Kudos to that young woman for speaking her mind in the face of such ignorance.
For speaking her mind against Christianity. I mean if she is an atheist whatever, but she tried speaking from a religious viewpoint which she obviously understands nothing about.
She wanted to be on camera. How brave
@@arbendit4348 She appears to be far more in touch with Jesus' message of peace & forgiveness than the old testament spouting bigots with the signs.
She'd never do that to Muslims
@@LeMaqnifique I'm not defending these clowns
This is disgusting. Thank you to these people who actually go up and stand against these ridiculous riots. If I lived in an area where people weren't so caring for each other I'd be right with her.
Are you calling these guys idiots or all Christians idiots?
Because I'm a Christian and I'm disagree with what I just watched
+TheCrazykids777 I am calling this riot disgusting and that lady who stood up brave. I'm Christian as well but that doesn't mean I agree with discrimination against those apart of the LGBTQ+ community.
+TheCrazykids777 I* not I'm lol
@@TheCrazykids777 No you are not a Christian.
Just because you say you are doesn't make you so.
Do you believe in all the teachings from both the Old and New testament?
Which include, Gays being stoned to death or people not believing in God and Jesus Christ being beheaded?
You can't pick and choose in which teachings of your God you believe in and then still claim to believe in that God. Christianity is not about love and family. You are not a Christian. Only extremists are true believers.
Louis Theroux thanks for interviewing all those radicals, your work it's an amazing sociological picture of our times.
Strong anti-smoking demo ?
God loves e-cigarettes what Fuc* are they on

+LeksServices HA, no it will get you sought by the law for "terrorists threats". He is not harming anyone, let him run his mouth & continue to make himself look stupid. 😆
+whiteribbonman1 I dunno, when they turn up at other faith funerals and wave their signs and yell, it's not exactly compassionate.
+Liofa I completely agree with your viewpoint. If I were at someone's funeral & they arrived, I would TRY to talk Bible with them to show them actual scripture & explain what they are doing wrong. If that failed, on to Plan B. I am a Believer in Jesus, with a bad attitude.
whiteribbonman1 if you're religious than you know best of all that there's no reasoning someone out of their faith. they bought their tickets already, it's no good
+Amanda Lee Dube 😀 I am not religious, I am a Believer in Jesus as my Savior. I also am a believer in showing scripture to & explaining it as the person reads it with me. I have had Discipleship by some very intelligent, compassionate, brother-in-Christ men. I would not try to reason them OUT of their faith, they need help to see people as Jesus did. Someone among them is misleading them.
They are the personification of the sin of pride.
They should never impose their beliefs on others....
But it's their freedom of religion to infringe on other peoples' freedom of religion
+Amanda Lee Dube You are not quite correct. You are probably also using sarcasm? 😆 Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech & the Right to Assemble are all different things.
Except they’re not “imposing” their beliefs on anyone. They are holding up offensive signs and being obnoxious. There’s nothing imposing about non-violent means of expression, even if they are distasteful.
@@David4.14 I wonder if you would feel this way if it was your wife or child's funeral they were picketing..
@@HingleMcCringleberryPSU of course I would be infuriated, as most functional humans would be. However when you remove emotion from any situation you gain logical insight. As I said they are obnoxious and ignorant, however they still have a right to make their argument.
These people actually believe every single word, don't they? They have my sympathy, but what they have most is my pity. It must be a very sad, angry life.
This is why I'm a Scientologist!
He doesn't seem that angry to me. The woman on the other hand...
The elevator definitely doesn't reach the top floor.
+LeksServices What is an lmam?
Picketing disgusts me. Like how can you do that? Also, the fact they cherry-pick from the Bible and say it is the 'word of God' enrages me - I bet that man's shirt is made of cotton when the Bible says you shouldn't wear cotton, and I'm sure God never asked for anyone to go to hell because they disagree with the views of Westboro Baptist Church?
Where does it say in the bible to not wear cotton?
