WOTM: In Context
I'm very proud of this video. I think it presents one of the most devastating critiques of Christianity I've ever articulated. I've been dancing around this idea for years now, but have never really been able to put everything together like I have here.
The first few minutes are more playful. Then, when our host makes his final statement, that's when the good stuff begins. In context, the fact that the evidence for Jesus' life, death, and resurrection is so poor — so non-existent, is absolutely ridiculous. For everything riding on that life and death, the lack of evidence is absolutely criminal on God's part! And beyond stupid! I'm dying to know if you think I nailed it with this one (pun intended).
And now, let me tell you all how much I love you!!! I can't believe I get to do this. I really love making these videos for you guys and the broader YouTube audience. I'm not getting rich off this. Trust me. But I get by — DOING SOMETHING I REALLY LOVE DOING! What a wonderful gift you people give me every month. I might as well have 12 birthdays a year. That's what it feels like every month — but in a good way. LOL!!!
Thank you all so much. You're all my very best friends and my favorite people (aside from JewG and Cookie). 😘 I'll see y'all next month with another batch — Hitch willing! Enjoy!!! B

Ya know... they didn't have cameras back then, but kinda funny not ONE SINGLE sketch, drawing or painting was made of ole Jeebus from the 1st OR 2nd century...
Yeah, so much reality to care about. And instead… D’oh!!!
The importance of religions 'n stuff to our species is so ultimately depressing. In the presence of a severe triple or quadruple or whatever crisis to our very biosphere (climate, biodiversity, pandemics, war, starvation, plastic waste...) this all is so utterly stupid and ridiculous. So glad, that we have excellent eye witness of Frodo and Sam.
You have every right to be proud of this one! As proven over and over apologists do not think through their utterances before uttering them . . . and ain't that the utter truth.
That was Joseph Smith’s question. Actually, that was the question of a lot of people once the New World was discovered. Joseph’s idea about Jesus coming to the New World after his resurrection was not new. It was stolen from other writers — Ethan Smith in particular.
And why rely on 1st century humans and technology to spread the Word? Jesus went to all the trouble of rising from the dead - and then left The Great Comission to eleven loutish peasants in the backwoods?? How were the poor slobs supposed to let North Americans know??
If God absolutely wanted us to believe in the resurrection as a fact of history, why didn’t Jesus himself walk around Jerusalem? You know… get back on the donkey and make a grand re-entrance in a Palm Sunday redux while screaming fans shout Hosanna and throw rose petals in his path. Would’ve been a sight to behold. Why didn’t the resurrected Jesus walk into Pontius Pilot’s palace and tell the world what happened? You know, own the Roman bitches as the maker of the cosmos that he is. Walk in with a cocky swagger, pushing powerless Roman guards out of the way with grandiose Hollywood-style super-hero arm gestures as if they hit an irresistible force field, their puny swords being impotent against omnipotence. Maybe if that happened, it would have been so documented by non-believers that we wouldn’t need photos or video. Why all the secrecy for something God wanted us to know about?
It is my belief that the resurrection should have been announced like the so-called second coming, a world wide event that no one could miss. There would be no need for eyewitnesses or, even faith. God has his priorities backwards. He will do this to come in judgment, but could he not have done this for salvation? It’s all so absurd.
WOW!!! Such a great point! Never thought of that one either. It’s always nice to ba around people smarter and more insightful than oneself. I’m gonna have to make a video about that angle too. I trust you’re okay with the blatant theft(?). 😉😬
One of the best questions I have never even considered. Amazing amazing amazing. Also Happy Birthday!
Great job! And happy birthday.
Thanks so much!!!
I want to ask a Christian what happens to the people who believed in Jesus because they met him and knew he was real, and not through faith. Does the god not like faithless believers? Is there a separate section of heaven for them, or a separate circle of hell? Inquiring minds want to know!
I… just… can't… with these zealots. The veneer of their reasoning reveals that they're australopithecines, lacking an evolved cerebral cortex. And the icing on the caca is that these very people are themselves eye witnesses to what is now happening to our planet… yet deny it as a "hoax." What are ya gonna do? Believe your lying eyes?
Trump told them not to believe what they see and read. Listen only to him! He's the source of all truth. Oh, and the Bible he's never read and knows nothing about.
Thanks Bri Bri, many happy returns. I feel "blessed" by your presence. Thank you, thank you, thank you....
