  • Wait a minute. So god is never on our side, which means he never aids us, yet we should thank him when we do something well? How does that make sense. Herp a derp!

  • I am so fucking tired of father morris!!!

  • What if the voice tells you to kill everyone in the neighboring state? Except for their virgin females of course, those are yours to take for your own pleasure.

    No, no, I kid... that's obviously god, going by president.

  • what if that voice was to tell you to kill your only son?

  • This Priest is a disgrace. He cannot answer a serious question. Just dismisses it with childish behaviour.

  • What a stupid man...

  • "He is".....well there you go, that is a good enough answer for me....though I only made it to the second grade so....

  • The Bible Is chuck full of Things that go against human nature, at least by my standards. what the fuck?

  • >laugh at legit question as if it was ridiculous

    >make some poor excuse of an answer and dismiss the essence of the question entirely

    >sell it as knowledge

  • Coked up preist still don't make no sense.

  • religion and religous talk is pretending to know things that u dont know ,

  • The part about women pastors was the most sexist thing I've seen broadcasted by Fox.

  • Father knows best how to dodge questions.

  • father is a good looking moron

  • @loly1969 He's smarter than you.

  • There's a voice in my head telling me to do good things... I call it my conscious. Fecking theists.

  • @boosie007666 The father of lies got to you.

  • You can tell the father is a very smart guy

  • What hypcricy. The bible tells people to harm others in many passages, including in the NT.

  • Father knows best? hmmm...

    Father: Pull down your pants son.

  • Extraordinary stupidity from the priest.

  • A few things:

    1) Sooo...when god told abraham to sacrifice issac, that wasn't against one's neighbour?

    2) If god was the origin of all matter, but we find scientific proof of the origin of all matter, shoud it still be called god?

    3) If god exists and the stories are true, aren't they history?

    4) Thinking god allowed your touchdown instead of curing AIDs is idiocy.

    5) I'd love someone to explain what makes holy water holy. Why aren't we all drinking it if it's holy?

    I love Red Eye!

  • @pinkfloydfan417 Water is made holy by the priest's prayers

  • @littlemary86 Why are priest's prayers more special than ours?

  • @littlemary86 Well, generally speaking it's not that priest's prayers are more special than ours. But holy water is a sacramental, for that it is required a blessing and a formula that only a priest can say because priesthood is a sacrament.

  • i would say look at the bible as a literal book, ..... if its too hard to believe the contents within the book, then i would ask by what means do you limit reality?

  • Does this priest ever really answer any questions?

  • What a complete cunting moron ...!!

  • 1. Basically he says, if you don’t feel like it, don’t do it. Proving subjective morality. God is just a personal invention. Not an existing being.

    2. He is simple? In that case we are EXTREMELY simple. If you still wanna argue that we are complex, I guess we are better than God. :)

    3. So Jesus did not die for us, and Eve never committed original sin. Good. But in that case. What is the bible? Your subjective take on it? Thanks again. :)

  • I'd much rather it be the inner conscious of a human being or people believing its just themselves then thinking some moral dictator from another universe or we/ is whispering in their brain. I think it takes away from humans being humane on their own accord. I hear a voice telling me not to do stuff and I know its me cause its the smarter and nicer thing to do. religions are so ridiculous. that preacher has been smoking meth.

  • By the priest's logic, Abraham was crazy when he heard what he thought to be God telling him to kill his son, since murdering your Son is BAD!

  • Is this a priest or a game show host?

  • It is really much simpler than father has said.

    The answer is:

    If you hear ANY voices in your head, no matter what they say, you ARE halucinating. And if you believe there even is a god, you also need treatment, or a total immersion trainning on proper reasoning!

  • God only commands goodness. What like telling Abraham to kill his own child? Or I suppose the other hundreds of atrocities commanded by God.

    God is infinite simplicity. The type of all knowing, all powerful, conscious, beyond our understanding, capable of creating a divine plan, infinite simplicity.

    This man bothers me.

  • 2:37 - absolutely pathetic answer.