On behalf of my God, I would like to apologize for this sort of behavior. My God hates nobody! He loves everyone! He may not like some of the things you do because it's sin, and since separates you from him. But I promise you he loves you no matter what! I have served and followed God for 10 years now. If He can manage to love the hateful girl I used to be before I knew Him, He can surely love anyone! If you have experienced this type of hatred, I apologize from the bottom of my heart! It is unacceptable! And to all of the Christians: if I ever catch this behavior from you, I will be saying something! We are called to be a light of love for God's kingdom! Have a great day, and know God loves you!
What an incredibly cringey post... god isn't even real??? talking about how your imaginary friend loves everyone lol
@@clockywork OY OY OY OY, go easy on Rebecca. Just Because you're a proud Atheist doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it. NOT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE BIGOTS.
Deep 👊
Then why did he orders people to kill people? Why did he kill millions?
Louis "Do you like it better when she gets upset" & "Are you happy?" - He is just brilliant
Are you happy was THE question. If you notice, he quickly switched back to how much he wanted this life to end and be with "the Lord".
Who does the WBC thing they’re influencing? What minds do they think they’re changing? Absolutely idiotic..
“I hope to dwell with the lord for all of the days of eternity.” *meanwhile dwells on the street with giant bigotry hate sign*
God loves everyone he weeps over hatred and bigotry.
I always loved how funny that family is
The 2000s were so kino, I miss these days.
He really hates Shellfish too apparently.
AND mixed fabrics
What a sad hateful life they have.
If only they knew its them going to hell! It must be horrible being like them.
From your comments it's obvious you've never read the Bible. It's ideas are eternal, and they don't change to accommodate contemporary morality. The man here was completely in his right to do what he did. The woman actually got upset because people have different opinions from her and she couldn't handle that.
@@arbendit4348 fuck you, your book and your god
@@arbendit4348
So slavery is ok?
Killing children is ok?
It would be morraly justifiable for America to attack conquer and destroy all nations that arnt Christian according to the Bible.
@@Mountainlion118 You obviously haven't read the bible. Since when is slavery and killing children considered a virtue in the bible? Infact one of the 10 commandments states "thou shall not kill" so where you get your twisted logic is beyond me.
@@arbendit4348
Bible says you may keep slaves and even gives rules for when killing children is ok.
People kill under gods command in the bible all the time.
Especially raiding other towns and people who are of different religious beliefs or practices.
So your saying the rest of Bible means nothing.
Only things that matter in the relgion is the 10 commandments.
somebody should start blasting Gay Bar whenever they see these people
True Christians!
It's about getting attention. The more outraged the attacked people, the more satisfying for this group of lunatics. If you REALLY want to see them go away, laugh and ignore.
GOD Loves Everybody Except All Those Who Commit The Most EVIL ACTS!!!
Well, *I will give BBC and Louis credit for letting the man speak plainly about THE WHAT & WHY of his beliefs and moral stand.*
I'm not religious but I know it says something in the Bible about man laying with another man or something like that, but I don't really think God wanted people to spread his message that way.
I'm just appalled at how many organizations twist religion to fit their own agenda even if it's spreading hate.
His t-shirt is mildly upsetting.
Literally the most offensive thing in the video.
Whats wrong with t shirt
I'm a street preacher but this approach is completely wrong.
Christ didn't send us with the message of hate and condemnation but with the message of Love and acceptance.
Telling someone they'll go to hell because of their sin is definitely putting the last nail on the coffin.
There's hope for everyone who can call on the name of Jesus
God hates affliction T-shirts
Why
People will be happy to say “freedom of speech” until other people say things they don’t agree with.
it's so sad that they believe "god hates".
The ideology is kinda believable tho.
that's an abomination. ruining a lady gaga song like that
the should check:
2 Samuel 1:26 (david loves jonathan more than women)
1 Samuel 20:41 (david and jonathan kiss and cry)
1 Samuel 18:3-4 (jonathan undress in front of [for] david)
and
1 Samuel 18:3 (saul kept David with him and did not allow him to leave)
so yeah sure "they can read..."
