  • That father sounds gay. Perhaps he sleeps with young boys in church

  • I knew the americans were fed crap by their media, But this is on a whole new level of what I thought possible

  • i can't believe the hypocrisy of christians hating pagans. the whole filthy religion of tarsus is based on paganism. absolute fucking MORONS!!!

  • Yeah... because the US is a shining example of how to manage money isn't it? What a moron.

  • One wonders inhowfar European-model social security systems qualify as "not caring about people" as opposed to US-style unrestricted capitalism.

  • Um yea ok i think some mental hospital is missing a couple of patients, they should get on to that or people will start to take these guys seriously..... oh wait to late.

  • this is the most retarded thing i have ever seen.

  • you people seem to be attacking the priest a lot, but I think he played it pretty cool. The other guys were absolute idiots.

  • Christmas is a pagen that was modified later on to be a Christian holiday, so I assume that if Americans think pagens are so bad, they will stop celebrating christmas and make it illegal to give presents and put up christmas trees? No!? Well then stop moaning.

  • Human beings are special, eh? I guess gays aren't human beings.

  • He is bloody fuckin moron

  • Europe's paganism? So suddenly there are a bunch of gypsy-like pagans running around Europe causing economic mayhem?

    Get real.

  • It's the religious southern Europe which is suffering from the economic crisis , The secular northern Europe is enjoying one of the top life standard on earth.

  • @Maliksabawi High five :).

  • @Maliksabawi Switzerland suffers a little as well, but still enjoys one of the top life standards on earth as well ;D

  • guys chill. fox news. just dont bother.

  • You can tell a Fox News contributor by the smarmy, shit-eating grin he or she wears whenever not speaking.

  • Garbage!!!

  • biggest buch of BULLSHIT! jesus fucking christ!

  • I caused a stir with a statement, so in the interest of fair and balanced discourse we've brought on someone who wholeheartedly agrees with what I said in a thinly veiled attempt to justify it.

  • @MeBeMat Lol, well said.

  • Where the fuck do these people get these ideas. Father whatever basically disagrees with much of what these people say and then back peddles to somewhat conform to these idiots. Don't judge Americans by these knob-jobs. The US is gigantic compares to most European nations. Ths we can have a large number of people doing stupid shit but not a large proportion. Also, the Vatican is not in the US.

  • I can say whatever I want without backing it up, as long as I, incestually, say it on the faux news network.

  • I am a pagan and I am deeply insulted by this.

  • This is why i am going to stay in europe we use our brains not a book

  • I've never heard so much bullshit in my whole life.

  • This man is too stupid!!!!!!!! I'm mean...he really needs help

  • I think there's a massive misunderstanding in the US regarding European countries regarding religion and politics as homogenous whole. Try comparing southern Europe with northern Europe with all those factors. The only person with a brain in this segment was the Chris Carter guy.

  • What does religion have to do with economics? In a way, no religion improves economic problems, because we don't waste money on tides for churches. The economy is in a bad state because of a snowball effect that started from the US.

    I think they use the term "Pagan" wrong here. It only means non-Christian, nowadays usually polytheist. Pagans are religious. We are atheists. FOX News, never fails to get the facts wrong.

  • this video is a microcosm of what ppl in other countries think of Americans.

  • Perhaps these shitheads need to take a history lesson and observe the centuries of devastation religion brought on their ancestors in Europe during the dark and middle ages.

    These are some stupid fucking people you've got on the TV right there no wonder most of the world is retarded listening to these shidiots. (Made up a new word there, its half shit, half idiot.)

  • There is so much wrong with everything talked about on this... I've never seen a more misinformed 7 minutes of FOX.

  • The European Countries with the most badly fucked up Economies are the most Christian ones so maybe it's the other way round?!! Why work, in heaven you get everything for free!

  • @F3li10 So true! The most secular countries are the better off. Italy, Greece, Spain, all very religious.

  • Europeans are Pagans ? Wtf... They got Christianity long before Americans...

