“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Issac Asimov
"Unreason and anti-intellectualism abominate thought. Thinking implies disagreement; and disagreement implies nonconformity; and nonconformity implies heresy; and heresy implies disloyalty - so, obviously, thinking must be stopped. But shouting is not a substitute for thinking and reason is not the subversion but the salvation of freedom." - Adlai Stevenson

God had knocked it out because a year later, after seeing the crime scene photos, I notice her side window was damaged too. I thought the police had planted a fake photo, but she confirmed it: "Yeah, that's my truck because I only touched it & it fell off the tracks & inward". God did it to show me a bullet at a window & He knew I would associate the bullet at the window, ofter breaks a window. So that I would know, it shot the window out, so I would know these people were trying to kill me. 6. Can't fake a 911 Call, because that was my only other option as a response, after those females on the scene. 7. Can't fake 1 bullet damaging 2 windows on an SUV & making the side window fall inward & off of its tracks. 8. Can't fake it not being a bullet nor "bee-bees" inside of the SUV of the "shot out" window. 9. Can't fake the lack of evidence of the shooting I saw, on the crime scene. It would be illegal if I did move anything. Which I didn't. I knew who the shooter was anyway because he was the last person to see me walking that route. I just didn't want to tell the police until I confirmed it for myself. The next daylight, I went & told him about the shooting, to read his eyes. He did it & later The Holy Spirit confirmed it. 10. Can't fake having 2 females doing the dangerous job of delivering chicken at 1 ish in the morning because God knew "whom" to use as "tools" to get me to think before I acted. 11. can't fake being hit with bullets & not be bleeding or even have any holes in my shirt where I took the punches to my body, during that shooting. 12.. Can't fake a police report of that shooting. 13. Can't & won't fake a neighbor to call 911 & having a 911 call to report a shooting that happened in front of my home, but the confusion the cops face, when I finally got home & went in & back out the cops was outside.

It is the church that is to be protected from the state. You cannot take beliefs out of human affairs. If you are an atheist than you hold to your beliefs and bring them into the arena of public discourse including politics and if you are a theist you bring your beliefs into the arena of public discourse including politics. To try and suspend a persons values and moral convictions from any institution is the height of bigotry and hypocrisy. No human being can suspend their sincere and genuine beliefs. It is astonishing at how many people utter the most illogical and contrary things while thinking themselves to be sophisticated and morally superior.
Very true. It is also important to remember that this craziness started with Reagan and it has been a slow but steady push to make America a radicalized Christian nation. Like every other radicalized country or religion, the vast majority of its followers live in poverty while its leaders live in opulence. The Billionaire president. Overwhelming lines at the food bank. Rich soil for fascist roots.
Sorry, Albert. But we have complied proof positive over the last 4 years that just ANY fool CAN'T know. FOOLS resist knowing with every fiber of their being. Spend a day on-line and you'll see what I mean.
I used to be an Atheist until I went to college and studied philosophy. Atheism cannot explain the origin of morality, consciousness and the origin of the first life before evolution. "Sky Pixie"? That's how a high-school dropout would explain a potential creator of this universe.

Right. And if it is pointed out that people of certain religions do horrible things there’d be those quick to point out “it’s not the religion, it’s the people!” because of course religion has to be respected, no questions asked / no debate permitted. Well, yes, but if so many in that religion practice the same asshole-ish behaviour, you’ve got to start wondering why said religion do not preach that its followers behave better, think better, or just outright tell them not to be such twats. Also, people, quit waiting for someone to come save you. Take responsibility and save yourself. Usual disclaimers apply.
At this point, the religion has (or always has been) nothing but an excuse, a cover for selfish and amoral behavior that the “believer” cannot and will not correct on their own because they believe such behavior is justifiable. It’s worse when such behavior is encouraged as it has been for the last 20 or 30 years.

Oh, without a doubt. It's cloaked nationalistic authoritarianism. Most of those you see in the attacks are too young to remember what WWII was all about. It's ancient history to them. You have to understand that the public educations went down hill in the 70's due to the actions of the republican administrations in creating an economy that required both parents to go to work, leaving a lot of kids without the enforced discipline and understanding of the value and need of education. It was as if the Age of Neo-Enlightenment and Neo-Discovery of the 1950's and 60's was shot dead. Having lived through it all, the 70's and 80's was difficult. Religion began to replace knowledge, mostly due to the anxiety of the lost economy and it's effects which put a fair share of the population into a state of fear and looking for solace. (Sound familiar?????) Well, those children of the 70's grew older, but without the benefits of education those of us who came before them, had. They not only are without the skills of logic, they continue to be just as ANGRY as they were as children, if not more so. (Trust me, if you were old enough to have lived through it all, the traits are sooooooo obvious.) Well, you now see them in all their glory. Easily conned into mob participation; without the skills to consider all sides of issues; focused only on themselves; and now, quite dangerous. As we've seen in the last few weeks, there is little to no difference between their actions and beliefs and those of repeat felons. It's going to take a lot to straighten this all out. They have forced it to such a point that personally, I believe only some drastic penalties such as prison time for large numbers of them due to their own actions will be necessary. As for what to do about the militias is a real challenge. Maybe they will take the time to realize the world went through what they are forcing on us in the 1930's and 40's. The end result was tens of millions kills, nations destroyed, starving millions for decades afterwards; all because of some fascists taking advantage of poor economic conditions to turn the most vulnerable into their fodder. The end result, democracy won. These militias and other groups are telling the vulnerable they are defending democracy, when actually they are tearing it down. That's where the gullibility due to lacking education comes in, just as it did before, and it is doing now. History DOES repeat itself. Unfortunately, we are going toward the worst side of the options.
It's how fascists work. They prey on those who are fearful, who believe they are disenfranchised. They don't think; they are uneducated or under educated, and sheep.

