ha,, thats fucking hilarious,,the best line is 'if christians were to go round chopping peoples heads off who dont belive...oo wait thats the muslim reilgon.'
Ha,fucking bible bashing nutters.
This guy is so insecure in his video that he disables ratings and comments. He knows it can't stand up to the even the most superficial criticism. The funniest part is that Crackerboy thinks that posting it was worthwhile in any way.

No it is more like he does not want his posts to turn into a hate fest which distracts people from the point of the video. Once again mindless attacks instead of solid rebuttals.

Yes his bigoted blanket stereotype about "Muslims" has nothing to do with hate. I couldn't stomach more than a minute of that mindless babble.

You can moderate comments without turning them completely off. Typically though it is the xians spouting hateful messages and votebot attacks on atheist videos.

BTW, why would I need to make any kind of rebuttal against such a gross misrepresentation? The whole video was one big straw man and attack against scientists that accept evolution and atheists, two separate groups that this douchebag conflates into one.

...errr....hmmm...there were two zen practitioners, one was master the other one his student for over 30 years...the student was on his death bed dying of old age when his master came to comfort him...the student said..." I have entered this world alone and with nothin, and thats the way I want to leave it...," the master replied...very well, however, only when you realize thats there is no coming or going from this world, you will be enlightened...."...the point is...there is no major changes in your life when you fall asleep and wake up? right? to be born and to die is just as natural...everyone does it countless times....

Well lets take this into perspective. We do not see any Christians on TV beheading innocent Journalists. It is funny how you all completely ignored the point he was making. The point was that even with the Muslims doing these thing currently in these times the atheists still attack Christians and almost completely ignore all the other religions.

Actually the problem is that just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't occur. When a xian posts their unsupportable beliefs, the counter-arguments (you call attacks) are against xianity. When it is a muslim, it is against islam. There have been threads right here on RIU that have asserted the "scientific truths" found in the Qu'ran. I, along with others, have been involved in those threads as well. When muslims post youtube videos denying science and evolution or making claims about the veracity of their god, there has been no shortage of atheists posting video responses to their bullshit.

Dawkins and Hitchens have been quite outspoken against islam, even going so far as to praise xians for not being so insanely radical as the muslims. If you are xian, you will get responses to your posts about xianity. Why would someone respond to you or the video guy and use examples of fallacious reasoning by muslims or hindi? You see more xian responses because you are xian and the majority of threads are by xians.

It's basically selection bias.

Amongst all the threads about religion it is Christianity and the Bible that gets attacked the most. Even when the discussion has nothing to do with Christianity just religion as a whole, it is Christianity that always and I mean always gets singled out.

while some parts of the western world are holding tenaciously onto their religious dogma other parts are barely looking back as they distance themselves from the contagious childhood disease that causes its victims to lose rationality and reason

for certain one day we will have eradicated this primitive plague just imagine an entire planet "Enlightened" by empirical evidence a place where people make moral judgments true to their own hearts rather than doing what they think their book tells them to do

its not going to happen quickly but could you see a world in say 200 years that has finally taken control of itself?

how would the remaining theistic countries react to an ever increasing atheist world?

are we soon to see true religious vs atheist wars as part of that change?
There are too many mindless sheep in need of that crutch. I would love to see world without religion.
I am a proud atheist. I don't need a 2000 year old desert god to tell me how to live.

Wait, I think I see jebus in my Ramen noodles. I'm born again! Woo Hoo!

No I didn't. The point is that posters in threads even about religion in general are predominately xians and most atheists are ex-xians. Most people know more about the xian religion than all others. This is not biased, it is representative of reality. I have seen posts by padawan, Heisenberg and other atheists that are non-denominational religion haters. Xianity usually gets brought into the topic by posters that mention something about xian theology. Most silly, fallacious arguments come from xians. They invented apologetics. Are you surprised that most counter-arguments are responses to xian apologetics and young-earth creationists [which are primarily xian in the US though in Europe it is mostly muslim]? When other theologies make unsupported claims they are attacked just as vigorously as the xians. Don't feel so special. It's also not what the video maker claims either. I wouldn't think that even you would use such bad logic, but I guess I'm wrong.


Happy holiday to you!

Well if you think that Padawan isn't biased towards Christians than you just kinda discredited yourself already.

Oh really? Is that your professional opinion.

You should have really payed attention to the video. Go back and watch it again. Hell just watch the first min. His very first point of the video was exactly what I said. Hell at this rate I'm not sure you watched the video at all. It almost seems as if you are just playing off of other peoples post. Either that or your just that unobservant.

Bro, just like MP said, bullshit is bullshit, it doesn't matter what color it comes in, none of it gets a free pass.

Crackerboy apparently has trouble with parsing sentences in English. Mentioning that you hate religion then his response made it sound like I said that you didn't hate xianity.:confused:

He then selectively picked phrases from my post to respond to while completely ignoring the main point of my argument.
Of course by now I don't expect much else from him anymore... dodge, deflect then insult, never putting together a logically consistent rebuttal.

yes true and that was from people taking it to literally or feeling threaten from others belief like atheist some feel threaten by religion cause they say religion kills and what not but it also saves ive know people who were real hell raisers change their whole life round when the found religion.......... damn it i said was going to stop
EXACTLY!!!! I know one person in particular that wasnt doin shit with their life and since a religion was introduced from random people, he totally just flipped his world for the better.BUT the problem is the people who express their religions are crossing paths, thus starting arguements and random childish NATURAL drama.for example Religions are like products and the people expressing themselves out are the owners... when two DIFFERENt product owners come together, they are basically arguing which product is better.. except one goes DUMMY IN THE CLUB and starts resorting to violence (cuz the owner knows their religion sucks ball sack.)
