  • What a lame-o.

  • Hi Brian, I almost subscribed to your channel. I thought carefully, enjoyed the debates, despite occasional emotional outbursts from your team, found Randi's vid intriguing in your playlist, disliked your intrvw with Todd Friel (which sought, successfully, to show an underlying emotional tone in your approach), and then when coming to this video decided to friend you and support 'atheist' rights from a distance. Sarcasm and humour at the expense of your opponents isn't helpful to your cause.

  • What it does, instead of sounding convincing, is give me the impression that you think of your goals as achieved, and your interests were (4 years ago) devolving into entertainment and typical juvenile humour typically engaged by theists rather than retaining an actual rationalist response. I think your citation of Sam Harris, who argues AGAINST THE RATIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF 'ATHEIST' AS COMPARABLE TO 'NON-ASTROLOGER', can be deconstructed as pandering. Rationalism transcends this simplicity.

  • Hey u know what i'm boycotting ur channel too...u..u...hmm..oh u wears glasses and i don like that..may jesus forgive u for wearing glasses...and ahhh and hmmm..ya ya u're right.. nobody is going to visit ur site and don't read in the dark..u..u...and don't call me kid...i'm 8 yo this yr..

  • LOL

    XD

    Website still up and working :D

  • no not really there smart ass but i think that religious people need to keep their preaching to themselves. hypochristianity thats all it is really.

  • I'm sure they were your biggest fans. They will be missed. *sop*

  • thats bullshit!! i dont understand why the hell they keep pushing their fucking views on us! BOYCOTT THE THEM BACK!!! bastards...

  • Funny. This profile said that you're 34 years old just a couple weeks ago, Brian.

  • Why are these Christians boycotting you guys again, I don't get it, because you are atheists and speak against Christianity. hmmm???

    It is not a right for Christians to force there beliefs on others who cannot believe or don't wish to. personally I am with you guys on this one and I am a Christ follower.

    Mathew 28:16-20 doesn't say boycott those who disagree with you.. lol :)

  • Quoting NOFXmike: "TO whom it may concern, "One Nation Under God, " doesn't apply to THE christian GOD."

    You know you're right! Because those words weren't implemented by our government until the 1950's! And even if they HAD been implemented before that (which they weren't), the founding fathers were Deists and not Christians, so it still wouldn't have applied.

    The Freemasons? WTF?

  • I deny "Team I Believe" -- I find no evidence for their existence. Really, what the hell they don't even have a website I can locate. Bastards.

  • This is clearly a much more useful than those people who don't know you exist. If you could get a good old fashion Southern Baptist boycott you'd be golden.

  • "Under God" may not necessarily refer to the christian god, but it does refer to a god, and if you check the definition of "god", I think you'll find that world domination is not one of them. Besides, christians aren't exactly in a position to critisize plans for world domination.

  • why isnt this video showing? it is just loading forever...

  • Quality. Quality.

  • TO whom it may concern, "One Nation Under God, " doesn't apply to THE christian GOD. If you hadn't noticed, this country has been run by the Free Masons, Illuminati and many other figure-heads who do not believe in the Christian God. This country has only one God--world Domination, AKA- NWO or New World Order. You Atheists have nothing to fear other than being exterminated by your own Government because to them-we're all a threat. have a nice day!

  • who cares? it still refers to a god, and many americans don't believe in that.

  • Where can I find evidence that the Free Masons have been running this country?

  • ...hmmm can't get the video to come up. Darn!  By the postings it looks like a good laugh...

    Sigh....

  • Pure comedy. Do you think you are some kind of messiah or something? You are nothing but a coward. If you really are against the religions, then try to make an Anti-Islam movie. But let me warn you, if you ever are going to make one, then I am not going to be responsible. But at least, you will not hear the word "COWARD" from me again.

  • @meganocturne are all extremist not eqaully dangerous every religion has extremist besides what hes doing does kinda go against every religion

  • Those wacky Christians...

  • What is wrong with this country! We live in a nation in which all people are free to express their ideals. This boycotting proves how Anti-American this nation has become. I may not entirely agree with the Rational Response team, but they are entirely entitled to their constitutional liberties. Get over it, not everybody agrees with the Bible!

  • Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

    For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

  • Howcanyouseethelight Quoting bible scripture to an atheist or agnostic is like quoting lord of the rings to show that smeagal is coming for your ring.-It won't do anything and they might look at you with a funny look.

  • Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me  or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you.

  • The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.

    So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.

    I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

  • A psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.

  • So what's the deal here

    are christians and athiests suddenly in an all out war against each other

    why are we hating each other?

    I'm a christian

    one of my best friends is an athiest,

    Why are there groups forming that are trying to stop the other group from holding a certain belief?

  • dude, how did you manage to keep your face straight for so long?

  • : Applause :

  • hahaha this is hilarious

  • I normally avoid AOLisms, but there is only one response to this.

    El oh freaking el. Amazing!! :-D

  • god bless ya

  • Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed.

  • nothin better than satirical and dry humor, i love it

  • glad the site is still up :).

  • Stay strong man. You'll get through this. You have plenty of people who'd back you up in a heartbeat.

    -Wynter

  • That is what is wrong with America now why cant christians let others live there life and have their own beliefs without getting upset when people think! And to think I once was a christian myself thanks to people like this it woke me up to reality!

  • You know I once was a christian and when my mind was free and open to reality not fairy tales it was like another world out there but if you think that is a sin!

  • "Christains" Why should I feel guilty about a god who needs to come to earth in the flesh to sacrifice himself to himself to save us from the wrath of himself

  • Don't worry. Soon the rapture will take them all away and then their absence won't even be noticed!

  • Hi Brian, Woody Allen could use you as a Script Writer for Gags. Very Funny! & I'm a Chaplain. I believe Woody Allen would be interested, HOLD ON! That's Totally IRRATIONAL of me, I have no "Evidence"...Allow me to rephrase that "I hope Woody Allen would like your gags"...OK, I hope there is a God. I hope you have a great day tomorrow. I BELIEVE you will. Please don't disappoint me Brian.

  • Team I believe in "fairy tales" only makes us push harder.

  • When Christians do that kind of thing, it just shows how IRRATIONAL they really are. Not to mention rude.

  • nice job stereotyping christians there.

    It would be the equivalent of my responding "When atheist type these kinds of responses, it just shows how shortsighted they all are"

  • Hahaha, this is hilarious! Right on, man. Unfortunately, I think your sarcasm went way above the heads of most people here. Well I enjoyed it.

    Whatever shall we do without the support of Christians? Oh, that's right - celebrate! We hit another nerve! Woohoo!

  • They played with fire, they get what they deserve. Praise God!

  • He doesn't understand that his prayers are useless, they have committed an unforgivable sin.

    Wow, these people just don't get it do they?

  • How is this possible? Pick upand run to a news channel!! Perfect example to show the world the difference between church and state is narrowing. Maybe we can get Islam to fight for us. Muslims shits seem to be abale to shut down shit pretty quick too? Fuckers !!!

  • Man, this is too weird. Believe in God or don't...who cares.  Just get along.

  • Sigh. If only it were that simple.

  • People who believe in god don't want to get along with everyone else

  • I agree getting along is a good thing. Sadly, as shown by people lying about the Blasphemy Challenge, Team 'I Believe', and the recent DDOS attack on the Squad site.. The Squad is attacked.. for simply stating their beliefs.

  • As an atheist (and an oppositional "a"hole) my favorite hobby has been going to churches and demanding equal time so I can ridicule the believers and the Bible. I have also enjoyed receiving condemnations and threats from Christians responding to my comments on YouTube. I cancelled my YouTube account today. I'll stop trying to "convert" the faithheads. But, I'm still gonna hand out copies of "All Along The Watchtower" to the Jehoviah's Witless's to go along with their magazines.

  • hey, if i could just make a quick point. Before you try to classify those people you've encountered as so called "Christians", it first might help if you found out who a Chrisitan truly is before you judge one as being so. I'm a Christian and despise those who hate and threaten...these you refer to our merely "Christianized", yet hypocrites in the same fashion.

  • Hey, stop bashing religion... we still need idiots in the world.

