  • I love this guy and I'm not even gay .

    ALL religion is dangerous , divisive , infantile nonsense.

    Start a political party Pat , you will get my vote.

  • Thy will not mine be done, oh Lord! ... read... I am quite happy to cop it up the ass as long as you don't fry me in hell for eternity.

  • First sorry for my lame English I’m not English native speak but I have to comment your video is quite a good, one of the best critique about religions I heard is good to know that still exist people capable of thinking beyond the box and beyond the TV box

    I disagree with you in some parts for example you confuse religion with the institution (church) for example the church created several doctrines and rituals which are not “divine” inspire for example Christmas

  • @gigaya777 Christmas was created by the church in order to substitute a pagan tradition (celebration of the solstice, the “Roman solar holiday” or “Dies Natalis Solis Invicti”) after several hundreds of years of corruption and made up traditions, time and the man´s hand destroy the very essence of the religion that happen in all major religions but that process is far more intensive in Muslims , and Catholics , Jews are more “traditionals” and their believes has not change very much

  • @gigaya777 All this (speaking about Catholics) Start when the roman empire made catholic religion the official religion and with that they used it as a weapon to control people. the romans change the very foundation of the new catholic religion (the early catholic tradition or let said it the catholic religion which is the very same “Jew religion” with some minor changes, that shows us how twisted is now catholic religion)

  • @gigaya777 the romans made several changes for example they changed the obey God for Obey the church because the pope is the representative of God (the bible never said that) this is why I disagree with you in that matter because we can´t confuse religion and church

  • @gigaya777 The correct and only way of be a true believer (in my opinion) is you have to ”rationalize your faith”. me as a rational person when I grew up I rationalize my religion and decided which parts are divine and which parte are not in other words choice the pure essence of the religion because years of corruption has turn the religions institutions (all of them)in tools for peoples domination, of course to do that (be a believer) ,

  • @gigaya777 , you must accept some parts as facts for example I assume that God is Real and my God is the same god of Abraham ( funny fact Catholic, Muslims and Jews share the same god)

  • @gigaya777 if God exist is like saying is Schrödinger's cat alive?, we will never know so we cannot blame anyone for believe or not in any Gods like a said is part of our free will the problems begin when people don´t rationalize their believes and religion institutions turn them into brain washed people

  • @gigaya777 But I’m 100% agree with you, religions “institutions” are the most lucrative “non lucrative” institutions in the world

  • @gigaya777 In conclusion we can say that religion is not wrong or right because in a pragmatic way religion is a moral code , the problem is the church because they use the moral code and take a profit from it is like a politician making profit thanks to his position in the congress .

    We can blame democracy or religion for the mistakes of the politicians and clerics

  • fascists, ever ever land. blah blah blah. get a life buddy. what self righteous garbage. move in to the wilderness. how conceited are you- religious people are idiots, making fools of themselves on their knees. how insecure are you, posting these video's trying to come off as intellectually superior to other human beings.. it's a shame you haven't gotten over this, at your age. priests are rapists, blah blah blah. go give someone a hug. turn away from coldness, embrace humanity, don't mock it

  • i can't believe people still put these boring atheist video's online... everything there is to say, has been said. we, as atheists, should move on.. we recognize what seems to be the true psychological explanation for religion, there is really no need to break it down any further. we don't believe in something- lets leave it at that. the actions of the clergy shouldn't surprise us.. lets preach compassion, and move on..

  • luv this fukn guy!! He makes some very good points. BUT I DON'T BLOODY HELL BELIEVE IT!! GOD has a VERY powerful IMPACT on LIFE and everything that happens in LIFE. Thanku atheist guy, you are of great help in feeling reality of life. God however has his or her own plan. Thankyou.

  • If after our existance, extraterrestrial were to find any evidence of our race I'd pick a Pat Condell video.

    (For our most intelligent representation)

  • Laughing oodles here...

    Pat you're always on target...

  • insisto, es buen comediante, nada más que eso.

