Conservapedia LOVES him..absolutely worships his videos...
So what do you think?

ShockOfGod is a pretentious (see; that's how the word should be used) little twat who films himself riding about on his motorbike with a camera mounted in his helmet, which is exactly where a lot of people want to shove a camera, talking to himself about various victories he imagines he's had over prominent atheist Youtubers. His most powerful argument - to him anyway - is the Question That No Atheist Has Ever Been Able To Answer: "Can you provide evidence that atheism is accurate and correct?"
That should tell you all you need to know about CrockOfGod.
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.'

Very true.
Though I think it does help that atheism (or at least agnostic atheism) has quite a few compelling arguments in support of itself.

The guy once added me as a friend on youtube, I went to his channel and posted a rather respectfull comment saying I was an atheist. Disn't take long for the friend request to be witdrawned, my comment deleted and I got blocked from further commenting. Yeah, I'm that great
Remember, this is the guy that wanted "Proof and evidence atheism is accurate and correct!"

Which of course it is.
I am never wrong.

These people were so convinced by charisma that they just assume that atheists are like dominoes behind Richard Dawkins. Rather than spending their time trying to provide evidence of their god (which is what they'd be doing if they actually gave a shit/had two functional brain cells), they waste time attempting to erode the credibility of some mythical atheist priesthood.
Rythm hits the nail right on the head!!!
Ultra Kudos!!!!
I was an atheist LOOOOONNNNNGGGG before I ever heard of Dawkins, or Fell, or even that Einstein was a skeptic.
I came to atheism based on how bullshit the concept of god is...not because of some charismatic leader
They're so used to being followers and being told what to do by their religious leaders like the pope that they can't imagine that we don't need to be told what to do.
That we accept people like Dawkins et al as fellow travellers, nothing more.
And if Dawkins declared tomorrow that he was taking up islam I would be disappointed. Nothing else.

I would like to hear his rationale as to WHY he is taking up i-slam

He is one of those rabid youtube fundies that disables ratings on all of his videos, and diligently monitors every single opinion sent to any of his videos. His videos are massively populated by opinions that praise shock of god as a warrior, strokes his ego, or agrees with him.
I ahve founf that when I intentionally make a spelling mistake while commenting on his videos, my chances of being published are much higher. He perceives atheists as clowns, and atheism as "madness". Anything that makes atheists look like that will be held high on an altar by this guy.

I must admit, I have seen quite a few of Shock of gods vids....yet, I can rarely stomach anything longer that 2 or 3 minutes without shutting it off and moving on. Sometimes he starts right off on the gloating, and it is so obviously personal ego stroking and such that I cant even handle a minute.
The nice thing is, that even after viewing shock of god for less than a minute, the nice thing is that the next video you watch, no matter what it be, will be a great improvement compared to what you just saw vomiting out of your monitor..
...even if it is a creationist video.
