I'm still deciding what I think about it.

I feel that he sort of rambles a bit, I haven't seen his videos in ages, but he does raise a good point about being afraid of offending others. I've recently come to realise that if I give my position calmly and rationally and they still get offended, then it's their fault, not mine.

He's right and also wrong. I for one don't feel compelled to attack religion at every turn, because I have other issues to deal with in my life. Yes, apathy is bad. But for him to paint with a broad brush a large segment of the atheist population is just as judgmental and guilt driven as religion. More than any other group, atheists are individualists. This because each of us came to atheism in different ways and live in different circumstances. He can make all the statements he wants, but nothing will change my way of dealing with life issues.

About a minute in I automatically dislike this prick. Fuck him. He's basically saying he's a superior atheist because he picks fights. That's as far as I got.  He put me off immediately.   :Hangman:
