I love all of the creative ways people have come up with to deal with this sort of thing.
I love your channel, bros! They're fucking hilarious!
I totally meant you're!!
Justin Bishop Thank you!
OMG I love you channel =3
I get mormons in my area coming up to me, "we're from the church of x, we'd like to talk to you about y".... I like to reply "Oh, wow. That's unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that." Act concerned for their well being, ask if there's any way you can help them get away from the church. I've only gotten away with this once without laughing, but man it really threw them off their game

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Amen
David Bilia yes
hell yeah! XD
Dueling religions?! Break out the Yugioh Cards guys!
HELL YES!

If you mock the boot, you will be booted to heel
nice one lol
+Joe M LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! That's awesome :D
Unless the boot dosent exist
+King Lord of course of course :D
I was aboot to say
Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Kermit the Frog?
I'm a devout follower of the Great Gonzo.
This post made more sense when my profile picture was me in my frog cloak. :/
No u must believe in mr.Peanut
No joe Pesci is our only lord and savior
How about the giant spaghetti monster?
Boot? You blasphemer and heathen! You mock the WAY OF THE WATER BOTTLE! Boots can't give you life-inducing liquid after a walk. The Water Bottle can!
I'm not say it's a good ider but you could fill the boot with rain water and drink it
David Bilia Ah, but boot leaks. How can I worship something that leaks?
Not if it has a waterproof lining.
im a water bottle worshiper, and i hate you, i hate the boot, and the waterproof lining :D
Sure a waterproofed boot can hold water, but it can't provide it and it certainly can't provide "life-inducing" things. Sure it can protect your feet DURING the walk, but who's going to save you when you get to the AFTERWALK?!?!
I tell them the truth. we invented god and its an old explanation for the unexplained before science was perfected.

Seriously, I'm doing the bingo thing. Or heck, maybe a shot game. Every time he says "God's Wrath" everybody has to drink.
You might want to draw a map back home on your hand first, you'll have to do a LOT of drinking.
Forgenshoot Ramen to that. Lol
omg i would love to do this!
Imagine a bunch of stumbling drunk kids. Ha!
That’s the fastest way to drop dead from alcohol poisoning ever.
Debating the religious is like arguing with a brick wall. It is a massive waste of time.
Not to mention, they're closed off from criticism, and refuse to listen to anything.
HEY SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE BRICK WALLS! (I have a sad existence)
You can't convince the ones that are completely indoctrinated - that's a waste of time. The reason you debate them anyway is that those who listen in on the debate might be more on the fence. It is for their benefit that you spend time on this. Also, you could consider it a mental exercise.
Here's the thing. If this is happening in front of a group of people (either as a speaker or on the street), asking questions isn't really to get them to expand their worldview. It tends to not work. But when you ask these questions, you're really just needing to work on the people listening to that idiot.
A lot of the time, they're just sitting there passively listening. When you bring in some common sense, maybe irritate the speaker so that they have to change their script a bit, it restarts the other brains in the room. They start slowly chugging along again. You make them THINK. I don't mean just insulting people or throwing out some meme.
Being honest about your feelings does the trick. Almost all of them will go back to their comfortable ignorance but if you can give people a shock of reality, you've done more than enough.
***** Life is a gift. Many people wanted to wake up today but didn't. Waking up every day in a healthy body and with a healthy mind is something a lot of people would give anything to have. I hope you will soon meet some new friends who will love you unconditionally, and that unspeakable joy will enter into your life. Peace!
Actually, in my freshman year of college, a couple of guys used the third way you mentioned by preaching about a religion centered on Batman, with one of them holding a sign saying, "THE DARK KNIGHT IS LORD."
TheAtticus Productions
OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT RELIGION CALLED I WANNA JOIN XD
I laughed so hard when I say This!!!!
I favor Aphrodite. All men worship Aprodite even though they may not know it, besides she looks good in
a see through nighty.
Also the Invisible Pink Unicorn, whose color is, of course, invisible pink. No one can resist Her Almighty
Horniness.
