		<description>They shouldn&#039;t have touted themselves as atheists. They should have preached the wondrous teachings of the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster!

All hail his noodly appendages!</description>

		<description>This was by far the best attempt at religous rebellion I have ever seen.  You guys that are griping about this not being the basis of aethism should go and suck a nut!  You should be more concerned about the labeling you choose as appropriate for yourselves.  We are &quot;Freethinkers!&quot; Not aethists.  Calling yourselves aethiest affirms an assumption that all people believe in god and we have to set ourselves apart as the ones who do not believe.  Instead of Thiests and Athiests, we should be using Freethinkers and Nonfreethinkers.  Let the believers have the negated word.  All people are born freethinkers, as we can attest to seeing a child as having a free mind and then being coerced by religous people into irrationality.  This video gives me hope that soon an antireligous revolution is coming.  This of course requires all of us to take a stand for our freethinking rights and move into the realm of the enemy so they know we are here and we refuse to take the oppression any longer.</description>

		<description>You can leave it but you can&#039;t leave it
alone. Loved the Story about the fellow
who had a wonderful Mormon lady neighbor. They must have something there.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve Been Reading Some Of The Comments, And Sadly Am Let Down. They Seem To Like To Miss The Whole Point Of The Video. It Was A Small Gag To Prove The Point Of How Annoying It Is To Have Someone Wake You Up, Or Bother You In The Morning To Push Their Thoughts On You. He Wasn&#039;t Getting The Whole Point Across Because He Wasn&#039;t TRYING To, He Was Trying To Give An Example. Like The Title Of The Video Is Named &quot;A Taste Of Their Own Medicine&quot; 
At A Further Note, He Isn&#039;t Being Disrespectful To Others Religious Callings, He Was Proving A Point.</description>

		<description>sorry if it&#039;s a repost,  stopped around #25)
ya know, I&#039;ve noticed a pattern about these things.  The first few posts (about 5-8) are generally overly-accepting and give an overwhelming approval rate.  However, people tend to &quot;come around&quot; after about 10 posts.  They start criticizing people for this stuff, and often for good reason.  However, I don&#039;t think the video should be criticized in and of itself- it marvelously captures the arrogance of many Jehovah&#039;s Witnesses (and indeed other sects of Xian faith).

The video is satire- nothing more.  The &quot;monkeys) comment and the others like it are meant to reflect on the numerous contradictions that these &quot;door-to-door- religion salesmen&quot; use on a regular basis.  Their quoting of pop music lyrics is a parody of door-to-door&#039;s use of a &quot;fairy tale book&quot; as &quot;proof&quot; that God exists.  

As for the asinine comments, well, that just goes to show you that on both the religious right and the freethinkers side of this debate, there are dumbasses that think a snide comment here or a paragraph of mockery there is funny to someone.  Myself, I pride myself in being tolerant of others, given 2 conditions:
You aren&#039;t pushing anything on me in a serious way, and
You aren&#039;t a jackass.</description>
