The more popular you get the more of these comments you'll get. On YT I think of them as the "Westboro peanut gallery." On some of the popular gay vids (including lesbian slash that would appeal somewhat to men) I've seen all kinds of preaching and profanity, and all this sounds pretty typical:
And you can't reason with them, you have to keep in mind that devout religion operates in a different part of the brain than reason (this has been shown to be true) and so you can't get them to examine their beliefs anymore than you could a schizo.
Just be aware that there's also a "troll" which posts things just to get a reaction. I've actually gotten pretty good at telling them apart now (if I'm not sure, and I'm curious, I'll click on their name and they'll usually have a post history that reveals them and a great many of them also love video games which is apparent on their YT page). This is a good metaphor for the internet troll:
In case you start to get a lot more more views than you should brace yourself for both.
