[@Andrew-1828]

I am adopted and I would rather be with a gay family, males or females, than be stuck without one at all. so how dare that man to say we can't bring up adoption

[@emerydo5937]

Yay somebody with some logic

[@plutoandpolaris]

As a lesbian, I can't force myself to look at guys and be attracted to them. You can't turn straight or gay. This man is obviously lying to himself and piling on the self guilt to "atone" for his sins when he didn't really do anything wrong. That's the pain religion can cause. It can force you to abandon who you are to be told you are a horrible sinner to force you to worship someone who makes you repress your true self.

[@fordsicore]

It's sad really

[@CountPenta]

+Sophia Lind So much self-hate in this video.

[@JeremiahLauzon]

[@michaelmorris1865]

I'm glad you're open minded, if more Christians were like you there would be far less hate in the world.

[@thevashfan12392]

Michael Morris that'd be a hard statement to believe, you're only removing a SMALL piece of the variable that makes up a much much larger entity (this is not referring to God specifically but all the people who share the same thought of it) all the hatred in the world spawns from everyone disliking everyone, you can't tell me there is'nt a SINGLE person in the entire mass of 7 billion people that you don't have some form of disliking, does'nt even need to be hatred towards them just disliking! it starts with a small tiny insignificant one disliking of something that in time expands to other things and more people will feel that dislike and it infects them too! eventually the masses of people grow too large and eventually we have hatred build up from excess emotional pressure and then violence and other things start, TLDR : the entire universe is a great big mass of chaos that is ALWAYS changing and can have shape or can be shapeless, it is constantly hating others, itself, or loving others and itself it never stops going back and forth because the scale of which the chaos keeps flowing is impossible to even comprehend! (I can just barely grasp the imagination of it all!)

[@Dracongard]

Mentally and physically. Just adding on.

[@surbluh2099]

Blastjarna Not a fan of religion, but I don't think someone self mediciating self hatred with religion religion destroying a person, it's just their shitty coping mechanism.

[@blastjarna7521]

***** Of course religion itself cannot hurt anybody. But if you already have mental problems and low self-esteem like Joseph Martelly obviosly has, a system of rules like the Ten Commandments and all those other strange rules within the Bible can have a really bad inpact and cause a lot of self hatered as seen on this poor guy.

[@joyble]

Joseph is trying too hard to hide away who he is. He's dropping one senseless claim after another and yet everyone can see over the wall he's trying to build around himself. You can't hear that "passion" in his voice by which you could tell that he really believes in his own words. He is a sad, broken man and I really feel sorry for him. He is not crazy, deluded or something like that, he just wants to be accepted, but unfortunately, after witnessing that sexual act and after seeing how society treats the gay people, he probably thought that he will be excluded, not from paradise, but from that same society that deprecates homosexuality. He's not afraid of God, he's afraid of man.

[@totalwarking7839]

Anyone who needs a book to tell them right from wrong is pathetic

[@DJ_Kuroto]

Agreed. Although there are certain mental cases that would call for SOME help from a book. But the bible and a sane person really do not need each other.

[@TimD9422]

What is wrong with this guy?! "I deserve hell", "I deserve hell", "I deserve hell". His religious indoctrination has destroyed all sense of self-worth he had.

[@Trialtrex21]

Pretty much sums up most religions.

[@TimD9422]

"The Judgement" is just as real as your god and religion, which is to say not at all.

[@hubbabubba2007]

I can only say that I agree with you, and I feel so bad for Joseph Martelli. Having to live a life based on a lie and on self hatred supported by an ancient book breaks my heart. It also saddens me that Martelli apparently believes that every straight person is supposed to reproduce. So many straight men and women don't want (or can't like you said!) to have children; are they sinners too? Not according to Martelli, because they don't have sex with their own gender. I just can't wrap my head around his statements. I'm all for respecting other people's beliefs, but his I just can't seem to comprehend... I understand where he gets his ideas from, I just can't understand why he believes them.

