It's because of this man and others like him that presented logical evidence and debates that I no longer believe in the god delusion it's so freeing I wanna cry right now. I was so lost so bound by religion and had so much fear that I was so depressed and I would call out to god to help and change me and I got no answers. All I can say is I got the answers to god and it's bullshit ,except comparing god to bullshit would be an insult to bullshit.
Actually, I already had the similar thoughts or questions Matt talked about a long, long time ago. In fact, I had even more from the Genesis alone. Yet I did not tell anyone but kept it to myself. Maybe just worried what if I'm wrong.
Shane Wilson Needy, jealous and always seeking unwarranted praise and adulation. Even your dreams are no longer your own, they must be his. Josef Fritzl took a leaf out of his book.
Kitty BooBoo I'm really glad you're out of it but many other people would claim that Allah, Krishna, Kuan Yin or other gods/goddesses have got them out of abusive relationships. I don't think your experience is good evidence for Christianity. I would agree though that the Jesus of the New Testament is a vast improvement on the God of the Old Testament.
kabivose Yeah, what is the story? I keep seeing You Tube Christians discounting the entire Old Testament. So, what I want to know: Same God? New God? I think they need a Newer Testament to clear up a bunch of issues. Maybe, in this one, God could have a few lucid moments. Visit the All New All Knowing Original Jesus #53 on Face Book for the inside scoop.
Kitty BooBoo Kitty, I am very glad you got out of the abusive relationship because nobody needs to be in one, and I do understand that they can be extremely difficult to get out of. But I doubt Jesus or any god had anything to do with it. Perhaps your belief in said god motivated you to so, but it was you that did it.
Matt, thank you so much for being one of the voices that helped me find a freedom I could have never imagined while I was a christidiot. What my education began, you and so many others finalized through your bravery to take on society's biggest and oldest bully. Raising a glass for Hitch.
Good comment. As someone who has met Matt, I can report that he will tell you that he didn’t necessarily free you, you listened and feed yourself. He will tell you that he has told many people the same thing he told you and they would not listen to him. You were willing to listen and be logical, just freed yourself. That is what Matt tells people when they thank him and say that he did it.
@Calvin Harrison - That is true, yet he said "should be taught at bible study in churches." Which would imply that the people going to these places are subscribing to a certain religion as opposed to just believing in a god.
God the inexplicable and ungraspable, the Holy Spirit cut down to human size and expressing Itself through the collective subconscious i.e. Syncretic spiritual historical determnism = Jesus and year 0 from which we recounted our historial years. Syncretic spiritual climatic determinism: Jonah in the belly of the fish. Etc I must be casted in a bag in the water at 72 (Think of Jonah). Sign that God will calm the climate. A double rainbow should appear (Think of Noah). I've come before Mohammed. I am Alif Laam Meem of the Quoran, 3 letterds only God knew the meaning. (think of Jesus) I live in Montréal. Come and see us.
And to think Matt barely scratched the surface with all the contradictions within this god delusion. He couldn't even point out all the contradictions that manifested themselves while he was pointing out the contradictions.The layers of contradictory BS runs deep. When you start peeling back the layers of nonsense, you just run into more of the same. It's hard to know when to stop, because nonsense is the gift that keeps on giving. LOL! Good job Matt
Well that was spot on. The utter ridiculousness of the Bible done in the first person. What a Fantastic idea. I wish I'd thought of it. This could be the springboard for a LOT of funny.
27:00 Maybe the reason Yahweh always spoke through other people was because his mic cuts out when he addresses large audiences for more than 27 minutes at a time.
god- Don't eat from that tree or you will die. adam- god, whats die? god- eve you will suffer painful child birth. eve- god, whats a child? and whats a childbirth?
Christianity. It's all about your cartoon thinking ability. No child will scrutinize a cartoon while watching it. Some kids go outside and study nature for themselves. The modern world has less room for outdated bronze age ideas proven over centuries of power struggles not to work for everyone. Many years ago I knew I was playing a memorized role like an actor singing church songs every week for the purpose of impressing other well dressed families. That's how a child thinks. I still like my occasional cartoon thinking that breaks the laws of nature. I'm glad these three gentlemen are so busy drawing such large crowds. This is GREAT !!
I would love to show this to my mom and her wing nut sister but they wouldn't even watch it more than a few minutes and call it blasphemy, instead of considering just how abusive and evil the god of the Bible is. Although they both love to give me reading material about modern stories of Christian believers that they think will convert me. Moreover, if their religion is true, they shouldn't care about anyone criticizing it. That's what I never got when I was raised in Christianity.
@@islamisonlytruth1610 are you a christian? If so, they believe Jesus was the son of god and also god, trinity... and it doesn't matter. My point still stands. the god of the bible, Jesus's Dad, the creator of the universe is a monster. Have you read it?
Automaton Preaching involves interacting with people in public and speaking to them. I posted a comment . Actually many people viewing this video will be nut bar christians and perhaps they will read the comments section so its not "preaching to the choir". Ridiculing religion actually works, I give you the works of Christopher Hitchens who was a master at denigrating the ridiculous. I can attest to his method working simply by the testimony of former Christians who woke up from their trance via Hitchens.
***** I'm aware of Hichens and you are interacting with people (doesn't have to be physical). I don't see how you can think most viewers are Christian when the comments say otherwise. Street preachers dont listen to others they yell crap at people and dont like it. That is you. There are good ways to tell people things and bad. You are doing the worst possible way. Doesn't matter if you are right and their religion is obviously wrong, no one will come to your side when you talk like a fucking idiot.
Automaton "don't see how you can think most viewers are Christian when the comments say otherwise" Whe Uh you do realize many people don't make comments therefore you don't know if they are all atheists or not viewing the video you dim bulb of stupidity. People aren't mandated to make comments on videos you asscrack moron. I can assure you many theist have watched the video, this is a mere matter of fucking probabilities you dipshit shit sandwich. "There are good ways to tell people things and bad. You are doing the worst possible way. Doesn't matter if you are right and their religion is obviously wrong, no one will come to your side when you talk like a fucking idiot." I already addressed the fact that you are demonstrability WRONG you dumb fuck video game playing zit faced kid.

