1. What a gigantic load of shit.

[laconicsax]

2. Care to elaborate?

[lob1]

8. I disagree with every statement made in the video.

I'm an atheist. Some jerk is telling me I'm not happy and never can be because I'm an atheist. Bullshit. I'm very happy with my life and my friends and family. I hate people who know how I feel so much better than I know how I feel.

[Silent3]

10. Um... I think your sarcasm detector needs adjustment.

You realize the video was a parody, don't you?

[lob1]

13. No I didn't. I'm an ass.

[Evoman]

19. Bwahahaha.

You are awesome.

25. Poe's Law

Don't worry about it. Happens to all of us.

27. Indeed, it does:

11. In that case:

Check out some of his other videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/EdwardCurrent
It's parody, all of it. He plays a fundie to mock them.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. How would one know?

[laconicsax]

5. Natural disasters would happen at random, prayers would go unanswered, etc.

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Guess 'he' disappeared a long, long time ago then.

[angstlessk]

9. are you saying natural disasters do NOT happen at random and prayers ARE answered?

n/t

[laconicsax]

12. No.

I'm saying that if God didn't exist, then natural disasters would happen at random and prayers would go unanswered.

[angstlessk]

16. so you are saying god is targeting people..like say your child/grandchild for destruction

by a hurrican/flood/tornado...? maybe cause you did not pray good enough or not at all?

[laconicsax]

20. No.

Let me try it this way, if gravity exerts an equal pull on all objects, regardless of their mass, a feather and a hammer should hit the ground at the same time if they were dropped from identical heights at time in a vacuum--say on the moon.

21. well I do not see one iota of difference between the simple and the fancy version

if god wants it to be so be it! ohh lotsa two letter words all running together!

[laconicsax]

23. Try applying knowledge.

2nd statement: If gravity exerts an equal pull on all objects, regardless of their mass, a feather and a hammer should hit the ground at the same time if they were dropped from identical heights at time in a vacuum--say on the moon.

Applied knowledge: A feather and hammer dropped from identical heights in a vacuum hit the ground at the same time in experiment no the moon.

Conclusion: Gravity exerts an equal pull on all objects, regardless of their mass.

Original statement: If God does not exist, we would likely see natural disasters occur at random and prayers would go unanswered.

Applied knowledge: Natural disasters occur at random, prayer has been consistently shown to have no effect on the outcome of an event.

I'll let you arrive at the conclusion yourself.

4. what a load of crap....

[laconicsax]

6. Care to elaborate?

[Silent3]

15. Perhaps another comment...

...from those suffering from an irony deficiency?

[ORDagnabbit]

18. mea saurus...mea saurus...mea maxima saurus... Thats what I get for only watching the first 30

seconds of it and getting completely reactionary.

very nicely done.

[54anickel]

14. Oh dear god, that cracked me up!!! Well, except the puppy sex thing. That sort of crossed the line

Not the puppies!!!!!

The before and after pics were great!

[angstlessk]

17. I admit I am on dailup and did not wait for the load...of crap...so I

am just spouting my atheistic principals!!!

[ZombieHorde]

22. Oh my God, that video is awesome! nt

[moggie]

24. All of Edward Current's work is worth watching

Pitch perfect stuff.

[TechBear_Seattle]

26. The other day, upon the stair, I met a god who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away!

[Occam Bandage]

28. This is the kind of logical truth that all Athiests need to hear.

Why do the Athiests never attack Allah, or Budda, or Hindu? Why do they only attack God? It's because they know hes real, and they hate that they cant feel his everlasting love.

[sakabatou]

29. And your evidence is for God existing is...?

[Occam Bandage]

30. Surely you can be more interesting than that.

[sakabatou]

35. Of course I could

But because you posited the positive statement, the burden of proof is on you.

[Occam Bandage]

37. I thought for sure you'd grab on to the bizarrely ignorant statement that

atheists "hate" God and not Allah, so much like saying that French Christians worship Dieu and not God. Or that I implied Buddha (and, more outrageously,"Hindu") was a god. Or that even that I wrote "Athiests" instead of "Atheists." Or, for God's sakes, that I had apparently posted favorably to a satirical video mocking fundamentalists.

I mean, if you were incapable of determining for yourself satirical intent to an outrageously dumb, fundamentalist-esque comment to a satirical video mocking fundamentalists, at least you could have grabbed on to any one of the preposterously dumb things in there. Going for "well prove God exists?" How mundane.

[sakabatou]

38. And you're making the generalization that we "hate" a certain god or not

I just don't think all gods exist. That's all there is to it. Nothing more.

How many more irony meters must I go through?

[TechBear_Seattle]

32. He feels he is incapable of existence without God

Therefore, God exists. QED.

[Occam Bandage]

34. God exists because God exists. You cannot be more logically correct than a tautology. nt

[sakabatou]

36. O RLY?

[54anickel]

31. Aww man, now I'm confused. Is this another example of Poe's Law? Serious or parody? n/t

[Occam Bandage]

33. Interpret it the same way you interpret the YouTube video linked by the OP.
