:cry: It's so true... I was kicked out of the BSA. <sniffle> .... No atheist can hold office in TN? .... I think I just lost the backing of the TN Democrats....
The video was top-notch, by the way! The quality of it amazed me. I think I'll be sending the link to everyone I know (Atheist or otherwise!).
P.S.- Do you have a lot of these videos scattered around the site?

(blush) Thanks for the praise guys!
This video is the one I'm most proud of too. I would rather promote atheism/skepticism than just rip on religions. I still had a couple of digs against religions in the video... but I tried to keep it on how religions have adversely affected me as a non-believer.
The "Atheist on the Bible" ones I did were a learning experience for me, but my heart wasn't too much into the bible bashing after the first one. I still plan to do more in the series... but I doubt that the videos would help sway someone into rational thought.
I think Giivideo's are far more effective in pointing out the bible's problems (even if his quotes are sometimes taken out of context).

So far, the video has earned 4 honors on youtube! My other 2 videos have earned some in the past (and then lost most of them)... but 4 is a personal record for me!

It's a viral thing. The more the video spreads, the more honor it receives. The typical ways to earn "honors" include:
1. The more people who view the video
2. The more people comment on the video
3. The more people who rate the video
4. The more people who rate the video highly
5. The more it is "favorited" by people
6. The more people who link to it.

Let me know what you think!
crap video.
so who cares about the consitution? Not me. If this was another country, say, Iraq, maybe, or Iran, would you hold to their constitution?
Constitution means nothing, if it is wrong, ill-informed, and misleading.
A constitution of a country doesn't necessarily mean that it's right.
Many countries have many different 'constitutions'. None of them are right if they do not fall into line with the revealed word of God.

Does a constitution necessarily make a country's policies right? Absolutely not. But it is the guiding text of a nation. There are things in it I do not agree with just as apparently there are things that you do not agree with.... but in effect, what you just said is its okay for you to break our laws of men because you believe in a more divine law.
And yes, if I were in another country I would respect thier doctrines for that is how THEY wish for THIER country to opperate. I won't be the one to cock it up.
You have the right under OUR constitution to uphold those anarchist ideals, but don't for a second think that God gave you that right.

Yeah, the honors are frequently related to time... ex. "Most discussed today"; "Most linked this week"; etc.
I'm back up to 6 now.
What is REALLY cool is that the Atheist video by ZackieChan has won so many awards!
It currently has the following honors
#7 - Most Discussed (This Month)
#1 - Most Discussed (This Month) - Entertainment
#53 - Most Discussed (All Time)
#3 - Most Discussed (All Time) - Entertainment
#31 - Most Viewed (This Month) - Entertainment
#24 - Top Favorites (This Month)
#2 - Top Favorites (This Month) - Entertainment
#98 - Top Favorites (All Time) - Entertainment

Wow... "All time." Those sound hard to get. 
. Who know's, maybe you'll get some like that.