@@walterbushell7029 I favor Lilith c;
That third advice reminded me of a scene from Life of Brian from Monty Python: he was running away from a mob after he disguised as a preacher to escape from roman soldiers. Then he starts to lose some objects as he rushes the fuck out from there. At first, his sandal breaks apart, so he tosses it away. Then she accidentally drops a jugg of water, etc.
And some of the followers grab these objects and start to worship them, splitting into different factions already to a "startup" religion, something that didn't even exist a few minutes ago.
I love that movie.
Well, it is a fair old movie, but then again, I'm sorry. :(

Find a Harry Potter book and praise the Lord and Saviour Dumbledore and if you dont he will send you to Voldermort.
That was the image in my head. The Potter generation have this great book ;) Harry Potter Thumpers Hit the Campuses
This made my day :D Thank you
give it a hundred or so years, if we haven't driven ourselves to extinction, the Harry Potter books will be the next Bible.
I did this.
Cast away your evil wand for that is not the way....join the jedi order today
People were actually handing out Bibles at my school today. They were right by the cafeteria so that we had to pass them to get to lunch. I wasn't very hungry so I decided to hang out by their table. I then proceeded to very loudly rant about why they should not be there.
Travis The Red ...Please report the presence of the religious people in your school to ffrf.org.
That’s just rude
Well done, sir.
@@jeanetteyork2582 thanks for sharing that link!
you evil
I am an Atheist and my dad is a preacher.
+MrRushSkies I pity you. I hate preachers, generally speaking.
If that isn't something to drive you away from Christianity, I don't know what would be better.
My dad is an atheist.
I never told him since he's the kind of person doesn't handle open mind discussion. Although I kinda feel guilty because I'm constantly lying to him. I still even go to Church.
+MrRushSkies that sound like it sucks, alot of my family are religious while im atheist
+MrRushSkies Dinner must be fun.
+MrRushSkies That is certainly a tough spot to be in. On the one hand, make dad happy and be miserable. On the other hand, tell dad the truth and maybe fracture your relationship forever. Or, take your time and explain why you don't believe, the two of you have a good, long talk and work it out. No matter which way you go, even if you do nothing, it will be difficult. There is a lot of good information here on the internet. Good luck.
Everybody! You are all going to pen-hell, pen-lovers are siners! The only way you can escape this is to worship the pencil!
Buy my book about pencils today, and get rewarded with unlimited pencils in pencil-heaven!
The pencil heaven is called "pencilvania", forgot to mention it ;)
What about virgin pencils? lol
Loler lolić fully sharpened.
Loler lolić Virgin pencils are just pencils that haven't been used yet.
What a shame, but it more shamefull when they are used by a pen lover. >:(
Sorry my religion says I can't write with anything but quills.
Could you spare a moment to talk about The Boy Who Lived?
no
We need the same kind of suggestions for the nice folks who come banging on our front doors, or has it already been done?
I know people who used to invite the door knocking Jehovah's Witnesses into their homes, close the door, and then preach to them about the Norse gods they pretended to worship. "My gods wield war hammers and swords! What is your god's favorite weapon?" "You can't enter Valhalla if you die without a sword in your hand. What are you doing to ensure you get to Valhalla?" Fun and games on a Saturday morning.
A friend of mine opened the door and had his friend play the cry of a goat he had saved on his phone and yell: "If you are done there, could you come over and help me with the goat? It bleeds all over the altar!" And he just smirked creepy at the people and closed the door. They have been coming over so many times before that, but since then never again.
That sounds awesome
@@ValerieRaya Good one!
Liked the "evangelism bingo" idea.
The bingo idea was awesome. :D
Savage, it was. Awesome too.
"If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people" - Gregory House
Who?
Preachers on campus and things like that is so foreign to me since I am from Sweden. Hearing this almost makes me wish I lived in the US just so I could try this methods out, among others. Great tips, stay strong all you US atheists out there!!
God bless you always beloved:)
James Sarvan :)
Smile I hope that was a joke no I really don't care
Thanks dude!
Thanks for the encouragement dude
This man is a great inspiration to the billions of people in the world and he challenges people to think in different and unique ways. He restored a vast majority of my hope for humanity. :)
Billions of people? Are you sure about this?