I have seen many comments from theist who changed because of people like HItchens making fun of how ridiculous their religious system actually is. So you are demonstrably wrong fucktard. My post sounds like I am a "fucking idiot"? ROFL So I guess people like Matt, Hitchens, Dawkins, Krauss etc all sound like fucking idiots when they make fun of religion? ROFL You stupid mother fucker many theist attend speakings of atheist and secular humanist out of interest and out of educating themselves and or questioning their beliefs. So making fun of stupidity makes one look like an idiot? ROFL Their is an entire industry called COMEDY that makes fun of stupditity you dung heap of peanuts and shit.

Automaton By the way where did I say that most viewers are christians? Learn to read you butt plug . You are just like the theist who tells the atheist what he believes or says. Seriously man fuck off.
Great video! It was God's plan all along for us to screw up God's plan, so he has to punish us for what he planned for us to do all along in order to convince us to try not to screw up his plan that he planned for us to screw up. It's all so clear to me now! That would have been funny if Matt had improvised and included God saying that part of the smiting Matt can expect would be messing with Matt's lapel mic during a speech against God as a demonstration of God's awesome powers. :)
I never thought about this, but where did Noah get the wine from? Did a vineyard survive the flood? Did he cram bottles of wine in the ark along with the animals, insects, birds and fish? I would love to hear an apologist's answer.
Summers Time Entertainment No, dude, Noah just milked it from the The WineCow, cuz Gawd used to have milk-wine-honey options from bovines back in the day!
I'm glad we got the ACTUAL version of Babel in this story, and not the traditional one. Because it's honestly the worst thing God does in the Bible. All the other times, he at least has the decency to claim that the people he are killing are wicked (or related to the wicked). But in the Tower of Babel, the only thing the humans are guilty of is co-operating too much, and being capable of achieving anything. No attempt to claim they're evil, or prideful or defying his will. In fact, by declaring their co-operation and unity, he all but says they're being as good as they could possibly be. And yet God feels the need to put a stop to that. Of all the horrible things Yahweh does in the Bible or Quran, I really think this one is worst. Torture the 'guilty' for eternity? At least they commited some crime, however small. But the Tower of Babel is sheer tyranny. "They are great and unified and are challenging my power" is all God needs to justify his actions, not only to himself, but to Moses and all of mankind. God puts on a show of punishing the wicked, but if we take the Bible as a true story, it turns out that when God can't think of any other excuse, when he can't accuse humans of any wickedness, he just throws aside the guise of 'justice' and is just plain evil.
What the people being tortured for eternity are guilty of is only one thing: not believing or following this "god" character. That is the one and only criteria for "hell". Matthew 12:31-32: "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." That is, the only unforgivable thing - not genocide, not rape, not murder, not destruction of all kinds - is not feeding this deity's narcissism. This is reflected throughout the entire bible. At every turn, people are being killed or ruined simply because "god" doesn't like them. Even Jesus, "meek and mild" (Hitch), condemned entire cities to damnation for lacking interest in his traveling show, and regarded non-Jews as "dogs". Literally, the only thing you need to do to get into Celestial North Korea (aka "heaven") is to believe in this character. It doesn't matter how atrocious you are, how many people you've killed, how immorally you've behaved, you'll get into the VIP lounge if you just believed. Morality and salvation are completely independent categories. Absolutely unrelated. These people in hell are not "wicked." They're just non-believers. Christians can get as many clean slates as they want. This is the problem with their claims of Christian/religious morality - there are no consequences. They're a believer, so anything goes. Do anything you want, get unlimited "Get Out of Jail Free" cards. This is why I don't accept "how can you be moral without god?" - the better question is "how is it even possible to be moral _with_ god?"
Excellent _tour de force_ , dramatization of a refreshing collage of counter-apologetics. I'll think I'll start watching Dillahunty more often - before he gets smitten!
We're all different, I suffer utter bewilderment because I don't know what it is like to be religious. People like Matt and Seth truly grasp the two sides of the argument, I feel like a theist who has never tasted atheism in reverse. I especially like listening to Seth, I can feel his exhilaration at freedom and the pain of his personal cost in regards to his family.
I started my atheism journey with darkmatter2525 and nonstampcollector, then after months of matt and aronra, this was a poetic combination with the humor. How awesome. This was like a mug of hot chocolate for the heart
Jani SIr How was that a joke? How can I tell the difference between reading this as a joke and just an idiot? Lets face it, there are a lot of both on the internet.
I was not only there, I picked up Matt and Aron Ra at Auckland Airport and showed them around New Zealand for 2 days before going to the show. Magic time!
Damn it, I knew it! I always suspected that Matt was indeed God and he was rejecting the belief in himself in order to confuse humans just for shits and giggles.
Matt's role playing at the beginning reminded me of that line from Time Bandits where David Rappaport says that the world was a rush jobs; "We only had six days."
Well I can't put you in touch with the man himself. He finds you. But I'll happily pass on your request for the price of 1/3 of your annual income and the sacrifice of a small animal for the next rest of your life.
Chad Ellis Dillahunty engaged me in emails regarding what atheism is and how to describe an atheist and he challenged me to back up my argument that he was wrong and when he did, even after previously sharing multiple emails.... he ran off like a scared chicken.
One of your best speeches yet Matt. If people don't get it after that, then there is no hope for them.That is exactly how the bible reads. Great job. Stay strong in your fight against idiocy.
Matt, your presentation was GENIUS and so entertaining! I definitely shared it on Google Circles, FaceBook, and Twitter. Keep on doing what you do-you are awesome brother!
"I am to smart; I make great plans! ... You're all gonna love me someday." Sounds like a certain "president" I know. Just so happens he thinks he's god too! Coincidence... ?
other than the audio hickups, i think that is one of the best pieces to show the complete ridiculousness of western religion ive ever seen. well performed, well written, comical, "bible based" as it were... that was simply amazing!
Fatuous, unintellectual, and cringe-worthy. The poor audience desperately tried to keep up the laughter, bless them, but it was hollow by the end. Take one look at Matt's face and you just know that a clever word will never issue forth from it.
Yeah .. because giving the speech again and recording it again (with better audio) is beyond out current understanding of physics. The speech was wonderful, the technical problems take away from it's impact, i would like to share this with others but in it's current form i cannot. It's meant to entertain and be funny, but because of the audio it gets annoying at times (again, the content was spot on and extremely funny)
Titian Dragomir Pretty sure that's your problem. Technical problems are omnipresent; on a given week on The Atheist Experience, using the same equipment as ever, there's about a 30% chance of some kind of issue. I understand that your standards for audio fidelity are high, but this is fine for most people so I wouldn't use that as an excuse for not sharing it. I might not share it because a lot of the jokes are cornball, but this is a pretty information-dense satire of the story so I like it.
Eddy Pasatrino Maybe Matt could dub over the affected part of the video? No time machine needed, and only a tiny bit of re-recording to do. Or possibly put in subtitles for those few minutes.
LuthAMF And he knows it? What do you mean by that? Belief in Allah is very much a threat.. arguably more so than even Christianity. But it’s Christianity that is most applicable to the western audience he targets.
@LuthAMF Or it's because he was raised fundementalist Christian and knows Christian scripture and history better than 99% of Bible scholars. You play to your strengths. I can recite a bunch of WW1 history but if I start talking about the Cold War I'd just be talking out of my ass.
So... God learned to plan from Tzeentch. Have multiple plans that all work against each other so that if your plan is defeated you can claim victory via another plan.
No shit! I remember asking, how the hell can someone live to 800yra old? Wait we know dinosaurs existed but the bible never mentioned them. How can that be? Wait, sleeping with your family is bad, so how did Noah repopulate the planet. WTF was i thinking! Why did I believe this shit for so long
I loved the call back from the show at the end. "I'm gonna punch you in your fat face for jesus". That show had me rollin. True Christian values showing through that day.
Awesome stuff, Matt! Love it! So much is said in there. Shame about those sound technicalities, though. I'm rooting for you and all other skeptics who don't fear coming out like you do.
It's because of this man and others like him that presented logical evidence and debates that I no longer believe in the god delusion it's so freeing I wanna cry right now. I was so lost so bound by religion and had so much fear that I was so depressed and I would call out to god to help and change me and I got no answers. All I can say is I got the answers to god and it's bullshit ,except comparing god to bullshit would be an insult to bullshit.
Actually, I already had the similar thoughts or questions Matt talked about a long, long time ago. In fact, I had even more from the Genesis alone. Yet I did not tell anyone but kept it to myself. Maybe just worried what if I'm wrong.
Well done welcome to reality !

