WOTM: Tri-Omni God vs. Highly Evolved Apes
Inspiring Philosophy (Michael Jones) apparently made a two and a half hour response video to my series on Tom Holland's ideas about The Enlightenment being a Christian endeavor. When all he really had to do is show us chapter and verse from the Bible demonstrating and advocating the principles given to us by Voltaire, Hume, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Paine, Jefferson, etc...
What's truly amazing about those Enlightenment principles being absent from the Bible is... (see video now).
Hitch bless all of you! I couldn't make these videos without your help! Now, enjoy! I command it. B

Pffft. When I think of enLIGHTenment, I remember the story of the Mormon Bishop who went to the grocery store and saw a boy at the entrance with some puppies in a box with a sign that read: "Mormon Puppies for Sale." The Bishop congratulated the boy for his religious pride. The next week he returned to the store and again saw the boy with his puppies, but now the sign read "------- Puppies for Sale." He asked him why he had changed the sign, and the boy replied: "Well… the puppies are older now, and their eyes are open."
LOL!!! ❤️
Top of the class, again. You’re in your own class. Classy! If they were a quarter of the man you are , they would be twice the man they are. And that still makes them an eighth of a very impressive man. And that’s not my opinion, that’s fractions.
What a nice comment. You’re my new best friend. Call me!
There is a little cringe with including Jefferson in the enlightened crowd. As great as his words were, he owned other humans as property and raped one repeatedly. So when he talked about freedom and equality, he didn’t mean everyone.
They’re all mixed bags. But there’s no doubt about Jefferson’s influence in giving us secular government and keeping religion at bay.
Now I don't have to read Holland's book, right? Or listen to Jones' response video. Right?
Yeah, I just saved you so much time!
I’ll stick with the bear.
Thankyou again for an excellent presentation. I cannot understand why otherwise intelligent people choose to keep their eyes shut and not see the absurdities in their book even when they are shown them.
Sledgehammer? More Peter Gabriel?
