About Me:
 
"It is not acceptable to have a religion where the alternative to faith is punishment — that's how you train dogs, not develop people."
- Deng Ming-Dao

UK artist and secular humanist interested in creativity, communication, critical thinking, science and the natural world.

YouTube turn ons: humour, new ideas, diversity, inclusiveness, well-thought out arguments, communication

YouTube turn offs: poor listening skills and all of its consequences

I have no belief in supernatural entities or abilities of any description, though some of the friends and family I love dearly, do. For me, differing beliefs only present a problem when those who hold them bully, suppress and persecute others, or attempt to promote the beliefs in education, law, government, employment or health.

••••••••••••••••

Private messages: Please bear in mind that due to the huge number of PMs I get, and the other demands on my time, I can no longer guarantee replies. (NB. attempts to 'challenge' my videos, personal views etc. via PMs are always ignored, so please consider that before wasting your own time.)

Comments sections: From time to time, I delete comments that are repetitive / off-topic, in order to make pages more reader-friendly and relevant to anyone viewing.

Blocked users: While dissenting opinion is fine, those who abuse the comments section, leave spam, insults etc. can expect to be deleted and blocked, as can those who persistently attempt to misstate scientific knowledge to further unscientific agendas. Those who post repetitive comments may be temporarily blocked as a form of 'time out'. Again, this is to reduce the tedium for others.

i wish your videos had portuguese subtitles for me to share with some non english speaking friends. im thinking about asking you if i could make some subtitles and perhaps sending to you so you can add on duplicate videos or something? of course, if you were to agree to the idea in the first place.

and again, great job with your videos.

Brother, you are a light in a dark place. Keep up the great work!

Your work is amazing. Your discussions are brilliantly worded and the simple artistic style that accompanies them is quite exceptional. A true breath of skeptical fresh air. Cheers!

Hey Doug, thank you! Do you know I hadn't even realised that I'd just touched 400 subs! My YouTubing has taken a back seat this summer, so I was surprised to keep getting two or three people a day subscribing, until I realised that Theramin had linked me on his channel! I'm very grateful to him, and think you two are amazing in your joint and singular ventures on YouTube. The diversity of talent is enviable, and I think both of you, even with your huge lists of subscribers, are still massively undersubscribed! Thanks again!
:-)

In the latest ProfMTH's video he said that you and TheraminTrees are brothers. Is that true?
If it is, that just freaking awesome! ^^

Very impressive channel. I've passed your stuff along to some theists I know and they've been confounded by most of your work. You keep things simple and effective. Great work, keep it up.

I can not decide which one of your qualities must be complemented more: your sound and clear conviction in fearless and unprejudiced reasoning; or your smooth and logically coherent presentation skill!

Thanks a lot for all these videos. Great going!

You have impeccable organizational skills in your presentation of ideas. I salute you.

You got a clear mind and do great videos.
I hope you accept my offer of friendship.
Best wishes from Germany!
Peace. (as Pat Condell always says)
