How To Convert Atheists: With Cletus VanDamme

[jamesdragonforce]

It really should be ask the clitoris.

[triggetrigge]

athan-thiest :D

[MidnightCaerlos]

I think good ol' Cletus should speak up a bit :)

[pchtermino1]

I've been told, they say, a friend of mine, read it on the internet, somebody, and my all time favoirite "its a fact". The great Christopher Hitchens had a death bed conversion. In his final hours he asked for a priest and the priest left an atheist.

[logicaust]

I want that polo shirt, srsly.

On a different note, this video, the premise...sooooooo good. The whole "XX ministries" thing, with the bed sheet backdrop (with wrinkles), I lol'd so hard.

Peace.

[GMBCATASTROPHE]

I'm having trouble, in that I am an atheist, and I find, as a general rule, Christians at the undergraduate level to be pretty stupid, but Christians over 40 to be pretty much the most reasonable sub-class around (when they aren't talking religion).

This is a big problem. Because the young atheists tend to have a non-stop record of unreason and stupidity. I contend that post-Aquinas Christianity is the most reasonable large sub-culture that has ever been.

[FishofMuu]

An athentheist?

[RuinSonic]

It would be a lot more appealing if some ex-atheist Christian said they were a well read atheist who simply used to think Christianity was nonsense and there was no emotional experience. It was simply that he realized that all his counterarguments against Christianity failed and his objections for the Bible have been answered. That wouldn't change my mind, but that would be a whole lot more interesting.

[RuinSonic]

@RuinSonic It seems like most of these ex-atheists like to brag how bad they were. I was a staunch atheist who didn't want God. I didn't want to see any argument favor God. I was a drinker, smoker, and I was a cocky son of a bitch. Come on. That may have some sway to the irrational jerk atheist, but to every other atheist that is the opposite of emotionally convincing.

[TheWitnessOfCacti]

Cletus we be done did love you.

[BrentWilliams710]

Hey Cletus how you sposed to found the lord whn you dunt know where the lord is hidin at?

[Monadshavenowindows]

Turn on 'transcribe audio'. At 1:24 "how what better way could not reach the balls."

[MrJurekGG]

Grrrrrreat !!!

We wanna more 'n more !

:-)))))



[niriop]

Hey boy, what you got dem fancy glasses on dat dere face fer? You ain't gonna being doin' any a that faggoty-ass readin' are ya boy?

Seriously though, never noticed the Nietzsche tatt before, but now I've seen it I want it!

[vNorilor]

A couple of years ago I would have wondered why "new atheists" (That's me) were rarely able to find theists who were willing to politely engage them. It really isn't a mystery: "New Atheists", particularly online, tend to be mocking and condescending. Peter creating a redneck, know-nothing theist character to make fun of people he disagrees with is a case in point. It isn't about being able to "take a joke" - atheists are sensitive to how they are portrayed by others, but fail to reciprocate.

[Killedkennyagain]

@vNorilor Stop trying to create groups within a label that is used to denote a lack of belief in something. Theists do this with the "Atheism is a religion!" B.S. "New Atheist" come on, you cannot classify an (Old?) Atheist other than they lack belief in a god and/or gods. There is no unifying ideology derivable from that definition. Atheists come from all backgrounds and beliefs.

[vNorilor]

@Killedkennyagain lol - "New Atheist" refers loosely to the tendencies in style, attitude, and argumentation associated with the crop of recent popular books on the subject (Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris), and their readers. It is not meant as a pejorative.

[guitarmaestro078]

Nice to see Cletus again. You should try to make him a regular on your channel lol

[SirToneyBagels]

video flagged for hate speech!

[Mackaframmalamma]

Get your light up higher.

[TheNakedAtheist]

Cletus is definitely in the closet.

[TheAtheistAntidote]

Pretty funny actually.

Now if you had any real courage you'd make a spoof / mockery video of Islam.

I won't my breath.

[Censeo]

Cleatus, what is your view on Theistic evolution and Christians who believe in global warming and other sciency beliefs?

[westwood500]

Fucking brilliant.

Lol.

[dumbnetworks]

cleatus maximus

[SmashtheCmachine]

Ahhhh... sweet relief!

