[Growndweller]

I am a believer in God & my best friend is an atheist. We love each other deeply, we never judge each other & we have everything else in common except for our religious convictions. I am so proud & happy that I can be in this wonderful relationship that has held me up when things get tough & that we have been able to have mutual respect & affection through our differences. I am also proud to live in a highly tolerant culture where difference is not a threat but a cause for celebration.

[theposhenglishguy]

ur using circular reasoning by quoting the bible. most atheists have never done abominable works and have done good in their lifes not because of fear, but for the sake that something is good. was it an abomination for Tesla to discover and utilize electricity, alan turing to invent the computer or mark zuckerberg to create facebook??? i can presume u rely on most of these things.

[POPACHELLI]

I believe that everything is God, Buddhism is a great philosophy to make one self evolve and I believe that religion is necessary for some people.

[Atticus Finch]

Really interesting snippets. Are any of the authors in this video believers?

[MsKanagaratnam]

“you are an ugly c*** judging by your picture”

Your need to resort to personal insults is quite telling, to say the least.

[MsKanagaratnam]

“be careful people not to fill your heads full of the shit that these authors are peddling. this will do you no good, and greater the condemnation be on the people that lead the masses astray”

Your (Christian-motivated) profanity on this page should be sufficient to “lead the masses astray”, before anyone even has a chance to watch the video.

[theposhenglishguy]

the kjb also mentions unicorns and slavery.

[J Pararajasingham]

If having a "relationship with my maker" turns me into a profane, angry, bitter, juvenile, insulting person like you, I'd rather go without. Thanks all the same.

[J Pararajasingham]

Nice stereotyping, fits with your overall character. But no, I was raised Christian.

[oliveguss]

i think you have been burned by mohammedism which is totally man made and false. i suggest you get yourself a copy of the king james bible and start a relationship with your maker. thanks.

[oliveguss]

you are all cunts. i should not cave come here. thanks.
