The barrier is cognitve dissonance.
They are utterly certain their beliefs are true. Anything that casts doubt on them causes mental discomfort (Monty Python: my brain hurts) which is resolved by making it disappear, inventing "reasons" why people say what they do, etc.
Which is why they...
...and they give the lie to fundies who equate these with atheism - he's a Christian who is embarrassed by creationists and fundamentalists who imagine they speak for all Christians.
I just wish more of them spoke up..
They're paranoid liars. Nobody is attacking Christians and Christianity. If they kept their stupidity yo themselves there wouldn't be any reaction.
It doesn't surprise me who his friends are. They are also aggressively stupid, dishonest paranoid liars who pretend the negative reaction is...
There's a program to automate youtube voting out there that you can find with a google seacrch using two rather obvious keywords. It seems to have been around for a couple of years now, and at one time cost $35. There are also torrents out there for it.
It seems to have been written to vote up...
We know why. Because youtub'e "self regulation" by its user community allows unethical and dishonest users for whom anything goes, to silence people who stand up to them.
DPRJ is particularly hated by a section of the user community for outing VFX's recent illegal activities.
The...
Neither youtube nor the League of Reason changed me.
Moving to the USA did. Even though the UK has an established religion it is largely ignored and there were very few religious loonies. I was never a pariah before that. Nor subject to an endless barrage of religious stupidity and bigotry.
Light sails. These will be multi-generation voyages. Navigation will be triicky because you need to aim where the star will be when you arrive and I'm not sure we can predict that yet.
He's had his web page taken down....
"This site has been taken offline by the parents of VenomFangX, they don't support/share his views and apologize if he has offended anyone."
And being the amoral sociopath he is, he keeps digging himself in deeper instead of coming clean. He thinks everybody else is stupid enough to believe him - until he gets disproven yet again.
He was almost unbelievably nasty and incredibly stupid. The old VFX from before any of his illegal activities.
At its heart was one of the main reasons we know just how stupid so many theists are. Not because of their beliefs, but their inability to grasp that it's only real to their fellow...
He's updated his home page with his excuses and the letter he wants donors who sent money for Sick Kids Hospital to allow him to use the money for whatever purpose he likes,after the event.
He includes these lies abouat atheists:
"As it stands, in particular atheists on youtube, have tried to...
Theists who say this are just being stupid. Because atheist is a simple demographic label for what we aren't, not what we are.
It's pretty much all we have in common.
And it's a non-event.
It's like saying blondes are stupid.
But it is an example of the real problem - that stupid theists who...
I don't know. The one ZoneAlarm intercepted was pidief which apparently works via pdf files. I'm not sure how.
I don't go to VFX's site very often, just to find out what he's up to. As far as I remembered a lot of stuff posted about him came from his forum and you didn't need to log on to see it.
When I went to his site to see the latest he was up to, I tried to look at the forum without logging on.
And Zonelarm intercepted the pidief trojan.
Unless somebody has hacked his site this can only br malicious.