As an outsider (Australian) looking in, I have gone from being entertained and bemused by American politics to being appalled. The whole system seems to be heading for a catastrophic collapse. Partisan politics, self interest above any common good or vision, and the pollution of money and influence of big business has corroded what little there was of democracy. The factional infighting if horrifying- when, for example, wearing a face mask during a pandemic is viewed as a political statement. Democrats are automatically baby eating communists, and republicans are capitalist monsters bent on subjugation of the masses - nothing in between, no common ground. If you don’t agree with me, you are my enemy. I am amazed to hear myself say it, but I’m beginning to entertain the possibility that America could have another civil war. It seems that Trump for one would actually welcome that, as would millions of his followers.
@@biffaozzie2373 Well, ... You've pretty well nailed it! It's moved from long-term thinking, "Well, we can work with this, give a little, get a little, we can live with it"; to, "Tora, Tora, Tora, we'll take EVERYTHING, NOW!" Newt Gingrich started it rolling, and others (the misfits swaying the illiterate, unknowing, ignorant), saw the opportunities and became the spreaders of the mantra of the ultra-right wing, destroying anything and anyone of the previous republican party; and you thought Covid was deadly. Add a little religion, some violence from militias and white nationalists (all without any penalties), stir for a few years with a pacifistic, apathetic democratic party, and this is what you get. With a little research, you can see just how similar this is to the 1930's, and those of us who are Baby Boomers and older, know how that turned out: www.pbs.org/show/rise-nazis/ , www.pbs.org/video/the-story-of-fascism-in-europe-pthanf/ , www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/adolf-hitler-1 , www.metacafe.com/watch/1437970/the_bloody_history_of_fascism_1_16_wwwfreebookcenternet/ .

@@commonsense955 I’d be interested in your view as to where it went awry. I remember John Kennedy’s speech on going to the moon not cos it was easy, but because it was hard. (I was 8 years old, and totally in awe). At that time it seemed that the US could do anything- we just need to all work together, shoot for the moon (literally) and we can work miracles. And they did. But somewhere along the way, the politics of envy and greed, the distrust and ignorance of science due to the collapse of the education system, and the pernicious influence of evangelical christians has turned it all to dust. I mean, any nation that seriously debates whether creationism should be taught in science classes has seriously lost its way. America barely qualifies as a first world country on many levels - homicide rates, teen pregnancy, life expectancy, incarceration rates, wealth inequality, etc etc. Why did the American people let such a great country turn into such a mess?
This is the one subject on which I still agree with Bill. Again, believe whatever fairy tale floats your boat....but when you start trying to legislate based on it, we have a big problem.
@@1101agaoj The problem is that there's this widely accepted notion (albeit unfounded) that morality comes from religion. For some reason, humanity has convinced itself of a default it has never put to the test. What a shame..pathetic level of stupidity.
According to your own words, then, and due to the recent legislating of fairy tales, you (and myself), now have arrived at a BIG problem; the Democrat legislation of Trans men calling themselves 'women' and Democrat Executive Orders granting both boys and men the power to compete in girls' and women's sports through the very legislation that is based on the fairy tale of repeating the magic phrase that a man is a woman, a man is a woman, a man is a woman, Their repeating of the words, over and over, their declarations, their beliefs, however ardent, do not make it so. And so the fairy tale wish, however impossible to realize, is, nonetheless, propped up, at least, by the mutilated bodies of young men who know they can never actually be women. I feel sorry for these boys and men, and have nothing against them. The only problem I have, much as you also have, is the legislating of a fairy-tale wish, then forcing the citizens of the United States of America to accept it. This, effectively, crushes girls' and women's competition in many sports. Peace to you, friend.
This is exactly what I have been saying. Religion has been protected and exhalted in America for so long that the line between truth and fiction is blurred and has spilled over from religion to other realms of our daily lives. Even some of the most liberal among us used to ask, what’s wrong with letting people believe what they want, as long as they aren’t harming others. Well the fact is is that they do harm others. Maybe there is nothing “wrong” with it but there are certainly consequences, and it is on full display.
Sometimes I wish this world that Bill envisions where there’s no religion becomes real. A world where the strongest and most savage thrives. This way we can get rid of 90% of leftists in a bloody sweep. That’s a world without religion. Crackhead bill can’t even understand that. Leftists have a problem with history or the past 24 hours because drugs.

Would you like to tally how many did men in a frock and carrying a bible wipe out both directly and indirectly? 400 year tally from south america to africa easily doubles if not triples the headcount achieved by any seminary educated communist dictator and a bible waving opportunistic gas lighting facist plus a trully narcisitic atheist cultist from the east all tallied and put together. The end of the whips crackled as it broke the sound barrier and tearing away the skin it landed on again and again as lines of gospel justified the righteousness of each lick of that barbarity landed on a human being. Read just yesterday news of catholic nuns sending out children to appease the appetite of some monsters hiding behind skins of man. This is 2021 and the depravity of organised religion is still a shit stain on humanity.
@@theallseeingeye9388 Not to mention the fact that all these supposedly "Communist" states were just dictatorships featuring cults of personality that merely replaced one infallible being "God" with Stalin or Mao or whatever. They literally used people's religious thinking to hold power. In North Korea today, North Koreans are taught that the rains fall because of Kim Jong-Un.. sounds a lot like religious thinking to me, and absolutely NOTHING to do with what Karl Marx articulated in the 19th century. But most of these "anti-Communist" types just throw out arguments like this without actually having read Marx. They just believe what their leaders tell them about Communism and Socialism, or.. for many.. more accurately what their TV Evangelists tell them. And if they want to get into death counts, besides all of your excellent examples, we also have the various famines in Ireland in 1840s, and the various Bengali famines over the years that were specifically engineered by capitalism (to name two of a great many). As millions starved to death, food was being exported elsewhere for profit.
@@nothxgg8324 I appreciate your comment because the one thing we do need is an empathetic moral compass. I believe many people use religion for that purpose. Unfortunately once it is organized into a rule bound follow what I say to get into heaven doctrine... well ... the leader tends to lead people into hell instead.
Edin Fifić Organised Religion has been ruling the world since Roman times, in truth the Vatican became the place where Caesar’s moved to become Popes. Wise teachers like Jesus Christ, whose name has been used to justify the killing of millions of people throughout our blood stained history of white domination tried to teach us the forgiveness, humility, compassion and acceptance. The Church used as an example the image of a sacrificial lamb on the cross, turned his mother into an example of chasteness which has sexually enslaved women ever since, turned Jesus’s wife Mary Magdalen into a whore (Roman Law permitted only the family members to be present at a crucifixion, which is why Jesus’s mother, his wife and his uncle Joseph of Aremathea, who provided his family burial place, but none of his disciples were there) and discarded all the books of the Bible ( mostly written by men and channeled, unless they had direct access to God) that referenced reincarnation, to stop us from realising that we are not subject to there dogma. This is all coming to an end now, the consciousness shift is in full swing, the darkness of people like the Ex-President is being revealed and the world is waking up.

