That's the worst bit of it, in my assessment of the situation. They aren't out to get you, they don't give a shit about you, and yet they get you anyway just like water rolling off the backs of their hands.
Judging from the posts on these boards alone (my news addiction aside); I think it's fair to say that all of our collective governments are completely dropping the ball on us, and they don't even seem to have realized they were holding a ball in the first place.

Careful, comrade - such thinking will get you sent off for re-education.

So would this be religiously "offensive?"

Just trying to define the parameters.

Ooh ooh ooh, If I had time I would draw up a picture of holy Mohamed -Mohamed after a shotgun blast.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

youtube should remove religious videos. They offend me because they contradict or conflict with my belief...and in most cases they are video insluting who I am as a person.

Just left a comment on Thunderf00t's vid:
Quote:If someone thinks a video is 'religiously offensive' (i.e. embarasses them for having silly, even childish, beliefs), it's easily solved. They can pray to Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Zeus, or any of the other 6000 gods that humanity have ever invented and ask it to remove the video with god magic. Doing anything else, including whining to YT, displays a terrible lack of faith and they should maybe think about quitting their religion.
I expect my inbox to turn into a toilet bowl within minutes.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I think this was mainly done for Muslim extremists who might respond radically. See: Muhammad cartoon. It's a political and 'politically correct' move. I fully agree that offending shouldn't be a crime, which is why the "hate speech" accused of Christians is so ridiculous.

Not sure, but since it has Jesus in it I'm going to go with yes.

This has been the case ever since Google took over Youtube. This is just one more thing in a long line of crap that Youtube has pulled over the years. Even if it violates their own terms of service, they don't care.

Yeah, muslims have a stranglehold on the extremist market, and "hate speech" is total bullshit....

From now on I am going to flag ever video I come across that say atheists are going to burn in hell, I am going to flag as Religiously offensive, I I hope you join me because if there is enough they can't ignore us forever.

Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
