FELLOW non-believers, we bring you glad tidings! Brother Sam Singleton, atheist evangelist, is planning a tour of the UK later this year.
But we need your help to find venues at which Brother Sam can deliver his sermons, which aim to bolster non-believers, and de-convert the “saved”.
If you are involved in organising theatre programmes, and support the idea of bringing the Good News to the masses that there is no god/gods, please contact us through the message facility on this blog and we will put you in contact with his agents, Dogberry, Bottom and Sly in New York.
No, honestly, that IS their real name!
Brother Sam is the creation of Roger Scott Jackson, who had the idea of working
on an atheist evangelist show “for years”. But it was only in 2007 that Brother Sam came into existence as the black-clad hammerer of religious belief.
Asked in a recent interview, aren’t you adding fuel to the conflict between groups that are already struggling to get along? Jackson replied:
Are you talking about intramural conflicts between the various sects, or conflict between believers and atheists? It’s hard to imagine that Patriarchs and Penises [the name of his show] could have any real effect on relations between Christians, Jews, and Muslims, since it doesn’t favor one over the other. I suppose it could incite believers to treat their non-believing sisters and brothers even more shabbily, but that seems a little grandiose. And I don’t think it likely that atheists will be moved to rise up in numbers against their friends and families and all the others who overwhelmingly believe in god.
Here’s a flavour of Brother Sam’s preaching. Enjoy – and stay “Unsaved”!

I am reminded of Psalm 2; this man can rage against God all he likes but God will have the last word; either God will convert him or cast him into the lake of fire (Hell)at the last judgement.

Of course, we have our very own, Pat Condell for this kind of event. I’m not too sure that evangelism is what atheists require, especially if Bob’s an example of the other side of the argument. Next there will be people calling for an atheist meeting halls with their own preachers. Then there will be senior preachers to ensure that the normal preachers are spreading the true atheist word. Then it will be suggested that a tithe be placed on ‘true atheists’ so that the word of atheism can be spread throughout the world. Then, perhaps, atheist missionaries and atheist archbishops not forgetting the atheist high leader who can cast out ‘iffy’ atheists. Hmmmm. Not sure this is a path I’d like to follow.

Take note Bob that any future message you post containing biblical references will be trashed. Can you meet the challenge of engaging in RATIONAL discourse without reference to your collection of primitive scribblings? Personally, I doubt it because virtually every infantile word you write betrays a mind utterly polluted by superstition, and quite incapable of any form of original thought.

The ‘Bob Problem’. As this is a FreeThinker site, I believe anyone has the right to express their opinions, and Bob has certainly done that, in spades. On a previous item, Bob showed himself up to be a pretty unpleasant character, threatening to bring in his thuggy friends to destroy the site and its intentions if he was barred. Might I humbly suggest, however much Bob might provoke you with his outrageous comments, that he is ignored and that our comments are directed to the article or to the more atheist friendly commenters. Bye, Bob. Enjoy Coventry.

I did not say that I wanted the site destroyed, but I did say that if you people believe in free speech then you should not delete my posts.

Dave McK – Thanks!
Bob. I’ve noticed that you have stopped quoting from your Book of Bollocks since Barry gave you a slap on the wrist. That is a start. I believe that freedom of speech is the freedom to say what you think. See the word I used there Bob…think. Regurgitating mindless drivel written by old men with very serious personality disorders is therefore not conducive to free speech.
This site is about freedom of THOUGHT. Original thought. The clue is in the title.

I see you have deleted my post. Does your atheism not stand up to scrutiny then?
January 19th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Bob.
I’ve been following your posts and preachings over the last week or so and have been at times quite amused but this constant banging on about biblical references is frankly getting on everyone’s tits. It’s been said many times if you can think for yourself and put up an argument or point of view people would be more tolerant. I’m not as intellectual as some on this sight nor as witty but I like to think I can reason for myself so if you’ve nothing to say for “yourself” then as they say up here in t’north. Do one!

Back on topic:
If this tour goes ahead, then expect the usual idiots such as Birdshit Green and his rent a mob of placard waving wailers to be there. Maybe Bob will be there too!

Bob I am glad to see you like mythology, you keep quoting from the biggest book of mythology that has ever been written

I didn’t think much of the Youtube clip, for a start, he talks too slow for my liking!
Pat Condell comes over as far funnier, more insightful, and above all, he speaks faster. I prefer that.
BUT – if he toured, the Stephen Greens of this world would probably provide most of the funniest lines. (does that creep have a day job? or does he spend his spare time begging for his income to make a prick of himself in public?)
As for Bob – while I’m all for free speech – he should just clear off somewhere else – as its tiring to have to scroll past his inane comments.
There are plenty of places for him to air his primitivism elsewhere. A Freethinking blog – is not a place to promote anti-thinking. The only excuse as to why he doesn’t spot where he’s going wrong – is the possibility that he’s a congenital idiot or something.

Hi Bob. If god (small g, seems apt somehow) would cast a man into a lake of fire for eterninty just for making fun of him, and god is – presumably – infinitely good and wise, what can I do to some bloke who looks a bit funny at my pint/girlfriend/frock? Put a cap in his ass? Shooting someone, perhaps not even fatally, seems a lightweight response compared to the robust approach of your deity.
January 19th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
You mention the lake of fire; this is for those who refuse to repent of their sins and accept Jesus as Lord and saviour.
January 19th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I concur with NewSpaniard, Bob is a nitwit and should be ignored, I have read some of his stuff and its childish and boring, so please people, don’t rise to it.
I prefer Pat Condell too, but does he tour ?. Also most good comedians are pretty anti -religion these days, but the more the merrier
January 19th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
This “lake of fire” Bob – it’s responsible for global warming right? So I can now go out and buy a Hummer and a giant plasma TV without agonising about my carbon footprint? Oh shit, forgot about the credit crunch!

Thank you Franky V for implicitly acknowledging my right of free speech and not calling for me to be deleted.

It has been well noted by many posters here that we Atheists support the idea of free speech. Apparently Bob agrees with free speech too, though this is only because it allows him to come in here and try to save us even though he has completely missed that fact that we have already been saved by realising that the invisible maniac in the sky is invisible because he doesn’t exist.
Bob’s definition of free speech is very clear: believe in god or be tossed into the lake of fire. Thats not free speech Bob. It’s a threat. My way or else. Clearly, free speech to morons like Bob is a one way thing.
Though it’s truly painful to read the pathetic cries for help from such a tortured mind, the responses are hilarious and for that I thank you Bob! Religion was made for comedy!

What a terrible actor. And not funny.
