What a joke. nobody is stopping you from saying all the stupid silly ridiculous things you want to say. You should spend some time in North Korea so you can find out what REAL persecution is.
Yes, because your ignorant enough to wear a shirt that says "be intolerant" and stupid enough to feel persecuted in having to keep this to yourself publicly (every once in a while). Disassociate yourself with a christian martyr and learn some respect for other peoples beliefs.
Oh lol! The hypocarcy of christians asking for tolerance.
If christians had it their way they would persecute homosexuals, atheists, people of other faith in America.
And if the mormons had their way. Why, just about every non-white would be persecuted.
Christians are free to practice their religion in America in chruch and at home. They're just pissed off because things aren't going their way and now they want to play the victim.
Christians can only practice their faith in church and at home? Is that what you think? How "intolerant" of you.
My 4YO daughter had a gay preK teacher. That was fine & I thought she was a good teacher. My daugther loved her - until told she couldn't mention Jesus at school. My daughter was in tears. Jesus is her best friend. That's when we had a problem. I made sure the school understood about 1st amend rights. My daughter got an apology & all was well again.
America is the land of the free, so if the majority of America is of some Christian denomination, and you're dumb ass isn't being persecuted, but being allowed to speak about Christians so freely, then you're wrong. You should probably check out the nation of Islam, pretty soon you'll wish you lived amongst "us" Christians.
dude seriously check out catholicism and the muslim connection............protestants are the KKK..........stop labeling cliques as christians, its all to throw you off and hate the real christians........we dont belong to "cults"
Can you find me one Christian that is not arrogant, selfish, ignorant, intolerant, moral.
You will not find anyone I can assure you because religion represents one of our selfish pursuits, it creates delusional sense of knowledge where god did it answer explains everything which is arrogant, it is immoral since it places character infront of teachings etc...
You do belong to cults ignoring the facts will not count as fact :D All religions are cults.
@PhreakStep Not true there are plenty of non arrogant, selfish, ignorant, intolerant, moral christians. There are probably just as many of them as there are non christian ones.
@PhreakStep It's foolish to say there are none that aren't selfish, arrogant, or immoral. True the majority of the population but there are individuals who aren't so.
Are you saying drink regular drinks or alcohol? So it's selfish to have the basics of survival? That isn't selfish. I wouldn't say being one with the universe is necessarily selfish either. Foolish yes, selfish no.
There is none or can you give me an example of the person who isnt selfish you can help others and not receive physical reward however if that makes you feel good it is still selfish.
Our basic insticts of survival are selfish ones because they are what is BEST FOR YOU.
If you think that if you are the only one who is one with the universe that isnt selfish?
you think those cable ministers yelling and fainting reallllly represent christians? its part of a bigger picture, its a game the media plays homie.....
Of course. Rational, sensible people always stand up against hate speech. But frankly, this is a load of crap. christianity is the majority religion in this country. As much as many of us would love for you to shut up, your cries of persecution are utterly ridiculous. It may be a nice little thing to scream from the pulpit, but christians persecute far more than anyone else in this nation.
We are familiar with 'survivor's guilt' and we know that children are so very prone to blame themselves for divorce, the death of a parent or sibling... Yet christians think nothing of teaching even very young children that they are born into sin, that their best virtues are but filthy rags in god's sight, and that they personally are responsible for the betrayal, torture, and death of the best man ever to live. They are taught that they deserve hell. This is evil. This is child abuse!
As a Christian, I teach my daughter that she is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. I teach her that she has a beautiful light inside of her and that she can be the salt and light of the world. I teach her that she is beautiful and so is everyone else. All are beautiful even the disfigured because God makes us all individuals.
Christians are just pissed because the laws and policies of America are no longer based on Christians beliefs...... how funny that Christians claim to be discriminated when they are the largest religious group in America and its not like the surveys say that most Americans wont want you as their president if you are a Christian
The time of dark chaos approaches us. We will join our hands in the demon's realm. The holy light cries out in pain. The lies of god have been cast aside. The powerless now cower before the master. While they mutter their prayers of ignorance. Singing empty songs of their defeat. They can not hide from Satan's wraith. He shall feast upon the hordes of sheep. Their tender blood, drunk as wine. Their life-less bodies, quickly devoured. Their brittle bones, have built his throne.
im sure religious freedom is all about a christian majority i mean look at greece they even have a state sponsored church and of course it has nothing to do with the fact that western nations have adopted democracy a little bit quicker then the rest of the world or that the western nations arent afraid of "God" because a little crop failure in one place wont mean starvation for the entire area christianity has nothing to do with freedom of religion if they could they would burn witches again
Hey there is no dobtt that blacks are heavier in crime then Whites,,but I am talking about Chistianity ...actually ALL religion is Sick,,and that is the majority of prisoners...sick!
Of Course you are,, and the rapist in my City think that Women deserve to be raped because of the way they are dressed, and that the Christians long ago had the right to Kill those evil Witch'es .....we are such fools.
UR,,first off I am not a "lady" I am a man who has served his Nation in the AF and am a Firefighter,, and am raising a Fully Blind Child. Your so called "Christian Nation" has inslaved Blacks, seperated Races , burned people at ther stake, kept women from voting, Killed Native Americans all in the name of Christianity. That whay American is no longer cow towing to your Religious needs,,,You Dangerous!
