Will Swenson, Atheist?

[MrBobanda]

why is it that some people have nothing to do with there lives they have to do this crap

[GoofyMcWanker]

DUN Dun dunnn......he sure is purdy, though.

[GibsonLord1]

this is bullshit

[martinlrodgers]

Gotta love the evangelion music used in the background...

[OnlineNephi]

The puppies were kind of cool.

[TheRdw1206]

i thought it was funny

[AndNilsProd]

I kind of like it.

[sterling32157]

How can anyone seriously ask if this is a joke? Did you not see the Amazon review and the dogs?

[Isabella66Gracen]

It is a fact that Will Swenson is referred to as a "former mormon" in his bios (which doesn't exactly equal athieism)

. But honestly, this video is beyond bizarre.

[ugotj00d916]

@Isabella66Gracen no its not cunt

[joshkirn1]

This is supposed to be funny, right? Because about halfway through I realized it was pointless and started laughing and enjoying the sheer stupidity of it. Bravo

[diljopop]

May possibly be the biggest waste of time in my life

[nellicle]

Willswensonatheist, crazy? I think so...

Seriously, focus on your own life. Go listen to some beautiful music, read a book or go for a walk and appreciate the flowers. Anything. Just put the internet down and leave it well alone...

[DMLoll]

wow... waist my time much?

[ugotj00d916]

@DMLoll no it was funny idiot

[flowerpowermans1]

this is so stupid,,,dumbest video i ever watched and its not even funny

[VahnGali]

The dog at 1:32 looks super evil...

[Babystarlight17]

........ok.....????

weird

[thatduffgirl]

I laughed. That is what we were supposed to do, right????

Seriously, I am embarrassed that I watched this, I blame the car wreck on the side of the road phenomenon.

[michellemabelle7]

wow, this video has definitely opened my eyes to Will Swenson's atheist agenda.

.....

hehe just kidding. this is fucking weird!

[guitaura]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN

THE MUSIC

KSDJSDUHSDW WWTTFFF

[LTHSFanpire]

seriously? WHO CARES if hes atheist, seriously its his belief why is it such a pressing issue

[nicolelectric]

...I am so confused right now. What the hell did I just watch?!

[shuckslbj]

I'm not surprised that no one saw that this was satirical. Come on - the music...

[niggernack]

Hilarious

[TheWinterWaterSong]

a thoughtful inquiry?? Uhh, sounds like a horror movie or something. What makes you think that he's an athiest???

[violetcloud]

LOL WHAAAAAAT?????

oh man this video is sooo bad. im literally crying from laughter

WHAT'S THE POINT? whaaaaat?~

ROFLLLL

[settypatch]

No comment on his character one way or the other here, BUT I NEVER bought WIll as a believing Mormon. NEVER!

[burpsrus]

Well....that was ...ummmm....ahhh...that was...what is the word I'm looking for?... Oh yeah, POINTLESS!!!! Although, the puppies were super cute. I just got a new puppy and she is cuter, but they are still pretty dang cute. I have to agree with Will Swenson. You really have way too much time on your hands. Imagine if you used that time for something productive......hmmmm.....oh the possibilities.

[free2bekirk]

when we observe the era in which we are living in, sometimes we often ask the question 'is the LAST MESSENGER which is described in the New Testament who is to teach us all things concerning the understanding and THE RAPTURE of CHRIST on the Earth with us today?

[TechGeek1213]

Oh God! You being a non-theist just makes you fucking hotter.  Whew! I'm verklempt.

[free2bekirk]

what is the POINT or the PRIVILEGE for any person to serve a mission just to dismiss our belief in CHRIST, that is the problem we witness today we will announce Jesus with our lips and deny Christ through our Life Style that is the problem with religion today the Apostles taught this to the Congregation of the Corinthians

[rmutt4]

uh...getting past childhood brainwashing is, like, a good thing.

I love the fact that the indoctrinated think atheist is a bad word. how sad.

[Nineve14]

lol what the hell did i just watch??

[notthatbasic]

Who cares?

[notso11]

Here's the story, Will Swenson was born & raised Mormon, served a mission for the Mormon Church in the Guayaquil Ecuador North Mission from 1992 to 1994. He attended BYU after his mission. He no longer is an "active" mormon. I know this because I was down in Ecuador with him & I was attending BYU when he returned and attended too. I've known him since 92 and he is one of the most smug, stuck on himself individuals I ever met. I'm not surprised he's left his wife & the Mormon Church. Loser

[underpantssquirrel]

You have just shown your arrogance and hubris.

