God Is Not Enough

[@exilfromsanity]

Pat you are without a doubt the very best commentator on you tube.

[@reason2463]

Pat is the person I agree with the most in the universe. Good job, Pat!

[@slater231]

This guy, is an absoloute legend in my eyes. Adults shouldn't have imaginary friends.

[@mistylover7398]

Screw you sinners. Purple unicorn creator is real repent.

[@mathphysicsnerd]

By far the funniest one I've seen yet! It's a shame there are so few of these videos, I'll reach the end soon and will just have to wait.

[@bluesisgold]

"Religion is God's way of telling us he doesn't exist"! Absolutely superb, must be quoted as often as possible.

[@johnnywithashotgun4489]

Life has no inherent reason... Life is a question mark... What do I do next ? Where will I go ? Why will I do it ? What will I eat ? When will I die ? Is there a point to it ? All questions - You play the game - and at the end all the pieces go back in the box...

[@dickenya3278]

Yes!

[@Mediumal]

Life has only the reason we give to it.

[@danw1374]

Human intelligence and our natural curiiosity tries to rationalise everything. Maybe there is no reason and we are all just another chemical reaction, one of trillions in the universe.

[@bluesisgold]

My guts are hurting from laughing so hard! "It's only the after-life, not Saudi Arabia"! That might the funniest single line I've EVER heard! Pat, thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@roba1899]

I absolutely fuckin' love this guy ..

[@gor265]

Excellent post, well researched and exquisitely presented reality check.

[@Hottides]

Pat's simultaneously educating and entertaining the global masses, and has probably brought more enlightenment into far more minds than most of any age can aspire to do.

[@pammer12345]

Thank you Pat - I am another closet atheist from a fundamentalist christian family. I cannot speak out myself, except anonymously, so for now I rely on courageous people like you to keep up the good fight. Thank you thank you thank you for speaking the truth. It is like a breathe of fresh air to my religion-damaged soul.

[@gutt315]

If God exist religion is the must antigod ever made! Bless you Pat Condell!

[@narcissistchristians]

LOAD OF BS MOST NEGATIVE CLOWN EVER HEARD..NO ALTERNATIVE IDEAS.. maybe suicide in?

[@peteberwick]

I LOVE THIS MAN, HE IS FUNNY AS HELL AND A GENIUS! NO ONE HAS EVER ATICULATED THE WAY I FEEL LIKE PAT.. AND DAMMIT PAT, WE GOTTA SHARE THAT BEER!

[@davex444]

Dude! I'm so glad you evolved your sense of humor!

[@ikvsabre]

That was epic, Pat. Thanks from me in the USA.

[@foxfuzzbox1541]

You are just fucking great, man!

[@hauntboy]

Indeed he is.

[@hauntboy]

Love the sarcasm. He says everything I'd like to say, but in a very subtle and sarcastic manner.

[@foxfuzzbox1541]

Jesus suffered on the the cross for sins we did not commit, and for that we are supposed to be condemned for all eternity, except that it didn't work. We are supposedly as guilty as ever. I ask: What's the god damned deal about that?!

[@XeroK00L]

Can't put my beliefs in atheism any better than you, patcondell. You are the enlightenment. You are the truth. You are love.

[@chriswalsh8567]

BRILLIANT..LOVE your vids Pat..u have no idea how they cheer me up when I feel I need it..keep it up mate (Y)

[@rozperry9986]

Meaning of life is to love, procreate, nurture then die......... circle of life 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@JanetNicoleGregory]

If Hell, eternal torture, and damnation do exist... For the sake of my own personal happiness, sanity, and self-identity that's a risk I'm willing to take!

[@Airgutter87]

Thank you, sir... I thought all older folks were religious, lol... Great speech..

[@tresamusant7633]

life is a joke death is the punchline

[@pigginpete]

Bloody marvellous Pat, I am a catholic myself or should I say was you said it all in a nutshell mate, thanks

[@danw1374]

Clark Spent That's why I love the life of brian.

