so your saying jesus was a comedian, things are starting to make sense to me now, religion is one big joke started by a man with a beard a dress and some sandals...

[juikm]

What, Jesus was better? I sodding doubt it!

[Omega47]

OMFG when he finally made the sound that Flo did I fell out of my chair into the fetal position trying not to let my bowels empty. Holy shit I have not laughed that hard in ages.

[Forseliz]

@Cathain78 And what is there to know about religion? Is it a science, does it have a measuring number ? As much as i know it isnt, as it contains no logic and tons upon tons of imagination. So anyone can dump shit or praise religion as much as they want, as there are no bounds in it.

@Cathain78 i get what u saying but i dont even think related to his childhood directly......he had a hard childhood but his decision to believe or not in god came later, and as his choice is not to then he can use it in his act . freedom of choice..what this country is meant to be about

@Cathain78

I find his views on religion quite interesting and i dont see how u connected them to his childhood. Sure, he doesn't present them in the most welcoming of ways to believers, but that's how he delivers his comedy. Apart from this stand up, i haven't heard him say "im just kidding, sorry" in any other act. He's not afraid to say "fuck off" and that's how his audience likes him. I mean sure, i found him to be offensive quite a few times, but nevertheless i laughed.

[Cathain78]

Billy is funny until he starts getting torn into religion.

I understand he had a hard childhood but ....give it a f*cking break, Big Yin.

Stick to what you know. Stick to being funny.

[freedomsoldier187]

I suppose you could say I believe in jesus, but this is comedy and it's good for a laugh stop this arguing, for fucks sake !

[holyswordsmanoffaith]

@Rebads theory...billy started it all to fuck with us for a laugh. lol could you fucking imagine? XD the cosmic joke!

[JordanJ39]

@Rebads well it probably was a joke blown out of proportion. and religion is older than 2009 years anyway.

[DreamsCatcher101]

See the look to the audience around 5:55, looking to see if that guy he took the piss out of has climbed up to the rafters to drop something on him lol

[orpingtondood]

@Rebads well i dont spose hes saying that seeing Jesus was born 2010 years ago, still i bet he was funny
