Topic: Life
Recently, on YouTube, a user by the name of TheStallion76 (an atheist) posted a video challenging Pagans to answer 20 questions which he had listed in the description box of the same video.
Unfortunately, his channel has been suspended by YouTube and his video subsquently removed, so I can no longer attach my response video to his.
If you don't "tube", you are probably unaware of the votebotting and false flagging campaigns that are plaguing the YouTube service.
Four users have had their channels/accounts unfairly suspended in the past week alone; Tsumetashi22, Coughlan666, TheStallion76 and dprjones. All atheists.
Presumably these votebot and false flagging attacks are coming from a very select group of fundamentalist Christian creationists.
It's monumentally frustrating and saddening to me that these types of "I'm right!" minded individuals are so successful in censoring the opinions of those that disagree with their particular point of view. So much so that I have created two subsequent channels on competing video websites; Ning and FilmRookie, and I will include the links to my channels on these sites at the bottom of this blog if anyone is interested.
I haven't decided yet if I intend to deactivate my YouTube channels, but I will be sure to blog about my conclusion if indeed I come to one.
Anyway, on with the questions...
1. Why don't you push your religion like Christians and Muslims do? Such as: knock on doors, preach in a church, indoctrinate your children?
2. Why do you think Christians burned Pagan literature and murdered pagans throughout history?
3. Why do you think the men of the bible are considered heroes for murdering Pagans?
4. Is sex immoral, as well as homosexuality? Please explain why.
5. Why do you think Christians have a problem with alternative (oral/anal) sex?
6. Describe in detail what happens to us when we die.
7. Is it against the Pagan belief system to marry an atheist?
8. Can you think of one original unique thing Jesus said that wasn't already taught in the Pagan religion?
9. Why do you think Christians stole your holidays? example, Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc.
10. If you were hanging over a cliff, in your left hand, a Christan was dangling, in the right, an atheist, which would you let go in order to survive? If you don't choose to let go of one, you all fall. Explain why.
11. What are your views on abortion and capital punishment? and why?
12. Why does Christianity seem so similar to older pagan religions?
13. What is the difference between a pagan and a fluffy bunny?
14. How does one go about becoming a pagan?
15. Did you originally grow up in a christian home?
16. Describe the attributes of your god, or gods, if you have many.
17. If you had to choose a religion outside of paganism, which would it be, and why?
18. Would nature feel any remorse for your suffering and death?
19. What would it take to go against your own moral code?
20. Would you give up your entire belief system if in return, there was world peace?
So, Pagans, how would you answer?
Here is my video response that I made to TheStallion76's challenge:
