They are brothers, but not twins. There's a 3 year age difference between them. >> ^Boise_Lib:

Wait, isn't this the older of the two brothers that make youtube videos to each other?
I think the other ones name is hank.


No, this isn't John Green of vlogbrothers - the puff levels are far too low.
Clicking through to youtube the "more info" suggests this is Byron Brown.

I saw John Green at an ALAN convention just two weeks ago. He seemed like a very likable guy and chatted up the audience about how easy it is to get started and how amazing the community is that follows his videos.

I'd love to say that I met him and got to chat; but when I happened past him in front of the hotel, he was talking to some gorgeous blonde about history/politics and I thought "Who am I to interrupt a historic pickup line?"

People who look through a religious lens will come up with different answers than people who look though a secular lens. The lens is just as important as the question. Innate meaning is also very different from man made meaning and will lead to completely different answers to these questions. I really don't understand why some people don't think being religious makes a difference in their world view.


Agreed, and there are plenty of specific examples of why this is important (e.g. pedophilia and religious crusades/war).

I absolutely agree that theists and atheists (or religious and secularists?) will come up with different answers and that the lens through which we see the world is incredibly important, but I love his premise that we are all functionally nihilists and that, when we manage to pull ourselves out of our nihilistic quagmire, we all want to make a mark on the world.

As long as we are only asking "what are we going to do with our consciousness", our stance on the existence of a god is purely academic.

It's both unfortunate and fortunate that people don't stop there...

Read the comment above yours .>> ^JesseoftheNorth:

Very well put, sir. But um.. who's Hank?

John Green is a Printz award winning author of young adult fiction and, along with his brother Hank, one of the vlogbrothers (one of YouTubes most subscribed channels). The vlogbrothers head a group who call themselves the Nerdfighters who's purpose is to decrease "world suck".

You can watch about 3 years of their videos at the vlogbrothers channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers
