***** It's quite the irony that you claim that scientists have "no answers" as to how the universe operates and the origin of life and yet you insist that a god (YOUR god, of course) magically spawned the universe and complex life forms for the entertainment value of it. Science has mostly explained the phenomenon of life and how it originated. Here's some information on the natural chemical evolution that got evolution started: people.chem.duke.edu/~jds/cruise_chem/Exobiology/miller.html Here you will find what science now knows about the evolution of life from the simple beginnings to the variety of life we observe today: evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_47 Do yourself a favor and discard the absurdities of Islam or any other religious creation mythologies and drag yourself kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Or you can choose to keep yourself in your dismal alternate "reality" of a crude and barbaric 7th century religion.
***** *That's very interesting rhetoric on your part, but you didn't answer my question about evolution. Evolution is accepted as fact by virtually every scientist in the modern world (which probably doesn't include "scientists" in third-world shitholes like most Islamic societies as a result of the stranglehold Quranic indoctrination has there). It has replaced "intelligent design" as the explanation for the complexity of life and, happily, ID has been kicked out of the classrooms in the vast majority of schools in favor of teaching people about our REAL origins. There are certainly unanswered questions about the cosmos, but science is learning more all the time and many questions will probably be answered eventually. That said, barbaric monstrosities like the god of Islam (and the biblical god) are an affront to reason and civilization and best left to the annals of barbaric mythologies that the world can well do without.*
***** "Many new questions in regard to almost every principle mentioned by Darwin have arisen. For example, it is asked whether the appearance of a new organ or for that matter any other organic change, always results from the use of that organ and the attempt to adapt it to one's environment or it may be due to mutation or any other cause?" *Appearance of a new ORGAN? You mean a new organ should somehow appear within humans or some other species that we can observe? It doesn't work that way. Evolution of sight, for example, began with simple photo-receptive cells. There have been evolutionary revisions to the structure of the eye through selective pressure over MILLIONS of years. Educate yourself about it here:* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_eye "The organic changes, whatever may be their cause, are always aimed at survival and evolution or sometimes they may be due to the inconsistency with the environmental conditions and may culminate in death and extinction?" *Evolution by natural selection is all about survival long enough to reproduce and pass genetic information along to offspring. If it aids survival, it is naturally selected and tends to propagate among the gene pool of a given population. If not, it is selected out and that genetic lineage goes no further. Variations in environmental conditions, sexual selection, geographic changes, etcetera can change over time, all of which can direct the evolutionary adaptations of a species.* "Natural selection is or is not like artificial selection which leads the existing generation to evolution?" *Artificial selection is a very good analog of natural selection in that it can produce lots of variation among breeds within a species and this is an example of evolution within a species. Speciation is generally a very long term event and requires a species with a rapid generational turnover to be observed.* *Read more about speciation here:* evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/news/100201_speciation
You have to appreciate the fact that while the Christians in the comments have called Pat an idiot, a communist, a Satanist, and just about every other insult their semi-literate minds can dredge up, they can't bring themselves to actually address anything he says in this video.
I'm not innocent of being harsh sometimes. Or getting into arguments. But thanks for your kind response. There are billions of us that honestly do not use our religion to cause harm. To our shelves or others. Just as there are Atheist that do the same. As far as the video. I can tell he truly believes what he says he does. He is passionate about it and even has points he is able to backup. I agree with his comment about those that teach transcendence. And I believe religion can become bondage. I believe there are many that hate religion but love their God.
Thank you. I was lucky to have been raised by parents that taught kindness. I recall a saying about passing judgement. "There but by the grace of God go I." Meaning we have no right to pass judgement because we are no better than others in Gods eyes. We believe every human is a child of God. We are called by our God to share the story of salvation but there is a right time and place. We are also called to defend our beliefs and ourselves. But that doesn't mean we are supposed to attack people. Yet many do. And I can certainly understand why many non-believers feel the way they do about Christians. When Christians shout that someone is going to burn in Hell it makes me sick. In our beliefs only God can decide what happens to someones soul. It shouldn't be used as a scare tactic. I honestly suspect God doesn't like it. No one comes to God through force.
***** Once again, I'm impressed. Thank you for conducting yourself in this manner. It isn't often that one sees intelligence and civility in the comments section of TH-cam.
Why should I respect someone who actively worships a god that demanded the killing of children? Why should I respect someone who believes I deserve to be tortured forever?
Why should I respect someone who kills millions of chinese Mao. Or why should I respect someone who can slaughter their fellow fleshy moist robots without question. Atheism has no moral objection to evil you dont get to play atheism has morality as nothing has any meaning, You steal that from religion, in atheism all those things you said are not wrong or right they just happen. I can murder and rape anyone I want and there is nothing to hold me to for being right or wrong in doing so Only your subjective belief that what i did is wrong. If i want to murder rape beat someone torture someone. Well you have nothing which you can object to my behavior with. I'm simple a hedonistic nihilistic fleshy moist robot seeking maximum pleasure for my life. Your subjective morality is just that subjective and meaningless to me. As I simply reject it out of hand and do whatever I want when I want to whoever I want. I only need the strength and power to do it to you. And its not wrong anything I would do to you. Its just me doing what I WANT
Ever notice how intelligent comedians are? Carlin, Stephen Wright, Ricky Gervais, Pat Condell. They are all attuned to the absurdities of life. They see through the BS. They are the supreme satirists of our age, no less than Voltaire, Swift, and Mencken were in theirs.
And I notice the opposite is true of politicians!Even when they use it for political gain and probably dont believe in it themselves it stunts their thinking and public discourse!Just one case in point youve got Obama,who claimed to be a christian and now hes been pretty much outed as a muslim and hes always having to play it cool even when issues of the day bring up his hypocracy regularly and make an unfunny liar out of him!But then he came out of zionist politics in Chicago and appears at apac all the time and do their bidding!No wonder every body is confused and not laughing with him but at him!!
***** Put that to the test, Go rob a bank, Give the Police enough time to arrive and you'll find out real quick that there is authority in our culture.
Frederic Mercier The ones who are courageous are the ones who search and find their own meaning in life without having to have it dictated to them on a platter. That is a truly frightening prospect, and takes effort and guts to undertake, but is the path that is most rewarding and leads to true truth.
Frederic Mercier Sure your faith is your choice, but it's a choice to be dictated to. Your faith dictates to you what you believe after you choose to believe it. As for what is truly truth, nor does religion tell you what is true. You have faith it's true, as do I from my own experience and growth. And frankly, I cannot respect (much less worship) any deity that would demand and reward sheer belief over a creature of its own creation questioning and taking a lifelong journey in pursuit of knowledge pertaining to the the reality of its own existence. If I am to be judged when I pass on for thinking for myself, then so be it. It is a truly sick world if I'm to be condemned for such. If you and many others wish to look for those answers in faith, so be it, but I don't find that respectable in any respect, I'm sorry. I find it quite pitiable. We deserve to be free of fear to be able explore and relish living. Religion and faith precludes that in favor of strict adherence to dogmatism. As the saying goes, "Philosophy deals with questions that may never be answered. Religion deals with answers that may never be questioned". That, right there, is the gist of my problem with faith and the "deals with questions that may never be answered" part is why it's so scary.....but is also precisely why it is so liberating at the same time.
Vanessa Bluebear you're very much the problem. Instead of listening to the arguments and thinking for yourself you are just spouting nonsense holly roller bullshit. Saying we need god and that God's real, where's your proof and don't say you feel it because feeling something doesn't make it true.
+Pat Brennan ★In your imagination Jesus is God !―&― your imaginary God died for the sin of humanity! ★ The fact is ―★it is 2016! ―&― still there is no real video evidence & communication with any pagan gods & imaginary sons of gods!―so―smart people should worship ONE Almighty Creator!
+Barnaby ap Robert Well, if you really sought the Kingdom of God, it would be revealed to you, having a contrite heart. I have LOTS of evidence............... Zero evidence? Really? Wow, you really are a little slow. You also need to realize you are a sinner. Most people will not accept that, reject they are a sinner and need Jesus. You need to admit you sin, before God.

I cannot agree more with you. It drive's me up the wall how uneducated some of this world are. Still believing in religion, still believing the Earth is flat, still believing we never went to the moon. We need to educate the world. Its 2015 now, and the human race should be moving to the future. Instead things like religion and the flat earth society simply hold progression back.
If I recall correctly, it was modern "scientists" who thought the earth was flat, scripture revealed the earth isn't flat a very long time prior to "science"
+milleziano What? Please show me your evidence for that ridiculous claim. There was never a time when scientists thought the earth was flat, a common misconception. We know of ancient cultures that predate the bible and even they knew the earth was a globe! Plus the bible actually claims the earth to be flat.
Dead Aces The bible or Tanakh is the records kept by the Israelite nation and I agree that there were people prior to Israel who believed the earth was flat. Scripture doesn't say the earth is flat, maybe you can show scriptural proof for this claim. Also, I don't agree this flat earth theory is a misconception in regards to modern science.
+milleziano Oh, so if an ancient book says that some people believed in a flat earth thousands of years ago, these people must have been scientists... ...even though science didn't really exist until the 18th century. GTFO.
This all dawned on me 60+ years ago as a young seminarian; the full impact did not happen overnight but the initial gut feeling started then, while training to be an R.C. priest. Actually, even as a small boy, I never really believed in it. Around the age of 6/7/8 you gradually realise that there is no Father Xmas and no Tooth-Fairy either but your Catholicism sticks with you even though you do not see, in your child's mind, why your religion is valid still. After all, there is your headmistress, a nun at school and then at grammar school, there is the headmaster, with grey hair and a kindly smile - an Irish Christian Brother. There is the parish priest who you serve Mass for, Sunday after Sunday - all believers, or so it would seem. So hang on in there, Keith, and do as they say and pray for the GIFT of FAITH, like they say you should do.... and everything will turn out right. EXCEPT that ermmmmmm NOPE......everything did not turn out right, at least vis-a-vis any vindication of faith. I left the seminary at 18 and slowly, very slowly it all fell into place. The weekend I left was the first step; i did not go to mass - a huge step for a hitherto observant Catholic schoolboy. From that day on, I grew ever bolder and eventually dismissed all the b.s. that we had had thrust down our throats by our teachers, the nuns and the Irish Christian Brothers who were many things, dear old fellows BUT Christian. I thought it was just me that thought like that; just me that had apostasised. But NO...! Roll on a few decades, the 60's 70's 80's 90'sand the noughties.... and what have we now...? THE INTERNET....! We have the Internet and contact with other, like-mindeds such as this sooooo articulate Mr. Condell...! Isolation over. Great.................................! And THANK-YOU Pat.................! Keith MANNCHESTER
Pat on the back!! @.15 Pat reviews a criticism he received that he should have more respect for those of faith. He responds that he is justified in calling it a crock of delusional garbage and a force for evil in the world. ***Pat exposes his negative bias with this hasty gen fallacy. Nothing he says can be proven of a group, though undoubtedly true of some bad eggs. Any criticism that is interpreted and applied to a group is suspect for each criticism is reasonably individual and even temporary for individuals all make mistakes at their different stages of growth. @1.00 Pat on the back postulates with acute detail and evidence that faith is a joke and GOD is a joke because he has seen no evidence of either. ***This is the argument from silence fallacy since Pat's lack of evidence is not evidence against any GOD argument, but just evidence that Pat is not equipped to form a logical stance both by virtue of his 1. Ignorance of the subject matter and his 2. Abundant use of logical fallacies throughout his speech. 3. Negative bias against the Creator of the universe ruling his life 4. Refusal to admit that he is the evil one projecting onto GOD. facebook.com/groups/337705067119117
I don't agree with him on Brexit but I adore this video. totally on point. I just wouldn't want my friends to think I am not a firm supporter of Remain just because I like pat. But alas I'm american so maybe I have less right - I just know the brits I admire are mostly remainers. I want the ability to take what I see of virtue in some of these people and use them like a Salad bar ;p I shouldn't have to stomach all of pats beliefs to find some of what he does useful.
I disagree with some of his politics, especially since it does not translate from his system in England to ours, but when it comes to religion I am with him 100%.
This comments section is fun. So many angry believers throwing the bible around and every one of them being countered by logic and fact. I love seeing this.
All religions die out eventually. Might not be in our lifetime, but eventually there just wont be any left. Youth of today are becoming less and less religion-bound, and the diehard fanatics are dying off.
Corgblam 2000+ years, going strong. Growing by leaps and bounds in Africa and other regions of the world where people are spiritually alive and uncorrupted by Satan's lies...like this video. God bless you, Corgblam. I hope you might one day have eyes to see.
***** You mean in Africa where dictators that believe in god mow down helpless civilians with machine guns? Atheism is growing around the world. Fourty years ago, it was 10% of Americans. Now its 43%.
Joseph Salmons And you think god exists because a book said so, thats about as far as your christian logic goes. You have no argument except for your circular hypocritical bullshit. You have no evidence to support your bible. We can all see you were not burdened with an overabundance of schooling. Sit down before your hurt yourself.
***** Ya mean were ppl are full of hate,and are for a fact thee most un-educated dumbasses on earth live?...Yup..Only weak minded idiots would believe in god...That's why its flushing there..duhh
I agree 100%! If only more people were as reasonable and open-minded, religions would have gone extinct by now and we'd be able to progress further as a species without medieval mindsets holding us down.
Kindah Al Alawi Honey, you don't NEED religion to survive in this life. You only follow it because you were born into it :) Religion is a CHOICE, not a NECESSITY. And as the centuries go by more and more people will realize how ultimately needless it really is.
If you talk about G. and don't know G., the truth is you have no idea what you're talking about. If you think because you have no relationship with G., therefore no one else does, that's equally ill informed,presumptuous, & egotistical.
Kindah Al Alawi Well I scarcely feel comfortable around religions that require for example violently taking other people's lives simply because they do not believe in the same God ... and that's all I have to say on the matter
Self delusion is hardly a 'gift' worth keeping. Toss it away and replace it with something better: an education that trains your mind to think critically and demand evidence for wild, fanciful claims.
very well said...I tried to turn my life around and thought being a christian was the right thing..and as I started learning more,the more none of it made any sense. christianity only lasted 2 months with me. I am so grateful to be one of the ones to wake up,and it sucks when you know the truth and try to tell everyone and they think you are crazy.. I would get no love on my spiritual posts but when i post something funny and stupid that has no meaning...everybody likes it...Just goes to show how many people are asleep...
+Miss Nina I was raised catholic, I never got any religious feeling. Then when I was forced to buy a bible at 9, I read it. Never give me something to read that you don't want me to read. Fair WARNING. You know what is said? That which is seen cannot be unseen? Well, by the time I got to Cain & Abel, I'd seen ENOUGH. I have often asked religious people about this problem & yet to have a reasonable answer. All I've gotten is teeth thrown at me. LOL. God lied, problem solved. ???? Cain fucked his sister???? Problem why didn't it say sister? Why was his sister called a woman of NOD? The rest is silence..... Any of you want to make me a christian again. Answer the god damn question.
+Agnes Philomena What is the point of this assertion? This is one huge reason why people are turned off by Christianity. You and your lot sit back and pretend like you know what's going on in everyone's head, their motivations, their justifications, etc. Why can't you just admit that some people legitimately have trouble believing those things which you presume to be true?
+Miss Nina 2 months huh? made you an expert>? Sorry, Miss Nina, it did not, "suit", you. Was it to big? or to small? Poor girl. So, sorry it did not work out. For you. So, was it this YT Video, which swayed you're conscience, or was it something else? (just wondering)
Mike Arthut all of religion tells you what to think and believe...all just stories that make no sense and the bible is too hypocritical to take seriously..if Jesus wanted to show himself to me I'm sure he could but I guess he just chooses not to huh...I choose to believe in what makes sense
+Miss Nina Well, Miss Nina, you have said nothing, that makes sense. First of all, why would Jesus, show him self to you? A Jezebel, a harlot, of satan himself? What makes sense to you, is money. or souls. So, tell me, tell all of us, is it money, or souls of dead men>?
Thank you Mr. Condell for your eloquent summation of how so many of us feel about religion. You have perfectly expressed my thoughts on the subject better than I could myself. Bravo!
Thank you, Pat. Nailed it! I just wish I could remember half of what Pat said so I could repeat it! I really should try harder. I guess religion is the single-most thing that has stopped humanity from progressing further. Thank goodness for scientific brains who reason with logic and common sense and put aside faith.
[03:36] “If you’re a believer, your faith allows you to adopt a set of beliefs that make absolutely no sense, knowing that you won’t be measured by whether they make sense, but by the level of _piety_ that you exhibit in believing them. In other words, your willingness to deny reality becomes a measure of your virtue. No wonder religion is so popular. ¶ But what a price you pay for this virtue? You’ve been persuaded that believing in the _impossible_ is your only hope. How did that happen? And that your purpose is to worship something beyond your understanding, defined by and only accessible through self-appointed intermediaries.” - Pat Condell, _Your Faith Is A Joke_ (2010-12-16) [03:36] [ th-cam.com/video/P4dSiHqpULk/w-d-xo.htmlm36s ]
@@sambaxter8236 Um yes atheism is putting forth a claim for the unknown, That is exactly what atheism is doing. NO GOD IS A TRUTH CLAIM. Hi welcome and join us other believers in out little faiths. Atheism is a faith and a religion in that it has a belief. And despite Atheism's attempt to marry itself to science so as to be the only valid truth claim. It hasn't worked out despite atheists attempt to claim science. As science doesn't say anything
My God I LOVE a man with a functioning brain! LOVE it! Listening to this was music to my ears. You nailed it on every single point! Bravo! I feel like transcribing into email and sending to a few 'blessed' and 'righteous' people I know in my life.
I don’t know who this guy is, but I fucking love him!!! What an awesome, amazing, phenomenal, inspirational, passionate rant on the disgusting, hateful, pathetic, ignorant, arrogant, evil cult of Christianity & all the man made horrible religions in this world!
Pat is of the antichrist spirit, he thinks he can save himself by his own good works, which is false, God says none of us are righteous; no, not one, for that reason, he sent his son Jesus, 1/3 of the Jews will know Jesus, 2/3 will be lost, like 2/3 of this world or more.
+clarence puckett.Pat is of the commonsense spirit. He truthfully speaks out about the nonsense of religion. He does not think he can save himself, because he does not believe he has a soul which would need saving. But like a good drone, you and the other religious people here keep posting your unsupportable and unverifiable beliefs.
Jeff; I am not religious, I am righteous, I have repented of my sins, which all of us are born in/with, because of the fall of Adam/Eve, Jesus came to save that which was lost, if you die without him, you die lost, forever, and that is about as common sense as I can express it, the world is full of religious folks, but do not know the one true savior; Jesus Christ.
+Clarence puckett.I am quite sure you believe that. However, you have no evidence to show it is true. That is one of the big problems with religious claims. Yes it is a religious claim.
Not just a claim; but a changed life, until that happens, all u have is religion, and the whole world is religious, and going to hell; or most of it. II Corinthians 5:17 [a new creature in Christ Jesus]
Erika Dolan That is not the gift of faith. It's called dopamine, and the god you are talking about is a made up stupidity which has concept that makes you satisfied. On the other hand, those with just a tiny bit of brain don't need imaginary friend to feel happy.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and my word was it fantastic! The arguments, so concise, so blunt, so thorough and so well deserved by the religious. Religion is the burning shackle that swears life would be worse without it holding you to the ground, forcing you to bow down and submit your delusionally created "eternal soul" to another delusion called "god." Great video, great points, bravo. Religion has always been created by humans and it has always been made to control. What policeman would be better at punishing "criminals" than one who you can never see, but always sees you. The biblical god is not a benevolent savior worthy of love, he is a malevolent punisher demanding fear. (I only address Christianity because that's the religion I know of. I'm sure few religions are better.)
This dude makes perfect sense to me -- the only problem with his message is that fundamentalist ( or at least the ones I know ) don't have the intelligence to get what he is saying. I guess that's why religion will always have a stronghold on at least some of us.
I'll thumb that up, Neil. I think this gets forgotten a lot of the time. I'll be the first to admit that i know some HIGHLY intelligent theists, people who have created great things. However, sometimes, they have a kind of gap in their intelligence, a space that was filled a long time ago and won't be touched by reason. It was filled by their upbringing and culture. They can still be as intelligent as any other but will always cling to these bullshit beliefs like their life depended on it. Thanks Neil. edit: Please though Neil, drop the caps. For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, please.
Try and be rational. Putting aside theories arising from a big bang event within a possible infinite number of universes within a multi-verse, let’s think logically. Something (whatever you call it - “God”, “stuff” etc.) cannot come from absolute nothingness. We can surely agree therefore that there has eternally been “something”. If there is just matter and energy, over an eternity, the world we live in will have inevitably come into being. To say there must have been a creator because there is “stuff” (currently including us, mountains and cats) is nonsensical, because there MUST have always been something and that will lead over aeons to an infinite number of scenarios. The World is full of naturally occurring horrors such as cancer, tape worms, Ebola, tsetse fly. No doubt you regard these as products created by a benevolent creator. However, if you develop your reasoning, you will understand these are simply the inevitable product of matter and energy over time. The World is not good or evil…it just is.
BIke ? Regardless of your "there must be something" theory ,rational people will reserve their judgemnt until evidence proves otherwise . In the same way you look at the world and say there must be a divine creator , who is responsible for and watches over all things , then I contradict you by saying take off your roses tinted glasses and look at hunger , poverty, disease , war , natural disasters and tell me God loves the world and we his children. . Youre nuts !!!! Plain nuts !!!
It sounds from what Pat says and from across the comments that many believe it's wrong to believe in Jesus and God. Is that correct? At what is the snark aimed? On the basis of what belief is such faith wrong?
I am THEIST. I believe in GOD. I Worship the Peacock, the Tortoise, The Crocodile, the Tiger, The Lion, The Banyan Tree, The Coconut Tree, The Clouds, the River and the SUN, The Mountain etc etc etc etc. One does not have to be in a state of hypnosys to understand that the Trees have to be thanked and worshipped. Worshipping the clouds Does Not require an intermedairy, They are visible to the Naked Eye. My religion does NOT have Balsphemy Laws or Apostasy Laws. We NEVER Murder or Publicly Behead people who choose to be Atheists or Agnostics or who wish to convert. We ALWAYS RESPECT INDIVIDUAL CHOICE. And Hence, I do firmly believe, that since I have Never condemned an Atheist to Death-sentence, an Atheist can, at-least show us a little more Respect.
***** , You are Not being fair Mr. Jimmax. 1. NONE of my ancestors Ever ever went out on a Jihad or a Crusade. 2. Even Today, NONE of my Uncles / sons/ Fathers / Brothers have the Blood of any Innocent on their hands. 3. We NEVER offer bribes / jobs to people and coerce them to convert. 4. Of the several Holy Books that we believe in; one is the Charavaka Siddhanta [ The Book of the Atheists]. 5. Atheists are totally FREE to Ignore God, because GOD looks at the conduct and behaviour of a person and NOT at the number of times he prostrates. [ God Herself Says so]. Fine, you have genuine grudges against the people who 'Sell" Bible to you and Islam ; the less said the better... BUT, What is your Grudge against Me and My people???? You picked up a Brush and simply painted ALL THEISTS AS EVIL. So, tell me...... How is is exactly that My people have offended you, or caused you any trouble????
***** You are Right, Mr. Jimmax. It's Just that, When you said, "Bloodshed on the Planet today; All in the name of One God or another" ; I ASSUMED that you had included The Sun, The Rivers and The God Of the Tall Trees ; The God of the Short Shrubs etc etc etc in the List of Gods in whose names Bloodshed does happen. Charavaka Siddhantha [The Book of the Athiests] is originally written in Sanskrit. The followers of this book are Atheists and Do Not believe in God. However, they Never purposely pick-up a quarrel with a Theist. Just like you have rightly said, Charavaka [Atheist] does not mean Intolerant. Charavakas [ Atheists] and the rest of us have co-existed peacefully for centuries.
Pat Condell is obviously quite a character. I like him and respect him for his candor. I've enjoyed listening to his views on Islam. Then sadly, he extended those same views to all religion. I don't know if it would be counter-productive to tell Pat that my faith is not in a religion but in a wonderful man named Jesus. No, I don't suppose so. Anything based on faith and not on reason is sufficient reason for Pat to not only reject it, but even hate it. Lord knows, I wouldn't want Pat to hate me. I don't know Pat, but I have to guess he's not a very happy man. As for me; I've never been happier in my life since I met the Lord. Thanks for listening
Jesus was a nutcase who believed the world would end in the first century. Since it didn't and has carried on for a further 2000 years and will probably continue to exists for hundred of millions of years this is not a trivial error on his behalf! What makes him different than other cult leaders like David Koresh or Jim Jones who also believed the world would end? When are you going to come out of your delusion and stop believing in this mythical dead cosmic zombie?
Oops, Peter. Jesus is still alive, remember? Over five hundred people were witnesses to that fact. Be very careful what you call Him. That's all I want to say. Thanks
Frederic Mercier Jesus told people to leave their families, give all their money away and give up their jobs and follow him. He expected the world to end in his lifetime and it says so in the gospels. Since it didn't and hasn't happened that makes him no different than David Koresh, Jim Jones or Charles Manson all who in recent years also predicted the world would end and yet it hasn't. Claiming Jesus just predicted the sacking of Jerusalem is just a cop out, The fact is he was a failed deluded cult leader who was wrong. Had it not been for Constantine who arbitrarily chose Christianity as a religion to unite his empire rather than some other cult Jesus would now be in the same position of Zeus, Thor, Woatang, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Celestial Teapot, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy or any number of imaginary beings that nobody believes in any more.
well, sorry you feel that way, but it's not going to change my mind about what I believe. And I'm sure YOU would like to be respected as well. It's a 2 way street. have a pleasant day
You believe in that shit because you happened to be born in a christian environment, if you were born in a muslim country you'd be a muslim. You know there's something wrong when your beliefs are fully decided by the society in which you happen to be born. You were brainwashed into believeing that shit, so were those before you and those around you. Free yourself from those silly beliefs created by ignorant desert people thousands of years ago.
what difference does it make to y'all what I choose to believe? I do not attack atheists and am not a wild eyed fundie (Who, by the way treats even other christians with the same venom as they treat atheists if we do not go to their church) Kindly note that I'n not crazy about the fundies either and have not made unkind remarks about atheists. I would appreciate the same consideratiobn. Thank you
Do you believe enough to be scammed by Peter Popov? That is the problem with religion, it is a money making scam, a form of mind control, it is a curse on humanity.
0:14 I do not have respect for religion as system of ideas, political power, i can tolerate it as somebody's personal believes if he dont want to impose this system on others, if he himself is only victim of his ideas.
You don't have to respect any religion. You are just being offered salvation and atonement through the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, who is the Second Person of the Triune-Natured God. If you don't want it, that is purely up to you. God will not coerce you or your will. But you must be warned, sir, that rejection of the Atonement & Substitution of the Lord Jesus, necessitates an eternity of torment in Hell & the Lake of Fire, because you have offended not me, but God. Therefore, you have been offered Grace; receive it if you will, as God does not want you to perish. But if not, that is up to you. Peace. And yes, I do choose to worship He whom I cannot fully understand, because He has proven to me over and over again that He does not lie, will not sin, and is perfectly Just & Holy, yet also the definition & root of Love. So, no, you don't have to respect religion, but God Himself will be respected in the end, despite your lack of belief. Philippians 2:10-11: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Thank you also for intelligent and honest dialogue.
If Jesus even did exist, he didnt even talk about hell. he only preached of love and peace. Religion is just putting the mind in a cage. Humans are capable of so much more without the shackles of religion and we need to wake up and break the chains.
"Depart from me, you cursed, into the internal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" seems pretty clear to me. Otherwise, why not say, "Depart from me, you cursed into eternal separation from me"? Was Jesus really that poor at communication that he said "into the internal fire " when he really meant, "into eternal separation"? Seems unlikely. "Eternal fire prepared for the devil"..... ya, that's hell.
Edward Buster In my opinion, he's right about the israel-palestine issue. The palestinian hamas dug themselves into their own grave when they started putting rocket launchers on civilian installations and firing at innocent israelis and digging tunnels into israel, and kidnapping kids.
Bravo Pat Condell, you have the knack of clobbering them in a very convincing manner.I personally do believe that there is something up there that started it all off but that there is no connection between that something and all the power-crazy, money-grabbing, murdering and lying religions.
If you consider yourself a brainwashed religious person, click thumbs down. Or if you're free of religious insanity, and can think for yourself, click thumbs up.
MALayhee700 Its not about taking orders at all its about what is true and false. I understand most aspects of science to a collage level and when I look at evolution for myself I see blatant consistency and facts therefore its the plain truth for me. Lol Dinosaurs coexisting with humans is filled with massive contradiction, speculation, and Strawmen who twist and contort things to support their BS theory unlike real scientists who use the scientific method and test for decades until it becomes valid. We only get one life so your free to believe in whatever makes you happy even if its false.
Luther Paul Lol I can tell you're deluded. Tje big boys at Stanford, Berkley and all this elute schools are actually petitioning to leave Darwinism. Evolution is true. But you were lied to about it. Darwinism accomplished it's goal from what zionist wanted. Darwinism is a component to create a nihilistic society and the devaluation of human life. To a Darwinist...Humans are nothing but dead matter. That philosophy has resulted in one century being an absolute nightmare.
Eh, Christianity helped formed the blessed Western World. I feel like it is an important and good part if our history. Please give me proven facts that makes all of Christianity evil. I'm a proud Christian and I don't demand respect for my religion, but out of respect for me as an intellectual. Treat my ideals with some form of acceptance and less cynicism. Cynicism only leads to ignorance and the refusal of learning or educated debate.
+Billiam The Conqueror it was centuries of struggle by secular forces against theocracy that made the "blessed" Western World. Remember the dark ages? That's when Christianity ran Europe.
Chris Heath The Muslims theologians then refused real miracles/ blood sacrifice and superstitions for the fear that if ( philosophers who are atheists) will end all religions if they manage to " win the cultures " and if they start to dessimenate anti-religious materials that religions are superstitions. Christianity is based on a real miracle THE PHYSICAL RISING OF THE BODY OF THE CHRIST FROM THE DEAD followed by A REAL HELL IN THE COSMOS. Christianity as a Set of miracles and superstitions will end in 50 years . It has no potential to survive.
Billiam The Conqueror I can respect you if YOU if you start READING a book by JOSEPH ATWILL CEASAR MESSIAH : The ROMAN CONSPIRACY to INVENT JESUS. Read about the following: Titus the WICKED also known as TITUS the FLAVIAN JOSEPHUS Bar Matthias also known as JOSEPHUS FLAVIOUS. SAINT PAUL search for his affiliation with the HERODIAN DYNASTY linked to HEROD the great whom the ROMANS EMPLOYED as their client KINGS as EDOMITE KINGS. Also ask yourself why the NEW TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN IN GREEK even though some SCHOLAR even Jewish Scholars claim that JESUS was COMPLETLY EMBEDDED within JUDIASM and ARAMIAC HEBREW like Amy Jill Levine once STATED. Why if the CHRIST was a Jew COMPLETLY embedded in his first CENTURY JUDIASM Then logically the WRITING EMERGING after the SECOND DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE should have been written in ARAMIAC HEBREW, not in GREEK. Why was Aramiac HEBREW appeared only as ENIGMATIC PROPHETIC proclamations within a text fully written in Greek. Did the Roman EMPERORS EMPLOYED some Greek SCRIBES to WRITE them this BOOK..
Faith = fear dressed up as virtue!! Oh you hit it out of the park Pat, that was awesome... Then again so was "faith is an abdication of reality"...spot on! cheers
Actually, there are a lot of intellectual atheists and agnostics capable of writing their own decent polemics on the subject of faith and religion. Dawkins has plenty of company - and Pat's style is distinctly his own.
@@johnlesley2746 Sure he did. Nearly every detail in his explanation of the characteristics of religious faith was in error; at least as pertains to orthodox Christianity. He's most-likely one of the atheists who became so at age 11 and has put zero effort into the subject since then. His talk indicates he thinks all religions are the same. They are not.
Keith Swan We don't need to run and hide as you suggest, because perfect love casts OUT fear, and knowing Jesus can never be denied or revoked. We believers are covered by the Shadow of his Wing and hidden in Christ already !
You say you don't respect religious people for their views, I don't respect people who will insist on trying to drill their anti theist views into people's heads, and act so cocksure that they are right. I'm pretty sure the Bible has a lot of flaws, although there is a source, I am pretty sure on that one. Why not instead of just denouncing all those who are spiritual altogether, you try to find the truth? I know a good way to start, if you have an open mind. But you will end up finding some things you thought were truth to not be truth, even some scientific rules, and it can be scary. But those who have spent any decent amount of time down the road of true knowledge, will start seeing things more clearly. You just have to give it a chance to see for yourself. If you do not try this, I can conclude that you have a closed mind, and are afraid of finding things that shatter your own sense of reality.
Respect is like love, can't be demanded, has to be earned. Religion doesn't earn any respect. Look at the most unhappy, unstable, strife-laden countries today. They are the most religious, and I include America in that.
Its funny to me how you see believing in God as a "rope around your neck" or chains holding you back. To you, it stops people from being free. I feel the exact opposite of that. I feel like when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour I was FREED, unchained, untied and no longer bound up in the garbage of this world and all the endless problems man constantly creates for himself. Christianity doesn't actually promise world peace and love and a life without problems, disaster and death. I think some ppl get disillusioned with it because they expect that if there IS a God he 'should' be doing the things they want, the things they expect a God to do. And because He doesn't, they conclude that it's all a sham. Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. Give you another point if view. Love your vids, plz never stop making them, haha
True, religious delusion can give yoga sensation of freedom albeit one based on fantasy. Feelings don't get you the truth. Better bet w rational thought
Very disappointed Pat. You essentially used the same tactics that you are raging against. Demonizing, belittling, attacking the person through insinuation, etc. Aren't you pontificating as much as the priest in the pulpit at Sunday mass? I understand your main issue is the overreach of a belief. While we, especially in America, have the right of free speech and practice of religion in our first amendment, we have a right to our beliefs, but not the right to enforce them on others. One of the problems, as I see it, is that in demanding the separation of church and state religions are (in theory and somewhat practically) effectively cut off from influencing government - and rightly so. However, Atheism is also a religion with many sects and is not only free to worship at the alter of no god, or science, but has become as destructive as any religion in the practice of forcing their beliefs on others and they use government to accomplish this. Intolerance, hurt feelings, protests, indoctrination, etc are all ways they promote their religion as much as other religions. But Atheists call for the restriction of all other religions in government but their own. Atheism considers itself an ideology but is in fact a religion with an ideology that strives to gain power above all other religions by using the principles of freedom of speech and tolerance. Your title should have been, "Your religion is a joke. Mine is better. Mine will silence all others." Sound like any other religion/ideology we know about?
+Xmystic811 "but not the right to enforce them on others" yep tell that to the gays, the women who want abortions and abortion doctors. Get the fuck out of here hypocrite.
+BillyBowlster Didn't I just say that? Atheist believe in no God but many have faith in government to use the gun to the head to force all others to their way of thinking. Many religions will use words to try to convince/convert you. Government will use guns. Which do you think is more dangerous?
I agree man distorts and twists the bible scriptures to their own end. Therefore avoid them and go straight to the scriptures. A careful study of these scriptures in relation to history and archaeology will then bring a conundrum that can only be explained by a God who lives outside of our time bubble and has infinitel knowledge. Our senses are then challenged to explain fulfilled prophesy the source of information, life and creation.(Evolution is a scientific crock)
+Michael Glynn - Evolution is F-A-C-T. It's now gone WAY beyond theory. It is UNDENIABLE. Ironically, senior clergy and theologians considered evolution as fact, as well. So does the last Pope. The Bishops of Oxford, St. Albans, Hereford, Birmingham, Southwark, Portsmouth believe that evolution is fact. The Archbishop of Canterbury believes that evolution is a fact. Where HAVE YOU BEEN??? If you want to talk about "conundrums" in the scriptures, then simply explain the atrocities in Numbers 31, for me. Let's see you try (and fail) to show the morality, compassion or ethics inherent to all humans except psychopaths, in that chapter. I'll wait :)
You covered a lot of subjects in your rant, so I can only address a few. (1) RE Not showing respect. If you truly believed that something was evil then of course you would not show it respect. For example, if I thought a certain group was a criminal gang committing all sorts of terrible crimes then of course I wouldn't respect it. The error in your logic is lumping all religions and all religious people together. (2) RE The power of the clergy. Your rant seems to be aimed at the catholic church. Not all religions have a powerful clergy, and some have no clergy. Those that have a clergy may not have an abusive clergy. Again, you are not being logical. (3) RE Religion is evil. You go on and on about the (supposed) evils and negative traits of religion. The problem is that you list no evidence, and do exactly what you accuse others of doing. (4) RE Religion has no purpose. Many atheists claim that religion "evolved" because of its survival value. They even admit that the human race might not exist today without religion. Simply knowing some of the reasons why people are religious does not make our species' need for religion disappear. Without indoctrination, children naturally believe in God. Our brains are wired for religion because of it helps our species survive. Richard Dawkins plans to commit suicide before he is too old and frail to accomplish the act. A religious person is more likely to survive. He may father one more child. It's not likely but it does happen. More often the older and wiser man is able to help younger people in the time of crisis. Old people are valuable to their culture. But the atheist isn't there to do that because he was too cowardly and selfish, and put a bullet through his own head. Have a wonderful day.
Religion is evil, have you not noticed all the things they have done and still do given a chance? It is basically like this: people that can make you believe in absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
Krister Andersson Ravioli is evil. Have you not noticed all the things that they have done and still do given a chance? Most rapists, most serial killers, and nearly everyone who returns library books late has, at one time in their lives, eaten ravioli! Canned ravioli is the worst! It's pure evil folks. Anyone who can make you eat pasta can make you commit atrocities.
Thank you Pat for taking the time to tell us your store. I can clearly see you have taking more time to talk about something you don't be leave in. I think that's Faith. Corinthian 2:5 "That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." Also you said peace and gave the hand gesture of peace. What meaning of peace were you using? "freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility." or "freedom from or the cessation of war or violence." What do you seek?
What about true Christianity it’s only man that made it into religion Jesus says He will know He’s disciples for the love for each other true Christianity is about having a relationship with the living God Love peace and righteousness with God But yes who needs religion especially a ideology

