Provincial Branding: FaithfulApostle

[allianceofdemons]

Aaron is his name you say? This would explain his sockaccount aaron8960 and his connection with the Alliance of Christ. Of course there are probably more theists with the name aaron but I kind of see more patterns now that I know the way he speaks and how he moves.

"Dead weight and immanent death to the debate team" XD

My face hurts!

[longdragon3]

hats off to you sir for the asskicking of a religious dumbass.

[tapotsnm]

Epic... simply EPIC. I love it. Good burn. Also love the term, provincial. I was born and raised in a rural society, yet I do have an education, but perhaps there are differences between Dutch countryside and American countryside hahaha. I didn't know we still had people with brains dating back to the middle ages.

Keep up the good work. 5 stars ... okay and a fave :-)

[TheFaithofGod]

"apocalyptically ignorant" - look at yourself for the defintion, "patrician atheist".

[Akatam0t0ma]

Care to back up your claim about Patrician Atheist?

I have some bad news for you: Believing in bronze-age myths of the buy-bull or the cran does NOT makes you intellectually or morally superior. Tough shit, heh?

[Goat1977fu]

I've been a sub and fan for a few months. I love your videos but I have to say I find your use of the word. 'provincial' as a derogatory term stereotypical and beneath you. For those in urban areas to dismissively insult those in rural areas is a hypocritical disregard for the origin of every morsel of food they've ever eaten on par with a fundy railing against science via a webcam and the internet. I am a farmer. I'm not a christian, a republican or an idiot. But I am provincial.

[Acuraintegraman1]

he wouldn't belong to a chess club, oh burn...

[AlmightyFRACTA]

"evidence does not prove anything." imagine if that kid was on trial.

[themanuman]

The Patrician Atheist was definately here

[AlphonsusPeck]

I kinda hate the word, as I feel it is badly over used. But I'd have to say that "pwned" is really the best word to use to describe what you did to this kid.

That said, I didn't (and apparently cannot) see the original video. Still, I trust your assessments, and I'm willing to grant this as classic pwnage.

[Akatam0t0ma]

"That said, I didn't (and apparently cannot) see the original video."

Yes you can, right here:

I've also linked the mirrored version of Aaron's video via the red annotation at the bottom of my video (shown at the beginning).

[bad4ever2001]

Best smackdown I have seen in ages. Now all I need is a chocolate bourbon biscuit to feel the physical sweet taste.

^^

[1imax111]

I think you enjoyed that:P

i did in any case:D

[Titania1]

"Heir to the kingdom of idiots.." lol I loved that. Might have to use it, it's just brilliant. Still laughing :-)

[kirke420]

Great vid... I do feel a little bad for the kid though. Strange, considering that I'm a godless heathen with no moral compass. :)

[cthulhex]

The goog ol' faith test

Did god put evidence of evolution on earth to test your faith?

The answer is No

For the theist is more than enough test the fact that he/it is invisible, intangible, uninterfering or uninterested in human affairs and logically contradictory or self-refuting... the conclusion is the requirement of faith, they have to say, like EdwardCurrent, "He only appears to be non-existent"

"I think god put you here to test MY faith, man!" -Bill Hicks, speaking to a hypothetical creationist

[IllPropaganda]

Dig this filmstrip style of production.

Excellent video!

[DeistPaladin]

"apocalyptically ignorant"

I love it.

[Palluke]

Yes! Yes! Yes!! praise patricianatheist!

[BubbelBlink]

Great video, as always. I first thought you were being a bit harsh but when I watched his video I realised just how much he deserved it. Admitting evidence for evolution but claiming it doesn't prove anything is a type of ignorance I haven't come across before.

Keep up the good work!

[XChillX42]

Heh, I had a fucking huge crack at this guy, he started to ignore me.

[AncientAtheist]

If faith made sense, you wouldn't *need* faith!

[kirke420]

Nice one! :)

[FaithfulApostle]

Also, I would do great in the Chess club. I beat everyone I play. I could beat you, know-it-all.

[Akatam0t0ma]

Computers can beat people in Chess too but that doesn't make them smart. Your skills in Chess are irrelevant to your rational thinking skills, which you proudly demonstrate in your video to be that of a hookworm.

[AncientAtheist]

You are unique. I've known many outstanding chess players who beat virtually everyone, but they were all in various chess clubs. I wonder why you wouldn't be? Is it that you aren't that good? Why waste your talent? After getting beat a few times, would you resign from the club as quickly as you resigned from your channel? Just wondering.

[kirke420]

I've beat everyone I've ever played at chess, too... and it only proves that I wouldn't play chess with someone who can beat me.. :)

P.S. I suck at chess, but my claim is true.

[FaithfulApostle]

I don't live in a trailer.

[Ephemerance]

patricianatheist, you were needlessly petty in this video. This was mindless trash which resolves absolutely nothing.

[patricianatheist]

Well, the kid just closed his account out of shame. I think a problem was certainly resolved.

[Ephemerance]

I'm sorry that you feel unleashing a mob onto someone was somehow productive. I thought you a better man patricianatheist.

[patricianatheist]

I have unleashed no such thing. No mob demanded that he close his account or was instructed by me to harass him. I called him out and instead of allowing my video response (there were already 5 or 6 to that video) and defending himself he exposed himself as a coward as well as a fool. Again, this video unapologetically embraces the sentiment of John Maynard Keynes that "Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assault of thoughts on the unthinking." It succeeded in doing just that.

[Ephemerance]

"philosophically untenable"

There is no such thing as an untenable philosophy.

[CHAS1422]

When a soldier of God(or Allah) sets up to do battle with a better position, he shouldn't carry a plastic sword with the faith that it can beat a steel battle ax...

great video! Faith alone cannot stand against physical evidence and reasoned logic.

[Morelloforever]

you win yet again sir!

[abyssquick]

Patrician, you should put your skills to better use than trashing these religious clowns. You have good command of language, and great articulation.

These people are born into a millenia-old social meme with so much momentum that it bowls over all reason and inquiry. They have no existential questions that "god" can't answer.

Good video, like you last one. But I can certainly see you doing bigger things with your skills.

[JohnHasSeriousQ]

Well said!

[WizardJim]

I rather like this "provincial branding" schtic, it's like pwnage but classier.

[DaDaWgLLS]

Classy pwnage.. I like it!

[tattooskin72]

Bleh, who cares if he's an easy target. Sometimes you just need to take an easy one for humor's sake :)

Personally, I think most of them are easy targets... they all use the same arguments.

[Un0riginalAlias]

TheWoodsofJordan? TUB? You appear to be picking easy targets.

Then again, I could easily be accused of doing the same.

[Akatam0t0ma]

There are hardly any religious apologists, Christian or Muslim here on YouTube who aren't easy targets.

[deauvillimus]

I am surprised you are wasting your time on this extremely stupid kid. On the good side you entertained me superbly with you lecturing him.

[patricianatheist]

Haha I initially wasn't going too. Someone requested that I do it and I had some time to throw it together so I did.
