Features, Documentaries and Video Groups
Note: I need to do some housekeeping to remove videos which no longer exist on YouTube or elsewhere, so please bear with me and click on other links if a video does not play. Thanks.
This section contains features and documentaries, usually with multiple parts. It's worth taking the time to watch each part. I have now extended this section to group together videos which show different aspects of the same subject. In these cases the choice of video for the group is my own.
The Greatest Story Ever Told

Fitna the Movie: Geert Wilders' film about the Quran

Richard Dawkins - The Enemies Of Reason
Society appears to be retreating from reason. Apparently harmless but utterly irrational belief systems from astrology to New Age mysticism, and clairvoyance to alternative health remedies, are booming.

Derren Brown - Messiah

Why Won't God Heal Amputees?
Probably one of the most informative, logical, well-scripted, educational... pick out any word of praise and apply it here... series of videos about the delusion of God-belief that there ever was. And wouldn't you know, they just kicked this account off YouTube (another atheist is removed in mysterious circumstances). So what else can I do but showcase these excellent videos here?
Keep watching - I'll be adding more of them soon, right here.

The Most Hated Family in America
They call themselves the most hated family in the US and they picket funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq. So what did Louis Theroux make of the Phelpses after three weeks?
In any country, let alone one as patriotic as the US, few actions are as provocative as protesting at a soldier's funeral.
The Phelps family pickets mourners across the country, to mark what it describes as God's revenge on the US for tolerating homosexuality.
Their actions are in the name of the Westboro Baptist Church, which numbers 71 and is headed by "Gramps", preacher Fred Phelps. The church, which is based in Topeka, Kansas, mostly comprises his extended family.
Louis Theroux, himself no stranger to people with unconventional views, says the Phelpses are the most extreme people he has ever met. But in the following interview, he reveals how three weeks with them left him perplexed by their motivation.

If you think these people are just harmless nutjobs, you're making a fatal mistake.
