WOTM: Molehills into Mountains
Few things are more amazing to me than seeing a religious person grasping for evidence which does not even fit the bill or the scale mentioned in the religious text they're trying to prove. Such was my experience on the "Right to Reason" podcast with Robert Stanley.
The video talks about this idea in depth and how religious apologists are always doing some kind of bait and switch. When you're talking about being connected to a divine source of knowledge, the bar is very high indeed. Somehow, in all that bowing down, they forget that.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me to do this for another month. I hope you enjoy all these videos. If you have an idea for a topic you'd like to see me tackle, leave a note in the comments and I'll see what I can do. No personal requests, please (I won't make a video on why your ex is the worse than Hitler, Bob. Please don't ask me again.).

As a former Mormon, loved this; you nailed these anachronisms.
Love your videos, and am happy to contribute, but Patreon is pissing me off.
Yep! Another example of how the Testies will defend their cult by clinging to ANY "explanation" —no matter how badly Occam slices right through it. I am going to forward to you an e-mail that I once wrote to one of these apologists who was claiming that DNA proving the Nephites' existence had been found. Of course, the apologist never replied, let alone tried to refute the facts I outlined that reduced his claim to even LESS than a molehill.
Oops, the slide that says "The medal, not the crime" for "steel" needs to be the "metal."
spell check doesn't always catch things
Squoze this one in before November started. :) 5 minutes to spare.
Just FYI, I’m driving down to Fresno this weekend to canvass for Andrew Jazz, the guy running against Devin Nunez. Wish me luck...
