I've no doubt they would've been using some portion of "we don't need no education / we don't need no thought control" to go along with whatever pro-Instagram visuals were being displayed. Implying Insta will help you free yourself or something. That song is a depressing examination of how the mid-20th century school system, and society in general, tended to destroy free thought and keep the poor docile and accepting of their lot. I don't see any positive way for a corporate behemoth bent on keeping you focused on tripe and bullshit to use that song.

If you know how to love, why do you need anything else? Put the world in the palm of your hand. Love is ALL you need. Free yourself.

@C-note

Do you only post racial videos which features injustice?
Because if you spend your life looking for something, that's all you'll ever see.

You need to broaden your prospects. I understand there are racial bias and prejudice people out there but you seem to hyper-focus on it. You invite your life to be surrounded by these bad energies.

I'd love to see you more positive. I don't know what wrongs this world has served you personally, or if you just surround yourself in these issues, but sometimes, the best way to free yourself from these issues is to not see them in everything you see and do.

for with your monetary support there is no end to what we can achieve in this country

Why don't you quit your job then and free yourself?

Holly, what the...
Talk about using a book as an excuse to be an asshole and be proud of it!

This is one of man's undoings. To be consciously wrong and be able to shift blame onto something or someone else so as to falsely be free of any wrong-doing and free yourself of any guilt in order to perpetuate the hate and to bolster ones self up on a pedestal of righteousness.

I don't think you realize just how dangerously close you are to sounding EXACTLY like those you claim to hate.

Well, see that's where I disagree. While we agree that we don't like powermongers, I also believe that faith in general is a bad thing. Faith is belief without any evidence, and even in spite of evidence to the contrary.
I don't want Christianity eradicated just because of the zealots, it want it eradicated because both it's a vehicle for zealots (but then a lot of other things are too, politics, sports teams etc) and because it is intensely anti-scientific. Knowledge and reason is much better than faith in any context.
You can only lead the horse to water, you can't force it to drink (or so they say). I am trying very hard to lead people to the water and at least have them consider that drinking is good, but the final decision is up to them. If they apply their intellect and their reasoning to the problem, I have very much trouble seeing how they can come up with such a warped answer. So far, the only reason I can see for this is willful ignorance, denial, ignoring facts consciously or unconsciously or I dunno. Why do people believe in a God? Either they are stupid and cannot reason, or they choose not to.
When people see religion as more of a community than faith, then it's a much different animal - a community can exist just fine without a preacher, a faith or any of that stuff.
I think your final statement, voodoov, is horseshit. I want religion in general wiped from the face of the earth, but I am not oppressing anyone, I'm not trying to take power away from people, I am not withholding condoms in fucking africa because it's "immoral". You are a slave, and religion is the chains that bind you. Free yourself! We're only trying to help you make the key.

There is always going to be religion and group-think. There are going always be people who are less intelligent and less independently-minded. The only problem is when you've got someone who will manipulate those mindless masses for their own agenda. Let's be real. The power structure behind Christianity isn't actually interested in advancing faith...they want power...otherwise there wouldn't even be a power base in the first place and religion would be restricted to just the local churches.
There is nothing inherently wrong with religion and faith. You just gotta reign in their power base and influence to more tolerable levels. I do believe in freedom of religion even though I don't practice any myself. People should be free to believe whatever they want..just as long as those freedoms don't encroach on other people's freedoms.
Wanting Christianity eliminated because the zealots are guilty of oppressing people makes you no better than the oppressors

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Steve Jobs

comparing spousal abuse to belief in god.hmmmmmmmmm.
is this message in commercial format an attempt to reach out to religious people?
because if it is i am going to add this to the *fail channel.
that's like trying to give directions to a deaf person by using braille.this commercial/message was created for atheists or agnostics who are suspicious of religion and that makes the whole point of the video moot.the language and basic premise would be very clear to someone who is not religious and offensive to one who is.

yeah...that's how you want to start a dialogue,offend the person you are trying to reach.
that rates pretty high on the stupid meter.

"hey man.do you realize your god is vindictive,petty and a genocidal maniac and is based on superstition and mythology going all the way back to egypt,sumeria and the mesopotamia basin? and the bible itself is just a literary hybrid?an amalgamation of astrological and sacred geomantic parables held most dear by the "secret churches"?
you need to free yourself man from that superstitious mumbo jumbo.who cares if you have based your entire belief system on all that.you are wrong.i am right.here...watch this commercial".

uh............yeah.wars have been fought over less.good luck with that though.

Religions are stupid, a blight on the earth. Free yourself from stupidity and bathe in the light of knowledge.

Look, Aemaeth, Mormon hate is Mormon hate, whether it's against blacks, women, Native Americans, gay people or whomever they target next. It is a religion founded upon elitism, arrogance, intolerance and the delusions of a madman. You've been lied to. The quicker you free yourself from that nonsense the better off you will be.

[saving this comment in case it gets erased.]

Yes, by all means, run away. That is what Mormons do best when their faith is brought under any kind scrutiny. I'd run too if I had to defend your absurd belief system.

If I've offended you, then good, because that was the point. You should be pleased that these are only words and that I'm not lobbying the government to diminish your civil rights. Maybe the so called 'Prophets' running your church should pull their heads out of their asses and do the same.

If these anonymous words on the internet hurt your feelings, then try to imagine the suffering your cult has caused people whom God made gay.

If you'd like to have a real discussion, I'm here for you, but I'm not holding my breath.

PS: Believing in magic underwear and golden tablets doesn't make you open minded, it just means you are gullible.

That's amazingly narrow-minded statement. I'd rather not discuss this further now that I see who I'm talking to.

So that makes any video about Mormons instantly about Prop 8 and NOM? I think you're falling under the fallacy of Ad Hominem Tu Quoque because you're trying to associate any video that tries to cast a negative light on Mormons as casting a negative light on NOM and Prop 8.

So, is there a new channel name to handle the description by HaricotVert?
