The birth of baby Jesus is a magical story, but I don't believe in magic so I've crucified it instead.

If you can just look at the universe and 'know' that an intelligent designer made it, why not 'know' that more than one designer made it? There is no 'proof' for an intelligent design which precludes   more...the presence of several designers. The fact that only one designer is ever mentioned simply indicates the hidden agenda behind ID - it is Christian Creationism by another name.

If someone believes the universe is only 6000 years old, you'd better believe that you will NEVER get through to them, on any level. So don't bother. Just walk away.

Follow these easy steps and you'll be in a place other than where you thought you were going to be. On the other hand, all the people who believe in God will have exactly the same problems as you.

Before   more...you criticise the words 'how to prove there is no God', watch the video first to see what I actually say.

I was all primed and ready to do a video about evangelists calling themselves 'true Christians' (presumably all the others Christians are hell-bound scum), and then this dropped   more...into my lap. Not a gift from heaven, more like a turd from an evolving dinosaur - nutty and brown and a million years old.

Here's my angle on this. I kill two birds with one stone:

Violet Kitty's hypocritical attitude to the Capn's videos and attendant responses.

Violet Kitty's uncaring condemnation of her fellow Christians, who unfortunately aren't good enough and so are not 'true Christians', to the fiery furnace... and we're not talking Burger King here.

Just a little salute to Capn Awesome's great notice board - I wish I'd thought of it first, but I didn't so I'll just borrow the idea for one video only.

Don't forget, she's not bad, she's just deluded. I refer you to 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins.

Now repeat after me: peace on Violet Kitty!

How any Christian can believe that senseless condemnation of the lifestyle choices of gay people can somehow be 'softened' by empty, meaningless 'compassion' for the person himself is nonsense. Separating   more...homosexual acts from homosexual people, by professing to hate the sin but not the sinner, is BULLSHIT. It is hypocrisy of the very worst kind.

If you don't respect what the person is or does, you do not respect the person. If you hate what gay people do in the privacy of their own homes, you are a bigot and a homophobe. And if Christianity hates homosexuality, I should have no reservation in saying that I return the sentiment: I hate Christianity.

In the true spirit of Biblical teaching, we should all hate Christianity... but not the Christians. Have no respect AT ALL for their opinions, which condemn homosexuals AND homosexuality with their weasel words. Even if it IS a choice, who are Christians to say that it is wrong?

Note: this is a new video, not taken from my book 'The Atheists Are Revolting!'. However I do cover religious attitudes to homosexuality in the book.

To Christianity he is God. To Islam he is Allah. To both of these religions, God is all-loving, the father of mankind, the inspiration for good, for kindness and for peace. In reality, every year God   more...consciously and deliberately adds the population of a medium sized country to the fires of Hell, and tortures them for all eternity. All because they didn't believe in him. A story of natural justice this is not.

The source of all Fundamentalist Christian madness is the Biblical story of Noah and the Flood. The   more...final part gets right to the heart of the matter, the corruption of science by Fundamentalist Christians to try and justify a Bronze-Age myth in the face of overwhelming evidence. Here's the evidence, the science that is stacked up against the myth, and in the end there can only be one winner.

This section is almost entirely based on the following web page, which includes full citations and references to source material:

The source of all Fundamentalist Christian madness is the Biblical story of Noah and the Flood.

The source of all Fundamentalist Christian madness is the Biblical story of Noah and the Flood. This part only covers loading the animals onto the ark, and already   more...it's obvious what a ludicrous story this is turning out to be.

More parts will follow, in which I want to develop the idea that the Christian refusal to acknowledge evolution is entirely based on this story, and its equally barmy modern-day interpretations. All the geological evidence in the earth's strata is wiped away, and a fantasy is put in its place by fundamentalists who believe the Bible (and therefore Noah's Flood) is the inerrant word of God.

The length of this video reflects the number of ways there are that (a) Christians try to explain away the discrepancies in the evidence and (b) the number of ways it's possible to find holes in the Christian position. So if it's too long, blame Christian apologists!

Atheists need evidence, proof that something exists before they will believe in it. Meanwhile Christians say that their beliefs are strong because they rely on their   more...faith in God. They don't need proof? Really? Tell that to Jesus when (if) he ever comes back.

Christianity tells you that you are bad from birth, a sinner as soon as you pop out of the womb. Everything you do, you must take care not to sin. Even if your actions   more...don't hurt anybody. The concept of sin is just a system of guilt. Ignore it.

Don't quote the Bible out of context say Christians. I say: you do it all the time. What are you trying to hide?

Gaps in the fossil record. That's what Creationists use to disprove evolution. Where are the intermediate species? Where is the evidence of gradual change, the slow forming of arms or wings? Why don't   more...we have a complete fossil record?

This video touches on why fossils are so rare, and being so rare why you could never possibly have a complete fossil record. And even if you did, Creationists would use it to prove THEIR point.

Meanwhile, unicorns and dragons are found in the Bible. What arguments do Creationists use FOR them? Exactly the same ones they use AGAINST evolution.

Circular logic doesn't work. If the prophecies in the Bible are true then the prophecies in Harry Potter must also be true, simply because the later books 'proved' the prophecies were right.

Or in the   more...words of Stephen Colbert (Daily Show):

First off it's not my logic, Steve, it's God's logic, as written in the Bible, every word of which is true. And we know every word is true because the Bible says that the Bible is true and, if you remember from earlier in this sentence, every word of the Bible is true. Now are you following me here or are you some kind of mindless zealot?

If you've ever tried to explain to a Christian that you don't believe in God, and that atheism is not, in fact, denial of a God you know exists, but is actually an absence of any belief at all, you'll   more...know that it's as futile as trying to convince the sea that it should stop waving at you.

This video may help. This is what Christianity looks like to an atheist. Religion really does look this bad.