UR, you are the uneducated fool, this is a secular nation and it was written by our forfathers that this will never be a nation of any Religion nor will it be ever governed by a religion!
Our Nation was not founded on Christian Principles ,many of our Founding fathers were Deist, not Christian and that is a fact, Secondly Atheist do not have "Theories" we just believe in one less god, than you do. Our Nation is a secular Nation.
We are having our freedom of speech violated in America, though we are not being killed for Jesus, yet. We do not seek dominion, subjegation of the masses or tyranny of others. Others seek it over us. Christians seek freedom, that's why we founded America. Give me a valid argument, keptyeti.
why should i give you a valid argument, when you don't need one to accept jesus?
if your free speech is being violated, its not by those upholding the constitution; but by radical religious special intrest groups, like islam and scientology
Yes, you must have a valid argument to accept Jesus as God and Saviour. Only a mad man bows before someone without knowing who he is or why he is bowing.
Give me a valid argument, if you have one. If not, my argument is true and valid.
Valied arguments are true if their premises are true. You have NOT offered a refutation of theism. Therefore, my argument for it stands. Provide an argument for atheism.
I can defend monotheism with logical necessity and then I can refute ALL wordl religions and defend Biblical Christianity as it contains no internal contradictions. ALL world religions contain internal contradictions just on the "nature of God". You need look no further than that one issue.
ChristianVoice08 "You have NOT offered a refutation of theism. Therefore, my argument for it stands. Provide an argument for atheism."
that premise would be true had you actually offered an argument for it. since it is your position that violates the null hypothesis (that Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens aren't transcendent), it is you who should provide an argument for the non transcendence of Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens.
normally i like hearing the pathetic arguments of analienists trying to deny the power of Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens; but you don't even pass the turing test.
anyone with any sense knows the universe was created by a pantheon of transexistant beings known as Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens. i dont even have to refute your religion, since you have to provide a reason why your god must exist in order to cause existence. yours is a self contradictory paradox that can only be resolved by making your god transexistent; even though your holy book says god "exists" and thus cannot be transexistant; and is thus false.
You have not defined or proven "transexistentialism" or the ability oof the aliens to create the universe or the existence of the aliens.
We argue for the transcendency of God over His creation as He transcends His creation because He created it and all things that were created. You have not provided any premises for your claims, SUM. Provide an argument, please.
"You have not defined or proven "transexistentialism" or the ability oof the aliens to create the universe or the existence of the aliens."
Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens are super powerful, hyper intelligent, transexistential beings. define god.
you claim that god transcends everything in his creation except his existence is not only baseless, it is self contradictory, as i have alraidy shown. what is the basis for your claim that god exists?
"transexistential" means: beyond existence, and not limited by reality. because your god isn't transexistential, and is thus limited by his existence, he could not have created existence.
how could he, when he has to exist?
if you want evidence for the transexistence of Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens. how about the fact that if they weren't transexistential, then you wouldn't exist.
the Kalam Cosmological argument? i use that to afferm the transexistence of Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens. this argument can only be used to support transexistentialism
you cannot use that argument to prove christianity; because your gods' ability to cause existence is limited by his existence.
No, you cannot use that argument to explain a pantheon of aliens. I think you are full of crap and do not know anything about philosophy. I will not be responding to you any more. Sorry.
Good video. How are we irrational? Ad hominum attacks are invalid, guys. So, give us an argument. We are not afraid. We are capable of defending our faith in Christ through history, logic, and philosophy.
How come? Because the conquistadores in south america killed the missionaries there because the clerics did not allow them to kill and force-convert the native americans? Because the churches were the only places in america were the blacks were shielded against harm? Or is it maybe because the pope intervened time and time again against the frequent wars in europe? It is you fanatical atheists that are revisionists. Please, stop persecuting us christians because you cannot grasp true goodness.
I am willing to tolerate your beliefs although I understand them to be irrational. I am unwilling to submit to Christian dominion over all of society for the same reason that you are unwilling to submit to a logic-based utilitarian dominion over all of society: IT IS BECAUSE NEITHER OF US IS WILLING TO SUBMIT TO THE OTHER'S DOMINION OVER HIS FREEDOM TO LIVE AS HE CHOOSES. Say whatever you please. Just steer clear of public policy. You have no authority over it. We'll stay out of your church. ok?
I am so proud of you for making this video. I will be going to the polls today, and writing a resolution about freedom of speech. Good job! Be Blessed!
Huh? Did you watch the video? He is pointing out the utter lack of tolerance for Biblical Christians. In the name of tolerance our freedom of speech and religion is being taken from us. Wake up and smell what those tolerant people are shovelling.
You actually think you are undergoing religious persecution? You have no idea what it is to be persecuted. You are in the majority you whiny pampered brat, if not please, show me a canidate who isn't a jesus freak so I can vote for a non-cultist... Oh wait cultists ARE the only ones with noteworthy political representation, silly me!
You may not be outspoken on the streets but your anti-theist slime is smeared all over the biggest domain in history...the Internet!!
I've met many of your kind all over cyberspace! I've got people telling me how your nation's public schools are filled with atheists! You speak of free speech yet you cannot bear to see that right used by those with different beliefs! I've even got a few atheists who say you're outnumbering us! I could give you all the evidence you want but it won't fit here.
