Zero Punctuation Review: Halo 3
That is 3:51 of awesomeness. It sounds like Marcus Brigstocke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Brigstocke), a British satirist and comedian. I wonder if he's done anything else.
Religion Bashing!
I dont' think he's necessarily an atheist.... it's not the point anyways... the point is those who use religion as an excuse to hurt others are mucking up life for anyone who doesn't agree with that "logic"
I'm not an atheist at all and neither are any of my friends but damned if we don't all feel outnumbered and outgunned by the very types Brigstocke is talking about.
Plus, he's funny. Dawkins gets tiresome and Hitchens is seriously insulting to anyone who isn't a die-hard atheist.
Religion Bashing!
@honkeytonk73 Well... you totally missed the point of this soapbox. Brigstocke is in no way arguing against the validity of religion (or the non-existence of God for that matter). Gorgonheap has more of the right idea. Brigstocke is saying, stop trying to use your religion as an excuse to adversely affect the lives of others. Whether that be through jihad, crusades, missionary, or law making.
Over-simplified his argument would be, "can't we all just get along?"
Room 101: Marcus Brigstocke - David Blaine & Magic
Room 101 was great, shame Paul Merton has stepped down. I don't know if he's replaceable, I can't imagine anyone doing it. Brigstocke's a decent guy too and I agree with him here!
