Pat Condell's pretty good at offering a grounded and witty perspective. His battle does seem to wear on him at times, though.

Or he was scared you might be wearing them to get a better punch...

I wish. Closest I've got is a bitching global cooking knife. Damn thing will cut a lobster in two without even slowing down.

Oh yeah, well my Ginsu can cut through an aluminum can just like that. *snapping fingers*
...and it still can cut a hardened tomato paper thin!
Now to get my Scam (I mean "Sham")-Wow!

Aye, religion is pretty useless. I, for my part know that there is demiurgic something, a Creator, because that's the simplest answer for the question "who created the universe?".* But it stops there. Chants, masses, prayers, donations, monasteries and priesthood, etc., are useless shit.
Actually the problem is that most people mix up the concept of 'demiurge' with that of 'god'. There certainly must be a demurgic power; there certainly is no need for god or gods.**
Oh my, I'll burn in Hell?
*Yes, I know, here it comes: "Who created the Creator, then?" Well, I never said that the universe and its Creator may not be the same...

Useless? Most apparently not. Isn't it enough to say YOU don't have a use for it?:D
Let me know when science has figured out a harmless alternative for the power of belief in something more, the power of mere hope in a future that may never arrive, and a surrogate for unanswered questions, denial of facts because one is too weak to handle the truth, the power of giving and selflessness, etc.
Anger? Bitterness? Hatred of abusive authority and powermongers? All legitimate, certainly. Call a spade a spade, though. Tell it like it is.

Can you rephrase what you just said so that it makes some kind of sense?
