  • Christianity should be treated like a mental disorder.

    Anybody that has an invisible freind and is over the age of seven, is clearly AT LEAST a little crazy.

  • > But make no mistake: there's a great many of those 'people of faith' who would gladly burn us at the stake TODAY if they had the political power they once enjoyed.

    Agreed—and I've known several who are probably regretting they missed out on those good ole days!

  • Wow amazing!!! too bad we have to laboriously get down on their level instead of pointing out bs when we see it.

  • best Asian women **lushfmlk.info**

  • 2:50 - 3:10 - guilty

    I slam both the Christian and atheist proselytizers.

    6:40 - 6:55 is the reason why.

    it's the emotional logic of "its just so obvious" that is based on fear.

    I've tried pathology logic to con someone into thinking my way.

    the whole atheist vrs Christian B.S. isn't about truth - its about appearance.

    so i slam the idiots with facts not only to show off my intellect but to show that others can see them for what they are.

    a threat to intellect and understanding.

  • > However, it is just one of method from freeing minds.

    Agreed. When Dawkins was asked to comment on the less combative approach of Daniel Dennett, Dawkins replied something to the effect of "Well, that's his approach, not mine. It's sort of like 'good cop, bad cop'—and there's a time and place for both."

  • PS I apologize for the horrible grammar and typos. I'm mufti-tasking poorly today.

  • This is still by far my favorite video created by you. However, it is just one of method from freeing minds. As you said anger can motivate. I rode my anger and pain and it motivated me to learn and search for the answers instead of just accepting those of others. It's also one of many sources for creative release. The method in the book may make them feel betrayed by you or seek vengeance to those that never "loved" them. Additionally, those who respect strength above may think you're weak.

  • Does anyone know what score was in the background in the beginning? It sounds like it was from the video game Oblivion.

  • While that is a very nice position, do you have the ability to discern a lie from reality, fact from fiction? Is your knowledge that you base your judgments on, built up or simply taken from others? I find most people don't speak from an educated background on subjects of religion.

  • Todd is so under subscribed, He is really good, I recommend his videos!

  • thoughtful and well-presented.
