PragerFU: The Afterlife, Part 1
The new series is here! The new series is here! PragerFU!!!
So, it's afterlife month here on the Mr. Deity channel. This PragerU video is such a tremendous gift in terms of revealing the sources and methods of religious thinking, that this will be the first of three videos. I know that's a lot, but the Afterlife is so crucial to religious thought, I want to use this opportunity to really close the door on this entirely evidence-free idea.
I also want to clarify the no ads policy quickly. Rather than putting up two videos of each video (which would get really confusing for me in the long run), I'm going to make these videos ad free for a day or two for Patrons, and then when I release it to the general public, add in the advertising. I'm sorry to those of you who can't watch on that first day, but I can't think of another good way to do this.
Finally, I have another Mr. Deity coming later in the month. So keep an eye out for that. And thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your help here.

Mmmmmaybe Australopithecines are Elohim's true chosen people…? I mean… that would explain our current occupant in the White House.
Oops, on your last screen "immeasurable" had only one M in it. (I didn't go back to check the previous screens.) But ... if you were quoting Mr. Prager, he looks like someone who would misspell a simple word.
The Afterlife(tm) is a hallmark of the Big Con. Basically the con is that none of us should fight like hell to make this life better because in the afterlife, we are rewarded and our enemies punished. But, until then, don't rock the boat, do your job, shut up, and tithe at your church. Religions don't survive unless they coerce labor from the masses to serve the interests of the religious and secular elites.
PLEASE save me from "reasonable" apologists because they use this as an artfully disingenuous facade of open mindedness when they are really only trying to camouflage their nit-picking straw man attacks ("I don't think this...." and "you can't that ...", "so you believe this....") AND the Killer argument about secular morality ..."do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is pretty much the entire “ATHEIST MORALITY RULE-BOOK” (excepting masochists LOL) and that predates Abrahamic morality by millennia as it was first observed in Hammurabi’s rules.

Was it Terry Pratchett who said (something like) "if you stopped telling people it'll be all right in the next life, they might do something to make it all right in *this* life"?
Frankly, the ads don't bother me because, we'll, I see them all of the time elsewhere. But I get it that you want to reward us Patreon Saints. So seeing them in a couple of days is okay by me.
