Pat Condell On Religion

First of all if a verbal assault on religion offends you please don’t watch the video. I wouldn’t deny anyone their right to believe in whatever they choose. Personally I agree with every word spoken in this gem from Pat Condell.
Bill…that was one of the best rants I’ve ever heard on the subject. I love this guy!

Hi Bill,
So many truths spoken and so many people feel the same way. It’s just a shame we can’t voice our opinions without being labelled a racist of some shape or form. If we got a group together to voice our concerns the powers that be would be the first to label us and chase US out of town.
We’re far to accommodating on this small island of ours. I see now that our “Christmas Greetings” banners now have to read “Seasons greetings” so as to not offend other religions: Those religions brought here by visitors to a christian country that has been a christian country for centuries and is well documented as such.
It’s a shame that so many of them don’t show the respect to others that they want us all to show them.
Arse about face this country mate.
Take care Bill,
Barry

Ditto with you Bill, I agree with every word Pat said. My only complaint is that he was a bit too kind for my liking. If you could post a full on anti-god rant, you may get some aggrieved religious people posting a comment. That may start an interesting debate. At the moment you are getting fellow atheists who agree with Pat. Keep up the good work though, I enjoy your varied posts.

And here I was waiting for the punchline “I am an atheist, thank God”, and it didn’t come!
I was down at my local this afternoon and they asked me if I would like to buy any tickets in the Xmas ham raffles. As you know, I’m as lucky as a standby passenger who got the last seat on the Titanic. So I said, “Sorry, I’m Jewish”. The poor fellow was so appologetic I didn’t have the heart to tell him I was joking.
Now it is coming out about the way orphans were treated by the Catholic church, especially those who where shipped from England to Australia during and after WW2. It seems that in the Catholic church, you cannot have a wife, but you can fuck all the little boys you want and expect to get away with it. And they are still trying to cover it up today.
As far as I’m concerned, religion has been the single biggest hinderance to man’s progress throughout the ages.
