[ButterflywithBALLS]

T!N!T!!

[papilion]

Your car may be done but wait til you get the bill.

Signed the flying spaghetti monster.

[mrbobmanbob]

Roy Zimmerman for God-Emperor of Mankind.

[bostsu2001]

Typical godly fuck-up... promise one thing... don't deliver... then deliver a child after Sara gives Abraham Hagar thereby ensuring war for at least 3 millenia... Doesn't this sound more like what the devil would do? The jokes on us evidently...

[fokkhead]

@bostsu2001 haha... God has an awesome sense of humor.

[bostsu2001]

@fokkhead yea... Like cutting someone's brakes as a practical joke... Hilarious.

[ArianneHermida]

Memorizing this must be pretty hard.

[jmpfilms08]

I just discovered this guy a few days ago and i have to say he is very similar to tom Lehrer... i absolutely adore both of them:P

[VenomToothY]

TOM LEHRER FTW!

[pfte1]

I'm not sure which of your sponsors I should look at first. I could Watch Bush's Lies or Lose My Stretchmarks. I'd like to do both. But first I'd like to thank you for another very cool song. Love, Hockey Mama For Obama

[poweredxbyxhope]

Blasphemy! Everyone knows that the only true god is the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

May all Pastafarians disintegrate in the holy pink light of Her Invisibleness!

[kaboomstart]

This is my favorite Roy Zimmernan song.

[pixxispad]

Love the rhyme of forgotten with Akhnaten. Inspired.

[phantomdoodler]

im not sure i would compare him to bob dylan...hes awesome...but different. il leave it at that

[yatahae]

Not Bob Dylan..Tom Lehrer

[lushlars]

i don't know why anyone would kill someone over religion when there are so many better reasons to kill someone.

[edwardwoelke]

HAHA! Damn straight!

[nawlindsguy90]

very cool medium in which to put out such an important message.

[EdJ343]

BETTER THAN DYLAN

[JonO387]

Agreed.

[achievist]

Instead of "better" I'd rather say that Roy is Dylan's rightful heir. He is, in many ways, the Dylan of our generation, and he also has the advantage of being hysterically funny.

Rock on, Roy!

[ladyastralis]

Ah, I love this song. It's so chill, but manages to get across such a great message and be funny at the same time. :D

[djRaydiation]

Good song, aha, regardless of the run-on sentences. It brings back memories of my studies in World Religions and History. =O

[Maxdwolf]

Another great video, but is always seems as if there's a backstory you're cutting off which prevents me from getting some of the gags.

[wildheartmuse]

And you wonder why I am Atheist!!! History and mythology all in one.

[mrl86]

Absolutely terrific song.

[kaljam]

Why doesn't this vid have any honors yet?

[noliketoregister]

Roy really adds a new spin to the concept of enlightenment.

[Trickyhipster]

I subscribe to your channel, but you've been posting at such breakneck speeds that I didn't see this one till a few days after it was posted. Funny, too, because this is definitely the best song from Peacenick that you've put up yet. Guess I'll just have to buy the darned thing now.

[achievist]

The history of faith... in three minutes.

I'd write a comment, Roy, but I can't find enough superlatives.

[meanmama78]

Vote ROY ZIMMERMAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!

[TitanicSinksZOMG]

Nay, VOTE ROY ZIMMERMAN FOR GOD!!!

But seriously, awesome job Roy. You summarized the "history" of the monotheistic faiths in a quick and entertaining matter. Were you born this awesome, or does it require a degree of some sort?

[steve470]

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

[ponyryan]

@meanmama78 You get a thumbs up, but wouldn't that be an awful lot like electing Palin or some other quitter? You know what, I might just do it simply because he's not a politician (yet).

[astardrifter]

@meanmama78 Write in--it works in Alaska!

[tattypatty]

You're the best, Roy.

[gunapie]

your are to much. Now write one on the Mormon, Mountian Meadow Massacre, see wikepedia.

[dead2thewind]

you find me a religion without some massacre or another. religion, faith and any ideal is always founded on blood

[gunapie]

You forgot the mushrooms, heroin, and other drugs that inspired the priest class that made up that stuff. What is more materialistic that the concept of heaven, 72 virgins, etc.

[dead2thewind]

not just religions. all idels even freedom is paid for with the blood of patriots.

[gunapie]

Yes, struggle is the esseence of life. Universalism is the only cure for the narrow dogmas that has given us our various mental diseases.

[dead2thewind]

You believe man is deluded in his ideals? That's your loss.

[RedNifre]

Ever heard of buddhism?

[dead2thewind]

What about buddhism?

[RedNifre]

I am not aware of any massacres commited by buddhism. Are there any?

[dead2thewind]

no, not any massacres but they did kill in protection of the dalelama(sp), fair enough motive but every mas slaughter war or violence in general has a motive that seems just. the mountain side moor massacre was the moromons thinking that it was another camp full of people trying to kill them like so many before.

