je ne comprend pas l'anglais, s.v.p. y a t-il la traduction en français? merci.

[GreatBigBore]

@gaetano1936 "traduction en français"

Vous plaisantez, non? J'ai un peu de français, mais pas assez pour traduire tout ça. Désolé.

[GreatBigBore]

@gaetano1936 "je ne comprend pas l'anglais"

Voyez mon blog. URL en video description. Puis translate.google. com. Bonne chance.

Wow .. secularists mean non-religious to them and someone who thinks that matter is all there is. Looking at 2.40 here or so..

What kind of nonsense is that? That´s not at all what it means.

It just means someone who thinks church and state should be seperated. What are these guys trying to do anyway by lying so much about terms - trying to demonise everyone who doesnt want a theocracy?

Grrrrr......

[GreatBigBore]

@Korkzor "trying to demonise everyone who doesnt want a theocracy?"

I think you nailed it.

[rogan71]

I can see why you've done this...Their BS is starting to make me choke, and I'm 1000's of miles away? I've shared every single video with them, as I'm sure have many others....Have they expressed an annoyance yet? I'd love to know if these are royally pissing them off?

[GreatBigBore]

@rogan71

"Have they expressed an annoyance yet?"

Not yet, but it's still the winter holiday. It's possible that not all of them check their school email while away from work.

"I've shared every single video with them"

Thanks very much. That means a lot. Seriously a lot.

[GreatBigBore]

@51Shekels "How can you stand to go through this diatribe"

To tell the truth, their BS is like fuel to my outrage. The more I read, the more driven and energized I am to expose these people.

[sybite]

The religious live with cognitive dissonance. Evidence and logic mean very little to them.

3:17 -- damn you, now I want some fudge!

[IvanPashnko]

lol 1: Hebrew? lol

[SolDeSaBelle]

@gaetano1936 sinon, moi je peux te traduire ce que tu comprends pas :) Envoie moi un message et je te traduis tout ça !

("otherwise, I could translate whatever it is you don't understand; PM me the passages you don't get and I'll translate them".

I'm a professionnal translator, and I speak both French and English. I think GBB's video are extremely well articulated and that his reflections deserve to be spread beyond the borders of linguistic differences)

[TAz69x]

The principal has no principles

@gaetano1936 A Gaetano! Impara l'inglese!!!!

[Palmergedd0n]

Best one so far!

[ralphenstein]

@Korkzor That's a very good point. These people don't seem to understand that secularism is good for eveyone. If they got their way and lived in a theocracy, it almost certainly wouldn't subscribe to exactly the same god they do, and even if it did, it would only be a matter of time until it didn't.