Ojai.
Lmao
Philip J. Fry That's great because hope a'new is fucking awesome. The trillions who hear this are now better off. I'd say 4,5,maybe 10 solar systems are benefitting from these vid's..
This guy has definitely some past problems that make him want to make these disrespectful videos.
I think I'll create a religion based around Lt. Ellen Ripley... think about it, she's very messiah-y. She fights the dark, evil of the universe (the Xenomorphs), puts the needs of the masses ahead of her own needs, sacrificed herself to save us all, and we eventually resurrected...
Heck, I could even create an eastern-style "zen"-ish religion from the Xenos themselves... a collective hive mind working only for the greater good and propagation of the species...
This shit it just too damned easy...
I like Spartacus, too. Because Spartacus also died on the cross for the "sins" of others. Plus, he actually opposed slavery.
TheZooCrew ....*I'M SPARTACUS!*
Josh Goldberg Yes, that was supposed to be part of the initial comment. I only noticed after I could no longer edit the post that the part that said "and we eventually resurrected..." was supposed to read as "and was eventually resurrected".
My bad for the typo, but kudos to you on knowing your Alien/Xenomorph lore!
Cmon man? Really? Why are you ranking on us? She is a symbol, her death is like jesus' because she saved others. But Jesus died to show the love of God and evil of Lucifer. She died to show the good of man. Still, ripley played a good part. And you have a point. But a blasphemous one.
Epic Roman 88 *facepalm*
There was a street preacher that decided to take over a corner near where I live for about a month, every day he'd be out there yelling. So, I noticed the car parked nearby when he was standing around had a bunch of the typical republican propaganda stickers about takers vs makers and all that crap, so I started rolling down my window and yelling "Get a job!" at him as I'd pass by. Others took up the practice, and he stopped standing on the corner.
Sameish thing on the UVM campus. We have a HUGE lgbtg community, and the rest of the heterosexual population on campus supports them. We make a sport of heckling the jesus crazies, which inevitably congregate, on sunny fall days.
preachers should be got beat by you preacher know how to keep fighting.....they will help you instead
I think my favorite is Damnation Bingo, lol! And you're absolutely right, hell should be the free one in the middle. It seems to be the trump card that everyone wants to play.(As if hell were an argument for anything.)
Yes! The Bingo card is great. I also like the counter-fundraiser idea.
***** Yes, I like the counter-fundraiser too. It seems a great way to leverage their own efforts against them. Very "Art of War".
Noah Nayme
I like the idea, but for now I think that fight needs to be concentrated on just keeping religion out of those schools, and the best way to do that would be to "keep atheism away" too.
I sincerely believe it is a subject for adults, and the encouraging news is that 80% of the "indoctrinated" become unindoctrinated very quickly after becoming adults.
"Attacking" at the grade school level would brig on the wrath of the parents and could even lead to violence.
*****, keeping atheists quiet is how we ended up at this place where America is one of the most religious countries around. We kept quiet because it was impolite, rude even, to do otherwise. Theists took advantage of that. It's time to speak out, everywhere.
Edit: But let's not be the jerks these street preachers are. Don't shove it in people's faces. Just be prepared to debate it - calmly, politely - but debate it whenever you are confronted with theism.
@@LabGecko While I agree wholeheartedly with your your sentiments, I don't think that you will find it easy, if even possible, to have a calm and reasoned discussion with a religious zealot. You're going to need a lot of patience (The patience of a saint perhaps?).
ill say "ill evolve for you" ha get it, no ok :/
I get it LOL
l
+Tyranosam The Turtle Me: I'll make sure that after we evolve that the next generation won't end up like you
what i don't get it
+Savage Beast The Christians like to say "I'll pray for you" as a sort of last resort when they have failed, YET AGAIN, to convince an atheist. "I'll evolve for you." is presented as a possible response. I prefer, "I'll think for you," personally.
Damn, that bingo-card idea is brilliant! :D
All hail the Magic Conch! ULULULULULULUULUUL!!!!
mikkel larsen Damnation to you all! All hail the Almighty Fork of Truth!
