I think it's funny that most of the troll comments on you video say that "Your video wasted their time", or "Watching this is a waste of time", but it's really they're choice in weather or not they watch it. They wasted they're own time.

@ViolentJay100 They sure did. Though in all honestly this isn't the best video I've made in terms of revenant religious issues.

Yo do you have heating in your house? Even space heaters? Gotta be pretty cold to have to wear a sweater, gloves and a hat inside. You look cuule.

[5thWatcher]

@easytoremember246 Actually, I believe this video was recorded during that time between when it gets cold outside and before the heat kicks in.

Correlation doesn't equal causation, but it is statistically significant (that's how Social Statistics works, tough cookies) and there's an obvious direct relationship that is chartable. Many of the studies controlled for class, education, region, gender, and age. I really hope you're joking, but in that case you're sort of wasting everyone's time, don't you think?

[5thWatcher]

@KatraKara There's a relationship, sure, but it's not the cause. That's what I am refuting, that it is not the cause. Maybe I could have been more clear on that?

I like your beard. You should make it longer that way you'll look like a lion. Then nobody would be an atheist. No one goes against a lion.

The initial premise of his argument made me laugh. 'Disprove atheism entirely'? The only requirement someone needs to be classed as an atheist is to have no faith that any God exists, anything else is dependant on the individual. If you were to disprove atheism you would have to prove that God exists.

You didn't.

Leviticus 25:44-46 establishes slavery as part of God's plan for humanity. This was used throughout the colonial era in the Americas to justify it. Also there are numerous genocidal and xenophobic passages in the Bible, such as 1 Samuel 15:3 where the genocide of the Amalekites is ordered and specifically asks for no mercy against children, elderly, pregnant women, even their animals. Hatred of foreigners went completely out of control in the Old Testament.

“...for this people shall be scattered, and shall become a DARK, a filthy, and a loathsome people, beyond the description of that which ever hath been amongst us...” - Mormon 5:15

“...and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a WHITE AND DELIGHTSOME PEOPLE.” - 2 Nephi 30:6

[BoricuaChiTown]

from the BOOK OF MORMON “...wherefore, as they were white, and exceeding fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a SKIN OF BLACKNESS to come upon them.” - 2 Nephi 5:21

“And the skins of the Lamanites were DARK, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, which WAS A CURSE upon them because of their transgression...” - Alma 3:6

@ViolentJay100 too bad theres no difference from religion and Hogwartz

[ViolentJay100]

@EnvyNumber3 Right...you go do that then. Sounds a little retarded though.

[EnvyNumber3]

@ViolentJay100 enjoy wasting your whole life with tht science fiction book tht retards call the bible. Id rather believe Hogwartz exists and base my morals off of the teachings of Harry Potter.
