#FatherTed #FatherDougal #Religion - Komedie
This is Dougal's best moment. Normally his lack of intelligence is just not knowing what's going on but here he shows a complete lack of understanding of the "don't ask" nature of religion and actually shows himself to be highly capable of critical thinking.
I've always found it more like Dougal simply doesn't understand the corelation between priesthood and religion in general. Like when he asks Ted if he believes in an afterlife. Dougal isn't just sceptical that they believe in it, he's surprised that they are apparently associated with those beliefs in the first place. It's like asking what a fire has to do with a fireman( which Dougal probably doesn't know either). It adds to the comedy over how Dougal even got into the priesthood since he has no clue what it even involves.
I love how Dougal unintentionally inspired the Bishop to abandon religion entirely, and become a hippy. He's full of accidental wisdom!
Accidental being the key word 😁
Just because he has the slow trait doesn't mean he can't have high learning. Dougal's cynical trait mostly makes up for it
What he says seems to be snippets of worn out musings that wouldn’t stumble an actual bishop, or at least I’d hope it wouldn’t.
Maybe the Bishop had been having doubts for a while and asked Dougal to help him in his own way
Dougal is one of the wisest catholic priests I've ever seen
He has the innocence of a wise child.
He's one of the wisest catholics, full stop.
Yes!! Whenever he expresses a doubt, I always think he’s actually the smartest character.
Hippie van, ambulance and a hearse. LMAO
That's what you call a fun afternoon
One of the best moments in the series. For once, Dougal isn't a complete idiot.
Indeed...he comes across as THE most intelligent of them all. Let's be serious for a moment, because the writers have humorously conveyed much truth.
I almost became a priest - but here are some of the reasons why I have concluded that to worship the god of the Bible or the Quran is to worship evil.
How wicked is a new born baby, so many of whom God murdered in the flood? Surely the most evil action in Earth’s factual and/or fictional history is the drowning of millions of people and animals - including their new born children, who could not possibly have offended God.
He also instructed Joshua to enter Jericho and kill every man, woman and child. He further instructed the Israelites to kill every man, woman, child plus their innocent animals if they found one person in any village, town or city who did not worship him.
Do children deserve to be mauled to death by a she-bear for calling a prophet baldy?
After forcing Pharaoh to not free the Israelites (by harding his heart), God chose to punish the Egyptians by killing their first born children - because Pharaoh diid what God had forced him to do. Not only is that an example of evil injustice and infanticide, but it is an example of absolute stupidity. Even after Pharaoh had agreed to free the slaves, God stopped him by supernatural force - and then punished other peoples' children because Pharaoh carried out God's will against his own will.
God instructs that a man should have his bride killed after discovering she is not a virgin. Which is the greater sin, sex before marriage or murder? According to the Bible, murder is not only a lesser sin, but a necessary instrument of justice against the monstrous sin of sex before marriage. How ridiculously evil is that?
In Psalm 135 verse 9, God gives his advice on achieving happiness as “Happy is he who dashes an infant against a rock”. So, according to the Bible, if you wish to be happy, dash an infant against a stone or rock.
I could go on about approval of slavery (including selling children as sex slaves), child sacrifice as a thanks to God for helping win battles, having One's son killed for coming home drunk, killing children for lack of respect for their parents - even if the parents were child abusers or murderers, eating of babies...etcetera…
These are certainly not MY morals and should not the morals of a good god. These examples are among the reasons why I, who nearly became a priest, am an Atheist.
Finally: How can a moral person worship a god who boasts about how he created evil in Isaiah 45 verse 7?
Note that the Bible specifically claims that God, not Satan, created evil.
Considering this and a multiplicity of other evidence, I have to conclude that to worship God is to worship evil...which is why I am now happy to be an absolute Atheist. Indeed one of the greatest songs ever written is IMAGINE, by John Lennon.
@@davidbrown8763 If you are capable of reading and actually understanding what is in the Bible you would not be a Christian.
The actor who played Dougall said he always felt that Dougall was smarter than Ted in his own way
@@davidbrown8763I think your taking the whole catholic thing a bit seriously I mean it’s just a bit of a laugh
Dougal is a high-functioning autistic, rather than of low intelligence. For proof, see this and the "You were wearing your blue jumper" bit from Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading.
Dougal, what have you been up to?!
Down with this sort of thing 😁
Careful now.
That would be an ecumenical matter.
@@inspectortanzi YES!!!
The funny bit is at the end when the priest turns into a hippy.
If I remember correctly, he grabs that spliff pretty quick too.
I've always thought a child can point out the flaws in religion, and Dougal, who has the mind of a child, proves it!
He has the mind of a child, but the faith of a spider.
Priceless 😂
I've only recently realised the actress playing Mrs Doyle used to be the young maid on 'You Rang M'Lord'
I think you’re thinking of Su Pollard? Mrs. Doyle is played by Pauline McLynn. They do look similar, though!
I also learned she was also in the 5th Movie of Transformers The Last Knight.
Pure GOLD
Awwo wee Mrs Doyle... wee gum drop... what a wee Angel of a Lady... Ted n Doogal are hopeless widowt me... I mooost look affder thumb 👍🏻
Is NOBODY gonna point out how a LONE DUSTBIN in the wild was mistakenly believed to be a dead priest FIRST.😂
Oh my god, this is hilarious
If they had Father Ted marathons, i would consider going to church. Tell the Pope.
If the two nice bishops were representatives of the church it would have larger congregations.
Problem is most of them are like the other bishop who kept poking Jack
So funny
Dougal could be pretty successful as an Atheist missionary.
Hello, Len!
You address me by my proper title you little bollocks!
Careful now...
Which episode is this
It's called "Tentacles of Doom".
It was a few years later after the show had finished
That I appreciated the joke that ran all the way through the entire series
that Dougal didn’t actually believe in God
Even the stupidest character in the show
Could see through total crap of religion
Way to go Dougal!
👍
☮
He's got that right!😀
😇😇😇
What interests me about Dougal is that he doesn't believe in God, but he's expressed a love for his religious career. Compared to Ted who does believe, but doesn't seem to enjoy being a priest.
And why can't a priest believe in aliens?
They should be like Bode from The Simpsons.
- me, explaining why I quit christianity
You missed out the third bishop being carried out with the holy stone of Clanricket jammed up his arse!
This is just monte Python with the same tropes and stupidity
delete me
Its funny how he has issues with god and his faith, yet according to the board seem to belives in just about everything else, no matter how stupid🤣
It's quite common with people who discover Atheism and end up believing any old nonsense. Aliens, crystal skulls, deep vein thrombosis, you name it.
graham linehan is a sitcom legend. what his ex wife and the media did to him is fckng disgusting
He can climb out of the hole he dug anytime he likes.
Get a life
He kind of wrapped his leg around his head and shot himself in the foot a bit too.
Organised religion is the problem. But Jesus is the only one who will heal the pain and sadness you’re all in. Listen to Him and forget the Pharisees that are virtually in every church right now. He’d be happier if you observed and implemented the Truth at the pub with your friends rather than dealing with all the hypocrisy and witches covens in the churches if you do as He asked you to in spirit and Truth. It is simplicity and there is great beauty in that simplicity. And your lives will be more pleasant and no highly dangerous nuclear wars involved.
