Myself, I'm a non-believer. However, I feel that if all of the believers followed this fellas example, the world would be a happier, more pleasant place.

Weak arguments to not like religion. Weak arguments to love Christ. Weaker spoken word.
At least the camera work and editing were good.

Ive been telling people this shit for years now. Religion has caused more harm and seperation among people than good. If you wanna believe in some all-powerful being creating the known universe, fine. But you shouldnt live your life by some book or what a group of people say.

I would have finished it if it wasn't a rap. But I just couldn't...

What many of you atheists hate to admit, is the problem with religon is man. Not god.
But being most atheists are already selfish people, go hate yourself in a corner, off the internet while the rest of us try to do some good in the world.

And considering that atheists don't believe in God, I'm sure they realize that the issue with is man, not "God." You know, since they believe that he's a man-made fictional character and all. Get it? Cool observations though, dude. Very enlightening. |

Not an atheist, this just struck me as an extremely ignorant comment. So, people who rely on logic and scientific fact to explain the natural world are selfish whilst "religious" people think that the millions of others whose beliefs don't align with their own are eternally doomed? Interesting!

We should respect all cultures and religions except hate mongering monotheists.

See what I did there? It's easy to make unfounded generalizations. I don't believe the above statement btw. Just thought I'd say that before someone gets their panties in a bunch.

I can't stand that Jefferson guy.
the 'fat dude' with glass of wine has good points though. for instance how can you say you like the church, bible, jesus and then go on to say you hate religion? like the fat dude says it doesn't add up & seems like it's all marketing, albeit not too shrewd. too much ambiguity and contradictions, sounds Jeffson sounds exactly like what he attempts to preach against. |

Religion, on the other hand, has started countless wars, corrupted men, and reinforced discrimination against women, to name a few. Not to mention the general dickishness of many politicians in our country at the moment. I would not consider them one in the same.

idk if that's compelling enough.
I think you would have to specify the particular elements of religion that work or don't work. as with most theological discussion you can't expect the terms to be clear and transparent for all. Jefferson doesn't do such a great job of expressing that imo. (like the fat dude said you might as well be marketing Coke over other soda). religion, to me, sounds very general and in itself too vague to make an argument about either way. Using anything as general as religion as a basis for an argument (without getting to the specifics) is no wiser than making generalizations imo. I am also unsure why Jefferson choose to use the word 'religion' instead of 'Christianity' even though it seems he was referring to it. He just sets himself up for further misunderstanding. I admit I didn't like the guy at all (message or aesthetics) less than 10 secs into the vid. |