Oh wait! I suddenly realized I don't have to! Go to Yahoo! Answers Religion and Spirituality Category I'm sure you could have a huge party over there with your fellow anti-theists! You'd be right at home there. Oh and for the road, try searching for a vid featuring a Philippine Exorcism released by National Geographic. Look for the comments of a guy called drakeblackhorn. Finally, I'm surprised that you can't even count the number of atheists you can meet here. 'Blasphemy Challenge' anybody?
I'd love to stay and chat some more but I've wasted enough of my God-given time on jerks like you. So if you'll excuse me I'll go find something better to do, like living my life?
those ppl dnt kno what being a christian really is..sure you should try to spred the news but that doesnt mean that u should persecute ppl and mob atheists!! in fact that's pretty much the opposite of what a christian should be. it annoys me when ppl c things lik this and then supposed "christians" post comments and then the ppl who arent churched are completely mislead about what chriatianity really is
I'm also a Christian in America. "They" haven't tried to silence me. Of course, I haven't tried to get the government to spread my beliefs. I haven't tried to get the schools to push my prayers.
I can pray in school, and in public. I don't want government to puish any religion.
And yes, I am "irrational." Faith is a belief which cannot be proven.
Namaste: "the spirit in me recognizes and honors the spirit in you"
If only more christians were like you. You have your priorities straight and you are thinking of other people, I detect sincere honesty in your typings. Atheists, Christians, and all others types can get along great as long as the wall of seperation stands high and respected! I will not force atheism on your children if you do not force christianity on my children...deal?
oh no, you shouldnt have brought that one up..it is diminishing the christian majorities "persecuted status"! The Christians have *always* been persecuted by the atheists! You might get your house firebombed by 20 persecuted christians for putting that video up on this christian persecuting youtube! Those Christians are so persecuted!
I have a good atheist friend in Oklahoma, he tells me that the atheists over there are scared out of their wits to let anyone know they are atheists for fear of mobs of persecuted christians coming out of the woodwork to ruin their lives. Being open about your atheism is like saying "Please preach my ears off because I'm so evil and stupid for not being a (insert correct denomination here) Christian."
Oh, please. We non-Christians aren't collaring you on the street to proselytize our beliefs and try to get you to change your ways THE WAY YOU DO TO US.
I've been an atheist for over 30 years, but I never minded that others weren't until lately. The Bush administration has allowed religion into government in too many ways for my liking. The Christian right is beginning to control America. These things are what have made me stand up against them.
calling someone irrational is not the same as trying to silence them by force. I think lots of people are irrational of all backgrounds, but they do have the right to their irrational opinions as long as I'm not expected to conform to them. that's all I'm sayin.......
no dude, the problem isn't that you're a christian. it's that many of your christian groups want special rights and to run the government. stop doing that, and the majority of people won't have any problem with you worshipping as you choose. tell your groups to stop it!
Exactly what did they try to silence you from saying? That you hate gays and lesbians? Or is it that you demonize atheists? Perhaps your dehumanization of secular humanists? Exactly WHAT is it? Yeah, christians certainly love to equate tolerance and hatred.
He isnt going to do it Revatheistar, hes only playing like he is oppressed so he can get some sympathy from his fellow haters. In reality this man has a VERY popular and openly expressed view point. And Christians wonder why we atheists call them irrational kooks.
Yup, all a scam, definitely. Just another Liar for Christ™ with a flock of millions to back him. Poor guy with his government sponsored Christian holidays, thousands of parochial schools and unconstitutional theocratic intrusions into our secular America. Let's all weep for his losses.
Aw, poor tyranical, theocractic bullying majority! We have so much power and money but it's never enough! We want it *all* and until then we are the *persecuted!* Reminds you of the complaints of the poor, underpriviledged Paris Hilton, doesn't it?
What? Christians dominate America and it isn't enough? Would it make you feel better if every single home in America had to conform to Christianity against their wishes? Should I be forced to raise my children up as Christians just because you CLAIM that you are being oppressed? Honestly, what world do you live in? My children are forced to pray to your god every morning in public school, and your god is on all of our money!
Yes friendlyagnostic, its called the pledge of allegiance, and it most definitely is a prayer to a flag and the god that is under. I personally should sue the F%^* out of the school for that shit, but I am afraid that those persecuted and silenced Christians in my community will fire bomb my house and letter bomb the local newspapers about me. I would never be able to find employment on this side of America again.
ah yes, I'm not surprised. been through there and was amazed at how "biblical" it is. I live up in Washington DC, it's pretty liberal here, so sometimes I forget how bad it is in the bible belt. the fundies are a minority here and we pretty much ignore them. they've been making more noise here lately though and it's really starting to worry me. they are growing rapidly and are anything but silent. I'm sorry you have to deal with them so much.....
wait wait...you guys claim all the time about america being founded on christianity. and here...why now youre saying that youre being oppressed? that makes so much sense. good job. i guess we should all feel terrible that theres a few people in the world who have realized your religion is bullshit and has actually spoken against it. theres a difference between being oppressed and offended. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
i love your shirt 'be intolerant' . . that's a really great christian message . . and how have people silenced you? a christian president, a majority of the population=christian . . any athiest that peeks his head into the bible belt is outnumbered by prosecuters claiming he'll burn in hell . . how is this silencing you?
