Atheist

Back


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 Susan B. Anthony are not atheists. I looked into it, and my original sources were wrong. Sorry.

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.

I think we are all in the same boat with this stuff, both atheists and creationists, we just don't know what happens after we die. The main thing I have trouble with is the self-awareness issue, I can't get around that, does the "real me" go on ?

From a good memory he said "Father forgive them b/c they dont know what they are doing"

"He is called JESUS CHRIST. Believe it or not he is alive and for ever more."

I don't believe you. By the way, What did Jesus say as he was being crucified?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

"all of creation testify that there is only one and true living God"

Which one?

He is called JESUS CHRIST. Believe it or not he is alive and for ever more.

"atheists only make up 0.2% of the prison population."

This statistic seems pretty irrelevant to me. The way people behave in prison is different from the way they behave outside of prison.

"all of creation testify that there is only one and true living God"

How one can be comfortable with basing ones faith on religious dogma, or a vague scientific theory is beyond me. All the evidence atheists, and religious types have about life, is based on evidence found on, and seen from this planet. And given the fact that it would take 3,000 years just to count all of the planets in our galaxy, I'd say both parties are making hasty generalizations.