[poxonyourusername]

Well, maybe not massacres as such, but off the top of my head, let's take Sri Lanka as an example: the ongoing civil war between Buddhists and Hinduists has been long and bloody. (It's not _only_ about religion, to be fair, but it's certainly a major factor in the conflict.) Lots of ugly shit on both sides, and lots and lots of bodies.

[thefakeyeti]

Most religions that believe in reincarnation believe that your current life is about being punished or rewarded for your past lives..

So if someone is dying if disease.. it is their fault..

That is pretty damn bad if you ask me..

[djRaydiation]

Re: dead2thewind

"you find me a religion without some massacre or another."

Well, that's quite simple. Pastafarianism. =D. There has not been a single death in the name of this religion.

Which, Roy, seems like a good topic for a new song. Ahah, just a suggestion.

[dead2thewind]

lol gotta love the FSM, am a member don't you know may his noodly appendage be apon you.

[sshblack]

Ramen my brother.

[Zaning]

It's spelled "RAmen"

Praise to FSM, peace be unto him.

[makunouchi95]

And his noodley appendage. RAmen.

[SiliconBong]

Blessed be his meaty balls.

Long fly the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[LeadSnake]

Yeah, because Omnitheists, Rastafarians, Buddhists, and members of the Church of the Subgenius are all dangerous and have been known to slaughter thousands of people in the name of purity. Or maybe there are plenty of beliefs out there that don't really do anything objectionable. So don't take my Slack, pinks.

[melman]

Pinks?

[karmakayaker]

Could you give an example of Buddhists being dangerous. The Buddhism that is taught on this planet teachers not to harm any living being, not even an ant. Buddhist have never "slaughtered" anything. Your ignorance is understandable and prayed for to end. Good luck!

[moosesgalore]

I hate to go on a Tibet rant here, but the false mysticism practiced in Tibet was used to enslave common farmers as serfs; the monks there oppressed the common people with their twisting of the Buddha's teachings and indeed, had harems and vast amounts of riches and hedonistic pleasures.

All religions, at least non-joke religions, have committed evils using the name of a religion or in the name of a god, whether they were faithful and zealous or liars and manipulators matters not.

[karmakayaker]

False mysticism? Peace kindness, the end of ignorance, patience, love, understanding...is considered by you to be mysticism. No one was ever enslaved in Tibet until the Chinese showed up. You should learn something about what you are talking about before you open your mouth.

I feel so sorry for you and your ignorance..

You are the reason we have problems in this world, plain and simple,

[Oiaku]

"No one was ever enslaved in Tibet until the Chinese showed up."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahaha

[karmakayaker]

Where is your proof of slavery. I've never read of, or heard of slavery in Tibet. They had servents but being a servent is not slavery. Your comment only goes to show your lack of intelligence and ignorance. Good luck with that. Practice some Buddhism and those shortcommings of yours will soon disappear. And no, I won't be childish enough to out a bunch of hahas. I'l just pray for your speedy recovery.

[Oiaku]

Alright, I'll contend that it all depends on your definition of slavery. There was definitely serfdom and oppression, no objective history book will deny this.

Oh, and the whole thing with insulting people who disagree with you? Great way to show off that enlightenment, Siddartha.

[blackjamm]

@karmakayaker You haven't even heard of slavery in Tibet? At the very least, you must have heard Chinese hyperbole on the subject if you've looked into Tibet at all. I'm no friend to China (I lived for a long time in Taiwan), but there's an element of truth to claims of serfdom in pre-1950s Tibet. Serfdom and/or a strongly ascriptive caste structure, neither being all that great to live under, were the norm. Buddhism doesn't make everything right.

[karmakayaker]

Can't handle the truth, huh? I've studied Tibet and Buddhism for several years and I've yet to find a history of slavery. Your OPINIONS are not based on facts, they are just that, your opinions and you are entitled to them. Peace, oh and by the way, your ignorance is showing!!

[bartsucks]

@karmakayaker Tibet wasn't a lovely place to live if you were a peasant, like much of the population was.

[karmakayaker]

You are absolutely right, it wasn't pleasant, they lived a tough life, just scraping to get by.

Why was it refered to as Shangrila if it was all that bad as some of these misinformed luddites believe? Just because they lived as they did for hundreds of years doesn't mean they were brutilistic and slave crazy. I find it amazing the ignorance posted about this here. But what do you expect from ignorant misinformed teenagers, intelligent responses?

[AirborneNik]

pinks?

[lushlars]

yes, definately, pinks!

[bluespower]

thanx man

[vlogsiblings]

That was hillarious AND informative!

-Ikirak

[kaburto1966]

Another favorite!

[lorelaifan]

brilliant

[anmoose]

You should teach Sunday School. LOL

Is my car ready yet?.....

Moosie

[xxc3lld4m4gexx]

...

[CousinoMacul]

I think they skipped this chapter in Sunday school. ;-)

[Mattnesss]

they just worded it in a different way :P

[xorthan]

Is God a jealous God, or is it the people who claim to be his only followers?

[DeletedDelusion]

Exodus 20:5

...for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me......

Yeah, whatever LOL

[LovefromUSSR]

amazing