I'm a Catholic... yes, yes, forgive me plz! :) However, I find your videos brilliant, logic, even this one. Truly.
Not sure you’ll ever see this but the first time I saw this video, over a decade ago, I was still Christian but was struggling with my beliefs. A friend shared this on Facebook and the first time I saw it I was actually pretty pissed. I don’t know why I was pissed, I guess because someone was telling me the truth about my flimsy beliefs. I ignored this video and its message for a while but I kept trying to think of rebuttals and could not think of any. This led me down a path that would ultimately lead to my freedom from religious mythology and the hold that the cult of Christ has on people. So honestly, thank you. There’s always some idiot who doesn’t appreciate such an intense approach and wants to tell you to calm down or to be more considerate but this video literally helped me get out of the cycle of mental abuse that you must go through to actually convince yourself of the bullshit that is Christianity. Thank you, Pat. Hope you’re well.
@wolf trader As a sceptic i have some problems with your story. You claimed that you have been an atheist but you prayed to the Christian god? That makes no sense. So in other words you believed that the Christian god is real, and after you believed that he is real, you believed that he is real. Great! How do you know it was the Christian god that you felt and not one of the endless amount of other gods? which of the over 39.000 different Christian denominations? So let me try to understand, this god is letting helpless little children die every 2 seconds by the billions, in horror and pain, but he invests his time and magic to help you? Isn´t that an unreal arrogant and disgusting thing to believe? And he uses his magic to play around with your free will and make you a better person, but he did not do that with people like Hitler? Have you ever given any of all this a second thought?
+jed black no, but did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But here's a question that have been trying to figure out for years. Maybe you know! How many licks does it take till you get to the center of a Lil Kim? Hmm...
How can you hate something you don't believe exists? The ones we can't stand are his crazy fangirls,like we get it,you think you're important to soneone kind of magic man's plan

