WOTMQ: Pure Narcissism
Well, what a month it's been!!! My new computer bricked the first week of January. Had to send it back. Crazy winds and rain kept me from shooting. I had terrible allergies on the days I finally could shoot (you'll hear it), and then I had to do most of the editing on my old, unstable computer because the new one didn't arrive until two days ago. Exhausting!!! And frightening.
I hope you all had a better month. It feels like a new world since the 20th. Still terrifying. But at least there's someone with an IQ above 100 at the helm.
I've been wanting to make this video for a long time. I was always told that Atheist were all narcissists (when I was religious). Of course, I came to find out just the opposite — that actually started when I read "Denial of Death" in my twenties. But there's one aspect of Christianity which I feel is the pinnacle of narcissism. I think you'll agree.
Enjoy! And thanks again for all your continued (and new) support. I love you all more than my own child. Just... don't say anything to her. It would be awkward. Enjoy!!! Wait, I already said that. B

Reminds me of when I could no longer feign "Mormon-dumb," and my ex would ping-pong her attacks between (1) "What makes you think your smarter than everyone else, the prophet, the apostles, my father and grandfather?" and (2) "How can you think so lowly of yourself, believing you just 'evolved' from animals?" So… I was a narcissist with poor self-esteem? 🤪
That’s the old “any port in a storm” strategy of reasoning. Grasping at straws is something I did myself. I’m not necessarily proud. But I certainly understand.
Regarding your launching thought, that we atheists want to worship ourselves, that is again another perfect projection on the part of Christians. No two Christians have the same religion. That is because they have cherry-picked Christian ideologies and adopted that that agree with their personal opinions. That, then is their religion, and the don't dare study the Bible further on account that it might contradict their version. They also won't discuss their version with other Christians for the same reason. Imagine believing that their god had basically written a book and then not reading it or not reading it over and over and over. Narcissism indeed!
That’s a really good point! It really is incredibly personalized to each individual believer. “Cafeteria Catholics,” they used to call the Catholics who did that. You don’t hear that anymore, do you? Can’t mess with the monitization model.
It's also the ultimate name-drop! "Oh yeah, me and the infinite creator of the universe were hanging out last friday..."
Yeah, Jesus and I are close, personal friends.
