Thunderf00t branched out from bashing creationism to discussing religion , atheism , philosophy and politics. In early , he challenged creationist and evangelist Ray Comfort to a discussion. The invitation was prompted by Comfort's stated desire to challenge prominent atheists, avoiding the question of Thunderf00t's "prominence" though his webpage has more subscribers than Comfort's Way of the Master channel.
Thunderf00t invited Comfort privately via email asking for a civil discourse on their views; after the e-mail bounced back, he then extended an invitation on Comfort's blog. This condition was eventually dropped, and the fight discussion was on.
Most viewers thought they'd see a debate where Comfort was systematically destroyed, but were disappointed as Thunderf00t remained calm and reasoned. He did unsettle Comfort by asking him to defend his argument that morality is rooted in the Bible against the hypothetical possibility that the Bible could have advocated pedophilia.
In July , he came back for seconds. Thunderf00t did better in this debate, arguing against Comfort's willingness to leap to eternal moral conclusions. Their conversation included a discussion of evolutionary and memetic explanations for the origin of religion. Towards the end of the series, Mason discussed his rationale for criticizing creationism.
The interview began with a discussion of the Iraq War and the WBC's best-known claim, that God kills American and British soldiers because of the " sinful " policies of both countries.
About a year following the interview, Megan left the church, explaining that she'd realized that dogmatic hate precludes constructive dialogue. Thunderf00t debated Eric Hovind at the Reason Rally. It hasn't really caught on outside of a few Thunderf00t fan-circles and his own videos, [11] although it does frequently get brought up on websites and forums discussing atheism or rationalism.
Following the censorship of South Park for depicting the prophet Muhammad , Thunderf00t was prompted to make videos critical of Islam more often. However, his initial video which can still be found in quite a few mirrors , was pulled down by a DMCA claim by Viacom due its brief use of a copyrighted South Park image without their permission to demonstrate the point.
His videos in May that criticized Islam alluded to a "sleeping giant"—clearly a reference to Isoroku Yamamoto. Dawahfilms insisted that no death threat was ever made and that it was a statement of self-defense.
Thunderf00t made a video featuring HealthyAddict and PZ Myers publicly revealing his name and lambasting DawahFilms for making their feud cross over into real life after accusing the latter of 'doc dropping' him. Before all of this, Thunderf00t had claimed that his employers already knew about his videos, and that he was in no way under any threat of being reprimanded for his behavior.
After Thunderf00t mouthed off about the so-called " Ground Zero mosque ", a wide range of critics called him out. Fortunately, it appears that Thunderf00t's focus has shifted back to debunking nonsense. He started with nuclear energy specifically items related to the Fukushima Daiichi reactor meltdown.
A few other topics include the acceptable risks of background radiation, as well as the thorium-powered car. He has also dismantled the "solar roadways" proposal that went viral in by claiming the costs in manufacturing would be insane, power consumption would be through the roof, and the whole system just wouldn't work.
Congrats to Thunderf00t! After the DI IDiots, this is the prime example of why "discussion" with the advocates of IDiocy is worthless, and why there is no cause to "respect" such people who will do anything to win and nothing to learn.
Most of them end up being only trolls whose hatred only deepens as they encounter legitimate reasons why they are wrong. Some of them have to be answered, there are few occasions in which to actually engage their endless dishonesty and treachery.
Just to hear VenomFang admit on camera that he lied "deliberately and repeatedly" is awesome beyond words. What an upstanding Christian! We always knew he was a scumbag liar, of course, but now there can't be any dispute about that point.
Hats off to Thundef00t! You have done the world a great service. May the halls of reason and light reverberate with your made-up internet name! Watching this little saga unfold was indeed a sight. I watched that video sometime last week I think and really had to hand it to Thunderf00t. That pipsqueak is really creepy too. If you go to Thunderf00t's page you can watch a vid of vx made-up like The Joker.
He's definitely got some pwnage issues. I hope not, half the fun of following Thunderfoot is his creativity in finding new ways to crush and humiliate VenomFangX. Best flamewar on the web. I must confess that I had gotten very tired of the spat between thunderfoot and venom.
I liked watching his debunking videos but after awhile it stopped being debunking and just pissing and moaning about Venom. Thunderf00t won, and got VenomFangX to concede and read a detailed apology on camera, which is now on Youtube. There's a lot to hate in the DMCA, but it does make someone who knowingly files a false infringement complaint liable for the legal fees and costs of the person the complaint is filed against.
If it was genuine contrition rather than fear of that liability that prompted the apology, then I'm a Cambrian Bunny. Thunderf00t really stuck to his guns, showed just how immature and clueless that VFX really is.
Though he should have pressed ahead legally and reported him to youtube, really pwnt that little bastard! Once again, Hitchens earns a small measure of my grudging respect. Too bad he wasn't tortured this time! I kid, I kid That little effin' brat was so smug in his ignorance of science that it made you want to slap him constantly. Thunderfoot was always calm and even keeled no matter what.
This only made the little brat more obnoxious over time. Basically the kid was as ignorant of the scientific method as one could be, and still walk, but was able to say his point-of-view in a manner that seemed to impress his fellow ignoramuses. I give the kid that much credit, as his artfulness when it came to bullshit was up there with Rembrandt and Raphael. In the end, however, it seems fear is the only truth this little prick could understand, and to lose his pulpit would have made the bitch cry like VenomFangX is such a supercilious prat that it was a huge delight to see him deliver the formal apology for his lies and misrepresentations.
I felt not the least sympathy for the little monster. My empathetic faculties clog up at the sight of him. I doubt that VFX will simply fade away, although he deserves to live on in mundane obscurity.
I suspect that instead he will reconstitute himself as a martyr who was tempted by an excess of Christian zeal into using foul means to smite the enemy. Jesus will forgive him, of course, and then VFX can preach anew. Just very, very carefully for a change. There is a very good reason why the VenomMeister was never able to outreason Thunderf00t: VFX does not have the ability to reason. I think that it is very important that people connect the dots whenever they refer to to this simple-minded creationist.
He is purely and simply with the emphasis on the simple a Kent Hovind clone. I call him Kent Hovind Junior.
Look at any of his videos: he actually parrots Hovind's sermons verbatim, including the same graphics and often the same vocal inflections. His teeny-bopper jesus-bopper? He also argues that rape is innate in some people, thus arguing for biological determinism and appeal to nature. He even says that when someone is drunk, they may have completely consent to having sex at the time, but the day after they decided they wouldn't have consented and were raped. Thunderf00t seems to be missing the point that someone who is drunk cannot consent to sex.
Also somewhat ironically, Thunderf00t claims that you cannot program rapists outside of their sexuality , like homosexuals. This is an argument you'd expect a Christian fundamentalist to make, not someone who is supposedly in favor of gay rights. By doing this, Thunderf00t is also ignoring date rape, as he states in his own video that violent repeated sexual predators only make up a minority of rape, which indicates Thunderf00t is ignoring data to suit his ideological antifeminist position.
In addition to this, Thunderf00t included jokes mocking the concept of trigger warnings in his video about Anita Sarkeesian's masters' thesis. Thunderf00t made a video protesting the "Ground Zero Mosque" which was not on Ground Zero [28] , which caused him to be labeled an Islamophobe. Somewhat ironically, Thunderf00t suddenly becomes a defender of women's rights when it comes to Islam , in addition to racist and offensive descriptions of Islamic traditions.
