WOTM: The Bar Hits Infinitely Low, Part 1
Happy Easter everyone! I am risen!!! I am risen indeed!
Honest to Hitch, five days ago, I didn't think I'd get a single video out this month. My ongoing health problems went from bad to worse this month when my doctor overmedicated me, turning me into little more than a zombie for three weeks — but without the taste for human brain. I did develop a craving for the lime flavored "Outshine" popsicles however! Amy (Lucy) was the one to suggest I get off the meds. But it took a couple days before I felt significantly better.
I won't be writing much again this month. I'm still in a lot of pain. You'll probably be able to tell that I was in bad shape when I shot these. Sometimes, I could barely make it to the end of the line. And my voice is weaker than usual. But not too bad, performance-wise (I hope). My apologies still.
So basically, this month, we're looking at Alex O'Connor's interview with Low Bar Bill on the topic of genocide. I don't really understand Christians. There's no evidence of this event, consensus is that the Israelites emerged from within Canaan, and yet, Christians continue to defend the mass slaughter of men, women, children, babies, and animals (even Shekel — you'll understand after part II). When will they understand that this is not a winner for them... or their God.
Enjoy the series! I'll post the rest as they upload to YouTube. Thanks so much for all your continued support. I really appreciate it. But I have to tell you all that your thoughts and prayers are doing absolutely nothing for my back. B

I hope you start feeling better soon.
I noticed that @2:04, WLC minimized the size of the people in God’s way in Canaan: “the land of Canaan (or modern-day Israel) was populated by *small clans* of Canaanite inhabitants.” Sounds like the genocide wasn’t that big a deal. But he’s forgetting the Bible’s take version. Deut. 7:1 mentions many nations, “the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, *seven nations larger and stronger than you.*” So which is it? Did the genocide kill a smattering of people, or did it kill seven nations, each bigger than Israel, which itself was about 2 million people (see Ex. 12:37-8)?
Sorry to hear about you pain issues! Your production quality is still great.
Ok o.9 my., 😁😬😥
What does that mean?
Hey Brian,Even in your (self-alleged!) compromised health, you still kick some serious a**.
Sorry, Man, you're having it so rough. Take care of yourself - I love your posts but # 1 comes 1st!
Bill seems to have come to the conclusion that God's argument is identical to Benjamin Netanyahu's reason for genocide. If only it was possible to impeach the ineffable.
There's a t-shirt — "Impeach The Ineffable!"
I prayed for guidance from the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It suggested bathing in a tub full of Marinara. May the pasta be with you.
I am definitely not praying for you, so don't blame me for the prayers not working.
LOL!!!
Ah, Brian… I'm so sorry to hear about the health problems. I can attest that this getting older is the pits. And speaking of pain, Low Bar Bill gives me an excruciating pain in the… talking donkey. He actually believes those myths because… why?… because they were written and compiled in a fanciful collection of fictitious, Bronze Age stories? Well, hell, if that's what it takes… we'd better believe that the Morning and Evening star aren't the planet Venus, but the glorified twins born of the virgin Ixquic, as dutifully written in the Popol Vuh.
Yeah, I feel like a ninety year old man. But I don't think my father felt this bad at 90. What does that tell you?
Best wishes for a rapid recovery, Brian. Take care of yourself!
Maybe a heating pad will help. Thankyou for your continuing dedication in spite of your health issues. Have not even seen the episode yet, but trust that you will be your usual snarky self intellectually even if not physically 100%. Thanks for your work!
I live on a heating pad.
Hope you feel well soon!
Me too!!! This all began on December 31 of last year. Way too long!
