Oct 10, 2008 - I've seen an uneducated man slience a educated woman by rationaly explaining why he thought of Jesus as the basturd child of God. Education had nothing to do with it. He used her own Bible to make his point. He changed my veiws also with his 5th grade education. Some people refuse to see, my eyes are open.

Oct 10, 2008 - Wow, Aaron! This was your best video so far in this series! I lmao throughout. 5/5 fav. All in one video, references to Bertrand Russell, "The Life of Brian," Dr. Shermer, Pacino, Roddenberry, Penn & Teller, Lewis Black, and ICE CREAM IN HELL! WOW. BTW: Was that a Mike Meyer's "Wayne's World" impression on the ice cream thing? Excellent! Party Time...*air guitar* bblll blll blll bllblblllbllblbll

Oct 10, 2008 - If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.- Bertrand Russell

Oct 10, 2008 - Great quote. Great man. =)

Oct 10, 2008 - The intro has a nintendo-esque feel to it :D
AtheistAaron Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - LOL, I'll take that as a compliment. I grew up in the golden age of gaming, luckily. =)
Z4lUS Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - 80's to mid 90's pwned ;)

Oct 10, 2008 - Great video again Aaron. I like especially the Bertrand Russell part.
AtheistAaron Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Thanks, I went more into detail on why I loved that essay so much, but it had to be cut due to time constraints. I may make a vid where I read and analyze it in the future, if I find the time.
saigokun Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Yes, please do so, that would be very interesting.
IcyNami Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - Aaron, all I want to do is to encourage you. If I did the same shit, people would hate me. But you're loveable! (you are). Fuck, I love you! This is your medium! I mean, even if I were a fundalmentalist and I came across you in a parking lot, I wouldn't expect you to kick my ass. That's grace!
AtheistAaron Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - LOL! Thanks for the kind words. More answers (finally, I know!) coming soon - right after a short political vid.
greenrots Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Again great vid aaron. Question: do you believe in a anthropic principle, and if so why? Also what is your view on eugenics and the political hot potato, black inteligence, that james watson recently brought up?
AtheistAaron Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Humanity sees itself as quite important and thusly comes up with loaded questions which can only be answered in a way that positions us at the centre of the universe. Eugenics - too complicated to post in text, I'll do a vid eventually. Watson retracted much of what he said, and while it is possible genetics may play a small factor in the distributed intelligence performance of a population, my studies in psychology and sociology lead me to believe that environment is a much greater factor.

Oct 10, 2008 - For some reason, this video reminded me of a joke an atheist friend of mine once told me. If I'm right (I being the Atheist), in the end, I don't get to brag about it. If you're right, you get to laugh it up.
AtheistAaron Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - But me and Robert will have the last laugh, racking up the profit on the exclusive ice cream stand in Hell. =0
64bitgamer Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - What will they pay you with? Ice Water?
AtheistAaron Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Hmm... good question. In the free world, it's money, in prison it's cigarettes... I wonder what the currency in Hell is... =0