  • Excellent channel.

  • He tells it like it is. If you religous people are to blind to know what your church is doing to you then its too late for you.

  • @TheYellowscorpion Going to church doesn't make you a christian anymore than going to the garage makes you a car.

  • @Thechristiancullen that makes no sense. Your comparison is flawed in so many ways.

  • @TheYellowscorpion Not all christians are christian. This makes perfect sense - same as not all atheists are communists.

  • I respect your intellect and ability to argue a point. Never would I view myself as intelligent as you, but with some intelligence behind me, I can tell you I have yielded to the power of a God who loves me and you and would very much love to save you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. I think once converted, you will be one of the most powerful witnesses of our time....or face eternity in the hands of an Angry God. God bless you anyway..

  • @giannivee1 Do you really, honestly believe you just made a convincing argument there?

  • @Valyn66 No, i don't think I could ever convince this man or most of the people entering this room. However, doubting Thomas after the Crucifixion said, unless i put my hands in his side and put my fingers on his hands and see, I do not believe he rose from the dead (in regards to the resurrection). Jesus appeared in the room with the twelve and said: Thomas put your hands here and touch my hands. Thomas response was: "My Lord and My God!". Thomas went from Jew to Christian in a microsecond

  • @giannivee1 Well, I will instantly convert as well the minute a recently-resurrected Jesus Christ shows up in my living room.

    *shakes head*

    It's genuinely scary that you say this stuff with a straight face.

  • @Valyn66 As an evangelist I have done my duty to tell you, as a sinner you have chosen to reject him. I leave you in peace. May you still find God while it is time. Peace in Christ. A prayer for you and then the dust off of my feet. Thanks for listening...Gianni

  • Pat Are the words you spoke coming from you or from Satan? You dont believe in God yet you talk as if you believe in Jesus You didn't know in all your unmighty wisdom that Jesus is the son of God?

    I can believe in a few of the things you say but other than that you are off your rocker You would make a much better comedian than someone who who is a non believer But I am not worried for me I know what the future holds and the part that God and Jesus will play in these parts U will see soon

  • catholicswont control there priest an stop them touching little boys the dirty bastards kill the cunts

  • do you sell T-shirts with quotes and a signature?

  • Означени за говорот на омразата на религијата. Се надевам дека вашиот профил добива избришани.

  • Your a Saint and a Hero

  • You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. - Neil Peart

  • Hi Pat, 3.3 billion people (Islam and Christianity) know all the secrets of the universe. They also truly believe that I am a heretic and an infidel and that I will burn in hell for eternity.

    How can they claim to know with such arrogant certitude? what has happened to humility?

  • I hate democracy, but I like women and especially homosexuals. I also like God, death, and the thought of you crying into your pillow at night.

  • No, no. You don't mean god bless atheism. (yes, I get the subtlety) Your problem is with the clergy and the organizations. You started by saying that you don't mind theism. The mystical discernment of the stuff that is over the human knowledge horizon surely includes amazing answers about our origin. What if a person is humbled by this certain possibility and calls whatever is there god? He is no longer an atheist, yet he supports none of the things rightfully rail against.

  • I am a cult of one. No clergy needed.

  • Wow, for someone who doesn't believe in god or organized religion, you spend quite a bit of time "preaching" against it. Aren't there so many other subjects an obviously intelligent man like you can discuss? I agree with much of what you say, but your statement that all gods are false sort of made me chuckle. I'm assuming you have proof of this? I mean, that is NEWS!! If not, you're showing just as much faith in your "belief" as those who believe in a traditional god. Enjoyable all the same!

  • @Abby1225 You obviously missed the point of the video. It is because religions and their clergy are actively stealing from people and infringing on basic human rights that Pat or anyone else HAS to "preach" against it. I'd tell you to get a clue but your religion probably makes that impossible.

