Bede Benjamin’s Breakdown Proves Libertines Lives up to Mission Statement

Fans of the better-off-forgotten Sci-Fi show, Singularity: ΑΩ, were treated to an up close and personal Q & A with Bede Benjamin at ComicCon this weekend.

The clearly emotional thirty-twoyear-old actor belched loudly into the mic, swaying from side to side as he addressed the crowd. “I just want to take this opportunity to say I’m sorry to you guys. You guys—the fans—you’ve been so great—so forgiving.”

During his time on Singularity, Benjamin was a junior spokesperson for the National Science Council. He recorded evolution propaganda films for school children and an album of songs to help memorize information about the solar system.

He left the show two weeks after his Libertines trial during which he broke down in tears and admitted that he deserved to be punished for his lifestyle and his advocacy.

At the Con, Benjamin responded to on-going questions about his trial. “Love ’em or hate ’em, the Vanguard saved my life, like seriously. I was raised in the church, but I got in this way of thinking that I could make it on my own. They reminded me that life is sacred, and that I can make mine count for something.”

Though others have come close, Benjamin’s confession marks him as the first Libertines target to come out in full support of his trial. His remarks act as a rebuttal to the growing number of voices judging the Vanguard without pausing to weigh the good they have accomplished. Hopefully, this first step is one of many Benjamin intends to take to repair the damage he has done to so many young minds by promoting the doctrine of infallible science and atheism.
