প্যাট্রিক কন্ডেলকে নিয়ে আমার মুগ্ধতা ক্রমবর্ধমান। এই ভিডিওটি স্রেফ অসাধারণ! অপূর্ব! দুর্দান্ত!
লক্ষ্য করুন, ভিডিওটি সাবটাইটেলসহ দেখার ব্যবস্থা আছে।
বেশ কিছু বাক্য উদ্ধৃত করার প্রলোভন উপেক্ষা করা সত্যিই দুষ্কর:
And because it (religion) claims divine authority, demanding unconditional submission and obedience from outside the bounds of reason, it despises democracy as much as it despises women and homosexuals...
...
Public religion exists for the sole benefit of clergy, and clergy exist for the sole benefit of clergy, and this is a pivotal point to understand.
...
Personal faith, spirituality, whatever you want to call it, doesn't need to be administered and policed by a privileged class of clerical fascists...
...
...their (clergy's) poxy religion is all about guilt and submission and obedience, not enlightenment, are you kidding? That's the last thing they want because enlightened people don't need clergy.
...
...
Obedience is your foundation. Of course it is. It has to be, because the alternative is for you to look into your own heart, and that's the last place these parasites (clergy) want you looking because that's where the bullshit detector is.
...
... the words 'religion' and 'moral' don't even belong in the same sentence, any more than the words 'creation' and 'science', or 'Islamic' and 'education', or 'biblical' and 'sense'.
...
We all know the Catholic Church doesn't like birth control, which is a little odd, as it favours just about every other form of control, but to knowingly give false information about life and death issues to people who are compelled to obey, as the Pope did a few months ago, and as Catholic clergy do quite routinely in Africa, is cynical and inhuman, and should be treated as attempted murder.
...
... they (clergy) tell us that we don't even belong in this world. We're far too good for this sinful place, because we're sacred and special. Yeah right. We're so special we've got to spend our whole lives on our knees apologising for stuff that we had nothing to do with.
...
And while you're down there apologising for your existence as usual why not take a second to ask yourself a pretty obvious question to me: Who benefits from your faith in the here and now where it actually counts? Who reaps the earthly rewards, as opposed to the less tangible heavenly ones in the happy-ever-after land that you've been promised?
...
Meanwhile, where are you? Still on your knees praying for salvation, by any chance? Well, if so, keep it up, because your favourite televangelist needs to buy himself a new private jet with your money, in Jesus' name, of course.
...
In the meantime, turn to religion if you really have to for comfort, if it's all you've got to lean on. But whatever you do, don't turn to religion for the truth. Religion doesn't know the truth, and these men are living proof of that.
