There is a huge disconnect between the video and your questioning. I don't see how the "religious folks who post here" can even address this post without a "wtf?"

The post shows similar ignorance and stupidity as posts demanding answers from atheists after offering material about atrocities commited by Stalin. It is a non siquitur and a painfully dumb one.

What is the point of being a "free thinker" devoid of "religious shackles" if you are unable or unwilling to exercise your own noodle?

I think you've clumsily stated something Christopher Hitchens said. Manifestor_of_Light Apr 2013 #27

Why should there be or need to be something done by a Christian that could not be done Leontius Apr 2013 #29

Hitchens is showing how unnecessary religion is to good works. Manifestor_of_Light Apr 2013 #30
