Atheists aren't that bad. This is NOT an argument for atheism... It's a defense of atheists.
This video received the award for "Excellence in Humanist Communications" from the Harvard University Humanist Chaplaincy.
James Randi said this video was "very cool!"
Michael Shermer said it was "very impressive."
Penn & Teller said, "If a god existed, this video would make him wish he were dead."
Dan Barker (author of "Losing Faith in Faith") said it was "very creative and powerful" and that it "makes a GREAT point!"
Greg Epstein (the Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University) said "it's a wonderful video!"
Stephen Ulh (author of "Imagine No Superstition") said that this video was "just wonderful for the cause of atheism."
David Mills (author of "Atheist Universe") said "I am absolutely addicted to watching this fabulous video, which has almost instantly become a legend in the freethought community. Zak has created the most intellectually and emotionally powerful multimedia presentation I've ever seen endorsing the atheist position. This is a proud moment for all rational-minded people. Atheist books can have wide-reaching influence, but I strongly suspect that Zak's video will influence a much larger audience than any atheist book ever published. The first few times I watched this video, I literally had tears in my eyes by the end. The artistic talent and technical skills required to write and produce this video -- as well as its core message -- have made Zachary Kroger my newest freethought hero. I'm not surprised at the HUGE reaction Zak's video has generated."
This video (among others) was also mentioned in the November 4th New York Times article "God and Man on YouTube."
Nobelief.com said this was "the best video of 2006."
NOTE- It has been brought to my attention that Mark Twain, and Susan B. Anthony are not atheists. I looked into it, and my original sources were wrong. Sorry.
Lastly, I am pleased to see how much debate this video has sparked, and I encourage everyone that wants to, to join in. HOWEVER, spamming will not be tolerated. Nor will racist, sexist, or other mean comments. Such behavior is not conducive to good conversations, and users who do not act accordingly will be blocked. If you want to insult people, go somewhere else.

who was mark twain if not an atheist? Twain wrote, for example, "Faith is believing what you know ain't so", and "If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be a Christian"
this video is going up the list of most discussed i think its better then the top video... hopefully people notice what bull they believe in and how it influences everybody. Stereotypes are never cool especially if they just wrong.
"I stated that science can not "prove" the non-existence of anything"
Nor does it even try. Why would it? There's no way to do so. Since there is ZERO evidence FOR the existence of a deity, that stands as sufficient in and of itself as a lack of need to investigate further. Why look for something that there is no science to infer its existence. Contrast that with CERN. The scientist there are looking for particles that have basis for existence. They are not seeking god.
I didn't mean that you, in general, cannot prove the existence of a god - just that, at this point in time, there is no evidence to support such an assertion. You can't prove something with no evidence and, right now, there is no evidence to support such a motion.
Youve misunderstood. I didnt remark that you said science has proven that there is no god. I stated that science can not "prove" the non-existence of anything. In baby-step # 2, you stated that You cannot prove the existence of a god. You are insinuating that proving the existence of anything, including god, is en necessarium, for the actual existence of anything. Bizarre? Yes. Illogical? No. It violates no laws of logic. My statement is valid and scientifically sound.