  • 4:50 if it weren't for god we would have colonized planets by now

  • just burned 100 brain cells watching this ...

    fox news should be renamed moron news or church news

    same thing either

  • i like how they laugh the whole time to move your attention from the obvious logical fallacies this idiot is spewing out

  • This is what passes for wit on FauxNews.

    So he's admitting that God is just a name you stick on what we don't know.

    So we should treat women like they're almost human, huh?

    Wow, what a bunch of morons.

  • I don't know if I should take this seriously or not..... lol

  • 'If it goes against human nature."

    Ok...like making a burnt offering of your only (Ishmail?) longed for son Isaac?

    That goes against human nature.

    "If it goes against your neighbour."

    Killing ALL the Midianites (insert tribe here), who were doing nothing but living peaceably in their own land. And the Sons of Israel genocide them because they needed lebensraum and they believed god told them too.

    Father knows fuck all I think.

    The only voices in my head are my own. And we are legion.

    Peace

  • @Teloculos but some christians doesnt even read the old testament.

    I know, even though Jesus did.

  • @Teloculos he also say, dont read the bible as it is a science or histoyr book.

    thats mean some parts are allegorical and im sure you know what that means.

  • @Teloculos we do not forgive

  • lol, these people r complete morons

  • Does this guy ever answer questions? Or is he complete 24/7 b.s.?

  • haha i think he is 24/7 b.s

  • So when God told Abraham to sacrifice his son, he shouldn't have tried it because it wasn't really God?

    This guy is a joke.

  • Wow...just wow.

  • What a ridiculous, un-answering answer...

  • What the fuck is this guy talking about? I don't think he even knows.

  • father catholic wanker...

  • That "Father" makes me wanna throw up.

  • Killing your own son goes against human reason, but that didn't stop Abraham from listening to God when he was commanded to kill his own son, Isaac. I guess you should just not listen to God at all - ever.

  • @patricknelson That's the very first example I thought of when he said you shouldn't listen to voices that ask you to do unusual things. So why did Abraham listen to the voices that told him to sacrifice his son?

  • "If it goes against human reason..."

    Ok, he just admitted that we don't need god, all we need is reason. The Fox News theocrats score another point for atheism.

  • Idiot preacher

  • oh but didnt god tell abraham to kill his own son? case closed

  • HAHAHAHA... Him Jonathan is actually pretty clever...

    Clean water is clean - not because it's blessed....

    if only he would use that logic everywhere else :-D

  • So... if your name is Abraham... and voices say you should sacrifice your son... its NOT God ???

  • I'm embarrassed to be an American.

  • @worldsworstjukebox Why do you care if your relationship with the Father of Lies is so fulfilling?

  • smh at this fuckery

  • Remember when god told Abraham to kill his son?

    Thats just crazy

  • It's amazing how often apologetics make apologetics look bad....

  • Same old empty rhetoric.

    Fortunately it rings hollower still with every passing year.

  • So, this was not Yahweh speaking to Abraham, telling him to sacrifice his son Isaac?

    If Morris gets excommunicated by the evil Catholic überparents in the near future, I would not be suprised.

  • father doesn't know anything

    would be a more accurate title for the segment

  • sooo, father here is saying that if you hear voices just use your own judgment to tell if it's god or not........ wow.........

    I'm sure he thinks all those parents who murdered their own children because "god told them too" then?

  • sounds like he is arguing for Deism

  • "if it goes against human reason". i wonder how he would describe the god of the old testament?!?! a god who spoke to abraham and told him to kill his son. or god instructing noting less then genocide, rape, slavery, etc all throughout the bible.

  • those were pretty hard questions. i'm kind of surprised fox would air anything that might actually make their viewers think like that. and i almost feel sorry for that priest, seems like he was getting taken the piss out of at one point.

  • Fuck all of you stupid shallow people!

    This is so stupid and arrogant!

    Can we get somebody with a soul on here!

    peace

  • "If it goes against human reason" So humans need morality in order to make the judgement if it is god or not? So if human morality says that it is not good, then it is not from god, but when it's good then it's from god? That means that humans don't need god to know right from wrong, so there is no reason to have a god. Since you already need to know if it's good or not befóre you can say that it is from god.