Wow thank you for your ever so tolerant comment. You are definitely a harbringer of the truth that people can freely speak their opinion and not be biased against.
Well, you do have athat look on your face. Honestly, for someone who has been silenced and oppressed all of your life, you sure do look confident. Even with that tape over your mouth, we can see the free confidence flowing from you. People who are normally speech oppressed are very timid to display their thoughts. You didn't act the part out correctly.
so, it's ok to silence nonchristians, but it's not ok to silence christians? the only people trying to shut you bible-thumpers up are the ones who are deeply offended by the hateful trash you constantly spew.
so tell me again how christians in AMERICA are persecuted?? when you drive by a normal city, how many FUCKIN CHURCHES DO U SEE?! the only time i c a temple or whatnot is when i drive by minority spaces within a large city. like certain jewish communities, or if you go by china town u might c a temple, but EVERYWHERE ELSE u will count more then one church.
Yeah it must be so hard being a christian in America, after all, they arent allowed to have christian programs or viewed expressed on TV or radio, they're banned from putting huge billboard advertisements up by the roadside, and imagine what would happen if they tried to get any christian representation in the houses of congress, or the whitehouse! Oh the humanity...
Yeah right, if only that was true..LOL..You can talk about anything with the people in my state without them eventually bringing up Jesus in the conversation. Jesus has become so saturated in our community that I am sick of hearing it. If only Christians would ACT like the oppressed citizens that they THINK they are, then we might actually get some real discussions on the table...but since when did a Christian in America give up a chance to preach, especially in front of a captive audience.
So the question I would ask is that, would you prefer if he did this video, or would you prefer if he never did it. People have called Christians, "narrow-minded" or "intolerant" towards others. So we become quiet, we don't say anything, because the very people that accuse us of being intolerant to others are intolerant to us. To stand up and insult you and try to MAKE you believe what we do goes against the message of love that we represent.
you cannot be christian and seriously be tolerant of others. you can honestly say that you believe everyone in the world that does not believe in jesus will burn in hell? PLEASE. that is the biggest load of bullshit ever. how can you have a message of love when the real agenda is, either youre with us or against us.
What planet are you living on? Christians are narrow minded and intolerant because the bible says to be that way. I don't know of any christians who "become quiet" about their faith unless they are decent people who do it out of respect to those who take offense. If you don't want people to laugh at you, then don't have such funny beliefs. There is no "message of love" in Christianity. Their definition of "love" is the problem.
That just shows Christians don't really have faith in their god. Jesus never mentioned hospitals, medicine or going to the doctor to get better. He healed people directly and instantly without any help. So did the apostles in Acts. Jesus also said if people believe in him, they can lay their hands on the sick and they will recover. Hardly what Christians do today in those nations.
I don't think you're an ignorameous, but what you just wrote makes you sound like one. Christians base their belief on the bible. The Bible never said that they couldn't express their *love* through *helping people* with whatever means they can use. Jesus spoke in metaphors- he even admitted that himself. Next time you gripe about something, try to sound at least seminally educated.
The bible also says to hate your family to be Jesus' disciple and those who don't believe are damned. You might as well be a nazi (which were a christian party) defending Hitler by saying only the GOOD Hitler did for Germany, and ignoring the bad stuff which far outweighed anything good Hitler did.
First off, the Nazi *party claimed* to be Chirstian- in actuality, they embraced Nietzsche-- the most anti-Christian of all modern philosophers. In addition, they embraced Heidegger-- another anti-Christian philosopher. Thats like saying Mao Tse Tsung headed an atheist party. Finally, Jesus spoke in metaphors!! He was simply making the point that committing to Christianity is something you have to do ONTOP of everything else in your life. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN.
Nowhere did Hitler deny Christian faith nor close christian churches. He was a christian til he died. He attempted to form a United Reich Church. He was helped into power by the Catholic party of Germany. He admired Martin Luther as a great hero. How was Hitler NOT a christian? If he was not a Christian, then Osama Bin Laden is not a muslim.
Hitler did say anti-christian as well as pro-christian stuff and he did kill christians who disagreed with him too. no one knows for sure if his quotes about how much he loved christianity were real, or designed to get the "support" of other certain other xians and the church (which he did get unfortuantely). either way, it sucks. dawkins explains it well in his book in the Hitler section
If Jesus was God and wanted people to believe in him without confusion, then to say such stupid things contradicts it. You have not given any facts, only your opinion. What won't christians like yourself LIE about?
1. Almost all hospitals/aid organizations have been or are Christian organizations.
2. The academic forum is intrinsically biased against Christianity- even in philosophy and religion classrooms.
3. The Nazi party glorified Nietschze- the most anti-Christian philosopher of modernity. This nulls your point about Hitler and the Nazis truly being Christian.
You don't know what a "fact" is apparently. All you did was give me your opinion and no corroborative evidence. A fact requires evidence. And people of other religions also have hospitals and aid. You gave no evidence for your claim about academic forums. You gave no evidence for the nazi's glorifying Nietschze or how they were not christian. Stop lying. I gave you facts about Hitler which you ignored, because that is all you do (ignore the fact and embrace lies).
wtf ?? well i think that to be a Christian is very easy u have no difficult u are the good one no need to fear anybody but to be a Satanist that is a problem everybody hates you cause u are evil but that is a rubbish it is just a lie that Catholics and other fu people have given on us Christianity is not a crime u can walk down the street with a cross and convince them to join and I cannot do that cause if I will do that I will have many problems so dont feel that u are discriminated-u arent
