WOTM: Absurd and Atrocious, Part I
Hey gang!!! I hope you all had a great holiday. This two-part series is about the natural progression from absurdity to atrocity in the context of religion (as observed more generally by Voltaire).
As I explain through these two videos, I believe that absurdity is the heart of atrocity as it defiles the mind and our ability to think rationally. Once you've surrendered to the irrational, anything is possible.
In part one, the idea of the absurd is discussed both historically, and as I intent to use the term throughout these videos. Thanks so much for all your help! More videos to come tonight, along with additional appreciation for all your help. You're all the best people ever! Except you, Peter. B

Ah… so this is why, in the 21st century, some people who still believe in a stone-in-a-hat. The absurdity validates it!
