Well well well, if it isn't cartoon me!
It was a pleasure collaborating with you Paul. Looking forward to next time!
well done mate
Hello Cartoon Me 🙋🏻♂️
Woo 🎉 Eric!!
You made the big time and even better cartoon hair! Great break down Eric!
Cartoons are cool.
Little known fact: There were originally 15 atheist non-commandments, but the tablet on which 11-15 were written dropped and broke.
15…I mean 10 commandments!
I think of this every time the commandments are mentioned. Maybe somewhere on that last tablet not owning other people was mentioned. We'll never know.
Actually, god initially wanted to give Moses only three commandments, but Moses expressed his disappointment because he was hoping to get at least 15. So as a good Jew he started haggling and eventually he got home with ten. 😅
I don’t remember where I heard that joke, unfortunately I am very bad at telling them. Feel free to borrow the idea if you know how to improve on it.😊
And what about our ancestors???😊
Dog bless Mel Brooks.
"For fun" is always a screaming admission of the apologists that theyd be willing to torture children
"If YHWH says to do it, ..."
They always mark those trips as for business, not for pleasure.
Not to mention that even that doesn't apply to all humans. From recent events in Ukraine and Israel/Gaza there exists reports of finds of remains of children who seemed have been tortured and killed in ways which can only be attributed to some kind of deprived fun.
Yes all these reports could be fake as a propaganda, but given the number I do feel that there would be some truth to that.
Also I don't think people who would do such a thing would do it knowing it's wrong. If you know you are doing wrong and do it anyway is because you'll gain something. I don't think they would gain something by torturing children (in "fun" way) against just executing them. I don't think it would work as psychological warfare, actually the opposite if you know someone did something like that you will gain new willpower to defend yourself and your loved ones not to give up - if you know that surrender will put you in that situation, you will fight to your last breath.
Yes they sing songs like," lay my Isaac down". About when Abraham went to sacrifice his own son because God told him to. What % of Christians would kill their kid if they thought God ordered them to?
Blind obedience and feelings the religion of no personal responsibility
The irony of Sean, an apologist, actually pretending to agree with
"follow the evidence"
"don't believe things just because you want them to be true"
....
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad..
Considering this is the same Sean who presented as 'atheist' to an apologism class full of students, is not that surprising.
The same dude who has pretended to be an atheist and delivered lectures, as such, to Christian kids.
That’s a liar. He even told of an atheist kid who talked to him after the lecture. Still, it did not seem to occur to him how much of a betrayal this is.
There’s someone, who keeps stating”facts not feelings”, while wearing a kippah. So yeah. It’s nothing new.
@@GeoPePeTtoWhich is why I refer to him as DisinBenuous Shapiro.
As I've also commented on his video, it's fascinating watching someone pay lip service to the value of research and science in understanding the natural world and following evidence where it leads... while limited in the evidence & conclusions he is allowed to accept by Biola's statement of faith, and also uncritically hosting & propping up known creationist liars.
Why did nobody tell us about those commandments in last week's meeting over at Atheism headquarters?!?
Cause you're not part of the inner circle...
@@c.guydubois8270 I AM el comandante of the atheist network and nobody told me, too.
Because someone rang the gong early for the baby bbq buffet and everyone went out to gorge before the announcement could be made.
You didn’t get the email?
@@philw6056 self proclaimed I'm sure...
"Read the book?! Who has time for that? I'll just make stuff up!"
I guess that is the same as they do with the bible … take a few random snippets, likely misunderstood and out of context and confabulate on that basis.
Book: These are “Atheist Non-commandments.”
Sean: The Atheist commandments.
More evidence that I am 100% correct in calling these people liars, formerly known as apologists.
In that case, I think it should be given the benefit of the doubt.
It’s so bizarre when the the theists add the “for fun” to these horrific acts. Why can’t we just say it’s wrong to torture children. Period. If anyone asked me I would say they’re both horrible and disgusting. I don’t need the “for fun” qualifier.
They have to account for God's command and Hell. Assuming God is not doing it for "fun" but rather motivated by love.
So you can for love.
Amazing morals.
To be fair, if it wasn't for the 'for fun' qualifier, there would be situations where one could argue that it is moral to torture a child - things like 'Is it moral to torture a child if it means that a hundred other children are spared torture?'
It is even more bizarre when they also describe morality as 'absolute'. But refuse to drop those weird caviats.
@@tobinfolly901 I would argue thay both things are immoral, one less than the other but immoral nonetheless.
It’s because they have to account for corporal punishment for children, which parents and even schools still practice. “Spare the rod… etc.”
If Christian scholars actually believed in what they say they believe, they wouldn’t have to needlessly strawman every atheist argument, and would engage arguments in good faith. I refuse to believe this many Christian scholars have this much difficulty understanding the atheist arguments. This is willful ignorance, or just outright lying.
If they truly feared an everlasting torture pit dishonesty wouldn’t be so prevalent amongst their group.
Indoctrination trains your brain to not work well. It's conditioning.
Deep down they know that it’s all bs. 😅
This should be the example given when the definition of what a strawman argument is.
Theyre 100% lying obvioiusly, this is just one of their many silly attempts to paint atheism as a cult/religion itself, thinking its some kind of gotcha.
@05:31 There are actually THREE versions of the Ten Words-Exodus 20; Exodus 34; Deuteronomy 5.
Exodus 34:20 is "interesting" from a moral standpoint.
So, Sean is "lying for jesus". Just another day in the neighborhood.
Like father like son, kent and Eric hovind also spring to mind
I'm shocked SHOCKED I tell you!
Considering Sean cosplays as an atheist “professor” to Christian kids…it tracks.
Christians taking commandments out of context? To be fair, that's what they did to the Jewish ones, too.
That right there, ladies and gents, is what we call a burn.
Should we expect God to know what the Ten Commandments are?
Which was Jesus's sixth commandment?
(Notice that Jesus lists only the secular commandments that make no mention of God):
1. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself:
If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
(Matthew 19:17-19)
2. Honor thy father and mother:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother.
(Mark 10:19)
3. There was no sixth. Jesus listed only five commandments:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
(Luke 18:20)
@@twitherspoon8954 According to Christians, we should expect only that God had a good excuse for why the Bible doesn't match their beliefs. Anything else is putting God to the test.
@@goldenalt3166 Yahweh created Mormons so that Christians would know how Jews feel.
Did anyone notice that the screen shot of Shaun's video shows that he has 244k subs and that the video is three months old and has only had 12k of views and 180 comments.
Paul on the other hand has 127k of subs and this video has ( at time of writing)24k of views in 21 hours.
Atheist commandments?! No! That's one of the great things about being an atheist. We think for ourselves.
When I left Christianity, I was astonished at how much more meaning and purpose I found in life now that christian mythology was no longer obstructing my view. Sean keeps expressing how unable he is to find meaning and purpose and morality in the world around us, not realizing that he's indicting his own faith. Yes, religion _does_ obstruct believers' view of the meaning and purpose that surrounds us in the world of objective reality. Thank you, Sean, for being so honest about it.
Well said. Exactly my experience as well.
All religions that say lying is a sin, often have very dishonest apologists.
Not according to atheism. Atheism actually encourages lying since the only morality atheism has to offer is get ahead by “any means possible.” When there is no foundation of principle, and atheists default to animalistic instinct, community, morality and purpose go right out the window.
“But God proved his love for us in this; While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 1:4-1:18) ✝️
@@LordOfThePancakes thanks for proving his point. Theists can't help but lie about those who reject their beliefs.
@@LordOfThePancakes Nope, that is christian morality, where the first thing that matter is 'you shall have no other gods before me' by any means necesary, including lying.
