It's a crying shame that there are so many people out there that let their theism interfere with their ability to perceive the beauty of the natural world.

Reality is so much more amazing than any of the simplistic creation myths that have so obviously been concocted by more primitive minds.

If I chose to believe in a god, it would not be any of the petty conjurers being touted by the priests, preachers, rabbis or imams. Instead, it would be the one that created the indescribably vast and wondrous Universe that we can see, and measure, and explain a little more of each day, and that produced the dazzling myriad of life on Earth through the ingeniously simple yet elegant process that we call evolution.

I want to make it very clear that, while am an atheist, I am not an anti-theist. People are and should be entitled to believe anything they like as long as they allow others the freedom to do the same and represent their positions honestly. I am, however, an ardent anti-creationist. If my videos seem angry and aggressive it's because I've had it to the teeth with the dishonesty of people who are willing to tell any lie and distort any fact to further their worldview. I've long since lost the patience to indulge in calm and rational debate with these people because every time I've done so in the past I've been slapped back with their utter dishonesty. It is not possible to have an honest debate with the people I address in my videos, so I settle for calling them on their bull.

I frequently get comments that I'm wasting my time on this channel since the people I'm addressing will never change their stance because they are beyond reason. I'd like to make clear that I fully realize this and that the purpose of my videos is not to debate. Rather my intent is to not let them get away with their dishonesty and stupidity without at least facing some kind of humiliation for their trouble while providing the rest of us with a dollop of entertainment, a pinch of education, and at least a laugh or two at their expense.

"Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them - and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon - laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution - these can lift at a colossal humbug, - push it a little - crowd it a little - weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand." - Mark Twain.

"If a man, holding a belief which he was taught in childhood or persuaded of afterwards, keeps down and pushes away any doubts which arise about it in his mind, purposely avoids the reading of books and the company of men that call into question or discuss it, and regards as impious those questions which cannot easily be asked without disturbing it -- the life of that man is one long sin against mankind." -
William K. Clifford.

In HH 31, ian booby seems to think that humans should populate every inch of the planet while wildlife should just go away, where, he doesn't say. To his religious idiocy, humans are supposed to have dominion over all of the earth, but that idea was at a time when a major concern for humans was being eaten by lions and stuff. Today, humans have almost destroyed the planet with their greed and exploitation, never considering the animals who used to live where their neighborhood is now, and the former home of these animals now makes them nuisance animals when they try to come back to their homes. Booby is a boob. Good vid TLD.

Can someone explain to me why this notion is so difficult to grasp: From "Origin of Species," "How can it be doubted, from the struggle each individual has to obtain subsistence. that any minute variation in structure, habits or instincts, adapting that individual better to the new condition, would tell upon its vigor and health? In the struggle it would have a better chance of surviving; and those of its offspring which inherited the variation, be it ever so slight, would have a better chance."

TLD, I just noticed on HH 25, 26 you changed your intro to knocking down ID and creationist books on what lloks like a mantle, or a bench of some kind? No matter, I think it's so appropo the debunking the nutty creationists/ID nonsense symbolically by destroying the books on the subject. Also, the point about why these creationists use the word evolutionist as a type of smear, or slur to discredit evolution. It is ironic they would do that, since what they 'preach' is being a creationist, and if that is the case then instead of making a creationist to be as credible as an evolutionist, aren't they also smearing themselves?

It is really comical the anecdotal, yeah, I was once an atheist but jebus showed me the way to eternal life. It really amuses me, but chances are there are far more who were Xians and became atheists. I'm watching the video HH 24 response to Shockofgod video, it is good one TLD, actually they're all very good, the entire HH series.. Thanx TLD, you are providing a service to the public.

Damn you and your Holy hallucinations series... you've ruined my life. normally its a pleasure to sit back with a nice cup of nescaff and a hob nob and watch a video on YT.. to be entertained or informed or indeed to mock some of the plunkers that seem to pop up with larding regularity.

But.. no longer. Its simply far to dangerous to my rather glamorous monitor for me to have a cuppa or indeed a hob nob (or a nice slice of Battenburg) anywhere near my gob. When I view your videos.

greetings from nottingham.