  • @aurianaserena Well, no one HAS to preach to anyone. Preaching from either side is still preaching. I don't subscribe to religion, so nothing makes it impossible for me to understand. I do understand. Way more than you know... Religion separates. It's you against them, you're right, they're wrong. Blind obedience to anyone or anything is still being blind, no matter which "side" you happen to be on. I just don't think we need anyone "preaching" at anyone else. Live your life. Be well.

  • The best laughs have been lately coming from people like you; THANK YOU!! I am a free thinker too and very proud of it and you my friend are helping me quite much in being comfortable with my little knowledge of science and reason.

    I don't know how to thank you for giving us the opportunity to open our eyes and don't allow these Jesus freaks to take our hard-earned money. THANKS AGAIN!!

  • An illustration of the power of the dirty little catholic church in Ireland. All my adult life I have voted in elections never fully realising that EVERY politician whom I elected had to go 'cap in hand' to the vatican's rep before introducing beneficial legislation. The vatican has been the occupying power in Ireland for centuries. We 'ran' the British out. Talk about throwing the bay out the baby with the bath water...

  • Folks like Pat Condell demonstrate the following:

    1. Shockingly bad social skills

    2. Bitterness at everything

    3. Very few actual friends

    4. Frustrations and broken dreams

    5. Brooding, scheming, hateful.

    rent a cottage somewhere you old crank, breathe some fresh air, get out of your stupid little room you film in. Spend time in nature, and some charity and volunteering would go a long way.

    Peace be with you.

  • @hecdc As opposed to someone like you, who just posts negative comments online? You're a MUCH better human being. You're a peach.

  • I'll buy you a drink, Pat, if ever I ran into you...

  • @brainybaboon why? he didn't design the AK 47

  • Comment removed

  • Mr. Pat Condell i salute you

  • As a non-believer, it pisses me off when people like you try their damndest to turn not believing into a religon. I don't need to proclaim to the world over and over that I am an unbeliever in order to be one, you apparently do.

  • @lima33ful

    Do you not realise that BAD people can only do BAD things when GOOD people allow them to!

  • looks like he has a very tinted view on the world. If he beliefs the problems of Africa are solved by handing out condoms he must be very naive.

    looks like a frustrated ex catholic frustrated about it's shortfalls. Pitty he has not lerned to expand his mind to understand God and Jesus independent of the catholic church but behaves more like a sulking child. Still nice comments about the politics in religion.

  • @fourteatwo God was created by humans, my friend. Not the other way around.

  • @GluttonForSex

    "God was created by humans, my friend. Not the other way around."

    No, humans tried to put a face to God and they made him look like a person as they could not cope with the abstract thing that is God. The problem is that humans then think God needs to be an omnipotent being who controls things because humans want to control others but do not really want to be controled in the hope that the masses would accept fate. However Jesus being the word of God tuned flesh is logic.

  • @fourteatwo There's a more simple possibility. Magical sky daddies do not exist to begin with.

    In nature, the simplest solution tends to be the right one.

  • @mrDonVito19 ironivally, christianity is about following Jesus, not religion

  • @gogolplex74 It's almost cute how incredibly naive you are thinking the two can be separated. Cheers.

  • This guy is my new hero.. seriously.

  • I think the word "Islam" means submission so both of them have something in common.

  • One day, I prayed to God and God told me to stay away from churches.

    And I did.

  • @lysol5555 You "stay away" from the jewish holocaust church, as well ?

  • @lysol5555 Funny, Jesus said the same thing...

  • LMAO "...because that's where the bullshit detector is."

  • @mrDonVito19 I think the so-called antisemites know s/th about the Jews. I don´t know Mel Gibson. I don´t watch TV. I know very little about celebrities.

  • @mrDonVito19 You mean, antisemites are bigots ?

  • @mrDonVito19 Do the Jews follow a religion ?

  • Is there anything you do not hate, or any one you have not offended? Is that your moral argument which you want us to listen to? If you were to become a leader, what would you leads us toward? you are just full of shit.

  • PC fulfilling Prophecy? Mat 5:and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Mat 12:Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.

    Applicable here?

