WOTM: Craig Wants To Have His Trees And Eat From Them Too
Okay, I know I've made quite a few videos about William Lane Craig and his new book in the last six months. But this one is such a "gotcha" I just couldn't resist. I also think this might be the most important topic (in light of Bill's book) in counter apologetics right now.
This video will show you just how difficult it is to get an idea out of your mind once you've been indoctrinated with it. Someone wrote in to Bill about his view of death, given his new book, and he fell right back into old habits. I don't think it was innocent, in any way though. I think he's just a very deceptive person, and will even undercut his own thinking if it serves the apologetic in that moment. Awful!!!
Well, once again, I come to you with immeasurable gratitude. Thank you all so much for helping me with these videos. I have one I'm working on for next month which more fully expresses my passion for what I'm doing here. I do think we're at an inflection point in this country... world(?). And although, I'm a very tiny cog in the wheel, I feel compelled to try to reach others — who do indeed hear what I have to say from time to time, and change their minds. I know of nothing more difficult. So your continued support really is a blessing... Uhm... no wait. I hate that word. I don't even say "bless you" when people sneeze. I say, "good sneeze" as all good Atheists should. Another problem you all helped me solve. Your continued support is deeply appreciated. There! That's better.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Please stay safe and smart. And I'll see you all again next month! B

The narcissism that a human "fall" distorted the entire universe is so overwhelming as to seem pathological.
Hitch, that's such a good point. How has it never occurred to me?!!!
Immortality wasn't on the table in the story either! A&E were not expelled from the Garden because they ate from that Tree. They were expelled because they could not also be trusted to not eat from the Tree of Life. Yahweh forbade eating the fruit of both tress. read the story, Bill!
When people sneeze I say, "Gesundheit" which is German for "good health". I wish good health for any of you who read or listen to W L Craig and have your brain melted. BKD, I agree -- why do people take the Craigster seriously??
I say “f you” when people sneeze without covering it. 🤗
It's like watching how fanfic is made.
He can’t give up on the money train of apologetics.
I don't know why — perhaps because money isn't important to me, but I always forget the money angle. I know that's what made Prager the fanatic he's become. I suspect that's Bill's motivation too.
Watched parts l, ll, and lla? Is this his prelude to deconstructing his faith and a best seller with appearances and debates?
Poor Bill. He's giving his lectures, interviews, publishing his books simply to argue with… himself. I feel sorry for him that he's still trying to throw out the bathwater yet cling to the mythological baby. It's sad… and pathetic.
