So basically he's saying that his glasses greatly increase his IQ

Ok so after 15 minutes of prep talk and 3 minutes of poisoning the well against anyone who questions his “evidence” Josh finally gets to presenting his case. What he doesn’t tell you is , nobody mentions an “empty tomb” for over 40 years after Jesus’ death. Peter doesn’t mention an “empty tomb” , Paul never mentions an “empty tomb” nobody, for at least 40 years puts down one drop of ink on a parchment about an empty tomb and then all of a sudden, when they start writing resurrection narratives about Jesus an “empty tomb” appears. Then we have Joseph of Arimathea , Josh makes a big deal about this man, “we know he’s a rich man , we even know where he comes from!!!” What Josh doesn’t tell you is we don’t have any records outside of the gospels that this man even existed. Josh doesn’t tell you, we don’t know where Arimathea is, there’s no archaeological evidence that the place ever existed. And it’s a little odd that a highly regarded person in the Sanhedrin would out himself as a secret disciple of Jesus by publicly putting the body of a condemned heretic in his family tomb. That would created some very awkward conversations in the office on Monday morning would you say? No Josh, the empty tomb and Joseph of Arimathea, just like most of the martyrdom stories are church lore. You presenting them as facts is very manipulative and you are a very emotionally manipulative speaker. You know you are, that’s whey you even said “I’m not playing music some I’m not trying to emotionally manipulate you”. You are manipulating these poor people by selling lies and you know they are lies. You are a horrible horrible person who was made that way by an equally emotionally damaged father.

"Lying For Jesus" is STILL LYING.

It wouldve been funny if sometime michael heiser had showed up with a question 😂 thatd be a cool crossover

29:04 i know hes pretending, but there is evidence for the exodus 😂 titus Kennedy, his source, points to the early exodus based on archaeologylol

Wow, these people are not all peetending, right. Just JMcD. They know so little 😮

Amen!!!!!!!!

I'm puzzled. You could be a bit less naive in portraying your character. I do not feel we make a good service when we do not engage the best arguments in the best way

Dr. McDowell gave a somewhat lackluster performance as an atheist, but not without some authenticity. I give him a B-. I would recommend that you look up the Harmonic Atheist on YT. On his channel you can hear many ex-Christians give authentic testimony as to why they are now atheists.

So if you have "evidence"...there's no need for faith, is there?

Sean has gotten so good at this that I now believe that he is probably an Atheist who just pretends to be a Christian.😅

"Jesus performed miracles in front of people and they still didn't believe"...is the excuse apologists give for why God has been a "no-show" on miracles in front of large numbers of people, especially in the post-19th Century, since the invention of photography, cinema, and video. "Oh, God could make manna rain from Heaven, but he won't because you still wouldn't believe it was a miracle."....sort of like the old "I can fly around like Superman, but I won't do it because then you'd reveal my secret powers and the Government would kidnap me."

This “atheist” sounds like an asshole. I see what you’re doing there. How about next time you bring in a real atheist ?

I saw my mother rise from the dead and walk to the shops. What is the evidence ? I saw it.

I thought you were talking about evidence You have to have enough evidence to think that someone actually rose from the dead And what you're saying I believe the people were sincere when they said that he rose from the dead that's not evidence He was only on the cross for a few hours maybe he didn't actually die Maybe at twin brother There could be a whole bunch of reasons why somebody It's seen after death and even just aliens faking it is better than that of a man dying and coming back from the dead If you have to have enough evidence that it happened that it dispensed disbelief it would obviously happen to everyone that dies If I told you that ate breakfast yesterday you might just take me at my word why not If I told you I had a pet dragon in my barn you'd wanna see it if I said it was invisible You'd wanna be a little feel it That said it was you can't feel it either it's the existence of a different plane of existence But really it's there I'm gonna have to compose some serious evidence to prove that that's the case You didn't do that I'm very disappointed Jesus said that you would have the ability to perform greater science than even me With the faith of a mustard seed you could move mountains We wouldn't have hospitals we just have christians pray of it pray over us and we get better That would be some evidence That's a big claim As you pointed out with Christopher Hitchens his famous statement was extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