@LuthAMF You left out deliberately obtuse.
+Randall Martin good for you man, hope you're happy ^-^

Morality and salvation are completely independent categories. Absolutely unrelated. These people in hell are not "wicked." They're just non-believers. Christians can get as many clean slates as they want. This is the problem with their claims of Christian/religious morality - there are no consequences. They're a believer, so anything goes. Do anything you want, get unlimited "Get Out of Jail Free" cards.
This is why I don't accept "how can you be moral without god?" - the better question is "how is it even possible to be moral _with_ god?"
I first watched this 8-9 years ago and it never gets old.
Excellent _tour de force_ , dramatization of a refreshing collage of counter-apologetics. I'll think I'll start watching Dillahunty more often - before he gets smitten!
We're all different, I suffer utter bewilderment because I don't know what it is like to be religious. People like Matt and Seth truly grasp the two sides of the argument, I feel like a theist who has never tasted atheism in reverse.
I especially like listening to Seth, I can feel his exhilaration at freedom and the pain of his personal cost in regards to his family.
This is the best video I've seen in a while. Thanks, Matt.
Shut up!! I`m being mysterious here.
After watching this the only conclusion I can come to is that God is a mental patient.
God(Allah) is Greatest
Or an eighth grader who got his hands on the Sims 4
@@islamisonlytruth1610 The greatest fictional psychopath ever invented by a child rapist.

That's an extraordinary claim that carries a burden of proof.
Or an angry, lonely, child that never got over pulling the wings off of flies.
I was there, front row, loved it!
Come back soon Matt!!
I started my atheism journey with darkmatter2525 and nonstampcollector, then after months of matt and aronra, this was a poetic combination with the humor. How awesome. This was like a mug of hot chocolate for the heart
Well mine was from a documentary on the scams that are mega churchs then it went down from there and yeah those channels helped a lot
Matt Dillahunty as God is the greatest thing since sliced bread
This was so wonderfully creative, Matt! Excellent!
stiimuli Come on, this is the easiest thing to do. You just read the Bible literally and you are done with it.
Jani SIr I would like to see you do a speech like this and see if it is as good. I'll put money on it not being though...
Automaton
You seriously don't understand jokes do you?
Jani SIr How was that a joke? How can I tell the difference between reading this as a joke and just an idiot? Lets face it, there are a lot of both on the internet.

All right, fair enough.
How did Noah find two CHAMELEONS??

Checkmate theists!

