I was one of these people at one point..
What the christ
I didn't watch the entire video, but I was also like that in the past.
In the past, I was obsessed with religion; I was obsessed to a level where religion took over every part of my life and started to get in the way of everything.
I started questioning my religion beliefs when I graduated from school. It took me an entire year of thinking and questioning till I finally decided to abandon religion entirely.
I currently identify as an atheist, more specifically, an agnostic atheist.
So, I went from an extreme Christian to an agnostic atheist.
It is very ironic; I never in my life imagined that I'd become an atheist.
people who are this obsessed with religion are no better than crack addicts
there's a point where you're just so far into it where it warps your brain
alternatively same goes for people like TAA who are so obsessed with how atheist they are that they have conversations about how atheist they are with other atheists

like I think religion is cool and can improve someones life
but don't let it consume you
I'm personally very confused by this video :v: I'm skipping around and have no idea whats going on.

I feel that his entire goal is to find someone to hate on.
It's funny that TAA is exactly the kind of person he claims not to be.
I also think that he's a hypocrite; he often criticizes people that he doesn't agree with for their actions, but whenever someone he agrees with commits a similar action, he tried to justify it.

TAA is nothing but caustic and hateful. He's one of the reasons why I'd rather feign religious ideals than admit atheism.
Gay + Atheist + Leftist = bad combo around a lot of people.
these days though I just hold to "No opinion" responses and "yeah religions alright or stuff"

The reason I do this is because of TAA and people like him. I have been noticing recently that whenever you say that you're an "atheist", people assume that you're an anti-theist, as well, or that you behave in the same manner as TAA.
In every religion, even in atheism (the lack of a religion), there's this loud minority that ruins everything for everyone, and unfortunately, these kinds of people are usually the ones that get the most attention, in turn giving what they associate with a bad name. :(
The fact that he's a gay and leftist is not the problem; what is the problem, imo, is his horrible attitude.
I was once a pretty die hard Jehovah's Witness.
Now I'm a Democratic Party Agnostic Deist.

I was actually the only one among my family and friends who was crazy religious; most of my relatives and friends are very liberal. I don't know why I was so crazy religious.
I live in Jordan. Most Christians in the middle-east are very liberal and open-minded, so it's strange that I was such an extremist. I was not raised in an religiously-extreme household.
The majority of secularists in Arabian countries are actually Christians.
So...
Do JWs really believe that non-believers are gonna come at them in riot suits during the apocalypse???
What's the great tribulation they keep talking about? The apocalypse?
[QUOTE=Dantz Bolrew;50445257]What's the great tribulation they keep talking about? The apocalypse?[/QUOTE]
Pretty much; it is present in most Christian denominations, tough there is different names for it and views for how it will occur

jehovah's witnesses believe in the concept of armageddon, where jesus will come down with an army and have a fight with satan and demons or something, then after that's all said and done all the jehovah's witnesses who have ever died will resurrect and be able to live on earth which will be rebuilt as a paradise like the garden of eden was
