When you break down what it would actually mean to be a deity, or to have absolute power and control over another one can start to appreciate the ghastly way in which events and decisions can go wrong. Unchecked power can only lead to psychopathy, and that is precisely the power so many of the faithful want to ascribe to their particular godhead.
I do not, and will not submit to any celestial dictatorship that is so potentially cruel remorseless. Is the video far fetched? Or is the video a chilling commentary on the system the religious so desperately seem to need?

The Arbourist ,
A psychopathic God and we are all ants . Very clever , but your narrator certainly took liberties bending ant behavior to fit the story . I’m no Entomologist , but even I know individual ants do not have sex . Actually your ant colony is more a socialist community where individuals have little individuality . Your Marxist God is a symbol of every dictator who ever had a country of blind followers and became obsessed with being worshiped .

very interesting. While some facts regarding ants may have been inaccurate, The comparison of the ants and our society smacked me in the face.
I really got a lot out of this video. Thank you for sharing.

“your narrator certainly took liberties bending ant behavior”
Your abilities at missing the point are truly second to none. I still don’t know if your responses are derived primarily from delusional paranoia, ignorance, or dishonesty, although I’m pretty sure they all play an important role. In any case, the brilliance of this vid is how well it beats its point home with the obvious-stick while being poignant at the same time. Your failure to recognize the message presented reeks of malicious dishonesty.
To anyone with the intellectual capacity of a nine-year-old and who doesn’t have their head squarely lodged in their own rectum, the glaringly obvious idea behind this vid was an exercise in consistency. If the actions described are horrendous and evil and definitely not filled with love when the narrator does them, then it is horrendous and evil and definitely not filled with love when the god of the bible acts in a similar fashion towards people.
” Your Marxist God”
What is with you and your hard-on for Marxism? I admit, it’s kind of handy sometimes when you’re ranting and raving and being generally incoherent (i.e. almost all the time) to have an indicator of what it is you’re really trying to fling your intellectual diarrhea at.
“oh, AS randomly labelled that Marxist, despite it having nothing to do with socio-economics, never-mind any particular viewpoint in that broad field. Don’t worry about that, because in Allan-Scott-World-of-Lunacy, it just means ‘Me no like!’ ”
“a symbol of every dictator who ever had a country of blind followers and became obsessed with being worshiped”
*COUGH-Bush era USA-COUGH* ahem, sorry, something went down wrong. Anyway, score ten points for getting the ‘blind-followers’ and ‘obsessed with being worshiped’ bits right, but minus 5 billion for “every dictator” part. As I already mentioned, if you weren’t busy lapping up the fecal porridge that is your baseless preconceived lies, you’d see it’s a symbol for gods of religion, specifically any religion that incorporates some idea of hell within its dogma.
I suggest for any future comments that instead of digging deep into your anal cavity for points of contention, you search a bit more externally in a thing the rest of us like to call ‘reality’.

P.S. The only references to sex in the vid were the lines ‘they fornicate in groups’ and ‘ copulating without any legal certification at all’. With a little bit of google-fu I found that ants do indeed mate in groups, the queen(s) and a bunch of male ants, around 10-20 of them. And I’m pretty sure no ant has been legally married. So not only is your objection dishonest and misdirecting and wilfully ignorant of the issue at hand, but it is also flat out wrong.
If you start with the words ‘even I know….’ it’s a good indication that some basic research is in order.

Mystro ,
” Your abilities at missing the point are truly second to none. ”
So sorry to upset you, it was not intentional , but I got the point . I even remarked how clever the narrator was . Now you do realize that my viewpoint is different from the narrator . He is bashing God . He is imagining God’s frustration with our flaws, as God is as far above us as the narrator is above his ants . Again so very clever until he became angered by the ants hygiene and sex lives .
I am playing the movie critic to this video, as suddenly the script quality went downhill .

As someone who has seen many nature shows on Television over the decades , I respectfully suggest you do not know what you are talking about .
The implication was that most ants have sex which the God narrator found distasteful .The vast majority of ants are merely workers who never have sex . As far as hygiene, since the ants are so densely populated , their hygiene is actually very good . If it was not, their colonies would be filled constantly with disease and bacteria .
A God would know that .
So you think I have a hard on for Marxism. Interesting theory .Just how is that different from the rest of you guys’ attitude towards religion ?
” So not only is your objection dishonest and misdirecting and wilfully ignorant of the issue at hand, but it is also flat out wrong. ”
I believe I have successfully disproved your statement .

“… but I got the point… He is bashing God.”
So you admit you did get the point but chose to focus, instead, on an irrelevant piece of ant trivia and then presented some bs about socialism/marxism, all to avoid addressing the actual message?
Do you know what it’s called when you knowingly spread information that you know to be false and try to divert people away from a true message? It’s called lying. Your conduct is most dishonest and not appreciated. If you are truly sorry about upsetting people, I suggest you stop brazenly lying through your teeth every time you leave a comment.
“As someone who has seen many nature shows on Television…”
I provide you with two links, one to a university info site and one to a university paper to back my points, and your response is “I saw something on tv, so you must be wrong”? General tip when dealing with reality: university research is more credible than your recollection of a tv viewing experience.
“The implication was that most ants have sex”
No, it wasn’t. I even quoted the line for you in my last response. The
implicationflat out assertion was that ants fornicate in groups, and they do.To be clear (because giving you any kind of benefit of the doubt always results you lying more) I am not saying you were wrong because you said that most ants don’t have sex. I’m saying you were wrong for attributing the opposite claim to the narrator. Making shit up is just another one of your many methods of deceit and it’s deplorable.
“So you think I have a hard on for Marxism…how is that different from the rest of you guys’ attitude towards religion ?”
You give the label of “Marxist” to anything you want to criticize, despite it having nothing at all to do with Marxism. I’ve even provided you with a definition for Marxism in previous threads, which you’ve ignored. Intentionally mislabelling something in order to make a fallacious generalization to slander that something is yet another form of lie.
Whereas we point out the negative consequences and horrendous implications that actually exist due to religion. We explain and describe our views in detail, so if there was any honest contention to our views, the commenter could easily lay out their point(s). You know, like the opposite of what you do.
“I believe I have successfully disproved your statement .”
I believe you have successfully shown yourself to be a dishonest, irritating cad with no regard for honest discussion. Not to mention incredibly stupid for thinking you can get away with your duplicitous and disingenuous fabrications in a forum where you’ve been continually called out on them.
Seriously. Give your head a shake.
