WOTM: Religion Makes People Stupid, Part I
I'm gonna start doing a little more of this. There are a lot of new, young, apologetic YouTubers making fools of themselves with some regularity. Yes, it's fish in a barrel, but they do try to bullshit their way through some really good topics — like this one: Why Didn't God Just Start Us Off In Heaven?
Despite saying that Christians shouldn't bluff an answer, that's exactly what our friend does throughout this entire video. Some of his comments are so obtuse, you'll hardly believe it. I suspect you'll have a similar reaction to my own. Lot's of facepalming watching this thing. And I'm not going to make you wait for part two. Just give me a few.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You're all the very best people I know. Enjoy!!! B

Wow! He just loves shooting himself in the foot. I want to ask him if the crucifixion was a good thing or a bad thing? If it's bad, would you rescue him from it if you could? If it's a good thing then how is it a sacrifice?
Hey Bri Bri! Just wanted to thank you for another year of enlightening, humorous content, making even this past shit year a little more bearable. Have a great 2021!!
That's so kind, Richard. Thank you. Whether it's here or on YouTube, you are in the pantheon of great commenters, who, when the notification arrives, I read immediately. So glad I could make this shit year a little less shitty.
The Problem of Evil is not solved by giving everyone free will. The Problem of Evil could have been solved had this god given us free will ... but not the will to do evil. We could choose to sin over and over but not commit evil ... or are these people redefining evil to be any sin ... like wearing garments of blended fabrics? What douche bags. You and I and almost everyone else alive lives without the will to do evil ... but we have free will otherwise. So, couldn't this all-powerful god make everyone in our image? And, young Cameron doesn't explain why this complete and un-needing god needs our love, praise, worship, etc. Why does this god need anything from us? Explain that God-boy!
Yes, they’ve doomed their own theology by saying sin is sin, and that there are no gradations. Meaning, if God wanted to see which of us would choose good over evil, he could have completely limited our options for evil to... stealing pen or a robe from a hotel. I’m actual writing a piece for next month on this topic. Thanks for the insight!
Again... with the strong finish in the last minute. Well done!
Thanks. That CPU analogy was very kind. 😉
Some day (I'm dreaming now) I'd like to see a concise video about just how Jesus dying on the cross means I must love him. I don't feel love; I feel manipulated.
I’m gonna have to start paying you a writing fee. That’s a good one!
Sorry, Brian… but I cannot bring myself to call this guy "intelligent." The questions he tries to "slay" with his facile, shallow, purely speculative answers are mythological Hydras: they only grow even more questions.
True. But I did the same when my mind was still corrupted. Didn't you?
Hey, kid - I *would* like some of that love potion, thank you. I’ve been waiting for Keith Richards for nearly a half-century now, and I’m starting to get concerned that I may die before he gets to me. So I’d appreciate it if you could ship me a vial, and if it works, I’ll be happy to credit your god for it.
Keith does it for you, huh? Big Stones fan?
