Meyers 'I like this guy's style' (link to blog)'
An atheist goes for a walk and is accosted by a couple of
Christians, and he defends himself…no, more than that, he goes
on the offensive. It's great to watch. This is what we all have
to do: no more appeasement, no more making excuses for the
foolishness of others, just smack down their yapping noises
aggressively, confidently, without compromise. And he laughs
good-naturedly at their crazy ideas. Perfect!"
"This is an absolutely classic youtube video. I happened to
watch it back in 2006 when it was newly uploaded, and
I think it was one of the first
youtube atheism videos. "
"This is
one of my favorite
videos on youtube."
"PFUNK YOU PUT
WHAT I THINK IN WORDS." I don't have the
intelligence to put my thoughts in words so it nice to hear
someone put some of my thoughts into words. Please don't stop
making videos man.
You put complex
thoughts into simple words that we can understand. thank u"
"
Is this the first atheist video on
youtube.
I'm sure I heard somewhere that it was."
"
You are an
inspiration. II've heard many pro-atheist arguments, but none of them seem to
come close to the way you just grab one's attention. The
"Atheist Walking" video is such a great defense. I've heard
many pro-atheist arguments, but none of them seem to come close
to the way you just grab one's attention. The popular success
that your videos have enjoyed is surely
a reflection of your
work's relevance and importance to society. Logic and reasoning
have seldom had such an ally, and they have seldom needed it
more. Keep up the good debate. this guy is really smart! i never heard a better explanation of
this well done!"
"
Atheist Walking was one of the first videos I saw on YouTube
when I first started exploring it.
Back then I had no idea?
there were atheists on YouTube, and I thought "Wow, you can post
this on YouTube? Cool."
"Kinda funny how they " theist" think of us. But
Jeff you
represent atheist well."
"the walking video was awesome!
You've had a big influence on a lot of people, PFUNK, including
me. I've had your 'walking' video featured on my web site
since... forever, and never tire of watching it. And as one of
the original YT 'old school' atheists I salute you thank -you-
for posting it!"
"How Are you Jeff? First off i love your videos!
Your Atheist
walking video really pushed me over the fence and landed me on
atheism. I thank you for that!"
"Message from England I have just been watching random videos on Youtube and Atheist
walking caught my eye. Following that I watched your two partner
as well on some of your theories and thinking. After watching
these, i feel like I have so much to say to you,
but am just
right now taken a back at how much respect and appreciation i
have for you."
"smartest man on Youtube.
Most kudos go for not getting pissed off at and/or
sarcastic...Nice job."
"PFUNK YOU PUT
WHAT I THINK IN WORDS." I don't have the intelligence to
put my thoughts in words so it nice to hear someone put some of
my thoughts into words. Please don't stop making videos man.
You put complex
thoughts into simple words that we can understand. thank
u"
"Cool, a respectable atheist who instead of insulting you on
your beliefs, simply rejects it because of lack of proof."
"Im so glad to see that there is somebody on Youtube who can
break down thier disbelief in a way that's
intellegent and
articulate with out comming off as condescending."
Wow I love this guy!
Definitely one of my favorite Atheists here
on youtube!
"this man is a genious.This is an american right? at
least some americans have some brains, no offence"
"Dude I just want to thank you so much for speaking your mind.
There is so much hate and distrust in the world for
non-religious people like our selves it sometimes feels like a
losing battle. But
when I find
someone else who believes what I do, speaks it so fluently and
is obviously very well educated it reminds me that even
though I may be apart of the minority I'm on the right side."
"This is the
first brotha atheist I have ever seen... awesome!"
"if everyone watched this video and was more open minded towards
atheism,
things
would change in this country, well done PFUNK, atheism
FTW"
"Why don't all
humans think like this? I guess that's asking too much
from humanity, in all its stupidity."
"This guy's
enlightened. We need more black atheists. Spread the word
brother".
"man this guy said it all!
this has got to
be the best debate I've ever seen and the title of this video is
perfect, PERFECT. I'm amazed and privileged to have found this
little gem of a video. The Christians in this video used
every tactic they had against this atheist and he was articulate
AND he listened--neither of which will you see from the
religious."
"Great walk & talk:
Clear and
articulate with no yelling or pointless arguing."
"I've said this before, I seriously think that
you are one the
most legendary people ever PFUNK! "
"i LOVE this guy...
He
isn't over-complicating his philosophy nor his defense of it..And
I love how he admits that living forever doesn't appeal to
him.... Not to sound racist ('cause im absolutely not) but
it is SO
refreshing to see a black man with a sports jersey on
TALKING LIKE THIS..being smart is cool! "
"
I have a lot of
respect for a black athiest, their's a lot of cultural
pressure on them to go to church etc. Keep your logic strong my
brother."
"
This guy is
sharp as a tack. Imagine if he had time to prepare his
thoughts. Who is this guy?
He's my new hero."
"
That is a very
intelligent man talking!"
"
man this is guy
is amazing"
"
I couldn't have
argued against religion any better while walking down a
street.
He's a
natural debator."
"P Funk, you rock!
The world needs
more people like yourself with logic and common sense.
Good on ya mate!"
"
Your a great
guy you got every point. And you sorta remind me of
Samuel L Jackson."
"this atheist is awesome"
"
this guy is
awesome. very intelligent and able to disprove everything
that religious nut says"
"
Atheist Walking
is an awesome video. You are my new best friend..."
"Pfunk is smart, down-to-earth & doesn't suffer fools.
Very likeable
guy."
"Lately I haven't been watching your vids, but I owe you much,
Jeff.
Of all the
steps that led me to atheism, watching you famous Atheist
Walking vid in late Dec 2006 was probably THE step, a wonderful
demonstration of free speech and free thinking. Whenever
I browse my profile on Youtube and glance at my subscriptions, I
see PFUNK1 in the first place and smile."
"
The original
Atheist Walking vid is one of my favorite vids of all time."
"
man you're the
best , ive been a long time subscriber but this is the
first time(at least i think it is) im posting a comment on your
page"
"
you're the first
person i've wanted to subscribe too, and i did. you resonate
intellect, but what i like the most is that you have a Critical
way of thinking, you doubt. i'm like that, and you're the
first person i've seen here on youtube that are like that. so
respect and a big fat kudos from someone similar in another part
of the world."
"
I love this guy.
I say we start a church of P Funk. There is obviously one
intelligent person..."
"I agree with everything P Funk said.
I love to see