God teleported them to the Middle East.
they revealed themselves to him..checkmate hahahaha
How did all those blind animals that live underground or in caves, got to the boat !!?
This is your best piece

confirmed - Matt is a shapeshifting rock based organism
Can't believe I'm just now seeing this. This is hilarious and awesome.
This is brilliant. It sheds light on the absurdity that many of us once took for absolute truths.
Speak for yourself.
@@Cheepchipsable I always do!
When I was a child... I thought and acted as a child... I listened to the rock music... Now I am a man.. I ROCK to the TRINITY of Seth-Matt-Aron!
All sounds perfectly plausible to me. It does leave me wondering who God sees for therapy, though, as it might be time to tweak his Thorazine.
Maekong Mike He should be OK from now on, he discovered masturbation and stuff :-)
I just saw this for the first time today. Absolutely hilarious! Thanks, Matt!
Wow, non-stop. You really pulled it all together.
I fucking love this speech. I must have watched into a dozen times. But every few months, I come back to give it another listen. Highly entertaining.
Same for me.
Stellar!! Just magnificently put together.
I was not only there, I picked up Matt and Aron Ra at Auckland Airport and showed them around New Zealand for 2 days before going to the show. Magic time!
This is something I personally have always wanted to do - a skit exactly like this. But I'm glad I didn't because Matt D did it perfectly.
Matt!!! This is without a doubt THE most spot-on one person show I have ever seen or heard about! You go, guy!
The crazy thing is this technically isn’t blasphemy because it’s all actually in the book 😂
That was briliant. No theist would be able to clinch to his faith after listening to this without presupposition. Thanks
You underestimate the power of indoctrination!
Damn it, I knew it! I always suspected that Matt was indeed God and he was rejecting the belief in himself in order to confuse humans just for shits and giggles.
Seth: patient, easy-going, relatable
Aron: a smart ass, but who can blame him
Matt: roasts people by stating their own beliefs back at them

His opening routine is great. It rates up there with Mr . Deity.
Matt's role playing at the beginning reminded me of that line from Time Bandits where David Rappaport says that the world was a rush jobs; "We only had six days."

Amazing, well done Mr. Dillahunty! Greetings from Germany!
Turns out that doing the bible is excellent stand up comedy.