None of these chapters refer to any remotely gay references. You're misrepresenting scripture in order to fulfil a biased agenda by quoting them the way you are attempting to. I don't know where you've got them from, probably some website. But look up the scriptures and read them in CONTEXT.
@@elastronaute1198 "misrepresenting scripture in order to fulfil a biased agenda" fuck me it's like finding year old poetry hahahaha
@@elastronaute1198 You say you don't know where he got them-do you know their context? It doesn't sound like it. Yet you speak like you know, and give no specific reasons why the commenter is wrong.
Understand that God loves all, and does not hate.
I want them to read the Bible in Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek. What they're quoting are just translations of translated mistranslations!!
God doesn't hate anyone.
how self righteous these people are is insane
bleah.. are you from medieval age?
Love you!💖🖤💖 Louis Theroux keep up the good work.. 100% true words xxx
I find it hilarious people believe in a book that was written by people who didn’t know the earth was round
The arrogance of these and all other people that believe that only their interpretation of the Bible is correct, is mind-blowing. All religious texts can be interpreted any way someone wants them to be. If you want to find hate and judgement, you'll find it. If you want to find love and acceptance, you'll find that also. These horrible hate-filled people are just sad. I don't understand why anyone would want to believe that their God is mean, spiteful, and hateful. Is that really a fulfilling existence? If they are in such a hurry to be in their Heaven then why don't they off themselves? I'm sure they could find a piece of scripture to twist around to say that would be ok. Such a waste to have no love, understanding, and empathy in their lives. Not even for their own families. Oh well it's their choice. I just wish they would keep their pathetically negative lives to themselves and not pollute the rest of the world with their hate. Peace.
I'm not Christian myself, but I prefer the united Canadian church's perspective, where they interpret that, the bible isn't the word of god, but the words of people who were inspired by god, and as such, a lot of aspects of the bible are irrelevant, because it was written for a time and culture that's no longer relevant. Makes things a lot less zealot-y.
Both of these comments explain exactly how I have always felt about these situations. Many people have explained how they're following the word of The Lord when God didn't physically write one word of the Bible. And as you said, people look at and follow what they want. Leviticus 19:27-28 talks about how you should not cut your hair, trim your beard, or mark your body (tattoo), but who follows those words? If anybody tells me that since I'm Christian that I should follow every word in the Bible, I'm going to ask them if they've ever gotten a hair cut and assuming they say yes ask them why they broke their following of the "word if The Lord". So why do people ignore Leviticus saying that God spoke about not allowing hair cuts but focus greatly on LGBTQ+ discrimination? And why would God put anybody on the earth if they're meant for destruction of His beautiful creation? If everybody is equal in God's eyes, why are those apart of the LGBTQ+ community discriminated against?
Harley Koverman
To be redundant, in the united Canadian church, again, they don't discriminate against LGBT, either in terms of being a follower, part of the ministry itself, marriage, or whatever, due to some quote from the bible having to do with Jesus inviting everyone from prostitutes to tax collectors to eat with him, they basically take from that, that perception of morality aside, discrimination isn't very Christian-like.
... Except it is, depending on which parts of the bible you feel like reading. People tend to forget, but, the bible is not a book, it's a series of books written by numerous different people, with several individual writings added in, removed, and altered based off of the events happening to Christians at the time. There's a lot of stuff that's de-canonized entirely because Christians at the time didn't like it, or certain churches didn't feel it matched their depiction of what the bible should be.
Apparently Steve got kicked out of the church
HE LOOKS JUST LIKE DIRECTOR PC
High on his own farts

Honestly, I look at people that say I need to burn in hell and just laugh. Honestly, it humors me to know people are so stupid.