I'm not following how you are being persecuted here either. Just because me and a few others are pointing out that you have posted this freely on the internet for thousands, possibly millions to see. How are you being silenced?
So after christians enjoy centuries of oppressing other belief systems and employing policies in favor of their religion, they bitch that it all got taken away from them? Am I missing something here?
This is such a joke. Christians are just pissed that they have lost their "special priviledge" of forcing their christian prayers and bibles onto everyone else in the public realm. They are brought to be equal with everyone else. This is considered persecution to them, when in fact, they do the very thing to non-christians. 80% of America is Christian, along with Christians in every branch of our government. Stop bitching about something that isn't even happening.
No, they're pissed because their religion and beliefs are constantly silenced and attacked in the academic forum-- where all our nation's young are growing up.
They are not being silenced. When did any of us say Christians should not have the freedom to believe their religion? I would never deprive someone of believing what they want. But I have the same right to disagree and point out the flaws of such an ideology. Give me an example of "attack" against Christians in the academic forum.
From the moment students set foot in most university classrooms, especially in the social sciences- a combination of communism and atheism is taught by the professor- who conveniently leaves out competing points of view that are just as rational and backed by reknowned scholars. W
Firstly, education has nothing to do with faith in a god. It is intrinsically atheistic by nature. If a professor is pushing an atheist view, it is only because a student is trying to push their religion in class where it doesn't belong. And where is your evidence they are pushing communism in universities? There is nothing rational in christianity which you cannot find in other religions as well.
You're putting your foot in your mouth. education is "intrinsically atheistic by nature". Again, you're only proving the point of this video. Thanks for more evidence. As for the communism- do your research. Read professor biographys of all the major social sciences department- particularly sociology.
Of course, you give no evidence for your claim about communism being taught in colleges. When I said "intrinsically atheistic by nature", it means "god" has nothing to do with what is being taught - Math, Science, English (unless for something like religious texts), etc. Discussion of any religion belongs in a philosophy or religious class, not things which have nothing to do with it.
some profs may do this, but some profs do a lot of things and present a lot of views (too often biased toward whatever they want I feel). they're not out to "get" any one group, they just like to push their own ideas. if you don't like it, you can always switch classes!
And look how much beef he gets for it. Be realistic, when was the last time you heard of a buddhist, atheist, or agnostic accussed to no end of blurring the lines between their values and political values. And yet they do it all the time. There is a bias agaist theism, specifically Christianity, in this country that exists in every university and across the media.
Actually, Christianity is biased against because it is in your face everywhere you go. Now Christians are trying to invade one of the last non-christian forms, which is pornography. There is good reason to have a bias against a harmful and silly religion which harms more than it helps.
I never said a person who believes this nonsense shouldn't be allowed to believe it, but it is a bad idea which is why I'm against it. I see firsthand the damage caused by christian doctrine and faith. I tolerate christians as long as they don't annoy me with their religion. I don't try to annoy people with my atheism, and if I did, I would not expect them to put up with me for long.
The damage of christian doctrine and faith? You've got to be kidding me- almost every aid organization in the world has Christian roots. Sure, damage has been caused in the name of many religions *including* atheism- but hands down a lot of HELP to the world is done in Christian faith.
What "silent" issue? Christians have been very vocal with intolerance towards gays and atheists and non-christians and even other christians who disagree with them. We have them in our gov't trying to change the Constitution and their churches don't pay taxes. Oh, they have it SOOO bad.
do what? how many cable and satelite channels are devoted strictly to Christianity? How many channels show video of christian church services throughout the week? My local news paper has three reporter strictly for Christian viewpoints, and right next to that newspaper machine, there is another container for "free church guides" which list hundreds of local churches...
...Christian pastors sometimes get a direct line to the President of the U.S., and the president himself is forcing Christianity on everything he can regardless of the constitution. I see a church on almost every street corner where I live, and 25% of the billboards have specifically Christian messages on them, some of them insulting to non-christians.
...7 out of ten radio channels are specifically christian in my state, and they openly speak against science lessons and plurality without one government official shutting them down. The local politicians are constantly going to local churches to hear what the Christians want, which usually include removing rights and happiness from people who do not share their narrow views, such as atheists and homosexuals. Churches acroos America has received billions of tax payers dollars.
ever sense the conception of our country, and before, Christians have dominated the local and federal government. Congress is usually 93 to 95% Christian, and it seems that almost every single President, with a few exceptions, was also Christian.
Yeah, Christians must always tell people they are being persecuted even if they run the government, own 80% of the population, and persecute other non-christians by forcing their religion onto them with government help. Yup, those poor American Christians are being censored and persecuted!
But... you posted this video on the Internet, for free, and tens of thousands of Americans will see it in the next seven days. Nobody has stopped you. So, where is the censorship?
What a joke. nobody is stopping you from saying all the stupid silly ridiculous things you want to say. You should spend some time in North Korea so you can find out what REAL persecution is.

