Bloody boring.

Yeah, attempting to have a reasonable discussion is boring. It's much more interesting to listen to conspiracy theorists.

The subject is anything but boring.  But watching you sit in a chair and recite what informed people already know is about as attention-grabbing as dry toast.

It isn't the message (which is important) or the urgency (even more so). It's your delivery.

First, some people watching my video may actually be uninformed about the things I say in that video. Second, not every message needs to reveal something new, it can just be explaining things from a different perspective. Did you become an atheist because somebody revealed something new to you, or because somebody analyzed things differently, in a way that makes atheism look more likely?

But your delivery is boring.  I don't imagine that enough people are going to be glued to the video by your charisma to take in what you say.

Taking a different perspective is all well and good, but jaysus - get a few charts and graphs.  Speak in something other than a monotone.  If you're passionate about your subject, then show it.

I never 'became' an atheist.

Why on earth did you ask what people think of your video if you can't take some criticism?  What you have to say is important, there's no denying that, and I wish more people had your point of view.  But your video isn't going to help anyone but insomniacs.

And how exactly would you sound charismatic? Especially when speaking a foreign language such as English, and you don't have a lot of time to practice. My college isn't going well, and I don't know if I could have afforded the time to make this video even as it is.

LOL, I'm not charismatic, which is one reason I don't make videos.

Let's leave it there.  You asked for peoples' opinions about your video and go all butthurt when you get them.  Nothing I can do to help you.

So, you think what I'm doing is worse than nothing? I mean, what Tony Heller is doing is almost certainly worse than nothing, and it's important for people to realize that.

Oh, keep yer hair on, fer Chrissakes. 

Yes, what Heller is doing is bad. Very bad. My issue with your video isn’t what you’re doing, but how you’re presenting it. You’re a bright guy and you know your stuff. I just think your message would come across better with a better presentation. People will be better informed if the information is presented in an entertaining manner.

A word of advice for the next video you post here: if you don’t want criticism, don’t ask for it.