[@fellowshipofgaming847]

I don't understand what's the big deal about being homosexual. What people do with their lives, is their own business. My sister is lesbian, and it's awesome. She was the best wingman I ever had, but now she's married to a beautiful woman and doesn't do much of the bar thing with me anymore :( I still love her for who she is and our parents do as well and that will never change. And if anyone has a problem with her sexuality, they can kiss both our asses.

[@JCBassCovers]

I love how people speak of gays not being able to give birth to children as it being a disadvantage and is a bad thing. As if having children is something everyone should desire and is the only fulfilling thing in life.

[@Robert0Pirie]

Well it's the only way that women can serve society... right? Popping out babies is all they're good for? Yeah, that sounds right... hang on... (opens bible) yep... it's right there!

[@JCBassCovers]

Isaac M i know the feeling. I don't want kids either.

[@dozydoe5245]

Am I the only one who felt like the "big man" comment might've had sexual undertones? "You're a big man, Mister Rep-Zion. MMmmmm

[@AlienWithABox]

Surrogate mothers, test-tube babies, adoption... LGBT people can have kids in quite a few ways - nothing will stop someone from having and loving a child!

[@Thebucketfulorats]

HerityInOrder The guy's point was "Hurr, there is no dick in vagina hurrr." Which, I just realized I have had this conversation with my dad not that long ago because he actually came to me and sounding so impressed, "There are gay people at work and they call their spouse wife or husband." I had to say to him, if a guy calls his man his husband, he could just be using the gender norm. Personally I am in a hetro-relationship but I wana be called the wife.

[@djmasteryoda5833]

Lesbians can't have kids unless adoption. Gay people cant have kids unless adoption. Transgender depends, and bisexual depends

[@Scaevola9449]

Are you talking about Dan or the guy he is responding to?

[@Cariboumiser]

Who do you think?

[@DalleDayul]

I don't know. Why do you think I asked?

[@Cariboumiser]

I thought it was obvious. Daniel even says that Joseph Martelli needs to realize who he is and accept it. I am talking about Joseph Martelli.

[@DalleDayul]

Thank you.

[@jettythesunfish]

It's also annoying me how he's mispronouncing "Repzion", because it seems like he's doing it on purpose to spite Daniel.

[@kaylyn7142]

Christianity is human-shaming

[@FunkyDose]

+kaylyn Cause you don't know what it stands for, you never truly went trough it, to have a honest opinion, all you do is watch lost people videos, being deceived and come up with your brainwashed conception.

[@kaylyn7142]

+FunkyDose the majority of you comment is based off of assumptions about me. and also, the points you present can easily be turned against themselves. I am going to assume that you are of christian faith, so how can you share an opinion on something such as atheism when you have not experienced it yourself. I usually do not make comments like the one I made earlier because I am accepting of all religions and am okay with whatever anyone chooses to practice and believe in. The reason I posted the above comment is because of the christians who do not accept anyone other than religious people or even just christians. It just bothers me that people can be so naive as to believe that anyone who isn't christian has a brainwashed perception. that is a hugely false statement to make. anyone can easily tell you that you are brainwashed for being christian and you will quickly deny that, and i will do the same. we are all "brainwashed" in our own ways and we have to accept that fact that everyone thinks differently and we all have different ideas of reality.

[@FunkyDose]

+kaylyn Faith has nothing to do with religion. Well isn't lack of common, sixth sense, out of box, wide perspective and lack of experience - atheisms? All atheists who think only about themselves has the same view on everything which is based of what they have been told. ''Christians'' accept everyone that is what we believe in, we try to help and tell people how they can achieve ever, fully happy, lasting life. We love and accept everyone, what are you talking about? Doesn't matter if he is atheist or what ever. Just because you come across people who are ignorant, arrogant and represent themselves as a ''Christian'' which is majority and for a lot of reasons, doesn't mean that everyone is bad. Just like in everything - majority is always dumb and ignorant. Its not about what you choose, that is the biggest problem in man kind. Faith it self is not bad, people are bad. Kids like this one, twists everything to make us look bad. If you really knew what this is all about yourself, you wont ever judge anything by how others act, say or do. Have a nice day.

