Jerry Falwell Was An Ass Hat - The Atheist Experience #501

[freedom1234573]

fred phelps has done more to advance the cause of gay rights then he would ever care to know...

[freedom1234573]

if jerry falwell is in heaven then He is an absolute ass and would not want to spend anytime near a God like that....jerry falwell was a complete and total ass....

[TheSkunkCat]

Pff, I'd literally dance on Falwell's grave. The only tragedy about his death is that it didn't happen BEFORE he created the religious right voting machine. The amount of damage that's done both directly and indirectly makes Falwell one of recent histories most destructive figures. Not to mention that he was an agent of intolerance as well.

Fuck not only Falwell, fuck his followers too.

[WeTheStrange]

"As a good Christian..." Self-righteous jerk more like. How can he possibly defend a revolting bigot like Falwell?

[smithcas86]

I went to dance on Jerry Falwell's grave, but the line was to long.

[keter1234]

I really wish the intro song was left OFF your vids they are VERY annoying and go on for way too long. They have no useful purpose and I always to skip over them.

[PSNnightmare]

he wasted his life on religion, and i just feel sorry for the aca crew that they have to do the same. and they are. 

[DemoraX]

@PSNnightmare the ACA are doing their part for the world,

helping cure delusion one person at a time :D

[ATLMastering]

This is extreme hypocrisy. Atheists celebrated and trashed Jerry Falwell when he died. Christians did NOT do this when Christopher Hitchens died. Atheists are some of the biggest religious hypocrites on the face of the planet...

btw...I'm neither a Christian nor an Atheist.

[apestaartje321]

@ATLMastering "Christians did NOT do this when Christopher Hitchens died" HA! Just look a few comments below, or all across youtube for that matter. I also find it striking that you think its somehow equivalent- all Hitchens ever did was question people's beliefs, as opposed to being a hate-preaching scumbag. The fact that Christians feel the need to gloat just reflects that deep down they don't even believe their nonsense and are just frustrated they didn't get the best of him during his life.

[EinsteinxtremeRoblox]

@ATLMastering Matt was claiming that HE HIMSELF didn't celebrate because of Falwell's death. He wasn't speaking for all atheists! And by the way, a hypocrite is someone who contradicts his/her own word, so in order for atheists to be hypocrites, you first must mean ALL atheists, and second of all, atheism would have to be a doctrine, or you'd have to have met every single atheist in order to judge the opinions of atheists in general.

[EinsteinxtremeRoblox]

@ATLMastering Also, since you're neither an atheist nor a Christian, what are you? One of the wishy-washy, boneless, mediocrities who call themselves "agnostics"? Pathetic.

[werebee]

Jerry Falwell brokered a deal with the Klingons and is now exploring the galaxy on board the Starship Enterprise. It's Church canon.

[Brenda2OOO]

Matt danced in his cubicle. I like that image.

[DannyForest07]

"If you gave Jerry Falwell an enema you could bury him in a matchbox" - Christopher Hitchens

[papermermaid]

@DannyForest07

lmfao

[l0rdoflol]

@DannyForest07 I LOL'ed so hard when i found out what enema was :P

[bary1234]

These superstitious morons just do what ever bad things they want, and then forgive themselves. And this culture of idiotic nonsensical "forgiving" does not just make individual christians unbearabe assholes, it ruins whole countries.

This religious idiotic culture of forgiving "sins" is what caused the bankrupsy of Ireland, Italy and Creece. And that is just the start, the tip of the iceberg. We will see much more shit floating to the surcafe, like the pedophile priests and money-scams.

[HyperSchmizzle]

I've never been able to get a hat to stay on my ass.

[bary1234]

@HyperSchmizzle : Youre doing it wrong. You are supposed to wear an ass as a hat on your head.

[jfwade13]

Matt Dillahunty, you inspire me.

"Jerry Falwell is burning in hell as we speak" -Michael Collins Piper

[gspendlove]

Bring me to Falwell's grave (I won't waste money myself on the trip) and not only will I dance on it -- when I'm done, I'll squat and lay a big, meaty chud right on his tombstone.

[MaxamillianArturo]

@gspendlove I got to Hitchens' grave first.

[deathman1021]

Wow, it is rare to see Matt get mad like this, totally deserved mind you, i wonder about his take on that Harold Camping nutjob

[dejesusluisx]

@Thelondonbadger If you want to continue with your ways is your choice. But there's an alternative. God is real. You will not hear a voice from the ski or see a light, this message is all you'll get. Reason can get you close but only faith get you in. Don't loose your soul trying to win silly arguments, isn't worth it.

