Title: Top Ten anti Religion Comic routines
Post by: Walt Zingmatilder on June 26, 2015, 09:46:38 PM
Thanks to taking up Savillerows challenge to sit through 3 episodes of The Atheist Experience (am about a third of the way through) Youtube recommended The Top Ten anti religion comic routines:

The list is as follows:

10: Richard Pryor
9: Lewis Black
8: Eddie Griffin
7: Doug Stanhope
6: Jim Jefferies
5: Chris Rock
4:Bill Maher
3: Bill Hicks
2: Louis CK
1: George Carlin

So without further ado let's run down the top ten

At Number ten Richard Pryor was apparently due to go on stage but was reluctant to because he felt a little funny.

His manager said ''you better get on stage before it wears off''

At Number nine Lewis Black was apparently due to go on stage but was reluctant to because he felt a little funny.

His manager said ''you better get on stage before it wears off''

At Number Eight Eddie Griffin was apparently due to go on stage but was reluctant to because he felt a little funny.

His manager said ''you better get on stage before it wears off''

At Number Seven Doug Stanhope was apparently due to go on stage but was reluctant to because he felt a little funny.

His manager said ''you better get on stage before it wears off''

In at six Jim Jefferies was apparently due to go on stage but was reluctant to because he felt a little funny.

His manager said ''you better get on stage before it wears off''

At Number five Chris Rock was apparently due to go on stage but was reluctant to because he felt a little funny.

His manager said ''you better get on stage before it wears off''

Thank goodness for that - that should see us well into autumn now before Vlad tells us his joke again.

The word "hate is used far too loosely:  " to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest."  Just" dislike" is mostly enough.  The vile murders we have seen today can be ascribed to true hatred, not merely dislike.

Frequently yes, but I really do think Vlad is fuelled by hatred.

I think this is an example of how we interpret peoples' motives as we read them online, when in reality, in "real life," they would not appear at all like that.

Would you like it spelled properly, or the way you did it?

Excellent!  You spotted my deliberate mistake:  cut the lines to 90.

Some of the more extreme Christians on this forum come over as rather lacking in the brain department, or they might just see how stupid their comments really are! ::)

Vlad was apparently due to attempt a humorous post but was reluctant to because he felt a little funny.

His friend said ''you better get on with it before it wears off''.

So he did.
Unfortunately by the time he posted it was obvious that he had hesitated just a bit too long!