I'd go even deeper: it's not even fundamentalist religion per se, but the people who espouse it. America has attracted its share of religious zealots from Europe since its foundations. These religious zealots not only haven't gone anywhere, but have been leaving a healthy number of descendants in each generation. Delusional thinking and cosmic-justice type theories is in their DNA. If it's not religion, it's QAnon; if it's not QAnon, it's something else. Because that's just what they do.
These people are not Christians. They worship white supremacy, not Christ. Christ is a black man & they might not like that fact. Stop playing with my God.

True. And here are some examples: Trumps labeled certain people as "Never Trumpers". He went on to Tweet that "Never Trumpers are human scum." I looked some of the specific people, I think he was referring to directly. They had impeccable credential, such as advanced college degrees, from Ivy League schools, distinguished military service. So I took from that, is for him and others, no matter what your accomplishments in life are, unless you like him, you are "human scum". That is positioning himself as God. He cannot say that directly, because would be blasphemy to most Christians. However, if he is supposedly, going to 'save the world' from some "New World Order", they are giving him god-like powers. The term "Fake news" implies that all criticism of him false, which again implies he is perfect. He does not even have to defend himself from accusations with facts. I could cites more, but I'll just stop here.
@gdi wolverine My understanding from the Bible, is that God created everyone. Also Jesus commanded us to "Love our neighbors". i am not garbage. I served you, and my country for two years active duty, after I was drafted. I am not garbage. I raised two children to adulthood. I served on my church's board of trustees for 19 years. I worked in my professional career, to preserve families, and children at risk of abuse, neglect, and dependency. I am not garbage. But i am not perfect either. But I do believe that I can defend my life, when I stand before God. I am not garbage. I do want to thank you for being honest, and expressing your true feelings. This does clarify what the real issues are. That, or the other thing could be you are an agent of chaos. I Corinthians 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace"
As a Christian, I am very offended by the idea that G'd sent Trump to represent Him in ANY way. Anyone who believes this drivel is seriously delusional ~~~

God had knocked it out because a year later, after seeing the crime scene photos, I notice her side window was damaged too. I thought the police had planted a fake photo, but she confirmed it: "Yeah, that's my truck because I only touched it & it fell off the tracks & inward". God did it to show me a bullet at a window & He knew I would associate the bullet at the window, ofter breaks a window. So that I would know, it shot the window out, so I would know these people were trying to kill me. 6. Can't fake a 911 Call, because that was my only other option as a response, after those females on the scene. 7. Can't fake 1 bullet damaging 2 windows on an SUV & making the side window fall inward & off of its tracks. 8. Can't fake it not being a bullet nor "bee-bees" inside of the SUV of the "shot out" window. 9. Can't fake the lack of evidence of the shooting I saw, on the crime scene. It would be illegal if I did move anything. Which I didn't. I knew who the shooter was anyway because he was the last person to see me walking that route. I just didn't want to tell the police until I confirmed it for myself. The next daylight, I went & told him about the shooting, to read his eyes. He did it & later The Holy Spirit confirmed it. 10. Can't fake having 2 females doing the dangerous job of delivering chicken at 1 ish in the morning because God knew "whom" to use as "tools" to get me to think before I acted. 11. can't fake being hit with bullets & not be bleeding or even have any holes in my shirt where I took the punches to my body, during that shooting. 12.. Can't fake a police report of that shooting. 13. Can't & won't fake a neighbor to call 911 & having a 911 call to report a shooting that happened in front of my home, but the confusion the cops face, when I finally got home & went in & back out the cops was outside.

