Gah!
That's the Alan Moore.

Outstanding! I propose that henceforth 1gm devote itself exclusively to videos of Alan Moore's occultist ramblings.
on a side note, do not use the buddha as a backdrop!
Bush's religions faith is just for show...
Better Moore's ramblings than the church's...:)
At least he admitted it is a choice that we each must individually make. Spirituality is a fine thing as it is a personal glue of beliefs you know you've chosen to help guide you. Religion is accepting beliefs handed to you and then forgetting that you ever made a choice.
Moore gets more respect from me than any evangelical ever will.
Thanks for the posting Norm!
Take stock of those around and you will… hear them talk in precise terms about themselves and their surroundings, which would seem to point to them having ideas on the matter. But start to analyse those ideas and you will find that they hardly reflect in any way the reality to which they appear to refer, and if you go deeper you will discover that there is not even an attempt to adjust the ideas to this reality. Quite the contrary: through these notions the individual is trying to cut off any personal vision of reality, of his own very life. For life is at the start a chaos in which one is lost. The individual suspects this, but he is frightened at finding himself face to face with this terrible reality, and tries to cover it over with a curtain of fantasy, where everything is clear. It does not worry him that his “ideas” are not true, he uses them as trenches for the defense of his existence, as scarecrows to frighten away reality. Jose` Ortega Y Gasset
Steven Moore was great, I enjoyed that segment a great deal.
Wow, Alan Moore is not just some bum off the street, he's actually quite an accomplished writer of comics (most famous work is V for Vendetta)

I live as an foreigner on a small scale island in the caribean. Government is for a big deal based on biblical decision. Its horrific. The people, at least the locals, see themselves as 'the electic', because the sun always shines and there never is one hurricane that hits the island, while satanic Cuba is blown to pieces every year. Strangers are banned, or abused, like in the case of poor workers from Colombia and Venezuela. I really could go on and on. Gay marriage is banned as is off course euthanasia and abortion. Meanwhile the ruling politicians are offcours corrupt as hell and has the mother country released and official statement about the quality of government on the island. I should stop. Note that i do support the idea that religion does more harm to the world than it does good. Thomas
