The ark in Kentucky was damaged by flooding a couple of years ago, which I find hilarious.
The irony is delicious. 😂🤣
Don't they see that as a sign?
If it weren't for irony, I couldn't face the future. This example will be good for weeks! Thank you. 😄😂😄
They wanted to put a zoo in the ark but the smell was so bad because the vents were not strong enough to keep the tourists from getting sick.
@@quakers200 Ham's apparently in some legal/financial trouble over it too, from what I've seen.
Tax exemptions for religious institutions means they don't have to support National Defense, local police, fire departments, etc. but they surely benefit from them. Guess who picks up the tab.
Many churches are also actively promoting political candidates, which is supposed to be illegal. Trying to influence voters to elect people who will promote their religious values through laws for our society is an attempt to force their doctrine upon us all.
Well, as Mr. Black would (and has) express it....SON OF A BITCH!!!!!
So why TF does promulgating fantasy qualify for a tax exemption in the first place?
@@rsteeb For the same reason it's almost impossible to elect an atheist to any national office, religion has become a litmus test for the populace. The people in position to check the ever expanding power of religion won't do so because they fear losing office and the backlash that would inevitably follow the announcement of an investigation of a religious organizations practices. The persecution complex would reach heights never seen before. I wish there were methods for an ordinary citizen to pressure the legal system into investigating what appear to be obvious violations of the law, but the system doesn't work like that
"Churches" which support political ideology should not get the tax exemption.
"watching The Flintstones as if it was a documentary" is still my favorite Lewis Black line.

As a teacher, I have never heard anything more true than Mr. Black's statement in reference to the students of today, "Be afraid. Be very afraid."
Entitled bubble wrapped snow flakes with helicopter parents. It's not going to end well.
It’s a damn shame. That a country who supposedly controls its own destiny. Allows public education to get so bad. That a lot of students can’t even read. It’s our political system that has f’ed this country up. Corruption is rampant.
But his take on the 2020 election,and climate change is way off. 97% is the thing that gives him up.
The problem of students today is due to the problems of the students from yesterday. It's all one big domino chain falling down since religious fundamentalism and nationalism started.

Since you're kind enough to warn others I assume that you don't share their limited view on life. How do you keep going? Is it just a matter of keeping your head down and moving forward? I have been in situations where I know I don't fit in, like having to attend Pentecostal church services for a week and a half by our care givers while our parents were on vacation. Even at the age of 11 I knew that I didn't belong there, didn't share their thinking.

Went to nothing but Catholic schools in Texas (college was my first time out of them), read every single book in the Bible, had to write frickin' research papers about it during high school.
And yes, I am an atheist for it, have been left permanently damaged by the experience, and I *love* using the Bible against evangelicals because nothing infuriates evangelicals more than someone who actually knows what is in the Bible (it easily surpasses their antisemitism, Islamaphobia, and gay-bashing).
My son told me once that he was an atheist. I said, 'No, you're not. You're agnostic.' He says, 'What's the difference?' I said, 'Atheists aren't mad at God.' We had quite a spirited discussion after that.
If you're interacting with a person who's an antisemitic, they aren't are a real evangelical. Same for an Islamaphobic person.
Telling someone that the Bible says (and it does, since you've read it,) that people whom pursue homosexuality as a lifestyle probably aren't going to heaven, isn't gay-bashing.

@@theonlytruetuhlulah9062 Thank you for proving my point. What's next, you going to through the same single verse from Leviticus, all while leaving out how the first 18 verses of the chapter it is from pertain to spelling out all kinds of incest? Or how in the next chapter over, it states, "do not put on a garment woven with two different kinds of thread"? And I find it funny how evangelicals always quote the Old Testament while, outside of Revelations, taking only one or two verses out of anywhere in the New Testament and always out of context.
How about you crack open that Bible for once - you know, that book that's been sitting around collecting dust for many years now? At the very least, doing so will let the bats out. I'd then suggest you read and compare it to the Torah or the Quran, but you'd probably burn those before you'd ever contemplate reading them.
@@theonlytruetuhlulah9062 Oh, and one last detail that you probably didn't know, the last book of the Bible was estimated to have been written around 200 AD, while the very first Bible ever compiled - yes, *compiled* - was in 400 AD, and that is after they spent years poorly translating every book selected into Latin.
You can get any book to say anything, especially when you have pretty big language barriers to help hide what was originally written - after it had already been altered and changed over centuries of oral tradition before finally being written down.
Good for you!!
The writer of that letter is absolutely hilarious!

Was taught the Bible at the same time I was watching Wild Kingdom with my mom (a naturalist)...My challenging questions to my Sunday school teacher regarding the story of Noah alone, she finally threw up her arms told me it's a matter of faith. My next statement was in regard to Santa, the Easter Bunny and tooth fairy my disappointment and loss of faith I held in my folks when I discovered fantasy vs reality. She asked me to leave her class. The following reality based discussions with my mother were fascinating...in a nutshell, she told me the more I exposed myself to various experiences, question what I'm told the more you learn to discern fantasy (ie misinformation) and reality, the more faith you will develop in yourself and your ability to function in the real world. To say I was a gadfly throughout my public education would be an understatement. By the time passed both my folks passed, pain in the ass that I presented, I actually had learned a thing or two from them, perhaps as important they actually learned a thing or two from me.
Hello Jane and how are you doing?
I lost my cultural cherry in the 8th grade. I went to school for three more years and messed with their heads as much as I could. Ya had to be careful. They would hit you with a board.
I still have PTSD from the whole rotten experience. 😂😂
I was an independent and critical thinker from a very early age challenging my mother's desire to indoctrinate me into religion. Later in my teens my mother chose religion over family by joining the JWs. Sure she was there and kind but not willing to be a truely active participant in my journey through youth. Truth of the matter is religion is a crutch for the indoctrinated, weak- minded individuals who lack the mental toughness, intelligence, and fortitude to succeed in a challenging and often harsh world. If you think some higher being is there like a big brother watching over you then maybe you won't crumple under adversity or succumb to temptation. Of course the later is laughable because religious individuals are some the most hypocritical individuals. Whether you are grossly overweight, promiscuous, debt-ridden, lazy, etc. you are always forgiven for such sins/indiscretions so there is less guilt. All I have to say is what a crock of shit. The only biblical verse to me that has overarching relevance is "You reap what you sow."
Yeah, I was one those too in Sunday School, always asking questions with answers that fell flat, even went to the Preacher with a few. Also ran out of the Church when my Mom tried to make me join.

I got talked into going to the Creation Museum in Kentucky and it was definitely a Hoot. Large numbers of church busses in the parking lot discharging people who were excited to be at the Promise Land. They had a huge gift shop selling all types of God related trinkets. There was a Zipline on the grounds so they could go zipping for Jesus. They had a phenomenal garden so everyone could see what the actual Garden of Eden looked like for Adam & Eve. They sold food and ice cream cones just to make sure the believers didn’t starve while checking out where they were created.

You’re sure right. I couldn’t get over how commercialized it was. The admission price was what I considered a ripoff. Maybe you heard that they built a replica of The Ark not far away from the Creation Museum. I haven’t been there but I’m impressed the Noah did leave the blue prints for it.
Does the Creation (&/or Ark) museums illustrate the Biblical incest "necessary" to populate the earth? Let's build a "Three Little Pigs Meet Goldilocks" museum.

The child did not succumb to "gods-believers".
Good job.
So far so good. Now if he can just manage to get through life not afraid of death and the nothingness after it (that we aren't around anymore to even be conscious of) and the need to run to an imaginary parent figure all his life (use therapy and learn self soothing and emotional and stress processing techniques instead), the kid should hopefully be okay.
I'm not anti - religion actually, it all depends on how and what someone uses it for. As an excuse not to think for themselves and to not rely on themselves and common sense and science, as an excuse to judge others in order to feel better about themselves instead of just fixing their stuff, etc, aren't high on my list.

Does that modern arc they built with tax incentives also include the 4000 species of termite that the original apparently had? How are they doing after a year?
Christian mythology was just plagiarized from early works like Sumerian and other Middle Eastern and Indian cultures, and the names were changed (notice all the similarities for example between Krishna and Christ). The flood stories were all told in the Epic of Gilgamesh, as well as many other culture's stories long before anyone dreamed up any of the Judeo-Christian ideologies. Then, the church spent centuries retconning the stories anyway.
We'd be in a much better world if people could throw off the yoke of slavery that is religion and learn to think for themselves and take personal responsibility for their own actions.
Logic isn't going to reach such people. Being told what to think and not being accountable is a huge subconscious drawcard. Add to it the old quote, it's easier to fool people than convince them they've been fooled... the vast majority aren't prepared to take that on board and grow and learn and move on. Remember, all religion are stupid, except that particular person's.
It is more complicated than that. Religion is not the only thing holding so many people back. Remove religion from their lives, cold turkey, and watch them fall apart. They won't grow; they will fall apart. Lack of true education = ongoing ignorance. They need to be educated to think for themselves in a manner that does not touch upon their religion. Difficult, yes; impossible, no. Only then will they, on their own, shed the snake skin that has defined their reason for existence...
Lol removing religion will not improve things. People will make politics their religion, and be just as tribal as ever.

