Suppose Abraham had lit that sacrificial pyre, I shudder to think of the damage it would have caused to this world. There was far too much greenery on it to produce anything like a good clean burn. All that smoke would have risen into the atmosphere, and might have caused such a terrible global warming in a few thousand years time.
Good Old God; he saved our: "Bacon / Bagel / Beef / Brussel sprouts" (delete as necessary) once again.
@Hukka55 I can't tell if this is intentionally ironic, or if you actually think that insinuating that people are stupid while telling them to get along is productive. No matter, I like you anyhow =)
While I was not being ironic ( I actually think anyone who is unable to get along with other people unless being specifically and personally bothered by them are in fact less smart), I do not believe my comment was in any way productive. I hope so, anyway. Maybe it will wake some people up and get them to behave when discussing these matters. I like you too, a good critique reply, but no provocation. =)
And just so you do not have to repeat the question, here is your answer: No, I am not an ostrich, neither by species or by a metaphorical description.
wow there cant be one video on youtube that mentions religion where people go bat shit crazy, and all the jesus freaks slam down their bibles and call everyone idiots and all the darwin freaks slam down their text books and call everyone idiots... its a funny video get the fuck over it.
I'm a Christian and I find this hilarious. Why wouldn't God want us to see the funny side of his proclaimations and word? I don't think it necessarily has to be disrespectful. The way of the Lord is truly unbeleiveable, that's one of the things that makes it so amazing. Why not also have fun with it?
I'm from the United States of America, which means I believe you can practice whatever law-abiding religion you want, but don't you dare shove it down people's throats and say you're better because of it, because I'm pretty good with logic. And I will use that logic to destroy you.
It's ironic that you admonish religious people to not "shove" their beliefs down your throat when you, by necessary implication, want to "shove" your own beliefs down theirs. Namely by telling them what they can and can't do.
It's laughable that you invoke your "knowledge" of "logic" when you use such obviously self defeating and fallacious arguments.
Oh and @chtheodoulou, while I'm at it, let's talk about exploitation and how the church has exploited their political ties to bring hardship to anyone who threatened their way of life. A way of life, I might add, that persecutes anyone who is different. Your church has burned cities to the ground, committed genocide, stolen millions of dollars worth of treasures from the dead that lay in it's wake. Ever heard of the Crusades? Oh I'm sorry. I forgot you people don't like historical evidence.
First, arguing that the Church is evil, etc. because of what unrelated Christians did a thousand years ago is as "logical" as indicting all Spaniards because of the Inquisition, all Germans because of the war, or all Blacks because of crime statistics.
Second, saying that you're not talking about "religion" but the "church" is irrelevant. You're tying disparate, distinct acts committed by disparate, distinct people and trying to equate the two with a fallacy.
@irpwny It's worth noting that Admiral's comments were directed at a remark stating that their religion was "pure and descending from the ancient times" (essentially invoking a precedent as rationale for their beliefs), so expressing some historical facts as a counterpoint is somewhat appropriate; akin to pointing out the nazi movement if someone attempts to claim that germans are historically untainted.
@irpwny Not really a good comparison on your part.. Saying the church is bad because of it tainted history is not the same as your examples. Take forexample your german comparison. I can say that facism is bad because of it's history but i can't really blame present day germans... I could however point a finger at a present day fascist... Whatever country he/she might be from.
Excuse me, @chtheodoublou Is this pure church that taught you to respect and love other people the same church that tortured and murdered millions of people simply for expressing their natural ideas? Isn't this the same church that marked Joan of Arc a witch because she stood against a tyrannical mad man who sought to burn her country to the ground?? And before you care to comment without reading my whole argument, know that I'm not saying religion is evil. But your bloody church damn well is.
These people should not be allowed to do this...They play with peoples' sensitivities and they do not respect other cultures. You can humour on other things but not with other people's cultures and beliefs. Who gave them the right to do so? why don't they mock themselves? They speak a language which has no pure english words but if all foreign language words are deducted they will talk in sign language. Why do not they mock the way their society is build. No family values!