'So god loved the world that he sacrificed himself to himself for a mistake he himself commit to begin with'
Nice try though.
another way to say it is, God sacrificed himself to himself to save us from himself.
@@LordOfThePancakes According to atheism? The stance most atheist have is agnostic. Christians say morality comes from God, prove that. Sensible athiest don't say where it comes from but go with evidence of where it comes from. When you make a claim, you adopt the burden of proof. You should not make claims to things you can not prove.
18:25: When Sean says it is wrong to torture a child "for fun" he is implicitly saying it is alright to torture a child to get them to renounce their expressed gender identity or their sexual peference or their lack of religious beliefs. And he has to say the "for fun" because he does endorse the idea that children should be tortured "for God."
@@JD-wu5pfThen I dare apologists to drop 'for fun' from their oft repeated argument.
@@JD-wu5pfIt does the exact opposite that you claim, and we both know why theists use the qualifier.
@@JD-wu5pf That's like, your opinion man, and not really based in truth. You are imagining a need to protect against a easily dismissed scenario while ignoring the elephant in the room. But thanks for playing.
@@JD-wu5pf Specifying "For Fun" implies that there's other reasons besides "for fun" as to why someone would torture a child that are somehow less egregious.
If you're at the point of physically torturing children, there is no reason to speak of that is the least bit acceptable. The qualifier is meaningless and only serves to raise questions as to why you included the qualifier.
@@JD-wu5pf "Which there are. I can come up with plenty of contrived hypotheticals in which "torturing children" is the best moral choice. Adding "for fun" removes the need to have conversations about those hypotheticals"
No one who deserves entertaining would need that clarification.
"The problem is that C- tier atheists are now getting bogged down on the phrase 'for fun' instead of addressing the actual problems with theistic morality."
Ahhh, the problem is everyone else misunderstanding you. Gotcha.
I saw the title and was immediately like "WTF, how would that even work?", and as I see it doesn't and this is just one guy being especially dumb 😂😂😂
As an atheist, I don't have commandments. Just a lack.if demonstrable evidence for any God!
It's the " for fun" part that gets me. Implying that there are legitimate reasons to torture babys.
Mr Diety is doing a series on Low Bar Bill and his arguments for why it was good that god ordered the murder of babies. It is absolutely horrific the lengths William L. Craig will go to to justify the objective morality bullcrap.
It's a sickening way to justify the countless cases of child suffering throughout history. At this point it'd be easier to just embrace the problem of evil and say God is selectively loving because of some excuses. Maybe the Fall. They love blaming the fall.
I think it was just “torture babies” at first, but then someone pointed out that God does this in the Bible through events like the flood.
No, it’s not because of ancient history. It’s because corporal punishment for children is still popular among sections of Christians. I heard that it’s still in use in some schools.
@JD-wu5pf Why? Because adding the qualifier 'for fun' it implies that doing it but not 'for fun' is moral for a theist. Claiming that you do not understand this is a indication that you are a disingenuous person.
Lying in the furtherance of the faith is a time honored tradition.
"The ends justify the means" is the ultimate Christian commandment.
In what world does "you do you" mean there are no responsibilities and consequences?
In fact I would argue “you do you” has the implication that you should do what you want while accepting whatever consequences arise from it. The person who says “you do you” isn’t shrugging off all responsibility, just any responsibility for your actions
I cant stand the false dichotomy that was setup with bodily autonomy. Thank you for clearing that up, Paul.
Oh. My. God.
Sean's son's name is "Scottie"? The material writes itself. I am laughing my ass off.
What’s the reference?
@@drachireidnoc6659 Austin Powers. @Paulogia has some of the clips at the beginning of the video.
Maybe I watch too many paleontology videos. First thing I thought was Scotty, the biggest T-rex specimen found so far. 😅
@@DrKippDavisoh I must have missed that. When I think of Scottie I think “beam me up Scottie”
@@pansepot1490 "Maybe I watch too many paleontology videos."
