Wow a religious video that is calm, respectful, and to an extent reasonable. I didnt sense any hate and he took some responsibility in the admission of the unlikelihood of a god. Well done sir, and I mean that. I do not agree with or respect your religion, but your words and performance demand respect.

[CPLGDR]

As an atheist, I feel sorry for you. You present an argument in a very respectful, well-founded way, and your video gets bombed.

I disagree with what you said, but I like your video. I'm sorry that some reactionary idiots were so rude.

To paraphrase Dawkins

"Why was the moron bible written in 17th century english when it should have been 19th century it really does have charlatan written all over it."

Also why do you guys believe in bullet proof under pants whats that all about?

The reason I disliked this video is because the youtuber didn't really address the serious problems both an Atheist and a Christian can take up with Mormonism. This includes the Book of Abraham, Anachronisms in the Book of Mormon, and DNA of Native Americans. I recently uploaded a video that addresses them, take a look:

I'm an Atheist, I can't give you a thumbs down because your video was well presented, you don't cut Dawkins off but allowed him to finished his sentence. You show your face on camera, you talk in a respectful manner and you allow comments.

I am not convinced by the video that there is any kind of god, but none the less...good video.

peace

@veronicats100 Science doesn't describe a faith or morality. It doesn't have answers as to what made science or how it even started in the first place. Science doesn't have an answer to faith and why people have it. Science is always being proved wrong as well, not just religion.

[superdude4380]

@veronicats100 actually, science is quite incapable of determining morality, which passes onto philosophy, a secular domain that is often incorporated into religion, or studied separately.

[veronicats100]

Why has he gotten more dislikes? First, His basic premise is all wrong. Second he is a Mormon which means he CANNOT be a smart, reasonable thinking person. He says science does not have all the answers. The fact of the matter is that science does have all of the answers, maybe not know but eventually it will. As time passes all premises of religion are taken down by science, never the other way around.
