I saw your comment on the you tube video. I think you have to realize that people like that are angry because they are desperately afraid that God might exist. I admit that it is my guilty pleasure to sometimes poke them with a metaphorical stick but in general I don't take them too seriously. They are woefully uninformed and usually uninteresting,

The other evening I was watching a YouTube video and then I read the comments section and found another example of a naysayer who goes off the deep end and points out what we hear so, so often blaming Christians for many of the ills of the world. He was responding to another person's comment.
"If you need a god to know what's good and what's evil, you are not a human being, but a puppet. I will never harm anybody because i have a CONSCIENCE and not a human made "faith" which killed millions of innocent people the last thousand years. Of course, people who made slavery into a trade (christians and good churchgoers but also muslims) were still "good" for their community, because then, everybody thought that african people were some kind of animals. Women who died because honorable husbands killed them in the name of God, who died because some <staff edit> priests told them they sinned when they had kids out of wedlocks, who died because they were worthless inferior beings, betrayed, sold, shut in convents in the name of God, well, they probably were all sinners and desserved to die according to the nonsense you just wrote. Goodness or evil belongs to human beings, it has nothing to do with God. After all, this movie didn't tell about God, but about people who cared for each other."
I responded with "Christianity should not be judged on the basis of those who claim to be its adherents, when, in reality, they practice the opposite of what it teaches."
At this point let me say I do not take credit for my response for I found this quote on the website I link to below. I wanted to share this for it was as succinct a response I've ever read or heard on the matter of the topic of my post.
Why Are So Many Christians Hypocrites?
Like most of you, at times we are at a loss as to how best to respond to such criticism and for me this was a keeper. Your thoughts are welcome.