***** It's quite the irony that you claim that scientists have "no answers" as to how the universe operates and the origin of life and yet you insist that a god (YOUR god, of course) magically spawned the universe and complex life forms for the entertainment value of it. Science has mostly explained the phenomenon of life and how it originated. Here's some information on the natural chemical evolution that got evolution started:
people.chem.duke.edu/~jds/cruise_chem/Exobiology/miller.html
Here you will find what science now knows about the evolution of life from the simple beginnings to the variety of life we observe today:
evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_47
Do yourself a favor and discard the absurdities of Islam or any other religious creation mythologies and drag yourself kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Or you can choose to keep yourself in your dismal alternate "reality" of a crude and barbaric 7th century religion.
***** Do you have any knowledge whatsoever of evolution or cosmology or does all your "knowledge" come from the Quran?
***** Also, do you believe the entire Quran is the literal word of Allah and that it is the guide to absolute morality?
***** *That's very interesting rhetoric on your part, but you didn't answer my question about evolution. Evolution is accepted as fact by virtually every scientist in the modern world (which probably doesn't include "scientists" in third-world shitholes like most Islamic societies as a result of the stranglehold Quranic indoctrination has there). It has replaced "intelligent design" as the explanation for the complexity of life and, happily, ID has been kicked out of the classrooms in the vast majority of schools in favor of teaching people about our REAL origins. There are certainly unanswered questions about the cosmos, but science is learning more all the time and many questions will probably be answered eventually. That said, barbaric monstrosities like the god of Islam (and the biblical god) are an affront to reason and civilization and best left to the annals of barbaric mythologies that the world can well do without.*

"Many new questions in regard to almost every principle mentioned by Darwin have arisen. For example, it is asked whether the appearance of a new organ or for that matter any other organic change, always results from the use of that organ and the attempt to adapt it to one's environment or it may be due to mutation or any other cause?"
*Appearance of a new ORGAN? You mean a new organ should somehow appear within humans or some other species that we can observe? It doesn't work that way. Evolution of sight, for example, began with simple photo-receptive cells. There have been evolutionary revisions to the structure of the eye through selective pressure over MILLIONS of years. Educate yourself about it here:*
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_eye
"The organic changes, whatever may be their cause, are always aimed at survival and evolution or sometimes they may be due to the inconsistency with the environmental conditions and may culminate in death and extinction?"
*Evolution by natural selection is all about survival long enough to reproduce and pass genetic information along to offspring. If it aids survival, it is naturally selected and tends to propagate among the gene pool of a given population. If not, it is selected out and that genetic lineage goes no further. Variations in environmental conditions, sexual selection, geographic changes, etcetera can change over time, all of which can direct the evolutionary adaptations of a species.*
"Natural selection is or is not like artificial selection which leads the existing generation to evolution?"
*Artificial selection is a very good analog of natural selection in that it can produce lots of variation among breeds within a species and this is an example of evolution within a species. Speciation is generally a very long term event and requires a species with a rapid generational turnover to be observed.*
*Read more about speciation here:*