    He just prooved god is human imagination.

  • Father knows how to sidestep questions.

  • It really makes me sick to think that people are listening to this guy and thinking that he is anything other than completely full of shit.

  • **SPOILERS**

    father Jonathan does not know best.

    **SPOILERS**

  • Christopher Hitchins should host this show and blow everyone out of the water.

  • Hah! I thought precisely the same thing. Though, I doubt they would ever allow someone with an opposing viewpoint, and the intelligence to back it up, come on to talk with the priest.

    Any knowledgable person with debate experience would be quite capable of getting a, "well... god works in mysterious ways." Non-answer from this guy. His dumb explanations for these questions are said confidently, with complete ignorance for the fact that they've all been thoroughly refuted many times.

  • Right on! No doubt you have a lot more shit to put up with in the States than in England where we don't tolerate hard-line religious nut-jobs.

    If you haven't seen the Hitchins - Sean Hannity debate - watch it! Hitchins tears him apart.

  • @lanceawatt I agree. Hitchins would've made everyone cry in the studio within 5 seconds flat, I'm sure =P Father dudeness evades every question. And no one keeps asking to be specific, they just accepted everything.

  • lol... "Father dudeness"

    Now that's classic!

    Though I hate to be like them, and have a circle of, "Yes, I agree" 's... I must say, I agree with your statement. Hitchens would be raising Kleenex's stock within moments of entering this studio.

  • @IanBillings00 With his bottle of Whiskey and pack of cigarettes he is like the antichrist incarnated =P

  • Unbelievably retarded

  • if god was real "which he isnt" he wouldnt like how lightly there taking all of this. making fun and laughing.

  • Pastor knows diddlysquat!

  • We will also be deeply disappointed by the many contradictions in the bible.

  • He don't answer anything!

  • all bullshit

  • Wait, is this a real show that airs on FOX? I'm not from or live in the USA.

  • That 30 year old virgin with no kids, no wife and doesn't pay taxes needs to STFU. Wonder how a Imam would fare on this show.

  • Man this is such delusional drivel.

  • I absolutely despise the host of this show. He is the absolutely most disgusting person on TV asides from Pat Robertson, and people scamming money from the lonely/credulous. Oh wait, Father John is a combination of both of those...

    The innuendo about people asking these types of questions being robots is sickening. The one saying "..it must be living a good life, I can't" is clearly implying the questioner is an immoral person. Subliminally trying to discourage critical thinking?.. A new low.

  • he said "it must be living the good life-I kid."

    So much for your conspiracy theory.

  • "must be the good living", rather

    Same sentiment though. And I don't think the robot thing is implying anything. Someone probably was just having fun with the 3-d animation and then ran out of time and half-assed it with a black-and-white filter and Microsoft Sam.

  • Ahh, I was listening on my laptop in the lab, so I clearly heard it wrong.

    I have drawn the same conclusion before, though. I do think they could have much more easily, on a smaller budget, have just said the questions were from "Jimbob in Kansas" and skipped they robot thing. They are quite overtly trying to imply these questions are coming from people who should be seen in an ill light. It is still underminding the idea of free inquiry, and asking questions critical of the bible.

  • 4:45

    lol that is the most painful thing about watching football for me lol

  • if the voices tell you to burn things in hate, ignore it.

    If the voices tell you to burn things out of love and desire to help, it's Jesus.

  • It seems that Father never heard of Higgs particle.

  • He's clearly not heard of the biblical story of Abraham being commanded to kill his son. He also thinks complexity comes from simplicity, which is the opposite of what creationists think. Although, being a catholic, he is forced to accept the truth of evolution by an infallible pope.

  • So if it is against "human reasoning", it is crazy talk. Therefore, religion is crazy talk.

  • Dear full of shit father,

    What made God?

  • Father knows best...Three words which little boys around the world associate with a sore bottom. Nice title.

  • 4:35

    I actually liked this answer. He fully (whether consciously or not) implies that prayer does absolutely nothing. Guess what? Praying for your favorite sports team does nothing more than praying for a dying relative! You're totally right, god ISN'T rooting for anyone! Good job boy fucker!