  • 4:45 They should've given this guy more air-time.

  • I have never wanted to kick two people in the head more than these two fucknuts.

  • This has got to be the most vile and incoherent clusterfuck of political propaganda I have ever come across.

  • Wait, did that fuckwad just say that "capitalism is moral?" HAHAHA :D What a bunch of fucking nutjobs.

  • Thank goodness I am a european and dont have to listen to this hypocritical theocratic nonsence that regularly is pumped out by the ridiculous FoxNews. Turning ones back on superstition and embracing the enlightenment, science and secularism is the most liberating thing one can do. Dump the disgusting Catholic Church and the phoney evangelicals where they belong. Its a pity there isnt a hell to send them to.

  • Americans talking about economy? oh the irony

  • america has no place to talk when it comes to economic issues.

  • Father Johnothan should keep his opinions within his expertise such how best to lubricate a young boys ass before sticking a candle into it.

  • I'm sorry but Americas debt is 15.5 trillion which is greater than their GDP. Have fun paying that back in imagination land.

  • I'm pretty sure it's American policies. The reason there's less baby births in europe is because there's no money. Why bother having kids if you're too broke to care for them?

  • this is bullshit, I live in the U.S and we need to get BACK to our foundations of secularism from this mad christian social/political sysmtem- and Im Republican (but if u talked to me id sound more liberal- research jefferson madison especially and a few other founders and you'll find republicanism is liberalism) and people can respect and get along with each other without religion, this priest is a loud mouth secret cock sucking asshole.

  • Comment removed

  • What a load of TURD.

  • Why does religion equate to brain damage in the states? These people have the cumulative intelligence of an eggplant.

  • @ragnarok343 when stance is held with emotinal bias, its defence is emotinal plea.

  • @ragnarok343

    That's an unfair statement to make about > 300 million very diverse people.

  • @DoctorBlissphd You're right it is... I'm not condemning the entire population of the United States... But it is a fair statement to make about the handful of religious people I've met from the states, and the ones I've seen on TV.

    I recognize that not all believers are retarded ass-mouths like the fox news anchors and affiliates, but I haven't had a lot of evidence that the majority aren't mentally deficient or intellectually lazy in some way.

  • Fox news should be called: Fox opinion. They never give any facts, just crazy people with their insane opinions.

  • Very true this is why America will never have any financial problems. :)

  • @Mannequinright hahahahahahahaha are u joking plzzzzz tell me ur joking. Otheriwse that is the single craziest statement ive ever seen.

  • @ruthio1 sarcasm sunshine

  • @Mannequinright lol thank god for that

  • It's because Greece is in EU. LOL Those southern european are literally The South of Europe.

  • assholes the most peaceful countries are Secularism

  • This FOX guy obviously does not even manage to understand the difference between "secularism" and "paganism".

  • @LutzDerLurch Exactly. It's people's right to be able to be religious in their own PERSONAL lives, but the frustrating and maddening thing is when the fundamental right wanna include THEIR beliefs in OUR laws and OUR PUBLIC schools. If they want their kids to believe creationsim or whatever, fine. But, then THEY should pay for it, they shouldn't expect taxpayer money to cater to them! I'm a pagan. But, you don't see me demanding we teach about Lord Zeus in public schools!

  • Sounds like someone doesn't know the difference between socialism and communism.

  • What REALLY pisses me off is how offensively, incorrectly, and flippantly they use the term "pagan." Maybe the new definition for "christian' should be a backwards, Bible-thumping, thinks he knows it all, intolerant ASSHOLE. Oh wait...that IS the definition isn't it? Guess I'll have to use it in that context more. Way to make mortal enemies Fox. I SHIT on you AND your dumbass, "We trust pennies from the sky more than the gov" beliefs. I HATE you! Burn in the hell you claim exists! Fuck you!