Sometimes I really wish I could go back to high school, just so that I can protest all the religious crap they did in that school. At that time, I was just kinda indifferent to religion, mostly because I was still kinda bound by it. I wasn't a strong believer, but I also didn't care if there was prayer or anything like that going on. I would bow my head along with it.
Now that my eyes have been opened, I really wish I could go back in time and protest the shit out of it.
BiscuitBlade ...my school memories are similar. For some constructive activity today, check out FFRF.org.
I don't know if it's good or bad that I've never seen preachers like that in my country (Belgium), because it would be fun to deal with them. But on the other hand, it's good if they're not there.
same here in Canada, and it applies to a lot of topics discussed on his channel. Goes to show that the US are much more religious than most developed countries in the world
Once I saw an American preacher doing this in Thailand... screaming at a red light district.
We don't really have those clowns in Australia either
podoau
Yet Australia did produce Ken Ham. ;)
NYCAustinNYC
That's not something we like to talk about. He did leave the country so that's a step in the right direction
Mind you, Ray (joke name ) Comfort is from New Zealand, but he left there as well
And where did they both move to ??
Case closed
I always troll preachers about the fake religion of skyrim. >:3
*bows*
Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Christian overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? Do the Christians take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the government do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The bureaucratic machine enforces the will of the Christians! Against its own people!
So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Christians or their toadies, will rule Earth! Forever!
A friend and I did the boot thing, but with a rock. ALL HAIL THE ROCK!
***** We do the rock thing whenever we see an annoying preacher.

Re: Number Two - Some years ago an eastern college were facing a visit from the Westboro Baptist Church. Some group at that college started a crowd-sourced fund whose goal was to raise at least $100 for every hour that WBC was on campus, I believe to benefit an LGBT charity. The truly great thing is that they WAY exceeded their goal, to the tune of something over $70,000!!!
I think there's a second stage to such a fundraiser, though: *Making The Offending Group KNOW About The Fundraiser!!!* Nothing like rubbing salt in an open wound, is there?
The Bingo idea is genius. I'm wary of the "worship x" gag, because there are certain objects that might start an actual religion. You know, things like money, coffee, snuggies....
Porn
Justin Bishop I hear that religion is growing very rapidly in teenage boy demographic.
It happened. If i recall correctly that was the whole idea of Pastafarianism.
lol im all for rain boot faith XD
nick escobar
For the wages of sneakers is death! If you aren't for the boot, you are against him. Behold I saw the boot high and lofty, lifted up! Rain pored from on high but the boot did dampen not!
Um, did you mean to type "3 Creative Ways" in your title and make a typo? I only saw you list three, not four.
The 4th way was the first example, the story before the list of examples.
***** their*
is it bad that i already worshipped shrek?
gobind singh Shrek is love, shrek is life.
I think the 4th thing was the 3rd thing lol the very topic (walkouts) was the 1st
To be fair, I think there already is a special level of hell reserved for people who wear crocs.
Well, I'm going to hell then.
Giannhs Polygamatos NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
And an even lower level for those who take mirror selfies...
There is a special level in hell for people who fail to put their face in a selfie correct. #FailSelfie #GoOutWithMe?
cya guys there
Church of the Holy Boot? Might have to work a bit on the name...
That bingo one is the first one and it's already amazing.
BINGO......GENIUS!

Sorry I had to have a go after the whole boot thing.
Spike the audience with people asking totally irrelevant questions: Should I dye my hair? What is the best pizza topping? What's your favourite colour? Can you show us how to rumba?
This was my favorite video I've seen from you so far.
Inanimate object to be preached about?
Why not the helix fossil.
Why not Zoidberg?
Not the helix fossil! Bad! Do not preach the helix fossil!
helix fossil? you sinful infidel, what are you going to say to the almighty Dome Fossil when you die?
this calls for a holy pokebattle
I preach the gospel of the Pencil! We should praise the pencil for writing stuff! Worship the pencil! If you don't, you will be erased in Eraserealm for eternity!
I remember a kid in school yelling "I worship pencils!" back in the 80s.
Good times!
the first one is just hilarious :D
Geniuses! Especially I liked the boot idea. Humor is the best weapon.
