How do they take our money? Half the people who work for Walmart qualify for food stamps, even though they make so much money they could easily pay living wages, give benefits and still make a profit. This happens at big companies all across the country. That's how they take our money. But you, as a Christian, don't give a crap about those employees, they just better get another job and work 80 hours a week, so they don't have to get food stamps, just so the rich people running these companies and the shareholders can continue to reap in the huge amounts of money. Who cares Jesus commanded you to help the poor, and that the rich were going to hell, in modern Christian culture it is the rich who are blessed, and the poor who need to be vilified.

I'd wager most of us are working, probably 40 hours or more. Used to be that one person in the family working 40 hours a week was enough. Now that isn't enough in most cases. That money moved to the top. We have one of the largest and fastest growing wealth and income gaps in the world, and in history. Real world income isn't staying with inflation, but that 1% that modern Christians love so much, is staying so far ahead of the curve.

And as to, "they like making $8 an hour" bull fucking shit. While I'm making well more than that, I know that isn't true. They got the best job they can get. It's not that people aren't applying for the jobs that are out there, the employers aren't hiring the people applying. Perhaps that person making $8 an hour doesn't have a college degree, and can't afford to go to college. I have a worthless bachelor's degree in "programming and applications" which basically means I know how to use Word, which I knew before I had it (I could have taught even the programming classes for all the further we got into the programming). That degree cost me near $25k, and who knows how much it'll cost by the time I'm done paying it off with all the interest on it. Back on point, those people can apply to a ton of jobs, but unless they are qualified they won't get it, and even among those they do qualify for, there are a ton of applicants for each job out there. Nobody is working Walmart, McDonald's, Lowes or whatever because it's their dream job. It's the job they can get.

Why should you make a living off 40 hours a week, but they should have to work 80? Why the double standard? Why say let the rich owners and shareholders take that income that used to go to the workers and just say f the employees, so long as I make a living at 40, those people better just work longer. This is why I HATE Christianity because every person who thinks that is a Christian. Every person who thinks that LGBTQIA+ people shouldn't have equal rights under the law is a Christian. Every person who was shouting "let him die" at the Republican debate in '08 in regards to a guy without insurance, was a pro-life Christian. Every person who cheered at the idea of carpet bombing at the 16' debates were pro-life Christians. It's why, in the unlikely event it is real, I'd rather burn in hell than be around those people for all eternity. I've never met a good right-wing Christian. Never. They are all evil vile people who are full of greed and have zero of the love of Christ. Their witness is a shining example of how evil and vile Christianity is.

I'm surprised that fat tub of lard Trump, who dictated his son's letter, who dictated his Doctor's letter, can swing a golf club as often as he does... a guy who bitched and moaned about how often Obama golfed, and who's own golfing and vacation time has far outdone Obama's golfing and vacation time.

We got a President, flagrantly breaking the emoluments clause, and nobody seems to give a rats ass (save a few on the further end of the left, certainly the mainstream media, which Fox and the right accuse of being far left, doesn't care, nor do even moderate Democrats).

I know you don't believe he, or Fox and the like are the ones doing the lies and deceit... and nobody will ever convince you otherwise. I know, because I too once was a far-right Christian, who only trusted Fox, and thought the science of climate change was a joke, as was evolution and the big bang (though I was an old earth creationist, I could never get into the 6,000-10,000-year-old argument)... then I learned to actually vet my news and information. I have no doubt that most of my anger at the right is the fact I was so easily deceived for over 30, nearly 40 years of my life. Hopefully, in the highly unlikely event that others on the right learn that they are the ones who've been lied to, that they are the ones more guilty of spreading falsehoods, deceit, greed, and setting a horribly bad witness for their faith that does far more harm than good, they don't get as angry as I did and leave the faith all together and then hate all of what they once were a part of.

Behold, an honest sifter!

Yes, there are "vile people out there", Rick, and you're one of their representatives. Hence "santorum".

Not more than a year and a half ago, the flavor-of-the-week issue on several blogs and sites such as this one, where the majority of people believe the promulgated clap-trap they feel is pertinent to survival of the species, was so-called global warming due primarily to human influence. The effectiveness of the propaganda arm of the control entities on the planet should have been glaringly evident to reasonable people with a modicum of intelligence; a majority of them believed the hype and some still do.

This event in Pittsburgh a few days ago, accomplished one very important task; the staging of a consolidated and successful event designed to examine the effectiveness of military action against large urban areas in the United States. Compared to the April 2000 G7 events in Seattle, it would appear again to any reasonable person who fancies themselves wise or educated, that the enforcement arm of these "leaders" of the contrived machine called the economic system, have fortified and refined their "crowd control" tactics.

Why and how are they able to do this? Simple. People who fancy themselves intelligent and educated are, in actuality, gullible sub-intellects who have been systematically reeducated to believe that there is a way within this contrived mechanism to affect change for the health, welfare, and natural continuation of of society along a reasonable and universally benevolent path. The system is not for the common man. It is for a few common men, and their families, and their personal interests.The G20 represents a schism that infects the planet, and has time and again, this time on a much grander scale.

When strangers inform on strangers-when family informs on family-when reports of abuse of the slightest of violations of statutes of local laws out of one's own self-importance and "duty", clog the defective systems of enforcement-when those paid to enforce these laws turn on the very people they are employed to protect??? What is around the corner is an abrupt, violent restructuring of the entire system.

All we can hope for in societies of thoughtful people concerned for the well-being of the entire planet from this point forward, is that those compelled to act as the enforcement arm of these vile people who make all the money and hoard all the real wealth and truth on the planet, will refuse to follow their orders.

interesting they bash G.I. Joe, the movie. They should also bash Tom Clancy (who is American), for his book 'Rainbow Six'. If that were made in to a movie, it would be able international counter terrorist team taking down some really vile people. G.I. Joe from the 80's minus the warped vechiles, is essentially, Rainbow Six.

I think both tgeffeney and Slyrr are missing the point made by this video. The video never once sugggests that there aren't wonderful contributors to humanity who have also been religious, nor is it arguing for the abolishment of religion. So tgeffeney's counter-list irrelevant to the argument, as is Slyrr's statement that atheists want to abolish religion. All the video is trying to do is argue against the perception that atheism as a general belief system is analogous with an absence of intelligence or morals.

While some of the author's choices of shining examples of atheism are a bit on the weak side (I agree with termal, using almost all entertainers as representative of "good" atheists is a bit odd), I still feel it makes its point - there are good atheists and bad atheists, just as there are good Christians and bad Christians. The statistics provided do suggest that the moral differences between believers and atheists tend to swing in the opposite direction than the Christian bible would suggest.

I believe that people should not be judged on one single aspect of their beliefs, but rather on their overall character and their actions towards themselves and others. The difference is, atheism does not have at its core a supposedly inerrant book of rules that paints Christians and other religious followers as "fools" or "vile people who do no good". Atheists who act that way do so out of stupidity and by personal choice, not because it's a requirement of their continued membership.

Nice video, though I'm not sure why so many actors and artists were listed after the "vile people who do no good" bit. Nothing wrong with acting, but they're not exactly saving the world through it (although some of the entertainers listed are in fact pretty active in charities, but the video doesn't mention that). The first half was a lot stronger.