1. Q anon is a military psy op 2. Most of what Q anon puts out is 100% TRUTH only to discredit it in YOUR mind. “Oh q anon said so, so it CAN’T be true.” No actually, it’s called the “90/10 rule” of which I came up with. An alex jones and q anon, or even a glenn b and a Tucker Carlson, will give you 90% truth... only to tarnish the truth they just said by delivering 10% lies on the back end. Do you know how many times Alex Jones has been “right” about something? Well the reason you don’t take him seriously is because he is an ACTOR who will speak truth then at the end hit us with “gay frogs.” And the worst part is; the gay frogs thing is basically true. Chemicals like atrazine literally destroy a frogs biology and turn them into the opposite sex somehow. So no, q anon’s “theories” only sound crazy because they’re largely true and are labeled “q anon theories” JUST so you discredit them.
Now, I say this to my enemies, but I don't see you as an enemy. I see u as lost. I believe God is going to use you to glorify Himself. You're the most famous of all skeptics. Try this. A bullet hole on the backbone. If a person had a bullet hole mark on their backbone, shouldn't they know it? Wrong. I didn't & who knows what's on their back. It wasn't like someone would see it and tell me. The Doctor? Nope, they told me in 1994, that 1 bullet was stuck under my shoulder blade & couldn't get it out unless they broke my shoulders. I had someone shooting me down like a dog for no reason & wanted to break my shoulder? I told them to leave it there because I was not hurt & I needed my shoulders to either shoot or beat the hell out of the shooter. As I was thinking to do it the next day. However, God knew & so long story short the police of my hometown made an agreement with me to not get any more trouble or they would add what they found in my coat, that I gave them the okay to keep my coat as they loaded me into the ambulance. I should have known better from the way he had his hands in my pockets when he asked. Good policing because it worked. I ended up leaving because my other plan fails to make them pull out a gun, so I could shoot them. That didn't work either, so I left. 20 years later & in another whole State, some company wanted to stop my vlog & so they hired a mafia-made man & others led to another Miracle. And I saw how He made the 1994 bullets vanish on June 16, 2017, & then more. But I use to tell people about that shooting: "The bullet missed my spine & parked under my shoulder blade" But it was, while in jail & I heard: "The Right Vertebrae Is The Miracle Of The Lord's" in my ear. I said: "all body parts are". When I could, I took a photo & guess what? There is a hole mark on my backbone. No, I never had a broken bone in my life. So Explain that? Or shall I say, DEBUNK THAT? Yeah, they try to kill me & weeks later I go to jail for being poor because I chose God's way for my life & not theirs & so this world would hate you because of Him. Can you explain why in 2 different States someone would shoot you & God protect you & they don't go to jail for it? Can you? The Lord doesn't like jails & He protected me & they are His children too. It seems to me that He doesn't like Jails. But I experience it so I can creatively create solutions to fix the issue; money. The money is why they all end up in jail. Money. I don't go places, I am alike a researcher & I researched to see why they came & I knew why I was there & most of them were there because they tried to get some or didn't have any. Putting me in jail may have been their worst mistake. I told the police of (1st of 3) Chief, while I was snitching on his cops who tried to detain me but I detain them, that I was going to take away his "customers" (inmates). When I travel out of town & visiting & the police pull over a black person in front of my auntie's home, I don't see it as a "Coincidence" & so I go & get involved in it. True Story/s. God wants me to see the works of the police & courts & banking & medical & all of the stuff Dr. King & Malcolm X was killed for. Do you see where I am going with this? We are all His Children & Christ is our Savior & The Holy Spirit is the reason I knew who tried to kill me & why & how he got involved & remember "accidentally" walking upon the last meeting with the killer & the company that sent them. Yet, I forgave them. Why? They can't harm me & vengeance belongs to God, not me. Plus, I feel sorry for the black shooters though. I can see it on their faces of the fear of God. They know they messed up. Even so, they are still His Children. So are you Bill Marr.
As a Christian myself, I have no choice but to respect your views. That's what God told me to do and he told me to be a decent human being. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to be a decent human being and I will respect your views. That's it.

This...this is the HEART of the issue. It’s always been about Christian nationalism. All the creationism, the anti abortion movement, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the MAGA movement...all of it has Christian nationalism right at the core of it. There are many books and podcasts giving specific details on this; glad to see someone in mainstream media with the balls to call it what it is. Until the media and society at large is able to identify the problem and say it out loud we’ll never deal with it.
(French guy, just passing by) it's the weird thing about your country, it's supposed the land of reason, where 18th century's enlightment ideas first rose to power, but the dechristianization that took Western Europe by storm in the 19th century (Spain and Italy being way behind) didn't happen in the USA...
As regards tRump and Qanon and the GOP and everything that has happened so far; Even "Q" would have had to say, "Um................................................... too far."
I love this video, but honestly, I won’t share it because I am tired of having to debate real life friends on social media every time I share a “controversial” perspective on organized religion. I’m not an atheist like Bill Maher. I believe in G-d, but not in organized religion. I also believe that the Bible and other religious stories should not be taken literally. And I agree with Bill that we can’t criticize one form of mass delusion without examining the other. IMHO, faith, spirituality and the religion that you choose to express your spirituality, should not be woven in with literal interpretations of Biblical events.
I’m a belieber in the Greek pantheon of gods. In fact, I truly think I’m one of Zeus’s illegitimate children. I got big muscles and a huge penis…for a white man, and have the superpower of not holding down a job and getting thru life just fine. Prove me wrong!!!

“Arguing with a Trumper is like playing chess with a pigeon. They knock over the pieces, shit on the board, then strut around like they won.” -Anomonish (but I'm looking into the joke's oranges)
So why do people continue to do so? Why do we continue to give them any attention whatsoever? Remove them from your life - family or friends - isolate them, expose them, they must always know - just like the racists - that their ideas are abhorrent and unacceptable. To give them an audience is to essentially give them the impression that they have a point, or ideas worth listening to. They don't.
There is a great documentary called “5 steps to Tyranny” 1 “us” and “them” (prejudice) 2. obey 3. do “them” harm 4. “stand up” or “stand by” (standing by as harm occurs) 5. “exterminate” the other Making fun of them is the one thing we can all do to delegitimise any attempt to install a tyrannical leader like old “Orange Face”.
@Gina Giant It's more a case that people rarely get into high office or position without needing to profess their belief in god, I still believe that the majority of judges uphold the law over their religious tendancies but I can't think of an American president or supreme court justice that isn't religous or at least claims it.
So the state shall establish no religion translate to only atheist can be judges? We can see you haven't read the Ferderalist papers or the constitution and it's amendments, but instead formed your opinions from what CNN told you. BTW there is no "separation of church and state" in any founding documents. It was the Supreme court that gave us that BS.
@@staciepaul If you want to go down the road of technicalities, it's true that the first amendment doesn't literally say we have a separation of church and state, it's just been consistently interpreted that way by the courts. In satisfyingly related news, the second amendment doesn't actually say people have the right to OWN firearms, only to carry them if you're a member of an organized state militia. So if you're arguing for a more literal interpretation of the amendments, you're also calling for a ban on all privately owned guns. I'm sure that'll make you popular with the conservative crowd.

It is the church that is to be protected from the state. You cannot take beliefs out of human affairs. If you are an atheist than you hold to your beliefs and bring them into the arena of public discourse including politics and if you are a theist you bring your beliefs into the arena of public discourse including politics. To try and suspend a persons values and moral convictions from any institution is the height of bigotry and hypocrisy. No human being can suspend their sincere and genuine beliefs. It is astonishing at how many people utter the most illogical and contrary things while thinking themselves to be sophisticated and morally superior.
Very true. It is also important to remember that this craziness started with Reagan and it has been a slow but steady push to make America a radicalized Christian nation. Like every other radicalized country or religion, the vast majority of its followers live in poverty while its leaders live in opulence. The Billionaire president.