Holy shit, Bingo card is freaking awesome :')
Its not cool to tell someone they are going to hell. Blessed be 🌛🌕🌜
This is IMO the best video you've uploaded. Highly innovative. Thank you.
Love your video's man. Keep up the good work!
I want to try the bingo thing
Hi! Would you mind letting me tell you about our one true savior, Pepe the frog?
*****
:( but mooooom
No dumbasses it's the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
+Walker1444 NEVER DISRESPECT THE MIGHTY PEPE!
I really enjoyed hearing different but effective ways of challenging people. I really liked that these were harmless ways that don't involve anger or hate. This video really made me smile. I needed this more than I knew. Thank you. :-D
Hey bro, what drives you and inspires you to make these vids?
the boot is not a religion of PEACE. the boot may have been made for walking, but one of this day the boot is gonna walk all over you
Aye, my brother! The boot is nothing but evil, rooted from the perverted teachings of the rebellious men that denied the worfd of the Crocs! They have tried to control us with their words of evil, but we are protected by our lord, our savior, Crocs! Crocs shall give us salvation, and spare us from the end of the world! The unbelievers say that the word of the Crocs is false, but they, are the false ones! They'll be praying to the Crocs' feet when armaggedon comes, when Crocs unleashes his wrath upon the nonbelievers and infidels! The boot says Crocs is the one who is evil, and perverted, but this is far from the truth! Don't you all see? He is trying to fool you! To stray you from the right path!
But do not worry! There's still time! Submit yourself to the Crocs, and you'll be spared! You'll get to live in eternal life with Crocs, and experience true happiness!
All hail apple inc.
Have you filed out all the appropriate legislation in order to mention Apple inc. as a reference source for your comment. If not, we'll see you in court.
;P
Neion8 don't worry, I had spoken to steve jobs while everyone wasn't looking. all the information on that is said clearly in the description for the iPad I own, which was how he chose to speak to me.

What a friend we have in Cheez-its, our holy snackrament.
Hello, Mr. Medta. Sorry, if I misspelled your name. By any chance, is your book club still active, if so I would like to subscribe
As a Pastor , all i do when i go door to door on Saturday morning is invite people to my church .
They have the choice to attend our church , a different church or stay home on Sunday and watch football .
Im wondering at what point we no longer even get drawn into engage the preacher on the sidewalk. I mean it is fun to publicly embarrass them but it is about time we do something to help them. They clearly have mental issues and most of the time it is hard to watch their insanity unfold...
***** sounds like hate crime to me...hmmm.
Tony Lankford
What does?
***** "I mean it is fun to publicly embarrass them but it is about time we do something to help them. They clearly have mental issues and most of the time it is hard to watch their insanity unfold..."
Really bro? "Fun to embarrass them?"
Whats wrong with you???
Why is that fun and why would you want to do that in the first place?
Your 'help' to them is what?...I'm just curious...
Dude no
Hate all over it. Smells.like hate.
Here's fire for you. Let's assume that the Bible is 100% accurate. How many times does it talk about homosexuality? I think it's something like 7. And it refers to it as an abomination. Ok, that sounds pretty bad, right?
How many times does the Bible condemn greed, and in particular the wealthy? Dozens. How many times did Christ himself talk condemn the wealthy? "It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven." Sound familiar? He talks about it several times. Not once does he mention homosexuality. And while homosexuality might be called an abomination, it flat out says that "the love of money is the root of all evil."
So which is worse, an abomination, or THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?! Why are they spending so much time talking about gays, who even if they are right, are only effecting themselves, and not once are they decrying the ROOT OF ALL EVIL, the wealthy who are destroying lives, destroying the country, destroying our economy, and even indirectly killing people who can't provide for themselves because these people are hoarding all the money for themselves? Just once, I would like to hear one of these Bible-thumping pastors call out the wealthy with the same vehemence that they call out homosexuals. I'd like to see Westboro picket Donald Trump's house, with signs saying "GOD HATES RICH PEOPLE".
And remember, it was not the homosexuals whom Jesus scourged from the Temple, but the money-lenders.