this screened in a church and followed by a discussion"
"This guy's on top of things! I can't think on my feet like
that."
"This guy is awesome!!!
If there were more people as clued up as
he is, then the world would be a much better place"
"I now understand why GS gave you a shout out. Respekt!
You inspire me."
"
Rare to see a brotha preaching reason, science, philosophy and
love."
"PFUNK1, you make way too much sense.
I love your style."
"That black guys actually
very clever wrong
or right."
"This guy fucking is awesome"
""P Funk, you really ARE #1!"
"p funk is my new hero"
"I still love this video.
5 stars"
"LOL!
I am a
Christian but this guy ruled! He's awesome! I liked how
he didn't try to
ridicule the believer, but he argued with reason."
"Love ya Jeffery..you are the shit dude.
Always keepin it
real"
"This guy is awesome.
He knows
christianity waaay better than the christians he's debating,
and he hangs them out to dry."
"What a wonderful man!
I wish there were
more people like you in the US!"
"
you sir are an
intelligent articulate individual. Way to stand by your
belief."
"
P FUNK for
office..... A few more common sense people like that and
America would be a lot better off!"
"Hey, cool video!
Really thought provoking, and balanced."
"LOL! This video is awesome!"
"So
this is where
Greydon Square got that sound bite in his a song. Great
video."
"Oh man,
you are
the coolest dude I have ever seen. haha wow man, keep it
up."
"
PFUNK1 speaks
the truth, strong and clear."
"wow...didnt think the guy wearing the "p-funk" jersey would be
the voice of
reason in this video"
"How can I pray to, worship P-FUNK?
This man is THE
MAN!"
"This video is great!
His rationality
and ability to think critically makes me very proud to be
a member of the human race!"
"This guy is awesome. Has very good points its awesome."
"I love this guy, I seriously wish I knew him in real life."
"
If there is a
personal God, that man deserves salvation just for his great
intellect."
"Pfunk1 is my 'extraterrestrial brotha!'
Keep on posting
this good shit! Preach it brotha Jeffery!"
"P-Funk is god!!!"
"this guy clearly knows what he's talking about."
"Good on you, PFUNK.
Stick to your guns and stick to reason."
"I wish everyone would think like you =]"
"This guy is great "
"Wow, I'm surprised. Most african american people believe in God
and Christianity. As an Atheist myself,
I take pride in
seeing this guy defend his belief of science and lost promise of
religion. Religion is bullshit."
"Wow. This guy is pretty good."
"P FUNK1 KILLS THEM WITH KNOWLEDGE"
"This is
one of
the best videos ever!"
"Excellent Video!"
"I wanna hug this guy! :-)"
"That was amazing, greatest video ever."
"
I think this was
one of the first atheist videos on youtube"
"Dude you're my new hero.
Everything you
said was true and NO Christian can give one bit of
evidence to prove otherwise."
"
What a dazzling
display of logic and reason all from a dude who's just
walking down the street. How refreshing."
"
wat a fucking
legend this guy is. smartest black guy ive ever seen"
"The man is a hero. "
"you're the fuckin man P FUNK. good stuff, brother"
"damn brother that speech was uplifting. i was we as black
athesit were heard more often, it so dam rare"
"P funk is the man! 5 stars"
"The world needs more people like this guy!!! Please keep at it
man"
"
Well Spoken! A
clear mind in a foggy world!"
"
bravo atheist walking. congrats!
i love it. i'm glad people can speak out about
this. thanks for posting it."
"Ahahahaha, this video is pretty awesome.
Love how absolutely cool PFUNK stays the whole time,
keeping up with and parrying the two other guys, can't catch him
off guard!...
Also love how there's
no venom from anybody. Too many atheist vs.
theist discussions are overshadowed by senseless hostility"
"Guy being interviewed is my new hero. P Funk jersey just adds
to his awesomeness!"
"
Wow the way you say it makes
religious people sound really incompetent. Good
job."
"The truth said from a guy walking."
"
I really really liked this video.
Sums up how it is explaining why faith is no where near enough
for saying "goddidit."
"This guy knows what he is talking about. Good for him!"
"This is great! I admire your attitude.
You stay very cool under fire, and you really know your
bible... Way to go. Keep it up!!!!!"
"
This guy is really smart.
He starts off by making a brilliant point that "Paul created
Christianity more than Jesus did." This is true, and any theist
should be able to acknowledge this."
"I'm so glad I found your channel.
You are
seriously one of the most intelligent atheist voices on youtube.
Thank you for making me feel less alone."
"
Your video "walking atheist" is the one that
made me think about atheism and my belief's, the
one that finally did it was zakiechan's video "atheist" , after
that I came to my realization, that i was an atheist."
"A black atheist is more rare than a black pearl."
"This is how it's done.
There's no hate,
no animosity. Just lively argument."
"One of my favourite theism/atheism videos"
"props to p funk. he has philosophy, not god. thank you for
asking for evidence p funk.
i don't
know of a helluva a lot of black people that speak in this way,
to be blunt, and this is refreshing."
"P Funk is the coolest motherfucker out there"
"Dude, P Funk's blood is made of logic."
"preach it brotha! got his facts straight and everything haha.
such a well prepared argument".
"
P Funk you are an awesome person
who makes a lot of sense"
"omg, how have i not seen this guy yet? instant friend and sub"
"that there, is
a very clever man
walking who knows his stuff."
"Its every rednecks worst nightmare....an educated black man!"
"His appearance is misleading. He's
surprisingly intelligent."
"
I was gonna not watch this but I'm
glad I did. This guy is smart"
"Wow. Your ability to just roll with them and tear down every
one of their arguments while you're walking someplace is
amazing!
I wish I could think on my
feet like that."
"
Hugs from Brazil man.
Love u!!! =)"
"Right on Pfunk1. Never be afraid to speak your mind! I am
subscribing to you !"
"dude that guy is
awesome"
"I LOVE THIS GUY! IM SUBCRIBING BRAH!"
"This man is
my new 5 minute hero!"
"Finally, another fellow Black Atheist."
"the atheist guy was very smart and had knowledge..."
"It brings a smile to my face when I see another black atheist.
I'm a black agnostic atheist so take my word for it when I say
religion has my race by the balls."
"Well done, sir. "
"
No wonder why he carries a #1 on
his t shirt.. He's the chosen one!!! hahaha..
Excellent, I support everything he said.. "SHOW ME EVIDENCE!"
that's it!.."
"
P Funk you're phenomenal.
You may be moving away this christer but he know he's badly
wounded by the truth. "
"woah, this guy knows his shit."
"if i were to find this man on the street, i would probably do
the same thing this guys did.
seems
like a very fun and intelligent man to talk to"
"ahhhhh he's so great this guy!"
"Im surprised, this guy is smarter than he looks. I thought he
would have been the christian. Im glad there are people from all
over the world that are questioning their beliefs"
"
Very smart man.
Would love to chat sometime!"
""Paul created Christianity more than Jesus"
this guy knows what he's talking
about."
"LOL