flag in the background is being waved upside down
Are they singing ‘telephone’ at the end? Sounds like the same tune? A Lady Gaga song… a huge gay icon’s song😅🏳️🌈
did anyone notice the kid behind him with the flag didn't america say never put the flag upside down im just thinking
This specific church hates america, if I'm not mistaken. They also hold celebrations when dead soldiers are returned to american soil, waving signs saying "Thank God for dead soldiers"
Also mentions how you should worship the lord in thr privacy of your own home. It says this because the lord didnt want pissing contests on who loves him more
This man is a true believer. Not Louis
And then the WBC anthem in the end. 😂
Talk about moral compasses. It’s truly unacceptable. Hate is alive and well. Try Love! Don’t we have enough hate in our world?
Fundamentalists help lead away from religion people. He doesn’t realize he is what an extremist Muslim preacher would be. So gross to watch.
Based.
I totally agree with him. It's the word of God that she's rebelling against and it's sad to see. I hope she finds God.
Well it seems they're driving people away from religion instead of bringing them into it kind of contradicting their religion's goal
The God I know doesn't hate ! But WE will be judged come judgement day, & it's different every day for everybody. God is all loving, & turns away from hate. COULD TODAY BE YOUR'S ?
Think about it !
Don't think Elvis would want this guy with him
why does this guys sound like john c reilly
Good on that man for telling the truth even when the ignorant will attack him endlessly. That takes a lot of courage.
And pride. Which is a sin.
@@michaelhuber6476 he isn't doing it because he is selfish, if he was he wouldnt care if people go to hell.
@@arbendit4348 you can’t care about something that was made up to insight fear into people to control them.
@@michaelhuber6476 I agree. That is why he does care.
@@arbendit4348 I’m talking about god and Christianity. It’s just a tool that was used to control people over the centuries
I would rather go to the devil then be next to you
by saying that stuff like that is NOT showing GOD loves people. And I know God does not mean be that way to people man. its just messed up. I know God does not like people representing Him that way. Suppose to do things out of kindness and love. So they have clearly read the Bible wrong.
God loves everyone but apparently that doesn't include gay people 💀
not of this world huh? well maybe someday somebody will help you find the world you belong on. it'd be gods will right?
crazy how they're all anti-queer but are singing a lady gaga sing who is known as a queer icon
Icons are meaningless. Music is objective.
That’s why I give all religion a wide berth, it’s all open to interpretation.
were they doing lady gaga at the end there
I thought that! Sounded like Telephone😂
This man is correct!!!!👍🏽!! Read you're bible folk's!!!
Yessir
He doesn't speak god's views. That's the part these people don't get
Divide to conquer.
As some one from the UK, it baffles me that your Government lets this kind of shit stand
As someone who is also from the UK you have got to be kidding, do you look out of your window or watch the news? Racist blm and antifa protesters assaulting people and vandalising property all over the country.
@Truck Spank what absolute nonsense. I love in central London, you're talking crap.

These people are the closest thing to a real Christian you can get
They are the closest thing to real idiots.
I mean look at this bloke.
He spends is whole life hating and being hated.
And for what? To go to heaven?
That's not even gonna happen.
He is just gonna rot in the ground like the everyone else.
He should make the most of his life, because that's all we get.
The bloke is a complete failure.
I like how these guys basically think god is the devil because they think god has nothing but hate in his heart
It's all good fun,
That guy is 100% a trump supporter
Lowkey making a lot of sense, not being upset at the person, upset with the word (the message). they are trying to make it about the message, Louis is trying to make it about the person and he can't seem to understand the concept (the message). It's two radically opposed modes of being, and the one Louis represent is the rather solipsistic one, on that one extreme someone might believe that a tree doesn't make any sound if it falls and he's not there to hear it, it's rather self-centered and misses the fact that the world doesn't revolves around yourself and some things are the way they are without any of your conscious input. Human sexuality for example, it just exists, nobody decided that it's only with the opposite sex that sex can result in sexual reproduction, it's just a fact of nature, centered around nature and not around any personal whims, not seeing that can be interpreted as hating nature itself and all this hate can make you blind.

these guys were the original SJW trolls lmao
This is what the christian god would actually approve of. Thank "god" i'm an atheist.

Can we all just agree that there is no proof of God and that the bible makes little to no sense
