WOTM: If God Is God, Part III: The Reckoning
In part three of this series, I ask our commenter why he doesn't put his money where his ass is. Religious people will tell you all the time that they believe in the "objective" morality of the tribal war god of Abraham. But when push comes to shove, they use all the same tools Atheists use to determine morality (in opposition to their god's instructions) — they question, reason, consider the mores of society, and give heed to their subjective feelings. If they don't, they turn into terrorists!
This is one of my favorites in a long time. It's rare when someone hands you a clear and overwhelming victory. In the future, this is going to be my tact whenever I'm dealing with believers talking about this subject. Thanks again, Patrons!!! You make ever video possible! I think you'll enjoy this one.

Who was that scary looking white woman in the strange poofy dress at @ 1:42?
I understand and agree with your point here Brian, but I also agree with Jim that you should be careful when daring or encouraging already delusioned people.
I fear this video is going to get yanked immediately because someone will claim you are inciting people to murder women.
That's interesting. I thought of that when I was doing it. Hopefully, people will see that it's not a dare. I'm horrified at the thought. I've actually wanted to show some of the after pictures from these stonings. You can find them on YouTube, and I think this is one of those things that people talk about, and the think it's something that happened in Old Testament times so they feel no connection. I want Christians to see that and then tell me that was EVER a moral thing to do to... anyone. You've made me realize I probably need to put something in there for the general YouTube release — clarification? Disclaimer? "Please don't actually do this — I don't want Christians to be terrorists"? What do you think? Thanks!
Damn! That was a particularly good one! Kudos to Bri Bri!
Thanks, Brian. So glad to see your parents spelled your name correctly. I’ve seen so many men messed up by their parents spelling Brian with a “y.” Very sad.
Well, hell yeah… those Arkansasians had it comin' at Mountain Meadows. Their righteous executioners were simply obeying Elohim's objective morality, as dictated through a living prophet. "Brethren: do your duty!"