It's parodies of creationists that keep me sane as I deal with countless bible thumpers!

Hallelujah!

[MoMember88]

Hey Cleatus do you think any other apologists have similar tatoos ? Im fairly certain William Lane Craige has the Prophet Mohumad on him i. Arabic nothing converts muslims then saying you used to be one

[ChiefRepublic]

Athentheists

[TWITfromURANUS]

Are you related to Chris Crocker?

[Gameboygenius]

Why do you pronounce "heathen atheist" as "athentheist"?

[ChiefRepublic]

@Gameboygenius It's not heathen atheist. Just a redneck mispronunciation of atheist

[Gameboygenius]

@ChiefRepublic That's the joke...

[SupermarketsRevil]

Also, IRON YOUR BEDSHEETS! ..not that I iron my own, but for some reason your crinkly bedsheets really rustles my jimmies >8-(

[SupermarketsRevil]

lol wut? didn't one of my other subscriptions have a character named cletus?

[cguevara12]

Are you related to Jean Claude Van Damme?

[Fangtorn]

Cletus, why is there so little mention in the Bible of Jesus's early years as a child and adolescent? And why do so many teenagers become afemtheists?

[wayman29]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Skindoggiedog]

This isn't good.

[RadarKat73080]

Should you be "Cletus VanDarn?"

[SisyphusRedeemed]

Was Kirk Cameron at that same seminar?

[Boepyne]

Hey this is good! Love the accent. Keep them coming;-)

[coldpizzarules]

[MutantBamHammer]

Question!: Southern Baptist...or other?

[JunkCCCP]

AFEMTHEISTS

[blackstonewielder19]

[Digideus]

Cleatus... Fucking Magnets... How do they work?

[Arkalius80]

Freakin star wars old republic trailer keeps playing over you video with no way to skip and it keeps stopping to load every 5 seconds, so I guess I can't watch the video.

[iReturnV1deotapes]

Athemtheist

[CuriousMoth]

This isn't very good.

[Theatheosis]

@tooltime9901 Hey Cletus, didn't your alter ego give that hat away to the first person that donated a required sum of money?

[tooltime9901]

@Theatheosis That was a fake. never trust PBS.

[TheZamario]

That was funny dude.

[Tobiiie]

Yey, Cletus is back! :D

[GluteusIlluminatus]

LOL. I actually did used to be an atheist. But when I was, I dealt with the likes of Shockofgod enough to never go down that road.

[BusinessIDBAI]

@GluteusIlluminatus

Anyone actually converted by ShockofGod is actually a victim of a lobotomy.

[gaglamesh731]

@BusinessIDBAI

They'd need to own a brain for that.

[saxmanchiro]

I is goin to pray fer a new hat fer ya, Cletus. I will go on my Facebook page and ask all my frands to do it two. You wait and see, Cletus. Gawd will git you a new hat.

[featherofthephoenix]

No, I will not go see Episode I on 3D, mister advertisment!

[tooltime9901]

@featherofthephoenix dude, even with the riftrack Episode 1 is boring and annoying.

[featherofthephoenix]

@tooltime9901 So much so that it made me mispell advertisement '-_-

[VampirePraemium]

@tooltime9901 I too share your admiration for F. Nietzsche, you said you have a tattoo of him, what does it say?

[BassKilla47]

Lul

Afentheest.

[viridismonasteriense]

Dear Cletus, if Abraham had told god to go fuck himself after being told to kill his son Isaac, would it have been okay for god to smite him that instant and send him to hell?

[DerrenBrown100]

Gawd will punish the evil athiest heathens. Bless you Cletus.

Gawd is good.

[GigaBoost]

Hm, no.

[1337rofflecopters]

People like Kirk Cameron say they used to be an atheist, but there's no recording or footage of them saying "God and Jesus are a bunch of bullshit." It's a not-falsifiable claim and they think we're all idiots.

[TekLok]

@1337rofflecopters Yeah I bet its just some advertising scheme or something.

[Uhmu45]

How did you convert into Cletus?

[Paxmax]

Ohgoshgawd It's a hardy chore to remains an authumtheist in tha face of all'em good reasonings'es.

[idkthisisthirdtry]

anthentheist, i am an anthentheist...