Yes, because your ignorant enough to wear a shirt that says "be intolerant" and stupid enough to feel persecuted in having to keep this to yourself publicly (every once in a while). Disassociate yourself with a christian martyr and learn some respect for other peoples beliefs.

Oh lol! The hypocarcy of christians asking for tolerance.
If christians had it their way they would persecute homosexuals, atheists, people of other faith in America.
And if the mormons had their way. Why, just about every non-white would be persecuted.
Christians are free to practice their religion in America in chruch and at home. They're just pissed off because things aren't going their way and now they want to play the victim.
This video is a load of horse crap.

Christians can only practice their faith in church and at home? Is that what you think? How "intolerant" of you.
My 4YO daughter had a gay preK teacher. That was fine & I thought she was a good teacher. My daugther loved her - until told she couldn't mention Jesus at school. My daughter was in tears. Jesus is her best friend. That's when we had a problem. I made sure the school understood about 1st amend rights. My daughter got an apology & all was well again.

America is the land of the free, so if the majority of America is of some Christian denomination, and you're dumb ass isn't being persecuted, but being allowed to speak about Christians so freely, then you're wrong. You should probably check out the nation of Islam, pretty soon you'll wish you lived amongst "us" Christians.

Yes it is well catholism is Christianity.
It is the first known established group of Christianity all other groups like protestant, ortodox etc... came later.
Right now Christians still have mentality that people of other believes deserve to go to hell just open your bible.
And Christians still are selfish, arrogant, ignorant, immoral people if you can find someone who does not fit in this criteria please tell me.

Dude I asked you simple question.
Can you find me one Christian that is not arrogant, selfish, ignorant, intolerant, moral.
You will not find anyone I can assure you because religion represents one of our selfish pursuits, it creates delusional sense of knowledge where god did it answer explains everything which is arrogant, it is immoral since it places character infront of teachings etc...
You do belong to cults ignoring the facts will not count as fact :D All religions are cults.

@PhreakStep Not true there are plenty of non arrogant, selfish, ignorant, intolerant, moral christians. There are probably just as many of them as there are non christian ones.

Not true because there is no Human in this world that isnt selfish, arrogant, immoral.
Because we all do what it is best for us.
A real non selfish person would not drink, eat, clothes etc...
If you do all those things you are selfish because you do so you can survive.
However religion represents a selfish pursuit of ours.
To be one with the universe.
Religion creates meaningless selfish pursuit of ours that isnt really in our nature.

@PhreakStep It's foolish to say there are none that aren't selfish, arrogant, or immoral. True the majority of the population but there are individuals who aren't so.
Are you saying drink regular drinks or alcohol? So it's selfish to have the basics of survival? That isn't selfish. I wouldn't say being one with the universe is necessarily selfish either. Foolish yes, selfish no.

