There is no denying the benefit the people in the video have brought to human kind. The fact that they do not give glory to God for their talents - even their very life is what makes them vile fools. After a few millennium in hell, I'm sure that they will eventually come to the same realization. They are indeed fools, sad to say.

They do not need to "give glory to God for their talents" because, considering us atheists do not believe in one, they earned them themselves through hard work and determination.

Yes, I understand your point of view, I was simply clarifying statements made in the video about Christians and what we think. Just as you are speaking from the atheistic point of view, I am speaking from that of the Christian camp.

If someone's going to down vote me for having a belief in something, at least have the balls the leave a comment explaining who/why they down voted! Just because I don't agree with the video doesn't mean I down vote it. In fact, I gave it an up vote. I hate when people just decide they don't like a comment, so they down vote it and don't try to defend their point of view. Must be a Plime newbie.

You said 'balls'.*heh* You know it wasn't me because you'd be in the next county. As is well documented, I agree with what you say about sniping downvotes.

Why do people whine every time they get a downvote? It's a bleemin' website. Grow up.

I wasn't whining about the vote, I was whining about the vote with no comment or defense of the vote. The idea of a down vote is the tell someone you don't like their content. If you don't like something, have the decency to explain yourself.

Must I comment on every upvote, too? If that's a requirement, I'll stop voting altogether.

Someone who doesn't want to risk downvotes shouldn't be posting on a website where downvotes are possible.

I down vote you in the name of all that is 'yay'. Plus that argument is extremely flimsy

Let's move along, nothing to see here. Just move along.

There has been a swarth of downvotes lately all registering -1 and -2. Many of these have been applied to posts that the dvoter has merely seen as uninteresting to them or opposing in viewpoint. (They're generally easy to spot because they continually upvote their own posts when downvoted not realizing that it's a complete waste of time).

You'll find that most of the people on here are extremely careful with downvotes and do it mostly just to clear an unwanted post into the deleted pile. I'm pretty amazed how many times upvotes get registered just to fix a bad downvote caused by "newbies." It's not a weapon.

I'm atheist, more for the fact that without religion, there is a lot less war,death and there'd be a much smaller percentage of 3rd world countries, I'm not against religion, but if you step back and look at the whole picture it all seems a lil silly to think one guy could make the universe...and if the bible is true, we're all inbred...not so great.

"i'm not religous, i'm christian"
the ignorance and arrogance is amusing if somewhat disturbing...and on a side note- Thomas Edison didn't even much more than a few items, The light bulb was made 30 years previous, but they hadn't figured how to get the filament to burn for more than a few hours-his lab figured out the right filament to have it burn brighter and last longer, most of his patents were inventions made by his lab assistants and he took credit for.(I'm not looking to start arguments, just making a comment on my opinion of him...)

Isn't it somewhere in the bible, oh, I don't know....something about "thou shalt not judge?" Why are you worried about it? If you believe that they are going to go to hell, then that is your belief. I don't see them jumping on here and calling you a fool for believing in an unseen, unproven deity.
BTW, I am Christian. I just don't like when people judge other people for their beliefs or non-beliefs. If you will.

I think people will be greedy, power hungry, and out to get others regardless of any religious affiliation. Plenty of wars may have been created by religious people but I bet it was their greed, not their religion, that spurred them forward.

While it's a good video, choosing so many celebrities as examples of those who have done good seems a bit goofed to me.

/wanders off to downvote all the "flimsy arguments" in this thread, just for kicks.

Stirrin' the pot....
lol

Perhaps. But if your contention is that believing "Magic Man did it" is a silly and arrogant one, you could just as easily argue that silliness (stupidity) and arrogance are to blame for the world's ills.

haha U is funnie!

ahem ... God is an Atheist ... it's only logical ... think about it ... seriously.

Yes, but if religion was not here, then it would be much harder for these people to get others to join their cause.

We don't need an actual God. We need only the idea of a god.
