This is a short extract from a lot of footage shot of me at Speakers’ Corner, in London, inviting questions on atheism and theism. I had a sign and everything. It was great fun. For those not in the know, Speakers’ Corner has a long tradition of unrestricted public oration – however, those speaking often don’t answer questions. I aimed to redress this imbalance. Hopefully this short video prefaces a longer, more detailed one in the near future. The sound quality is not amazing, but you can hear us clearly enough here – the whole “you have a choice when hell is a consequence” is one of my favorite things to question/refute. I don’t intend this clip to show amazing refutations of a sophisticated opponent, it’s just reasonably concise and fun. Sadly, a lot of the other footage is practically inaudible, partially as a result of the Abba tribute band warming up a few hundred yards away. Clearly I turned off the colour and dicked with the contrast, because I looked like a heaped plateful of ass. You’ll just have to cope with this. And thank/sub this guy for filming it: www.youtube.com/fountainrock
In some languages, as in English and French, the modern freezing of spelling has removed the writing more and more from pronunciation and has resulted in the need to teach spelling and the growth of fallacies like the "silent" letter (a letter is really either the symbol of a sound or it is unnecessary).