    Mat 7:Matthew 7:6

    Don't give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

  • False God and this One IS ??????????? Wolves n Sheep Clothing, there was a Warning 2000 years ago!

  • God Bless Atheism, isn't this a contradiction? 

  • @Hibbard1986

    You need an irony sandwich.

  • The Christians who go nuts and do bad things are almost always loners. Organized religion and orthodoxy can help reign in some of the more wacked out ideas.

    As to the idea that clergy are "arrogant", are you suggesting that you are humble? Atheists are usually very clever, but they are seldom modest.

  • @dragknuckle

    Arrogance is about active over-estimation of your abilities and knowledge.

    Religious preachers clearly overestimate the validity of their dogma and "certainty" (while they have as good as nothing), Atheists on the other hand have such a harder time to be intellectually dishonest (but obviously, a lot of them are, which ain't good in any way).

  • Buddhism is hardly a "religion" by the criteria this video puts forth

  • *Subscribes*

  • Now THIS vid should go viral! Simply superb!!

  • OMG, yet another fanatic atheist!

  • good work and again a verbal assassination of all the "blood suckers" masquerading as "holy men" and shame of the media for giving them all shine, reverence and relevance!

  • I'm sorry. I have to understand you are not at the same point as others. My fault. Let me explain.

    God is not a human, and is far beyond our vision and understanding, so He has send us Messengers we call Jesus, or Muhammad, or Moses. We misrepresent what they say. You see what Jesus said is no different from what Moses said, or what Muhammad said. The differences are caused by their followers and Not God. Not enough space to go farther. Peace. chuck

  • The best christians are Buddhists.

  • @mlcollins10 thats actually pretty profound :D not meant as sarcasm,yeah they do act more christian than christians

  • Pat does put it rather succinctly

  • I despise your FACE LOL

  • Hi there. I believe in God. Or should I say, the facts support the existence of God. Do you know that Jesus wrote to the Pope and told him to use the riches of the church to help poor people. The pope did not do this, and we see the church collapsing. As far as clergy is concerned, we now elect our local leaders, and the clergy is no more. Peace. chuck

  • @chumola9

    Jesus wrote to the Pope? PMSL! Have you got any more?

  • @griefingtons I'm sure when the Pope hears from HYH HHY it won't be as Funny as this!

  • Must Lies continue 

  • Chaucer couldn't have put it better himself! Canterbury Tales revisited - and nothing has changed, until this very day.

    Many greetings from Germany, Pat, keep up the"good" work.

  • Comment removed

  • You are so eloquent . It is a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you .

  • When some bishops embrace pedophilia, It becomes the enemy of itself and the society. Please help to get rid of bad bishops . Vlazny , Law. Mahony,Regali.

  • Muslims always become nervous and evasive when I want to talk about Buraq. It's the magic donkey with a human head that according to Islam flew Muhamad into the heavens and back in one night. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • @TheRockZH Sounds like the 'missing link' had superpowers then

  • @TheRockZH, Muhammed was an Opium Addict. He rode that donkey in his Pipe Dreams.

  • @InfidelArmee

    >>>Muhammed was an Opium Addict. He rode that donkey in his Pipe Dreams.

    Hear hear!

  • @TheRockZH That's the same donkey Muhammad and his 9 year old wife rode to their honeymoon.

  • @DwayneJKing

    Buraq the cross-bred bastard

  • Your the man

  • I love the idea of having an internal bullshit detector

  • i still find it revolting that US politicians use god, their imaginary friend, as a tool for being elected. I'm not voting for anyone who claims stuff like "the invasion of Iraq is a mission from God!". how the hell can anyone vote for a person who drag their personal god into politics?

  • @mrDonVito19 Is there any difference to you?

  • Your are SO illogical. Your ad hominum arguements appeal to the bitter and ignorant-but prove nothing.

  • "heart is the bullshit detector" hahahaha love it - good job pat! ur the best!

  • He says everything i've always thought, but couldn't articulate that well..

    Perfect!

