It worries me that when something odd happens and we cannot explain it, the first thing we think of is something supernatural. I just watched some Monster Quest episodes,(which are entertaining but usually find nothing) and people everywhere AUTOMATICALLY associate something strange with the supernatural. This implies that we have something built into the brain which makes us believe in the more miraculous answer rather than a scientific one. This must be countered with education and curiosity.

Oh my goodness. His analysis of the Middle East and Anglican practises in England from 2:10 to 3:28 is so hilariously accurate! lol

It's true that in America one can still feel comfortable being an Atheist, however I feel if believers are left to be the only public figures, political or not, it will soon be as he described first about being an atheist in England. Maybe it's because I'm from a small town, I'm young, and have much to experience. It's not as if I'm not comfortable sharing my non-belief, it just seems pointless it the face of such blatant craziness sometimes.

@muzapstar So you find it tolerable for them to burn for eternity because they do not believe, no matter how good their lives are or what good deeds they have done? However, if say, Charles Manson were to repent, you would feel he deserves to go to heaven? I am happy not to believe in an ideology so irrational and closed-minded. Have fun sitting next to Adolf Hitler or John Wayne Gacy at the dinner table in heaven, as long as they repented!!

My disbelief is wholly anti-christian, Islam, Judaism and every other violent ant-humanist cult out there...

[muzapstar]

to me, you were sitting with demonically influenced at that bar, especially the guy in the black suit and the woman who referenced the "God" song. How fitting they were at a bar named after a demon. There are no coincidences to me. God bless you though. I hope you don't let your disbelief become antichristian. You are right however, about the church being used by non believers for oppression reasons.

@Voodoofreak35 That is one of the best things I have ever read. I love it and think I might just borrow it. :)
