It has to do with an error of the ancients, an error that sparked the emergence of religion in general as a movement of appeasement (the sacrifice/salvation industry).

They simply don't understand satire. In addition, most people who make atheist videos on You tube don't use so much sarcasm as you do. Maybe that's why they get mistaken.<br />Anyway, I really like your videos and they never fail to make me laugh.

As another fellow Atheist, Musician and indeed Comedy Actor I respect and enjoy your work.<br /><br />Here in the UK there is no real religious debate as such. The idea and talk of God and Religion isn't something people spend much time over, and isn't a political football.<br />Charles Darwin appears on the back of the Countrie's currency (a ten pound note), and no-one has any problem with it.<br /><br />I can fully understand and support your desire in putting forward the case for Free Thinking.<br /><br />Just one last response to a previous writer (also called Chris) on your channel.<br />'I have a personal relationship with Christ and know that he exists.'<br />Truly frightening . . .<br />Under any other useage, one could classify such a person as insane. Having any 'relationship' with a magical invisible being you 'know' exists would be enough to get a person locked away, but since it is 'Christ' it is deemed acceptable. In my opinion, It isn't.<br /><br />Take care and keep up the good work!<br />You won't convert the mass-brainwashed or convince Free Thinking in those indoctrinated from birth, but every tiny chink in the brickwall lets a little light shine through.Chris Mandershttp://www.youtube.com/uberlasernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145618750613855559.post-87822448330418183272011-09-10T21:56:58.107-07:002011-09-10T21:56:58.107-07:00Haha these Christians are funny... "They can&...Haha these Christians are funny... "They can't disprove our god, but we can disprove evolution" haha, go ahead and disprove it. The problem is, you Christians don't want to admit that you are wrong, so you close your mind to anything that defies the bible. The reason why you are so ignorant and unintelligent is that you idiots don't listen to facts. You don't know how evolution works, because when someone tries to calmly explain it to you, you don't listen. Almost all fields of science have some topic that defies the bible. And if you don't learn science, then you are ignorant.<br /><br />Hey Christians, if you don't believe Evolution, then you shouldn't be allowed to get the annual flu shot! Here you christians are so aware of evolution, yet you do not understand it, and don't like it messing with your faith trying to learn it. Look at cancer, and annual flu shots, all basic examples of simple evolution.<br /><br />Hi Eddie, I really like your videos (music, and religion) as a fellow musician and atheist.Derek Matherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530124157558448789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145618750613855559.post-63103702034160642492011-09-07T01:37:14.981-07:002011-09-07T01:37:14.981-07:00Thank you, you are very kind.Thank you, you are very kind.Edward Currenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772053738612119871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145618750613855559.post-17544788722801922192011-09-06T17:58:24.332-07:002011-09-06T17:58:24.332-07:00I just have to say that I think you're a brill...I just have to say that I think you're a brilliant man, Mr. Current.

If you believe that God is the God of Spinoza and Einstein, and that Christ was a philosopher and a teacher, then I will not poke fun at that. If you believe that God intervenes into the physics of the world through free will, and God has a plan, and therefore everything happens for a reason, I'll poke fun at that in videos like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCuc34hvD4" rel="nofollow">"What If God Disappeared."</a> If you're a young-Earth creationist who believes that praying can affect the course of world events and that non-Christians disproportionally suffer pain long after their deaths, I will poke fun at you hard.

It is therefore very difficult to engage in what we may call "logical" debate with sequential argument and counter argument. Your engagement with Chris highlights this. Although I believe you've checkmated him, your response will have no doubt have bounced off a brain that exists in an altogether different thought processing paradigm. I'm always amazed,frustrated and find it inextricable how apparently highly educated and intelligent religious people can somehow drift nonchantly from one thought paradigm to the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145618750613855559.post-81294566595450205372011-08-07T19:42:59.970-07:002011-08-07T19:42:59.970-07:00Humor is my opiate, and you are my new dealer.

In the same paragraph no less. I guess it means nothing that while the experience of Christ's "real" existence applies only to Christians, evolutionary biology is researched and accepted by people of every modern culture throughout the world (anyone <i>can</i> dig up that fossil record after all). Instead, one's subjective experience and personal opinion regarding science are the only path to what you call "truth." Huh.<br /><br />I always thought the best check of whether something is true is whether it's acknowledged by others outside one's own immediate group of same-thinkers.

I think that's a bit presumptuous of you. I have a personal relationship with Christ and know that he exists. I will not be bound by practicing my religion to myself just because it offends atheists like you. My belief system is based in existential reality and experience. I find evolution to be a joke. It helps people to rationalize their more base behaviors and gives them an "ok" to me morally repugnant people. Christianity is not a "set of rules".<br /><br />500 people had an experience of Christ after the Resurrection. Don't insult my intelligence! You anger me to no end with your flippant disregard for truth and theology. People have actually DIED and have been PERSECUTED for their belief in Christ in the wonderfully free countries of China, North Korea, and Iran. Why don't you try reading some church history and find out for yourself? Oh yeah, you've already come to the realization in your own mind that God is a bit of undigested beef!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731012640681474517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145618750613855559.post-64157812952804043652011-07-06T00:41:14.832-07:002011-07-06T00:41:14.832-07:00Great blog.
