Pat Condell videos on Youtube

Post by _Sethbag »

I kinda liked this one:

Pimping for Jesus

And a bunch more. I actually kind of like listening to this guy - he's fairly clever, speaks well if a bit fast, and says a lot of things that make a lot of sense. The video I linked above has a fair bit about Mormonism, actually.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Some of my fav quotes:

"And they always dress it up too in such a nice little package as if Christianity equals patriotism. This is a peculiarly American idea. This is not something that I've ever seen anywhere else. This notion that Christianity and patriotism are somehow connected."

"I've always found it quite odd that we revere the ancient Greeks for their great discoveries in science and philosophy, and yet we dismiss their religion as fantasy while embracing the religion of a culture that could barely rub two sticks together to make fire."

"Religion has had thousands of years to make a convincing case for itself, and yet this is the kind of thing it still has to resort to. Crude coercion and childish threats of eternal punishment."
If there's one thing I've learned from this board, it's that consensual sex with multiple partners is okay unless God commands it. - Abman

I find this place to be hostile toward all brands of stupidity. That's why I like it. - Some Schmo

Which makes the Mormons patriotic because Jesus moved over here and became an American God! He probably even got the American citizenship. He is all knowing after all, he surely could answer those civics questions, although finding an English-Aramaic dictionary might have been difficult..

I liked the videos too... to a point. After a while the anger in them got to me. I probably watched too many in a row. Bad Trevor. Bad.

I don't think he's that angry, more exasperated that what he sees as the correct way of thinking is seen as ridiculous by the majority who in turn believe things he considers ridiculous.
I think he's fairly funny and witty though.

His Islamofascist videos are fairly angry, and frankly I agree with him.