Right. And if it is pointed out that people of certain religions do horrible things there’d be those quick to point out “it’s not the religion, it’s the people!” because of course religion has to be respected, no questions asked / no debate permitted. Well, yes, but if so many in that religion practice the same asshole-ish behaviour, you’ve got to start wondering why said religion do not preach that its followers behave better, think better, or just outright tell them not to be such twats.
Also, people, quit waiting for someone to come save you. Take responsibility and save yourself. Usual disclaimers apply.
You are right! It is exactly what is happening here.
At this point, the religion has (or always has been) nothing but an excuse, a cover for selfish and amoral behavior that the “believer” cannot and will not correct on their own because they believe such behavior is justifiable.

Oh, without a doubt. It's cloaked nationalistic authoritarianism. Most of those you see in the attacks are too young to remember what WWII was all about. It's ancient history to them. You have to understand that the public educations went down hill in the 70's due to the actions of the republican administrations in creating an economy that required both parents to go to work, leaving a lot of kids without the enforced discipline and understanding of the value and need of education. It was as if the Age of Neo-Enlightenment and Neo-Discovery of the 1950's and 60's was shot dead. Having lived through it all, the 70's and 80's was difficult. Religion began to replace knowledge, mostly due to the anxiety of the lost economy and it's effects which put a fair share of the population into a state of fear and looking for solace. (Sound familiar?????) Well, those children of the 70's grew older, but without the benefits of education those of us who came before them, had. They not only are without the skills of logic, they continue to be just as ANGRY as they were as children, if not more so. (Trust me, if you were old enough to have lived through it all, the traits are sooooooo obvious.) Well, you now see them in all their glory. Easily conned into mob participation; without the skills to consider all sides of issues; focused only on themselves; and now, quite dangerous. As we've seen in the last few weeks, there is little to no difference between their actions and beliefs and those of repeat felons.
It's going to take a lot to straighten this all out. They have forced it to such a point that personally, I believe only some drastic penalties such as prison time for large numbers of them due to their own actions will be necessary. As for what to do about the militias is a real challenge. Maybe they will take the time to realize the world went through what they are forcing on us in the 1930's and 40's. The end result was tens of millions kills, nations destroyed, starving millions for decades afterwards; all because of some fascists taking advantage of poor economic conditions to turn the most vulnerable into their fodder. The end result, democracy won. These militias and other groups are telling the vulnerable they are defending democracy, when actually they are tearing it down. That's where the gullibility due to lacking education comes in, just as it did before, and it is doing now. History DOES repeat itself. Unfortunately, we are going toward the worst side of the options.
It's how fascists work. They prey on those who are fearful, who believe they are disenfranchised. They don't think; they are uneducated or under educated, and sheep.

As an outsider (Australian) looking in, I have gone from being entertained and bemused by American politics to being appalled. The whole system seems to be heading for a catastrophic collapse. Partisan politics, self interest above any common good or vision, and the pollution of money and influence of big business has corroded what little there was of democracy. The factional infighting if horrifying- when, for example, wearing a face mask during a pandemic is viewed as a political statement. Democrats are automatically baby eating communists, and republicans are capitalist monsters bent on subjugation of the masses - nothing in between, no common ground. If you don’t agree with me, you are my enemy. I am amazed to hear myself say it, but I’m beginning to entertain the possibility that America could have another civil war. It seems that Trump for one would actually welcome that, as would millions of his followers.
@@biffaozzie2373 Well, ... You've pretty well nailed it!
It's moved from long-term thinking, "Well, we can work with this, give a little, get a little, we can live with it"; to, "Tora, Tora, Tora, we'll take EVERYTHING, NOW!" Newt Gingrich started it rolling, and others (the misfits swaying the illiterate, unknowing, ignorant), saw the opportunities and became the spreaders of the mantra of the ultra-right wing, destroying anything and anyone of the previous republican party; and you thought Covid was deadly. Add a little religion, some violence from militias and white nationalists (all without any penalties), stir for a few years with a pacifistic, apathetic democratic party, and this is what you get.
With a little research, you can see just how similar this is to the 1930's, and those of us who are Baby Boomers and older, know how that turned out: www.pbs.org/show/rise-nazis/ , www.pbs.org/video/the-story-of-fascism-in-europe-pthanf/ , www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/adolf-hitler-1 , www.metacafe.com/watch/1437970/the_bloody_history_of_fascism_1_16_wwwfreebookcenternet/ .

@@commonsense955 I’d be interested in your view as to where it went awry. I remember John Kennedy’s speech on going to the moon not cos it was easy, but because it was hard. (I was 8 years old, and totally in awe). At that time it seemed that the US could do anything- we just need to all work together, shoot for the moon (literally) and we can work miracles. And they did. But somewhere along the way, the politics of envy and greed, the distrust and ignorance of science due to the collapse of the education system, and the pernicious influence of evangelical christians has turned it all to dust. I mean, any nation that seriously debates whether creationism should be taught in science classes has seriously lost its way. America barely qualifies as a first world country on many levels - homicide rates, teen pregnancy, life expectancy, incarceration rates, wealth inequality, etc etc. Why did the American people let such a great country turn into such a mess?

Really, the one topic? I’m honestly just curious what one earth you believe about all the other topics
According to your own words, then, and due to the recent legislating of fairy tales, you (and myself), now have arrived at a BIG problem; the Democrat legislation of Trans men calling themselves 'women' and Democrat Executive Orders granting both boys and men the power to compete in girls' and women's sports through the very legislation that is based on the fairy tale of repeating the magic phrase that a man is a woman, a man is a woman, a man is a woman, Their repeating of the words, over and over, their declarations, their beliefs, however ardent, do not make it so. And so the fairy tale wish, however impossible to realize, is, nonetheless, propped up, at least, by the mutilated bodies of young men who know they can never actually be women.
I feel sorry for these boys and men, and have nothing against them. The only problem I have, much as you also have, is the legislating of a fairy-tale wish, then forcing the citizens of the United States of America to accept it. This, effectively, crushes girls' and women's competition in many sports.

