...abrahamic triangle of insanity...


I love that line describing the 3 monotheisms.

Also:

...buddhism - a religion with no gods, like a prison with no walls...


I've seen this guy on youtube before. I like his fluid style and delivery.

Pat Condell is awesome. I have been watching his videos since the first one. I love his approach. He uses humor to really hit hard and twist the blade.

He is the best of the "YouTube Atheists". Much better than CapnoAwesome.

 avatar"This is our way of seeing how God created the universe and they want to make as strong a statement as possible that truth doesn't contradict truth; that if you have faith, then you're never going to be afraid of what science is going to come up with.
"Because it's true."

..pure delusion

This was brilliant. I almost spat out my lunch as I was watching this clip. I think this is funnier than the "why won't god heal amputees?" clips.

Pat Condell is brilliant and funny. He's like an older, and more cynical Christopher Hitchens. He makes regular posts to liveleak.com.

 avatarHe's a terribly nice chap, he has an agreeable way with him. That said, I'd parse a few points with the fellow. Mind you, nothing to get worked up about, nothing to get in the way of politeness and civility; and, perhaps, more importantly, the sociable and very civilised imbibing of a decent Shiraz, from the fairest Cape!

 avatarI'm subscribed to his youtube account, and never miss a clip. There was one that I found somewhat over the top, but generally he is spot on. Full spectrum mockery, no holds barred. Just the way it should be. This is exactly what Muslims need to hear more of, so they get used to it.

 avatarI like Condell a lot. I have a few minor quibbles with what he says but they're nothing compared to how much I support and agree with his general approach. Kinda like the RRS: they don't always take the same line of attack I would, but I'm canny enough to realise that's probably a good thing. Condell, like the RRS, will reach people my tactics might miss. And vice versa. I like the fact that we atheists are coming at the enemy from all sorts of different angles.

 avatarOh, and I'd add that I particularly appreciate Condell's willingness to go after Islam. That's something I do share with him. We're often accused of only "picking on" Christianity because it's safe. Not Condell. He goes right for the arse-waving Mohammedan morons too. I think that's necessary. When people try to intimidate you into silence, shout louder.

Pat's videos are just awesome!

My favorite is his:

"Why Does Faith Deserve Respect?"

 avatarPat Condell is a national treasure. He deserves a spot on TV (or Radio 4), maybe The Daily Show could offer him one. For those who haven't watched it the Daily Show is broadcast in the UK at 8.30 weekdays on More4