  • I LOVE you Chris Carter for going AGAINST this asshole! AND SHUT THE FUCK UP you Pagan-haters yet if I said I hate Christians, you'd all cry "persecution." My faith in humanity is regained seeing all the dislikes for this utterly shitty garbage! And once again, if Europe is secular, YEEEEEESSSSS! Finally I get to leave these backwater, hillbilly, "the earth is 6,000 yrs.old" BULLSHIT and find some SMART people! BYE half right-wing America! Hello Spain!

  • HAHAHA! ANYTHING from Fox is COMPLETELY idiotic, backwater, shitty, and FALSE! And it's NOT paganism Mr. Holier Than Thou Fox-lover, what you're talking about is ATHEISM! Paganism is something else! Get it straight! And YOU worship an INVISIBLE WHITE GUY! WHo the hell are you to say which Gods are real?! But you give me GREAT JOY and HOPE by saying Europe is more secular! Thank the GODS for that! Like "faith" is gonna rain pennies! This channel is IDIOTIC! Glad I'm leaving! FUCK YOU FOX!

  • @ttooulos Americans are not Stupid. there are serious issues with Americas Media-Culture and Educational System (amogst others). You could say many Americans are being kept illinformed, but that is not their fault.

  • @timmot123 STOP INSULTING MY HAMBURGERS!!!!!!  ;)

  • Oh the sweeet sweet smell of Irony....it is the uber-religious US-and-A that are only Days apart from an official Bankrupcy.

    Religulous.............wait for it..........wait.......LOSERS.

  • Comment removed

  • Hahahahahahhahahahhahahahha!

    Ha.

  • Does Americans really think Europe is in any more economic problems than themselves? The US has a lot of debt. Ignorant Fox News newscasters.

  • Is this a fucking wind up ??

  • "When a culture says:"god,we don't want you""

    we don't say that because it would be absurd.

    "you lived in the Vatican.."..."well...Rome..." lol

  • Economically, Europe is way better off than USA, so if Europe is losers , what is America.

  • So this is what Americans get to watch in their spare time? Normally I'd expect anyone with an average IQ to see through this. But they say if you repeat a lie loud and often enough, people will believe it, so I guess that's what Fox is doing on a daily basis. They only had one person who disagreed, he only spoke for a few seconds and the only reason they allowed him there is to appear unbiased, you know, because 4 vs. 0 would be unfair.

  • BTW did anyone notice how they started talking about how secularism was affecting the economy of Europe----then they casually started talking about big government (SOCIALISM) as if its related to secularism----do you see how they do that? ----in the end nobody here in debated AGAINST secularism---they basically had a conversation about how socialism and paganism was effecting Europe....and even then the conversation was dribble....secularism is NOT anti-thiesm...secularist can believe in God

  • Comment removed

  • ahaha the reverend began his argument for God by basing it upon the fact we`re "special"---he basically said: "what makes us more special then animals? GOD!! and WE ARE special---we have to be--- God makes me feel special----and since we are special---therefore God exists!!" BWAHAHAHAHAA

  • Comment removed

  • O you fuckin idiot.... No wonder these morons are on God's network. Secularism is bad and God was a Capitalist. What kind of argument is this?

  • Roman empire= secular - religious- died

    Ottoman empire = secuar - religious- died

    French republic = religious- secular, conqoured half of europe

    British empire = reformation = secular - conqoured the world.

    Religion and politics should only meet moralistically

  • that priest is so gay.... and he doesnt even no it

  • I wonder what the Pope thinks of being called a pagan loser and an earth worshipper.

  • What an embarrassment to hear. So according to them, capitalism equates with morality. That'll teach those single mothers, gays, brown-skinned people, and wost of all, atheists. ......really? Continue to worship a fantasy being and step on your neighbors here on earth.

  • "they worship the earth"..

  • If secularism is the issue, then by that "logic" the middle east should be the most prosperous since they have about 99% of the population that is non-secular.

    FOX "news" never cease to amaze me on their stupidity.

