More like the traumatic experience of living with my NT mother. :lol:

Apparently her real daughter was psychic but we were switched at birth. *insert obligatory my mother also has lots of wonderful traits comment here*

That was cute.

My dad used to sing the first verse of this Bob Dylan song.

I like this guy's cover better than the original.

Seems designed more to provoke than to encourage dialogue. The point could have been made more diplomatically and succinctly.

Video people could have done a more tactful job, but I found it interesting about the 100 million Christians killed in communist countries in the last 100 years and that it's still going. Isn't that bad?

You are correct. Over the last 1700 years the Catholic Church has killed 5 million, in the last hundred years atheists have killed 100 million.

That is because of modern technology and greater numbers of people to kill. Also, atheist governments are more prominent in this day and age.

So more people are alive today then there were cumulatively throughout 2000 years?

I got through one minute of the video. The who point of a video should be images and audio not text. And the flashy pointless graphics made it hard to concentrate on the text.

Maybe. We've seen rapid population growth. But I'd say probably not.

But the earth has a greater living population than in say, the 19th century.

Sure it's bad.

However, the implicit point of that video is that Jesus of Nazareth must be God because some atheist leaders have killed more people than some Christian leaders. It's an argument made with extremely poor logical form, because--as well as being a form of ad hominem--it operates on the presumption that the number of people one murders is a valid measure of the level of truth contained in one's philosophical or religious beliefs.
