this video is right but he very poorly conveys the message. all he is saying is any idea that harbors the message to eradicate other ideas is bad. tolerating is only a viable solution when you have peaceful ideals. you cant shake someones hand when they are pointing a gun at you. but tolerance is a two way street. if they cant reasonably tolerate us then action must be taken.

Thank you! That was exactly what I was trying to convey. I'm just not very good at communicating it clearly.

I made you a cookie... but I eated it.

lol

wtf does this have to do with anything else in the video??

[grozde]

The main point is true, but the "communist" part was quite stupid and based on ignorance...

Your video is biased against religion, yet you forgot to include the over 100,000,000 people that were ordered to be put to death by atheists who came to power such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, etc., who were intolerant towards religion, and Christianity in particular and set out to eradicate it. Next time try to make a video that doesn't expose your intolerance.

it possible for CIVILATION TO EXIST in a free form,not dictated by leaders or the strongest.Human beings can not function without guidance of some kind to motivate us to be civil.Take a baby for instance, don't teach it anything and it will learn through taste touch sound ,hearing and seeing, Trial and error teaching but unfortunately will not live very long because with no guidance it will repeat history and die because previous generation did not tell him or her of the dangers of Gravity.

This video is 65 percent correct,however human beings are only motivated by some form of government.No matter where in the world a group of humans in a small family require an alpha male role model. laws are setup to enhance the groups well-being. However all humans fail one thing and that is we are inheirently bad, when we can get away with it.By having a perfect person or deity we do not have a leader who will fail us or be tempted to cause injustice, because they are not human.God makes ---

Some ideas are dangerous? No not really. I know I am fighting an uphill battle with this but I don't really care what someone believes. What counts is behavior and choices. I know that thoughts and beliefs play a role in this but the problem have with the thinking in this video has to do with enforcement. How do you stop people from thinking or believing things you think are harmful without becoming a harmful person yourself? This is a real dilemma for all of us.

@girzwald3 not quite as atheism is a lack of a belief not a belief itself. They sought to eliminate all people who had differing opions of them (exactly the oppisite of the beliefs of western humanists.) religion was just another one of those things they had a opinion on and they killed nayone who disagreed same with economics they oppressed capitlaism just as eagerly.

@cleanhomer

lets see. so, communism sought to eliminate all religion and God, yet they weren't atheist driven.

Riiiiiiiiight.

Only on youtube

So, in your tolerance video, you conclude that religion fosters intolerance, and can be even dangerous.

So, what's your solution? Banish religious practices & thoughts? Are we to have a new thought police in the world? Are you SURE it's religion that's the problem, and not HATE driving these evil acts in the name of religion? I sure hope you don't think atheists & secularists can't hateful or violent!

There's nothing in atheism that says you can't hate! All atheism is is disbelief in God.