  • When you read through the comments under this video, you see the caliber of person the video appeals to. Not ONE funny or interesting comment, just a lot of Ha ha! and LOL! and Stupid Christians! and a few lame attempts at satire. You people are exactly as lame as the poor morons you're making fun of.

  • Keep a stiff upper lip, and hang in there man! Hahahahahahaha!!!

    Katalyzt

  • Stay strong, we are with you.

  • Are you really going to just give up? Do not underestimate yourselves! Look at all the media attention you have recieved with the Blasphemy Challenge! You are scaring the religious people of the world, they are just trying to scare you back! If all of us who are call ourselves rational responders have the courage of our convitions to stand against this, then we can survive this and anything else the religious people of the world can throw our way!

  • it is indeed a sad day when christians no longer give money to atheists :(

    rock on Brian! ^_^

  • *applauds*

  • it's not going to do that much damage, surely.

  • your countries fucking insane join the club!

  • I would like to thank you for your strength and leadership through this time of unparalleled adversity. How can our operation possibly survive without the support of a small group of backwoods Christian fucktards? I have been reacked with anxiety since this news, but your resolve will see me through it. You are a stronger man than me sir.

  • Unfunny, smug and pointless.

  • Leave it up to a theist.

  • You guys are all alike - anyone who doesn't like your stuff MUST be a 'theist'.

    This video not being funny has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with you being as petty as the poor dumbasses you're mocking. Artless sarcasm directed at stupid people just isn't funny.

  • No, we happen to remember you arguing for theism.  Leave it up to a theist to be dishonest.

  • You're right - I'm a Catholic priest, plus I just can't stop lying. It's a real problem. In my heart of hearts, I thought your video was REALLY FUNNY! It must take lots of talent to think up a lame-ass premise and then drag it out for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES. Brilliant! God d

  • You're right - I'm a Catholic priest and a compulsive liar. It's a real problem. In my heart of hearts, I thought your video was REALLY FUNNY! I especially loved how the whole video is just one spiteful, lame-assed joke but you managed to drag it out for five fucking minutes. Now THAT'S God damned creative!

  • C'mon Danno, course it was funny! You're in danger og losing your sense of humour again!

    PS Hope your well, good to see you are still around :-)

  • Hey! Good to see you here too! I remember our discussions. Thanks for the kind words, they are sincerely appreciated.

  • Dude, dont sweat it. Theres always the muslims and their generous financial assistance.

  • Dude, I hope you can work through these troubled times. Be strong!

    ;-)

  • Irony much?

    Maybe we could boycott their website as well...

  • That was quite predictable.Will you be attending the book burning too? thats always productive..peace

  • good you spread hate and people are waking up

  • What if this spreads?! What if Team I Believe gets Christians to boycott Atheism? They outnumber us and we'll have to shut down the entire non-belief system.

    And we've Blasphemed so Jesus isn't taking us back. I guess we'll be seeing eachother at the Hindu temple, Brian.

  • Be strong. You can survive this boycot! I once was boycot by "Team free the pigeons" for using a few thousend pigeons to do our pagerank calculations. And look what we've turned into.

    I wish you the best of luck,

    Larry Page, CEO Google inc.

  • Yeah, def one of the best vids.

  • *yawn*

  • I'm a Christian and I think this is pretty funny! That is so odd! What did they expect to happen by their boycott? You delivered it well. It sucks that you athiests aren't going to come to church anymore, though. We'll miss you guys!

  • You've taken this hard hit so gracefully. HA HA!

  • That wasn't a slight overeaction to therationalresponders. lol.

    I love satire.

  • I haven't gone to church since my parents made me. Actually my mom because my dad is an atheist thank god,lol.

  • O nose! This is horrible! Horrible!

  • Couldn't this have been significantly shorter?

  • It takes a lot of courage for you to deal with this horrible ordeal so well-I commend you. I recognized that this may happen and did a preparatory boycotting of church quite a long while ago. I hope this helps in your efforts-the boycott has already begun on this front. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this obviously very intellectual group.

  • You were already boycotting? Wow... what foresight!

  • St. Columbkille Catholic Church: Beware of my atheist boycott.

