Best Athiest Video Ever!

This is the best YouTube video I have ever seen on Atheism created by the FightingAtheist. This is a must-see for anyone who is truly trying to understand the mind of an Atheist.

As far as the afterlife, I can only say this, I sincerely hope there is life after death. I would love to see loved ones who have passed on. But honestly, I'd rather be expecting nothing and get something, than expecting something and get nothing.; January 28, 2009 at 9:50 PM

Mormon411 said...: I'm probably about as atheist as they come. I've got no reason to lie about it, why would I?

What makes you ask? I'm curious. Maybe that will help me better answer your question.; January 28, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Anonymous said...: Truly it is just a feeling that I have. Maybe part of it is because you seem to be trying to hard to convince others and really it might just be you that needs the convincing?; January 28, 2009 at 11:20 PM

As an atheist, let me just say this. Our goal is not to "convert" the masses (that is the Mormon's job).; June 19, 2009 at 3:50 PM
