There are so many things wrong with this video, I don't even know where to start...
Okay...
First, we have a grown ass man driving around a neighborhood and stopping random children who are riding their bicycles.
Stranger danger, kids. Really.
Anyway, he immediately asks them if they live in the area, and then if they go to church in the area. Then he gets the idea that he has the RIGHT to ask these complete strangers, someone else's children, where they would go after they die. Not only this, but he is an utter asswipe about it and tells the kids who gets to answer first.
Look at the kids in the video. They are clearly uncomfortable, shifting on their bikes and taking glances at one another thinking, "What the fuck, dude?" They don't want to be rude, so they answer the guys questions. I wish they would have flipped him off, mooned him and then flattened his tires.
He then tells them what they need to do in order to save their souls according to the Bible. He then has them repeat after him a prayer to God.
Not only is this out of line, it creepy and disturbing.
Do religious people even realize this is extremely out of line?
No.
They are right and we are wrong.
They are only trying to save our souls.
How would they feel if atheists stopped their children as they were out riding their bicycles? Telling them that a belief in God is stupid and then explaining why. Giving out copies of "God is not Great" or "The God Delusion?"
How would they like it if we had them repeat chants like, "Adults with imaginary friends are stupid."
They would be freaking the fuck out, wouldn't they?
Me.
WindySydney began as an online journal detailing my exit from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Since leaving the Mormon Church, I have come to the conclusion that religion does more harm than good. I have also become an atheist, looking for logic and reason instead of accepting things on faith.
I also blog about things going on in my life. I am learning photography, I have a severe addiction to diet coke, I am a proud vegetarian, and I have two of the cutest cats in the world. Life is officially an adventure without the magical fairy-tale ending. I plan on enjoying it.
