WOTM: Responding To Apologists
Happy Halloween, gang! If you're out and about, stay safe!
And let me remind new patrons that whatever amount you've pledge will be applied to each video unless you've set it up otherwise. I don't want anyone to get taken. I usually send everyone a private message, but this month has been a royal pain! Sorry.
As for the video, I don't think I've ever made my views on apologists (and anyone who thinks they know things about supernatural Beings and realms), as clear as I have in this video. This one is dripping with contempt, condescension, and outright mockery. I suspect that's why you're here. This is peak snark — but with a sincerity I hope comes through. It absolutely blows my mind that people speak with such confidence about things NO ONE knows anything about. And I mean NOTHING!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to support the cause. I think (hope) you'll really enjoy this one. B

Oscar-worthy!
Hey DC has a book, too. It details all of Superman's early life... his hopes, dreams, and shoe size. Superman is real, y'all 🤥
And he’s such a better person that Yahweh!
The supernatural is a fertile field, you can make up anything want. That was 10/10 snark. Thank you.
"The best I can do is to refrain from laughing in your face . . . " Once again Wisdom from the Mister!
Re ". . . they have their theories . . . " Ah, no, they have no theories, just speculations, mostly of the "wild ass" variety.
I heard someone mention listening to a sermon in which the Evangelical pastor was attacking evolution. The listener noted that if the pastor was so completely wrong about evolution, which was something you could look up and educate yourself on, how correct could he be about the supernatural, which you *couldn't* find objective evidence for?
Great point!!!
I hear such apologists and imagine I'm listening to Richard Gere (Billy Flynn) in "Chicago": Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Razzle Dazzle 'em Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it And the reaction will be passionate Give 'em the old hocus pocus Bead and feather 'em How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
… and lots of incest. The Bible has lots of incest.
When you say that they 'missed the point' the truth is they leap out of the way of the point because they recognize the danger. And that's the real reason I cannot take an apologist (or excuseogist (love that term, thank you)) seriously, because they are not arguing honestly. They are arguing for survival. They simply cannot afford to take your point. They know full well that the second they do, their scam is dead in the water. Your rational logical points are basically salt on a slug.
The minutiae is there, to put it bluntly, because... "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, at least baffle them with bullshit." It's a side show, a distraction that many people will buy into because it sounds like you did your homework. um...yah.
Locks. In hell??? Does that mean I have to break down the door when I get there?