There were 4 ppl in the room when I was watching this. Bill says Fuck your feelings and the video ends to silence. All 4 of us looked up at once. One of them subbed 😂
How could it have been so difficult for me to realize "fuck your feelings" was the answer.
The guy wearing that wearing that shirt thinks that that is an acceptable message, but not if directed toward him.
Uhm, aren't we the party of political correctness? Aren't we the ones who came up with the term "Microagression"? Isn't it us who wants to censor free speech so we don't offend "vulnerable" groups? Isn't is us who supports Hate Speech laws? Isn't it us who put feelings over facts when dealing with issues like illegal immigration and refugees? How can the party of Political Correctness now stand up and say "Fuck your feelings!"? So we are just supposed to become a bunch of Milo's now? Nah. pretty sure it is us that are the party of "feelings", not them.
It's really ironic to see how things turned out.
A lot of people on the left were called "snowflakes", and told that the facts didn't care about their feelings back in 2016.
Now in 2021, it's those former "snowflakes" calling these people out for refusing to accept an election, or that not every idea needs respect if it's crazy.
So I guess "snowflakes" only applies when it doesn't effect them.

Reasoning objectively is something that's lacking in America. Many just believe whatever nonsense they hear without pausing for a while to think. Unmatched stupidity and ignorance are celebrated instead.
Yeah Jude i totally agree with you, As a puertorrican that's been in the Army for 7 years i observed that.

@@joseayala2940 "observation" A good trait. Majority of Americans don't observe or feel empathy, they listen to media propaganda outlets who sets them against each other while behind the scenes crooked politicians enjoy the spoils.
Not just in America but all around the world. Reasoning involves thinking, using one's brain, which most people don't want to do as it requires effort and humans are by their nature lazy.
@@judechima4047 do you live here and actually experience this? Because most people are pretty rational when you actually talk to them. You gotta group shame somebody every now and then but that's not the norm and even after an intense dialogue I always see these peeps as harmless and well-meaning, just really stupidly confused and manipulated. Most of them seem to get the majority of their news from Facebook. I think alot of these people are just ready to jump on whatever hype train gets them out of their daily boring lives and allow themselves to get caught up in nonsense for the fun. Of course, it might be difficult to get one of them to admit it. Just like cigarettes smokers- barely any of them will admit that they're just trying to get high
Better show up and vote for every election because these evangelicals absolutely will.

@@theallseeingeye9388 Not to mention the fact that all these supposedly "Communist" states were just dictatorships featuring cults of personality that merely replaced one infallible being "God" with Stalin or Mao or whatever. They literally used people's religious thinking to hold power. In North Korea today, North Koreans are taught that the rains fall because of Kim Jong-Un.. sounds a lot like religious thinking to me, and absolutely NOTHING to do with what Karl Marx articulated in the 19th century.
But most of these "anti-Communist" types just throw out arguments like this without actually having read Marx. They just believe what their leaders tell them about Communism and Socialism, or.. for many.. more accurately what their TV Evangelists tell them.
And if they want to get into death counts, besides all of your excellent examples, we also have the various famines in Ireland in 1840s, and the various Bengali famines over the years that were specifically engineered by capitalism (to name two of a great many). As millions starved to death, food was being exported elsewhere for profit.
@@nothxgg8324 I appreciate your comment because the one thing we do need is an empathetic moral compass. I believe many people use religion for that purpose.

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”

And just because one person said so, it sounds wise and it is to your liking, then it must be true.
Edin Fifić Organised Religion has been ruling the world since Roman times, in truth the Vatican became the place where Caesar’s moved to become Popes. Wise teachers like Jesus Christ, whose name has been used to justify the killing of millions of people throughout our blood stained history of white domination tried to teach us the forgiveness, humility, compassion and acceptance. The Church used as an example the image of a sacrificial lamb on the cross, turned his mother into an example of chasteness which has sexually enslaved women ever since, turned Jesus’s wife Mary Magdalen into a whore (Roman Law permitted only the family members to be present at a crucifixion, which is why Jesus’s mother, his wife and his uncle Joseph of Aremathea, who provided his family burial place, but none of his disciples were there) and discarded all the books of the Bible ( mostly written by men and channeled, unless they had direct access to God) that referenced reincarnation, to stop us from realising that we are not subject to there dogma. This is all coming to an end now, the consciousness shift is in full swing, the darkness of people like the Ex-President is being revealed and the world is waking up.

As an outsider looking in, been saying this for the past 5 years: it's not politics, it's religion. Thanks, Bill.
I'd go even deeper: it's not even fundamentalist religion per se, but the people who espouse it. America has attracted its share of religious zealots from Europe since its foundations. These religious zealots not only haven't gone anywhere, but have been leaving a healthy number of descendants in each generation. Delusional thinking and cosmic-justice type theories is in their DNA. If it's not religion, it's QAnon; if it's not QAnon, it's something else. Because that's just what they do.
Amem to that!!!
These people are not Christians. They worship white supremacy, not Christ. Christ is a black man & they might not like that fact. Stop playing with my God. I have seen His powers to the point, I don't fear even your government. So want to debate?

True. And here are some examples: Trumps labeled certain people as "Never Trumpers". He went on to Tweet that "Never Trumpers are human scum." I looked some of the specific people, I think he was referring to directly. They had impeccable credential, such as advanced college degrees, from Ivy League schools, distinguished military service. So I took from that, is for him and others, no matter what your accomplishments in life are, unless you like him, you are "human scum". That is positioning himself as God.
He cannot say that directly, because would be blasphemy to most Christians. However, if he is supposedly, going to 'save the world' from some "New World Order", they are giving him god-like powers. The term "Fake news" implies that all criticism of him false, which again implies he is perfect. He does not even have to defend himself from accusations with facts. I could cites more, but I'll just stop here.
@gdi wolverine My understanding from the Bible, is that God created everyone. Also Jesus commanded us to "Love our neighbors". i am not garbage. I served you, and my country for two years active duty, after I was drafted. I am not garbage. I raised two children to adulthood. I served on my church's board of trustees for 19 years. I worked in my professional career, to preserve families, and children at risk of abuse, neglect, and dependency. I am not garbage. But i am not perfect either. But I do believe that I can defend my life, when I stand before God. I am not garbage.

