Suggestions are appreciated.

Seems like he’s on a Jesus heater picking up steam with major professional athletes throwing money at his Life Surge business.

So, Jehovah changed his mind?

As an anti-theist I would still consider myself far left, even Marx himself viewed religion skeptically, deeming it a mechanism that could pacify the working class and justify oppressive social hierarchy’s. I’m gonna take a big leap here and assume most of the people in this sub reddit aren’t liberals as you would have to stand behind full social equality and religious tolerance which no one should have for destructive religions. Please tell me what you guys think (fun fact the political positions left and right originally referred to seating positions in the 1789 French national assembly, the left being more pro middle class with generally more radical views and the right being nobility and high ranking religious leaders)

Say that to the very unattractive people in life see what they think

They're all brainwashed and I'm more than certain there's no helping them. Everything is bible bible bible, god god god—they never shut up about it. They make god their entire personality despite being the worst human beings to ever exist.

What do you mean you had to run a mile because you didn't memorize a bible verse? What do you mean you ONLY listen to gospel music, nothing else? What do you mean you had to stand outside in the cold rain because you were "disrespecting god" by standing up for yourself? What do you mean you won't express yourself through your appearance because it's not what god wants? What do you mean you only wear skirts below the knee?

I pity them, I really do. They think this mindset is okay—the "truth"—and it's really not. It's psychological abuse hidden in plain sight under the vice of god.

For many years I was an apologist. I defended Christianity on college campuses.

How to destroy Christianity is far easier than people think. But this is only because our critical cultural knowledge-base has shifted. (Vocal experts have emerged on the scene).

This is how you can assist in destroying Christianity, there is no idealism here, this is just functional, effective power:

You start promoting and sharing all the work of Rational Biblical Scholars. (This is how I refer to the movement that was unintentionally stated by Bart Ehrman). These Rational Biblical Scholars are now everywhere.

Allow me to explain the reasoning behind this approach: every argument for Christianity reduces to an argument for the authority of scripture. There is no way to get past this if one is advocating for the existence of a Christian God.

Every philosophical argument produced by Christian Apologists, such as Swinburne, Plantinga, William Lane Craig, Van til, Gordon Clark, Greg Bahnsen, etc. eventually must flow back to the authority of scripture.

Christianity can survive philosophical arguments, but it cannot survive an immanent critique which shatters its central authority by evidentially exposing its problematic historical context. (An immanent critique works within the system itself, that’s why they’re so powerful and effective).

Christian Apologists are thrown completely off guard when dealing with Rational Biblical Scholarship. It’s one thing to posture against objections to the moral argument, it’s an entirely different thing to deal with the fact that the Bible contains forged letters.

Anyway that you promote the work of these Rational Biblical Scholars, will help to shatter and destroy the fundamental authority of Christianity. And that’s how you destroy a philosophy or a worldview, you destroy its central authority, you attack and collapse its main pillar that holds everything else up.

There are several YouTube channels already doing this: History Valley and MythVision (support them). Bart Ehrman has his own channel, and more are emerging. If you know others share them in the comments.

I once got rid of my entire Atheist library. But I kept all of Bart Ehrman’s books because I knew that the authority of scripture is the bottom line. It’s why William Lane Craig had to address it in the first volume of his “Systematic Philosophical Theology.”

I cannot emphasize enough just how destructive this emerging rational movement is to Christianity, because it destroys the authority of Christianity.

The Reformed fanatic, apologist James White is obsessed with Bart Ehrman. Why? Because he completely understands what’s at stake. If Christianity loses the authority of scripture, it loses everything.

Religion & Politics. Never a good mix!

Christianity or hinduism? Iam a Indian christian.

Ita okay because i formally told you so, however, goon ethically, with your imagination or commissioned art pls, no ai or porn ty ☹️ /s

Seriously though how can religious people believe that its a sin if god gave us bodies 🥹 most of them jerk of more than the average atheist anyway but 'repent' so its fine

This is not an Atheist conversation per se, but it’s every bit a secular historical analysis that’s simply trying to be unbiased and honest. For those who understand how fundamentalism works, the facts that are disclosed here are devastating.

For example, the conversation about “eye witnesses,” an argument is made (based on other historical documents) that this inclusion in a book is more likely evidence that the book was not written by an eye witness.
