What I like about your videos is you don't insult Christians like The Amazing Atheist (though I like his too) and some others. You seem calm and you understand their motivations.

[GrapplingIgnorance]

@imshanedulong There's a time and place to insult. Some Christians deserve to be insulted, but they don't deserve it just for being Christians. Most of the people in my circle of immediate family and friends are believers. It does no good to insult them. Their religion on the other hand, should be discussed, dissected, and dismantled point by point.

@bigjustin69er Search youtube for my user name and click the first video you see.

If christian singles ads keep showing up on atheist videos I will join and mess with the heads of every "good girl" I can find. Plus I look just like jesus so it should be pretty easy or at least fun to show up to a date wearing a robe and sandals draging a cross.

Skimming through the below comments, it is reasonable to say that it might even not be in many theists' nature to be reasonable (heh) about handling a discussion about religion, or lack thereof, because of the same level and brand of reasoning they use to believe in their respective deities. This may be broad. Of course, it's still possible to hold a respectful discussion about it if you find the right people to do so with.

@GrapplingIgnorance I agree. TAA's videos are more for entertaining atheists than for discussion purposes. Yours are calm and rational and gives us all valid talking points.

cont... also, sorry for any misspelling. English is not my native tongue. looking forward to your comments. good night.

[ivanlukacevic1987]

cont... Well, to tell you the truth i really just dont care. when everyone is capable of sitting down and talking about it without anyone being accused of anything, then i will care. until then, its all just coming up with theories or ideas, and using them to undermine the other side, to me. Science has its proofs, religious people say they dont need proof. its all noise, and most of it hate talk and thats against MY religion. :) so, there you go. sorry for the long monolog. cont...

[ivanlukacevic1987]

cont... They dont see that they are doing exactly what their faith tells them not to do. As long as they are blind to this fact, there will be no reasoning with them. Without reason, is there a point in trying to? Also, i know many people will wonder how can i say all this and still believe in god? Its easy. This is my belief. I believe in God. I live my life as best i know and can, trying to be a good human being. When i die, we will see if i did well. and what about all the theories? cont...

[ivanlukacevic1987]

continue... It is my right to believe, but a general, human wrong to enforce any belief on anyone. It really would be great if we could have civil discussions on this subject but extremist on both sides tend to stop that from fear or having themselves proved wrong. Until we all finally realize how to behave as civil, decent human beings, is there really any point in trying to say anything? dont be like christian fanatics. if for no other reason, then for the fact that it is degrading. cont....

[ivanlukacevic1987]

continue... Although they are meant to be "good", they end up twisted and almost pure evil. Yes, Roman Catholic church is. in that way, probably the worst. I do not approve of anyone claiming that it is beyond error or that it never faulted. It has. Badly. Still, like Ghandi, i admire the idea of Christianity while claiming that no Christian lives in full accordance to it. I have my stance on God and do not enforce it on anyone. continue....