[@lovebanditt]

He's such a clever and witty man, fraught with ironic humor.I enjoy most of his videos.

[@freethinker40]

Lol Pat, Darned! , well said!....Keep preaching it! Love your presentations... :)

The meaning of life: "To enjoy life and help others enjoy life."

[@AussieEvonne]

Dude, I've just discovered your vids (or, vlogs really) and I must say I'm a fan. You speak entertainingly, succinctly, intelligently, and with humour. And so far I agree with what you're saying. Good work.

[@Driscol69]

He is leading people to the truth that most intelligent people already know...

[@hquillin]

Pat as to the big question of Why, all I can say for sure is , IS, JUST IS, others as you know have had different reasons, JOY, WEALTH, POWER, SEX, AND FATE, and I think all 4 of us can add just to show off how smart we are. Harold Eugene Quillin

[@maciekur]

True. Un-like the popular stereotype of religious people being close minded-ones there are in fact plenty of (in not more) Christians who are opened minded people as much there are plenty of atheist people who are close minded and preachy . I think preaching and trying to make somebody to change his mind (in both cases atheists and religious people) is wrong. Im a Christian and I get along fine with my atheist friends and we respect each other very much. Why cant the world be like this?

[@Qillz]

The bit about not talking you out of having an open mind is genius!

[@hquillin]

ArritsDrivingMeNuts, NeonShimmer and I have visited Pat Condell’s video God is not enough and have responded. My father told me it takes all kinds of people to make a world. Also he suggested you did not have to be dis-a-gree-able in order to disagree. Harold Eugene Quillin

[@keithsimpson3078]

This all dawned on me 60+ years ago as a young seminarian; the full impact did not happen overnight but the initial gut feeling started then, while training to be an R.C. priest. Actually, even as a small boy, I never really believed in it. Around the age of 6/7/8, you gradually realise that there is no Father Xmas and no Tooth-Fairy either but your Catholicism sticks with you even though you do not see, in your child's mind, why your religion is valid still. After all, there is your headmistress, a nun at school and then at grammar school, there is the headmaster, with grey hair and a kindly smile - an Irish Christian Brother. There is the parish priest who you serve Mass for, Sunday after Sunday - all believers, or so it would seem. So hang on in there, Keith and do as they say and pray for the GIFT of FAITH, like they say you should.... and everything will turn out right. EXCEPT that………. ermmmmmm………… NOPE..! ……………………….....everything did not turn out right, at least vis-à-vis any vindication of faith. I left the seminary at 18 and slowly, very slowly it all fell into place. The weekend I left was the first step; I did not go to Mass - a huge step for a hitherto observant Catholic schoolboy. From that day on, I grew ever bolder and eventually dismissed all the b.s. that we had had thrust down our throats by our teachers, the nuns and the Irish Christian Brothers who were many things, dear old fellows, BUT Christian. I thought it was just me that thought like that; just me that had apostasised. But NO...! Roll on a few decades, the 60's 70's 80's 90'sand the noughties.... and what have we now...? THE INTERNET....! We have the Internet and contact with other, like-mindeds such as this sooooo articulate Mr. Condell...! Isolation over. Great.................................! And THANK-YOU Pat.................! Keith MANCHESTER

[@hunisbeast]

haha the first 2 sentences came out your mouth and i thought.. damn this guy is good.

There is a huge difference between a theocracy, and a democracy that is open to the voice of those citizens whose philosophy is grounded on biblical principles, and whose approach has promoted a freedom of expression that we both have.

@friedie1jeff funny how after i write a song and play it for someone, they'll usually say something like "what a depressing song, why are you so bitter and pessimistic" yet completely overlooking the fact that I wrote a song...hope that answers your question.

If he could only see Miramar today? All in the name of ridding the world of a horrible ideology!

