WOTMQ: That Takes Religion
While William Lane Craig and Richard Swinburn are still leaders, in terms of Christians who say/advocate stupid things, we have a whole new crop of young Christian apologists who seem to be racing up the ladder of stupidity to take their rightful place atop mount moron.
Of course, our buddy Cameron is taking the lead in his mock5 — he really is untouchable at this point. But others are on his tail. And there's not a doubt in my mind that religious devotion is at the heart of this stupidity. These people aren't morons. They just say stupid things in order to defend the indefensible... their God.
Thanks again, patron friends! Your continued support overwhelms me. I just sold some of my older, expensive cinema gear I'm no longer using since my production business died during the pandemic. But I bought some equipment which I'm hoping will up my production value a bit, giving you all a little something more to support.
Every month, I know how lucky I am that I get to do this. If I could, I would Simoniz all of your cars! That's how much I appreciate your keeping the channel afloat. You know what I'm gonna say... thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And I'll see you all next month. Stay safe and smart. 'Cause some people can't do either. ♥️ B

Bingo. That Homo sapiens is capable of zealously clinging to any unproven ideology, all while overlooking suffering, cruelty, injustice, destruction, EVIL… reinforces my conclusion that ours is a horrible species. I know of no other that can ignorantly and willingly destroy its own biosphere, environment, planet, and other species. Welcome to the Anthropocene.
I posted this comment on another video the other day, but I think it works here, too. I just had a thought while listening to this video. They were talking about how Yahweh was a monster in the OT. It was mentioned that it's so incredible what inerrantist will do and say to justify their god's actions and character. It occurred to me that it's really not so amazing how SOME deeply religious and pious Christians can take their justifications for what they believe to an extreme and be willing to apply that allegiance to human monsters. I think this may be part of why we see people that claim to follow the Jesus of the Bible and what he preached do a 180° on that ideology and viciously attack those who they believe don't agree with them. We have white supremists and neo-nazis who claim to have been given there righteous mission from on High, when objectively, they are doing incredibly monstrous things. They follow a god who is a horror and say how he is the Master. It's really no wonder that they don't see how horrendous their behavior is.