[Thelondonbadger]

@dejesusluisx Pardon, you can lose your soul? Isnt your entire existence your soul.Meaning you can Never Ever lose it.Only have it tortured? Are you trying to say You can speak for an all powerful being inside your head?If god created everything from nothing...What did he create the universe from?Parts of himself so that means we all have a small bit of god in us making us our own creators so only person who can judge us is ourselves... scarey isnt it there being no consequences :)

[dejesusluisx]

@Thelondonbadger Twisting everything to your convenience isn't going to help you either. You can lose the salvation of your soul. If you are in God's wavelength, if you live in God's grace, you can communicate with God too and would know the truth first had, and all your doubts will be clarified.

[dejesusluisx]

After all the dust settles, we have only two choices. Either the universe brought itself into existence, or something outside the universe, an external cause brought it into existence. The problem is how something could brought itself into existence? Isn't possible, therefore the cause must be external. The only thing present was energy. The God of the Bible is described with the same attributes of energy before energy was described. The existence of God is the best explanation. Open your eyes

[WarSmurfs]

@dejesusluisx But then the bible is still wrong and bullshit made by man.

[dejesusluisx]

@WarSmurfs Not all, the Bible isn't the dictated word of God, is the inspired word from God, written by men over many centuries. God inspiration pass through man's biases that filters it, and it has to be interpreted based on for whom, where, why and how that inspiration was given. Is a collection of many books, not just one book. Each book in a collection is interpreted individually. There's archeological factual evidence for many of the old testament stories watch this: watch?v=NWawVUZg3Es

[Thelondonbadger]

@dejesusluisx Inspired meaning coming to a persons mind randomly yes? Aka a thought .Meaning the bible is full of storys and thoughts by men.So unless your saying gods putting these thoughts into thier heads then its mens musings while high( moses and the burning bush of weed)meaning all random thoughts are gods inspiration which would mean all books and sci fi is gods will so go punch a klingon while i get a bj off a wookie as master chief from halo breakdances.

[mirta000]

@dejesusluisx not really quantum fluctuation shows how universes can start other universes in different points of time. Since energy is never lots it's actually possible for the universe to be eternal and re-start itself in the future or the past.

Physics. It's quite interesting really :)

[dejesusluisx]

@mirta000 ""Physics. It's quite interesting really"" very, unfortunately is something you obviously don't understand. "quantum fluctuation shows how universes can start other universes" there are several conditions for that, I'll just mention two; first the quantum vacuum have laws that may allow particles to pop into existence and therefore is a "universe" in itself that needs to be explained, second, particles, not universes, pop into existence. No other universes have been proved to exist.

[mirta000]

@dejesusluisx well several experiments are being done to prove the existence of other universes.

You say that there's no reason to believe in something if there's no proof. Well there's no proof of God.

Because the logical question after yours would be who caused God to exist? Since nothing can just come into existence there must be an external source. Is there a God of a God of a God?

[tendollarword]

Very well said.

[romans52345]

Thumbs Up if you think if Matt put a Flamming Tattoo on his head he would look just like Bam Bam Bigalow

[mistacramer]

The lardaceous ghost of Jerry Falwell disliked this video.

[LOGIC42369]

ASS HAT IS AN AWESOME WORD!!!

[macgeek2004]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? Fred Phelps protested Jerry Falwell's funeral?! ROFLOLOLOLOL!!!!

[scourge108]

I wanted to hear about the deal he brokered with the Klingons.

[ChipArgyle]

Geez Matt, why don't you tell us how you really feel about Falwell? *snort*

I agree with Russell that Fred Phelps is the standard for craziest Christian. Luckily, since he is so crazy, he's less of a threat to society in general than a widely aired televangelist is.

[pythor2]

205 likes and 0 dislikes to a video that says a Reverend was an Ass Hat. This is awesome. Make that 206 likes.

[casablanca4381]

how did he die?

[casablanca4381]

i'm sorry if this sounds stupid but could someone please fill me in on who jerry falwell was?

[thelordmemnoch]

@casablanca4381 You would have to Youtube him and wiki him. He was a religious nutjob who blamed people who had nothing to do with it, on 9/11 among other things.

[Setzer]

"If Jerry Falwell had an enema before he died, he could be buried in a matchbox" - Christopher Hitchens

[wl0883]

This world is better off with Falwell dead. Now, if that god damn fuck, Pat Robertson, would join him.

