Um guys, I hate to cut in, but I'm being told by YouTube that somebody called AtheistAaron responded to a comment that I don't really remember making here for this video. Does anyone mind giving any info if they remember me saying something?

[TheKidFrom13thStreet]

The comment system is so fucked right now, I don't see anything by you or AtheistAaron.

[BuddyEatsGanymeade]

I would like to respond to this video via your Inbox would that be ok?

[TheKidFrom13thStreet]

Yeah that would be alright.

It's not just that it's too a broad characteristic, but atheism is defined by the lack of something, ergo atheism has no principles by which to establish an organization, and the only thing that members of said organization would have in common is what they don't have.

We are not wrong in organized atheism. Theists have a point of view and organize themselves to help keep it positive and promote there view's. Organized Atheism should do the same thing.

It seems like 1 atheist contradicting what a theist says can be ignored. People have a better chance of listening to a group of smart and organized Atheists because they can no longer say "its just 1 fool spouting nonsence" but maybe there is something I should take the time to listen too.

The only reason it would be wrong is because it scares fundies...

[ihaveopposablethumbs]

What's wrong with uniting in the name of a lack of belief in a god or gods?

Don't get all t00bie about it, just relax.

[omritoker]

Just wondering.

Atheist=Irreligious. True or false? =/

[macwild1234]

sorry, i just think atheism is too broad of a common trait among people to organize. there are atheists like you who are rational but there are also dumb fucking idiot atheists who just wanna have the tittle because it makes them look bad ass

Orchestrated atheism is not necessarily "organized".

[kberka]

Orchestrated atheism is not organized atheism!

Organized Atheism? not interested.good to make videos and raise questions and give information and make people think and question things so they can go and change things (or don't) but Organized atheism? for what? fancy club member cards? if you want to go to a speech from a brilliant thinker for example there are many organisations and other places you can go. Organized Atheism to me is like (sort of) organized religions, there's always someone who fucks everything up. greetings from an atheist

A lot of the time people believe blindly and then defend the fundamentalists who are doing real damage. These moderates defend religion because they use tolerance as a defense without understanding the bullshit that is religion. Therefore, we organize towards a common goal by confronting religion and exposing it as a fraud. Were not like religion because we discuss, debate and confront, not force, manipulate or indoctrinate.
