Pat Condell

[Sophus]

What do you make of him? Too much? I have to say some of his language seems dangerous. I agree that religion doesn't deserve respect but one could interpret "outright abuse" the wrong way. I definitely didn't agree with his take on the "Ground Zero Mosque".

I think he 'pushes the envelope' quite hard. What he does do is say what other people only dare think, thus he serves a useful outlet for debate as there is 'many  a true word spoken in jest'.

I like his forthrightness, I wonder what he does away from youtube, he would never be able to hold a public sector job once his employers saw his channel.

Edit: I like this man's politics

Q: How do you vote in elections?
A: In the past I've always voted for the fattest candidate on the basis that they'll take up more room on the House of Commons benches thereby giving me more democracy for my valuable franchise, but now that Britain is being turned into a vassal state of a federal Europe I'll be voting UKIP.

He's a writer and a comedian in the UK.

I read that he used to stand up and a few other bits, but I think his youtube videos have gained him much more notoriety.

He does seem to have become more radical this last year. His rant on the ground zero mosque was based on faulty info, which i was surprised at.

There's better atheist YouTubers out there in my opinion.

[Whitney]

He seems to have been getting worse (imo) so I think he just likes the publicity and will go to the extreme just to maintain his image even if he knows what he is saying is not necessarily true.  I don't like him and find him anti-productive.

[Dretlin]

His videos can be entertaining and only occasionally are thought provoking.

In my opinion, he has provided zero evidence for too many claims to be taken seriously.

[Alexander]

He's a bit 'in your face', but good nevertheless. Some things he says are what other atheists have wanted to say in a long time, but were too afraid of being judged and persecuted by Christians. Personally, I prefer the 'politer' YouTubers like Zinnia Jones, but Mr. Condell is still worth watching.

[Saeriva]

I subscribe to his youtube channel and in general I like his videos, he's very eloquent and that natural talent for speech keeps his videos interesting even when they push the six minute mark. Is he a bit extreme? Sure, but I suppose someone has to be the angry, charismatic mouthpiece that inspires others to take up a torch that doesn't burn quite so violently. Like Alexander said, a lot of Pat's videos say what other atheists say to themselves in anger, or to each other, but fear saying it in public. It makes his channel kind of cathartic...

[xSilverPhinx]

I find his wit amusing, but as for the content of his videos, not as dangerous or dramatic as he wants to put out.

I respect his aggressiveness though and willingness to not respect things that really don't deserve any respect such as dangerous beliefs.

[Jolly Sapper]

He's living proof that Atheists are both passionate, emotional, and as is the case with all other humans, prone to the same shortcomings.  

I generally like his stuff, though I have been very lazy in keeping up with my YouTube subscriptions so I haven't watched anything terribly recent.

[darkcyd]

I seem to like his videos and calling Islam out for the cancer that it is. I also like his view of free speech and understanding that to have you need some thick skin. Quite thicker than the average muslim could hope to have. Christians don't particularly like people making fun of god but Montey Python and George Carlin have at least softened them up so they aren't lynched.

[palebluedot]

He is an excellent speaker.

But I wouldnt have the guts to say the things he does