  • I fucking love this man :)

  • An Orthodox Bulgarian clergy named Nicholay has TWO lux limos Audi A8. A boy tried to steal them TWO times and after they caught him the clergy accused him and the youth of being "away from god" because they steal... Fucken hypocrisy...

  • Does believing in a God, but not any religion, operating on part common sense and part faith constitute atheism or a new religion?  Would this be a religion the whole world can agree upon, if it was based on a simple set of morals, no Sharia Law, no burkas or churches, no clergy or collection plates, but absolutely devoid of bullshit?

  • @betatalk357 You are quite young obviously and therefore still quite idealistic. How can the whole world agree on this. They don't now and they never will. You also can't make them. You can't enforce it. Otherwise it would make you just as bad as any totalitarian ideology.

  • @agstnr Sure, the world has the right to agree to disagree. I don't want to make or force people into it. But, illustrate its practicality and let people decide for themselves. In the modern world, many religions don't want to get along with one another. But common sense says that after preaching so much hate and violence, people will either become fanatics or stop practicing religion or that specific religion. Sooner or later, that religion will have a bad connotation about it and die out.

  • @agstnr Then will come a time when people stop believing in religion and its power will die out.  Either people will be enlightened to no longer need religion (which is doubtful) or the world will descend into a cesspool of anarchy. So it makes sense that a multi-faith, multi-cultural religion would emerge. People of current faiths can remain in their religions if they want to. However, this new religion, it should be based on good morals and common sense.

  • @agstnr This new religion shouldn't have any stupid rituals like Fish on Friday or Sabbaths, no Prophet Muhammad and all that babbling bullshit. Keep it simple, peaceful, and open to all. If people likes its teachings, it will gain popularity. If not, it too will fade away and the last remaining religions would have to fend for themselves, if they're still around.

    Even mrDonVito19 has something to believe in, but doesn't like religion. And 15 people agree with him, including me.

  • pat makes good videos, but this one is among the all time best videos on youtube, or heck, the internet.

  • Ignorance is bliss, right :) ?

  • @skadho disgusting

  • A muslim is a follower of a totalitarian ideology that disguises itself as religion, to enjoy tolerance and freedom in societies that Islam has seeked to destroy for centuries. Muslims don't want to integrate. They want to force the world to adopt Islam and have set up enclaves. Don't let Muslims tell you that Islam is the "religion of peace". This is simply taqiyya (lying to push Islam, which is allowed in their ideology)

    /watch?v=cWI7tjIdPvc

  • Hello Patcondell, I am a christian, but nevertheless in agreement in most (certainly not all) comments on religeon, politics, common sense, logic and clergy - and that without departing from the bible (koin Greek) as much as an inch.

    I am writing this in order to give you the opportunity to assess wether the problem might not possibly persist in a misrepresentation of God by the clergy and 'christendom' as it presents itself in the large majority?

  • Being a theist, I came at the same exact conclusions as this good sir. One could go on forever arguing whether God exists or not .. to each for his own.. but much more importantly & more urgent is the arguments put forward here aren't actually an exclusivity of Atheist but also of Theist like myself. Which I feel is a very positive thing actually & it's good that more became aware of this fact.

  • So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.Romans 10:17

    So preach on clergy!

  • Pat you are so awesome keep speaking and posting. The human race needs to hear what you have to say

  • This man should get a knighthood, well done Pat !

  • PAT i WOULD LOVE TO HEAR A VIDEO FROM YOU ON HAROLD CAMPING WHO PREDICTED THE WORLD WOULD END MAY 21 2011

  • Jesus probably existed. my stance on Jesus is that he was a philosopher with a feel good philosophy similar to Buddha. he probably didn't make any statements about being son of god, or resurrecting during his life. he was just a normal dude. however, some wily bastard decided he could exploit his story by making him into a deity, and BOOM we have religion.

  • At 2:45 - "The only moral any sane person takes from religion, is don't believe everything you read in books". Another great quote from Pat...I'm going to get this printed on a T-shirt!! Respect to my fellow Atheists, Peace.