[@frankday1234]

What you're doing here Pat? You're making a difference mate,and you're right about heaven too, aaaaaawhat sort of place is it where you can't have a pint or two in good company? Keep it up for now sir, when sanity reigns you'll be needed in the cabinet.

[@lockleaze]

I love this man. He’s bang on with just how stupid religion is.

[@ZaneRaptor]

Yes, I am reminded of The Master of Disguise "Get it? Got it? Good!" Bwhahaha!

[@Caradoc51]

Mr Condell, please keep it up.

[@andy-the-gardener]

i'd like to hear condells opinion on the religion of infinite economic growth. surely its the religion of our times. but is it a religion? who are the priesthood you ask? its assumed as true by every economist, politician and media spokesperson, across the spectrum of politics! its never questioned for a second even though its BS of the highest order. infinite economic growth, even though its impossible, is questioned about as much as the existence of god in the 16th century! go for it pat.

[@sirderam1]

I'm not aware that he was ever physically abused, but he was raised as a Roman Catholic so we know for sure that he was mentally abused.

[@freee4alll]

You're so interesting to listen to!

[@MrKobyCheese]

GOD IS ENOUGH!!!!!! :) God + Nothing = EVERYTHING!! God bless

[@sajbrown]

To find happyness through facing and overcoming our weaknesses and by standing up for what is right regardless of the consequences. This give us something to do, to acheive and to live ofr, our idea of what is right and wrong. I think if you find that, and then stand for what is right, then you will feel fulfilled and wil be happy. Peace brother.

[@phoenix20401]

i been watching pats videos and having discussions with people about his views. i am a christian and yet i agree with a lot pat says. i personally believe there is no reason why i cannot have a belief in the divine and at the same time be tolerant and open minded about everyone and everything.

[@DennisStevens-mp2kk]

The meaning of life is that life has whatever meaning you give it.

[@newperve]

Pat you might want to see Stefbot's videos "The Meaning of Life Part One: Meaninglessness", "The Meaning of Life Part Two: Identity as heroine" "The Meaning of Life -- Part Three: Integrity as Salvation".

[@euft30]

a short summary of the sources include, but are not limited too:Tacitus, a Roman historian. Thallus. pliny the younger. Lucian, a greek rhetorician. Flavius Josephus, a prominent jewish historian. And of course, the Jewish Talmud and there's many more. so it does exist and you cant deny it.

"Not a huge amount, just enough to kill a horse." That's why I love you, pat.

[@MagdaThomas]

i love this , i am looking forward to 6000 years of pure bliss

[@tjingwerson]

Mr Pat Condell The greatest proof sir is changed lives, the dispicable becoming honorable or one man... just even one, living a perfect live. This beyond all things, even mountains moving or water turning to wine is the greatest proof of the power of God in a world where we constantly wrong each other.

[@Arocks014]

@Kuralthys I'm sorry if my sister offended you with her comments. I know she went overboard. As Christians my sister and I have been told not to judge people of their wrong doings but to focus on our own mistakes Matthew 7:3 (If you have a bible your welcome to read that reference.) my sister is still too young to remember that.

[@johnbonafede3231]

Good on you Pat, we hereby elect you our (non-Christians) advocate for judgement Day. I'm Buddhist, and we believe the truth is within yourself: Nice and harmless.

[@dnd1999]

Roll the cheese down a hill. Chase the cheese. Catch the cheese. What have you got ? That's right cheese ! Cheese actually exists. "BEHOLD the power of Cheese !"

[@000SMITH000]

"....not a huge amount, just enough to kill a horse." LOL LOL ......Pat, you are the man! Never stop!

[@Andarthiel]

Death cult is possibly the most accurate description I've heard.

[@walsht2011]

The meaning of life is to wonder what the hell the meaning of life really is. There, I said it. Great video, man. I really enjoyed it, and it made me laugh and gave me a new, fresher perspective on life.

