@LABCall: I said spamming because someone said "The Abrahamic Zombies" were spamming, so I took it as Christians, Muslims and Jews. It was so long ago, I was watching a Christian Video and I saw him mocking people that believed in God. So I just was wondering why he was even watching that video. You know what, forget about it, because if people want to follow God they will, but I just don't believe in mocking. I don't mock Jews or Muslims, just because I don't agree with them.

@Valoree1104 Brigstocke is not having a go at people choosing to believe in a suprenatural being. He's having a go at WHAT THEY DO IN THE NAME OF THEIR GOD. There's a huge difference between saying a prayer and becoming a suicide bomber.

This guy , Marcus Brigstocke was spamming the hell out of a Christian Video site, that's how I first heard about him.

[LABCall]

@Valoree1104 don't take it personally, if you listen to some of his other rants about religion, he has equal contempt for the Jews and Muslims, and presumably the others too. And he said in the original rant, "each one of these faiths will be utterly convinced that they're the ones being singled out for torment". As for spamming - can you describe in greater detail what he did on this site? Because I doubt spamming is the right word.

There always seems to be this misunderstanding that being a Christian is about earning something. In fact its the other way around. Being a Christian is simply about saying sorry for the crap and begin forgiven. No catches, no exceptions, and although there are many religious how will tell you otherwise, no-one is exempt. Forgiveness removes the threat of punishment and guilty, allowing good deeds to be done with a pure motive. Also; Marcus is freakin hilarious :D

loving the prayer :)

Alas the point he makes at the end is wrong. It's not easier it's harder, much, much harder.

@Valoree1104 But there is so much to mock in these foolish idiot religions!