  • Does Father Jonathan remind anyone else of Geerup?

  • When an athlete thanks god for a touchdown, or an actor thanks god for winning award, what they are actually saying is, "Thank you, god, for making ME so much better than everyone else!"

  • So, if you hear a voice that says it's god, just take it at it's word, you're not crazy at all.

  • So the bible is fictitious, I think I might go worship 1984 as away to make a better person, maybe I could be part of crew in room 101, or I can pray to the book or George Orwell to make Earth a dystopia.

  • I worship Alice in Wonderland. I buy a new copy of the books every 2 weeks since I end up giving them to the friends who ask me for them.

  • It's a real pain in the ass to get a new copy every two weeks, but I'm sure the almighty George Orwell is happy with my deeds of conversion

  • haha, good=god, bad=yourself. The basic fallacy that poisons all religious.

  • I think any seriously religious person should make sure that they never drink water that hasn't been purified by both scientifically established processes and "God's representatives" in the church. I mean, if you get sick when neither process has been been used or if only the non-scientific method has been used, then you are just asking for trouble, right?

  • Wow! So God always backs a winner! If I was God it'd make total sense to do that. If somebody makes a touchdown and thanks God for it then God must have helped him. I pity all those fools that begged God for a touchdown before they had made one and then failed to do so. I guess all us believers should be sure to never ask God for any favors but thank him when things go our way. After all, he works in non-so-mysterious ways!

  • Comment removed

  • Of course! Reading the Bible as a literal history and science book is nonsense. It's obvious that God is subject to selective amnesia just like the rest of us non-omnipotent beings. Instead, I look to the Bible as purely a moral guidebook. That's why I have no problem beating my slaves within reason. I mean, if they can still get up after 3 days, what's the big deal?

  • This almost literally made me sick.Especially the fact that people take these guys seriously.This stupid little shit doesnt even make an honest attempt at an answer..

  • the fact that people actually perceive the world around them the way that this priest does... frightens me immensely.

  • Does the fact that our understanding of the universe require a complex answer whereas God's own existence does not? Thanks for the playschool non-answer, Father! I always appreciate it when informational questions are answered by glib yes/no answers. It makes things so much easier to understand! To further enhance our understanding of the universe I suggest we throw out the following words; what, where, when, which, who, why, and how. Ahhhhh, much better.

  • Goes against human reason, calling for greater generosity. Okay, got it. So if God says, "Kill your son" or "Kill every last man. woman, child and livestock" that would obviously not be God, right? Or does that fall under "God works in mysterious ways"? Hmm. I'm still confused.

  • Sooooooooooooo much bullshit

  • This is on Fox News?

  • 5:55 wow that was sexist

  • Comment removed

  • yea right, u still need to double check whether it is really god talking to u, which means ur brain is still making the ultimate and final judgment before u do sth. So screw the voices in ur head, whether it is god's or ronald mcdonald's, u are the one in charge of all ur actions and u must take full responsibility for it.

  • And people actually watch this?

  • robots asking questions LOL i guess the questions are made up

  • 1:20

    ...Like being ordered by god to kill your own son, then cut part of his penis off?

  • 1. Didn't the message of loving thy neighbor etcetera come from someone hearing the voice of God in the first place? And if so, how could that person know the differance between hallucination and the voice of God? For all we know, "love thy neigbor" could well be the Devils message.

    2. He clearly didn't get that question right, or just didn't bother.

    3. So it's not science, it's not a history book. Kind of narrows it down to what we call "fantasy".

    They seem so nice though, so who cares.

  • Of course it's god a sportsman should thank(NB.ironic sarcasm being applied). Ignore the physiotherapist that got you thru your knee injury. Ignore your teammates contribution. Ignore the managers supportiveness/provocations. Ignore the fans cheering you on......................... the invisible friend in the sky did it! lol

  • This is just... wow... It's hard to imagine that the show is for real.

  • This is excruciatingly embarrassing. The laughter is so forced. Does anyone actually watch this show? I actually felt sorry for these people.

  • "Don't read the bible as a history book and don;t read the bible as a science book".

