Great presentation! I am looking forward to reading the book! I can tell already that I will likely get so much delirious laughter out of it! I also suspect that it might not have been too difficult to write the book as religion (all of them) are such infinitely rich sources of comedic material. One of my favorite sayings is “people who don’t like having their beliefs ridiculed probably shouldn’t have such ridiculous beliefs!” Thank you so very much.
How can you prove that every religion is false individually. Everyone conforms no matter what. Most conform to various forms of christianity, yet you say it is false? Where does this insane thought come from?
Nothing was proven, but it was humorous.
“Those aren’t even real letters!”
pretty funny. too bad there aren’t yet more religions! (for purely mocking purposes, of course!)
though i must admit, i do believe there is some thing after this life. if there is, i highly doubt it’ll be any thing like what any religion teaches. or rather, what any superstition teaches. because that’s a more fitting term for “religion”.
any way – liked the video.
