The Truth about Atheism
This is a very ugly misconception that you seem to have. Except for several very vocal celebrities, Atheists aren't "against" religion... there certainly isn't some central creed or governing body telling us what to organize against.
What Atheists are against, in the western world, is having our government (and hence our lives) tainted by beliefs that we don't hold. In Muslim countries, there are harsh penalties (up to Death) for blasphemy... so you won't find many people speaking up. In the US, Muslims and Hindus aren't making laws to persecute us, hence why you don't hear us complaining about them.
There's no crusade to remove Religion... There's no attempt to persecute Christians, we just want the ability to go about our heathen lives in peace.
Here is a bunch of atheists who disagree with you: http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism
This is probably because the content in the video was a pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-philosophical sermon that made such astronomical leaps that it didn't need to be said.
Pretty harsh point for the people who enjoyed it. If that's true then make your case against it, since you have understood it so well as to completely dismiss it.
There wasn't an argument made for this. For some reason, you seem to believe that "the things we do in life have no meaning after we die" turns people into sociopaths... And since we're not all sociopaths, that proves that God exists. The first issue is that you assume that 'meaninglessness' leads to sociopathic behavior. Secondly, this is a textbook example of Denying the Antecedant fallacy.
Show me where anyone said this, or even implied it.
--Skipping the story--
Is this really your argument? 80% of the people you meet were raised Christian (even most of the Atheists)... This is confirmation bias... You can't say something is put there by God when Religion was preaching to them on a weekly basis. If there really were some sort of imperative planted by God... wouldn't there be far less religious wars?
Breaking news... people really do spend their entire lives 'waxing philosophically'... People do die for things that their religion has told them was wrong, but they felt was right (Anti-Gay Violence?).
That's what is called sitting in Gods lap to slap His face, or borrowing from my worldview to establish yours, and this really isn't an argument in your favor. Also, as far as sin goes, do you understand Christian theology?
This is news to me... I believe Mormons teach this, but all other denominations preach that when you accept the Holy Spirit, it moves you to do good deeds... that the good deeds aren't your own.
Revelation 22:12
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
You seem to be deliberately misunderstanding me here. I was very specifically using the definition of 'meaningless' that the speaker above uses... as in, 'meaning nothing after you die'.
But that isn't the definition he used. He applied it to past present and future.
My point exactly. The only thing that matters is that you've accepted Jesus as your Savior. NOTHING else matters... hence it is meaningless.
Where do you get the hence from? Meaning is meaning. Even if there was only one meaningful act you could ever do, it would still be meaningful. However, in the context of God, everything takes on its true meaning, attaining the purpose it was created for.
You completely ignored my point here. Except for the Mennonites, there are no other denominations (in the US) that take a hard stance against violence. None. Zero. This country is 80% Christian, and yet we've been at war for 209 of 235 years of our existence.
No ignored my point that religions don't matter, because the true church is the body of Christ. You want to blame an institution, and that's fine, but that isn't what the church is.
Let me be very clear on this: ALL CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS IN THE US ARE FALSE purely based on this one single fact (again, excluding Mennonites)... Granted, that doesn't prove that God doesn't exist... but it certainly does mean that I can't trust any US-based Christians...
I believe all denominations are false because they bring separation to the body of Christ.
What have you done to end discrimination (of ALL types)? Have you participated in any protests against wars, for Gay Marriage, for Women's Rights? Have you stood up in Church to let everyone know that you think it's wrong to discriminate against others, regardless of what they've done?
I'm against discrimination, flat out, and I would say something if I see it. I don't go to protests, no. I use my time to help people in many other ways.
I'd recommend reading up on philosophy, logical debate, and comparative religion... and finding a denomination that is above reproach. The reason Atheists always seem to have the same 'tired' arguments all the time is because we don't need to have new ones... the old arguments still come out in our favor.
I'd recommend the same to you, and the old arguments obviously are not coming out in your favor since atheism is in decline
http://www.sneps.net/RD/uploads/1-Shall%20the%20Religious%20Inherit%20the%20Earth.pdf
This is the point where most Atheists become seriously pissed... Simply stating that someone is wrong because they don't believe what you believe is not the way to have a discussion. Especially when what you believe isn't widely believed by your own fellow Christians. LCMS, Presbyterians and Seventh-Day Adventists are the only denominations that officially preach Young-Earth Creationism...
The whole point is, if it is an old earth, it doesn't make sense that Jesus would come after 198000 years of struggle. That doesn't really prove anything, but the entire point is invalidated if it is a young Earth. Do you see what I am saying? I didn't say he was wrong, I just said what I believe.

Well, those might seem to be good reasons, but in the end, atheists are supposed to be against religion.

Assassin's Creed III: Gameplay footage premiere
I'm digging the setting -- the American Revolution is pretty uncommon as a setting for these sorts of things.
It's unfortunate (but not surprising) that it's Ubisoft. I'm sure they'll once again find a way to destroy the PC version and then blame poor sales on their customers. Case in point:
From Bethesda and Arkane Studios: Dishonored
For anyone who loved Assassins Creed but thought it wasn't anachronistic enough.

Ya know what I see being cool with this. Video Games that you play in the real world. You can have augmented reality created by people, certain things you can do within their world they created in a city or part of a city or even in a field somewhere. It could be as simple as a ball program that try to work around the city to score a goal or something. I don't know there just seems like a ton of possibilities and I think it would be really cool. This is the first thing I've seen in my lifetime that has the chance of being something seriously science fictiony that I'd actually want.
Heh, think of a version of Assassins Creed multiplayer with these glasses.
I can see lots of people with shattered kneecaps screaming in pain surrounding 2-3 story buildings they thought they could jump off of easily.
Or, you know, I more meant the compass marker towards your target, all the while someone else has you as a target.

"There goes Altair, being chased yet again by Italy's finest."
Ahem, Altair was in Jerusalem, Damascus, and Acre. Ezio was in Italy.
True, but some of the guards he was fighting in Jerusalem, Damascus, and Acre were Crusaders. In addition to German, French, and English soldiers, this included some Italians. HA!

Indeed you are correct sir. It took me a few minutes to figure out what was wrong- that I was approaching the thing backwards. Your video has already been duped a second time as well.
