Part 1: youtu.be/i9V7xMdgIQk
For the first time in any of my videos I express my open opinions about religion, as well as use strong language, and I have the feeling this production may receive criticism for it. However, I feel there are appropriate times and places to use expletives, and considering this is a video about what makes me angry, what better a setting?
Keep in mind this video is about "What Really Grinds My Gears" and is therefore based on MY opinions. In the "Discovering Religion" series I typically remain as objective as possible, only discussing passages from the Bible and their implications, or historical and scientific facts. But this video is just for fun and being able to share my unadulterated opinions on religion is actually a nice change of pace.
Although the topics I discuss don't actually make me that mad, there are a few important issues that I want to raise with regard to how people use the comment section of my videos. I also want to bring greater awareness to the trend I've noticed in people's lack of grammar and spelling correction, to display the hypocrisy of celebrities that thank God during award shows, and to provide my reasoning behind titling the series, "Discovering Religion".
Finally, I end the video by analyzing the obvious falsehoods in the theistic claim that humans have a soul and we will experience an afterlife. I feel I make some pretty good arguments, so I hope you can sit through the long runtime. I figure since I am unable to release many videos on a regular basis, when I do produce a video I am not going to worry about its length. I guess you could say this is the "directors cut", haha.
By the way, I just found out that YouTube has revoked my privilege of posting videos longer than 15 minutes on both this account as well as DRCited. Therefore, I am back to producing multiple parts. Thanks a lot YouTube, good to see you are STILL finding new and interesting ways to fuck over your loyal users.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this production. Like I said, it is much different than any of the videos in my series or supplemental section. When I sat down to write this video I just followed my train of thought wherever it led, and I feel I went on some interesting tangents.
As a side, this is the first time I have been tagged to make a video, thanks to FishHeadSalad (check out the link to his video below). However, most of people with whom I regularly correspond on youtube have already made a "WRGMG" video, so I figured I would just tag all my subscribers. :) Although I don't expect to get a lot of video responses, if anyone would like to share what gets you pissed off at religion, or even atheism, I'd love to hear what you have to say!
