I spent most of this video laughing my head off.

I have this urge to sing Christmas carols now.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Don't you have any other source than this guy? =/

You give me good other ones and I'll listen to him.

Has he got your little Québecois socialist bones rattled? Aw.

I actually don't even bother to watch those videos you post of him. o.O So I don't even know what he's talking about, bar the titles that make him sound like a bigot. I just noticed you seem to refer to him a lot when you post youtube videos in PPR regarding topics such as this.

If you actually bother to listen to him, he's got a lot more to say for himself than just being anti-Islam. Indeed, he hates all religion - any religion - with an unconcealed passion. He hates it. It shows in his videos.

If you're a strident atheist, you'd like him.

I'm somewhat ambivalent to doing broad generalization of liking or disliking religions. There're good and bad things that come along in most of them, but I do enjoy staying somewhat neutral since we all believe in something.

I'm mostly atheist, but I do not mind leaving the door half-opened to new ideas. I can make my choice afterwards.

In this particular video, he was taking a pop at the bigoted side of atheism. I don't know if you saw that. He is an atheist himself.

I am a theist and I occasionally listen to him. His style is a bit much for me sometimes and often find it slightly silly that he thinks of himself as a comedian, I think I lack an appreciation for his sense of humor. He does however make a good point in this video about being offended. He is an anti-post-modern atheist and while I think what he most has a problem sits firmly within his own world-view I can respect that he still say interesting things to say.

He is an equal opportunity "hater". He has spoken just as harshly as the catholic church and the Israeli orthodox judaism as he has about Islam. He objects to what he considers extremism. His focus is islam because that is the most visible group in his community.

Also the most violent group. Remember what happened when a newspaper printed pictures of Mohammed?

Yup. In domestic politics he is a withdrawalist EU-sceptic as well as leaning toward libertarianism. A couple of videos of his talk about politics but his main subject outside religion is the state of the EU.

I agree with him. I don't know many atheists who would disagree.

Indeed.

Is 91 = Itachi705 in youtube?

The guy is an idiot which makes it not a surprise that Tequila linked to it. In fact, he is either an idiot or victim or lame press. FFRF sends complains when nativity scenes are made and atheist groups are not allowed to place their own decorations. So, in fact, in these cases it is the "politically correct" Christians that are against diversity in the first place.

Thus the guy makes a complete fool of himself ranting at the straw 'radical' atheist that are afraid of nativity scenes and ignores the real issues behind the topics he is describing.

For sure, this guy must have never experienced a mini-pogrom where a neighbourhood, or small town, transforms from a two-church populace, to a one-church & smaller populace. My direct experiences more often involved the courthouse lawn of a Justice-of-the-Peace as a determinative factor of what was right, and what was wrong, for religious holy-days. If a nativity scene was on the law's lawn, a Christmas tree in every household was mandatory, or suffer the consequences of Justice of the Right Religious Crowd. Along with Blue-Laws, the enforced holidays weren't limited to just holy-Days, but with the wisdom of a Reverend Hickmire, any day a True Patriot would recognize required recognition, even if "them pinko-commie" atheists didn't like it.

This extented to art and dress also, as Reverend Hickmire found the movie "Boy On A Dolphin" hard-core smut when the wet blouse revealed the unmentionables of Sophia Loren, though now in God-Less America today, the smut is now art and the Sculpture is "kiddie-porn" by God's Standards. With dress, the work of Satan known as "Slacks for a Lady" were illegal, as was "questionable" jewelery, without certificate of Hickmire permit, so when 91 defers to Reverend Hickmire's judgement, he might actually be serious on who should determine which type of "pin" is legal by relevant city laws promulgated by whichever Hickmire or Comstock doctrine standards.

Reverend Hickmire claimed his openness to religious freedom, as other religious individuals could freely convert or perish or disappear, as to their free choice. Back then, no one complained longer than it took to set a fire, which is another proud American Religious Tradition making a Patriotic comeback from oppression by "them pinko-commie" atheists. Stones were also reusable, so no environmentalist needs to be concerned about that return.
