Sickening.

I came across this video on Youtube.

I started asking some questions, including a query as to why a "perfectly good" god would command his followers to kill their own daughters for having sex with their boyfriends. After he replied...

Sin like I said is punishable by death, in these times, a time of no grace as it is today, A loose woman was stoned. It doesn't make God immoral. He is being just.
...I realized the sort of idiot I was dealing with. Notice that he seems to be implying that as today is also a "time of no grace", that "loose women" (which I guess means a woman who is free and not the property of a man) still deserve to be murdered for having sex on her own terms. I'm tired of the justifications for hatred and cruelty that mindless robots like him will excrete in order to avoid the slightest question or doubt regarding their utterly inflexible superstitious fantasies, but maybe somebody else is interested.

I don't think it's a case of him just saying shocking things to garner attention for himself, like some kid who wears face-paint and pierces his eyelids. He's a genuine example of the sort of people who's religious indoctrination is so complete that their brains are shut off. When atrocities are committed in the name of religion, people like him are generally the foot soldiers. The "anything is good if we think it is God's will" crowd gives me chills.

That video was irritating.
He slowly and deliberately made illogical arguments.

seems to me the OP is simply highlighting a uncomfortable aspect of the religious in the US.

And as I said, this is news? Am I the only person who has heard of people like Fred Phelps on this forum. So far there have been 260 views of this thread, if just a third of those people clicked on the youtube link, you have just given this guy the highest number of hits for his non football related videos.

So rather than just highlighting, we are actually encouraging this guy

Don't forget to subscriiiiiibe!

I hate the attention whores on YouTube like the plague. If you have something worthwhile to contribute, fine, but when I want to find a given video, say, a funny skit from somewhere or a MW2 mission walkthrough, I don't appreciate wading through a dozen re-uploads and "oh! I want to do a walkthrough of MW2 cause no one's ever done that before!"-uploads to find what I'm looking for, just because some 12 year old has decided that getting as many channel views and subscribers is the most important thing in the world.

He doesn't answer any of the questions just restates them. First question "How can a finite act lead to infinite punishment?", he starts talking about consequences then states that finite acts can have infinite consequences which is the question restated as an assertion.

Does god have free will? Answer, yes but god is all good so will only act in accordance with his nature. This is saying that god both does and doesn't have free will.


And so it goes.

I tried showing my technique on youtube, but they kept deleting it, I am now convinced that the NWO doesn't want your relationships to be satisfying, this will lead to the collapse of marriages and civilisation will soon follow. Either that or the Illuminati are trying to bring a book out on the same subject and they don't want the competition, or perhaps my secrets could reveal the truth about the Great pyramid of Giza and that Zahi Hawass would never allow it. I'm working on a theory about the Aliens as we speak. Natgeo are gonna do a documentary about it, but Fox will probably ban it for the sake of their evil overlords


still heres my youtube channel

It's a Wobet poster. And I can't hear or understand anything he is saying, yet I still know he is wrong.
