DOn't you just love this tactic, this and the false DMCA claims to supress freedom of speech – Mercy ministries an abusive cult like treatment facility has recently been caught doing this.

No, we don't NEED youtube. That's as inane as saying that we NEED Democrats. Youtube needs us as much as we need them. Their services are free, but so are many others and much better too.

Second, if the video was indeed pulled down by organised muslim activists then unless Youtube gives them a smackdown for taking down something obviously legal, it's still not good

Ok, buddy. Get off your soapbox and exercise some pragmatism. YouTube is not going to have any serious impact if a bunch of athiests stop using their site. Face it, you need YouTube. The service they provide is free. Quit bitching like you paid for it.

Secondly, YouTube did not pull your video, USERS FLAGGED IT. More then likely, organized Muslims, as they are very vocal about this and brag that it only takes 21 flags to pull a video down. I'm not trying to start an online religious war, fuck no. I don't really care as I think Militant Atheism you display is brutish and stupid. Personally, I'm Militant Agnostic:

I don't know and neither do you.

Yes, you got it, that exactly what I'm saying. I'm trying to get child porn on youtube and you meddling kids are always flagging the good stuff…

Just think about what you're saying sometimes…if you can think that is…

The flag button is there to be pushed.[...] and used to flag videos.

If the flag button is allowed to be used to game the system and remove the voices of people who you don't like then the system is broken and should be fixed.

This time we were lucky that Pat was famous and people rallied to his cause. People who are not so popular just end up getting silenced.

As for the free accounts, well, let them make new ones. At the least they are going to be annoyed.

I think you're just very confused on what Atheism is.

Willfully confused, at that. You could explain it until you were blue in the face and he would refuse to understand.

So you are suggesting is someone posts a child getting raped that they leave it up until they can check it? You disgust me, sir.

You may not believe in God. That's fine and dandy, but Pat Condell clearly states his anti-religion views many times in this video. This is an Atheist standpoint and it is indeed a philosophy. Atheism is not compatible or comparable with Secularism. This is the folly of Pat Condell's issue with Muslim courts.

What is the Philosophy of Atheism pray?
Also, why exactly is it not compatible with Separation of church an state when Atheism has no church or religion?

I think you're just very confused on what Atheism is.