NKJV? plain language, new english, american english, picture Bible? it's a Member's Manual to support the Brand. the Brand Mascot does MAGIC to Attract the gullible first and pulls down old karma teachings (duoaywhtduy) to catch the ''smart'' ones and then gives you a Big Fan Fiction Finish WE WIN EVERYTHING !!!
Hes just like his kin George yeah George Carlin.
Jewish humor is Jewish wisdom
"The Flintstones" is a documentary.
*laughs* and the Baghdad Gita is an actual factual travel memoir.
'. . . goddamn Old Testament and then Louis was struck down and the show ended. . .'
Nothing funnier ever!
Nothing makes me laugh harder than religion.
I’m an escaped now proudly disfellowshipped Jehovah’s Witness.
Be More Atheist and we all may live.
Idk I know some atheists that are pretty douchey. We should just follow the manta of Bill and Ted, “Be Excellent To Each Other”, religious or not.
Strength to you, former sister. The delusion was a comfortable place to be, but the smoke, mirrors and strings sort of gave it all away for me. Long life and happiness to you.
It's real, you will find out lol
@@knockout9011 how do you know it's real?
@@davebeach2343 Personal experience.
I sense satire and belief, as Lewis has always known.
I love Lewis. I really needed this laugh.
i love it..the bible is just that...a book full of stories..thats all..
Bible translates to "books."
The bible is the most rebooted comic series of all time 😂
U silly communist
Goddamn right Aaron! 🤘🏻
This is the irrational Mockery that makes no sense that makes it impossible to see Atheists as Rational. The Bible is not a Comic Book.
@No Chance Without Pasta - It is not a Fictional Fantasy, an You aren't being Rational. You simply repeat This from other Atheists.
@@skwills1629 Stop getting so touchy. If you want to believe in an invisible god in the sky, then you go ahead and do that. But please stop confusing that with being rational.
People think this is comedy, but this truth is so important.
And then yet it goes farther in the thing about the ark makes me absolutely cry lolololol 😂😂😂
Wow...He sure does nail my feelings down!
Lewis Is the Truth Bomb , Aloha Braddah.
Of course men and dinosaurs coexisted! Have you not seen _The Flintstones?_ Sheesh!
5:10 More decades ago than I can count, I had a small book from Readers Digest composed of bits from the magazine. One was a quiz where you were given a quote, and required to identify whether it was from the Bible, Shakespeare, or Confucius. Admittedly, I was much younger then _(much_ younger!), but, even though I recognized most of the quotes, I didn't exactly score brilliantly. So, it's nothing new.
If you ever get the chance definitely see him live it is fantastic
Lewis, wishing you a fun, happy, healthy, and abundant holiday season and New Year. You are the best.
Hello 👋 beautiful 🌹 how are you doing?
I needed a good laugh tonight and I sure got it. Lewis delivers as always!
Hello Karen and how are you doing?
The ark is in Williamstown and it screwed the town over. That place is a joke.. also don't call it a museum.
If it were not for Mr. Black I would have already shot myself in the face years ago. You sir are my spirit animal.
As a Religious Left & a Lewis Black fan I must confess I really needed this video, I feel purged. A compilation of scripture, bad attitude & humor all rolled into 1. Thank you, Mr. Black.
Totally agree. Bravo 🙌
Now if you could just drop the religion altogether, that would be a real purge. Come on, you don't believe in any other god but your own, so what difference would it make to abandon that one last god ?
@@TheNefastor You probably just asked for way too much lol. In these matters the logic never applies unfortunately.
@@VengefulAngeI doesn't apply to either side. Most people like you and the one you replied to have over inflated egos
A religious left = you're one of the people who needs to be held physically responsible for the downfall of this country....
Omg hire the cheesecake dude! He was brilliant
Polynesian Bahai? There could be such a thing but the Bahai faith came out of Iran and they believe in two prophets who succeeded Jesus and Muhammad. The first was some mullah called 'the Bab' (the Gate) and the last (thus far) was a mullah named Bah'alluah. Like many other religions they're expecting another guy to come. I'm just some renegade Tantrik Yogi with strong mystic and metaphysical leanings, thus, an empathy and affection for all of us who follow the inner path. (By the way, Lew, you do some mighty find preachifying yourself and I've enjoyed harkening to your words for quite some years now. God bless you, brother.
Lesson: cheesecake is the key to world peace.. or World War III (depending on who's involved).
😂
SNICKER ETCETERA!!!
The Golden Girls were onto something.
I refused to attend 'religious studies' at 10 years old, after an old drunk priest told us endless awful stories of torture and hell.
Even as a child I realised it was misogynist nonsense.
EXCELLENT! (as ususal!). Pinning the mythologies to the wall is always fun! [SHS 1967]
11:53 - it's actually about 45 minutes away in Williamstown KY. It gets totally confused with the Creation Museum located in Petersburg KY which is closer to Covington KY. Covington is more notable for its Living Meth Museum which you can view any time day or night just by driving down Madison Ave and any of its side streets. Wind your way around to Newport KY and you'll have seen enough human wreckage to scare your kids away from drug use of any kind. A better teaching moment and no time wasted on make-believe scam attractions like the Ark and Creation Museum.
The Ark is actually a fan fiction of Gilgamish (not sure I spelled that right) and it wasn't a world flood, just a flood
But even that story was itself a fan fiction of anther story about the same thing, a guy with a dream to build a floating craft that could defeat floods
Amen with the Constitution. If you made it through grade school and you can use a dictionary, you can read the Constitution. It ain't that hard. Thank You, Lewis.