I wish I could be as articulate as Pat
I agree....
PokeLifter practice
It's like a music to my ears :)
Just don't say anything bad about Judaism of course. Pat loves Jews. Hating them would interfere with his failing comedy career
He's in the negative side of the line... imagine if he was on the same side with the same figure but on the side of positive. Geometry. 🙄
You have to appreciate the fact that while the Christians in the comments have called Pat an idiot, a communist, a Satanist, and just about every other insult their semi-literate minds can dredge up, they can't bring themselves to actually address anything he says in this video.
+Captain Rhodes Actually this Christian wouldn't sink to that level. He seems like a smart man. I just disagree with him. Not a big deal.
I'm not innocent of being harsh sometimes. Or getting into arguments. But thanks for your kind response. There are billions of us that honestly do not use our religion to cause harm. To our shelves or others. Just as there are Atheist that do the same.
As far as the video. I can tell he truly believes what he says he does. He is passionate about it and even has points he is able to backup. I agree with his comment about those that teach transcendence. And I believe religion can become bondage. I believe there are many that hate religion but love their God.
***** Congratulations on breaking the mold.
Thank you. I was lucky to have been raised by parents that taught kindness. I recall a saying about passing judgement. "There but by the grace of God go I." Meaning we have no right to pass judgement because we are no better than others in Gods eyes. We believe every human is a child of God.
We are called by our God to share the story of salvation but there is a right time and place. We are also called to defend our beliefs and ourselves. But that doesn't mean we are supposed to attack people. Yet many do. And I can certainly understand why many non-believers feel the way they do about Christians.
When Christians shout that someone is going to burn in Hell it makes me sick. In our beliefs only God can decide what happens to someones soul. It shouldn't be used as a scare tactic. I honestly suspect God doesn't like it. No one comes to God through force.
***** Once again, I'm impressed. Thank you for conducting yourself in this manner. It isn't often that one sees intelligence and civility in the comments section of TH-cam.
Pat, you have an amazing expressive ability that I envy to the extreme. The world needs clear voices like you say it as it is. I salute you.
Imposing you religious beliefs on your children should be classed as child abuse!
What about tradition?
Why should I respect someone who actively worships a god that demanded the killing of children?
Why should I respect someone who believes I deserve to be tortured forever?
Why should I respect someone who kills millions of chinese Mao. Or why should I respect someone who can slaughter their fellow fleshy moist robots without question. Atheism has no moral objection to evil you dont get to play atheism has morality as nothing has any meaning, You steal that from religion, in atheism all those things you said are not wrong or right they just happen. I can murder and rape anyone I want and there is nothing to hold me to for being right or wrong in doing so
Only your subjective belief that what i did is wrong. If i want to murder rape beat someone torture someone. Well you have nothing which you can object to my behavior with. I'm simple a hedonistic nihilistic fleshy moist robot seeking maximum pleasure for my life.
Your subjective morality is just that subjective and meaningless to me. As I simply reject it out of hand and do whatever I want when I want to whoever I want. I only need the strength and power to do it to you. And its not wrong anything I would do to you. Its just me doing what I WANT
@@Dobermann89-dr2rc retard alert!
Ever notice how intelligent comedians are? Carlin, Stephen Wright, Ricky Gervais, Pat Condell. They are all attuned to the absurdities of life. They see through the BS. They are the supreme satirists of our age, no less than Voltaire, Swift, and Mencken were in theirs.
And I notice the opposite is true of politicians!Even when they use it for political gain and probably dont believe in it themselves it stunts their thinking and public discourse!Just one case in point youve got Obama,who claimed to be a christian and now hes been pretty much outed as a muslim and hes always having to play it cool even when issues of the day bring up his hypocracy regularly and make an unfunny liar out of him!But then he came out of zionist politics in Chicago and appears at apac all the time and do their bidding!No wonder every body is confused and not laughing with him but at him!!

Occasionally somebody speaks my mind more eloquently than I do.
Your atheism is a joke
"Religion is fear dressed up as virtue."
Spot on. Cowardice.
Frederic Mercier The ones who are courageous are the ones who search and find their own meaning in life without having to have it dictated to them on a platter. That is a truly frightening prospect, and takes effort and guts to undertake, but is the path that is most rewarding and leads to true truth.
Frederic Mercier Sure your faith is your choice, but it's a choice to be dictated to. Your faith dictates to you what you believe after you choose to believe it.
As for what is truly truth, nor does religion tell you what is true. You have faith it's true, as do I from my own experience and growth. And frankly, I cannot respect (much less worship) any deity that would demand and reward sheer belief over a creature of its own creation questioning and taking a lifelong journey in pursuit of knowledge pertaining to the the reality of its own existence. If I am to be judged when I pass on for thinking for myself, then so be it. It is a truly sick world if I'm to be condemned for such.
If you and many others wish to look for those answers in faith, so be it, but I don't find that respectable in any respect, I'm sorry. I find it quite pitiable. We deserve to be free of fear to be able explore and relish living. Religion and faith precludes that in favor of strict adherence to dogmatism. As the saying goes, "Philosophy deals with questions that may never be answered. Religion deals with answers that may never be questioned".
That, right there, is the gist of my problem with faith and the "deals with questions that may never be answered" part is why it's so scary.....but is also precisely why it is so liberating at the same time.

One might say that that is also what religion does in a way.
yea he is really good at that isn't he. I wish I could do anything close to that.
I cannot agree more with you. It drive's me up the wall how uneducated some of this world are. Still believing in religion, still believing the Earth is flat, still believing we never went to the moon. We need to educate the world. Its 2015 now, and the human race should be moving to the future. Instead things like religion and the flat earth society simply hold progression back.
If I recall correctly, it was modern "scientists" who thought the earth was flat, scripture revealed the earth isn't flat a very long time prior to "science"
+milleziano What? Please show me your evidence for that ridiculous claim. There was never a time when scientists thought the earth was flat, a common misconception. We know of ancient cultures that predate the bible and even they knew the earth was a globe!
Plus the bible actually claims the earth to be flat.
Dead Aces The bible or Tanakh is the records kept by the Israelite nation and I agree that there were people prior to Israel who believed the earth was flat. Scripture doesn't say the earth is flat, maybe you can show scriptural proof for this claim. Also, I don't agree this flat earth theory is a misconception in regards to modern science.
+Dead Aces Ask Charlie Duke, A friend of mine that was one of the last people to '' Walk on the Moon '' . He believes in God !
+milleziano Oh, so if an ancient book says that some people believed in a flat earth thousands of years ago, these people must have been scientists...
...even though science didn't really exist until the 18th century.
GTFO.

@@j919or Satan does not exist.
This all dawned on me 60+ years ago as a young seminarian; the full impact did not happen overnight but the initial gut feeling started then, while training to be an R.C. priest.
Actually, even as a small boy, I never really believed in it.
Around the age of 6/7/8 you gradually realise that there is no Father Xmas and no Tooth-Fairy either but your Catholicism sticks with you even though you do not see, in your child's mind, why your religion is valid still. After all, there is your headmistress, a nun at school and then at grammar school, there is the headmaster, with grey hair and a kindly smile - an Irish Christian Brother. There is the parish priest who you serve Mass for, Sunday after Sunday - all believers, or so it would seem. So hang on in there, Keith, and do as they say and pray for the GIFT of FAITH, like they say you should do.... and everything will turn out right.
EXCEPT that ermmmmmm NOPE......everything did not turn out right, at least vis-a-vis any vindication of faith.
I left the seminary at 18 and slowly, very slowly it all fell into place.
The weekend I left was the first step; i did not go to mass - a huge step for a hitherto observant Catholic schoolboy. From that day on, I grew ever bolder and eventually dismissed all the b.s. that we had had thrust down our throats by our teachers, the nuns and the Irish Christian Brothers who were many things, dear old fellows BUT Christian.
I thought it was just me that thought like that; just me that had apostasised. But NO...!
Roll on a few decades, the 60's 70's 80's 90'sand the noughties.... and what have we now...?

@.15 Pat reviews a criticism he received that he should have more respect for those of faith. He responds that he is justified in calling it a crock of delusional garbage and a force for evil in the world.
***Pat exposes his negative bias with this hasty gen fallacy. Nothing he says can be proven of a group, though undoubtedly true of some bad eggs. Any criticism that is interpreted and applied to a group is suspect for each criticism is reasonably individual and even temporary for individuals all make mistakes at their different stages of growth.
@1.00 Pat on the back postulates with acute detail and evidence that faith is a joke and GOD is a joke because he has seen no evidence of either.
***This is the argument from silence fallacy since Pat's lack of evidence is not evidence against any GOD argument, but just evidence that Pat is not equipped to form a logical stance both by virtue of his 1. Ignorance of the subject matter and his 2. Abundant use of logical fallacies throughout his speech. 3. Negative bias against the Creator of the universe ruling his life 4. Refusal to admit that he is the evil one projecting onto GOD.

I have watched lots of Pat's videos now and never have I disagreed with a single comment that the guy has made.
I don't agree with him on Brexit but I adore this video. totally on point. I just wouldn't want my friends to think I am not a firm supporter of Remain just because I like pat. But alas I'm american so maybe I have less right - I just know the brits I admire are mostly remainers. I want the ability to take what I see of virtue in some of these people and use them like a Salad bar ;p I shouldn't have to stomach all of pats beliefs to find some of what he does useful.
I disagree with some of his politics, especially since it does not translate from his system in England to ours, but when it comes to religion I am with him 100%.
@@TheMooCowReturns My sentiments exactly. My friends from England are all remainers. but I am with pat 100% on religion.
Well said Pat. I find it incredible in this day and age, that educated people can still believe these fairy tales!
They're not really educated. One can attend school their whole life and still be an idiot.
I just "stumbled" upon this video and I love it! Love every word you said and the way you said it.
*Well done!*
This comments section is fun. So many angry believers throwing the bible around and every one of them being countered by logic and fact. I love seeing this.
All religions die out eventually. Might not be in our lifetime, but eventually there just wont be any left. Youth of today are becoming less and less religion-bound, and the diehard fanatics are dying off.
Corgblam
2000+ years, going strong. Growing by leaps and bounds in Africa and other regions of the world where people are spiritually alive and uncorrupted by Satan's lies...like this video. God bless you, Corgblam. I hope you might one day have eyes to see.
*****
You mean in Africa where dictators that believe in god mow down helpless civilians with machine guns? Atheism is growing around the world. Fourty years ago, it was 10% of Americans. Now its 43%.
Joseph Salmons And you think god exists because a book said so, thats about as far as your christian logic goes. You have no argument except for your circular hypocritical bullshit. You have no evidence to support your bible. We can all see you were not burdened with an overabundance of schooling. Sit down before your hurt yourself.
***** Ya mean were ppl are full of hate,and are for a fact thee most un-educated dumbasses on earth live?...Yup..Only weak minded idiots would believe in god...That's why its flushing there..duhh
I agree 100%! If only more people were as reasonable and open-minded, religions would have gone extinct by now and we'd be able to progress further as a species without medieval mindsets holding us down.
Yeah, sure- because being open-minded requires everyone being stripped of their religion.
Kindah Al Alawi Honey, you don't NEED religion to survive in this life. You only follow it because you were born into it :) Religion is a CHOICE, not a NECESSITY. And as the centuries go by more and more people will realize how ultimately needless it really is.
Being open-minded means that you should feel comfortable with people's religious choices without hoping that time will change that. Dementiaize
If you talk about G. and don't know G.,
the truth is you have no idea what you're talking about.
If you think because you have no relationship with G., therefore no one else does, that's equally ill informed,presumptuous, & egotistical.
Kindah Al Alawi Well I scarcely feel comfortable around religions that require for example violently taking other people's lives simply because they do not believe in the same God ... and that's all I have to say on the matter
Faith is not a virtue. It is a gift.
Self delusion is hardly a 'gift' worth keeping. Toss it away and replace it with something better: an education that trains your mind to think critically and demand evidence for wild, fanciful claims.
@@TheMooCowReturnsThat is not faith. Real "faith" and belief in something requires evidence.
Faith is a snake disguised as a bunny rabbit.
@@TheMooCowReturns I totally agree with you. Only, faith is not self delusion.
I worship you Pat. If the human race ever moves forward it will be because of people like you. ❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

