A brief anecdote concerning my encounter with the "Perfection of Yoga" and its author, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. I will not tolerate the minions of hypocritical demagogues like Prabhupada who one one hand reject the evils of commercialism, yet in another grab at the purse strings of people's gullible nature. A word of warning: Be prepared to be stung when someone hands you a "free" gift. A guilt-laden demand for money will almost always follow.

This is my hommage to that wonderful man, Kent Hovind, and to those enlightened scientists at Answers in Genesis who are constantly capable of rationalising nonsense and who never give up in their fight against reality, common sense and logic. (Parody)

This is simply my take on multiculturalism / pluralism. In the past decade, "multiculturalism" and "pluralism" have become a swear word on par with "liberal" in the 20th century. It is my firm belief that it has occured due to a deep misunderstanding as to the true nature of multiculturalism which is often seen as a political mechanism to the uniformalisation of various cultures into one gigantic überculture. This is not so. Multiculturalism is in my opinion the absolute opposite of standardization though unfortunately is quite often an indirect consequence of the exposure of several cultures to one another.

A short video on the subject of conspiracy theories and skepticism. When one knows nothing about one particular subject, the only rational stance is an open-minded and skeptical agnosticism. Following this, agnosticism becomes gnosticism and one is sufficiently armed to determine whether an idea has merit or if it's nothing more than a far-fetched "conspiracy theory".

This particular video attempts to tackle the difficult question of respect for beliefs (religious or other). Should we truly respect all beliefs or should we simply respect other people's rights to have certain beliefs?

Dispelling the myth that Christian was propagated through "word of mouth", I delve into the cycles of violence and persecution that characterizes almost all religious faiths throughout history. I then voice my concerns about the current religious trends of anti-secularism, anti-homosexuality and anti-democracy present in American Christian sects.

Secularism has in the past decade become a "dirty word" in modern politics. This is completely unfounded and dismissive of the real meaning of the word. This video is my personal attempt at a defence of secularism and of my fight to promote this Force for Good in the World today. Numerous misconceptions exist surrounding this issue and I hope that this video (and others which may follow) will put these to rest. To summarize my point, "If you do not support Secularism, how do you feel about the separation of Mosque and State?"

Religious charities? Christian Aid? Do people give to charities for the Right reasons? Or do they simply be seen to be doing the right thing? It's something that bothers me greatly, especially now that the word "Christian" is the new Coca-Cola. Would Christians give to Satan Aid or to Atheist Aid? Why not? If the name is not important then what's stopping them? The point here is of course that the word "Christian" shouldn't be present in the charity's name. It should simply be Aid or Human Aid. Throwing in the word Christian simply polarizes the issue. It makes Christians rally around this one cause because they are Christians. It alienates others and feeds the widely believed myth that atheists and other non-Christians are not generous and altruistic human beings. No more Christian Aid! We need Human Aid!!!

This is my response to comments by the wonderful Dudess4, who in turn commented on my video "VLog -- 14.04.07 -- The JW Aftermath". Written comments are of course great, but since I do have the facility for video editing and recording, I want to give a human face to what I'm trying to put across. I hope this does not bother you. Kind regards from the United Kingdom! ~Nils

How I became an atheist...

Part 5 of my series on Biblical errancy.

Just a short VLog to signal my return to the United Kingdom after a peaceful holiday. It is essential to respect each other's boundaries. Too often I find myself and my friends assailled by boistrous and downright rude proselitizing individuals who invade our lives with hateful or insulting messages. I am tired of people bombarding my friends with scriptural faeces and Hellfire'n'Damnation threats. Let us keep our distances and remain civilized. If people wish to engage in conversation, so be it, that's a wonderful thing. Let's by all means do this. But if all people wish to do is send hatefilled and patronizing emails, that is not acceptable. Naturally, this applies to everyone, theist and atheist alike. In fact, it applies to all registers of conversation. It's common sense and common courtesy: If you don't want people to shit on your lawn, don't shit on theirs.

Part 4 of my series on Biblical errancy.

"Having fun with the Bible" will hopefully be something that I can keep up for a while. There are so many aberrations in the Bible that it's hard not to see the funny side of things. In this episode we look at the floodwaters.

Part 3 of my series on Biblical errancy.

"Having fun with the Bible" will hopefully be something that I can keep up for a while. There are so many aberrations in the Bible that it's hard not to see the funny side of things. In this episode we look at the workload thrown into Noah's inbox after he flooded the planet. Errata: I may have inadvertently punched in 78 instead of 68 (kilometers per day) whilst calculating distances. If this is the case, travel times will have increased drastically. Nevertheless, this error does not really affect this video.

This is my response to a video by HealthyAddict. It's just a little ray of sunshine to all those in the United States who have to suffer under an unconstitutional currency.

Part 2 of my series on Biblical errancy.

Before launching into a series of more in depth video blogs on the subject of biblical inerrancy, I wanted to firstly define what biblical inerrancy implied, as well as touch on the subject of translations and the nature of contradictions.

Just a bit of venting at those who would insist on the massacre of our beautiful English language... Please note that "it's" can also be a contraction of "it has".
