PragerFU: What's Wrong With Atheism?
PU has a new series of videos featuring Dr. Stephen Meyer, Director of (lack of) Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute, which pushes intelligent design. Apparently, he's their "science" guy, despite intelligent design's complete lack of science.
In their first video in the series, Dr. Meyer tells us what's wrong with Atheism. But in doing so, he leaves himself open to a devastating retort, which I exploit to high heaven (pun intended). And he does so by quoting Richard Dawkins, which makes it that much sweeter!
I think you'll enjoy this one. You'll see that I had a good time making it.
Thanks gang, for all your help. Three more are on the way this evening — and a day early! Woohoo!!! B

Ha! I immediately expected to hear Dr. Prager's, "filled with an immeasurable amount of injustice and suffering." quote.
I thought of putting that in there. Probably a mistake that I left it out. But I hit that thing pretty hard a couple years ago.
I can't recall whether you have taken on this concept before but it might work for you. Christians seem hell-bent (see what I did there?) on trading in their lives here on Earth to go live in Heaven. But if you look in Christian scripture for a description of Heaven, what you get is cricket, cricket, cricket. So, why are these Christians so eager to "live forever" in "paradise" when they don't know whether they will be serving pina coladas, or really know anything at all about the living conditions? Inquiring minds want to know . . . what your take is on this compelling topic. (Oops this paragraph was suppposed to be last--its a miracle!) So, I have a lot of questions. Do we wear clothes in Heaven and, if so, where do they come from and "Is fashion allowed?" Do we eat in Heaven. (As a 75-year old human the vast majority of my pleasure in life comes via my taste buds.) If we do eat, who prepares the food (I assume women from the Bible, but . . .). Actually I have a novel idea for Hell. Instead of the Lake of Fire, Hell could be indefinite servitude in Jesus's heavenly father's mansion of many rooms. But those "in Hell" would be servants doing all of the cooking, cleaning, etc. It would be like a heavenly Upstairs-Downstairs. Those "in Hell" would constantly have rubbed in their faces all of the glories of life in heaven, all of the good food, fancy beds, lots of sex, of which they get none. As a twist, maybe they could escape Hell by truly repenting and humbly accepting their tasks for a millennium or two and then they would be promoted.
I’m just gonna take this as a revelation from God. Sound better than other people’s ideas.
I immediately wonder if Stevie has ever experienced a kidney stone carving its way through a ureter that his "intelligent designer" designed much too small for such an arrowhead. Would he then conclude that such pitiless indifference has a… purpose!?!
That was one of the most painful comments to read ever!!! I'm so uncomfortable now!
