@xxMustardTigerxx Brother, that's man-made religion. Read about Jesus' teachings, it was loving all. Those who agree, those who disagree, those who love you, those who persecute you.

Why can't everybody just live there Lives and just drop everything. why should you care what other people believe in, why can't Christians and atheist live in peace, why do they have to constantly debate about things. Just "Let it be", seriously.

People are mad at the myth that has been used as justification over millenia to commit unspeakable acts of violence and the suppression of human advancement.

@RegularSmith all bias and intolerant...way too much pbs, not enough real life. Too much hate, not enough truth. Weird to think how every sentence you wrote is from some intolerant punk rock song. The world view of Jesus is what allows you to have all those backwards beliefs...the world view of Jesus is what provides the protections for you to hate. The constitutuion, and amendments were based of the bible you hate. If you take out all christian values you would have a whole different world...

the guy doing the introduction needs to back off the stage a bit. He steps on the performers spotlight a bit...kinda like how soundmen like to be more important than the bands.But wow...that rap was great and heavy. Thanks for posting. Weird how true it is that people hate Jesus. What they don't realize is the message of Jesus is not the same as the politicized Christianity. They don’t realize that all truth is exclusive. Some think they mutated from a fish...but i'll take history and Jesus.

Atheists are not mad at the tooth fairy or Jesus. We are mad that most people who follow Jesus are holding back potentially life saving stem cell research. Mad that they want to tell gays how to live their only life here on Earth. Mad that contraception is somehow still more evil than getting STD's. Mad that children born into this world may never get to fully appreciate nor understand the physical world around them because of the false Science contained in these ancient texts.

Great! Many very true points in this video. We all need Jesus, it's hell without him.

@BrandenTolle1 And you most certainly are correct about the artistry/truth aspect. Wonderful idea here. Very much enjoyed it.

@BrandenTolle1 1 Peter 3:15. We're called to defend. A response to the historically inaccurate claim that Jesus was inciting a rebellion because of taxes to further Judaism (!?!?) is not only in line with this principle, I'd go as far as to say it parallels the heart of this video which, essentially, is vying for the truth of Christianity in the public circle. You may be content to set by, and God bless you, but I'm here to offer a reason for the hope that lies within. God bless

@BrandenTolle1 I don't think that grationator and I were becoming jerks. I really wanted to know what they were mad at specifically and why.Any further discussing would of went to inbox. I never wanted to take away from the poem, it's great.
