I know it was a complete waste of time, but I went looking for “most rational modern Christian apologist” on Google and I’m really depressed at what I found. I had to add in “modern” because without it, all you get are old dead dudes from the Middle Ages or before, and it’s really sad that those are considered the best Christian apologists of all time.
I find them all laughable. But let’s look at who Christians think are actually good modern apologists. It’s not a pretty picture. Continue reading I’m Doomed!
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost all respect for bullshit. I don’t put up with it anymore. I’ve got more important things to do. Nowhere is this more true than in discussions online, where people will just throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks and when it doesn’t, they just make excuses.
Yesterday, Matt Dillahunty put up a video on his channel where is pulled his standard political whiny nonsense, the same stuff that I’ve pointed out many times in the past, and, amazingly, his entire comment section lit up and most people were saying the same thing that I’ve been saying for years!
I’ve started to get rid of YouTube channels that can’t stick to a single topic. There are a number of atheist channels that have started producing a ton of political content.
This goes for both sides of just about any issue these days, although it’s most easily seen at the extremes. They are all doing the same thing, pretty much for the same reasons, then pointing fingers at everyone else and calling them hypocrites.
I’ve been on a years-long search for any religious apologist, theologian, or just a believer worth a damn and so far, I haven’t found it. I’ve brought this up in many videos and occasionally, I have questions about it.
I just finished writing a long video, and I don’t want to give anything away since it won’t appear on the channel for about 2.5 months, but I still wanted to talk about something that I have observed in the “atheist community” a lot. That is, the desire to decry the religious when they do an irrational thing and then, do the same irrational thing about non-religious subjects and be completely oblivious to it.
This is going to be a quick one because there isn’t a lot to say. I watched a couple of videos today on being critical of feminism and the far left, but in so doing, every single one of them pushed a far-right, hyper-Christian position.
There was a recent call over on The Line from a woman named Angel in Ireland and while the call wandered around a lot, there were two points that I wanted to touch on. First, she asked if every religion in the world became “extremely progressive” overnight, would Matt and Jimmy still fight against them, and secondly, when talking about skepticism, she kept insisting that she was open-minded, as if they were the same thing.
This happens all the time, but I’m going to talk about one specific instance because this is why it’s really hard to tell the difference between true believers and poes and trolls.