I am going to go ahead and conclude, "Yes."
Instead of "non-commandments" how about "The Ten Suggestions."
"Ten Mild Advocations"
I didn’t get the Atheist Worldview Handbook when I deconverted.
You didn't? I'll contact headquarters and make sure they send it to you. How else will we destroy the world if we all don't have the manual to follow?
/S
Whenever one of these apologists says, “but why be moral if there is no god?” all I hear is the spoiled teenager in a movie saying, “my parents aren’t here! We can have a huge party at my house!”
I'm still waiting for theists to define "atheist worldview".
Oh they define it plenty, they just make up the definitions to fit their lies
@MatecaCorp correction
Atheist world view is sin and hates God so they turn their back....pleasure before virtue. ... REEEEEEEEEE!
that seems to be how they define it.
You can’t prove there isn’t an atheist worldview so it must be true. 😂
@@RiiDIi lol
I'd like them to define the theist world view. Just the fact that there are, and have been in the past, so many different religions with different and contradicting beliefs would seem to make it impossible to have any consistent world view.
Their lack of self-awareness would be comical if it weren't so sad. And so horrifying.
Shaun is interpreting off a source that is an interpretation of another source. Without knowing anything of the original source and the accuracy of the interpretation.
His research is in line with apologetics.
My personal favorite version of the golden rule is "be excellent to one another"
party on, dudes
This was fantastic friends ❤
Yep, atheism is not a religion it's just the answer to a question: Do you believe in the existence of god or gods, and the answer is no.
"What good is your garden, if faeries don't live under it?"
I grew up with Brian Froud's book, "Faeries" and a mother who was (and still is) a passionate gardener. I absolutely love this quote and the concept behind it!
Thank you so much for a breath of inspiration for this upcoming Mother's Day!
Science is a better technique than prayer for arriving at truth by a factor that is impossible to overstate. All the prayer over thousands of years never got us any closer to Newton's theory of gravitation or the Germ Theory of Disease. And they never would have. In that sense, an approach informed by the scientific method is infinitely better than prayer.
Not to mention the prayers of a billion Hindus don't usually lead to their discovery of the true God, or the Muslims, or the etc.
"Scotty doesn't know" ( EuroTrip)
Kept waiting for that reference
as if being religious weren't cringe enough, you have to have your dad patronise you too.
11:14 "The only thing I enjoy from my atheism is my intellectual integrity." What a journey it is to get to this place!
Fun fact. In the Bible the "Ten Commandments" are not called the Ten Commandments in Hebrew. A better translation would be the "Ten Words."
Here are my favourite Ten Commandments:
Yes, it's blank for a reason! 😉
Oh, come on, you have to agree that boiling a goat in its mother's milk is evil and that a commandment against it is funny!
@@reformCopyright I really don't get that Commandment. Did Moses have a friend who thought their kid* cooked in its mother's milk was an awesome recipe? 🤷🏻♂
*Not their child, just to clarify, but the mother goats bsby.
@@johnburn8031 It would taste better with paprika, but that wasn't available before trade with the New World. If only the ancestors of the Mormons had thought to send their wooden submarines back to the Levant we wouldn't have had to wait for so long.
@@RichWoods23 I thought paprika was from India. 🤷🏻♂
@@johnburn8031 Capsicums are native to the Americas. It's ironic that Columbus was aiming to reach the Indies to take advantage of the spice trade when he discovered the Americas, yet while he and the subsequent European explorers brought solanaceae plants back to Europe arguably their most significant adoption (other than for potatoes) was in the Indies.
