S4E3: And Finally, Politics (Interview with Sean Faircloth)

[bodeezy]

When I was growing up in my catholic family, my mom & dad didn't like atheists...they were considered devil worshippers. Looking back on it I realize that my parents were just ignorant, as was I. All of the kids in the neighborhood were at least wary in not scared of those people & gave them a wide berth.

I wish I had talked to them back then. It might not have taken me until 30 before I became a reasonable person that isn't afraid of a sky master.

Who needs religion when you have Minecraft?

Notch Bless.

"Recently discovered Minecraft..." --

You will never sleep again.

[Tonnredein]

46:38 He totally said hard on!... That's the only thing I remember about Sean's interview, and I watched it twice. I wonder what that says about me?

[samsroomie]

Watch out for the Creepers!

[FangFiftyFive]

...is that fighting-robot Charlie Brown on your tshirt? AWESOME!

[mikegillis]

@FangFiftyFive Yes, that is Jason Yungbluth's Weapon Brown. It's a web comic where a heavily armed cyborg Charlie Brown does battle with the denizens of a post-apocalyptic waste-land, all of whom are thinly disguised Sunday comics characters like Marmaduke, Blondie and Ziggy.

It's pure awesome. Google it.

[Kargoneth]

Uh oh, Sam's discovered Mindcrack.

In more amusing news, the rapture happens 4 days before my birthday.

Regarding the pilot thing: if the plane takes off, there is a pilot, if it doesn't, the pilot might be absent.

Cheers

@entwood There is video of Atheistic Secular Obama presenting in the senate and bashing Xtian based morality.

[waksibra]

Bill Maher is not a libertarian lol. He's a stupid but sometimes funny comedian.

[KentonForshee]

The 21st of May isn't dead center between the solstice and the equinox. The 5th of May is the cross quarter not the 21st. So he can't even use that as a reference.

[kalvric]

I was playing minecraft while watching this :D

[entwood]

I'm proud that Australia has it's first openly atheist Prime Minister. Also proud she is our first female one. Even though I disagree with some of her stances, it's a healthy sign for our country that she is there.

I wonder if things were a little more secular there, your first black President would be able to drop the religious baggage? I really think that dude is too cool to buy it in reality.

[craigdavid00]

@entwood "I'm proud that Australia has it's first openly atheist Prime Minister." Thank you for pointing that out. I was not aware of it until now.

[Pilaf1984]

@entwood Are you proud that your first atheist prime minister is a homophobic twat? I mean it's great she's a freethinker and all but that doesn't make you a good person automatically.

[mikegillis]

@Pilaf1984 Indeed. This cements my notion at the pointlessness of an atheist political party, because agreeing with someone that gods don't exist doesn't mean I'll agree with any of their other stances. We're too politically diverse.

[entwood]

@Pilaf1984 No I'm not. I'm very disappointed and confused by her stance on gay marriage and especially the reasons she cites for taking that position.

[excsa62]

@entwood Austaralia soon will become a islamic country..inshallah !50 percent of australians are already a muslims ok!

[entwood]

@excsa62 Hello troll. *waves*

[aido92]

@excsa62 2006 Australia census listed religious affiliation. Christian denominations 63.9%, No religion 18.7%, Islam 1.7%, Other non-christian 3.9%, Unspecified 11.9%. But hey, never let facts get in the way of a good fantasy.........

[entwood]

I can't stand those stupid bells at the start so I mute the first thirty seconds. I love looking at it though. It's like watching a serious crew in mission control during a moonshot countdown. :) 

[supleted]

I seriously cannot believe my ears when they said minecraft. I JUST finished playing minecraft and I was thinking about minecraft too!

[SinnFein4ever]

23:30-23:35

I object to all this sex on television.

I mean, I keep falling off.

;)



[doaftheloaf]

@SinnFein4ever you need a television with more surface area on top, obviously.

[SinnFein4ever]

@doaftheloaf

You're probbably right!

:D

[jakehm]

MIIIIIIIIIINECRAAAAAAAAAFT!!!!­!!!!!

[Morkindie]

I doubt that Harrold Camping could be sued for fraud or misleading anyone.

Reason being that such a precedent would open up the entire religious community.