Delusion boy point it right back to Donald Trump again there are people saying that antifa was responsible for the January 6th They swore this on all their right wing channels on news My brother pointed out to me trying to tell me that these people were all antifa and black lives matters and not from supportersWhile watching it on film and watching the 3% is proclaiming the violenceRight in front of him

There are people that rob the graves for lots of reasons He had many disciples Not just a 12 yet huge following Look how devout the trump Followers are they still believe he won the election There are still people that believe Elvis is alive

I'm just as sad so you see and now you believe better is it for those that have not seen and still believed And then flew a jet into a building and killed everybody for their beliefs Just aside muslims do believe in Jesus

Ever hear of any suicide bombers, Kamikaze People are going to die for lots of ideas even ideals

The only thing not believable about Sean's performance is; I've never see an atheist so up beat about his new found lack of belief.

this school must have a real bad bug problem with those big blue lights on stage 😂

Great way to make the point! I trust the lesson will stick in our mind for a long time. Bless the Lord for using you for this Impact!

"Evolution" isn't how we "got here". That would be abiogenesis.........for the next time you pretend to be an atheist. Other than that, you did a fair job of "pretending the atheist". Having said that, there is truth to the statement that there isn't any credible or verifiable evidence of the Bible claims. Is Christianity actually true? I understand McDowell believes it to be true. But from an actual atheist [agnostic atheist], there is an issue of honesty...and how I can only view this topic. The things you said "as the reason you're an atheist" were mostly valid. But I'm not "an atheist because of evolution and the Big Bang". But I do like that you point out that even Christians can be abusive towards atheists. I've been in _more_ conversations with Christians than I can remember where they were extremely condescending, arrogant, verbally abusive, twisting my words, putting words in my mouth, etc. What this demonstrates is that the Christian is 1. lacking actual arguments, or 2. is just a nasty person, regardless of their worldview. I hope that, at least, these students realize that civil conversation is of value, even if the atheist doesn't accept your claims.

Taking "Dr." McDowell down is as easy as challenging him to back up his "God is good" claim with a list of hypothetical acts which cause so much pain, misery, suffering and grief that, although he believes his "evil Satan" might perpetrate such acts against people, his "good" god _never_ would. Watch him balk! 🤣

To understand atheism, just swap gods for other hypothetical beings e.g. Martian microbes. Do they exist? Most people are neutral. This is agnostic nonbelief. Some fewer believe they do not exist. This is agnostic disbelief. A very rare few will outright claim they don't exist. This is gnostic denialism. Same with atheism & gods.

Btw this is me!

That's funny! Thanks for uploading! Hey, #ImpactConference, I don't suppose you guys recorded 321 Improv's ten o'clock show did you? I didn't see if you guys did but if so, if at at possible, do you think you could upload that too?

Impact is Awesome!

Watch my 2013 recap rap please(:

Great job everyone!

We should have explained more. All but 2 of these kids are homeschooled. They like to joke back and forth with the public school and Christian school kids about their different experiences. I wrote this sketch and I am a home school mom. Joking reduces the tension. Did you notice, at the end of this drama, it is the homeschool girl who stands up for herself and says "I like being innocent!" and then she took charge and gave the best idea anyone had during the sketch.

wonderful performance. challenging topic. best part is that you guys really believe and live by the things you talked about in this performance.

Our Drama About Sex and Stuff

That had to be the biggest group of people I ever wore that beanie in front of.

That had to be the biggest group of people I ever preformed in front of.

Everyone else did Joshua, and that's what matters!

i didnt think that joke i made was even funny...

I will remember this forever. Probably because it took place AT 3 IN THE MORNING!!!!
