Pat is playing a major part in civilization, we need to stop giving undeserved respect to these phony flim-flam artists(religious /spiritual teachers) and religious/supernatural BS anxiety spewed by these schizophrenics who need an insane asylum like Josiah. Keep doing what you do Pat!

He has allowed himself to be manipulated by the system, and has been led astray by HaSatan into pointing the finger of blame at all the wrong places; he is a rancid, malicious prophet of hopelessness, with which the Atheist creed is replete: offering nothing constructive; no hope, no reason, no dignity, no honor, no moral fabric, no brotherhood; no Ahavah/agape/love for the brothers of the nation; no answers, no solutions; just the wages of G-dless sin- death! Condell virtually foams at the mouth whilst spewing out his insults, a fanatical “whacko” with few peers in the religion of Atheism. In all honesty, I actually believe you to be a closet shylock. I notice how you have refrained from picking out the bones of Rabbinical Judaism. You’re just a Pharisee in the guise of Hitchen’s ventriloquist dummy. I pity you for your enslaved state of mind."

I have already made a bunch of my friends listen to you~ they are getting a little sick of all my religious rambles. My favorite video had your "invisible car" epithet and that is such a clever way of wording things. I'm glad that there are people who will say what you have to say and never give up that freedom of speech. So many of my fellow 'Americans' could care less about politics or anything like that. Living in such a small town means we have quite a few evangelists but that can't be helped. I have been an atheist since I was very young, thought my family was Catholic. I always told them that the only reason I was an atheist was simply because I thought it would have been much more interesting to be an Egyptian and believe in their afterlife, because hell, at least they had gods for drinking. You'll never find one of those in Christian dogma.I have subscribed to you on iTunes, favorites you on facebook, and laughed at your website. Good luck. Pat, keep it up.

In 1983 I was nearly sucked into Christianity like a helpless asteroid into a black hole. It's all to do with the threat of everlasting hell. Right, we should make all mention of hell illegal under hate-speech laws. After all, it is a direct (OK, second-hand) threat against individuals. Once this is removed, the religious fundamentalists will have lost their main converting tool. Josiah... I have watched all of Pat's videos, and nowhere do I find any hate speech. His message is all about freeing the minds of human beings from dogma and baseless superstitious fear. I'm all for it. Every time another female is circumcised, an unjustifiable act of hate and abuse is committed. Every time a happy young girl is forced into an endless cycle of rape (called "marriage"), an unjustifiable act of hate and abuse is committed. We have enough intelligence and human instinct to see which religions / belief systems are aggressive and oppressive... and which are not. Buddhism does not constitute a threat to Judaism or any other way of life. The Internet is now the way for communication to be handled properly without interference. I'd rather watch a presentation on Youtube than the BBC. At least there can be feedback and discussion on the Internet. If there is to be a thought revolution in this country, it will start on the Internet. We can all see the way the World is going, and we can see how things will end up if it is not changed. I don't want to see bloodshed, just a reversal of dangerous trends and the last-minute rescue of humanity. And if anyone misconstrues me as racist... I have friends of all colours. It's dogma and attitude I'm concerned with, not race. Pat’s observations make a lot of sense to me. In 1983 I was nearly sucked into Christianity like a helpless asteroid into a black hole.

I have no particular religious leaning though I respect those that do..... That said, providing they are able to maintain the moral high ground. Those that consider you a racist and take offense at what you deliver are simply affirming that they are the ones you are addressing.... yes? As Abe Lincoln said.... "It is better to remain silent and let other think you a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt..." There are hose that with every word they spout just confirm their idiocy..... but not bright enough o even realise it, perhaps? Keep up the good work, Pat..... xx Absolutely spot on, Pat!!

I've watched quite a few of his videos on Youtube over the last couple of years. I had to chuckle at the comment about Dinesh D'Souza too. He's about as arrogant and pretentious as you can get (he used to do blogs, most of which were devoted to the magnificense of the great Dinesh D'Souza and his amazingly keen intellect..meh), so for him to accuse Pat Condell of being smug is sheer hypocrisy.
