Yeah, I know I already posted it. I'm just making sure it gets a wide audience.
He should team up with Cali and a website designer, they could knock that site up within a year. :)

Peach is a good speaker .. thanks for posting her video, Leo, it's the first time I've heard of her. She seems to have her head screwed on right and seems to make good points, although I don't know what's been happening with Thunderf00t because I've lost my very brief interest in his channel some time ago ... but I'm interested in seeing his response to Peach.

I'm not interested in any sort of religious or atheist videos. Does that make me a bad atheist?
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

No. Being an atheist is enough. :demon:

I doubt he will, as Thunderf00t rarely addresses any criticism towards him, let alone rectify it. That is something channel owners like AronRa, Potholer54 and C0nc0rdance (lordp should check his videos on circumcision out btw) do on a regular basis.

Richard has not been himself for quite a while but he seems to be getting back to his old form again.

I'd say you'd be one of the smart ones then. :biggrin:

I would like to point out though that there is a YT atheist community, not unlike a forum (all be it a bit more volatile). This is not just about videos and responses, but just like in forums, YT has facilitated into friendships, even marriages, heartbreak, and the occasional legal battles in that community. Even though I am not making videos myself on religious topics, I am very much a part of that community as well.

When first exploring the world of internet atheism TF was the first I met. His Why Do We Laugh At Creationist series was brilliant, and answered some of the questions my creationist nemesis flung at me. So both entertaining and informative.

Then he was suddenly crappy and whiny and hung up on DMCA and commenting on things he doesn't know about. And now he totally sucks balls. I think he's overvalued his own importance, and needs to think again before making more videos

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

I was just considering this today after watching Peach's video ... she briefly talked about friendship (although my impressions is she meant that in broad terms) before moving on to her criticism, and that brought to mind relationships in the forum context, and that the only technical difference between forums and youtube is the audio/visual aspect ... which, if anything, probably takes the whole thing to a different level again ... maybe closer to face to face interaction, but with the benefit of time and distance in which to self-moderate and craft interaction to some degree, as is possible with forums. Probably more to it, but that's my take upon musing on it briefly today.

He talks British. He must be educated. But I like Attenborough if I just HAVE to hear some British.

But I researched this religion thing. I summarized my results:
