Who's that pale-skinned [profane bigotry deleted] in the video with the curly hair? Look, far be it for me to criticize your video setup and whatnot, but it's difficult to take you seriously within such a setting. I urge you to avoid washing out the image; sure, it may help hide your identity, but by the same token, it makes you look like a spineless coward. Those meagre concerns aside, I barely made it fifty seconds into the video, at which point I abruptly hammered my mouse (which was conveniently placed over the "X" symbol on my browser, as a precaution). Each of your arguments sucked worse than the last. Look man, I certainly don't want to discourage you from pursuing future endeavors akin to the video you just made, but this attempt simply fell flat, and that's all there is to it. Oh, and don't get mad at me because I didn't applaud your efforts or acknowledge your rationale (in the video): you asked theists to enlighten you on "how you did", and I'm delivering to you the unsatisfied reception.
By the way: the eerie Dracula music playing in the background was both dreadful and distracting. Avoid the "Halloween" environment for upcoming videos.
All the best,
Kadark the Infallible
Hello Kadark,
I'm not sure anything that you said could possibly be considered constructive, or even valid, criticisms. You criticize the artistic style in the video and irrationally imagine that I must be doing this to hide my identity. If I wanted to hide my identity, I probably wouldn't post a video of myself on a very public forum. If you were slightly less hasty in your zealous conclusions and delusions of grandeur, then you would notice that this comes from a youtube channel wherein I feature
several videos of myself, unaltered. 20 to be exact (this number is subject to increase). If you'd like to see them, they are freely displayed for you to view. Where exactly is this spineless cowardliness that you see again?
You also might have noticed that these arguments are not my own. This was in a response to a challenge to best represent the "other side of the debate," that other side for me being the theist's position. What makes this significant is that I am an atheist. The point was not to present to you a convincing argument for theism, which obviously flew over your head, but instead to encapsulate the most common argumentative attitude endorsed by them. In doing so, my hope was to show that there are potential middle grounds--perhaps higher grounds--on which theists and atheists can operate, leaving behind the over-baked and trite debates that unfortunately permeate bright minds that could be accomplishing more on more edifying subjects. You obviously missed that too.
But regardless of that, you say that you exited the page after 50 seconds. At this point in the video,
only one argument is given, which is that God does not belong under the scrutinizing lenses of science and philosophy. How then is it that you feel not only well-informed enough, but downright justified in dismissing each of the subsequent arguments (which according to your own admission, you didn't see) as "worst than the last"? This doesn't make sense, does it?
Finally, that you only could grossly misinterpret prestigious and acclaimed Medieval music--and some of the most influential at that--as Halloween and Dracula-like is a further indication that your opinions (which after all are pure aesthetic preferences which have nothing at all to do with more important elements of this presentation, like how this video stands in relation to the common statures of theists and atheists of the day) are of incipient taste at best.
"...the Infallible"?? Oh goodness, you
do have something to contribute after all; sheer unabashed humor.
