WOTM: David Mitchell on Atheism, Pt. II
I got so many great comments on the first video, I kinda had to make this follow-up. This one deals with the likelihood of David's "all-powerful, benevolent God" existing. What's astonishing is that anyone can look around at the world in which we live and imagine that possibility. Denial is a very powerful force.
More to come. Thanks for all your help!!! B

It's a shame, because David Mitchell is one of the funniest (esp w Webb) and irreverent comedians out here. This God dude… he really fucks our shit up, doesn't he?
Why does the god have to deal with process? Just create the final result and get it over with, if you're omniscient you know exactly how its gonna turn out.
Exactly!!! But I love the way you put it — “deal with process.” I’m stealing that!
NOT RETURNING EACH OTHERS CALLS. 🤣🤣🤣
The logical somersaults one must go through to think a "benevolent" god exists are so twisted that it could be an Olympic sport. Occam slices right through such beliefs. And why cling to them, wish for them? Because people are afraid of death? So terrified that they'd just as soon live forever as slaves groveling at the feet of such a cruel, egocentric, narcissistic tyrant? Holy heresy, just give me death, thanks. The only reason I would ever entertain even a tiny, minuscule wish that god exists would be… so I could spit in his fncking face.
Exactly. Simply and well put... thanks. Much appreciation
