My fucking country, the Philippines, got the extra credit!.... Im sorry to my countrymen for saying this but its true, my country is a fucking messy country.

It is a country full of deluded Flip-finos dumbed down by various Christian sects and Catholic-sympathetic media broadcasting nonsense shows.

Its just one of the reason why the Philippines never get off from poverty,.. During election, Flip-finos choose to vote their political leaders depending on the RECOMMENDATION of their church. WTF!!!

I'm proud to be part of the 0.2% of Pakistani citizens who are atheists :)

Without Atheism, science would not have evolved the way it has, neither would we be able to enjoy a plethora of unique ideas and literature.

If religion did not exist, then we would be deprived of great works of art, books, plus many ideas we have regarding laws and morality.

Even if we had one belief and the other didn't, our race would never have gotten as far as it has. Without either, we'd still be in a mire.

To the truly biased folk: please bear this in mind when defending your beliefs.

I don't want atheist all to leave. We need to learn to live together.

@Brownbuddy Yet another unsupported argument by a creationist. FAIL.

[Elricck]

@Ajjarat Atheism is knowing that we DONT know and that beats "nothing" by alot.

[AntiPinoyTV]

THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THE PHILIPPINES. LET THE WORLD KNOW HOW DELUDED THE FILIPINOS ARE.

[Ajjarat]

Since this is a war on beliefs, and a system of beliefs for Atheism is like defining "Nothing", then Religion has lost on the grounds of logic. You can put under fire that which does not exist, and that said, there's no rebuttal the atheists can make either. Where's the beef?

I know, Jesus would paint their brains all over the US. So go ahead, get up in arms, fight, kill, destroy all creation. God, or lack of, would want it that way...

[LOVEME32plz]

I am so happy that someone understands why. Being affected by racism has me locked up in my room, crying. Keep on making more videos.-Proud Athiest

@londontonton With that one example, is Crusade. They use religion as basis to attack others. Well, I'm not into that part of "religion", because I see no religion in that cause. All they do is no different than just doing bad things and thats all. I follow Christianity but I dont follow the man who said hes Christian and preaching in a church.

Thats it. Having religion doesn't mean they can"not" wrong and be please to do wrong things against that who doesn't "have" religion.
