God: "The Guy is in over His Head Now."

You've gotta love some Kevin Bridges. Make America Great again. (There is swearing within both of these, so beware.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlaWolAXlXw A bit more on his thoughts on God, and Joseph in particular (audio) - it's classic: I'll throw

Philosophy Gags

Philosophy Gags

Time to share some philosophical jokes. Here's my philosophical joke, the only one I remember consistently: A travelling professor enters a philosophy faculty. He sees all the students really pander to and look after this one particular professor, giving him all his needs. He finds this odd and

UK Supermarket Sacks Man for Sharing Comic Sketch Mocking Religion

This is not something you often hear about in the UK and so it has come as a little bit of a surprise to me. If you can't mock religion, then you are ring-fencing a worldview and inoculating it from analysis and criticism. There are certainly some freedom

Theology and Black Cats

“Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat. Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there. Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn'

All Things Bright and Beautiful

The classic English hymn is part of our cultural heritage. The most awesome Stewart Lee rips into it. Love it: Ahhh, here he is again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGteih2oElQ And: And another - here is a documentary he did on blasphemy: And on Islam, with his typical

The Good Place Series: Swearing

Warning: there is swearing in this piece. Obviously. I have got into the Netflix series The Good Place, thanks to fellow ATPer Jeremiah Traeger. It's well worth a watch for its philosophical content, dealing with it with a light-hearted touch. As a result, I am going to use

Mitchell and Webb and Religion - Atheist Comedy

I did promise these some time ago. Some good old British ribbing of religion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uefDgWq5aQc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIVB3DdRgqU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LXCZRpxHpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWEyY0vl4-w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUbjpwyesk0 https:

Brilliant Philosophical Comic on the Trolley Problem

This is nigh on genius.

Steep Canyon Rangers' Atheist Hymnal

This has been around for a few years, but well worth a listen. Tee hee! [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wogta8alHiU[/youtube] I have seen some comments here and there from religionists who seem to think that Steve Martin is attacking atheists. This is clearly, to me, a

God created all that is horrible

God created all that is horrible

You can't beat it when such incisive atheology is delivered in such a trivial and comedic way: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPriOQkKd6k[/youtube] Well done the Pythons!

Bill Burr tells it like it is

This was exactly what I espoused here in my piece "Why do normal people believe ridiculous things?" Except way way funnier. The art about curling is sublime. H/T Rebecca Bradley or Beth Ann Erickson (one of my esteemed colleagues) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IcQRItOdk&

Correlation causation comic

I love this xkcd comic: Which shows the pragmatic problem with pulling apart folk notions of causation. Your world starts falling apart.

The Atonement properly ridiculed

OK, so we know that Nonstampcollector is genius. His return to for in this one is great, especially when the angels visit Jesus in the tomb at around 5 minutes or so.

I have posted this some time back. If you don't mind Aussie swearing, then watch this diamond piece of comedy: http://youtu.be/wjUQR3Z7FHU
