I'm glad to see you being so awesome about such a delicate topic. I usually hate these kinds of videos because people don't seem to get religion, but I really liked this one.  I don't think you were very offensive at all. DFTBA

Thank you for demonstrating how to be so diplomatic about religion Hank, something I'm not always very good at being myself. Being gay, I'm generally just angry at mainstream religions for their lack of understanding, and, in my eyes, downright hypocrisy. I think that because of this, I sometimes also scoff and attack (only verbally of course) religious people, feeling they are responsible for their religions ignorance.

I love you when you're serious.I started watching because you put a duck on your head and sang songs about anglerfish and ate peeps and blenderised happy meals. But recently I've gone from enjoying your videos and your cleverness to admiring you as like... a wise person. I'm aware that this video is old, but this is the first time I've seen it and I just wanted to tell you that I genuinely love you for thinking about this stuff properly and being willing to share it with us.

There are so many different viewpoints because noone has tried to learn (i.e. read the bible) about Christianity. That is why it is so crazy... But nonetheless everyone does have their own view from life and things, that's why we're all unique and awesome... and I have no idea where this comment is going so yea... hi

I have to agree with emmahasnerdytiemz. I loved how respectful and diplomatic you were in this video, and I especially loved what you said about not having deeply held beliefs because it was very much in line with my own view of things... but I kind of wish you wouldn't worry quite as much about offending us. I like it when you swear or when you share something as personal as religious beliefs. Those kind of things make it feel like a real conversation is happening, and not just a video.

A while ago my band wrote a song called "God was a Scientist" and we got banned and disqualified from the local battle of the bands because it offended one of the judges, does anyone think it's unfair? the lyrics weren't bashing god in anyway, and they weren't innapropriate.

[emmahasnerdytiemz]

I reeeeeeally think you need to worry less about offending your audience. Whilst all your points were elegantly made, I got the impressing that you were holding some (potentially interesting!) arguments back solely on that basis.

Your words of being enlightened, were quite enlightening.

i don't particularly like it when people try to convert other people to their religion. it's okay when you offer your opinion and try to share some insight, but their is a lin between that and shoving beliefs down someone's throat. i am really glad that people here have been really open minded. it gives me hope.

@msDFTBAnerdfighter I hate when people try to shove beliefs down other people's throats as well, but i would hate for you to think that all christians are like that, or that religion is about that. Chrisitians have no right to be prejudice anymore than anyone else does and being christian or any other certian religion doesn't give you that right. i'm really sorry that your friend is trying to convert you or something.