[bcrocker33]

scathing!

[starry118]

Okay...this is hillarious

[jaspar38]

You should apply to work at The Onion. They have a YouTube channel now.

I don't know why, but the funniest part of the video for me was when that last puppy popped up.

[FatalToxin]

wow its fucking hilarious that someone actually made a youtube channel just stating that will swenson is an athiest. btw, 0:22 lmfao

[sperckensiedoitch]

I think there's an unhealthy obsession going on here.

[thisfreakingname]

LOL @ 1:19

(By the way, what the fuck is this shit)

[beanwuzhere]

haahahahaha . . . uh . . . woah. I seriously have no idea what to make of this video--what's up with the puppies? The music is great, though.  Good grief--are you people actually serious? Oh, good. I didn't think so.

[marinda1984]

Dog is God spelled backwards.

[DonnaRello]

Why can't you all just take his own words at face value and end this question? You got his own words, telling you that he's NOT an Atheist...I think that should be good enough proof and a good enough answer, being it's from the person himself!

[bcrocker33]

you know, this isn't even important anyway. if you watch one second of this man's talent...religion doesn't even play a part. he is so amazing on stage and that doesn't even touch his other talents.

this video is ridiculous.

[byrnegirl141]

This is too funny

[awesomebitch]

First of all, regardless of whether or not he is an atheist, being an atheist IN NO WAY makes you a bad person, or less of a person. Secondly, will's an ACTOR!!! HELLO!!! actor's play all sorts of roles, both similar and totally set apart from who they are in their own lives! so, its stupid, and more than a tad overzealous to accuse and attempt to villify the man for possibly, maybe, perchance being an atheist. get a life. will swenson is AWESOME!!!

[ringer1ca]

He's not an atheist. ;) This is just a comedy video where someone was playing with dramatic music and combined atheist imagery with Will Swenson's image. It's funny. That's it.

[1hidden]

Actors work wherever they can find it.

[bcrocker33]

Will is so great and how fantastic it would be to have to leave one show for another. hard, but i mean to have those opportunities. i was reading the scathing remark from someone who new him way back in 92 as a mormon missionary. i guess he has some cred for his opinion, but seriously, Will Swenson is a loved guy.

[notso11]

Scathing? Sure. The truth? Absolutely. He's loved by what people know of him from the exterior. They see him act and fall for him after a couple of hours. They don't know anything real about the guy. I've spent days, months, years knowning who the true Will really is. If you were to get to know Will and he were truly honest with you, you'd learn that he is living in his own personal Hell at this point in his life. He has lost so much, he knows it too. He'll figure it out 1 day, I hope

[bcrocker33]

you didn't have to thumbs down my comment. i don't know him personally, and i can actually see his cockiness and saw it up close and personal. i like the guy's talent. i don't disbelieve you. 16 years is a long time ago. so, who has his boys? he must have shared custody and he is in a new relationship.  what else has he lost? i do not take away your belief in Christ. I am christian and teach sunday school. i also know that judging opinion is un christian like.

[VisionProductions526]

its no ones business where he is an atheist or not! not all actors that act in mormon comedies are mormon!

[calrek]

BEST. VIDEO. EVAR.

[robanah]

Ummmmm....... was someone smoking somone smoking a bad dubbie while making this? I thought it was funny but whoa crack trip!!!!!!

[alixr]

Oh God... this is just an epic waste

[upliftedsoul]

hahaha what. this video makes no sense whatsoever to me.

[shimmershine78]

this is kind of wierd. no offense intended.  it is just kind of random to me.... :)

[zijjo]

what a thoughtful video!

[DonnaRello]

Good for him! Now that he's clarified everything for you, you can all MOVE on with your lives and sleep better at night.

[ivinsean]

whats wrong with being atheist

[rubdowntheline]

am i the only one who thinks this is butt-monkey funny..very cool.

[soulfire139]

Will swenson is not athiest. hes Mormon

[pineapplelesson]

I am so confused.

[bueller82]

Anybody who thinks this guy is remotely funny is retarded

[volkerthefiddler]

Sorry, are you referring to Will Swenson, or this video? Your pronouns are rather vague.

[josiahezra]

Wow! He's probably not an atheist, more like a narcissistic thespian. Who aparently also has some time on his hands.... Sons of Provo is still funny.

