P.Z 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. 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 “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!”

“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 trueand 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”

“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!!! =)”

“This man is my new 5 minute hero!”

“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. ”
