Religion
Religion is Ritualized Panic About Death
“Death is coming, quick! Put on the hats!” Dylan Moran of the hilarious show Black Books considers religion in his stand-up:
Oh PS: I’ll be at Birmingham Skeptics in the Pub TOMORROW (Tuesday) at 7:45 pm! Be there!
Love love love this routine. Dylan is a genius, seen him live twice and he’s had me sliding out of my seat with laughter on both occasions.
Love his comments about Berlusconi too – funny as hell.
Could not agree more on the crooked Berlusconi!
Thanks for the vid, Rebecca. I envy all of you who have seen him live..
I love Dylan Moran so much. Black Books is one of my all-time favorite shows, and his stand-up is absolutely brilliant! It takes a unique mind to, when looking for a way to show just how much dishonor you would take before death, comes up with, “I would, in fact, fellate a smurf…”
I believe you mean “Dylan Moran of the hilarious movie Shaun of the Dead”. ;)
“I prayed and the fairy came,” I love that line.
Unfortunately he does go on to say that science doesn’t work either, followed by a gross mischaracterization of evolution.
Still, I recommend watching the whole thing, for those who can.