    *yady*

  • hummmmm

  • LoL! :D Oh noes, what to do? ;D

  • LMAO!!

  • You smart ass, Brian!

  • This may be the funniest dead-pan ever.

    It will be hard to give up church, to stop praying...but I guess I'll have to muddle through somehow.

  • Oh man, it must have been hard to keep a straight face for that entire speech. A good video as always. Keep it up. You guys impress me more & more...

  • As a Christian I can no longer buy your coffee mugs, buttons, T-shirts and hats. I hereby deny the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and will now unsubscribe.

  • Haha - I sense sarcasm in this video - haha

  • OH NO!! What will you do??? LOL

  • The christians can't even spell.

    What's really funny is that their first reaction is to call RSS "evil" and "demonic" - Isn't "demonic" their idea? That's like Jerry Falwell assigning a sexual identity to a cartoon character and then claiming the character is gay. Too funny.

  • Oh the humanity.

    We have been totally out maneuvered.

    Good bye all. We tried.

  • lol

  • the jig is up

  • Methinks someone doesn't grasp the concept of 'boycott'

  • I think I peed a little this was so fucking funny.

  • hahahahahahahaha... brilliant

  • oooooooooo scary 'Team I believe'. Your sarcasm is top, I reckon you was subtly taking the mick out of 'team I believe'. 'Team I believe' will pray for us atheists, what a nightmare! Oh the torment of hell!

  • its only some stupid christians chill out lol

  • I'll be sure to pray for you...you evil...evil heathens

  • Hahahahaha! I'll boycott churc.

  • I wonder if the static was added for dramatic effect.

  • So, they are putting a spell on you, right?

  • Hahahaha

  • Rofl

  • isnt this the same as a vegitarian boycotting meat?

  • Right on! Ignorence must have an end! Let's fight them back!

  • pring prian!

  • Oh noes :(

  • OMG! maybe we could pray for a miricle! HAHAHAHA!

  • LMFAO. Oh that was great. Well only one thing left to do is fold, all the major corporations do it when the religious right boycotts. It's been fun kids, cya in Hell. HAHAHAHAHAHAAA

  • Matthew 6:5-13 :P hahaha And don't worry I wont go to church "Anymore"... XD

  • LMAO

  • funny.

  • I'm crushed.

  • First of all, this sounds like a joke.

    Second: Internet Boycotting?

    You know that means nothing, right? WTF are they going to do? DOS attack you? It's 2007... good luck. Spam your forums? delete the message. Get some more forum admins. Ban IPs. EZ PZ! ROFL

  • sapiant i am boycotting you too not only that i am hacking you...muahahahaaa

  • i googled "team I blelieve" + "christian group"

    I found nothing related to this group. How big is this group? I wonder if it is just a small community thing..

  • I think it's about three people.

  • Your being a bit flip and loose with the word "people" Brian.

  • Does this mean Ted Haggard will boycott my botto?

  • Thanx for that idiots address. I'll send Satan his way. Hes a personal friend of mine. are you scared yet?

  • Damn them xtians.

  • I think I'm going to cry.

  • I have no doubt that people who hate us give us quite a bit of traffic. I have no doubt they pay attention to what we say as well - letters like the one Brian responded to is proof positive. Thanks. We're obviously doing something right.

  • Its all over... shame... i am sad :-(.

    Phua.. ha. hahahahaahhahahahaha

  • Yikes! It looks like the ride's over folks.

  • Bloody marvellous. Cheeks still hurting.

  • If Christians are going to stop funding our efforts to end religion, we atheists should stop going to church and funding religion. I, as an atheist, hereby declare that I am boycotting going to church.

  • Damn, what a letdown. I was really hoping th xtians would stick by us through all of this.

  • All right! Where's my turban?

  • The people boycotting the site probably visit it more then most atheists do ha-ha.

  • OMG. if there's a boycott by christians, where are we gonna get the money to run the website? Thats it im gonna follow brian's advice and boycott back: im not going to church anymore.

  • Curses and Drat!! It was nice being an atheist while it lasted, I guess its back to divinity school for me.

