I know it's old by now, but it's the first time I've seen the video. This is a very good and informative video. It gave me some concrete and easily understandable ways to link Religion and other instances of "genocidal stupidity". It's nice to have the links and commonalities laid out like this. I think a lot of people understand roughly how, say, Catholicism and Stalin's version of Communism are related, but it's hard to really express it in a precise manner like you just did. Good work!

awesome video

@Ray Squirrel, Adonai means Lord whereas Jehovah is the english form of the word YHWH - since they don't use vowels it would be impossible to pronounce without putting some in the word hence Yahweh or Jehovah.
Really enjoyed the video - very concise analysis.

Good video.
Except (and this may be irrelevant), Jehovah is a mispronunciation of the Hebrew word Adonai.

Great video.

"all those genocides you describe were made for defined political purpose."
Exactly, religion got in the way of indoctrination where the government is god.

Very well presented comparisons.

This is seriously the best video ever. I wish i could rate higher than 5 stars.

An absolutely brilliant video.
Still, at the very least, you seem a smart guy,and thats a compliment coming from me, I'm hoping we can make an agreement on what we agree on, and agree to disagree on what we don't. And bear in mind what I said about common ground. Only when we fight on the same idealogical battlefield, as equal opponents of the same type, can we truly see the better.

The key point is that dogma is the problem. Insisting without evidence that X or Y is true. Very few atheists hold to their atheism in this way, they merely expect evidence for all claims. Be they for God, the FSM or leprechauns. In short, atheism is a religion, like bald is a hair colour:-)
Catholics, communists or the worshipers of Emperor Hirohito, all equally subscribe to an irrational belief system. Some of them are atheists, some christians and others buddhists.

The religious don't have a monopoly on delusion, and this is exactly what illustrates that ALL religions are nonsense, none of them deliver and none of them CAN deliver. There is one system of thought that DOES deliver though, and this is a dogma I subscribe to. Question everything, be relentlessly skeptical, never take "because" as an answer:-) This mode of thinking will neutralise the catholics, the communists and the rabid capitalists alike:-)