Nice name bro

[@pisca6496]

Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! George Carlin

It is sad people think that way. What's even sadder is those same people with that mindset don't realize that straight people get married all the time without the intention or interest of having children as well. According to his logic, they shouldn't be allowed to marry as well.

[@Fake_gamer_cat]

When I used to be religious I was in Sunday school classes, and we were talking about marriage and kids. The teacher asked me if I was going to have kids the moment after I got married, and I said "No, I'm never going to have kids. Married or not." And the whole class fucking lost it.

[@kieronmendes]

[@DeathRipper97]

Kieron Gaffney That's a stereotype, the fact that you're gay doesn't let you generalize like that. Sorry, I don't mean anything bad by calling you out, but I like art and don't like the fact that men are often called out for expressing themselves in that way, just sayin'.

[@jamieA7Xfan90]

Does that make all male songwriters gay? As songs are poems in the form of music. A little food for thought

[@crossofintimidation]

Look at this guy. At first I thought it was just the discomfort of being on camera and anger that made him look this way, but if you put all that aside and read his body language, this guy is in serious pain. If it wasn't obvious by his self loathing, just everything about him says all the inner turmoil he is going through. And as a Christian, this pisses me off, because it's obvious that whatever "Christians" (I use that term loosely in regards for them) "helped" (again, loosely) him, they tore him apart. I cannot help but wonder if he was indoctrinated Clockwork Orange style. I'm joking but not, because that is basically what their "conversion therapy" does. This man was not helped at all, and for that I feel really bad. I laughed at his comments and poem, but at the end, I felt really sorry for him. This kind of shit needs to stop.

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

I must have seen through the bullshit that is religion as a kid, because I remember having a dream, flying into a picture, Super Mario 64 style, and I was in an small cave, the rest of my family was down below, on a beach with black sand, and the "tides" were of lava. Now in the realm of reality, I really have no empathy budget for people like Martelli. The most I will ever do is refer them to a psychologist.

***** "Follow Hitler! He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the Secret Doctrine, opened his centres in vision, and given him the means to communicate with the powers . Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced history more than any other German." [Satanist, Dietrich Eckart, from his deathbed, December, 1923, quoted by Trevor Ravenscroft, "Spear of Destiny", p. 91] ADOLF HITLER'S CRITICISMS OF CHRISTIANITY 1.Christianity is a religion that defends the weak and the low 2.It is purely Jewish and oriental in origin 3.It forces people to bend their backs to the sound of church bells and crawl to the cross of a foreign god 4.It began 2000 years ago among sick, exhausted, and despairing men who had lost their belief in life 5.The Christian tenets of forgiveness of sin, resurrection, and salvation are plain nonsense 6.The Christian of mercy is a dangerous, un-German idea 7.Christian love is a silly concept because love paralyses men 8.The Christian idea of equality protects the racially inferior, the ill, the weak, and the crippled Adolf hitler( Between 1939 and 1945, the Schutzstaffel (SS), assisted by collaborationist governments and recruits from occupied countries, was responsible for the deaths of at least eleven million people, including 5.5 to 6 million Jews (representing two-thirds of the Jewish population of Europe), and between 200,000 and 1,500,000 Romani people. Deaths took place in concentration and extermination camps, ghettos, and through mass executions. Many victims of the Holocaust were gassed to death, whereas others died of starvation or disease or while working as slave labourers. In addition to eliminating Jews, the Nazis also planned to reduce the population of the conquered territories by 30 million people through starvation in an action called the Hunger Plan.)