[MaxamillianArturo]

@wl0883 The world is also better with the death of that "Cock Gobbler" Hitchens.

[cometrally]

1:49 "JerryFaldwellinheaven." All one word.

[psycotria]

Falwell was a toad.

I hope he realized he was wrong before he ceased to be.

[SuperImready]

You forgot "The Clinton Chronicles", a series of videotapes where Falwell accused President Clinton of being a murderer and drug dealer, arguably a moral low even for Falwell. He was a loathsome creature, and I share Matt's "good riddance" sentiment.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

I think both Christians and Atheists should all shut the fuck up. There are self-righteous assholes on both sides. You included.

[tranceman22]

WELL SAID MATT , but it's ok to say " ass hole" as it's a hole to put a 4 legged beast of burden into. This is a common mistake made by Americans . The word you are looking for is " ARSE" as in " ARSE HOLE"

[nosajj12345]

Dammit....I thought Falwel was brokering that deal with the Romulans!!!

[Nerd0042]

Matt may not have danced while singing ''Ding, dong the witch is dead.'' But I sure did.

[Guitcad1]

Re: Russell "I'm not sure I can think of a person alive today who is more nuts than Fred Phelps."

Here's a candidate. There's a guy from Atlanta who goes by "Dr." Gene Ray. Look up "Time Cube." His idea is that in every rotation of the earth, there are four simultaneous 24 hr days taking place. He's actually an atheist and he says that Time Cube disproves the existence of God. Also, the idea that -1 x -1 = +1 is "stupid and evil." I guess theists don't have a monopoly on whack-jobs.

[VideoGuyNC]

The real tragedy of Fallwell's passing is that through the modern magic of technology, television, and the net - his hateful rath can still reach more and more people. Do us all a service, and thumbs down every Fallwell video you happen to find to minimize it's impact. Please don't intentionally search them out, but if you happen to be unfortunate enough to find one, thumbs down.

[RadarKat73080]

I doubt Falwell believed the crap he peddled.

[lynchmobb2000]

@RadarKat73080

I was about to post the exact same thing but you beat me to it.

Cheers

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

@RadarKat73080 Jerry was probably just killing time yes, Phelps realised this, and competed with him over who is the best one in wasting time. ;D

Phelps won of course, he is a master when it comes to spewing out shit, a real time killing master.

[RadarKat73080]

@Imhornydadcomeinside Fred Phelps is just mean and he's just trying to legitimize his bullying of people. I suggest that many of the leaders of Xianity do not believe what they preach. I believe Pope Leo X called Jesus a "profitable fable" or words to that effect. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard that WBC picketed Falwell's funeral! If they'd see any mainstream Xian leader as an ally, it'd be him!

[yeshuahfullofit]

My feelings on Jerry Falwell were summed up nicely by James Carville when he said of Falwell, " I wouldn't piss in his mouth if his throat was on fire. ". Visuals. XD

[CommanderC4]

Jerry Falwell makes me think kindly upon Nero.

[Shavarnarak]

The only sad thing about Jerry Falwell's death is that it didn't happen a few decades earlier, before his unholy alliance with Reagan that basically founded the religious right.

If only he had died many years earlier!

But as for Fred Phelps, Now when THAT fuck dies, I think they should get a huge mob of people to LITERALLY dance on his grave, and sing happy songs about his demise.

[VideoGuyNC]

@Shavarnarak When Fred Phelps dies - I think the government should declare it "less hate day", and memorialize it by poring elephant piss on Phelps rotting place.

[YetAnotherAtheistVid]

I knew it! Jerry Falwell was in league with the Klingon Empire! LOVE LIVE EMPEROR FALWELL! Qapla'!

[GermanChocolateCake]

The dead are not sacred, they are dead.

[patrickledford420]

i laugh and smoke a blunt when people like falwell die and love it when people tell me im "cruel" or some other bullshit because they had the label "reverend"

[Hopeful71]

The question to Christians; how do you distinguish between Fred Phellps and Jerry Falwell? How is one right & one wrong; or how are both wrong and you are right? How do you find any objective way of "throwing out the bad" and "keeping the good" within the bible that is 100% subjectively interpreted?

[gramosjr7]

Where will you go to when you die? Have you ever told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain, or looked at someone with lust? If yes, then you are a lying, theiving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. When you die & stand before God you'll be guilty of breaking His law. The bible says you'll end up in Hell! So God sent God His Son Jesus to die for your sins, & He rose from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus died for your sins & was resurrected) you'll be saved!

