Why is posting videos to purposefully start an argument not bannable?

Sure is.
He also has about an hour and a half of videos on the 10 commandments.

Along with his video on how Christians are apparently widely persecuted, I think we can easily write this guy off as just another conservative christian rag.
Okay, he can be nuts, but is what he said in just the above video wrong? GMOs can be great and chlorine is good too. Also the comment about any organization can be corrupted no matter the initial goal, how is that dumb?

Christians [B]ARE[/B] persecuted. Just not in areas where they are in the majority. Take a look at the middle east instead of America.

They're far from the most persecuted religion (or as he says, "Minority") like his video is titled. Everyone faces persecution in some area of the world.

Sure as hell not THE MOST persecuted minority.

Anyway, I wish posting videos from that channel was bannable. The bias is so thick you can cut it.

I can only imagine jews would be persecuted more than christians, but what do I know. I have not seen the video, nor do I have any data regarding what minority would be the most persecuted one. Disregarding the fact that persecution is occurring is very dismissive of the victims however.

I edited my post because yeah, I shouldn't say Christians aren't persecuted period. But they're definitely not the most persecuted in the world.

Christians are decapitated and mutilated with machetes all over africa and are stoned in the middle east, jews have about 2 +/- 1 nuclear weapons programs dedicated to destroying them all at once.
It's a matter of how personal you like your violence.
But Christians are [I]right[/I] and everyone else is [I]wrong[/I] and we don't get to make the laws in every single country so that makes Christians the most persecuted
this is what I got by searching "gay"

He sure likes subtly hating the lgbt community I guess.

I bet he's the kind of guy who thinks uranium/nuclear energy is a communist conspiracy to pollute the atmosphere with radiation.

Conservatives mostly can't just come out and say "Gays are ruining America" without ruining their reputation, so they have to be more subtle now.
As a christian, I'm disgusted by how not-christian this guy is

Dont we want controversial topics to spark discussion? even if one side is stupid and gets stomped in an argument right after. waiting on someone to try that for this video btw.

Dude, I'm a gay conservative and not all of them are racist, homophobic, fear mongering, gun-toting asshats that liberals make them out to be.

None of those are a worthy topic for a discussion, though? All of them are arguments that are only based on facts that they like. Also, bias.

There's a difference between a controversial argument and biased internet videos. There's no grounds to argue with a youtube video except the comments that nobody reads, either.

I'm a Texan, and [I]boy,[/I] they sure can be.
Patrick Moore is fascinating character. How you go from being part of Geenpeace to thinking that a.) Global warming doesn't exist and b.) That it is safe for people to drink weed killer - what a crazy switch.

You know that aside from the middle east Africa is predominantly christian right? Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the strongholds of modern Catholicism, and aside from in places like Somalia where boko haram still reigns nobody's getting executed for being christian (and Bokoharam is just using anything they can as an excuse to cause more mayhem).
