Yeah but any act of prayer would still also be a part of God's plan or a part of determinism.

LOL! Michelle made a comment saying that atheists behave differently online than in real life and she has a point - I don't know if I would rant like this in the face of someone coming out of church.

Hmm...is this disrespectful!? Jeez!? Then I am truly an ass. Um... I am most often frustrated and insulted by LACK of logic. I found this video fine... And I agree... it always makes me nuts when I think about 2 football teams both praying to God before the game. I guess God is not a Dallas fan? Is he a Red Sox fan? Yankees fan? Argh!

hmmmmmmm I've never read Voltaire. OK, wait, one little bit for an intro to Philosophy class about 23 years ago... But that quote sounds a bit like Douglas Adams to me 8‹D

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh." A statement by Voltaire. Be Well.

It's not too free - When god says you have to do it his way or he will burn you forever. Many people go along just because they fear hell. They know it too and dare not question. But!.. then if they are good he will grant them that parking place at the moment they need it, even if it means speeding up to beat the person in front of them.

OH so true, lookingforananswer! Arrogance, cruelty and selfishness rolled into one neat, little, nifty idiom.

Things religious people say can be so frustrating. It drives me crazy when people say "there but for the grace of god..." when they talk about someone in a bad situation or whatever. Like they have god's grace but the other person doesn't. I think that is so arrogant. Great vid, btw.

I apologize for the tone of THIS vid... I am disrespectful - but I do not believe that can be said of my behavior in the vast majority of videos that address religion. In this silly vid I am just frustrated by the tone and seeming hypocrisy of an attitude that I do not understand at all. Peace, Michelle.

Thank you Elaina. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. You made my day, by calling my comment "eloquent". =0)

The atheists I know in real life don't ridicule or verbally attack people of faith. They have respect for the fact that not everyone believes in the same things in this life. My best friend is a Christian who attends church every Sunday; her husband is an atheist. Respect is the difference between real life and YouTube when it comes to atheists.

i'm a religious person, but i am also open to the idea of other thoughts about religion. free will? yes we have it. prayer? it has become more about what we want rather than thanks for what we have. god's plan? pretty much lingers down to when we're going to die. basically, that's my modern take on the whole situation. religion has become so warped through the years that you don't know what to believe. i'm more of a saint collector and a believer in a power much greater than all of us.
