Dave talked more sense about the fallacies of believing in a mythical god than anyone before or since. No hatred. No swearing, no box-thumping rants, just brilliant humour and more truth than can ever be found in any so-called holy text.
I'd seen the odd routine of Dave Allen when I was growing up and enjoyed it, but it was only after he died that I got a DVD of him. I loved it from the get-go, and got the only other DVD available soon after. His material is very clever. It's rare for me to not like one of his jokes. This collection is particularly outstanding.
Those were the days when you were free to laugh at the absurdity of religion. In fact those were the days you were allowed to laugh at most things in life and understand that a joke is just a joke. I'm surprised we still have comedians around today as people are so easily offended by every little thing. I admit I have heard some jokes that are below the belt but I don't get offended or upset ffs... I take them for what they are... jokes!! Lighten up people and let's start making fun of everything again 🥳
Respectfully I’m think your thoughts about other people and judging them is very negative. Live and let live. A lot of my family have worked and still are great friends with families from Jamaica,India,Pakistan,Angola,Kenya,Africa and I’ve Jamaican grandchildren. We’re a happy positive family from the fifties and sixties and will continue to be so - and we’ve all been to university and had a great careers. It’s not all negative it’s what people think and say - this doesn’t help society with negative thoughts.
❤. My Grandma, a Saint, and of Blessed Memory, said, (circa 1910+), "You will be surprised who you will find in heaven!" This was a woman who everyone universally loved, of all religions and ethnicities, even each one of her sons/daughters-in-law loved her; so go figure. My Grandma, of blessed memory, a Saint.Every year her birthday was a great family gathering of hundreds of her descendants. When she passed away at 101, the family fell apart. She kept them united. She was a real peacemaker.

An other "story" from up north ASK and EMBLA put in MIDGARD created at the SAME TIME ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-53jZlqCfTZ0.htmlsi=YkaX71WDLK6SbBor One can truly say the subject is very complicated but yet simply very easy to solve 💖
I remember watching him as a child on TV.......at the time there was alot of the jokes I didn't understand but the routine where he attended the convent school I got
I remember as a child sitting in a Catholic Mass when my dad said during the epistle: Letter from Paul to the Corinthians..."I wonder if the Corinthians ever wrote back?" I was 7 years old and erupted into laughter. A nun took me outside and beat me!
Golf & Cemetaries- two biggest waste of prime realestate...at least they could combine them into one location, eh!

Gawd dang it! Will somebody ☆PLEASE☆ submit their evidence to the Nobel Committee, for verification that GOD even exists? Remember, the burden of PROOF is on the entity/person claiming that something is TRUE. So, don't ask me to prove that GOD doesn't exist, because in the absence of any legitimate proof being presented thus far for millenniums now, no verifiable proof/ repeatable by anyone's test procedure to prove the hypothesis has surfaced to convince me! "I believe", " I feel" - personal revolations are not valid research. The corrupt, interpreted so many different ways and languages to suit the writers, unverifiable story origins - Holy Bible editions through the ages, is not valid Data. Just look at the KING JAMES version of the Bible, Numbers 23:22, God is compared to never-existed mythological Unicorns! Considered beautiful or cute things like rainbows and puppies/kittens - are not evidence of a God either! "God works in mysterious ways", is inadmissible in the Court of reason and logic! Come on, someone do it, and collect a $1 MILLION PRIZE, and fame! Then we can end all this debate, and have the obediant heaven on earth God wants, right! There are so many believers, and religious scholars in the world, this should be accomplished pretty quickly, and easily! Maybe by January 1st, 2025, there should be plenty of time for something so well known, eh! Go! 😅 I said, " Please" at the beginning! Proof that an omnipotent, benevolent, caring, loving fatherly - GOD, the religions tell us exists - doesn't. Here's the proof: Innocent children, filling beds in St. JUDE'S and Shriner's Hospitals, suffering from cancers and birth defects, struggling to survive, struggling to be healthy and functional, and mostly suceeding (1 in 5 children still die from cancer in St. JUDE'S hospitals) 4 of 5 children only survive due to the intervention of people using medical science, not given to use by religion, but created by men! Why all this grief for families going through this suffering with their children, by the being who created everything, even cancer! Nope, this "wonderful" God, does not exist, as evident by so many innocent children dying due to medical issues, he could not prevent, or fix with what must be countless prayers sent his way, to stop this! There's your proof that a wonderful God doesn't exist. And don't even get me started on why innocent animals who never ate an Apple in the Garden of Eden, also have to suffer! If you still want to insist this God exists, then let's talk about all the crimes against humanity he's responsible for, according to the Bible, including world-wide drowning, killing all innocent 1st born children of Egypt (unless blood of some poor slaughtered innocent animal was smeared over the door) as a lesson to the Evil Pharroah, instead of just killing the Pharroah and sending his ass to hell! So many more... And, let's also say that if this God does exist (he doesn't) who created everything, let's give him full credit for this in KJV Holy bible Aishaia 45:7, for his admitting to create "Evil" as part of his grand "Creative Design" plan! Yup, no paradise would be complete without "Evil" to muck it up! That's just a wee-bit of a spoiler, to include all kinds of crimes and dishonesty, eh! Thanks God, for metaphorically giving children matches to play with, then watching them burn down the house, eh! Lovely! So, if you are making the argument that God does exist and have the evidence, also hand it over to Criminal Procesutors please! God will have some 'splaining to do! Nope, not some kind, wonderful, benevolent, caring Father at all according to the Bible, just a munipulative, evil, money hungry, narcissistic (worship me), made in man's image!😮 Bonus Bible lesson, KJV Isahiah 45:7 God brags, "I CREATED...EVIL". So you need to prove God even exists, before we can logically move on to Jesus being the Son of God, and all the Jesus mythology then proven! Can I get a witness!

Dave Allen was a lovely chap. Back in the 1960s, he did a week at my Dad's cabaret club in Nottingham UK. I was only about 10 at the time and went to watch the show. Afterwards he came to see my Dad and they sat and had a drink together. I sat on Dave's knee. He never swore or cussed. He was just a lovely Irish family man. I will always hold him in high esteem ❤❤❤❤
Easy to make gibes and take cheap jokes at a religion which is not there to defend itself ..Easy to get a cheap laugh at things which people hold sacred ..One day you will have to meet your God ...