Come on christians, join the party!
You are the ones who make this comment section fun!
that's why i'm here lolthey really aren't trying ....
KUTTR- I don't think there's much they can say. Everything he acted out was is in the bible lol
Nigel Hornbean I'm and atheist and I think Dillahunty is a moron on atheism. I vote anything the guy says down. You assume too much.
+Atheist On Demand What has he said about it that you disagree with?
Chad Ellis Dillahunty engaged me in emails regarding what atheism is and how to describe an atheist and he challenged me to back up my argument that he was wrong and when he did, even after previously sharing multiple emails.... he ran off like a scared chicken.
Matt, I'm sensing some sarcasm
Could really imagine Ricky Gervais doing this routine too ...brilliant
One of your best speeches yet Matt. If people don't get it after that, then there is no hope for them.That is exactly how the bible reads. Great job. Stay strong in your fight against idiocy.
Never new Matt was this funny, good stuff, great timing, simply a sweet monologue!
Matt, your presentation was GENIUS and so entertaining! I definitely shared it on Google Circles, FaceBook, and Twitter. Keep on doing what you do-you are awesome brother!
Brilliant
I hope you bring this one man show on the road Matt. Great performance!
"I am to smart; I make great plans! ... You're all gonna love me someday." Sounds like a certain "president" I know. Just so happens he thinks he's god too! Coincidence... ?
Nah.. 45's enemies existed prior to his rise.. so.. but 0 on the other hand.. .. ...
Listened to Matt for years. First time I've listened to this. It was simply awesome. Well done.
100% pure talent. Thank you.
This is my favourite Dillahunty video. It is so fun watching the bungling god bombastically justifying himself.
Parody and satire aren't his forte (acute)s but he mocks Dog and the wholly babble quite admirably.
other than the audio hickups, i think that is one of the best pieces to show the complete ridiculousness of western religion ive ever seen. well performed, well written, comical, "bible based" as it were... that was simply amazing!
Brilliant, hilarious, accurate, on point; and at the same time sad, horrific, pathetic, ridiculous and shameful. Nicely done, Matt - way to go!
Fatuous, unintellectual, and cringe-worthy. The poor audience desperately tried to keep up the laughter, bless them, but it was hollow by the end.
Take one look at Matt's face and you just know that a clever word will never issue forth from it.
I just learned some new words
@@MrCallidus,
Now you're just projecting...
Burning any animal alive as "a sacrifice" is beyond cruel.
LOVE IT ! Please rerecord it with better audio.
It was a house audio issue, like the annotation said, and someone handed Matt a mic to fix the issue. Did you watch the video?
Titian Dragomir Kk just let me go get in my time machine real quick !
Yeah .. because giving the speech again and recording it again (with better audio) is beyond out current understanding of physics. The speech was wonderful, the technical problems take away from it's impact, i would like to share this with others but in it's current form i cannot. It's meant to entertain and be funny, but because of the audio it gets annoying at times (again, the content was spot on and extremely funny)
Titian Dragomir Pretty sure that's your problem. Technical problems are omnipresent; on a given week on The Atheist Experience, using the same equipment as ever, there's about a 30% chance of some kind of issue. I understand that your standards for audio fidelity are high, but this is fine for most people so I wouldn't use that as an excuse for not sharing it.
I might not share it because a lot of the jokes are cornball, but this is a pretty information-dense satire of the story so I like it.
Eddy Pasatrino Maybe Matt could dub over the affected part of the video? No time machine needed, and only a tiny bit of re-recording to do. Or possibly put in subtitles for those few minutes.
That was sensational. I had no idea you were here in Australia and I'm really sorry I missed it. Very well done 😊💜
Matt is on the internet so he's everywhere. Just like god.
Epic. An anime needs to be made of this.
As an Australian I am so sorry that I missed this. He is GREAT!!
That was amazing, Matt.
Bravo!!!! Excellent! Best Matt speech ever! This speech needs to go into your regular rotation Matt! You rock!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
"PSYCH!!" Awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the best performance arguments I've seen. Loved it!
do you think he could do a sequel ? Maybe Allah ?
LuthAMF And he knows it? What do you mean by that? Belief in Allah is very much a threat.. arguably more so than even Christianity. But it’s Christianity that is most applicable to the western audience he targets.
I would like to see him do Krishna.
@@Balstrome1 Naw, that story is completely bonkers, but at the same time, it's very anime. Krishna is no god, he's an haren anime protagonist. XD
@LuthAMF are you stupid? Read the Quran and tell me Allah isn't threat.
@LuthAMF Or it's because he was raised fundementalist Christian and knows Christian scripture and history better than 99% of Bible scholars. You play to your strengths.
I can recite a bunch of WW1 history but if I start talking about the Cold War I'd just be talking out of my ass.
This is fantastic and so brilliant. I wish the audio issues weren't there.
So... God learned to plan from Tzeentch. Have multiple plans that all work against each other so that if your plan is defeated you can claim victory via another plan.
That sounds like an insult to Tzeentch right there...
What a brilliant delivery of the truth Matt. Spot on performance that perfectly represents the god of the bible. Please come to Florida!
Outstanding presentation Matt!
Even as a kid sitting there in church I could see a lot of it didn't really hang together but you look around and no one else seems to mind.
No shit! I remember asking, how the hell can someone live to 800yra old?
Wait we know dinosaurs existed but the bible never mentioned them. How can that be?
Wait, sleeping with your family is bad, so how did Noah repopulate the planet.
WTF was i thinking! Why did I believe this shit for so long
I feel pretentious every time I say that I realized this stuff was bullshit even as a child but I can’t help it, how do more people not realize?
Well done! Very original too 👍
I loved the call back from the show at the end. "I'm gonna punch you in your fat face for jesus". That show had me rollin. True Christian values showing through that day.
And funniest since Dan Barker did his "You don't want to have to
go down in my basement and be tortured, do you?" routine.
You are my hero, Matt! It was always Hitchens, but you are as good, just different style.
He's wearing the Hotel Bathrobe.
Awesome stiff Matt enjoyed your talk in Brisbane and chatting with you afterwards
Can you belief people actually used that for their morals? Wonder why the world is so fucked up with inequality?
Awesome stuff, Matt! Love it! So much is said in there. Shame about those sound technicalities, though. I'm rooting for you and all other skeptics who don't fear coming out like you do.
That was brilliant, Matt!!
thanks matt. thank you for all your time and effort. you do a lot for people wrapped up in the mess. thank you.
