Nov 26, 2009 - CosmicMutty: Cosmicsewer: You're talking out of your hat again! God exists and you know it but because of inbred wickedness you fail to relent. However, whether you choose to believe it or not the FACT still remains that God is real and He is LOVE.qed

Nov 26, 2009 - cosmicmutty certainly sounds inbred..... :) could explain why he resorts to so much foul language.....

Nov 26, 2009 - Great video, keep fighting friend! I am a proud Atheist!

grannyvonng Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - cwsaja: The animals probably have no more hope for eternity than YOU do. I have a sure hope and that hope is Jesus. You should have gone to Sunday school as a kid. When you have something of substance to tell me, who knows maybe I might just begin to adapt.

Nov 26, 2009 - There is no way i could have worded that any better. good job

wrodjr Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - lol don't you just love the religious nutballs and the wanna be preachers coming out of the woodworks lol

CrackerJack0021 Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - If thats how Christain think, then what am i and the 95% of so-called Christains?

wrodjr Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - God doesn't exist! The burden of proof is yours. and since you can't conjure up god for us to see and feel, you are delusional and should be in a psychiatric ward.

hodag52 Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - I know that Christianity teaches you to be kind to your neighbor and whatnot, but Christians interpret the bible the way they want to, and selectively use the bible as evidence when it is convenient for them. Rednecks don't treat gays or blacks the way that they want to be treated, but they'll still cite the bible to tell you that "God hates fags!"

hodag52 Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - You can't claim that "God is real" is a fact until provide convincing evidence for his existence, and if God is love, then why do you have to say god? Can't you just call it love? If anything, God is pretty fucking wicked considering all the atrocious things he's allowed to happen.

CrackerJack0021 Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - I do not want ppl replying to this unless you have an answer. Plz dont write to argue. It says atheist parents dont force it on their kids. I've seen lots of atheist children (me being a child myself) who were pressed on about atheism by their parents. When the author said that parents don't do that, did he mean all or just most. Also i am Christain and as a child, i see many children of christains are given a choice, and are taught of other religions as i have.

pmcollectorboy Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - Yeah. Human beings are the only animals that know they're alive. And being Christian is the only way to get to heaven. Everyone else will burn in hell. How surprisingly arrogant. I have little doubt that the dolphin or the dog or the cat are perfectly aware they're alive. It's all varying degrees of brain complexities. But once again the religious people fail to bring up proof of their assertions.

cwsaja Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - Grany: another assumption from you. I was raised by Evangelical Baptist pastors. Sunday school is an indoctrination experience, the only thing it teaches is how to accept the abuse and violence handed out from the Church. I have had more religious education than most .... and I still bare the scars....

grannyvonng Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - wrodjr: Re: The burden of proof is yours. Chistians "ain't got no burden"! Atheists have the burden, you're the ones carrying the burden of unbelief. Our burdens have been rolled away and replaced by the Truth. You're the one who should be in a psychiaric ward and administered daily enemas..

wrodjr Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - grannyvonng. lol typical evasive answer from a religious nut like yourself. Come on prove to me god exists. May he strike me dead now! wait for it wait for it...i'm still here. Granny call 911 and admint yourself to a psychiatric ward

pmcollectorboy Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - LOL. Burden of unbelief. That's a riot. I actually feel more free as an atheist than when I was a believer. But we're talking about burden of PROOF, and the burden always falls on those making the positive assertion. LOL. Honestly.

pmcollectorboy Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - Granny. You're Grade A hysterical. We atheists are quite happy and certainly sane from being 100% un-deluded.

wrodjr Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - grannyvoong, your stupid, you are the one that claims god exist so the burden of proof is yours. so prove it! We will wait for your answer

hodag52 Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - I don't think that is a valid point; I think atheist parents are just as likely to try and sway their children's beliefs.

grannyvonng Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - wrodjr: As I said before, it is not incumbent upon the believer to prove anything to any unbeliever that God exists. Keep on in your hysteria. He who laughs last laughs best. Laughing on one side of the face and crying on the other - not a pretty sight.

wrodjr Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - grannyvonng, oh come on old lady. lets put your faith in god to the test. let me point my shotgun at you and pull the trigger. if god exist he will protect you from the buckshots. if god doesn't exist the buckshots will penetrate your body and you will die...would you like to test your faith in god? see if he protects you?

grannyvonng Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - pmcollectorboy: You have the need to convince yourself of your100% sanity, I don't. As for your state of happiness (gaiety) ...oooh yes!