very well said...I tried to turn my life around and thought being a christian was the right thing..and as I started learning more,the more none of it made any sense. christianity only lasted 2 months with me. I am so grateful to be one of the ones to wake up,and it sucks when you know the truth and try to tell everyone and they think you are crazy.. I would get no love on my spiritual posts but when i post something funny and stupid that has no meaning...everybody likes it...Just goes to show how many people are asleep...
+Miss Nina I was raised catholic, I never got any religious feeling. Then when I was forced to buy a bible at 9, I read it. Never give me something to read that you don't want me to read. Fair WARNING.
You know what is said? That which is seen cannot be unseen? Well, by the time I got to Cain & Abel, I'd seen ENOUGH. I have often asked religious people about this problem & yet to have a reasonable answer.
All I've gotten is teeth thrown at me. LOL. God lied, problem solved. ???? Cain fucked his sister???? Problem why didn't it say sister? Why was his sister called a woman of NOD? The rest is silence.....
Any of you want to make me a christian again. Answer the god damn question.
+Agnes Philomena What is the point of this assertion? This is one huge reason why people are turned off by Christianity. You and your lot sit back and pretend like you know what's going on in everyone's head, their motivations, their justifications, etc. Why can't you just admit that some people legitimately have trouble believing those things which you presume to be true?
+Miss Nina 2 months huh? made you an expert>? Sorry, Miss Nina, it did not, "suit", you. Was it to big? or to small? Poor girl. So, sorry it did not work out. For you. So, was it this YT Video, which swayed you're conscience, or was it something else? (just wondering)
Mike Arthut all of religion tells you what to think and believe...all just stories that make no sense and the bible is too hypocritical to take seriously..if Jesus wanted to show himself to me I'm sure he could but I guess he just chooses not to huh...I choose to believe in what makes sense
+Miss Nina Well, Miss Nina, you have said nothing, that makes sense. First of all, why would Jesus, show him self to you? A Jezebel, a harlot, of satan himself? What makes sense to you, is money. or souls. So, tell me, tell all of us, is it money, or souls of dead men>?
I just discovered your channel. It's awesome!
I hope you have shared all over?
I adore how the words just flow out of your mouth. Thank you, Pat.
Thank you Mr. Condell for your eloquent summation of how so many of us feel about religion. You have perfectly expressed my thoughts on the subject better than I could myself. Bravo!
Thank you, Pat. Nailed it! I just wish I could remember half of what Pat said so I could repeat it! I really should try harder. I guess religion is the single-most thing that has stopped humanity from progressing further. Thank goodness for scientific brains who reason with logic and common sense and put aside faith.
[03:36]
“If you’re a believer, your faith allows you to adopt a set of beliefs that make absolutely no sense, knowing that you won’t be measured by whether they make sense, but by the level of _piety_ that you exhibit in believing them. In other words, your willingness to deny reality becomes a measure of your virtue. No wonder religion is so popular.
¶
But what a price you pay for this virtue? You’ve been persuaded that believing in the _impossible_ is your only hope. How did that happen? And that your purpose is to worship something beyond your understanding, defined by and only accessible through self-appointed intermediaries.” - Pat Condell, _Your Faith Is A Joke_ (2010-12-16) [03:36]

"Where's the respect for Athiest's?"
Jason Lee Atheist’s What? Massive Satanic Penis?
Think about it. Atheists aren’t putting any claim forth about the unknown. That is what is in question for respect.
@@sambaxter8236 Um yes atheism is putting forth a claim for the unknown, That is exactly what atheism is doing. NO GOD IS A TRUTH CLAIM. Hi welcome and join us other believers in out little faiths. Atheism is a faith and a religion in that it has a belief.

I don’t know who this guy is, but I fucking love him!!! What an awesome, amazing, phenomenal, inspirational, passionate rant on the disgusting, hateful, pathetic, ignorant, arrogant, evil cult of Christianity & all the man made horrible religions in this world!
One of the most logical and beautiful posts of our beloved Pat.
Come on Pat! No need to beat about the bush! If you believe religion is baloney, just say so.
Pat is of the antichrist spirit, he thinks he can save himself by his own good works, which is false, God says none of us are righteous; no, not one, for that reason, he sent his son Jesus, 1/3 of the Jews will know Jesus, 2/3 will be lost, like 2/3 of this world or more.
+clarence puckett.Pat is of the commonsense spirit. He truthfully speaks out about the nonsense of religion. He does not think he can save himself, because he does not believe he has a soul which would need saving. But like a good drone, you and the other religious people here keep posting your unsupportable and unverifiable beliefs.
Jeff; I am not religious, I am righteous, I have repented of my sins, which all of us are born in/with, because of the fall of Adam/Eve, Jesus came to save that which was lost, if you die without him, you die lost, forever, and that is about as common sense as I can express it, the world is full of religious folks, but do not know the one true savior; Jesus Christ.
+Clarence puckett.I am quite sure you believe that. However, you have no evidence to show it is true. That is one of the big problems with religious claims. Yes it is a religious claim.
Not just a claim; but a changed life, until that happens, all u have is religion, and the whole world is religious, and going to hell; or most of it. II Corinthians 5:17 [a new creature in Christ Jesus]
My Father once told me " Your Mind is like a parachute " ....It doesn't function unless it is OPEN ! Thanks again Pat !
OH very gud
I feel sorry for you. I was given the gift of faith and I am very grateful. Without God you have nothing.
Erika Dolan
That is not the gift of faith. It's called dopamine, and the god you are talking about is a made up stupidity which has concept that makes you satisfied. On the other hand, those with just a tiny bit of brain don't need imaginary friend to feel happy.

So I️ guess it’s time to burn !!
"Your willingness to deny reality, becomes a measure of your virtue "
Brilliant. The best definition of faith i have heard yet.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and my word was it fantastic! The arguments, so concise, so blunt, so thorough and so well deserved by the religious. Religion is the burning shackle that swears life would be worse without it holding you to the ground, forcing you to bow down and submit your delusionally created "eternal soul" to another delusion called "god." Great video, great points, bravo.
Religion has always been created by humans and it has always been made to control. What policeman would be better at punishing "criminals" than one who you can never see, but always sees you. The biblical god is not a benevolent savior worthy of love, he is a malevolent punisher demanding fear. (I only address Christianity because that's the religion I know of. I'm sure few religions are better.)
This dude makes perfect sense to me -- the only problem with his message is that fundamentalist ( or at least the ones I know ) don't have the intelligence to get what he is saying. I guess that's why religion will always have a stronghold on at least some of us.
I'll thumb that up, Neil. I think this gets forgotten a lot of the time. I'll be the first to admit that i know some HIGHLY intelligent theists, people who have created great things. However, sometimes, they have a kind of gap in their intelligence, a space that was filled a long time ago and won't be touched by reason. It was filled by their upbringing and culture. They can still be as intelligent as any other but will always cling to these bullshit beliefs like their life depended on it. Thanks Neil.
edit: Please though Neil, drop the caps. For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, please.
Pat, thank you for being there and giving us your best comments. You're fantastic.

