In one answer you stated that you are still with your wife (the one discussed in your first video upload) and in another you stated that you were hopeful about finding a wife with whom you can have children. So... is there a Mrs. Skeptic? Are you polyamorous or something?

Ok... I was trying to keep my marital-status under-wraps because I didn't want people prying too much into my personal life... but that made things weird because girls kept hitting on me.
YES, I am married. There is a Mrs. Skeptic.

I remember you said you had a video about the negatives on atheist churches, will we ever see that? I think it would be great to watch.

I was referring to my first video. I talk about Atheism+ which was an atheist group that was very much like a religion.

What, in your opinion, is the funniest moment out of all your videos?

I don't know... Most of the stuff Megan Fox said was hilarious!
But the funniest thing I did? Maybe CSI Camelot?

Im an atheist, my dad know's this. Frankly i think he only holds onto religion because it gives him comfort, how can i deconvert him, great lord of atheism?

Some people either don't want to be deconverted or can't be...
There may be no way to do it.

You are very knowledgeable and I know that you have come from a religious background as you stated that a few times but I am wondering just what your credentials are? Do you have a science degree of some sort or do you just like to read and are self educated?

No, my degree isn't in science. I couldn't afford university.
I majored in history and art, but I've always been a big science geek and spent a lot of time learning as much as I could about it.

I am not sure if you have received this question yet, but i am curious. Godrules made a video responding to your video of him. He titled it (Answering The Armoured Smart Pants - Atheism Wears A Helmet) Will you respond back or is it not worth the trouble?

No.
He has made 3 videos now directed towards my one video responding to him. Video 1 was just mocking me, video 2 basically didn't address a single thing I said and video 3 (which is fun) is just baiting me.
I appreciate the attention from him, but if I wanted an arch nemesis, it would have to be someone a little more intellectually honest than GodRules.

What is your thought on the people who say "gay people should have a civil union instead of a marriage, that way they're basically given marriage but the religious people won't be angry, creating a happy medium"?

I honestly don't see the difference. If they are willing to allow them to be "legally" bound to each-other, why not just call it marriage? It's the same thing.

did you really believe in ghosts , aliens and stuff ? :D i have a hard time believing that... and what happened to your wife and a dog ? do you still take anti-depressants ?

It's true. It was part of the teachings in the cult...
The dog is a reference to my last internet endeavor. I was baiting people to see if anyone recognized it. I will be re-releasing some of that content when my website goes up.
My wife went through quite a ride, but I am still married to her and things are good now.
Yes. I have a chemical imbalance. Technically I have a mental illness.

Yes, childhood under a religious family is hard, but it's best to wait it out until you can live on your own.

What do you say to people who say the purpose of marriage is having kids, thus making gay marriage bad? (I think that's a terrible viewpoint btw, just wanted to know YOUR opinion.)

That's an argument from Religion.
Outside of religion, Marriage has no "purpose," other than tax-benefits and public status.
Plus, if that were the reason, women who are baron and men who have low sperm-counts shouldn't be allowed to marry. Why isn't the religious-right fighting to make infertile marriage illegal?

What advice would you give for someone to start doing atheist podcasts/youtube videos similar to what you, Logicked, and others do?

Just do what you like. Be the character you want to be.
People will tell you that you're derivative and a copy-cat, but you won't enjoy your work if you don't do it the way you want to do it.

If you could live in any fiction world, what would that be?

Middle-Earth, I think.
A perpetual middle-aged world with horses, Armour, wizards, Dwarfs and Elves.
Sounds gay, but I would really enjoy it.

As an atheist, I'm continually studying the workings of our universe. Though I never have the courage to speak out in my community about my scientific views. How did you get over this?

To be honest, I don't really care what other people think about me or my opinions... I don't know if I can really help you get over your fears or help you deal with any back-lash you receive, but I can tell you that if your opinions offend people than those people are not worth your time.

Where do you stand on the death penalty? Sorry if you've already been asked this

I don't have a strong opinion on the issue.
In a perfect world I wouldn't want it to be legal, but there is always an odd case where I feel it would be better if the criminal simply didn't exist anymore.

Do you think religion is man made? Since apologists don't seem to provide solid evidence for any form of deity, and most religious texts are used to oppress certain people or justify horrific actions.

I think it's pretty clear that all religion is the result of people taking "holy" texts seriously, not realizing they are just ancient people's ways of philosophizing and reasoning about how we came to be.

Shoe0nhead did a video about feminism with your shirt on. Does this mean you're anti-feminist? Is Shoe your friend/girlfriend?

That was awesome! I didn't expect that! I respect the hell out of Shoe0nhead! Damn smart girl!
No, we've never met. I'm actually a little surprised she likes my work...
I've never made any real public-statements about the feminism thing... I am not an anti-feminist, I am anti-crazy-people and anti-bad-ideas... and there just happen to be a shit-ton of crazy feminists with bad ideas.
I don't really like to even talk about feminism because it has a lot of baggage behind it and no matter what you say, people will only be pressing their own perspective of what they think Feminism is against your opinion... so I just like to talk about Social-Justice movements as a whole.
Watch my first video. You'll see I had a run-in with a social-justice group. The language they used to describe their group SOUNDED amazing. Richard Carrier himself said they are about equal rights, social-issues and whatnot. If that's all they wanted, I would still be on-board, but there was more to it.
These Social-Justice groups are very idealistic and idealists are extremely susceptible to being swept-up in Orwelian-Marxist style speech and thought control. It sounds crazy, I know, but I've witnessed it first-hand. Idealists get emotionally attached to their ideals and they attach that same emotion to leader-types who claim they share those ideals. These leaders are even more dangerous.
Some of these people take offence to honest questions, they take offence to differing opinions, they take offence to people even pointing out that they've made a tiny mistake in their assertion. Sometimes this offense is a narcissistic back-lash response to their paradigm being challenged, but sometimes it's because they've been conditioned to believe that their ideal is the only true ideal. Sounds like a religion, right?
Basically, these are not environments designed to create conversations and discussions about how to better society, they are environments where sociopaths and narcissists can climb on their soap-boxes and tell people what to think, what to feel, what to say and how to react to people who don't share their ideals. It's ultra-leftist and it's scary.

Would you give up like, your left arm to have it replace with a fully functional robotic arm? (Deus Ex: Human revolution style) Or would that be... Uncomfortable for you? Also, do you think at some point humans will join in with technology? Enhancing our bodies and brains? I wonder...

I would consider replacing limbs and organs if they failed, but not before that. I would rather keep all my biological parts.
Trans-humanism, it seems, is an inevitability, but I doubt I'd participate in it unless, again, my organs or limbs failed.

Am I stupid for saying that evolution is the product of an organism's environment, the natural selection that occurs due to competition as new mutated genes being introduced to the gene pool, and yes... a little bit of chance.

You're mostly right... but there is a lot more to it.
The environment is the biggest factor, but genetic-drift can happen even when a population is separated into two identical environments.
