How the fuck can pastor Wilson maintain a straight face as he looks Joy in the eye and says "duhhh....yes i believe in talking snake....duhhh....yes i believe in big boat with animals...duhhhhh" WHAT THE FUCK? How is it possible that it's 2011 and people like this are given national platforms from which to spout off on their favorite fairy tales??? AMAZING!! You Americans are fucked!

So if somebody doesn't believe in Bigfoot, it's up to them to prove that he does NOT exist ?....hahahahaha ! whatever.

I am an American....and yes most of us are fucked; thats why the United States is on a steady trajectory toward the plutocratic abyss.

@kingofthering Also, here is another scriptural reference to "good fruit". Galatians 5 Now the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

@kingofthering24  If there is an evil one, Satan, then where do you think he could do the most damage?In the name of religion.Consider this verse from Matthew:18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

@brettcody76 FUCK YOU!!!

@JoshwithaJ Clean up your language, please.

What I can't get over from this video is the hubris of Wilson asserting that God is "self-evident". OK, so God's obvious. So, explain God's existence to somebody who honestly doesn't see this obviousness. I honestly don't. Without referring to faith, or your smug, humorless, pious assertions, prove God in any way. Just one shred of evidence. That's all I ask. Why are you keeping this evidence away from me? Because I'm already supposed to see it? But, again, honestly I DO NOT.

I knew I shouldn't have watched this. It's so sad that Christopher Hitchens is no longer alive :(
