Changing the world one person at a time
I get emails/comments like this every now and then, and for some reason, it just now occurred to me that I should be sharing them with you because YOU make all this stuff possible, and you deserve to see the fruits of your investment.
In the comments section of one of my latest videos, I engaged with a woman who was rethinking things because of some of the stuff she'd been watching on my channel. This is the kind of email/comment that makes my fortnight...
"Guess you were just there at the right time to say the right thing that allowed my years of struggle and wrestling with god/religion to coalesce. The Mr.Diety skits, started an inquiry for me. From there I read books and bounced ideas around. Never had the courage until now to leave god/religion behind. I was getting hassled here by 'epotterable' . But along with that was your suggestion to take a look at another series on your channel. I don't know but while watching it, something inside just changed or became clear. Might have been the contrast between 'epotterable' and his personal attacks v. your offering suggestion and inviting me to a rational position. Don't know but somehow this last little interaction here brought things into focus for me. You were no doubt the catalyst. For that, I thank you with all my heart. Sharon (The new Atheist girl :) Just can't stop smiling right now . . . feels like a tremendous weight has been lifted."
The other series I recommended was "The God Distraction" which I would not have been able to make without your help. I don't know if you're feeling as good as I am, but this is why I do this. I want to change hearts and minds, and thereby change the world...just a little — as much as I can, one person at a time if need be. Thank you all for helping me do what I can. Hopefully, you feel the investment is well worth it. You're all my best friends ever!!! Call me!!! B

This is why I "proselytize" Mr. Deity (and all of Brian's work) every chance I get. I just talked to another "convert" yesterday. She said her daughter was blown away by the Mr. Deity DVD's that I loaned her to watch!
You are more erudite than I and can reach more people with the "good news" that a god isn't necessary. So I am happy to support you as I can. I appreciate and enjoy the product of your effort.
You speak for us, to those who are ready to hear. Thank you!
Awesome! ☺
