Some Q & A from his site:
Q: Why do you hate faith?
A: Why do you hate reality?
Q: What do you think of Buddhists/Hindus/Sikhs/Jedi etc.?
A: I have no problem with any of them, as last time I checked they weren't trying to take over the world.
Q: Do you use a teleprompter or read from a script?
A: No. I know what I’m going to say. I don’t need to read it.
Q: Why don’t you answer comments to your videos?
A: I get an avalanche of e-mails every day and I reply to as many of those as I can. If I started replying to comments as well I’d have no time for anything else.
Q: You don’t know what it means to have faith.
A: I don’t know what it means to you, and I don’t want to know. That’s kind of the point.
Q: You don’t understand Christianity/Islam.
A: I don’t understand smallpox or typhoid either, and I’m equally disinclined to get acquainted with them.
Q: Why shouldn’t I be allowed to raise my kids religious if I want to?
A: The same reason you shouldn’t be allowed to beat them with a knotted rope.
Q: By antagonising religious people, aren’t you making it less likely they’ll agree with you?
A: I don’t want them to agree with me. I want them to shut up and maybe see a doctor.
Q: How do you respond to atheists who say you're too crude and simplistic?
A: They're probably right, as usual.
Q: Are you academically qualified?
A: No. I left school at sixteen. My first job was washing dishes in the revolving restaurant on top of the Post Office tower in London for five shillings an hour.
Q: Do you support the BNP?
A: No. I don't support any political party, especially not one of the far right.
Q: How do you vote in elections?
A: I usually vote 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.
Q: Why do you attack Christianity when Islam is a bigger threat?
A: Because our indulgence of Christianity has encouraged Islam to claim equal status and threaten our freedom.
Q: I live in the American Bible Belt, and I’m afraid of social repercussions if I tell people I’m an atheist.
A: Well, I guess you’ll have to spend the rest of your life living a lie. Good luck with that.
Q: No, seriously. People would treat me like some kind of leper.
A: Take it as a compliment.
Q: My friends would disown me.
A: What friends?
Q: My family business would suffer.
A: OK, you win.
Q: I’d lose my job.
A: All right, we get it.
Q: Which books would you recommend?
A: All my favourite books are listed here.
Q: Can I book you as a guest on my radio/TV show?
A: No thanks. I’ve got better things to do than explain myself over and over again.
Q: Prove God doesn’t exist.
A: That’s a tough one. Show me how it’s done by proving Zeus and Apollo don’t exist, and I’ll use your method.

Reality is always a winner!
One thing that always bothered me, is why we put the human race up on such a high pedestal, but we treat other life forms such as animals as comodities to be exploited . The bible is much to blame for this for saying god made all other creatures for the pure use and convenience of mankind.I cn tell you that many homans are not worth much at all and many animals have a kinder spirit than many humans so ...we should not be looking and acting as though we own the world , but that we share it with other living creatures and we are all part of nature.
Abortion is murder? I dont see it this way at all. Its a form of birth control thats all. But life is so "holy", it becomes murder to interrupt a fertilized egg, but its not murder to kill billlions of animals in a cruel way(animal factories) just for our consumption or enjoyment (hunting for ex). aereal killing of wolv...

What are your views on this Pat?
I bet he has read lots of good books.
Thank you for posting.
Most religions really suck when it comes to these issues!
Which puts me in opposition to this guy AND lots of christians.
Plus being basically a pacifist and I am hugely unpopular!
