Why Bother?

I have been asked on numerous occasions, why I bother arguing about religion, when I believe it doesn't matter anyway.
Of course, this argument is based on a completely fallacious assumption, but I thought I'd take the time to address it properly.

I apologize for the complete disconnect between the audio and the visuals in this video, but.... Well, the text in the video explains why ;o)

Al you do is talk, talk, talk...stop talking, just shut up.

[CapnOrdinary]

All you do is whine, whine, whine...

If you don't like it, you can just (revelation, tadaa) NOT WATCH!

I bother because theists have a stranglehold on our culture and politics, and this restricts freedom.

Then I ask you to say what your point is - when asked the first time you referred to your first comment, in which you acted like a complete cultural relativist. In later comments, you began to make a sharper and sharper sistinction between atheism and theism. When pointed to those conflicting ideas, you responded like you do now: "You're not getting my point."

Now you're playing the ad hominem, a weak attempt, which is more an attempt at self-reassurance then it is an actual argument.

May the great green Arkleseizure smile on you brother.

[CapnOrdinary]

True. However, from my perspective (which of course is the one most readily available to me) your original comment was dead wrong. And quite impolite about it as well.

And how did it take you 4 months to reply, btw?

[TurboLoveTrain]

Not really an assumption. Assumed certainty is a human condition.

CapnOrdinary', just disregard that last comment I made. XD ..I listened to the whole thing and I thought all that you spoke was pretty good. sorry.

[smashsamus]

Sooo...CapnOrdinary' do you ever plan to respond to 'criskity', right below? or are you going to just, conventiently for the sake of your petty argument, going to ignore him?? ...

[nitroyoda]

I would've watched this entire video without any audio just for the hopping and dancing dinosaur creatures.