@karry299 it is wrong because you are laughing at peoples' religions which are deeply embedded in their cultures. Just because you believe religion should not exist you can keep that opinion to yourself or in a channel where there is a requirement that you will be an atheist to join.
It is the same thing as believing that it is OK to walk around naked because its natural but the people surrounding you find that offending so this is the reason why you should go to nude beaches
Guess what, nudists are much more civilized people than religious freaks. Nudists dont brainwash children to pray to nonexistant bloodthirsty gods, they dont threaten you with eternal torture if you dont join them, nudists still pay taxes, nudists dont try to sell you anything or beg for your money.
Overwhelmingly i find, that even if nudists might "offend me" - they are much, much, much less harmful than believers in evil jewish gods.
@karry299 From your response I understand where you are coming from, and I feel sorry for you. The way you was brought up and how your so called "church" operates in your country which was actually created by someone who wanted to have sex freely. Ours is pure and descending from the ancient times, anyway I don't care of your opinion its just offending to talk like that about someones belief and cultures in a free space like internet. Your liberty stops where it interferes with others
@karry299 and again we were not brought and raised in the misjudged way you say. We were brought up to respect and love other people. Were you coming from its all about Money, who will exploit the other first, you divide and conquered so many countries and brought hardship among people. You should not talk as if you know everything because you don't. There is an inherent atheist culture in your country which is fine. This is why you are characterized as "cold", "hypocrites" and "valueless",
@chtheodoulou Skase malaka,mas dropiazeis olous tous Ellines.An den katalavenies asteia,pigenai va anapseis kandili kai afise tin komothia yia aftous pou kseroun na yelasoun.I thriskia ine yemato malakies kai i skeni etho thihni ti malakies pisteoun oi hazoi.People, this wanker is a Greek god botherer and just proves that religion fucks the minds of any people,no matter thier language or denomination.
Been seeing a few of these religion themed M&W sketches and honestly, I don't think they are pro-atheist. For example, at 2:10 the tone becomes a little sarcastic, but the sarcasm isn't really directed at religion, if you think about it.
@handsomebrick - I think you're right. M&W aren't destroying belief systems, they're simply laughing at those who take them too far. I wish people could simply enjoy the sketch without arguing about the religion behind it.
@handsomebrick Of course they are pro-atheist - they are intelligent, educated and cynical. In fact, poor logic, ignorance and optimism irritate them to the point that they have to make comedy sketches about it. How could they possibly support theism?
I love Mitchell and Webb for pointing out everything I thought when I first read this story (number 1 being "WTF God?!" and number 2 being "WTF Abraham?!")
@dwoodsky Ok EXPLAIN How We Came Into Being...EXPLAIN How He Said His Words Will Live Forever 2000+ Years Later plz EXPLAIN How They Still Are Here Today. Your Ignorance Kills You. WAKE UP! & OCCUPY THE FED!!!!
@WorldStarBeatz "EXPLAIN How He Said His Words Will Live Forever 2000+ Years Later" wow so any religion that says that it will hang around a while has to be true? I guess that means islam is true too because thats been around a while too. hell the greek gods still get worshipped by some people, so i guess they must be real because they're older than your god.
@WorldStarBeatz i assume that you are male, but i must also assume that your dick is mutilated, so that you could sacrifice its blood to god to to sanctify your trip. to say the least there are scriptures held holy by the budhists the out-date yours, and even shinto scriptures that are nearly as old as the new testiment. not to mention chinese histories that are as old as the oldest old testiment document, that aren't even religious. the key word you used was forever, and that cant be questioned
@WorldStarBeatz i could attempt to explain how human life came into existence, but i suspect you would say that there is a lack of detail. and you might say but the bible is prolific and everywhere, and i would say that is because a large number of people make copies of it, in many languages, which was a nono for the catholics for a long time. so i guess the best i can say is, go fuck yourself. i sure as hell am likely to do so soon after this post (/me gets ready to go jerk off)
This sketch is an absolute outrage.
Suppose Abraham had lit that sacrificial pyre, I shudder to think of the damage it would have caused to this world. There was far too much greenery on it to produce anything like a good clean burn. All that smoke would have risen into the atmosphere, and might have caused such a terrible global warming in a few thousand years time.