1.Can't fake a bullet hole on the right vertebrae without it being some kind of record of it me being injured for a long period of time to heal from that fatal wound.
2. Can't fake so many people seeing the coat I wore that night in 1994 in Elaine Arkansas. Can't make them look at me like I was
going to fall dead at any minute when they saw the multiple bullet holes in the back of that coat.
3. Can't fake a court case of the shooting neither.
4. Can't fake another shooting 20 years later in another state.
5. Can't fake knocking an SUV's back window out without something knocking it out. At least I thought the last bullet had shot it out.
God had knocked it out because a year later, after seeing the crime scene photos, I notice her side window was damaged too.
I thought the police had planted a fake photo, but she confirmed it: "Yeah, that's my truck because I only touched it & it fell off the tracks & inward".
God did it to show me a bullet at a window & He knew I would associate the bullet at the window, ofter breaks a window.
So that I would know, it shot the window out, so I would know these people were trying to kill me.
6. Can't fake a 911 Call, because that was my only other option as a response, after those females on the scene.
7. Can't fake 1 bullet damaging 2 windows on an SUV & making the side window fall inward & off of its tracks.
8. Can't fake it not being a bullet nor "bee-bees" inside of the SUV of the "shot out" window.
9. Can't fake the lack of evidence of the shooting I saw, on the crime scene. It would be illegal if I did move anything. Which I didn't.
I knew who the shooter was anyway because he was the last person to see me walking that route.
I just didn't want to tell the police until I confirmed it for myself. The next daylight, I went & told him about the shooting, to read his eyes.
He did it & later The Holy Spirit confirmed it.
10. Can't fake having 2 females doing the dangerous job of delivering chicken at 1 ish in the morning because God knew "whom" to use as "tools" to get me to think before I acted.
11. can't fake being hit with bullets & not be bleeding or even have any holes in my shirt where I took the punches to my body, during that shooting.
12.. Can't fake a police report of that shooting.
13. Can't & won't fake a neighbor to call 911 & having a 911 call to report a shooting that happened in front of my home, but the confusion the cops face, when I finally got home & went in & back out the cops was outside. No holes or shells.
14. I can't fake this stuff, so if you refuse knowledge, then that is on you.
15. Can't fake creating some awesome projects that I believe are going to be unbelievable & no man can do stuff like this, it is & will be all GOD's works & it is important that I & we remember that too.
16. You can't fake when we all die, that our bodies go back into the soil, not water. As your "evolution" theory suggested.
17. You can't disprove God exists but I can prove He is.

You can't say that & so it is weird to you & that is not my fault. Blame nobody but yourself for not using faith & need a sign of a miracle in order for you to believe.
Before I had proof of God, I knew He was real because I use to hold conversations with Him, as a child. Didn't matter if He heard it or not, I spoke as if I was speaking to Him.
Now? My faith is that He would continue protecting me from people like you.

1. Q anon is a military psy op
2. Most of what Q anon puts out is 100% TRUTH only to discredit it in YOUR mind.
“Oh q anon said so, so it CAN’T be true.”
No actually, it’s called the “90/10 rule” of which I came up with.
An alex jones and q anon, or even a glenn b and a Tucker Carlson, will give you 90% truth... only to tarnish the truth they just said by delivering 10% lies on the back end.
Do you know how many times Alex Jones has been “right” about something? Well the reason you don’t take him seriously is because he is an ACTOR who will speak truth then at the end hit us with “gay frogs.” And the worst part is; the gay frogs thing is basically true. Chemicals like atrazine literally destroy a frogs biology and turn them into the opposite sex somehow.

You are brave to be so honest about religion - it’s so powerful that most people don’t say that they agree with you - thank you for leading the way
Now, I say this to my enemies, but I don't see you as an enemy. I see u as lost. I believe God is going to use you to glorify Himself. You're the most famous of all skeptics. Try this. A bullet hole on the backbone.
If a person had a bullet hole mark on their backbone, shouldn't they know it? Wrong. I didn't & who knows what's on their back.
It wasn't like someone would see it and tell me. The Doctor? Nope, they told me in 1994, that 1 bullet was stuck under my shoulder blade & couldn't get it out unless they broke my shoulders.
I had someone shooting me down like a dog for no reason & wanted to break my shoulder? I told them to leave it there because I was not hurt & I needed my shoulders to either shoot or beat the hell out of the shooter.
As I was thinking to do it the next day.
However, God knew & so long story short the police of my hometown made an agreement with me to not get any more trouble or they would add what they found in my coat, that I gave them the okay to keep my coat as they loaded me into the ambulance. I should have known better from the way he had his hands in my pockets when he asked.
Good policing because it worked.
I ended up leaving because my other plan fails to make them pull out a gun, so I could shoot them. That didn't work either, so I left.
20 years later & in another whole State, some company wanted to stop my vlog & so they hired a mafia-made man & others led to another Miracle. And I saw how He made the 1994 bullets vanish on June 16, 2017, & then more.
But I use to tell people about that shooting: "The bullet missed my spine & parked under my shoulder blade" But it was, while in jail & I heard: "The Right Vertebrae Is The Miracle Of The Lord's" in my ear. I said: "all body parts are". When I could, I took a photo & guess what? There is a hole mark on my backbone. No, I never had a broken bone in my life. So Explain that? Or shall I say, DEBUNK THAT?
Yeah, they try to kill me & weeks later I go to jail for being poor because I chose God's way for my life & not theirs & so this world would hate you because of Him. Can you explain why in 2 different States someone would shoot you & God protect you & they don't go to jail for it? Can you? The Lord doesn't like jails & He protected me & they are His children too.
It seems to me that He doesn't like Jails. But I experience it so I can creatively create solutions to fix the issue; money. The money is why they all end up in jail.
Money. I don't go places, I am alike a researcher & I researched to see why they came & I knew why I was there & most of them were there because they tried to get some or didn't have any.
Putting me in jail may have been their worst mistake. I told the police of (1st of 3) Chief, while I was snitching on his cops who tried to detain me but I detain them, that I was going to take away his "customers" (inmates). When I travel out of town & visiting & the police pull over a black person in front of my auntie's home, I don't see it as a "Coincidence" & so I go & get involved in it. True Story/s.
God wants me to see the works of the police & courts & banking & medical & all of the stuff Dr. King & Malcolm X was killed for. Do you see where I am going with this? We are all His Children & Christ is our Savior & The Holy Spirit is the reason I knew who tried to kill me & why & how he got involved & remember "accidentally" walking upon the last meeting with the killer & the company that sent them.
Yet, I forgave them. Why? They can't harm me & vengeance belongs to God, not me. Plus, I feel sorry for the black shooters though. I can see it on their faces of the fear of God. They know they messed up. Even so, they are still His Children.

