Americans fall in love with anyone with an English accent, no matter how backward his information is, and Pat Condell is Exhibit A of that. His sophistries about Jews, Israel, and Jerusalem are telling in their ignorance.

He starts with the phony premise that he loves the Jews. But then he does a bait-and-switch that shows he actually hates them as much as the Muslims do. Condell says that the Jews have as much right to Germany as they do Israel. Wrong. He says there has never been a Jewish presence in Jerusalem and that it has always been a Muslim Arab city. Oh, really? I suppose the men who were kings over it and built the temple were King “Dawud” and King “Suleiman.” Puh-leeze. Jerusalem has always been a Jewish city. There has always been a Jewish presence there.

Next time you watch the words of Pat Condell, be more of a critical thinker. He gets it completely wrong on Jews and Israel and religion in general. And, therefore, you can’t listen to him on much of anything else.

If we could reason with religious people there would be no religious people.

“Of course, you know if the Jesus myth is correct, he would have been born in the Spring during tax-time.”

Really Buster? This is shocking and disturbing! Maybe I need to rethink this whole B’day celebration?

Merry Christmas and try to enjoy whatever it is you enjoy. Leave the odium, the bigotry and disparagement for those you find loathsome at least for the season find peace and Joy and goodwill towards men.

12 Hor- The link I included works. Why not refer to Kyle Williams taking apart the nonsense of G&T? Why wade into that banality when it has already been done?

Merry Christmas to you too! I enjoy the modernized pagan Yule and Saturnalia enormously! Let Odin’s Wild Hunt Commence! ( Of course, you know if the Jesus myth is correct, he would have been born in the Spring during tax-time. Also, some early pope made the whole thing up to divert people from the more interesting booze and sex filled Saturnalia. Imagine the degeneracy that must have prevailed in Rome for a dumbass story like the laughable virgin birth to take hold. )

12 Hor- I can see how the logic of a babbling 15 year-old girl would be something you can relate to. It is false from the get-go. There are no great philosophers who have shown evidence for a god. It has always been a bust. That is why philosophy does not really deal with it anymore. It can not be done.

Nose Buster

I am disappointed. I anticipated a great retort from you personally but you must resort to some guy named Kyle. I clicked his website and behold is was dead just like his response. Here go – I have this young lady Shelia who provides an intelligent demolishing of Kyle. You may not that Kyle’s work is not published at all:)

Buster, bad news, I have seen your musings. Geisler would demolish you as well.

Roast- Lucky for you it was a slow day. As if Hor endorsing a book is not sufficient indictment of its worth, here is an intelligent dis-assembly of Geisler and Turek’s incorrect arguments. You should also note that this book is published in Wheaton, Ill proximal to the xtian diploma mill college.

How is it that Pat Condell is perceived as angry? Since when does specific, non-prevaricating, and emphatic speech qualify as angry? This is the idiocy political correctness.

The Christian beliefs that are distinguishable from basic secular humanist beliefs deserve no respect.
