I'm such a science geek, I loved that!
Like my reader feeds, I have problems keeping my YouTube subscriptions down to a manageable number, but I really like this one.
They had a 10 facts about the Bible a few weeks back I started to post, but I'm not sure they all were in fact, facts. I have seen religious arguments in many other places, but they are the worst on YT. I seldom see professed Christians being nasty, but the atheists/non-believers come out in droves on those types and are so hateful. I'm not sure if they really don't believe or if they're just trying to get a rise out of the religious people. I think it's more of the latter, that they're just trolling.
I have problems with my own faith at times, but other than a little gentle poking at some religions, I try to leave that sort criticism alone. I DO have thoughts about certain religions, but I generally keep 'em to myself.
Anyway, I like this one, too. I have been bypassing political and news articles in favor of the ones about new scientific breakthroughs or privately funded space programs, etc.
