Its a magic trick , pretty complicated yes . The power of redirection or distraction.

[pixelatedxdeath]

@TheIAMINU huh?

[Suspended7DusK]

Great video, and great response to the ignorant fool who is speaking in that "Atheism is a plague" video!

[pixelatedxdeath]

@Suspended7DusK thanks.

[phelly2]

You convey a strong message.

But you should have run your text through a spell checker. I laughed.

[pixelatedxdeath]

eh mistakes happen, when you type out lines and lines for a video like that it's bound to happen.

i really don't believe in god. not because i hate religion or hate the bible. it just seems false to me. personally,i would rather live my life my way with my own independence. discover what is right or wrong and follow it by my choice. i would rather live my life as best as i could. if god does come at the end of the world,then i will worship him.if he can't even forgive people at end times,then i'll happily burn in hell. a god who gives infinite punishment for finite sins is worthless.

[LysergIY]

@nilofc if you can't accept other people's way of life then keep it to yourself and yes i would happily burn in hell because if god did reveal himself at the end of times and he couldn't forgive people who were truly sorry for not believing that he was real then that god can stick a dildo up his ass for all i care. i will have nothing to do with a god who has a child like personality and has no capacity to understand why some people didn't believe that he was real during their life.

The trolls as usual come out of the wood work with their dogmatic one-sided arguments and the occasional death threats that give Christianity, Islam, and/or Judaism a bad name.

[SuperMrAtheist]

@glipzik Not all the founding fathers but most of them did. There are many quotes from them talking badly about christians. "I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies." -Benjamin Franklin "Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies." -Thomas Jefferson and this one is great. "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."-John Adams

[SuperMrAtheist]

@glipzik Wrong.lol Hitler was a christian. Stalin did not kill 70 million people. Jim Jones was the leader of a christian cult. In the past 2,000 years Christians have killed over 300,000,000 people that we know of. The The Crusades. The witch burnings, Just those two along. Has killed more people than cancer, starvation, car wrecks and heart attacks put together. I bet you went to a christian school. lol

If Atheism is a plague then may the infection spread and "contaminate" the entire population. This would be the first time when a "disease" had an enormously benificial affect on the population as a whole.

[glipzik]

To say that all the founding fathers spoke strongly against christianity is a blatant falsehood.

John Adams wrote, "The christian religion is above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, equity, & humanity.."

His sentiments were echoed by Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, & George Washington, who recommended it be taught to the indians. Christianity was approved of & recommended by every signer of the DOI.

[glipzik]

Atheists claim 2 b morally superior 2 Christians. Is this so? Studies have been done concerning moral values of atheists vs christian. The values studied were honesty, kindness, family life, being loved, friendship. courtesy, concern for others. forgiveness, politeness, friendliness, patience, generosity. Atheists score lower n every study.30% lower in forgiveness, patience & generosity.

How will atheists score in future generations should they no longer be influenced by christian morals?

[glipzik]

@Jhertzog83,

As usual u antichrists have 2 go back 2 medieval times. Why dont u come down 2 the nasty now now.? There have been more mass killings by atheists in the last 100 years than all of christian history.(2000 yrs) Stalin killed 70million, mao 100,million. Then there is Idi Amin, Pol Pot , not to mention Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin. Then there are your individuals like Dahmer. Matthew Murray, the Columbine killers, and countless others. Jim Jones, the atheist agent. You're living in denial.

[glipzik]

@Lyserly,

You are really funny If God comes at the end of the world you will believe in him. Well. duh.

[Jhertzog83]

@glipzik As opposed to the leaders of the Catholic church calling for the the wanton murder and pillaging during the Medieval Crusades? Methinks there can be many, many, MANY more deaths attributed to religious belief compared to an absence of it.