  • Fight on! We can pull through this trying and difficult time!

  • But if you want this site of yours, I suggest you don't back down. Fight back. Freedom of Speech is your right, so use it!

  • Recently I was boycotted by team " I believe " and my life has never been the same since. I can't explain to you how hard it is to exist as an atheist without the support of xians like team " I believe ". They were a big support to the Atheist Network, but when they decided we no longer fit into their picture, they cut us loose like so much chum into shark infested waters.

    I don't know if we will ever come back from this. Good luck Brian. I feel your pain.

  • Oh no!!! whatever shall we do?! Oh the humanity! How could they? HOW COULD THEY??!!

  • very funny sapient...very funny...nice try.

  • Oh noes!!! Teh Xtians r boycotting the site!11!!11 :)

    Keep up the good work :)

  • Bye.

    See, now if it was only about Atheists getting together, I wouldn't see a problem with it. But the whole "Blasphemy Challenge" thing just makes you look like a bunch of idiots who's only purpose is to put others down. Kindness, use it and I guarantee you will see better results.

  • Dude, you're kidding right.

  • the blasphemy challenge is to show we're not afraid of religion.

  • And to show how little of the Christian religion you know.

  • how does denying your religion show ignorance of it?

    i know much about your religion, personally. i have read your bible repeatedly, and had it interpreted by christians of several denominations. in fact, i left your religion because i read the bible.

  • Hell I boycotted church when I wanted to believe.

  • Now that is good sarcasm/sardonicism. :)

  • No, don't give up Brian! We'll still keep supporting you! Don't be scared off by this boycott... we'll find a way to make up for the lost funding somehow! Maybe we can hold a bake sale or something.

  • haha whoa dude, don't take it so hard man. It's not that big a deal.

  • Ever heard of sarcasm? LOL good vid btw

  • lol.

  • hahahahaha

  • At first I was like what?! But then I was like oh! Now I'm just laughing out loud. And I will totally boycott church. No more church! That'll show them!!!

  • LOL!

    Alright, seriously now....In response to this boycott I want you to know I am going to get in contact with you immediately to give you money.

    And I WILL go to church. I will go to steal from the fundamentalist church's collection's this Sunday.

  • Thats the spirit

  • OH NO WE ARE DOOOOOOOM!</over-dramatic-tone­>

    I think we should also boycott their god by not praying anymore!

  • roffle copter xD

  • Oh noes! We're doomed!

  • Lol, christians boycotting an athiest site?? OH NOES!!

    Athiests boycotting church?? OMG!!

    Soon the anorexics of the world are gonna boycott food. :P

  • Damn, is there no other way...i love church

    lol great vid i don't know how you didn't laugh when talking about it how rediculious

  • Is he being serious here?

  • LMFAO

    Can I still call myself an atheist? Can any of us now?

    Is this the end of atheism as we know it?

    I will now do my part and boycott church. Hopefully, together, we can all make a difference.

    Awesome video.

  • This is terrible news! But you must admit, as Bamboywtf pointed out, you are evil:)

  • I just hit the website and it appears to be running. Sorry for my writing, greetings from Colombia.

  • They must not have sarcasm in Colombia.

  • Ups! I wass almost sleeping!! that man is such a good actor!, i really think that was real, or at least the first part. And yes, we have a lot of sarcasm in Colombia. Greetings

  • Things like this are expected from people who are afraid because we have reasons and arguments and they dont, so they use some sort of violence, as expected. Dont let them get you down, you have the support of all the atheist and i am sure you will find help from one of them to secure the site and keep it running. Remember, we have reasons and they dont, dont let a stupid team stop all you and all atheist have acomplished. go ON! it is not that bad!!.

  • hi man, i am an atheist and a suporter. You look very sad in this video, i think more than needed. I use to have a web site and some team tried to boiccotme and succeded. But i just call the provider of the server, he give me back the control of my web site, i reinforce the security (for these i called some friends of mine, webmasters too) and that all, problem solved.

  • hahaha

  • Oh No! Anything but a boycott! What ever will we do!

    Awesome video. Let's just hope any christians watching aren't to stupid to catch the sarcasm.