@lychanking
There is none or can you give me an example of the person who isnt selfish you can help others and not receive physical reward however if that makes you feel good it is still selfish.
Our basic insticts of survival are selfish ones because they are what is BEST FOR YOU.
If you think that if you are the only one who is one with the universe that isnt selfish?

As a Christian, I teach my daughter that she is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. I teach her that she has a beautiful light inside of her and that she can be the salt and light of the world. I teach her that she is beautiful and so is everyone else. All are beautiful even the disfigured because God makes us all individuals.

ChristianVoice08 "You have NOT offered a refutation of theism. Therefore, my argument for it stands. Provide an argument for atheism."
that premise would be true had you actually offered an argument for it. since it is your position that violates the null hypothesis (that Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens aren't transcendent), it is you who should provide an argument for the non transcendence of Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens.

anyone with any sense knows the universe was created by a pantheon of transexistant beings known as Hyper Intelligent Super Aliens. i dont even have to refute your religion, since you have to provide a reason why your god must exist in order to cause existence. yours is a self contradictory paradox that can only be resolved by making your god transexistent; even though your holy book says god "exists" and thus cannot be transexistant; and is thus false.

"transexistential" means: beyond existence, and not limited by reality. because your god isn't transexistential, and is thus limited by his existence, he could not have created existence.

That just shows Christians don't really have faith in their god. Jesus never mentioned hospitals, medicine or going to the doctor to get better. He healed people directly and instantly without any help. So did the apostles in Acts. Jesus also said if people believe in him, they can lay their hands on the sick and they will recover. Hardly what Christians do today in those nations.
breligion 5 years ago
I don't think you're an ignorameous, but what you just wrote makes you sound like one. Christians base their belief on the bible. The Bible never said that they couldn't express their *love* through *helping people* with whatever means they can use. Jesus spoke in metaphors- he even admitted that himself. Next time you gripe about something, try to sound at least seminally educated.
sschwartz23 5 years ago
The bible also says to hate your family to be Jesus' disciple and those who don't believe are damned. You might as well be a nazi (which were a christian party) defending Hitler by saying only the GOOD Hitler did for Germany, and ignoring the bad stuff which far outweighed anything good Hitler did.

In addition, they embraced Heidegger-- another anti-Christian philosopher. Thats like saying Mao Tse Tsung headed an atheist party. Finally, Jesus spoke in metaphors!! He was simply making the point that committing to Christianity is something you have to do ONTOP of everything else in your life. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN.

Nowhere did Hitler deny Christian faith nor close christian churches. He was a christian til he died. He attempted to form a United Reich Church. He was helped into power by the Catholic party of Germany. He admired Martin Luther as a great hero. How was Hitler NOT a christian? If he was not a Christian, then Osama Bin Laden is not a muslim.

Hitler did say anti-christian as well as pro-christian stuff and he did kill christians who disagreed with him too. no one knows for sure if his quotes about how much he loved christianity were real, or designed to get the "support" of other certain other xians and the church (which he did get unfortuantely). either way, it sucks. dawkins explains it well in his book in the Hitler section

If Jesus was God and wanted people to believe in him without confusion, then to say such stupid things contradicts it. You have not given any facts, only your opinion. What won't christians like yourself LIE about?
breligion 5 years ago
I've given you 3 very solid facts so far:
1. Almost all hospitals/aid organizations have been or are Christian organizations.
2. The academic forum is intrinsically biased against Christianity- even in philosophy and religion classrooms.
3. The Nazi party glorified Nietschze- the most anti-Christian philosopher of modernity. This nulls your point about Hitler and the Nazis truly being Christian.
sschwartz23 5 years ago
You don't know what a "fact" is apparently. All you did was give me your opinion and no corroborative evidence. A fact requires evidence. And people of other religions also have hospitals and aid. You gave no evidence for your claim about academic forums. You gave no evidence for the nazi's glorifying Nietschze or how they were not christian. Stop lying. I gave you facts about Hitler which you ignored, because that is all you do (ignore the fact and embrace lies).

satanism isnt a problem - because it's a tool not a cause.
if speaking out in public as a satanist doesnt work for you, you dont have to do it.
ergo, it's easy to be a satanist in such times.
and evil?
if it's LeVay/atheist satanism we're talking about, then 'evil' is a bit strong.
sorry if i got the wrong end of the stick there anywhere, but what you wrote was hard for me to follow.

I'm not following how you are being persecuted here either. Just because me and a few others are pointing out that you have posted this freely on the internet for thousands, possibly millions to see. How are you being silenced?

So after christians enjoy centuries of oppressing other belief systems and employing policies in favor of their religion, they bitch that it all got taken away from them? Am I missing something here?
Enseni 5 years ago
This is such a joke. Christians are just pissed that they have lost their "special priviledge" of forcing their christian prayers and bibles onto everyone else in the public realm. They are brought to be equal with everyone else. This is considered persecution to them, when in fact, they do the very thing to non-christians. 80% of America is Christian, along with Christians in every branch of our government. Stop bitching about something that isn't even happening.