[@signumcrucis71]

mikeshoreboy "Because he was raised a Catholic and used Catholic doctrine to destroy those who were not White Catholics/Christians." --ahhahahahhah!!!..and "he used Catholic doctrine to destroy those who were not White Catholics/Christians"...ahahahhahahhahahhhh!!! --you believe in Santa Claus!!....ahahhahahahah!!....so naive!!! Nazism and religion could not co-exist. Germany couldn't tolerate intervention of foreign influences like the Vatican; and priests, he said, were "black bugs" and "abortions in black cassocks. In Hitler's eyes, Christianity was a religion fit only for slaves; he detested its ethics in particular. Its teaching, he declared, was a rebellion against the natural law of selection by struggle and the survival of the fittest.(Extract from Hitler: a Study in Tyranny, by Alan Bullock) Into the early 1930s the German Centre Party, the German Catholic bishops, and the Catholic media had been mainly solid in their rejection of National Socialism. They denied Nazis the sacraments and church burials, and Catholic journalists excoriated National Socialism daily in Germany's 400 Catholic newspapers. The hierarchy instructed priests to combat National Socialism at a local level whenever it attacked Christianity. From 1940, the Nazis gathered priest-dissidents in dedicated clergy barracks at Dachau, where (95%) of its 2,720 inmates were Catholic (mostly Poles, and 411 Germans), 1034 died there. In Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany, the Nazis attempted to eradicate the church and over 1800 Polish Catholic clergy died in concentration camps; most notably, Saint Maximilian Kolbe. Influential members of the German Resistance included Jesuits of the Kreisau Circle and laymen such as July plotters Klaus von Stauffenberg, Jakob Kaiser and Bernhard Letterhaus, whose faith inspired resistance. Elsewhere, vigorous resistance from bishops such as Johannes de Jong and Jules-Géraud Saliège, papal diplomats such as Angelo Rotta, and nuns such as Margit Slachta, can be contrasted with the apathy of others and the outright collaboration of Catholic politicians such as Slovakia's Msgr Jozef Tiso and fanatical Croat nationalists. From within the Vatican, Msgr Hugh O'Flaherty coordinated the rescue of thousands of Allied POWs, and civilians, including Jews. We live in an era of the ultimate conflict with Christianity. It is part of the mission of the SS to give the German people in the next half century the non-Christian ideological foundations on which to lead and shape their lives. This task does not consist solely in overcoming an ideological opponent but must be accompanied at every step by a positive impetus: in this case that means the reconstruction of the German heritage in the widest and most comprehensive sense.

As a psychology enthusiast, and an ex Christian who shared the attitude of self loathing for my "sins" that this guy has, I feel with the way he talks, he is suffering from Psychosis. I do feel religion in general triggers psychosis/mental illness. With the pressure to deny and repress normal human instincts that are an integral part of who we are, and majorly contribute to our mental emotional health. Freedom to express oneself sexually and emotionally keeps us happy and healthy. No one should hate themselves for their sexuality. Sexuality is such a raw expression of ourselves and the evolutionary process we came from. Coming out of Christianity, meeting a guy I feel strongly for now and having a sexual relationship has really set me free from a lot of fear, guilt and emotional turmoil I suffered as a Christian. I now feel that the whole religious ideal of directing all our love and passion towards "god" and loving him above all else, is a manipulation of our evolutionary desire for a mate. It is taking something integral away from us and forcing us to direct all that sexual and emotional desire for a partner to an invisible deity. Loving a real person and expressing this sexually feels like what I was made for, and according to evolution, it is. So now I resent the fact I deprived myself of something so beautiful for so long.

***** Well yes, you are correct I'm sure, but, what of the women and men who are "heterosexual" and cannot produce babies due to biological reasons of infertility? What of them? They cannot multiply by themselves and what if they want a baby? Adoption isn't a bad thing it's actually good.

Christianity also helped contribute to Rome's fall due to its lack of tolerance to the indigenous faith.

[@cartoonfan9185]

Because the roman emperors totally didn't make practicing Christianity punishable by death. You're right; they were the tolerant ones and the Christians were ALL bigots who should have been killed for their religious beliefs in a day where pretty much everyone had an us vs them attitude regarding religion and ethnicity.

