QI - Stephen Fry On American Cults & Religion (theUKatheist)

[funcpl2741054]

please....no more shows with 'celebrities' sitting around trying to out smart ass each other and pretend they understand. I am an atheist but shows like this are embarrassing

[UKALogic]

@funcpl2741054 what are you talking about? You do realise this is a comedy show and they are not pretending to understand, when they do its for comedy value. I'm sorry you don't understand :-/

[TugsN]

I read an account of a practical joke some people played on friend who believed in the rapture.

They went to coffee shop. When the girl went to the bath room, half of them took off their clothes and hid. When the girl came back they described their friends turning to light and dissolving.

She did not take it so well when she realized that she missed it.

I knew the answer...I unfortunately was raised SDA

[ummmerrrrummm]

Love QI.

[surfin4]

@GlobalMediaVenture i think its more they like what you have and hate what you have become

[PaperStory]

love it.

[alphacause]

Leave it up to the Brits to underscore how the religious lunacy of America makes us look like one of the dumbest nations in the modern world.

[k7leetha]

@GlobalMediaVenture "Metaphysical" is a bullshit word created to make people who bullshit about bullshit feel better about not having an actual field for their bullshit.

[theUKatheist]

@GlobalMediaVenture the usa invented most things? haha you are DELUSIONAL!

also you think the most religious countries are the most powerful, ?? again DELUSIONAL!!

you think england ( i think you mean the UK btw ) wants to wipe out the US?? not only are you DELUSIONAL but absolutely batshit crazy

"The Brits should work on becoming U.S. citizens"

no thanks mr arrogant asshole

it seems to me that you are one obvious troll. if not then i feel bad for you, you have serious mental issues.

@theUKatheist

I think it became clear he wasn't worth listening to (either because troll, or stupid) at "quantum realm" haha.

[r4d3rz]

@GlobalMediaVenture

Obvious troll is obvious.

[rafalbielec]

I knew it was called the rapture before he said it, but that's nothing to be proud of. It only shows how the American thinking is prevalent across the world and how famous it all is for no good reason. It should be something unheard of in the rest of the world and completely ignored as a lunacy, and yet it's being broadcast across news station like it's a valid point of view across the ocean that should be respected. I don't know about you guys, but I only believe in 2012 lol.

[gir908922]

I love their faces as Stephen Fry is explaining this shit to them. XD

[GalaxyShift]

Not the USA... Maybe when it was the CSA.. hmmmz

[aiyic]

@ZOMGWTFFTL Oh no, half-full it seems - chin up!

[StonedOrcs]

When it said "Thumbs up for the one and only Stephen Fry", I liked this video right away, you're always guaranteed a large like rating if you do that.

[theUKatheist]

@StonedOrcs He is the best. we need to vote him for king of the world.. what a world it would be.

[AliBaBaisRockin]

hahahaha, harrow can be hell :)

[Dubstepsanta1]

If you found this interesting you should watch The God Who Wasn't There made by the guy i cant remember his name. Fuck!

[ulodetero]

@Dubstepsanta1

Brian Flemming

[seranatus]

Very disappointing to see Fry has lowered himself by picking on these people. Like shooting fish in a barrel. He's better than that.

[theUKatheist]

@seranatus he's not picking on no one, its part of the show QI he has to dish out the facts that are relevant to the topic. The facts happened to be what he is mentioning. there is no lowering of ones self if what one says is the truth.

[ndrthrdr1]

I'm a proud atheist American. (Proud refers to the atheist part)

[BitfeNicks]

LOL. I was raised a Jehova's Witness. What a bullshit religion. I mean they all are, but JWs are utterly retarded. Even as a kid none of it made sense to me. I was told Santa wasn't real, then I was told Jesus was going to ride his flaming horse down from heaven and kill every non JW. Even at age 8 I was like "HUH?" No Santa but a murderous Jesus? Okay mom. JWs thought the world was going to end on at least 10 different occasions, and it's one of the fastest growing denominations. I'm scared.

[fl00ders]

@ZOMGWTFFTL That you can concede that, means there's hope for still for some of you. Besides, all countries have morons, they are everywhere really.

[mistacramer]

I remember reading about the Millerites in my history textbook(university level). I am an American and not religious nor do I accept the idea that any god(s) exist.

[GalaxyShift]

I'm calling bullshit. When was the USA ever the most secular nation in the world?

[pythor2]

@GalaxyShift Well...Back when it wasn't called the USA I guess. RUH ROH!

[Bigal155]

Anyone remember David Ike? Not all loonies are Yanks :/

[themsfightinwoids]

50% of Americans still believe in magic. Maybe it's time to stop telling kids that Santa is real.

[justjulie37]

this country is embarrassing !

[wickedenchanter]

@justjulie37 Yes, this country is embarrassing. But we are, apparently, boosting the intellectual value of British television.

[theUKatheist]

@wickedenchanter yes, with shows like took academy and america top model lol.

[wickedenchanter]

@theUKatheist Touche!

[garudagal23]

how many times has the 'end/rapture' been predicted? hundreds of times over the last 2000 yrs if people would bother to check they would find that out. the ignorance and fatuity of many Americans is embarrassing and shameful.

[JEL625]

I laugh now when I remember that America was once the most secular nation of the western world.

Cause frankly the UK can now freely laugh at our cults and stupidity

[r4d3rz]

"50% of Americans do believe that Christ will return"...

...USA controls the world.

I realise that 50% of America, is the America in the middle that is still clinically retarded, but forgive me for feeling slightly worried by this sort of statistic.

[calmreason]

I'm glad we have schools in the UK.

[imation879]

i have friends that think god is good /facepalm
