Hi Mike,
I got some Youtube comments for ya;
HiFiFoxxy writes:
Richard Dickwawd he is Stupid Poop, Caca head, Guwano face, Raveoli Maccaroni, meat dog, Dipshit, SaurCunt, chili whenie, booger roast, lard underpit, stinky skunk, pee U like funk, Ugly beast from the east, Nobody CARES what he thinks, He's a lier underfire, WHERE! with Lucifur that's were he is. Man lost in his own illusions from ignorance! British or England he talks jibberesh. I agree 100% with Kent Hovind he's innocent he's holy. Soon God will come near and all this will be over.
Nice.

Ass fucking is wrong and the homosexuals must be punished for ass fucking.
Matthew Shepard paid the price for his sins.
All homosexuals must pay the price for such dirty behavior.
The preferable method of atonement is death because God will judge them. [...]
It is not considered bigotry to hate the Jew murderers, Homosexual dick-suckers Lesbian cunt-lickers or ghetto Niggers.
The Jews are nothing more then cheats, con artists and murderers.
Niggers hate us as much as we hate them.
If you do not believe me try walking through Nigger-town at midnight.
Be sure to leave your wallet at home.
I am not prejudiced against Niggers, I believe everybody ought to own a few.
Easy on the potty-mouth there Craig!
Matthew Sheppard, in case you're wondering, was a young man who was murdered for being gay.
MrPooper writes:
the atheist's true nightmare is what comes after death. haha. prepare for hell all you fags who don't respect this video. i hope God makes Satan shove bananas up your butts for all of eternity that would be poetic justice.
Gee, I hope "Mr Pooper" is his real name.
So what have I proved? That all Christians are semi-literate haters? Of course not. You can't use a few objectionable douchebags to condemn an entire group. The same applies to atheist Youtube commenters. All we've proved here is that there are some serious assholes who post at Youtube.
This is a very silly thread. I think your time would be better spent helping Dr A with his Suzy dilemma, rather than trawling through Youtube comments.

Re: Benevolence
Just for the record,
Can't remember the last atheist group feeding the poor and hungry, but seem to recall many groups or various religions helping the multitude.
I am a member of the Leicester Secular Society. Collections are regularly made on behalf of destitute asylum seekers and members of the society run an exchange scheme where the absurd vouchers that asylum seekers are given by the government are exchanged for cash.

Jon Ronson On... Internet Loons
Listening to the excellent Jon Ronson On... programme on Radio 4 the other night, I was reminded of the original post of this thread. Here is what Ronson has to say on the subject of why people on the internet can believe nonsense so readily and behave so appallingly;
How did the internet get so vicious? I think I have the answer.
The internet gives us the illusion that we’re wonderfully gregarious people. When we type away on discussion boards and post comments on our blogs, it feels like we’re sitting outside a pub in the evening sunshine, with our attractive, cool friends, but we aren’t. That’s something we used to do, before we got addicted to the internet. What we do instead is some empty, unsatisfying facsimile of that. We sit alone in our rooms, becoming more and more isolated from society and inevitably this turns us into mad, yelling, wild-eyed loons.
Specifically, Ronson is talking about internet conspiracy theorists (7/7 "truthers"), but I think his comments are equally true for the Youtube comments that Mike was talking about.
Jon Ronson BTW, is a fantastic journalist, one of those people who just ploughs his own furrow. The whole show is worth listening to and is available here;