No, they're pissed because their religion and beliefs are constantly silenced and attacked in the academic forum-- where all our nation's young are growing up.
sschwartz23 5 years ago
They are not being silenced. When did any of us say Christians should not have the freedom to believe their religion? I would never deprive someone of believing what they want. But I have the same right to disagree and point out the flaws of such an ideology. Give me an example of "attack" against Christians in the academic forum.

From the moment students set foot in most university classrooms, especially in the social sciences- a combination of communism and atheism is taught by the professor- who conveniently leaves out competing points of view that are just as rational and backed by reknowned scholars. W
sschwartz23 5 years ago
Firstly, education has nothing to do with faith in a god. It is intrinsically atheistic by nature. If a professor is pushing an atheist view, it is only because a student is trying to push their religion in class where it doesn't belong. And where is your evidence they are pushing communism in universities? There is nothing rational in christianity which you cannot find in other religions as well.
breligion 5 years ago
You're putting your foot in your mouth. education is "intrinsically atheistic by nature". Again, you're only proving the point of this video. Thanks for more evidence. As for the communism- do your research. Read professor biographys of all the major social sciences department- particularly sociology.
sschwartz23 5 years ago
Of course, you give no evidence for your claim about communism being taught in colleges. When I said "intrinsically atheistic by nature", it means "god" has nothing to do with what is being taught - Math, Science, English (unless for something like religious texts), etc. Discussion of any religion belongs in a philosophy or religious class, not things which have nothing to do with it.
breligion 5 years ago
some profs may do this, but some profs do a lot of things and present a lot of views (too often biased toward whatever they want I feel). they're not out to "get" any one group, they just like to push their own ideas. if you don't like it, you can always switch classes!

Who is the mysterious "they" who is oppressing you? Even your President is openly Christian.

And look how much beef he gets for it. Be realistic, when was the last time you heard of a buddhist, atheist, or agnostic accussed to no end of blurring the lines between their values and political values. And yet they do it all the time. There is a bias agaist theism, specifically Christianity, in this country that exists in every university and across the media.
sschwartz23 5 years ago
Actually, Christianity is biased against because it is in your face everywhere you go. Now Christians are trying to invade one of the last non-christian forms, which is pornography. There is good reason to have a bias against a harmful and silly religion which harms more than it helps.
breligion 5 years ago
Harmful and silly religion? Wow- you're only proving the message of the video right. Congratulations.
sschwartz23 5 years ago
I never said a person who believes this nonsense shouldn't be allowed to believe it, but it is a bad idea which is why I'm against it. I see firsthand the damage caused by christian doctrine and faith. I tolerate christians as long as they don't annoy me with their religion. I don't try to annoy people with my atheism, and if I did, I would not expect them to put up with me for long.
breligion 5 years ago
The damage of christian doctrine and faith? You've got to be kidding me- almost every aid organization in the world has Christian roots. Sure, damage has been caused in the name of many religions *including* atheism- but hands down a lot of HELP to the world is done in Christian faith.

What "silent" issue? Christians have been very vocal with intolerance towards gays and atheists and non-christians and even other christians who disagree with them. We have them in our gov't trying to change the Constitution and their churches don't pay taxes. Oh, they have it SOOO bad.

Phenominal. The Best Video I have seen here so far. Artistic, True and Riviting. Islam, Atheist, has a voice. Christians should also.
AWSOME!

do what? how many cable and satelite channels are devoted strictly to Christianity? How many channels show video of christian church services throughout the week? My local news paper has three reporter strictly for Christian viewpoints, and right next to that newspaper machine, there is another container for "free church guides" which list hundreds of local churches...

...Christian pastors sometimes get a direct line to the President of the U.S., and the president himself is forcing Christianity on everything he can regardless of the constitution. I see a church on almost every street corner where I live, and 25% of the billboards have specifically Christian messages on them, some of them insulting to non-christians.
reverendjeremiah 4 years ago
...7 out of ten radio channels are specifically christian in my state, and they openly speak against science lessons and plurality without one government official shutting them down. The local politicians are constantly going to local churches to hear what the Christians want, which usually include removing rights and happiness from people who do not share their narrow views, such as atheists and homosexuals. Churches acroos America has received billions of tax payers dollars.

ever sense the conception of our country, and before, Christians have dominated the local and federal government. Congress is usually 93 to 95% Christian, and it seems that almost every single President, with a few exceptions, was also Christian.

Yeah, Christians must always tell people they are being persecuted even if they run the government, own 80% of the population, and persecute other non-christians by forcing their religion onto them with government help. Yup, those poor American Christians are being censored and persecuted!

But... you posted this video on the Internet, for free, and tens of thousands of Americans will see it in the next seven days. Nobody has stopped you. So, where is the censorship?
