Very funny performance. "That is a quibble!" lol. And It's true that skeptics are skeptical of everything but skepticism. I can just see Richard Dawkins listening to someone talk about Church teaching with a pipe trembling in his mouth.
"You have looked at nothing from every possible point of view, you have divided nothing into sections, and then recombined
it into systems. You have distinguished one kind of nothing from another kind of nothing, and then proven that it all sumounted to....nothing after all!"
And there exposes in a brilliantly perfect statement the emptiness of the nothingness of nihilism and anarchism.
Jesus Christ is God. He died to save us from our sins, learn about Him from the Bible alone.
I read the Classics as a professional student, and I still read the Bible. It is the penultimate Classic of Western Civilisation. The anciets have merit and virtue and are well worth studying, but the Scriptures can wrap it all up and give it direction.
Well, insofar as words spoken or written, Christ Himself is the ultimate Word. But to classify him as part of Western Civilisation is perhaps a little dubious. All the same, I would like to think He is the Word behind all that is good and beautiful in any civilisation.
This is not a Word which can be read, mind you, but which may only be known personally, so don't try to run out to the bookstore and buy your copy of ο Λογος.

Nicely done. But you need to get more realistic wardrobe, namely that black Goatee. Or forgo it. Looks like a rats backside as is

I wonder if Dawkins or Hitchens or Fry or Harris have ever read this man in depth...

Incredibly cheesy acting, but incredibly brilliant skit. I can both laugh and muse at this...and that's hard to find.

@MrAndreas90 The reason the acting's so cheesy is we're all Swiss.

California had this statement in which they said something like, we will not tolerate intolerance!

I love it! Would that I could call more people out like that.

Do you mean ultimate rather than penultimate? If not, which is the ultimate?
