Atheist
Atheists aren't that bad. This is NOT an argument for atheism... It's a defense of atheists. This video received the award for "Excellence in Humanist Communications" from the Harvard University Humanist Chaplaincy. James Randi said this video was "very cool!" Michael Shermer said it was "very impressive." Penn & Teller said, "If a god existed, this video would make him wish he were dead." Dan Barker (author of "Losing Faith in Faith") said it was "very creative and powerful" and that it "makes a GREAT point!" Greg Epstein (the Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University) said "it's a wonderful video!" Stephen Ulh (author of "Imagine No Superstition") said that this video was "just wonderful for the cause of atheism." David Mills (author of "Atheist Universe") said "I am absolutely addicted to watching this fabulous video, which has almost instantly become a legend in the freethought community. Zak has created the most intellectually and emotionally powerful multimedia presentation I've ever seen endorsing the atheist position. This is a proud moment for all rational-minded people. Atheist books can have wide-reaching influence, but I strongly suspect that Zak's video will influence a much larger audience than any atheist book ever published. The first few times I watched this video, I literally had tears in my eyes by the end. The artistic talent and technical skills required to write and produce this video -- as well as its core message -- have made Zachary Kroger my newest freethought hero. I'm not surprised at the HUGE reaction Zak's video has generated." This video (among others) was also mentioned in the November 4th New York Times article "God and Man on YouTube." Nobelief.com said this was "the best video of 2006." NOTE- It has been brought to my attention that Marlon Brando, Mark Twain and Thomas Edison are not atheists. I looked into it, and my original sources were wrong. Sorry. You can download the song used in this video at http://thegodmovie.com/cd.php (track 3) Lastly, I am pleased to see how much debate this video has sparked, and I encourage everyone that wants to, to join in. HOWEVER, spamming will not be tolerated. Nor will racist, sexist, or other mean comments. Such behavior is not conducive to good conversations, and users who do not act accordingly will be blocked. If you want to insult people, go somewhere else. Tags: Atheist Christian God Atheism Agnostic Scientist Psalms George Bush Prejudice Bible |

Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes About Atheism And Religion
I am an atheist, and these are my favorite short atheistic quotations, set to nice uplifting trance music! (NOTE: quotes were gathered from the internet, they have not been verified) MORE GREAT QUOTES: Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong. - Christopher Hitchens I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue. - Bertrand Russell You are a good person because you fear damnation. I am a good person without obligation. - Guillermo Garcia Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right. - Mencken It is wrong always and everywhere for anyone to believe anything on insufficient evidence. - William Clifford I used to believe in god, until I reached the age of reason. - George Carlin If only god would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss Bank. - Woody Allen Our god is vengeful! Oh spiteful one, show me who to smite and they shall be smoten. - Homer Simpson Dear lord: I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign. Thy will be done. - Homer Simpson Blasphemy is a victimless crime. - Unknown god is dead! - Friedrich Nietzsche if u want to download a text document of every quote i have (more than in the vid) download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/sm9m15 Tags: atheism agnosticism secularism humanism rationality reason skepticism religiosity theism criticism youtube trancedevotee |

Sam Harris - Misconceptions About Atheism
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=1456 Author Sam Harris addresses what he feels are several commonly-held misconceptions about atheism. ----- "Believing the Unbelievable: The Clash Between Faith and Reason in the Modern World" with Sam Harris speaking at the 2007 Aspen Ideas Festival. Some of the most inspired and provocative thinkers, writers, artists, business people, teachers and other leaders drawn from myriad fields and from across the country and around the world all gathered in a single place - to teach, speak, lead, question, and answer at the 2006 Aspen Ideas Festival. Throughout the week, they all interacted with an audience of thoughtful people who stepped back from their day-to-day routines to delve deeply into a world of ideas, thought, and discussion. Sam Harris is the author of the New York Times bestsellers, The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation. The End of Faith won the 2005 PEN Award for Nonfiction. Mr. Harris' writing has been published in over ten languages. He and his work have been discussed in Newsweek, TIME, U.S. News and World Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Chicago Tribune, The Economist, The Guardian, The Independent, The International Herald Tribune, Der Spiegel, The Globe and Mail, New Scientist, Wired, SEED Magazine, and many other journals. Mr. Harris makes regular appearances on television and radio to talk about the danger that religion now poses to modern societies. His essays have appeared in Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, The Times of London, The Boston Globe, and elsewhere. He blogs for the Washington Post / Newsweek website: On Faith, the Huffington Post, TruthDig, and Edge.org. Mr. Harris is a graduate in philosophy from Stanford University and has studied both Eastern and Western religious traditions, along with a variety of contemplative disciplines, for twenty years. He is completing a doctorate in neuroscience. Tags: atheists athiesm athiests hitchens dawkins god delusion religions beliefs agnostics science christianity islam foratv |