[natureboywonder]

Ya'll say Atheist like it's a bad thing. I know a worse word, bigot. I guess witch hunters will always be around as long as there are "un-christlike" people around. I guess I shouldn't be too quick to judge either. After all It is hard to tell if this is just an attempt at humor or if it is serious. Who ever posted might want to clarify.

[willswenson]

Will here-- wow, you folks have way too much time on your hands.  Just wanted to clarify something-- I did not leave my wife Amy for anyone. Thanks for the personal intrusion-- Just sadly, had to end a 13 year marriage after years of trying to make a broken thing work. Please, please don't post ignorant things. Also, not that it's anyone's business, I'm not an atheist. Weird, weird video though... now, off to never visit this page again...

[kakadjm]

Your right, we really should mind our own business. Please forgive♥

[DonnaRello]

I forgive you. No worries. He's just a real nice guy and I'll defend him to my teeth if I have to lol

[acoustikfan]

Wow, the ignorance in the comments and video on this page. Wow... Let me take this opportunity to offend you all so that my true message here gets lost, and you feel justified,because of how offended you are, in dismissing it. MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS. We'd be a LOT better off if you did. Let his business be his, and mind your own. Shit...

[volkerthefiddler]

I don't think that 'ManOfVinyl' understands that this video is not a joke. It is a video that demands an answer to a question: "Is Will Swenson an atheist, or isn't he?" Until we know the answer...ah hell, it seems like a joke to me too.

[ManOfVinyl]

Does anyone get that this video is... funny... that it's a joke...?

[Rebeca1una]

i don`t get it... is he a mormon or an atheist or a mormon that became atheist? this video doesn`t show anything that proves anithing....

[glitcherkid]

Hey, he is no longer an "active" member of the LDS church, and is getting divorced.

P.S. You DO NOT have to be a mormon to go to BYU! Just to clarify.

[vsmitty90]

what are you kidding?? yes you do

[imtheben]

Totally true. You *do not* have to be LDS ("mormon") to go to BYU. Literally thousands of students there are *not* members of the Church.

[uvscrob]

not yet....

[mprmike]

Can't believe I'm dignifying this, but the actress in question is far better-known than Will Swenson and is only 3 years older than he is.

[smallZ4321]

He is a nice "Fella" I would know. He's kinda my uncle.

[trapcase]

geez guys it's a joke

[SaraOhh21]

i literally "lol"

[volkerthefiddler]

I, for one, am glad someone was brave enough to post this. For some time I've thought Will Swenson too suspiciously smug to not be an atheist.

[silvertenneyshoes]

So why exactly did you bother to make this? Its just retarded and spastic. I really actually do hope you were trying to screw over the image of mormons because you tanked royally.

[willswensonatheist]

I don't see how you perceive an attack on Mormons or Mormonism here. It is simply an inquiry into the character of Will Swenson. There has never been any definitive answer to this question and it's important that the question is asked. There is no judgment here. Only a vital inquisitiveness not designed to be hurtful to Mormons or Atheists.

[eltooyo2]

"A vital inquisitiveness"?! It's nobody freakin' business but his! He's just an actor playing a part. Who gives a crap what his religious affiliations are? What is this? 1692?

P.S., "No judgment"? Looked pretty judgmental to me.

[amandalorraine]

he's not mormon in case you are still looking for that answer. he's married with children and he's a stand up guy.

[amandalorraine]

just kidding, he's mormon, not atheist. please excuse my typo.

[adamrbuchanan]

Quite possibly THE most retarded thing I've ever seen.

[joshstoph]

I second that. What's with the photoshopping people next to him?  And the dogs? What in the world?

He attended BYU. You have to be LDS (Mormon) to go to college there.

[Balencestochexi]

Actually no, you don't, but he was LDS when he went there, now however he's not.

[sonsofprovo]

I happen to know for a fact that Will Swenson is NOT an atheist. But he is a gay porn star.  I'll send pics soon.

[adogforever]

I don't believe Swenson is a gay porn star and you should never say such crap.

[kakadjm]

Although, he is on Broadway and does get hit on a lot by the guys

[volkerthefiddler]

Well, jrenae75 and Kyon65, it does matter if he's an atheist, 'cause duh!

[jrenae75]

Weird. I don't care either way. He's playing a part in movies. His own personal convictions don't matter to me.

[Kyon65]

It was funny.. But who cares if he's an atheist?

Is it a crime?

Are you going to stone him?
