YouTube Pulls Atheist Video After Making Front Page of Digg.com

Posted by blargfrit on January 6, 2009

This satirical infomercial, which had been on YouTube for months, was pulled by Youtube, who deemed it “inappropriate content,” only after it skyrocketed into the top three topics on digg.com and began accumulating tens of thousands of views. Upset by the censorship and implications, several youtube users have re-uploaded or ‘mirrored’ the video in protest. Watch it in full here:

    I thought that eternal hell fire came from the Hebrew word for Hell, which is Sheol. Sheol actually means, south. Since Judaism originated in the northern hemisphere, it grew hotter and hotter the further south they went. Hence Sheol is hot.

    Just my theory. And I'll readily admit to be talking out my butt on this one.

    I'm pretty much an agnostic, but I don't see the point of bashing religion that much. Sure, the devout ones with brainwashed children and believe in creationism are kinda annoying, but besides that, religion is fine with me.

    This is NOT an atheist video! It does not say anywhere that the makers don't believe in god. They simply don't believe in the one thing designed to separate man from god: religion. Religion tells you you can't communicate directly with god because you're not qualified…but if you pay an expert like a priest or mullah, then god will listen. I think religion is good! where would we be without the child molesting Catholics and baby killing Muslims? without religion eliminating over 100 million worthless lives in the last couple thousand years we would be facing over population like you wouldn't believe! hurray for religion!

    the only problem I see with your theory is that if you just ignore religious zealots, they take over and force you to convert to their religion or murder you! as a non believer I am not going to kill anyone for ignoring me so they have an inherent advantage.

    You obviously didn't read the bible. We were never animals. LMAO

    How sad that as a Christian, you didn't capitalize god. Moron.

    EVERYWHERE. What the hell are you defining as a “transitional fossil” that makes you reject every single existing one?
    I'm not even going into the fact that every fossil is, in a way, “transitional”, because every species is in a state of transition – some stay pretty much the same for long periods of time, because whatever they were doing works well enough for them, while some don't stay the same long enough to warrant a species designation.
    And biological evolution itself has nothing to do with the genesis of life. It merely describes the way a number of tiny changes build up over time into large changes, until the current creature is vastly different from its ancestor, and how diverging lines can create new species… or sometimes just dead ends.

    Are you serious? There are classes of animals called mammals we fall into that class. Look it up

    Buddhists have had wars for centuries. Go read some history. But, that's not what the video means when it says that they are all the same. It means that they are all the same in that certain things are believed in just because (i.e. faith).

    And Satanists are very mystical. They have magick rituals. Enough said. But, yes they are atheists in that they lack faith in a God.

    What is worse than all of the above is the fence sitting agnostic who thinks they are better than believers and non-believers when in fact they fall into the non-believer camp. Atheists don't claim that God exists. So, as long as you have no faith in God you are an atheist. You fail.

    And everybody is agnostic in the sense that nobody truly knows where God exists or not. There is no point boasting about it. It's just that some people claim to know he exists (i.e. believers).

    When religious people are in positions of legislative power they do affect me as they undoubtedly press their beliefs on me, my family and other like minded people. Abortion, Texas education materials, the pledge of allegiance was high-jacked in the 50's when congress added “under god,” stem cell research, anti-equality for same-sex marriage, and the list goes on… we are not worried about what they do behind closed doors but they always seem ready to encroach upon what we do behind ours as well as in public forum… people ignored the nazi's for quite a while too…”and then they came for me”… as much as the religious feel the need to proselytize to “enlighten” I too feel the need to share knowledge and awaken them from their slumber, free them of intolerance, and deliver them from ignorance if not only for their well-being, butmine and my children's as well.

    As I stated above to another… Please stop saying “It doesn’t affect you” when speaking about religious people… it does:
