A word on Pat Condell, from wikipedia
I'm suprised he didn't come out with the"I've got some friends that are Muslims"
Pat Condell is a racist bigot. That clip is full of lazy stereotypes of Muslims and of course he doesn't mention that he gets his 'facts' for this bullshit from rags like the Sun or Daily Mail and Fox news.In April 2010, Condell urged his viewers to vote"for freedom" and said that a"vote for any of the three main parties" would be a wasted vote in the 2010 general election.[45] The same day United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) said that Condell"urges voters to shun the three old parties and vote UKIP".[46][47] In a video titled"Vote small, think big", uploaded a fortnight before the 2010 UK general elections, and on his website, Pat Condell expressed support for the policies of the UK Independence Party.[48][49] He is a strong proponent of free speech and critic of religion.[50]

I think when your religion is practised as a personal thing without the desire to recruit or force it on others, fine. When you demand changes in the behavior of others in society based on your religious views then I have an issue; your beliefs do not have rights. If for instance you believe the colr blue is offensive to god then don't wear blue but don't expect others that don't share your belief to refrain fron the color. The biggest problem with any belief system is when it's creates eclusivity and the idea of"one way". I also think religion is harmful in that it promises a future that is based on just that ,promises and allows people to not focus on fixing the real problems we have here on earth in the only verified exsistance we have. if we expended the time and energy spent on trying to appease the supposed will of unseen beings on getting along with each other and solving issues among humankind we would be better off IMHO. Having said all that lumping people into generic categories generally does not help to change beliefs.

Good and Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It touched me personally and I liked it.
