At first this challenge appeared a bit childish, however, gaining public recognition and pointing out flaws and demerits in the Christian church (as the church constantly attempts to do) can only be a good thing.

Finally someone had the balls to start the motion rolling. The cult of Christianity needs to be questioned.
Where have you been for the last 2000 years. The "cult" of Christianity is questioned (maligned, slandered, deliberately mis-interpreted--and that is just by the "Christians") on an hourly basis.

It's still around.

It outlasted Voltair.

It outlasted Nietzsche.

It outlasted John Lennon.

Pretty sure it will outlast us.

I agree wholeheartedly with the fact that it is questioned regularly, however using a relatively new medium such as this (youtube) and focusing on the root of the brainwashing (children) is an interesting idea.

Christianity garners support by feeding the children of believers it's doctrine at an age when they won't argue. The church also insists there should be no sex before marriage, and that divorce and infidelity is a sin, ensuring that believers stay married in order to have sexual relations. This causes many offspring, brought up with Christian beliefs.

I have nothing against anyone having beliefs in anything they wish, I would be a hypocrite otherwise, however, i find it immoral to f...

Without this, the religions would hardly survive. Most of today's faithful Christians would have been faithful Muslims if they had been raised in a Muslim country - and vice versa.

The main principle of "procreating believers" is not much different than familiar "urban legend" scheme:

"Why do you believe?"

"A friend of a friend of my cousin had heard this from a friend of a friend who in turn heard this from a friend...."

Or,

"Because, The Scriptures say so."

Fine. Very reliable, solid and powerful evidence.

The religions have survived, because about the 90 percent of human populati...

As for not being able to understand the bible, I beg to differ.

It is a book where the almighty invisible man kills 70,000 innocent people because one of his creations (all part of His plan) ordered a census of the people. But remember he loves everybody.

If I was to massacre 70,000 people for something so trite, I'm pretty sure I'd be considered "evil".

Oh yeah, and in Judges 21, god orders virgin girls to be forcibly raped and married!

Sounds like he loves all of his creations eh.

And excuse the tone of that, it came out differently to how it was intended.