  • paganism and atheism are completely different.... second the fact that Europe's economy is more socialist than capitalist is a big reason why their economy is not growing as fast as ours.... third the fact that in the US we work more hours that Europeans. How the hell can you like religiosity with economic well being, and if you want logic to be based on that than countries such as Angola, Armenia, Barbados, Aruba, the Congo, all countries with over 90% christian pop. should have good economies.

  • Imbecil America was the first secular country in the world. And christianty doesn't play and role in American economy.

  • My head hurts .

  • "European paganism"? Um.. the majority of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Bosnian, Polish, Irish, Belgian, and French people are Catholic.. many Russians, Greeks, Hungarians, Croats, etc are Orthodox.. etc.. "environmentalism" is not a religion. I like the priest here, but the Fox reporter with the accent is insane.

  • @willthacheerleader18 wrong, the mayority of the population are not religious. but the catholic church takes into account as "religious" all people that had make bautism.

    but that's something people make to babies and was very common until 20 years ago. but religious practicioners are decreasing in numbers every year

  • @patataton although church attendace has declined in many european countries, many still go to church. Poland, for example, has the world's highest weekly church attendance.

  • I love how he ain't aware that all the technology surrounding him would never have been invented if not the church's influence had been dissolved. History tells us likewise that religions can't co-exist peacefully if one of them is allowed to power.

  • no. they move forward from a judeo-christian faith.

  • what is the name of this wanker?

  • "I insulted European Atheists. Let's ask an American Christian what he thinks about that."

    Fox fails so much. I'm SO glad I don't live in the USA where such stupidity is actually praised.

  • u r both idiots

  • people that DONT tithe to the church have 10% more buying power so i'd say religion screws up the economy WHAT DOES the church produce????? nothing

  • I'm sorry, I just don't trust a PRIEST to give me a lecture on economy. Or secularism.

    Also, paganism is a belief system (in fact, in is several, if not more) you moron.

  • Europe's economic problems weren't caused by secularism. They were caused by all the poisonous debt mis-sold to them by those virtuous, blessed, god-fearing american capitalists.

  • Many of the countries with the highest percentages of non-religious people (Sweden, Japan) have some of the best education systems and very strong economies.

  • Yes corporate america values it workers very much ;)

  • HAHAHHA PAGAN HAHAHAHAH foolish american ... if it wasnt for us europeans u'd still be speaking with your horses ...

    not to mention that christianity originated on this part of the world ...

    not to mention u are talking our european language ...

    is this guy for real ? and the other one who has lived in the Vatican ... DIDNT U LEARN anything !?

  • hahaha this is so stupid y is this nonsense even on tv? religion all together should be outlawed, problem solved

  • -_- this guys a douche...

  • Fox News is an embarrasment to the United States, Fox News is a Propaganda Network for the Republicans, also how are Europeans Pagans ? Ithought most Were Christian and also arent like 40 percent of Europeans Atheists and Agnostics ? Maybe because Europeans are smarter than Americans ? I just wished that one day Fox News just gets shuts down, what a bunch of stupid assholes and the people that take them serriously are even more stupid. Fuck Fox News

  • Would it not help any economy by simply taxing the churches, mosques, and synogogues? Anyone agree?

  • so you ask a priest "is the economic problems caused by secularism" wtf? and this is what you watch for news?

  • 25 bucks says the priest is a homosexual =3

  • American policies are the cause of the economic troubles in Europe. America is desecularising. Therefore I will conclude that desecularisation is the cause of economic troubles.

    By the way, I'm serious. The American conservatives should show themselves to be the theocratist progressives they are while the secularists should show their conservative nature for once and battle against the revisionism of the theocratists, they have reality by their side so who can defeat them.

  • Having lived in both the US and Europe, I can assure you that the 'secular' values I encounter in Europe are FAR MORE CHRISTIAN than what passes for Christianity in the US. The US has perverted Christianity into a pernicious tool for the rich to hoodwink the poor into supporting a profoundly unjust society, built for the rich on the back of the poor. Jesus as he truly is, is enormously offensive to America, as it truly is.

  • 4:52

    Thank you!!!

  • 1) There's a huge difference between secularism and paganism 2) A state that self-consciously avoids promoting one religion over another is, in my opinion, more Christian than a state that calls people who don't believe what I believe 'pagans'. Sheesh! 3) Anyone who promotes Christianity as a religion that will make anyone or any culture wealthy/prosperous is totally unclear on the concept. I went to Div School, and these people are completely clueless bigots.

  • Varney has gone mad! Jonathan Morris is a Catholic poof anyway. I think a compromise between social approaches and capitalistic approaches may be the answer. I disagree that I have to believe in a conceptual entity to me moral. That's an insult to me, but then Morris is a poof so what the hell.

  • Primitive idiots

  • The man's an idiot,

  • This man bears all the hallmarks of a troll: he comes from a country where the monarch is the head of the national church, and claims that Europe is pagan? And equating paganism with secularism is equally moronic, especially for a man who studied at LSE. These idiotic claims seem designed to create controversy, which in turn creates ratings.

  • Thanks for posting this bull****! I urgently needed a good laugh!

    Geez, are these guys from FOX running out of news? Where do they get these people from...

  • Look at ur own country fox fools. Haha don't be stupid plz, the crisis began in the US. Forgot that part, huh? And the US is so religious how do u ppl explain this? And btw the piigs countries in Europe who have the biggest economic problems are the most religious countries within Europe. Whooops.. Germany, Holland and Scandinavian countries are the most secular and have the smallest problems. So if u can link religion to economy in some way,you should come to the opposite conclusion.

  • If Europe was a single nation, it'd be greater than the USA.

  • it's funny that they talk about european economical problems, considering what shape the US is in.

    at the moment europe is far better off than the US.

    so it may should be called "christian losers"

  • Epic fail

  • dont sit around and wait for God to help you when your health declines, your government s helping your sorry selves by making it available!

  • 1:47 europe hasen't retreated from the judeo christian ethics. it has left it behind and moved forward :D

  • How can this many people achieve their salary knowing the definition of a word as common as 'pagan' so little as to equate with the word 'secular'?

  • Necons talking about Europe. Here's an idea. Return the Statue of Liberty, than we'll talk.

  • All of these people are absolute idiots. Impossible to believe that this even makes it on the air much less passes as "news". Astonishing!

  • So I guess the US economy is booming and always has because there are so many Christians in US.

  • Here's from Europe to Fox News: you religious inbred wankers pay up those trillions of dollars you owe and then start preaching us on financial matters

  • Hahahahahahaahahahaha where did this fcking crisis come from????? The USA isn't it? Lol don't be stupid Fox, as if u don't have ur economic problems to solve, don't be ignorant. How can it be that the least developped nation's are the most religious? If secularism is immoral, can anyone explain why the crime rate is higher in the USA than in Sweden and yet be much more religious? The stats don't agree with this silly statements. And I don't need fear of hell to be moral.

  • DOES THIS MAN KNOW WHAT PAGANISM IS?! DUDE!

    I'm sorry but this man is a disgrace, and I'm a Christian.

  • Yes, we Europeans are big SCARY pagans. Be Afraid!

  • @wouter1411 No, you Europeans need to control your irratoinal athiests because they're running a muck.

  • @jshjamaar And you my dear Sir, need to check your spelling.

  • I rather like how johnny there avoided answering the question he was being asked. One of these people still have an ounce of dignity bet you can't guess who.

  • Fox news... well that should be insult enough..

  • What a stupid priest, making sure that companies and corporations have to give healtcare coverage to 40 million Americans ist NOT MORAL. I live in the heart of Europe(Austria) where everybody has mandated healthcoverage, and i have to say, if that is pagan thing to do, than long live the paganism. But its not, its just economically sound to have your people insured cause they stay healthy longer and are more productive.

  • Healthcare from Faith and Belief?? Oh my god, I'm speechless. No wonder American society is in such a mess with loonies like this.