My "conversion" to atheism
This is is short overview of my life as a Christian and why I became an atheist. This is mainly for those religious people who may state that I do not know what I am talking about, or that I have not studied Christianity in any real depth. Yes - I know I was not "born a Christian" and highlight this fact later in the video. For brevity I made that statement instead of "I was born an atheist in a Christian family and raised with the values, rituals, and conventions inherit in such situations". The popular understanding of the phrase has the meaning I was looking for without having to go into a massive explanation as to why everyone is born an atheist. Besides, if I had gone down that route I would now be defending a "I was born an atheist" comment to all the idiot theists who visit. Furthermore, if anyone make a comment about this again I will give you the thumbs down - if you can't be bothered reading the descriptions of videos, it's your own fault. There is a slight problem with the Youtube version - it cuts off one of two closing slides and the credit for the music, which called "High Drama" from the album "Pictures" by Timo Maas.

Christopher Hitchens: The Moral Necessity of Atheism (1/8)
A fantastic lecture by Christopher Hitchens about how atheism (and anti-theism) is not only a healthy belief system but a moral necessity. He talks about the very earthly nature of religion, the dangerous effect it is having on our world and the need for people to think for themselves. Have a drink and get comfortable because Hitchens is going to explain it all to you just brilliantly!

10 Myths About Atheists and Atheism by Sam Harris
I am an atheist, and this is a video based on an article by Sam Harris in which he confronts 10 untruths about atheism. 1) Atheists believe that life is meaningless. No, atheists tend to be quite sure that life is precious. 2) Atheism is responsible for the greatest crimes in human history. No, political, racial and nationalistic dogma are responsible for the greatest crimes in human history. 3) Atheism is dogmatic. No, one doesn't have to take anything on faith, or be otherwise dogmatic, to reject unjustified religious beliefs. 4) Atheists think everything in the universe arose by chance. No, atheists rely on scientific theories which explain how the universe and life evolved. 5) Atheism has no connection to science. No, an engagement with scientific thinking tends to erode, rather than support, religious faith. 6) Atheists are arrogant. No, atheists are ready to admit when they do not know something is true based on insufficient evidence. 7) Atheists are closed to spiritual experience. No, nothing prevents an atheist from experiencing love, ecstasy, rapture and awe. 8) Atheists believe that there is nothing beyond human life and human understanding. No, atheists can freely entertain the possibility that there is more to human life than we currently understand. 9) Atheists ignore the fact that religion is extremely beneficial to society. No, atheists simply realize that the beneficial effects of a religion do not demonstrate the truth of religious doctrine. 10) Atheism provides no basis for morality. No, atheists realize that humans do not get their morality from religions but from human nature and reason.

Strong atheism is wrong (an agnostic argument, part 1)
An agnostic's argument for why strong atheism is wrong, in several parts. Part 1: Introduction, why I'm making this, what my definitions and axioms are, etc. I mistakenly said in the first couple sentences that this is an argument against "theism"; that should have been "atheism". Doh! I do not address theism explicitly in this series. I have found that the "arguments from god" series by 2LegHumanist are very good at doing so on rational grounds, so I'll just point you to that. AFAIK, his position is the same as mine (weak agnostic). I may later make some vids that address issues or arguments against theism I feel are inadequately covered by the YT atheists, but in the meantime I think that the strong atheists here have been getting a free ride on their fallacies. This series addresses that. :-) Tags: atheism agnosticism atheist agnostic religion christianity christian logic skeptic skepticism strong weak argument |
