See I would never pick up a sword and cut the enemies down like your video may say so I do not believe that I will be a problem to the world .....
Let's think about what religion chops of heads. This video is not just about Christianity. So, you don't need to go to a doctor. We'll see how that works out for you in the long run.

Too threatening.

Their faith is built upon the shakiest of foundations: the pages of an old book.

Truth messes with it.

Congregating into groups, doesn't mean you hold the truth.

I'm not seeing the dodge at all. Jimmie asked if atheists and agnostics gravitate to groups, and Thrill answered, "I doubt it..." How is answering the question a dodge?

lmao

I was like 9

"He died, woke up, and then flew away? where else do we see that?"

lucky for me I had "good" parents. They understood their job.

No matter what you believe in: Program a person to be a productive member of society that tries to help as best they can. Sometimes we have to break an egg and that egg just may have to be you or one of your own.

A philosophy lost on people today I think.

So does golf...and without the added baggage.

That video has 2 serious problems. First it starts out with his preconceived bias by claiming the claim was ridiculous.

Second it offered on evidence that it was.

Typical secular fundy attempt to discredit the Bible and Christianity.
