    He goes in so hard, but yes, every word is true. Not only do they get away with it too often but the moment one goes to prison they seem to get out in record time. George Pell deserves far worse than prison for the stuff he did. Check out Tim's Cardinal Pell song

    • @MertAus
      @MertAus  2 роки тому +10

      Yes you are very correct. I think that is one of the reasons I enjoyed this performance because what he said is not only true but very important for people to hear. Really good to see such a talented performer use his ability to talk about important subjects.

    Haha so glad you got onto this song so quickly! Tim is so intelligent, witty and a masterfull pianist. Has so many songs that broach so many topics. His points are well thought out so is difficult to argue against them. He always does it in a very funny but thought provoking way.
    FYI he also performs The Pope Song with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra which makes it extra funny, though I do like this performance better for it's rawness.
    Some of my favs are:
    Thankyou God
    Storm
    Lullaby
    If I didn't have you
    Darkside (awesome version)

    can i just ask you to start calling your self an atheist. we need to get it out there that there are more atheist then people think.
    atheist = you do not believe there is a god
    agnostic = is not a statement of belief it is a statement of knowledge. that means you do not KNOW something.
    if you answer the question "do you believe there is a god?" with anything other then yes you are an atheist.
    on this topic there are 4 options when you combine belief and knowledge.
    -agnostic atheist - you do not believe a god exists, but you do not know this to be a fact
    -gnostic atheist - you do not believe a god exists, and you know this to be a fact
    -agnostic theist - you believe a god exists, but you do not know this to be a fact
    -gnostic theist - you believe a god exists, and you know this to be a fact
    almost every atheist is agnostic. it is impossible to know a poorly defined entity does not exist. i can say i am a gnostic atheist when it comes to any god i have heard a proper definition of.
    honest theists are agnostic. there is not credible evidence for god. if there was one gnostic theist there would be no other option. they could provide the knowledge of god and everyone would be gnostic theists. would everyone worship that god, that is a hole different discussion.