[@tangerinefarmer]

Cartoon Fan Actually Nero terribly persecuted the Christians, but, he mostly did it as a distraction from his own horrific policies. Christianity was a target because it was the only faith that refused to bow down to the emperor. Since Rome was polytheistic it was tolerant of other religions. However, when Constantine made Christianity the state religion the monotheistic faith claimed it was the only way and forced other religions out of existence. This caused great internal strife during a time of grave external turbulence, thus Rome fell.

[@peterhalat913]

[@caseydaisy5026]

I actually feel bad for Joseph. Beating himself up with religion all the time, saying he should go to hell and deserves death for his sins. That's a lot of self hatred. And i can speak to that because I've been through it and still have moments where I hate myself for who i like. It happens and it sucks. I think MrRepzion's(your) name is Daniel, sorry if I'm wrong, but i really admire the way you went about responding to Joseph. The part about it being totally fine to be gay and that you didn't mean any harm by calling him gay will help him a little bit if he starts to come to terms with himself in a sense. Thank you for that lovely wording of that part, if I had heard it a few years ago it would've meant a ton.

[@AkatsukiLink]

Why does Christians having hard time with Gays/Lesbians? Just saying, I'm a christian I don't care if people are straight, Lesbians, gays. Damn, why does Christians are always judging others? Just live and let live and I agree with MrRepzion

[@GnosisMan50]

MrRepzion, I inadvertently encountered you videos about a weeks ago and you certainly have much on your mind. Far more that I did when I was your age. However, you are still young and I'm sure you would agree that there is much you have yet to learn. In this, and in your many comments and criticisms against religion and religious people, consider these thoughts from humanistic psychologist E. Fromm (this would apply to the amazing atheist as well) _"Without a map of our natural and social world-a picture of the world and of one's place in it that is structured and has inner cohesion-human beings would be confused and unable to act purposefully and consistently, for there would be no way of orienting oneself, of finding a fixed point that permits one to organize all the impressions that impinge upon each individual. Our world makes sense to us, and we feel certain about our ideas, through the consensus with those around us. Even if the map is WRONG, it fulfills its psychological function. But the map has never been entirely wrong-nor has it ever been entirely right. It has always been enough of an approximation to the explanation of phenomena to serve the purpose of living"_ Needles to say Mr. Martelli and many like him, are using religion to fulfill a psychological function. I can only hope the above quote would provide you with the consolation in knowing that we, as humans, are doing our best to make sense of this often crazy world we live in and far too many people have lost their way in the process. Mr. Martelli is just one of many. While I do believe your heart is often in the right place, I'm sure you can go a step further by showing greater respect to him, those who disagree with you, and those you criticize. You and I may know better regarding the many ways religion misguides so many people but there is no point in arguing or insulting them about it even in jest since it only exacerbates the issue. Instead, and if we really know better, we need to find better ways to communicate with them in hopes they will see _for themselves_ the extend of their misguided ways. I'm sure you struggled admitting to others you've been wrong about something and it's not easy. Likewise, we ought not expect too much from Mr. Martelli since I believe he is struggling _as we all are_ in trying to make sense of our very existence. His belief in the Bible, as erroneous as it may be to you and I, is all that he has. You and I should be thankful we know better and all we can do is try helping those who lost their way with the attention and care they deserve. G

[@SmoothGroover98]

"Eh? Yeah, you got a problem with that Mister Rep-zi-on? Yea? Well, too bad." If I had a nickle for every time he said that, I would probably have a good three bucks.

[@peterhalat913]

***** That's his actual face. LOL

[@Blackestfang]

you took it down still, you are hiding it. I'm not showing mine because these are just icons, some people also don't want to show their face for privacy reasons. You hid the video so you are just hiding what you did wrong.

