Actually a link to a few of his videos might be nice as it would be nice to decide if the article is fair. I suppose that he's known as a "jerk" in Christian circles?--BobNot Jim 16:42, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

It seems like he is a jerk no matter who you ask. But yeah, links would help. Tetronian you're clueless 16:53, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Why was this page recreated after it was deleted? --e|m|c [TALK] 20:45, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Looks like there was some debate here.--BobNot Jim 21:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
The issue was that it wasn't sufficient. Also, I'm having trouble finding some of the videos I wanted to upload. But Anonymous hates the guy, Thunderf00t mostly ignores him and hopes he'll go away, and coughlan has had a war with him.--Mustex 00:21, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
BTW, this video may be appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG0phv4ytrE&feature=related (keep in mind: that is an atheist in the video)--Mustex 00:23, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Also to be clear, Youtube's recent crackdown on him has caused him to take down alot of his more insane videos.--Mustex 00:36, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

BON's Christmas Carol addition - is it any good? Is there any point to mentioning it? Can the second half of the sentence be written better? ħumanUser talk:Human 18:03, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Pwnage Olympics[edit]

Actually, the Pwnage Olympics were the brainchild of coughlan666, not TheAmazingAtheist. — Unsigned, by: MykalOfDefiance / talk / contribs

Please sign your talk posts with four tildes, and if you threw a link to that in your edit comment I probably wouldn't have undone it. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:16, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Sorry that sounded rude. After all, you did add it to the talk page. I'll trust you and revert to your edit on the article. Thanks for helping! ħumanUser talk:Human 06:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
It's alright. I actually looked for the videos, but couglan erased them. Would linking to a video that states it's being entered in coughlan's olympics be an adequate source? MykalOfDefiance 16:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Deletion without consultation with the mob?[edit]

Blue, why did you delete this without any consultation with the mob? Theamazingatheist has the same mission that we do (at least, more or less) and is a major YouTube anti-creationist personality. Why would we delete someone like that from our pages? --Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised. 05:57, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Because apparently YouTube users are no longer welcome here... Scarlet A.pngtheist 08:25, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Either this article needs serious attention or it should be deleted until someone comes along who's interested in writing something good. The previous edit that ADK deleted looked nicer, but was pretty read like a puff-piece. Concernedresident omg!!! ponies!!! 23:19, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I know, it was a hasty rollback but it was mostly because I'd like to know why an edit of that size is being made in one shot - particularly with the reduction in word count. But I do agree that it needs attention and perhaps the BON edit was the right direction, I just maybe a little more explanation first. Scarlet A.pngtheist 23:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Nah, the reversion was probably the better of two equally unpleasant options. Makes me wonder why we don't have a template and category for articles that require general loving? It'd be useful, when browsing, to plop such a template on so that readers know that the article isn't what we consider to be up to snuff, and so that people interested can do some fixing. Concernedresident omg!!! ponies!!! 23:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
It shouldn't be deleted just because you don't like the content that it has... TheAmazingAtheist is the most subscribed to YouTube "Atheist", above Thunderfoot and DPRJones, who are also extremely well known. Thunderfoot has 128,899 subscribers as of the time I write this, while TAA has 197,913

subscribers. So question, should we delete the Abraham Lincoln article just because you think the article sucks? If you don't like the TAA article, then you should rework it, and improve it, rather than delete it. --Eira OMTG! The Goat be Praised. 06:34, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay. So RationalWiki is Encyclopedia Dramatica for atheists? Does that explain why this article is filled with opinion? 24.106.212.86 (talk) 21:46, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Other channels[edit]

Should TJ Does Life be mentioned here? It's what he typically uses to clarify his main videos without shouting. Why he doesn't do that on his main channel is anyone's guess, but I'd guess it's some sort of public perception thing. 217.211.88.20 (talk) 10:31, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
