Soddies get up British priest's nose - His reply; "Piss Off" (Video)

#4  I took the time to review many of Condell's videos last night and was disappointed to see how mercilessly he bashes Christianity. While he does, indeed, reserve his most scornful criticism for radical Islam, nowhere does he indicate any realization that the world's population of "moderate" Muslims ranks with that of the unicorn.

His suggestion that Israel gain world approbation by surrendering Jerusalem to the Arabs is facile at best. As an athiest, he is wholly entitled to slam religion full force. I'll grant that he does give due measure to the actual words of Jesus but just as frequently—and not without cause—uses them to lambaste most Christians on the spot. It would seem as if he subscribes to Nitchze's view that, "The last true Christian died on the cross."

I also consider him as being far too hasty to bash American intervention in Iraq and the MME (Muslim Middle East), solely as imperialist venturism and not any legitimate effort to eliminate oppressive regimes or—at the very least—mitigate Islamic terrorism. To be sure, the man is exceptionally articulate and has a very wicked sense of humor. I just think his formidable talents would be better off directed at—what is currently—the more significant threat of Islamic theocracy and its terrorist handmaidens.

#2  Pat Condell is always great. But "British priest"? He's a pretty vehement atheist.
