I made up my first YouTube video!

[Imrational]

Well, last year, I bought my first computer in twenty years. I had all these wonderful ideas of how I was going to help spread skepticism and rational thought. I guess I was being a little optimistic :o

Anyway, I finally pried myself away from the online porn sites and did something creative. I made a very small video for youtube.

Please check it out and provide me with some constructive criticism. I'd like to make more of these, but want to know how to improve them.

Thanks!

Very good!

But.....(there's always a "but")...

Be careful with the prolonged black screens. Use more white text to emphasize what you are saying at the moment.

Good stuff. Keep it going.

Thanks for the feedback!

constructive criticisms...

try to cut down on the black screens - the MTV generation need constant visual stimulation!

I would imagine that Christians would counter that the portrayal of Jesus as god's son in the human sense is incorrect...seeing as how they believe that jesus is part of the holy trinity - therefore it was god himself who manifested himself in human form in order to remove the sins of the world....

but yeah it was good :D

not bad for a first try...

where do you stand on slave reparations? the whole don't punish me for the sins of my ancestors thing...

also I think to you 4000 years is a long time but to God, an infinite being, it must be very short in deed...

looking forward to v.2:)

Uh look, skeptical witnessing.

:p Hey, why shouldn't atheists and skeptics utilize effective methods of spreading their memes? Just because religions use those tactics doesn't mean that methods are wrong or evil.

Slave reparations, excellent point. Of course, I would argue that eating a piece of fruit without understanding the consequences does not equate with kidnapping someone from a foreign country, bringing them here under horrific circumstances, and putting them (and their descendents) into slavery.

As to your question, I am personally against slave reparations. However, I have to admit that I lean towards reparations for Native Americans because we had government treaties that were broken... i.e. written contracts.

As to 4,000 years being a short time for an eternal being... you have no basis for that statement. Seeing that the Christian God is frequently given omniscient powers, we could make the supposition that time is meaningless to him... i.e. a short view/long view is irrelevant.

If you are an eternal being, why notice time at all?
