The most random thread ever!!!

Then I am very sorry, James.  I thought both were funny and made some good points that we all could laugh at, but apparently not.

If you want, I'll remove the offensive video from my post.

I think it's probably not an offense to post a disagreement with a mod, so...

Personally, I disagree that there have been fights on this subject. Perhaps I have lower standards as to what constitutes a fight, but I honestly do not believe that the line has been crossed yet. I personally don't recall a time I have felt significantly offended by any post on this forum as I've largely been desensitized to things of religious nature (particularly comments pertaining to sexuality). Maybe others disagree, I don't know, but personally I feel as if the times that discussion of this have been banned were uncalled for.

I have not been offended at this video either, he's a funny guy in his own right, just not my cup of tea. Me sharing my thoughts on "atheist churches" (which, as I suspected, seem to be named as a slight mockery) was not me being offended in any way.

To take the video down, I think, would be tantamount to taking someone's side in a fight that hasn't even begun. I say leave it up.

I think I can speak for all of us when I say that it's hard to tell when you are joking, being serious, or are offended. *Shrugs.*

   I've never heard of an atheist church before, although I do sometimes go to a Unitarian Universalist church. It's cool, there's a sense of community like you would expect from a church, but it's very inclusive- nobody there cares what you believe as long as you're not militant or rude about it. I like it.

   I thought the video was legitimately funny, that guy is witty. A bit condescending at a few points, but meh, whatever.

Is it a Tim Hawkins video?

[Jukka the Sling]

Yes.

It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.

[Vilu Daskar]

Yes.

I thought so.

[LT Sandpaw]

Yes.

I thought so.

Did the Tim Hawkins in the title give it away?

[Vilu Daskar]

No the video isn't showing up for me. I read it was a video and they were talking about atheist churches and I remembered watching a Tim Hawkins video where he talked about atheist mega churches.

[LT Sandpaw]

Ah that's right.

BTW Why can't you see the videos? Are they being blocked, or is it the device you're using?

[The Skarzs]

Sounds like an internet filter. The computer I used to use was notorious for that. (Couldn't see anything.)

[Vilu Daskar]

Yes, it's an internet filter.

I love his song of that as well.

If you want to be a man,
Who wants to live a long and happy life,
These are the things you don't say to your wife.
