessant chatter then maybe MAYBE (1) might be able to hear something NEW & totally distinct from DAWGMA

THE SPAGHETTI KING blogspot

[Vaatrad]

Tell me if the mediation brings you any great insights into the world.

[yrpapa5]

VAAT?

Brother U will have to try it for yerself. On the physical side it has lowered my blood pressure, also mentally relieves tension, fatigue, anxiety & the UNIVERSAL disease: DEPRESSION

I believe people are DEPRESSED because they have separated themselves and/or feel separated from their SOURCE, namely God, Yahweh, Buddha, Allah, Divine Mother, WHAT HAVE U?

[Vaatrad]

I'll wait for science to tell me it's the best thing to do, I trust science's impartiality.

I'd prefer depression to delusion. That said, atheists believe people are the only ones that can make the world right. I think it's quite exhilarating to think that we are the ones with the power and the responsiblity to do good and be there for each other.

[yrpapa5]

SOUNDZ deluded AND depressed, but go for it, DAWG!

[Vaatrad]

Not believing in magic is deluded?

[yrpapa5]

HOUDINI was a great entertainer did U know he had a fake 6th finger where he kept all his "toolZ"? but guru he was not

Starry nights & 200 billion galaxies are very "magical" but magic magic?

What makes U think those who believe in The Force (as in: "May The Force be with U!") believe in magic?

Yes Im powerful & responsible & Im here for anyone believer or not

[fuddyfoo]

"I trust science's impartiality."

That's called faith.

[yrpapa5]

VAATZ GOING ON

No I cant my friend but my unique experience with regression therapy joined with the serendipitous discovery of a rare mss. handwritten in a trance that reveals MY life as a Polynesian warrior in the 16th Century solidified it for me (Im writing a book about it)

A good scientist never excludes the EXCEPTION which often holdZ a key to the whole truth & nothing but the truth

Tricked Im not

[Kabane52]

6/10

[Septumtusk]

Did anyone else think of the United Federation of Stars upon seeing the symbol? :) (gorgeous ad!)

[Vaatrad]

Thanks, and I guess it does look a bit like the Federation symbol.

[JulinhobelieveJESUS]

hahahahhahahah thats the begining of a christian song so i guess that the person who did this was listening to it LOL

GOD BLESS YOU

[Vaatrad]

I was searching for copyright-free music, this had the good beginning I wanted. I only listened to a bit more than the beginning just to see what it was about. When I discovered I just had to use it for the irony.

[trumbone]

inspirational!

[Vaatrad]

Thanks.

[siciliano29]

I love the music - it's perfect.

[Vaatrad]

It's from the start of a song about Jesus and the crucifixion, so shhh don't tell anyone ¬_¬

[KT45]

This is pretty good! 5 stars!

[sablechicken]

cone heads?

[Vaatrad]

Heh, I hadn't thought of that.

[sablechicken]

Sorry that was just my gut reaction, nice music...like an ending to a good movie.