4. “stand up” or “stand by” (standing by as harm occurs)
5. “exterminate” the other
Making fun of them is the one thing we can all do to delegitimise any attempt to install a tyrannical leader like old “Orange Face”.
Nice try but that exact quote was used months ago describing democrats. At least give someone else credit, not yourself.
“We have a separation of church and state”
Appoints an all-conservative christian supreme court.
Seven out of nine of them are Catholic
@Gina Giant It's more a case that people rarely get into high office or position without needing to profess their belief in god, I still believe that the majority of judges uphold the law over their religious tendancies but I can't think of an American president or supreme court justice that isn't religous or at least claims it.
So the state shall establish no religion translate to only atheist can be judges? We can see you haven't read the Ferderalist papers or the constitution and it's amendments, but instead formed your opinions from what CNN told you. BTW there is no "separation of church and state" in any founding documents. It was the Supreme court that gave us that BS.
@@staciepaul If you want to go down the road of technicalities, it's true that the first amendment doesn't literally say we have a separation of church and state, it's just been consistently interpreted that way by the courts. In satisfyingly related news, the second amendment doesn't actually say people have the right to OWN firearms, only to carry them if you're a member of an organized state militia. So if you're arguing for a more literal interpretation of the amendments, you're also calling for a ban on all privately owned guns. I'm sure that'll make you popular with the conservative crowd.
Wow. The Jesus signs never made it to the news. This is the first I've seen of them. Just sayin'.
totally. thought the exact same thing
@beta. The Christian Nationalist aspects of Jan 6 have been extensively covered by NYTimes, The Atlantic Monthly, NPR, and the like.
@@swanstep I missed it. Thanks for the word.
I was watching it live on PBS, they rolled out the Jesus flag , the cross, and banners everywhere! These people really believed that God was on their side! It’s really sad
@@susanhewitt1631 I was watching live, too. On cnn.com. Free! I guessed I just missed it, tuned it out, thought "yeah, yeah, yeah," or simply don't remember it.
I agree with Bill increasingly less often lately, but this was spot on.
He's been more dead on much more now than ever.
So respectfully I direct you to your own Tshirt "F@ck your feelings" hahaha...love this guy!
"When the people clamor to be shielded from reality, when they praise their government for keeping things from them, when they choose to conduct their lives within the limits of whatever fantasy the government supplies, then they are no longer consenting to be governed, they are begging to be ruled." -- Michael Ventura
You've missed the point: That does not hold for all types of governments.
Yes, the Christian-trump crowd cannot be talked to or reasoned with, sadly even our own families.
If indeed I may say so, it is my belief that anyone who claims to be a Christian, and yet, they support and follow Donald John Trump, they are really supporting the Beast from Revelation. Sad, but true.
How sad it is to see families torn apart by politics and religion. How can a belief in a magical sky god be more important to you than your own blood?
Funny--I feel the same way about the Russia Collusion crowd, the 9/11,truther crowd, the birther crowd, the Squad members who say Jews have dual loyalty and they have hypnotized the world, and the crowd that says that just because a boy says he is a girl that he should be allowed to compete against girls in sports
It's difficult to reason with atheists who think men can become women, and society has to change words around in order to fit that belief. Atheists are the ones that can't be reasoned with rationally. Atheists are anti-science.
@@rs72098 I don’t think that it’s necessarily atheists-- it’s simply left wingers
Love it
When I see those giant flags and banners these people are always waving around, along with the hats and other paraphernalia, I think; Well at least they are taking Bill Engvall's advice about "stupid people wearing a sign, so we don't have to waste time talking to them."
Change the logos and don't they look like Isis?
@@welshgit They totally do.
You talking about BLM, Antifa or Trump supporters? lol
@@RONRIFFLE.DEIcertified 🙄
These people are not Christians. They worship white supremacy, not Christ. Christ is a black man & they might not like that fact. Stop playing with my God. I have seen His powers to the point, I don't fear even your government. So want to debate? I bet after that Debate, you would be questioning life because I have proof of God's Miracles on my body & shirt & crime scene photos.
So funny, it's true. Nailed it! Thank you bill for delivering us your honest comedy. however tragic and alarming this revelation was it delivers the truth.
Reading through the comments, I am so impressed. I have a group of intelligent, thoughtful, respectful, discerning persons who truly have a healthy grasp on reality to connect with.
I am empowered by you and will keep up the good fight. 🙏 Thank You
Of, you engaged yourself in confirmation bias. But yeah, the way you explain it makes it go down the pie hole easier.
@@stevenwolbrueck6488 is that a compliment?? An invitation to join the group of non-idiots?? Are you making fun of me???? I AM excited to find a platform where I can join, relate, laugh at the insanity and read a vocabulary like is way beyond a 5th Grade education. Please indulge me. A whole year of COVID-19 and Trump has felt the “Twilight Zone” and being stuck on loop watching “Ground Hog Day”. ....
Facts.
1:53 that "pop" sound effect just made me have to pause the video and laugh!
I just heard the theme to "Pop up video"