    Probably the only sensible thing he's said in the entire debate!

  • What about the voices in Abraham's head. Wasn't Abraham ordered "by god" to kill his son?

    That, to me, seems like an immoral suggestion of god, as well as a dangerous precedent. The kind of precedent that might lead to a mother drowning her children in a bathtub, while waiting for a follow up word from god, instead of seeking much needed psychological help.

  • the robot wasn't even funny

  • Oh yeah, only the good stuff is God talking, because its not like God enjoys murder and bloodshed or anything. And the word of God is not accurate, historically or scientific?? What makes people think anything else in there is right??

  • I have found I enjoy watching these, it's one of my favourite comdey shows....I still can't believe it's not tongue in cheek though.

    Seriously, is this for real? This guy must be turning so many away from the faith...

  • I had to stop watching that right away. I'm so sick of this. So whats the difference from when "God" told people to do all kind of sick and demented things in the bible up until now. Did "God" have a change of heart and now it's only Satan talking to us? A Lady kills her children in the name of god and no one should ever have the right to convict her of a crime unless they are willing to take all the bibles and Christianity and gods and put them where they belong, fiction.

  • Father Johnathan has six brothers and sisters. In a family like that, no wonder he decided to search for his lost significance and found it in God. Glad I'm the only child in the family then.

  • These Fox News segments with "Fox and Friends" are not funny, amusing, enlightening, informative, logical, rational, or even sexually appealing. What are they?

    PURE AND UTTER USELESS GARBAGE

    Fox is the worst News company in the world, outside of extreme religious propaganda documentation distributed to youth in order to spawn killers and theocracy.

  • I'd estimate "father" has an IQ of about 90.

  • InThelmageofDNA A little bit over the average christian, then?: )

  • god told abraham to kill his son issac, I guess he wasn't crazy. Again how is this NEWS? I thought it was called Fox News for a reason. You conservatives can have this nonsense I'll stick with the libs at least they don't have a gay guy posing as a priest and post it as news. Not that there is anything wrong with gays I just don't like bullshitters

  • What a dumbass.

  • This guy outta play dodgeball he is an expert. Also saw him answer in previous spots on this show he loves to pass the buck.

    He NEVER answers a question lol.

  • God IS NOT extreme simplicity. Mr. Morris is extreme simplicity.

  • If it goes against human reason? Like... Genocide? Which the bible endorses.

    God is simplicity? All powerful. All knowing. Simple? The stupid hurts.

    God allows us to... What? Be? So, he gets all the credit for the athlete's hard work... But none of the blame for the athlete who comes up short?

  • The priest was talking about "going against your reason"!!! Listen to yourself, Father John!

  • I just realized faux news has a priest as part of their news team! I mean i always knew they were christian fanboys, but this is pretty outlandish. I guess i just finally realized that he's not just some priest they interviewed, but that he's a big part of their...'news' thing theyve got goin on there.

  • This religious whore has such a frequent appearance on this show that they have graphics and bass music for him!!!

    What would Jesus think?

  • what a load of lousy answers

  • the good father says bless poison before drinking it and you'll be ok. if only that were true, think of how much a person would save in medical bills eh?

  • Is this guy an actor? He reminds me of someone that would be on the Jerry Springershow like the guy that puts on the fake weddings.

  • why the FUCK do they make such a big deal about the goddamn robots that aren't robots, they're animations.... soooo STUPID

  • 2:04

  • this answers all my questions. im a believer now, NOT!

  • he doesnt answer any question

    hey just like all christians

  • Thank you god for giving me more talent than the other team!

  • @yo1o2eggs

    Please elaborate?

  • It's in reference to the football question that they asked the priest.

  • I think Father Jonathan DOES know about "snooky."

  • its hard to believe this is for real.

  • marvincontendo, yea, it's hard to believe that Fox would allow its reputation to be finally and utterly destroyed beyond any possibility of repair by hosting this garbage.

  • this guy is always so stupid. He represents the majority of christians. Ones that don't read or understand the bible.

  • Father knows best? Not this one!

  • If you are told to sacrifice your child then its voices