[village1diot]

@gramosjr7 So that is why christians have no morality. The can do anything they want, even rape and murder. As long as they believe the gospel when they die, they get the prize of heaven! Wow, that must make life pretty easy for all of you nutjobs.

[patrickledford420]

@village1diot lol i do love it how they claim not only that we are immoral but when they say we lack responsibility because they have the ultimate scapegoat

[aegisgfx]

@village1diot

nailed it!!!

[robvlob]

@gramosjr7 have you 1,2,3, or 4 if yes to any of them you are an a,b,c, and d no or there. If you believe there is 1 person that hasn't 1,2,3,or4ed(willfully or not) your either delusional or 1ed therefore your also an a,b,c, and d. None of that matters belief is the only requirement.

Its like a law that says 1,2,3,or,4 is against the law and if one of those laws are broken you'll be guilty of a,b,c and ,d, but you'll only sentenced if you don't believe that lady justice is real.

[ExaggeratedElegy]

@gramosjr7

Yay!

[darbone]

@gramosjr7 "so God sent God His Son Jesus"???? That does not make any sense what so ever.

[atheistfromaustria]

@gramosjr7 Ray, is it you? How are you, old "banana-fellow", everything just right?

[ciaochowbella]

@gramosjr7 Jesus never existed and you shouldn't threaten people with imaginary beings.

Keep it up and I'm going to sic Godzilla on your self-righteous, arrogant, patronizing, hypocritical ass.

BTW, there is more proof for the existence of Godzilla than for Jesus. At least there are films with PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE of Godzilla. What proof do you have for your Jesus?

[airman122469]

@gramosjr7 *facepalm* I really won't even bother with your ass-hattery. I just want to say this: "Fuck you, you complete and utter asshole." Take yourself out of the human gene pool so that your genetics no longer pollute the human race.

[JasonFthecaptain]

@gramosjr7 have you eaten meat on Friday, have you sacrificed any thing recently, have you killed gay people, have you killed your misbehaving children also if you have long hair you should be ashamed of your self, have you gone near women on their period. If you have done any of the following and hell really exists guess where your going.

[autopsy87]

@gramosjr7 ...kirk cameron? is that you?

[PeGe90]

@gramosjr7 Lol @ Banana Man arguments. Try again, you're nigh as convincing as my little nephew insisting that he saw the elf that brought the presents at Christmas eve.

[gleehmee]

@gramosjr7 that's not all the gospel. do you believe all of it? even the bits that the gospels disagree one?

[Genericdruid]

@gramosjr7 Logical, plausible evidence or GTFO.

[MsPhoneMonkey]

@gramosjr7 Your god is a psychopath who slaughtered babies by the millions. No thanks but have a nice day.

[Forcefield23]

@gramosjr7 i'll rot in the ground, just like you will. modern neuroscience has proved time and again that consciousness is entirely dependent on the brain.

your story book is self-contradictory, historically and scientifically inaccurate and almost entirely plagiarised from earlier pagan mythology.

[doctorbuckner]

@gramosjr7 AHHHH! This is the same speech Ray Comfort uses! Hey Dude even a year later your a Douche! Comfort cant even get this speech to work give it up. Dumb ass Christians! Not even original.

[Electronic897]

Great response, man.

[MastermindX]

That guy who died is the one who used to wank to the teletubbies?

[village1diot]

@MastermindX lol - someone whacked off to teletubbies!? ...and got caught doing it!? Are you serious?

[MastermindX]

@village1diot Hehehe, not really, but he wrote an article complaining about Tinky Winky being gay and corrupting the minds of children with his homosexual behavior. He obviously saw stuff in the Teletubbies that most (sane) people don't see...

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

@village1diot Jerry was the one attacking teletubbies for being pro gay, he probably got mad because Tinky Winky is just an actor in a suit, and was so ashamed over his love for Tinky Winky that he decided to bash on him, unhappy love folks, makes people go fucking nuts.

[sleepychildkungfu]

Fuck Falwell!!!

[MATZAMAN76]

bam bam bigalow.....

[oggleman]

so wait, bill was a prank caller?

[village1diot]

@oggleman That, or he believed Star Trek was a documentary.

[TheAtheistExperience]

@village1diot

Vegas? :-)

[village1diot]

@TheAtheistExperience Yes sir! A few newbe rough spots, but somewhat satisfied for the first attempt.

[123Atheist]

That was a sick opening.

[KevZen2000]

Great video.

[GermanChocolateCake]

@KevZen2000 Agreed.
