I disagree. I think it's very telling, and typical. One does not need to cherry-pick xtian posts to find idiocy. And the idiocy on this video is typical of xtians.
Perhaps you know why you haven't dissolved yet from all of that DNA in your body? It's an ACID! And acids dissolve flesh! It has to be true because a xtian said it was so!
Unless, of course, you consider yourself to be one of those "true christians". Never mind the fact that the other idiots consider themselves to be "true christians" also. You might think you're smarter than they are, but they think that they are pretty smart too.
Hell, I thought I was a "true christian" too.
Therefore I was also an idiot. Although some will question the "was" part of it. Not that that bothers me.
Perhaps it is the zealotry that is the main point of contention. Have you noted that your own anti-Christian zealotry is in direct proportion to the zealotry you claim to despise in the Fundies?
lol....it's a simple observation, not a strawman, and suggested only to help you see where you and your "nemisis" are alike. : )
Uh huh.
OK, for the sake of argument, let's say that you're telling the truth.
You're a woman, right?
Suppose you're at a bar. I see you and say to myself "Damn that is one smokin' hot lady. I think I'll go talk to her".
So I say "You will either love me, and obey me, or I will douse you in gasoline and set you on fire!" You know, like how the kike "god" demands, except that teh kike "god" will burn people forever. I'm more merciful than the kike "god".
How far would that line get me with you?
We're not "alike".
I think it's only natural for people to attack what they see as huge problems in society, because they are so fucking destructive. Some see the problem as some nameless NWO, I see it as going deeper than that. The same people that claim to be fighting the NWO are supporting it anyway, by their allegiance to a kike tribal "god" fraud.
The more that see through that fraud, the sooner teh NWO dies.

How will you change what you detest by acting in the same manner ways you claim to despise? What is destructive is the Fundie approach.....yours is equally destructive and, therefore, will only perpetuate the destruction rather than alleviate any of it.
Your appoach will not help others "see through that fraud" and that's my point. No, we are not "alike" nor do I think you should be like me. Maybe a better question would be: Do you really want to help others see through the "fraud" or is your intent simply to create strife/annimosity? If the former is what you want, change your approach. If the latter is your intent, admit it and accept that you are like the Fundies you claim to despise. : )
The fundie game is so insidious because actively opposing it makes you as they are. That's one of the lessons of Christ: opposing evil on the worldly plane makes one evil.
Note that I didn't say it's one of the lessons of Christianity. ; )

The contrary of course is:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Creation of a good and decent world requires only that each of us as individuals behave in a good and decent manner. There are times when evil requires direct opposition to protect others but by and large we create the world in which we live - each of us by our own actions.
Religion, regardless of the excesses of some, has ever been a motivating force toward good. Religion is the advance guard as it seeks to understand and explain the most fundamental questions central to existence.
Who am I?
What am I?
What is the meaning of life?
Is there a God? If so what is man's relationship to God?
All of these are basic and fundamental to understanding our existence and creating a world in which we wish to live. There are other questions that spin off of these but those are the basis upon which religious thought, and philosophy, is formed. Each religion has its own answers to these questions, and they may be right or wrong, but they are never irrelevant.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing."
Resolving to live a life of good and then doing it is doing something. Many people never even get to the resolving part, hence they do nothing.
I see religion as a very large, very tall tree with many branches. Sometimes, the tree obscures the sunlight and sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on where one is standing in relation to the tree.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing."
I would say that no man has conquered any evil in this world without first conquering himself. That something right there is a quite a feat to accomplish.
Let's be honest, few people are aware enough to be effective at all in regards to attempts to triumph over evil.......and those who lack the necessary awareness to be effective end up making it worse.

So, the solution then would seem to be, raising first awareness.
