Answer 1

Wow- Terrific video.
Thanks for posting.

Perhaps post it again, and ask specifically how Christians feel about it?

Answer 2

I, for one, do NOT care about religion. I'm sorry, Jodie, I didn't watch the video...I'm in a hurry, lol.... I don't need anyone or anything to justify why I do or don't care. THAT'S the problem with this whole world...everyone worries what everyone else is thinking, doing, or worshipping.....leave it be.
I don't believe in God. But, that doesn't mean I'm going to refuse my paychecks because the money says, "IN GOD WE TRUST" on it. Who cares!
Now, unfortunately, our forefathers came here seeking religious freedom, so our country today has a lot of religious overtones....but most are predicated on fear.
I could never become President, because the country would have a sh*t fit if they knew an open Atheist was running for office. And, if by chance I did win the election, religious zealots would find a way to assassinate me.....because they're scared. Scared that a non-believer could actually be smart, or logical even....and at the same time, care for a nation of believers. I wouldn't care if they believed in God, wouldn't care if I was the only one that didn't....as long as my opinion was just as important as the next guy's.
Everyone, including some Atheists, should STOP looking for things that are wrong with others, and instead, try finding common threads of decency among us so that WE, as a whole, can co-exist peacefully. I know that's stretching a bit, but... I'm easy going, I don't hate, and I believe in "The Golden Rule". That's why I don't care, lol.

Answer 3

I am always interested in people who would restrict my rights.

ADDENDA

Excellent video! It says it all.

"When we couldn't even old political office in some states"

That should be "can't". Some - seven - states (e.g. Texas, home of our theocratic leader) still require belief in a "supreme deity" to hold public office.

"when it is not religion at all but a direct attack on Christians they mention nothing about "other" religions in this clip only christianity."

There are that famed persecution complex and willful ignorance. I suppose you missed the shots of the many Islamic terrorist acts? Or are you claiming those as Xian, too? Not too self-centered of you...

Answer 4

I care because the video fits with how I feel. It makes sense on all levels and I agree with every comment made in the video

Answer 5

We care about religion because religionists continue to use their beliefs to make laws that govern ALL of us, whether we believe in god or not. This is wrong... it's called Tyranny of the Majority.

I love that video and I watch it once a week. It's an exceptional representation of non-belief.

Answer 6

Thanks for sharing that. I already knew the majority of facts in the video, but this guy put it into a format that sounds so rational, even the religious fanatics can't talk down at it.

Fantastic!

Answer 7

A star to you my friend. I wish I could give you 10 stars

Answer 8

What you said Jodie. I wonder how many of thoso answering actually watched the video.

Answer 9

If you notice, the name of this forum extends beyond "religion" and goes all the way to "spirituality."

Answer 10

When we couldn't even old political office in some states...why do they find it hard to understand that we do care.