  • dude man some sense iam a catholic but not as mindless as other Catholics.

  • @acidsnake8, Prove it.

  • Comment removed

  • AMEN TO THAT, PAT, AMEN !

  • RELIGION IS NOT YOUR FRIEND !

    RELIGION IS A JUDAS !

  • @mrDonVito19 ...Just so you are aware....the word "slavery" does not even appear in either the old or new testament. You can tell that to those idiots over at the Zeitgiest studios. lol The Holy Bible does not endorse any of that other nonsense either. What you have been fed, is doper baby bong theology propoganda.

  • @mrDonVito19 ...Ok....ya smart alec, but I still don't like faries.

  • condell is full of bs

    and that stupid smurk on his ape face just says it all

  • @mrDonVito19 ....I like Jesus to...but I can't stand that tooth fairy, or any other faries for that matter.

  • Right on Pat! You got 'em pegged for sure!

  • don't believe anything this joker patcondell is saying 

  • @szlagjasny umad?

  • way to go Pat! eloquent, funny, witty ... and a kind, Santa Claus like face always helps (: - keep up the good work!

  • I agree if you choose a religion for comfort and guidance then it should be non-denominational.

  • Pat Condell is Humanities god. He is a hero to the Human species. His words are gospel for Humans. Those that don't agree with him are life and Human hating piffle and they need to be cleansed from my earth. I thank you Patrick for speaking for the human race instead of hating it like religion does.

  • If you look inside, take inventory of the community of trillions of cells working together to sustain consciousness, you may realize you do not need to force your beliefs on others, and you will be labeled heretic/infedel by organized religion.

  • Wow so I'm thinking of joining the clergy, I think this should be compulsory viewing during discernment. I'm a Christian, but I also enjoy these videos - nothing to wake you up to what is wrong with religion than an angry but articulate atheist. I really think it'd be a great way of helping people. You know pastoral care, helping people in their faith and doing charitable works. I kind of feel like God (or my mental illness) is guiding me to do this good to see some of the pitfalls.

  • Hi Pat,

    Here in New York, I'm a feminist who exposes Islam to anyone who will listen. I am no longer a multi-culturalist and am drifting right. Peace.

  • Amen Pat. God Bless Atheism!

  • Oh man, HAHAHAHAHAAH !!!! Pat almost killed me with laughter. We love you Pat. Bless You.

    peace and Love to All

  • the absent are easily refuted. its easy to put up a ridiculous caricature and then rip it to shreds. why not debate rowan williams or n.t. wright or one of the countless millions of christians doing good in the world that you know nothing about? because they're too busy doing good. while you're too busy foaming at the mouth.

  • @heesakkersj Yea, doing good ! my foot ! Like entrancing more humans by your nonsense, contradictory and fear instilling religion and turning them into limited, brainwashed and submissive beings with conditioned lives. Well we are all supposed to be doing good anyway. Well if there are millions of Christians doing all this good wgy are there still wars, hunger, poverty, torture, injustice etc ...then?

    Love , peace and blessing

  • @CharlesMCavarra

    maybe because we are all not doing enough to stop it. i'll put my hand up. this guy is so prejudiced and misinformed that i just can't take him seriously. i mean look up the full transcript of what the archbishop of canterbury said about sharia law. its on the net for all to see. the problem isn't 'religion' or 'clergy' or 'atheism' or whatever label. its human nature. like solzenitzen said 'the line dividing good and evil runs through every heart'. cheers

  • i am a muslim i love jesus and respect christianity 2 no reality of islam plz go 2 yusuf estes.com peace

  • Well taken point: It all about defending the athoritative power of the clergy. Europe went thru that phaze: For over 500 years the athority of the clergy was undisputed. Fortunately these times R past. 2day, religion is nothing more than a service industry.

  • 7:57 "Turn to religon for comfort, but not the truth" Absolutely, This is really the only practical use for religon today in the age of science.
