Joe Schmid is (was?) a young agnostic YouTube philosopher. Not just YouTube. He's published and completely legit. I've been watching his videos for quite a while. And I would consider myself a semi-fan. Something always seemed a little off to me. But he's incredibly sharp. And seems like a really sw

Okay, gang! Here we go! I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am to be posting a couple videos today. After nearly three months, I'd almost forgotten how much I love making these damned things (literally). I have such a feeling of renewed gratitude. I'm so happy to be sharing these with you. And

I asked patrons to switch to monthly billing during my illness, but I didn't realize that I have to do some setup to make that possible. Switching to monthly billing means that you're not charged per video every month, but rather charged a flat fee per month, whether I make one video or seven in a g

Hey gang! As mentioned previously, I have to start making videos again because disability won't even begin to cover my monthly expenses. Unfortunately, I'm not well enough to put out the seven or eight videos I've been producing monthly. l spend most days too tired and weak to do almost anything. Bu

Here's my lated post on Facebook regarding my health... UPDATE: Saw my hematologist/oncologist today. He said that all of my bloodwork is looking good with everything headed in the right direction. That includes my billyruben. Which means I might be able to have this tube/bag removed from my gallbla

I have to start making videos again whether I have the strength and brain power to do so. Disability won't even pay a quarter of my monthly expenses. In beginning to work on that, I found a script that I don't think I ever shot. May have written it in July and just couldn't get it done because of my

Hey gang! Let me begin by telling you all how much I appreciated the many kind/caring comments on my last post. I was, and continue to be, deeply moved. Thanks so much!!! ❤️ I finally went home after six weeks in solitary there at the hospital. Three days later, I was rushed back in an ambulance wit

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated you. I can't get on Patreon on my phone. The app is a pain. Finally had the strength to get on the computer today. It's been a rough ride. Seven days of IV chemo, as well as chemo in a pill every day since I got here. Apparently, chemo has come a long w

Hey Gang! Turns out things are worst that I imagined. I've been diagnosed with acute leukemia. I will be spending August in the hospital getting the full-blown chemo treatment. Needless to say, there will be no new videos coming at the end of this month or maybe the next. 🥺 Wish me luck! And thanks

Hey Gang! Sorry for heaping all of these on you so late in the month. My anemia from a couple years ago came back with a vengeance —the entire month of July. Which means getting out of bed or off the couch is a genuine struggle. But this time it's accompanied by persistent bloating, like my midsecti

This is a bonus freebie! It'll save you a couple minutes (or less) over watching parts one and two. Enjoy! B WOTM: John Lennox Can't Stick The Landing (Complete) (YouTube)

In part II, John tries to emotionally soothe us by telling us that God became man and experienced the suffering with us. Which makes things even worse. John also tells us that we'll be compensated for all the suffering... without ever telling us exactly how. #trustmebro Woohoo!!! Well, here I am, on

I don't know if this happens because I do counter apologetics or what. But for the last six weeks or so, my YouTube feed has been filled with videos featuring Christian excusegist, John Lennox. Some Christians think him the number on excusegist in the world. I find him somewhat pathetic and thoughtl

Believers will tell you story after story of how God answered their prayers. But for every prayed God answered, there and hundreds or thousands of prayers that went straight to voicemail. In this video, I give three examples, ranging from the very personal to the global. Thanks again, gang! Couldn't

As you may or may not know, Christian excusegist sub-par, Frank Turek's claim to fame is his book titled, "I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be And Atheist." In this video I'm laying out the case for why Frank doesn't have enough faith to be a Christian, given what Jesus said His followers would be able

As you may know, I don't believe we have anything approximating free will. But free will is the catch all defense for Christian excusegists when discussing the problem of suffering (formerly the problem of evil). I've pointed out many weaknesses with the free will defense, but I don't know that I've

When Christians are asked about the Euthyphro dilemma — do the gods love good action because it's good, or is good action good because it's loved by the gods, they now reject that as a genuine dilemma, instead saying that there is a third option: That goodness comes from God's nature. I'm not sure h

Hey gang! I'm running out. But I wanted to get this up for youz guyz real quick since it's still lingering in the news. if you haven't heard, Trump's government put out a list of religions and didn't include Mormonism amongst the "Christian" religions. They switched it up after some significant outc

Sorry for getting this up later than promised. I had some health issues after my birthday. And no, it was not a multi-day hangover. I don't drink. It's amazing how many Biblical stories I've yet to touch on after nearly 20 years. We can finally put this one to bed now! Thanks again, gang. And enjoy!