now just imagine this man is the president of us, please run for president
You said it perfectly Mr. Condell. Applause. Very powerful and articulate and logical and rational.
No respect, just ridicule and contempt for people who believe in nonsense. especially for religion.
Only someone with a reprobate mind could look at all God's creation and think there is not a creator.
Try and be rational. Putting aside theories arising from a big bang event within a possible infinite number of universes within a multi-verse, let’s think logically. Something (whatever you call it - “God”,
“stuff” etc.) cannot come from absolute nothingness. We can surely agree therefore that there has
eternally been “something”. If there is just matter and energy, over an eternity, the world we live in will have
inevitably come into being. To say there must have been a creator because there is “stuff” (currently including us, mountains and cats) is nonsensical, because there MUST have always been something and that will lead over aeons to an infinite number of scenarios. The World is full of naturally occurring horrors such as cancer, tape worms, Ebola, tsetse fly. No doubt you regard these as products created by a benevolent creator. However, if you develop your reasoning, you will understand these are simply the inevitable product of matter and energy over time. The World is not good or evil…it just is.
Go away, please. Read a book that doesn't include fairy tails, genius.
BIke ? Regardless of your "there must be something" theory ,rational people will reserve their judgemnt until evidence proves otherwise . In the same way you look at the world and say there must be a divine creator , who is responsible for and watches over all things , then I contradict you by saying take off your roses tinted glasses and look at hunger , poverty, disease , war , natural disasters and tell me God loves the world and we his children. . Youre nuts !!!! Plain nuts !!!
hold differently to Pat, but just love him, he canthink as he wishes. I still like him and I still believe.
and worse are those who hide behind the spiritual and philosophy garb.
Pat is Christopher Hitchens bulldog and a religious clerics worst nightmare. Excellent stuff.
good 'un
It sounds from what Pat says and from across the comments that many believe it's wrong to believe in Jesus and God. Is that correct? At what is the snark aimed? On the basis of what belief is such faith wrong?
I like this guy 'cause he isn't offended by Nativity Scenes or anything. And said they are only on public property temporarily.
love your messages Pat.
thanks.
I am THEIST. I believe in GOD.
I Worship the Peacock, the Tortoise, The Crocodile, the Tiger, The Lion, The Banyan Tree, The Coconut Tree, The Clouds, the River and the SUN, The Mountain etc etc etc etc.
One does not have to be in a state of hypnosys to understand that the Trees have to be thanked and worshipped.
Worshipping the clouds Does Not require an intermedairy, They are visible to the Naked Eye.
My religion does NOT have Balsphemy Laws or Apostasy Laws. We NEVER Murder or Publicly Behead people who choose to be Atheists or Agnostics or who wish to convert. We ALWAYS RESPECT INDIVIDUAL CHOICE.
And Hence, I do firmly believe, that since I have Never condemned an Atheist to Death-sentence, an Atheist can, at-least show us a little more Respect.
***** , You are Not being fair Mr. Jimmax.
1. NONE of my ancestors Ever ever went out on a Jihad or a Crusade.
2. Even Today, NONE of my Uncles / sons/ Fathers / Brothers have the Blood of any Innocent on their hands.
3. We NEVER offer bribes / jobs to people and coerce them to convert.
4. Of the several Holy Books that we believe in; one is the Charavaka Siddhanta [ The Book of the Atheists].
5. Atheists are totally FREE to Ignore God, because GOD looks at the conduct and behaviour of a person and NOT at the number of times he prostrates. [ God Herself Says so].
Fine, you have genuine grudges against the people who 'Sell" Bible to you and Islam ; the less said the better...
BUT, What is your Grudge against Me and My people????
You picked up a Brush and simply painted ALL THEISTS AS EVIL.
So, tell me...... How is is exactly that My people have offended you, or caused you any trouble????
***** You are Right, Mr. Jimmax. It's Just that, When you said, "Bloodshed on the Planet today; All in the name of One God or another" ; I ASSUMED that you had included The Sun, The Rivers and The God Of the Tall Trees ; The God of the Short Shrubs etc etc etc in the List of Gods in whose names Bloodshed does happen.
Charavaka Siddhantha [The Book of the Athiests] is originally written in Sanskrit.
The followers of this book are Atheists and Do Not believe in God.
However, they Never purposely pick-up a quarrel with a Theist. Just like you have rightly said, Charavaka [Atheist] does not mean Intolerant.
Charavakas [ Atheists] and the rest of us have co-existed peacefully for centuries.
I remember watching some of his stand-up comedy a while back. This man is so smart, most of his jokes went over people's heads. Genius. 🤣 😂
where can i order the book :) i want more :D
ive noticed after comment indeed :)
Welcome to reason, but don't feel like you have to display smileys to us. Honestly, plain English is just fine my friend.
Pat Condell is obviously quite a character. I like him and respect him for his candor. I've enjoyed listening to his views on Islam. Then sadly, he extended those same views to all religion. I don't know if it would be counter-productive to tell Pat that my faith is not in a religion but in a wonderful man named Jesus. No, I don't suppose so. Anything based on faith and not on reason is sufficient reason for Pat to not only reject it, but even hate it. Lord knows, I wouldn't want Pat to hate me. I don't know Pat, but I have to guess he's not a very happy man. As for me; I've never been happier in my life since I met the Lord. Thanks for listening
Jesus was a nutcase who believed the world would end in the first century. Since it didn't and has carried on for a further 2000 years and will probably continue to exists for hundred of millions of years this is not a trivial error on his behalf! What makes him different than other cult leaders like David Koresh or Jim Jones who also believed the world would end? When are you going to come out of your delusion and stop believing in this mythical dead cosmic zombie?
Oops, Peter. Jesus is still alive, remember? Over five hundred people were witnesses to that fact. Be very careful what you call Him. That's all I want to say. Thanks
Frederic Mercier
Jesus told people to leave their families, give all their money away and give up their jobs and follow him. He expected the world to end in his lifetime and it says so in the gospels. Since it didn't and hasn't happened that makes him no different than David Koresh, Jim Jones or Charles Manson all who in recent years also predicted the world would end and yet it hasn't. Claiming Jesus just predicted the sacking of Jerusalem is just a cop out, The fact is he was a failed deluded cult leader who was wrong. Had it not been for Constantine who arbitrarily chose Christianity as a religion to unite his empire rather than some other cult Jesus would now be in the same position of Zeus, Thor, Woatang, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Celestial Teapot, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy or any number of imaginary beings that nobody believes in any more.

Oh-oh, Peter, did you catch that veiled threat from Frank? Better watch your step or his invisible friend will GETCHA.

I am terrified! NOT! LOL
well, sorry you feel that way, but it's not going to change my mind about what I believe. And I'm sure YOU would like to be respected as well. It's a 2 way street. have a pleasant day
I hAve a message from god to you, he said:
Cynthia, love Me or I'll burn in you if you don't
You believe in that shit because you happened to be born in a christian environment, if you were born in a muslim country you'd be a muslim. You know there's something wrong when your beliefs are fully decided by the society in which you happen to be born. You were brainwashed into believeing that shit, so were those before you and those around you. Free yourself from those silly beliefs created by ignorant desert people thousands of years ago.
what difference does it make to y'all what I choose to believe? I do not attack atheists and am not a wild eyed fundie (Who, by the way treats even other christians with the same venom as they treat atheists if we do not go to their church) Kindly note that I'n not crazy about the fundies either and have not made unkind remarks about atheists. I would appreciate the same consideratiobn. Thank you
Do you believe enough to be scammed by Peter Popov? That is the problem with religion, it is a money making scam, a form of mind control, it is a curse on humanity.
Repeating myself: Why do you care what I believe?? I have attacked no one
Well done...truly great series...keep it up pat
0:14 I do not have respect for religion as system of ideas, political power, i can tolerate it as somebody's personal believes if he dont want to impose this system on others, if he himself is only victim of his ideas.
This is fucking gold
Truer words were never spoken.
You don't have to respect any religion. You are just being offered salvation and atonement through the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, who is the Second Person of the Triune-Natured God. If you don't want it, that is purely up to you. God will not coerce you or your will. But you must be warned, sir, that rejection of the Atonement & Substitution of the Lord Jesus, necessitates an eternity of torment in Hell & the Lake of Fire, because you have offended not me, but God. Therefore, you have been offered Grace; receive it if you will, as God does not want you to perish. But if not, that is up to you. Peace.
And yes, I do choose to worship He whom I cannot fully understand, because He has proven to me over and over again that He does not lie, will not sin, and is perfectly Just & Holy, yet also the definition & root of Love.
So, no, you don't have to respect religion, but God Himself will be respected in the end, despite your lack of belief.
Philippians 2:10-11:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Thank you also for intelligent and honest dialogue.
Is Pat's perception of religion - and other related subjects - sheer genius, or what? I savour every word.
If Jesus even did exist, he didnt even talk about hell. he only preached of love and peace. Religion is just putting the mind in a cage. Humans are capable of so much more without the shackles of religion and we need to wake up and break the chains.
But JESUS himself never said a single thing about hell, because it doesnt exist
TigR 5hark Exactly, even if he did exist, he never said a single word on damnation
+Tommy Gianotti
Matt. 25:41 - Jesus says, "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
stan frymann that doesnt mean hes talking about "hell" he just means seperation from God
"Depart from me, you cursed, into the internal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" seems pretty clear to me. Otherwise, why not say, "Depart from me, you cursed into eternal separation from me"? Was Jesus really that poor at communication that he said "into the internal fire " when he really meant, "into eternal separation"? Seems unlikely.
"Eternal fire prepared for the devil"..... ya, that's hell.
Pat...tell us what you 'really' think!
The only thing I've ever disagreed with this man on is nationalism and anti-Feminism. With everything else, he's always spot-on.
He's wrong about Israel-Palestine and I think he's kind of boring. He's funny sometimes.
Edward Buster In my opinion, he's right about the israel-palestine issue. The palestinian hamas dug themselves into their own grave when they started putting rocket launchers on civilian installations and firing at innocent israelis and digging tunnels into israel, and kidnapping kids.
Zillico TV And storing weapons in schools and abandoned neighborhoods.
Bravo Pat Condell, you have the knack of clobbering them in a very convincing manner.I personally do believe that there is something up there that started it all off but that there is no connection between that something and all the power-crazy, money-grabbing, murdering and lying religions.
Dude pat speaks the truth I'm not some old person either I'm 23 but it's just common since

onsaphi .............I'm done good bye. Darwinism is rejected by secular science. Scientist doesn't equal atheist all the time.
I hope your not the same guy who thinks dinosaurs lived with humans. Your profile picture looks familiar.
Luther Paul Yeah they did. Because I don't fucking sit down and take orders. I actually think for myself thank you.
MALayhee700 Its not about taking orders at all its about what is true and false. I understand most aspects of science to a collage level and when I look at evolution for myself I see blatant consistency and facts therefore its the plain truth for me. Lol Dinosaurs coexisting with humans is filled with massive contradiction, speculation, and Strawmen who twist and contort things to support their BS theory unlike real scientists who use the scientific method and test for decades until it becomes valid. We only get one life so your free to believe in whatever makes you happy even if its false.
Luther Paul Lol I can tell you're deluded. Tje big boys at Stanford, Berkley and all this elute schools are actually petitioning to leave Darwinism. Evolution is true. But you were lied to about it. Darwinism accomplished it's goal from what zionist wanted. Darwinism is a component to create a nihilistic society and the devaluation of human life. To a Darwinist...Humans are nothing but dead matter. That philosophy has resulted in one century being an absolute nightmare.
Thanks, from Holland, you are brilliant, thank you...
He needs to work on getting his real feelings out, lol. In all seriousness, I really enjoy his points of view.
Eh, Christianity helped formed the blessed Western World. I feel like it is an important and good part if our history. Please give me proven facts that makes all of Christianity evil. I'm a proud Christian and I don't demand respect for my religion, but out of respect for me as an intellectual. Treat my ideals with some form of acceptance and less cynicism. Cynicism only leads to ignorance and the refusal of learning or educated debate.
+Billiam The Conqueror it was centuries of struggle by secular forces against theocracy that made the "blessed" Western World. Remember the dark ages? That's when Christianity ran Europe.
+Eric van Bezooijen Actually, the Dark Ages were when Islam ruled the trade routes around the Mediterannean, Middle, and Far East.
Chris Heath
The Muslims theologians then
refused real miracles/ blood sacrifice and superstitions for the fear that if ( philosophers who are atheists) will end all religions if they manage to " win the cultures " and if they start to dessimenate anti-religious materials that religions are superstitions. Christianity is based on a real miracle THE PHYSICAL RISING OF THE BODY OF THE CHRIST FROM THE DEAD followed by A REAL HELL IN THE COSMOS.
Christianity as a Set of miracles and superstitions will end in 50 years . It has no potential to survive.
I think when part of it is evil, the whole would be, since you gave to accept it in whole or not at all.
Billiam The Conqueror
I can respect you if YOU if you start READING a book by JOSEPH ATWILL CEASAR MESSIAH : The ROMAN CONSPIRACY to INVENT JESUS.
Read about the following:
Titus the WICKED also known as TITUS the FLAVIAN
JOSEPHUS Bar Matthias also known as JOSEPHUS FLAVIOUS.
SAINT PAUL search for his affiliation with the HERODIAN DYNASTY linked to HEROD the great whom the ROMANS EMPLOYED as their client KINGS as EDOMITE KINGS.
Also ask yourself why the NEW TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN IN GREEK
even though some SCHOLAR even Jewish Scholars claim that JESUS was COMPLETLY EMBEDDED within JUDIASM and ARAMIAC HEBREW like Amy Jill Levine once STATED.
Why if the CHRIST was a Jew COMPLETLY embedded in his first CENTURY JUDIASM
Then logically the WRITING EMERGING after the SECOND DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE should have been written in ARAMIAC HEBREW, not in GREEK.
Why was Aramiac HEBREW appeared only as ENIGMATIC PROPHETIC proclamations within a text fully written in Greek.
Did the Roman EMPERORS EMPLOYED
some Greek SCRIBES to WRITE them this BOOK..
Faith = fear dressed up as virtue!! Oh you hit it out of the park Pat,
that was awesome... Then again so was "faith is an abdication of reality"...spot on!
cheers
Faith is believing on something that can NOT stand on it's own merit.
Sounds just like Richard Dawkins wrote this XD
He actually did
Actually, there are a lot of intellectual atheists and agnostics capable of writing their own decent polemics on the subject of faith and religion. Dawkins has plenty of company - and Pat's style is distinctly his own.
This guy's ignorance in terms of Bible knowledge is only surpassed by the amount of logical fallacies he makes in this video...
He didn't say anything that wasn't true.

