Hello just joined forum, I recently deconverted to atheism, and am trying to be more vocal about my beliefs. This is a Video I recently made on the subject of evolution. Its only my second video, so hopefully you can take the time to take a look at it and maybe give me some feed back. If its not ok to post video's i understan and if the mods like they can delete it. Thank you.
I speak about how theist's butcher Evolution and how I feel we should go about exposing their ignorance and unwillingness to acknowledge what the Theory of Evolution actually explains. Thank you

Hi i dont think being confrontational is a good idea. In theory yes its good but you forgot to take into account the church's propaganda machine. Theyve told all the christians that atheists are evil and full of hate being confrontational plays into that lie and reinforces it.
The reason christians refuse any evidence is more propaganda the church has told christians evolution is a conspiracy by scientists working for satan. Any evidence we point to they simply claim were biased then post stuff from creationist sites as if they are unbiased.
This propaganda is the problem we need to understand every lie they are being told to come up with a plan of attack.
I'm curious as to what you mean by "confrontational."
Yea me too. A certain level of confrontation is unavoidable and inevitable, maybe draw the line at bursting into churches with a megaphone, although that would be fuckin fun!
.. But nah seriously, always good to see that this very real problem is been taken seriously by another. As Lmale has described though, they've built a humongous force-field of ignorance that, to their belief, is wrong and evil to take down.. for anything.. ever! This is the problem in pretty much every atheist v theist debate; the theists simply do not listen. They don't debate with an open mind, they don't even really debate; they come, they preach, they produce no explanations or evidence, other than referencing religious scriptures (as though they wouldn't be in favor of their religion, duuuuh!) .. But definitely a very important issue that needs addressing, educating the ignorant, understanding that it's actually in their best interests, and everyone else, to understand how life adapts and evolves.
Something that happened last night illustrates that point.
A christian told me he had 'proof' the fossil records do not support evolution i had to ask for his source (which an athiest would have provided along with the claim) turned put to be a 50 year old paper that was refuted soon after it was published.
I then asked him for an explaination of the fossil record that clearly shows man evolving he gave none.