Most Christians, I myself was one of them, are brought up taught to believe that, yes, you are worthless without God. Even as an ex-Christian now, I really struggle with seeing value and worth in myself. I never built those muscles for myself, and therefore my worth has ALWAYS been determined outside of myself. Sean might very well feel worthless if god was proven to be false
@@JD-wu5pf yeah I’m not sure that’s the most helpful outlook for individuals like me…
From CNN website, "The contest drew more than 2,800 submissions from 18 countries and 27 U.S. states, according to Bayer and Figdor. The proposed “non-commandments” ranged from the quizzical (“Don’t follow your nature”) to the quixotic (“Thriving in space is the ultimate goal”). A team of 13 judges selected 10 of the more sober and serious submissions, and announced the winners Friday".
2800 people is a modestly sized Discord server. Hardly a far reaching study.
Why my "Don't be part of the problem; be the entire problem" commandment was not chosen, I can only ascribe to blatant favoritism on the part of the judges.
Oh, come on, guys. You didn’t actually expect an apologist to do a deep dive into information to understand its foundations, nuances, etc, did you? When do they EVER do that?
Only two of the 10 commandments are laws today in any civilized country.
And one of those use a legal term anyway, so the law existed before the bible tried to hijack the idea.
And even then there are exceptions. "Thou shall not kill - unless the government is instructed by its paymasters who want to go somewhere sandy with oil and change the ruling regime."
Holy balls, the word objective was bent over and just railed over and over. I'm glad Paul's guest addressed this, and did so with elequence.
I prefer the 8 “I Really Rather You Didn’ts” given to us by the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster.
"CNN new atheist commandments"
Wait! What were the old CNN atheist commandments?
An apologist misrepresenting, misunderstanding or lying? Not supplying a link to source material? Not reading the article they're discussing? I'm shocked!
Good video though, thank you for addressing this one and calling Sean out for this.
My personal version of the "do unto others" "commandment" is "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them." Not unlike the 8th "(non-) commandment" mentioned.
As I explain it, I enjoy a good ham sandwich, and if you gave me one, I'd really appreciate it. But for my Jewish and Muslim friends, it's no treat at all -- and for my friends with Celiac Disease, it could become a medical emergency.
So, ask. Communicate. Find out what your neighbors want and need, and do what you can to help.
Let’s not forget that Sean has pretended to be “an atheist professor” to an audience at a Christian college. He saw no issues with doing this and more than once, too.
Basically, he lied to a bunch of kids while strawmaning “the other side”. He even mentions an atheist kid who was in the audience and spoke to him afterwards and still did not see how much of a betrayal this is.
As someone who was a kid in Catholic school, such a stunt would have been an insult, at best.
So all this talk of “pursuing truth” is just absurd coming from him.
And he didn’t bother steelmanning the atheist position. Or, if he did, it shows how little he understands the atheist perspective.
@@Rhewin All he did was strawman it. Dude even wore glasses, that he does not normally wear, because it was cosplay.
He did not just lie about being an atheist but a professor at a university.
@@Nocturnalux normally he presents it as the “Atheist Experience” for churches, and they know what he’s doing. For some reason his professor buddy thought the deception would be a good idea. Genetically Modified Skeptic at least was grateful that Sean’s message was about listening to atheists instead of talking over them, but also found it disappointing they weren’t willing to talk to a real atheist.
@@Rhewin I was an atheist in Catholic school, if he had pulled this stunt on me, I would have been angry beyond belief.
Even done once, it is very telling that he could just stand there for over an hour, lying to kids.
I mean, forget how unfair this is to atheists. It is disrespectful to the audience. There was even an atheist girl who came talk to him after the lecture and he still did not see how gross this was to her.
And, the article is TEN FREAKING YEARS OLD!
You had me at "you don't boil goat in milk"😂🤣
Imagine how miserable people like Sean would be if they didnt have religion to validate their existance.
It’s definitely not fun when you lose it, but so much better when you realize you get to find your own validations and meanings.
I have to say that I, for one, am very grateful to Sean for this wonderful example of the quality of the research being conducted at Biola "University". With such lofty and impeccable standards of academic rigor, it's little wonder that this august institution is able to attract intellectual leviathans such as Sean and Mr. William Lane Craig.