intelligent."
"Spoken from the mouth of P Funk 1!"
"
This guy should be God! PFUNK is
cool and intelligent!"
"P funky is the shiznet!"
"This guy is awesome."
"He is a smart man."
"=] lol so glad i found this channel.keep it up bro"
"
Atheism and a Parliament/Funkadelic reference...made my day, that has :)"
"P Funk is
a real black role model."
"Pfunk, you rock! I am impressed! To improvise such clear rebuttals on the street while walking
indicates you are well informed and can (literally) think on your feet! keep walking tall! Props!"
"Thank you. I love your Atheist Walking video. Thanks, man."

racist way possible"
"

"...BOOM. Ownage."
"I agree with this guy 100%."
"I love that guy."
"Badass."
"this guy is speaking sense!!!"

physics, astronomy, cosmology, quantum physics, quantum chromodynamics,
antimatter, etc, etc! It's Awesome that you love life, and study

"LUV U PFUNK1!! keep spreading rational thinking........... "
"I feel sad to say that you are the first black atheist that I
have met but
I am glad that
I have met you keep up the good work man, you kick ass."
"This brother is the "walking" example(pun intended) of why
Atheists score 5.89 IQ points higher than religious
believers(i.e. creationists, Bible literalists, ID advocates
etc)...
Shout out to PFunk.
Great debate, bro."
"
P Funk is one of the few
African Americans who really broke free of all shackles of
slavery! HE RULES!!!RELIGION IS SLAVERY!
"I don't understand why the FUCK I haven't subscribed to you
yet. Glad I have now...
He's

"Respect man, that was cool and funny :)"
"I love black atheists! Kudos to this man!"

pizza with you. Keep on truckin' my fellow atheist."