  • It's sad that these people can't or don't care to tell the difference between secularism, paganism and patheism (where "god" and the sacredness of nature are more connected.)

  • the comment about health care moving away from god just about tops the cake for me.Anyone got a barf bag?

  • lmao this is just too funny:P

  • I am an atheist...however, this is not Christianity but worshipping of the golden calf!

    They justify their belief system by the assumption it was useful. Useful not for greater good, but for the "economy", for greed and money.

    They don't care about the sick, but profits. They do not value life, but money.

    Read Revelations! In the Bible using God as legitimation for evil, immoral greed is even mentioned. [Babylon was smashed, everyone killed..God does not like it^^]

  • Please remind me. How many billions of dollars do you Christ-fearing Americans owe China?

  • How can this guy think what he's saying is serious?

  • @ThaGMan51 The priest knew what he was going up against that's why he felt he had to repeat himself

  • wow

  • Both these guys are fuck wits. So now God supports the economies of the world!?

    It's funny how the US is one of the greediest / capitalist nations on earth, and is mostly Christian! If Jesus really did come back he'd kick ass, especially at the US!

  • Oh, and obviously the entire argument is absolutely ridiculous and awkward. The wealthiest countries per capita are in Europe, and they are also the most secular. In addition some of the most religious countries are in Europe, including the Vatican, Greece (greek orthodox anyone), etcetc.

    Countries that are morally bankrupt are typically religious, Iran etc...

    Exhausting stupidity.

  • This must be the absolutely most retarded clip I have ever seen.. Enjoyable how you set up a healthy debate with 4 ppl on the same side...

  • why the fuck are they asking a clergyman about economics? What the hell are his qualifications to speak on this topic.

  • Oh dear! What is wrong with USA? Relying on religion to run the world doesn't work.

    Everyone in power knows the bible is wrong! Can't help it it is wrong.

    If 2+2=5 on the first page of a maths book all the rest is wrong. ditto bible.

    The 'Adam & Eve ' bit is wrong, humans are not related to A&E , science proves it . The first page of this text book for life is' wrong.'

    The sooner religion is taken out of politics the better. I despair for the USA if it is relying on the God of the Bible.

  • @JanetteHeffernan This clip makes Americans seem completely thick. I'm hoping these guys are in the minority. Hail to the intelligent free-thinking Americans out there :)

  • Being non religous gives you a wider view on the world instead on focusing on one point

  • what the....

    Guys please tell me this is fake oO

  • @TheStrayCross Sadly it is not.

  • "this secularism that I call paganism" apparently he doesn't own a dictionary.

  • Hahahahhhahha!

    Oh man, guys. I have never laughted so hard. I mean, this pure satirical gold.

    I mean, this is a joke right?

    RIGHT?

  • what the fuck is this idiot talking about pagans for, not only that america is totally fuckd economy as well so whats this bitch onnnnn

  • AIAIA IT BURNS IT BURNS US. IT FREEZE EVIL REPUBLICAS MADE IT. TAKE IT AWAY!!

  • fox news, getting more evil and stypid everyday.

  • Is this show targeted for 2 year olds?

  • Archie Bunker just called, Fox News, he wants his ignorant, bigoted comments back.

  • Wow... just... wow. I mean how on earth do even begin to respond to this? I think you just have to get up from the table, shaking your head and not deigning to even participate. I really do think that everyone, esp other media, just need to start ignoring the idiots of this world.

  • Do you think Father Jonathan is Gay? Not that there is anything wrong with being gay.

  • Look at the countries that are the worst off in Europe; Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain. Those are five of the top 8 most religious countries in the European Union. The countries doing ok economically; the Scandinavians, the Netherlands and Germany are less religious.

  • Jesus was a damn socialist, I mean, can you remember how Jesus forced his powers upon the sick and healed them without even thinking that they might have other healthcare plans?? What did Jesus think, while shoving health down their throats?

  • @Bombur86 Jesus was sent by God, not the government, and didn't forcibly charge everyone to heal people.