[@Blackestfang]

Peter Halat there IS privacy, if I don't want people seeing my face on the internet it's up to me. Plus I don't Believe in a God, so that agruement is invalid to me.

[@Blackestfang]

The point of privacy is there are some things you would like to have only close friends and family know. People on the internet are neither of these.

[@c1a2t3a4p5i6l7l8a9r]

thanks for saying that. I know I'm looking at a video you likely haven't thought about in quite some time, but I saw sincerity when you said it's okay. right now I'm battling the last bounds of shame, I'm too scared to go and meet people, I don't really even know why. Anyway, thanks for the sincerity, and the message you wish to convey, I think you are.

I've watched 4 of your videos so far and I must say that you are really on it. I very much respect what you do and I want to encourage you to continue doing it. It is great to see a young person doing so much positive and standing up for what is right. Most of the time I'm afraid to stand up against the extremist Christian majority and ignorance. I'm glad that you have the courage and remember that there are some of us that stand with you.

[@priestolu]

One thing i would like to point out is that a lot of Christians see science as a threat to their religion and God, but that does not make any sense because scientists are basically the ones who are amazed and astounded by the universe and all that exists. They want to learn more about the universe and if there is a conscious creator that did make the universe, i'm would guess his favorite people would be scientists since they are the ones that appreciate the creator's work. Scientists are basically fans of the Creator(if one exists).

[@dontdisthafet42]

Great video but I want to remind people of something. Not all Christians are like this. Many accept gays and others for who they are. It's people like the guy mrrepzion is responding to that give Christians a bad name.

[@cartoonfan9185]

Thank you for defending us from stereotypes. As somebody who is both gay and Christian, I'm getting very tired of all these hate wars. People need to learn how to accept others' religious beliefs.

[@zlinqx]

Well of course all christians are not against homosexuals but shouldn't they be considering the bible is against homosexuality?

[@Jetsiuc]

Agreed. Sometimes I do generalize the kind of christians like the guy of the video (who should be known as crazians, really), but, unless I'm really mad or something, I feel guilty and remind myself that there are christians that are reasonable people. Or rather, reasonable people that are christians, just as there are reasonable people who are atheists or follow other religions.

[@Heavyizbaibiez]

There is a large difference between a healthy religion and an unhealthy religion. Since a lot of religions have at least a few loopholes such as no homosexuals, no abortion, etc; I choose not to add religion to my life and just be myself. But I agree, not all Christians are like this, I have family and friends that are both gay and religious.

[@JordanLovesLoL]

If you have a religion follow it, If you don't believe parts of your religion then you're probably not religious, there's other religions that do accept homosexuality perhaps one of them would be best. Just to clarify I'm gay and I don't follow any religion etc, but I have nothing against people who do.

[@sethsmith289]

I agree with Mr. Repzion when it comes to using religion to discriminate, to humiliate, to judge, and to eventually drive people who are gay, who drink, or whatever, them to be suicidal . I am a Christian myself, but I don't use my religion to hurt and judge others because I MYSELF could be doing those things, ya know?? I respect people who are gay, who drink, etc. I may not do those things(nor do I want to), nor do I like what they may do, but I don't(nor will I ever) use my religion as a judgement weapon because it's not my job to judge. The Bible says that I must not judge others, or I myself will be judged.

[@Puzzleguy123]

I do honestly feel bad for the man you were responding to. If he is reading this then I want him to know that he is not a 'sinner'. That whether he is straight, bisexual or gay he does not deserve eternal punishment. He does not deserve 'hell'. He does not deserve any punishment in reality either. (Switching to 'you' rather than 'he' now) Your sexuality is fine whatever it is, no matter what the bible says. If someone or something is saying that you are hell bound or disgusting or sick then you need to stop listening to them or in this case reading it (unless you are on a killing spree then you are disgusting). The only thing that you're doing which is abhorrent is dismissing other people for no other reason than their sexuality. That is wrong. But please, from the center of my hypothalamus, (the part of my brain that controls emotion) don't hate yourself.