How’s that ? It’s a book of mythology and fables
@@johnlesley2746 Sure he did. Nearly every detail in his explanation of the characteristics of religious faith was in error; at least as pertains to orthodox Christianity. He's most-likely one of the atheists who became so at age 11 and has put zero effort into the subject since then. His talk indicates he thinks all religions are the same. They are not.
@@jogriffin9347 And don't forget the lies & nonsense!

Warning to belivers| run to your "Safe Faith Space" now
Keith Swan We don't need to run and hide as you suggest, because perfect love casts OUT fear, and knowing Jesus can never be denied or revoked. We believers are covered by the Shadow of his Wing and hidden in Christ already !
Val O'Brien You mean Satan, our true Lord and Savior?
not running anywhere. saints are not wimps, they endured much worse than this over the centuries. Try a little honesty.
Bravo. Well thought and delivered. Thanks Pat
You say you don't respect religious people for their views, I don't respect people who will insist on trying to drill their anti theist views into people's heads, and act so cocksure that they are right. I'm pretty sure the Bible has a lot of flaws, although there is a source, I am pretty sure on that one. Why not instead of just denouncing all those who are spiritual altogether, you try to find the truth? I know a good way to start, if you have an open mind. But you will end up finding some things you thought were truth to not be truth, even some scientific rules, and it can be scary. But those who have spent any decent amount of time down the road of true knowledge, will start seeing things more clearly. You just have to give it a chance to see for yourself. If you do not try this, I can conclude that you have a closed mind, and are afraid of finding things that shatter your own sense of reality.
You mean shatter his own faults, a person who is so stubborn to admit his mistakes, a coward with a dead conscious
Well said.
Respect is like love, can't be demanded, has to be earned. Religion doesn't earn any respect. Look at the most unhappy, unstable, strife-laden countries today. They are the most religious, and I include America in that.
Wow! Why hasn't TH-cam shut this down? Keep up the good work Pat.
John 4:24
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
cobblers
believing in aliens makes far more sense than pretending that there is an invisible god who lives in the sky
Its funny to me how you see believing in God as a "rope around your neck" or chains holding you back. To you, it stops people from being free.
I feel the exact opposite of that. I feel like when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour I was FREED, unchained, untied and no longer bound up in the garbage of this world and all the endless problems man constantly creates for himself.
Christianity doesn't actually promise world peace and love and a life without problems, disaster and death. I think some ppl get disillusioned with it because they expect that if there IS a God he 'should' be doing the things they want, the things they expect a God to do. And because He doesn't, they conclude that it's all a sham.
Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. Give you another point if view.
Love your vids, plz never stop making them, haha
True, religious delusion can give yoga sensation of freedom albeit one based on fantasy.
Feelings don't get you the truth. Better bet w rational thought
Very disappointed Pat. You essentially used the same tactics that you are raging against. Demonizing, belittling, attacking the person through insinuation, etc. Aren't you pontificating as much as the priest in the pulpit at Sunday mass? I understand your main issue is the overreach of a belief. While we, especially in America, have the right of free speech and practice of religion in our first amendment, we have a right to our beliefs, but not the right to enforce them on others. One of the problems, as I see it, is that in demanding the separation of church and state religions are (in theory and somewhat practically) effectively cut off from influencing government - and rightly so. However, Atheism is also a religion with many sects and is not only free to worship at the alter of no god, or science, but has become as destructive as any religion in the practice of forcing their beliefs on others and they use government to accomplish this. Intolerance, hurt feelings, protests, indoctrination, etc are all ways they promote their religion as much as other religions. But Atheists call for the restriction of all other religions in government but their own. Atheism considers itself an ideology but is in fact a religion with an ideology that strives to gain power above all other religions by using the principles of freedom of speech and tolerance. Your title should have been, "Your religion is a joke. Mine is better. Mine will silence all others." Sound like any other religion/ideology we know about?
+Xmystic811 "but not the right to enforce them on others" yep tell that to the gays, the women who want abortions and abortion doctors. Get the fuck out of here hypocrite.
+BillyBowlster Didn't I just say that? Atheist believe in no God but many have faith in government to use the gun to the head to force all others to their way of thinking. Many religions will use words to try to convince/convert you. Government will use guns. Which do you think is more dangerous?
How can one person be wrong on so many accounts it’s bewildering?? Atheism is an ideology ?? WTF like saying baldness is a hairstyle
Excellent dissertation, thank you.
I agree man distorts and twists the bible scriptures to their own end. Therefore avoid them and go straight to the scriptures. A careful study of these scriptures in relation to history and archaeology will then bring a conundrum that can only be explained by a God who lives outside of our time bubble and has infinitel knowledge. Our senses are then challenged to explain fulfilled prophesy the source of information, life and creation.(Evolution is a scientific crock)
+Michael Glynn - Evolution is F-A-C-T. It's now gone WAY beyond theory. It is UNDENIABLE. Ironically, senior clergy and theologians considered evolution as fact, as well. So does the last Pope. The Bishops of Oxford, St. Albans, Hereford, Birmingham, Southwark, Portsmouth believe that evolution is fact. The Archbishop of Canterbury believes that evolution is a fact. Where HAVE YOU BEEN???
If you want to talk about "conundrums" in the scriptures, then simply explain the atrocities in Numbers 31, for me. Let's see you try (and fail) to show the morality, compassion or ethics inherent to all humans except psychopaths, in that chapter.
I'll wait :)
@@TheDarkMikado Well at least it puts his comment into perspective!
Believers are deaf to reason .
You covered a lot of subjects in your rant, so I can only address a few.
(1) RE Not showing respect. If you truly believed that something was evil then of course you would not show it respect. For example, if I thought a certain group was a criminal gang committing all sorts of terrible crimes then of course I wouldn't respect it. The error in your logic is lumping all religions and all religious people together.
(2) RE The power of the clergy. Your rant seems to be aimed at the catholic church. Not all religions have a powerful clergy, and some have no clergy. Those that have a clergy may not have an abusive clergy. Again, you are not being logical.
(3) RE Religion is evil. You go on and on about the (supposed) evils and negative traits of religion. The problem is that you list no evidence, and do exactly what you accuse others of doing.
(4) RE Religion has no purpose. Many atheists claim that religion "evolved" because of its survival value. They even admit that the human race might not exist today without religion. Simply knowing some of the reasons why people are religious does not make our species' need for religion disappear. Without indoctrination, children naturally believe in God. Our brains are wired for religion because of it helps our species survive. Richard Dawkins plans to commit suicide before he is too old and frail to accomplish the act. A religious person is more likely to survive. He may father one more child. It's not likely but it does happen. More often the older and wiser man is able to help younger people in the time of crisis. Old people are valuable to their culture. But the atheist isn't there to do that because he was too cowardly and selfish, and put a bullet through his own head.
Have a wonderful day.
Wow, Douglas, you sure do sound logical on your 4th point.
Religion is evil, have you not noticed all the things they have done and still do given a chance? It is basically like this: people that can make you believe in absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
Krister Andersson Ravioli is evil. Have you not noticed all the things that they have done and still do given a chance? Most rapists, most serial killers, and nearly everyone who returns library books late has, at one time in their lives, eaten ravioli! Canned ravioli is the worst! It's pure evil folks. Anyone who can make you eat pasta can make you commit atrocities.
doug c
Ravioli is hardly an absurdity, I it not good to eat true but that is about it.
Krister Andersson The error in your logic is confusing correlation with causation. This is also known as the Ravioli Fallacy.
Thank you Pat for taking the time to tell us your store. I can clearly see you have taking more time to talk about something you don't be leave in. I think that's Faith.
Corinthian 2:5 "That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."
Also you said peace and gave the hand gesture of peace. What meaning of peace were you using? "freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility." or "freedom from or the cessation of war or violence." What do you seek?
What about true Christianity it’s only man that made it into religion Jesus says He will know He’s disciples for the love for each other true Christianity is about having a relationship with the living God Love peace and righteousness with God But yes who needs religion especially a ideology
I'm a Catholic... yes, yes, forgive me plz! :)
However, I find your videos brilliant, logic, even this one. Truly.
And yet you are still a papist.
This is exactly how I think about religion... I love you!
Not sure you’ll ever see this but the first time I saw this video, over a decade ago, I was still Christian but was struggling with my beliefs. A friend shared this on Facebook and the first time I saw it I was actually pretty pissed. I don’t know why I was pissed, I guess because someone was telling me the truth about my flimsy beliefs. I ignored this video and its message for a while but I kept trying to think of rebuttals and could not think of any. This led me down a path that would ultimately lead to my freedom from religious mythology and the hold that the cult of Christ has on people. So honestly, thank you. There’s always some idiot who doesn’t appreciate such an intense approach and wants to tell you to calm down or to be more considerate but this video literally helped me get out of the cycle of mental abuse that you must go through to actually convince yourself of the bullshit that is Christianity.
Thank you, Pat. Hope you’re well.
@wolf trader As a sceptic i have some problems with your story. You claimed that you have been an atheist but you prayed to the Christian god? That makes no sense.
So in other words you believed that the Christian god is real, and after you believed that he is real, you believed that he is real. Great!
How do you know it was the Christian god that you felt and not one of the endless amount of other gods? which of the over 39.000 different Christian denominations?
So let me try to understand, this god is letting helpless little children die every 2 seconds by the billions, in horror and pain, but he invests his time and magic to help you?
Isn´t that an unreal arrogant and disgusting thing to believe?
And he uses his magic to play around with your free will and make you a better person, but he did not do that with people like Hitler?
Have you ever given any of all this a second thought?
What was it about Jesus Christ that so many people hate? Was it all the people healed and all the poor people he fed? Was it how peaceful he was?
do you run a pizza place called comet ping pong pizza in DC?
+jed black no, but did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But here's a question that have been trying to figure out for years. Maybe you know!
How many licks does it take till you get to the center of a Lil Kim? Hmm...
is the Part where you burn for eternity
How can you hate something you don't believe exists? The ones we can't stand are his crazy fangirls,like we get it,you think you're important to soneone kind of magic man's plan
Religion makes people stupid I totally enjoyed this video you obviously have a keen mind and a gift of word smith. I look forward to many more of your you tube video's so rock on my friend.
One of the most intelligent speech I've ever heard !!
Then get a free education from Pat, he has scores of GREAT vids on YT. (if they haven't lost their balls and removed them)
This is brilliant! My thoughts exactly!