pmcollectorboy Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - Oh that is so typical. It's not up to the believer to prove his god. What a riot. That's not how logic works. It is up to the maker of the positive assertion to prove his case. Otherwise people can make up any number of ridiculous make believe entities and ask why you don't believe in them. Do you believe in Zeus? What if a follower of Zeus asked you to believe and prove he is wrong? Do you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster? He's my (fake) god. Believe or die!

hodag52 Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - Are you just willfully ignorant? If I told you that magical fairies were the only reason why the world continued turning, would you accept that as truth, or would you question me and ask me for proof? Unless you're an irrational idiot, that's a pretty easy question. Atheists are similarly skeptical of the belief that there is an all-powerful, all-knowing creature that created the world and watches over us. Without evidence, there is no convincing reason to believe in a god.

pmcollectorboy Says:

Nov 26, 2009 - Pfft. I have no need to prove my sanity to myself. I KNOW I don't hear voices in my head or believe things to exist that don't really exist. Unlike religious people. Up yours! You're such a typical condescending, judgmental, hate-filled, arrogant Christian nutjob. You want to believe in your superhero? Fine. Leave me to my undeluded skepticism.

Some argue that religious life is the best way to live. They claim life without a god is sad and depressing. Statements like "I could not imagine my life without God", and "My life would be meaningless without God", are common defenses for a religious life. The following is a list of advantages atheists enjoy over a religious life. I invite the religious viewers to submit a response video with the advantages of a religious life. Atheists can make moral decisions based on the specific context. Having absolutes like "Though Shall not Lie" stops people from thinking for themselves and making the right decision based on the situation at hand. In what situation would be okay to lie? Most religious people would say, never. Atheists would disagree. For example: If you were living in Germany hiding Jews in your attic during the holocaust, and Hitler's Nazis knocked on your door and asked if you were hiding Jews, would it be okay to lie to save the lives of the Jews in your attic? I believe trying to save their lives would the moral and proper choice. Atheists have the power to do what's right for all humanity, rather than the forced perspective of doing what is right for a god. Atheists can experience healthy outrage at the outrageous without fear of questioning God's plan. We can be outraged when a friend dies of a horrible disease, or is killed in a car accident. It is okay to be upset at disasters and horrible events. It is not a part of any plan. It is just a horrible event. Atheists try to learn from them and not just chalk it up to God's Plan. We use science to understand catastrophic events like hurricanes, and tsunamis. This gives us the ability to save lives. If we think a magical plan is going to happen no matter what, then why try to stop the events or make things better. Atheists do not wonder if a god is punishing us. Yes, there is cause and effect, and our actions effect how we live, you should save for retirement, and if your diet is bad you'll end up fat, or sick, or both. But if an airplane part falls on your house, it is an accident. If you find a 5 dollar bill on the sidewalk, it is an accident. No magical intervention, no magical wrath, these are just accidents. Life has an element of chance. This may not seem comforting, but here is another way to look at it: Your loved one dies in a completely random car accident where nobody could possibly be blamed. Is it more comforting to know the accident happened because of bad luck or is better to think the accident could have been prevented by an omnipotent being that could have stepped in and saved them from an untimely death, but your god decided to just let them die? You don't have to be frustrated thinking "Was it because I didn't pray enough?" "Was God mad at me or them?" "Maybe I should have prayed more." Atheist take comfort in knowing there is no plan. Atheist can be friends with everyone without having the thought in the back of their mind that this person's lifestyle may be evil. You have the power to accept people for what they are. Enabling you to enjoy their quirks rather than chastise them for being unique. Atheists can have relationships with people who have alternative lifestyles without feeling like they have to save them from some deity that is going to condemn them for being themselves. After all, if there was a creator, then he has made everyone the way they are. Atheists don't fear that a large part of the earth's population is going to hell for being true to themselves. Atheists do not live with the fear of hell. This is one of the hardest things for religious people to shake and one of the best rewards. Religious people love the thought of heaven, but fear hell as a consequence. In order to lose the fear of hell, you have to let go of the false hope of heaven. Atheists have done both. Atheists raise freethinking children; let them pick a religion, or none. What would you have picked? This is hard for parents. If a child wanted to be another religion, or even atheist, it would be devastating to most religious parents. Why not teach them about all religions and tell them why you believe the one you do, and then let them choose? Atheists do not force atheism on their children. We simple let them see the evidence for and against religion and let them make up there own mind. They may change there mind several times. This is okay. Atheists love their children no matter what belief they are drawn too. That is the beauty of free thinking. You can raise your children according to your values without feeling as though you have to defend Bible stories that even a child can see are fiction.
