If i could interrupt the discussion on Reincarnation or whatever this thread had devolved into for just a second.

I have a comment about the video.

I think it is kind of funny.

One statement the guy made about "Conservatives waging a war on science."

I am both an atheist and very conservative.  

Not all of us (atheists) lean toward the left.  It is my belief that we are a sizable non vocal group who do not advertise their atheism, but logically just cannot swallow the bullshit any more.  The fact that because of my political beliefs I am written off as a simpleton gets irritating.    I would be willing to say that most well educated conservatives are well grounded in logic and science.  Many religious conservatives (lets not forget liberals) do not hold their religious beliefs to the same standard of logic/reason and science because that is the nature of faith and belief.  This does not make them idiotic, blind followers who do not question what the church tells them.

Please keep that in mind when you make snap judgments, or stereotypical statements.

OK please resume your previous discussion.
