    Honestly, this sounds exactly like one of the monologues I used to hear down the pub, where some fool on snakebites would hold court and everybody would laugh about it later.
    I think pretty much everything bad can be explained by drunkenness and the brain damage resulting from it.

Much better translation, fewer words, mainly just the lyrics to Rocket Man, strangely enough, and YMCA. It's amazing.

    We are going to need Dan in this age of Project 2025. We are going to hear everything justified by referencing theology. Our cockeyed country will be removing the separation clause effectively. Dan is our only hope at truth. He somehow operates from the heart of pure red territory but I think anyone who meets him can tell in seconds how solid of a human he is. He has his belief, but manages to honestly inform us of the laughable inconsistencies and mass misinterpretation of the scriptures that poison all modern religion. Love Dan's energy and amazing depth of knowledge, it's truly shocking. I think the Art of the Deal sold a lot more copies than the KJV!!!

      Dan McClellan & Bart Erhman are two great, we'll established & respected scholars who aren't under a Dogmatic thumb skewing Biblical knowledge. Mythvision Podcast & The Thinking Atheist have hosted similar academics willing to separate the dogma from the data. Richard Carrier makes his reasoned case for why that's also important in "On the Historicity of Jesus Christ: why we have reason to doubt." Richard Carrier isn't as favored as Bart Erhman by nuanced believers because he's harder hitting with the reasons. I appreciate and agree with his take on apologetics doing far more to weaken than strengthen Dogmas.
      I doubt the Trump Cult has bought more copies of his delusions than the KJV has sold... though I am sure Donald would tell you it had until you believed him. It would be good to obtain Dr Hassan's books on the BITE model & The Cult of Trump. Especially understanding Mike Rinder's most important quote: "The difference between a religion and a cult is how they treat you when you leave." The Cult of Trump doesn't let people leave with their dignity in tact. It's going to be more important we stand with our academics and not leave them hanging to bear the brunt of caustic dogma warhounds.
      Big thanks to Daunon this information again. Well worth a social media share.

    Hi Dr. Dan,
    I've been engaging with your content and have noticed a consistent theme in your shorts and videos regarding your perspective on the nature of the divine. It appears that you assert the Bible is a composite of culturally specific narratives and prescriptive texts, authored by individuals within their respective historical and cultural milieus. You suggest that these writings were tailored for an audience of their time, thereby lacking relevance for contemporary society.
    If I am accurately capturing your viewpoint, I want to avoid a straw man argument. This stance inherently implies that the divine, if it exists, is either disinterested or incapable of meaningful communication with humans, or perhaps that no deity exists at all. Should this perspective hold, it negates the notion of any divine revelation, thus rendering the concept of inspiration as fundamentally flawed.
    In light of this, it seems we are left to navigate existence without divine guidance. The intent of my inquiry is to delve deeper into your philosophical underpinnings concerning the existence and nature of God or a deity.
    Thank you for considering my questions, as I seek to understand your position more thoroughly.
    Best regards.

      I am not Dr McClellan, but I see a few jumps in interpretation there. For example, I agree that Dr McClellan's position seems to be that the bible was tailored for an audience of their time, but that does not mean that it necessarily lacks relevance for contemporary society. In fact, I seem to recall that he has stated several times that the multivocality of the bible has allowed it to remain relevant over time. Also, I see a difference between "there is no evidence of divine revelation in the bible text" and "divine revelation is disproven and no divine guidance is possible".

      My questions are regarding an understanding of God or deity or divine. Is the Bible a divine revelation from God? If isn’t, what does that answer presuppose about God? Is God not willing or unable to communicate with creation? Or does God or deity or divine not exist? What does our view of the Bible reveal of our philosophical presuppositions about God? Does our presupposition of God come from Greek philosophy of a timeless God? Does it come from the enlightenment of reason or empiricism? Is there a God? Thank you all for your comments.

    The phrases "The King James Version of the Bible was written by King James" or "Hell was added by Rome" are unusual phrases assigning acts and agency in curious childlike constructions. I assume the creator is offering a caution about the reliability of the Bible because King James and Rome are moral uncertainties? Baffling is an understatement. I would like very much to hear his commentaries on Homer and Virgil with respect to the Iliad. You might think I am poking fun at this creator. I am not. I admire his sincerity and encourage everyone to develop their critical response tools. Great literature resonates within a diversity of receptive competencies.

      No the masses choose to believe. The divine process is about screening souls for potential. Biblically its about picking the good seed from the bad, for Gods harvest. Buddhism its the cycle of samsara et all.
      The process has to be one of self choice or self damnation. Can't have souls making it through or not because "they got tricked". That defeats the divine purpose of life.
      Heinosity is the multiplicity of souls anti-divinity inaction. Can't have capitalism without willing consumers and all that hyperbole.