[@jamesmcguckin6288]

Your here to entertain us and that’s the real reason of your being. Keep it up. I love it for the joy you bring to me and many others. ✌️

[@ThatLoudGuyMike]

Heres the meaning of life Pat: Enjoy life as much as you can while you can, as long as its not at the expense of someone else.

[@richardmabe4186]

Religion does lend itself well to comedy.

[@joemomma863]

Our purpose is to live and enjoy it for as long you can, because it is the only thing you have.

[@matfros]

The meaning of life: Live, Love, and Propagate.

[@terradraca]

I have a bit of an advantage. I used to be religious but not anymore so I DO know the wonderful feeling of belief and all that. Trust me, it's got nothing on knowing the truth. Nothing in the slightest.

[@Reformchick]

I thank the God you curse for saving me from a life of endless, narcissistic snarkiness and pretension.

[@joelelbonito]

God is love.God loves to Pat Condell.

[@ggcage]

The purpose of humanity was to love and worship God. True love and worship requires us to choose God which requires free will. Free will by definition requires there to be a possibility to make the wrong decision. Sin is not choosing God. If God had created us so that we could not sin then it would not truly be free will and hence defeat the entire purpose of creation.

[@ggcage]

Religion doesn't take away the worth from life. God sacrificing His Son really makes human life infinitely valuable. Most people will tell you that democracy is the best form of government and that if you look at history it's obvious. However we still have to send kids to school to learn about why our freedoms are so priceless.

[@44jackhammer]

you are amazing. is there somewhere i can download these?

[@ggcage]

Part 2 The reason God saved us the way He did was so he could forgive us without being unjust. It is not just to just forgive a criminal and let him go. This is why God, in order not to violate His nature, decided to take the punishment for us so He could be merciful and just at the same time. You see, when Jesus died on the cross, God died on the cross. I know it sounds weird but God can be at more than one place at a time.

[@telboy1966manu]

Great vid Pat, very eloquent and witty, I salute you sir!!

[@AlanIsHarmony]

It's a very good question. And on from that, someone (Stephen Jay Gould?) wondered; if you removed all of human development and you wanted to reconstruct it to bring us to our current state, at what point would you decide that it was appropriate to introduce religion into the mix?

[@Rotang2012]

Love what Pat's doing with these videos. Lucid and visceral all at once. I can't wait for the day when we're free of wishful thinking bigots, hankering after an imaginary celestial theme park in an imaginary afterlife; hey, it may be true, but so could the flying spaghetti monster. I doubt superstition will really ever go away, not while we're still frightened of the dark...

[@dgr812]

Pat Condell is one of the most decent people on KZbin. He speaks the truth - very eloquently - and if you guys don't get it then that's your problem.

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Life is like a pencil. It doesn't have a point until you give it one.

[@unabnats]

I would also insist on pleasant music, colorful quirky costumes, lots of bling (shiny stuff), beautiful paintings and statues, and several fun holidays with lots of good food, wine, and, in your case, beer. Grand architectural edifices would be nice as well. Then again, if we just got rid of 99% of Christian dogma, we'd have all that now.

[@2MixFix]

You mean the Catholic hell has nothing to do with Dante's 9 Circles? Well, that's a relief. "The Inferno" was required reading at my "secular" high school, and let me tell you, that shit gave me nightmares for weeks!

[@womblewandering]

i agree gatekeeper God maybe is not a physical being but is in fact, a combo of positive light, energy, love etc :)

[@sharc00]

@theringleader1 you are absolutely correct! Too many people don't really know what they believe but are more than willing to be led into a position and then want to defend it feverishly despite not having any facts. It's more about being 'found right' than finding the truth. Theists and athiests alike. Good to see we agree on 'some' things. ...didn't hurt at all... :)

[@wilsonflores9367]

The thing about religion and belief in a super natural intelligent designer is that it holds a great deal of power and influence in all levels of the conscience mind. Going against it can be very dangerous. It's best to share your beliefs with like minded people only. Just my humble opinion.
