About Me:
1) Use the words "brainwashed, idiot, stupid, moron, deluded" to describe someone who simply doesn't share their opinion. (the word "brainwashed" in particular has all but lost its original meaning because of the continuous and incorrect usage of it)
2) Have a habit of saying "Do your research" or "crack open a dictionary" to other people when they are not willing to take their own advice.
3) Watch a video they end up disliking, then whine in the comments section about the second/minutes of their lives they lost watching it and then demanding to be reimbursed for that time (as if they would otherwise have done something of life-altering importance with it)
4) When disagreeing with me on a topic, run out of ammunition, then resort to making irrelevant attacks at me based on what they read on my profile page. (a rather cheap diversion)
5) Feel compelled to label every single video they see as "fake and gay" (as if that automatically makes them some kind of skeptic) or use the annoying oxymoron "Epic fail" - Really, what's so epic about failure?
6) Make videos claiming to have "PROOF" of something that is being debated over and therefore has NOT been proven (i.e. - "Proof that 9/11 was an inside job", "Proof that Jesus never existed", you get the idea) Whatever happened to simply saying "this is what I THINK"? At what point did your mere opinion become undisputed law?
7) Troll around looking for religious/political channels to harass and leaving hit-and-run remarks such as "Your beliefs are bullshit" or "Science will someday prevail." Creating this imaginary war between religion and science has become quite popular lately, but would be news to the scientists who are also religious.
8) Talk trash about the US in the comments section of a video that has nothing to do with America in the first place. For example, what does your dislike for the US have to do with famine in North Korea?
9) Make grossly inaccurate and insulting statements about "what the US is like" or make conjectures about "typical American mentality." Although this can often come from people who have never visited the US, the people who have taken a 10-day trip to a tourist trap really don't know a lot more. In short, don't try to convince me that you're an authority on American culture because you've been to Disneyland.
10) Deliberately seek videos about religious oppression (usually from the medieval era) so they can arrogantly spout the tired and over-used "that's why I'm an atheist" line, as if this impresses people (believe me - it doesn't). Religious beliefs should not be based on the wrongful actions of mankind, but that is exactly what this statement implies nonetheless.
As for my stance on religion, I am a Christian, but I don't harass others about their beliefs nor do I tolerate people who harass me about mine. If you don't believe in God, that's your business, just keep the rude comments about it off my channel. (they won't stay up there for long, anyway.)
I'm fine with civil discussions, even if the person I'm corresponding with doesn't share my opinion. This does not include people impressed with their own "intelligence" who use obnoxious, condescending, and irrelevant arguments in an attempt to be demeaning. (Example: "I just don't want you walking around delusional - it's not healthy.") Anyone who expects me to believe that line is in no position to be talking about someone else's "delusions." (And those who use the word "delusional" as if it were a synonym for religious faith is taking the true meaning of the word out of context.) Over the years I have developed an increasing impatience with atheists, but not because of any prejudice towards their beliefs. It has stemmed from years of witnessing their arrogance (claims of being more intellectual than Christians) and ridiculing of those who do not share their opinion while, ironically, displaying contempt for anyone who dares to criticize them. However, as I said, their beliefs are not a problem for me as long as this attitude does not manifest itself.
There is a common misconception that those who believe in God all came by this belief through blind faith, whereas non-believers, came by their conclusions as a result of science and logic. This is true in some cases, but far from all, although it's not hard to understand why non-believers enjoy saying it - it's human nature to embrace a claim that puts you in a superior category over others. But there are those who are atheists simply because their parents or someone they trusted was. And in contrast, there are those who believe in the existence of God with skepticism, reasoning, and listening to intelligent debate. One of my favorite quotes related to this topic is by Sir Francis Bacon: "A little science estranges a man from God. A lot of science brings him back."
Hometown:
Minneapolis
Country:
United States
Occupation:
Accounting
Interests:
classical piano, true crime stories, history (American wars and the Industrial Revolution are some of my favorite topics),PC adventure games (Vampyre Story is my favorite, hence the wallpaper on my channel); Also, I do like to make friends, but I'm not a "collect 'em all" kind of person. I have no interest in racking up 5,000 friends. If I get a friend request, I usually accept if there's something on their profile that I like. If we have nothing in common, we probably have nothing to talk about, right? And arguing is really not my thing because most people are incapable of doing so without getting insulting at some point.
Movies:
Mostly thrillers & horror: Hostel I & II, Kill Bill, Final Destination I & III, Strangeland, Cannibal Holocaust, Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original from 1974), Saw I - VI, to name a few; I hate romantic comedy because they mostly follow a similar formula - i.e., guy/girl who disliked each other at the beginning are forced to pair up by some chain of events; by the time you've reached the end, they're in love. (If you've seen one, you could pretty much say you've seen all of them.)
Music:
Industrial - Deathstars, KMFDM, E Nomine, 69 Eyes/ Also like other genres of rock/ I HATE hip hop, rap, and country; I love loud music , but my one requirement is that the frontman actually SINGS, which rules out screaming, screeching, grinding, growling, etc (or anything else that lead "singers" of thrash & death metal bands are prone to.) My preferece for actual singing is the primary reason for my dislike of rap and most death metal.
Books:
Almost anything by Stephen King, except for The Stand, which I found too repetitive/so far I've read The Shining, Carrie, Misery, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Hearts in Atlantis, Cujo, It, Dolores Claiborne, Christine, Pet Sematary - intentionally misspelled by the author, Different Seasons, Gerald's Game - but I don't care for his movies because most film directors butcher his stories; Also have an interest in Holocaust books - Auschwitz, Eyewitness Auschwitz, Night, The Hiding Place, Children of the Flames, Doctors From Hell, Angels In the Camp, Schindler's List, (there's probably a few more, but those are the ones I remember);Have a distant relative in the German airforce during WWII who wrote a book, I Flew For the Fuhrer, which I read out of curiosity, however the book was really dull and boring.

I think people like us just have to try to be better than those swaths of dissenters we are bound to come across. I know it's difficult to act with humility around them... I absolutely do. I don't think I've responded to anyone who's denigrated me or others in a particularly amiable way. But, sticks and stones I suppose. Or an intelligent response to their objections will do!
I get you... y'know? Everything in your "about me" section is one hundred percent understandable and agreeable! Repeating what another commentor posted: IT'S RIGHTEOUS!
Thanks again.