So, let's add this confession to the pile. We have William Lane Craig saying that he lowers the epistemic bar for Christianity; that if there's only a one in a million chance Christianity is true, it's worth believing; that he has a self-authenticating way to know the truth wholly apart from the evi

I'm just gonna let this one speak for itself. Enjoy! B Mr. Deity And His Boy (YouTube)

Whenever I visit my grandkids, I always end up having some great conversations about child development and psychology with my daughter, who is a professional in the field. Those conversations inspired this video. Thanks again, gang! I'm gonna magicify all your underwear! But only with your permissio

Have you ever asked a Christian to perform a miracle — to do what Jesus said they're be able to do? They'll tell you that it's wicked to ask God for a sign. But in truth, they know their God can't be counted on. Even when He's promised to be there for them. FYI: Jimbo and I are shooting TWO Mr. Deit

People are absolutely full of shit! And we have the proof. Both currently, and in the first century CE. That's the gist of this video. LOL! 😂 Thanks again, gang. Enjoy!!! WOTM: Embellishing Stories (YouTube)

This one is just fun. As many of you know, my religious life didn't end when I left Mormonism. I almost converted to Judaism, then Catholicism, then I tried to be a properly basic Christian for a brief time. In this video, I talk about the differences between Mormon Jesus and Christian Jesus and how

Hey gang!!! I'm trying to get stuff up early this month so I don't have to work on my birthday (31st). Patronage is down over the last four months. I suspect people are being hit hard by this bad economy. So make sure you're telling your friends and neighbors about the Deity gospel! In other news, I

I'm terrible at sharing this kind of thing, but every now and then I remember. These are the comments that make my fortnight and fill me with gratitude from your continued support. Dennis always used to say that in Judaism it's believed that changing one life changesthe world. Certainly, for Crazy U

So, there is one horrible aspect of doing what I do here. Because I watch a lot of Christian content on YouTube in order to come up with the content I make for you, my YouTube feed gets filled even more with Christian content. The algorithm floods me with that nonsense when all I really wanna do is

Every now and then, I get a surge of empathy and understanding for our make-believing friends, and I imagine that they're not the lying sacks of $hit they so obviously seem to be. This imagining ofter just turns into good fun, as it does here in this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

This video actually helped me handle that onslaught I experienced yesterday — from one of my Christian friends, much better than if I hadn't made the video. Understanding how the hearts and minds of Christians have become so twisted has given me an empathy I didn't have years ago. I know this title

These next two videos became special to me yesterday. As you might remember, I go down to Seal Beach every Sunday, partially to visit with some Christian friends. One of whom had finally taken a look at my videos and came at me with a fierceness I had not known from anyone in the group. She lied abo

Tim's claim about the Holy Ghost helping the disciples remember all the things Jesus said to them is not just silly, it's empirically testable and demonstrable wrong. We have the gospels! So we can compare them with each other and she how (or whether) the Holy Ghost helped the Gospel writers remembe

In this video, I take a look at Christian excusegist, Tim Barnett's attempt to correct Alex O'Conner regarding his comments about how we know what Jesus said. Of course, Tim just assumes that when the Bible says something, it must be true. Including the late second century attributed authorship of t

Hey gang! Happy Saturday!!! I got Jimbo back again for another Mr. Deity episode. We'll have another coming up in either May or June, depending on his schedule. I can't believe that in all these years I've never done a Mr. Deity episode regarding the "God of the gaps," but here it is... finally! I t

Patreon kept telling me that my "God Is Fallen" post couldn't be saved or posted, so I created a new post and published it, only to find out that the original post was indeed posted. So you'll be charged twice for that same video. D'oh!!! I'll make it up to you next month by making one of April's vi

This is one of my recent favorites. I'm so sick of the "fallen world, wicked sinners" bullshit you hear coming from both everyday Christians and their excusegists. Especially when the fallenness, evil, sin, and suffering were clearly all part of God's plan. I think you're gonna love this one! And we

After finally leaving religion, I went through an existential crisis, which led to two years of intense study. At the end of it, I still couldn't say that there was anything I knew with any certainty about God. Certainly nothing I could "take to the bank." Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,

A quick list of all the assumptions you have to embrace to believe in the Christian god. Assumption is really all Christians have. Thanks again! Enjoy! B WOTMQ: It's Assumption All The Way Down (YouTube)

There are all kinds of little privileges Christians still have in this country — and elsewhere. Somehow, Christian scholars in various specialties get to be taken seriously even after they've signed a loyalty oath saying they will not speak of things which don't align perfectly with particular Chris

One of the most amazing things to me about religion is how people will talk with great confidence of things about which no one has even the slightest bit of actual knowledge. This one's just some good, clean fun. I've taken different clips of various religious types talking about Hell and put them t

God's Omniscience creates all kinds of problems for make believers in The Tribal War god of Abraham. This is especially true for the idea that God gave us free will. I've talked about a number of those problems before, but this time, I have a new take — that God giving us the kind of free will Chris

Hey gang! Hope you're having a terrific March. Last month, I called the Christianity of today "Christianity Lite," saying that the real Christianity was revealed when Christianity had all the power in the world to make the world in its image. A commenter took me to task, providing a boatload of exam

Christian excusegist, Glen Scrivener, has decided it's time to cash in and piggy back off of Tom Holland's popular, Dominion. But apparently, it lacks the historian's restraint (Tom isn't actually a trained historian — he just writes about history). Glen wants you to think that ALL the moral values

This video has two purposes. The first is to introduce you to a new counter-apologetics content creator. He's been making some terrific videos for the last year, but isn't getting the engagement I think he deserves. Make sure you check out his channel... Sheng Tsai (Mindful Living). The link is in t

I know I've made videos about Bill Craig's "infinite good" comment before. But given his appearance talking about it with Alex O'Conner put his horrendous comments out into the ether again. And I decided we'd take his comments to their logical conclusion, asking, "Should we all be unaliving our babi
