    I asked my brother in law if he would sacrifice his son to God. He answered that he hoped he would have faith to do it. Which means he means to obey! I, an atheist, told him, if I saw you sacrificing your son... my nephew, I would stop you.

      Sad that people in this day and age still believe this mythology from millenia ago. And sacrifice the child? Do they even realize how absurd and horrible this is? I hope the son grows up and goes to college and never looks back!

      +Josh Pedrick If you really want, why not go with "Jay" as in J.
      JP as name your buddies call you by could also work.
      It's not the same as shedding the name completely but it works practically without anything but saying "hey, i'm sick of being Josh, can you call me that please". Officially changing the name would probably be a hassle with a shitload of paperwork included for all contracts and insurance policies you've ever subscribed to ;)

      "History is shrouded in violence! The fact it records things that make us uneasy is a good reason to have confidence in it."
      Not really... why would anybody honestly interested in morality and good living only celebrate the bloody bits of history and the moments when Israel behaved idiotically (going back to idol worshipping 20 or 30 years after god has rained fire and brimstone on them or sent the last powerrful enemy to punish them for it again and again and again) and not also record the good times and acts of mercy? The bible is a long tedious horror story of failure and god's temper tantrums, history would be far more balanced and spread out over good and evil.

They preach the wonderful sermons of love and justice but gods unimaginable genocide and slavery was all but ignored. Don't question God right ? He has a master plan after all! I just laugh my ass off now. But to be honest this entire story sounded so farfetched to me i used to laugh a little in my mind quietly, just quietly enough hoping God couldn't hear me. Most of the time i didn't really care though ... He's like the uncle who never shows up for family gatherings. You just kinda stop caring ...

    This is probably the best in-depth explanation of the horrors of the Bible that I've yet to come across. Not only does it cover the majority of the issues involved, but it does so in a quick, clear and precise manner. Other explanations tend to tackle one subject at a time and get bogged down in details and lengthy explanations. Even the average christian can sit still long enough to take THIS one in.

I was a Pastor and Youth Pastor and have a degree in theology - the Bible was my life. But there really isn't a Christian alive (who isn't a sociopath) that can entirely excuse these verses.
    Now I'm making videos exposing the weaknesses and lies of creationism. When we make this info accessible, people will be able to see the chains that they revere so much.

    Yeah, but at least we are collectively trying to grow out of our violent ways through modernism and reason. If God really was one of knowledge and love, he would teach his people how to better themselves to the highest degree, not sanction and regulate their barbarism. We are having to pull ourselves out of the mire, and we are slowly realizing as a whole that the way to reach new levels is not through an unchanging god.

    I must start by saying that I am NOT an atheist. I can't decide weather to call myself an AGNOSTIC or a DEIST. This podcast series is very informative as well as entertaining. I am a recovering addict. I got clean with the help of Narcotics Anonymous back in 1996 and never looked back except for my 12 step work, in which I uncovered a lot of resentment toward religion. I had rejected "my parents religion" simply upon the apparent (to me) ridiculousness of the stories of "Adam and Eve" and "The Flood and Noah's Ark". Oddly enough, your podcasts have been helpful in my efforts to let go of these resentments. I'm still not an atheist!

Can you please discuss the "unforgivable sin" as I was once described by a pastor in a Lutheran private school in the 5th grade.

    One of my favorite musicals growing up in the church was Children of Eden. I still find the music enjoyable, though the story still reminds me of exactly why I left the faith. It is truly lamentable that religion punishes the intellectual and the curiosity of man.

    I'd like to make a villain in a story based on either Moses or Jahve. After all the evil of said biblical characters is greater than that or Emperor Palpatine or Sauron.

    Every religious person PERIOD needs to listen to this, but especially the moderates, who try to justify the crazy and batshit insane stories in the bible

    I was raised in a pentecostal home all my life. In high school. I was a 'jesus freak' and attended all church services and all church gatherings. I was also very active in the youth group, choir and the human video group. At age 22 I became an Atheist. I started questioning christianity before then, but at 22 I became Atheist. I am now 28 and very happy in my beliefs. Also, I live in Alabama and get looked down upon for my beliefs by the same 'christians' that I used to attend church with....

    My girlfriend has two grandkids. They are being taught to say Jesus all the time. It sickens me. I see how insidious Christianity is. Children are being victimized by their own parents. Those parents were victimized and now they are perpetuating the cycle. I want to save those children from a lifetime of abuse being taught guilt, shame and fear. But if I said anything the entire family will attack me. Christianity is so destructive. I could stop fires from destroying a house but I can’t stop people from destroying their children.

    Actually, that's how I found your channel in the first place. I was perplexed by Alan Feduccia's rather curious views on bird evolution (and the shameless abuse of said views by creationists) so I searched TH-cam and your video came up. I gave it a go and was very impressed by your arguments. I think you may have found your niche on TH-cam!

    Really like your videos.
    I went through just about the same re catholic
    school from grade four through grade ten before I
    realised that not one of their teachings(courses) on religion,
    was believable. It came to the point that I had to make
    a change for the better.
    Atheism was my choice and to this day, my life is
    a lot better.

    I actually recently read a post on FB where someone claimed that the ordeal of the bitter water wasn't actually abortion. LOL. They also claimed that having the rapist marry his victim was actually a way to protect her from further harm.

    I'd read the Bible probably three times at least, front to back, during my childhood and teen years. When I sat down with it again in 2008 in an attempt to renew my decaying faith, I noticed that I had... overlooked several things. I was reading it without the "god glasses" at that time. I wondered how in the world I had missed all that horror those other times! Funny how that works...
    The end song is hilarious!

    I found out that a burnt offering isn't one where the meat is burnt to a crisp.
    Burnt, in the context of the Old Testament, simply meant cooked.
    The sacrifices weren't really a religious ritual, but a way for the priests to get free barbecued meat.
    And it wasn't just meat but other food as well.

    And the "payments" you make during your life are in the form of your time and energy you could be spending enjoying being alive and experiencing life fully--your ability to sell this same product to others, etc. All for some carrot you don't even get to see--you just get to be promised it exists and one day you'll get it so long as you believe

    There were a lot of these stories I had heard as a believer and excused, but there are also a lot I didn't hear that I know I wouldn't have excused either. Its weird the way your mind works once you start with the answer that "God's always right and has his reasons." Looking at it objectively changes EVERTHING.

    I LOVE Matthew 10:32. I'm so GRATEFUL it's in there, because now, I'm off the hook - Jesus himself disqualifies me from following him. No longer do I have to agonize over whether to try living up to the ridiculous expectations and requirements of a faithful follower. The simple fact that I love several of the loving human beings in my life over and above this cryptic, psychotic, metaphysical murder and his criminal dad frees me completely from the impossible task of following ANY instructions or orders from the great crime family in the sky. Hallelujah!

    Punctuated equilibrium was just paleontology finally catching up with what had already been determined by biologists in the field of population genetics. The scarcity of species-species transitions in vertebrates (bear in mind, lions and tigers are different species and morphologically almost identical) was explained already in biology, but no biologists were talking to paleontologists (in an age before the internet) about their findings. Gould and Eldredge just brought us up to speed.

    This is also the same book (well, collection of such) which specifies that you need to sprinkle the blood on the east side of the altar first (the altar of which must be exactly 3x5x4 cubits) and other such micromanagement details.
    Or all those long lists of begats.
    I don't know who wrote Jepthahs book, but if it's the same kind of people who wrote the Pentateuch, I don't feel they would leave out such a detail.
