Shame, I was hoping for more comedy gold like the last post.
Especially as I made an allusion to one of your most egregious failures. But let’s not forget the others like your insistence that the child of Isaiah 7 could only be Jesus - when the text says that the birth would be a sign of events that occurred in the reign of Ahaz.

My aim is to break the mold...to be controversial
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

Well, I AM a believer, after all. You can't expect me to present my worldview under the guise of atheistic secular humanism. What I will do is to compare and contrast various ideologies and belief systems while not waffling on my own beliefs. Many of our conversations at EvC will be brought to life through some of my video commentaries. You have always claimed that I am delusional, but quite frankly the jury is still out as to which of us is actually deluded. No disrespect intended, Tangle. I know that you are of sound mind and are logical and rational.
Admittedly my beliefs are not logical in the context of modern psychological and sociological thought. But alas....I won't give them up for that reason.Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

I mentioned EvC in my video today. We may get some new visitors.

Comments are welcome. I know that ringo and jar despise all apologists, but these days I am unafraid to explore the opinions and beliefs of others though I will say that Im not going to treat all beliefs the same since I have already been persuaded by the Christian World View---thus to be fair, I am biased.

I was on the way to the mall with Vidal to help him get his cap. God has been very good to us and we expect to become known to a wider and wider audience as time commences.

Ffs Phat, I'm never going to click on your bloody videos. What do you want to say?

Bart Campolo had a followup episode on his podcast where he furthered the discussion about whether questioning Christians should be actively deconverted.
Listen to "516: Should we deconvert people on the brink? with Leah Helbling" on Spreaker. Leah Helbling is a close friend of Humanize Me and a member of the team at the humanist community Cincinnati Caravan with Bart Campolo. In this episode, the two chat about Leah's instinct to attempt to 'deconvert' those who are questioning their faith, and Bart's belief that many people are better off staying where they are. The friendly disagreement started when Bart answered a question in Episode 504 from a listener called Craig who found himself in that position. (Craig was me. AKA Phat.) Along the way, the conversation addresses some of the harm done by religion, Leah's sense of shame in her past as an evangelical woman, the kinds of Christianity available and how different they are from each other, how the length of time since deconversion can affect one's approach, the merits or otherwise of 'accommodating' Christianity, the idea that there is one best way to live or to be, to meddle or not to meddle, the difference between meddling and listening, and in what circumstances someone can know what's in somebody else's best interests. This topic was started back when I first started my Thugpreacha Facebook Page which I am still actively pursuing. I have a lot to say when I am talking with someone face to face, but find it far more difficult to "preach" or speak to a camera on my computer in an otherwise empty room with only my parakeet and Jesus."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom.

Deleted Post.
Edited by Phat, : the video media in this old post was no longer active. Subtopic is being updated as of 2/1/2023 to reflect my progression to my new post The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894). When both religious and non-religious people reach the same conclusions then you know religion isn't the reason.--Percy Democrats should not be the only party. Respect the two-party system. -Phat, in December 2022 We see Monsters where Science shows us Windmills.~Phat, remixed
