WOTMQ: Excuses, Excuses
Hey Gang!
Feeling much better this month. And I have some good news! I'm going to start making Mr. Deity shorts. Still not sure about the format, but I'm going to shoot the first of many later this week (it's already written). They'll be under two minutes, but hopefully pack a lot of fun and power. I'm wondering how you guys feel about something short like that being one of the six videos I post here each month regularly. Does the length cause you some angst? If so, let me know. I don't want anyone feeling cheated.
As for this video, it's full of ambition. I think the term "apologist" is far too filled with unwarranted respect and caché. I want everyone in our community to start calling these people what they are — "Excusegists." That's all they do — make excuses. On the extreme end, they outright lie. But they never do anything intellectually honest. They can't. They're married to a book of pure stupidity and moral bankruptcy. More on that next month.
Thank you all so much for all your continued support. More good stuff is on the way. Keep your pants on. Or not. I'm okay with it either way. B

Mr.Deity, Brian💖, lol, I rarely look at my Gmail! Will now. Any time I can have more of YOU,that's a 'good' time!👍💙💝😘✌
They don’t apologize for that shit. They defend it. Maybe I should have gone for “Defenders of Evil”(?).
I do like the connotation of "apologetics" where it means that these people should apologize for all of the bullshit in the Bible. Apologize for all of the war/death/destruction/anti-intellectualism/brutality/slavery that book endorsed and subsequently caused. "Excusegists" is a clever re-brand.
Will be very happy to see the return of Mr Deity whatever the length as one of the six.
I'll also call 'em: sidestepists, whataboutists, antioccamists, bullshitists.
's funny. lol.
I've been calling Paulogia "Poutine Paul" for years. He thinks it's funny. lol
I’ll take whatever you goddamn got and like it!
Bring on the Mr Diety!
“I'm going to start making Mr. Deity shorts.” If you’d like some inspiration, I’ve just finished writing “2-Minute Christianity: 50 Big Ideas Every Christian Should Understand.” Each big idea is about 500 words, roughly a two-minute read. The material is available online here (free): https://2minutechristianity.com/ And the book is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578937123
I look forward to all your content no matter the length. Please carry on. :)
Rom. 5:18-19 may give you what you asked for. Paul says that as we don't have to opt in to get Adam's sin, we don't have to opt in to get Jesus's salvation. See you in heaven!
What a relief!!!
The length does not cause me any angst. Nonetheless, I'm keeping my pants on.
Are you going to adjust your Patreon pleadge schedule? Currently the pledge is "per video".
Yes, but my understanding is that you can decide how many videos you want to support per month at whatever amount. That's how I set mine up for a few friends I support here. Thought I did that way back in 2015(?). I'm not sure how or if that works now. Let me know if you have problems and I'll put some from Patreon on it.
C’mon, Bri – you know i always remove my pants before hitting “play” on one of your videos. Don’t make it weird all of a sudden.
Sorry.