I suspect that, other than the obvious love of money, there's probably some unexplored latent issues and corresponding self-hatred...
You nailed it dude... good observations
Thanks for posting your videos. Good stuff.
Love your videos Hemant look forward to them every week. :)
Thanks, BrookeSouthPaw!
Very great practical tips!
I like and approve this message!
The boot thing is inane, but the bingo card is hilarious.
Is there links to any of these? At least the one with the boot at the end? :D
I saw this on reddit, story at the beginning. There were comments a plenty in the thread saying things like "liberals are ruining this society," etc, etc. It was quite terrifying...
At the university of Washington I spreached towards Spaghetti while holding up a cookbook and yelling, "IF YOU DO NOT BOIL YOUR SPAGHETTI PROPERLY, YOUR DAY AND LIFE WILL BE RUINED. YOUR NOODLE WILL BE TOO FIRM TO EAT. DO NOT BETRAY OUR SPAGHEDDI FOR THE EVIL TEACHIJGS OF THE SLICK BOWTIE PASTA, FOR HE WILL BETRAY YOU AND FALL OFF YOUR FORK."
+Nathan Staats I've been laughing for 3 straight minutes
all hail FSM
Oh my gosh! Yes! This is amazing! :3 thanks for the ideas!
great vid.. keep it up!!
he deserves so many more subscribers
Whoa, the world could use this.
Fantastic stuff....love it!
is there premade set of bingo cards? downloadable? I want to play this on my Christian school
All hail hypno toad.
I am an ex Jehovahs Witness activist. I LOVE these videos. They are intelligently done without harsh words or cruel jibes.
I have JWs commenting on my videos and they are without fail full of hate rhetoric, I am going to be killed by god and damned, I am going to be crying soon etc. Oh and terrible spelling.
I LOVE the bingo card idea. I see some Christian commenters on here have already ticked off some items -
"god is not dead" (assertions of fact with no proof, reference or source)
"smug and sarcastic" (attack the man instead of the argument)
Anyone want to go for a "you're all going to hell"?
Katie Kitten whaa?
"They are intelligently done without harsh words or cruel jibes."
Haven't seen them all huh?
Why must you be an atheist? :(
+The Master Potatoe why must you not worship the spaghetti monster??
Alexandra Read because its just as dumb as your are....smh, dumbass.
+Tony Lankford The spaggheti monster being real is just as logical as God being real...smh, dumbass.
Dude you're awesome. I like the way you think. Keep up the good work.
Being from Dayton, Ohio I am so glad to hear that most people walked out.
ive come here to spread the good word of a new religion called the cabinet!! where we worship our daily snack foods! ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY OREO!
Reply for pro life. Like for pro choice.
Why isn't anyone discussing a third option?
Ex: we can transplant organs between people nowadays. Why not fetal / embryo transplants? Move the unborn baby from the pregnant woman to a woman who is struggling to get pregnant?
No one dies, no one is forced to bring a child to term. Everybody wins!
Structure it so that a pregnant woman is incentivized to undergo the procedure, but not so incentivized that she gets pregnant on purpose in future just to go through the transplant procedure.
The world needs more problem-solving and less posturing.
The bingo idea is brilliant haha. How funny would that be
do u kno if there is a video for the protest with the rain boot i would love to see it
ALL HAIL THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!
Based in the video thumbnail:
1) Fist to the nose.
2) Fist to the jaw.
3) Fist to the throat.
4) Fist to the crotch.
OMG i NEED some of these bingo cards. Where can i find them?
Theses ideas are amazing!
Great video. I think you need to change the title to '3 Creative ways...' instead of '4 creative ways...' (feel free to remove this comment once the fix is made. Keep up the good work.
Guys, Guys, We all know that Talos is the one true god, All hail Talos!
*joking*
TALOS IS THE TRUE GOD OF MAN
Lucas Holder I'm not familiar with Talos. Is it anything like Manos, (of the infamous Hands of Fate)?
SophomoricOne he's from the elder scrolls video game
Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you."
They are all really great ideas, but I think the funniest is the first one.
Great ideas Hement.