Exjw here and you have new sub eric!!! Loved this paul- you have helped so many learn to think critically..
I didn't even know we had commandments. I thought we are the proverbial herd of cats. 😂
with Sean and Scottie trying to make these into Commandments, it made me think of the George Carlin routine about how he'd revise the Commandments. good stuff.
Lmao at the Dr Evil inserts.
People who can't determine right from wrong are called sociopaths/psychopaths because they lack empathy, not because lack "god".
Scotty wants to continue the family grift.
Easier than getting an actual job.
Too bad he has even less charisma and stage presence than his dad. Maybe he should just be a youth pastor or a drummer for the worship team.
You had me at your first comment about how atheists would respond to hearing we have commandments!!! How completely ridiculous.
Sean's "objective good" includes proselytizing even when people say, "no thanks, heard it". He might go so far (but doesn't say out loud) as to think forcing people to believe what he believes is loving.
Man, that beaker full of strawberries has to be the silliest stock video I've seen it a while.
Scientist Log, Entry 108: "Yep. Still strawberries."
I thought Sean said, torturing children for fun was a bad thing to do. Poor Scotty.
"All truth is proportional to the evidence".
More like all belief is or at least should be proportional to the evidence.
Truth itself is the horizon where we want to point our beliefs, hopefully better and better approximating it with time.
It’s gotta be more than frustrating to be misrepresented by these two. I’m not an atheist but I see how people can view Christians as arrogant. The least they could have done was read the article. Just lazy. It’s not the right thing to do. Great video.
Ok, we need a handbook or something. These theists know ALLL of our rules, and I have not been notified of any of these ever.
So sad to see his son nodding along with the ridiculous garbage flowing so freely from his fathers mouth...
What are these atheist commandments and why was I not informed by any of the secret societies?
13:17 I love how sean mentions how god, a mind, *subjectively* gave us the ability to check truth and thus is valuable, but his critic is that atheism *doesnt have an objective* way to find value on it.
Thumbs up just for the Scotty cut! 🎉
Paulogia, great video, I love the collab with Skeptics and Scoundrels ! I think Sean wants to keep as many liking him as possible!👍💙💙💙🥰✌
When I was in high school and if my dad had ever answer any question with in a happy voice weaving his way between solid statements, I would have known he was hiding something
Wait, Sean didnt read the book, cite his sources, or fairly characterize atheists? Its almost like he doesnt care about the truth!
At this point apologists are just lying to keep their "flocks" and their paychecks.
I can’t believe he’d ask Scottie; it’s been well established that Scottie doesn’t know.
I dunno man, the one about boiling a baby goat in its mother's milk? That's a classic, can't replace that.
What if you braise instead of boiling?
When he mentioned that do onto others what is their objective best is the most HORRIFYING LINE I COULD EVER EAR
Because everyone knows what they mean when they say 'objective'
Excellent guest! Thanks, Eric and Paulogia!
That need to identify an authority figure before caring about the idea is just insane. "You should drink muratic acid"... "Yeah? Who says? If it's not a rule from a supernatural being then I don't care."
"Isn't torturing a kid for fun" exactly what God did to Abraham's kid? Calling it a test of obedience doesn't make it any less scaring for the kid.
Eric has made it he is now a cartoon! And great input and hair Eric great video to both of you and a great take down of Sean.
Great video, thanks !
I would disagree slightly with the assertion "the world is real". I don't think we can definitely say that. I much prefer "The World appears to be real given the current evidence of our senses.".
This entirely depends on what one means by real.
Paul....I love you dude. These cuts always take me back to a wonderful time in cinema. Gets me every time XD
Thanks for your hard work in creating these presentations
First question- WTF are the "Atheist Ten Commandments"
Second question- WTF cares, cuz Atheism isn't a religion.
Why do they think atheism is centralized?
they don't. But they KNOW that they can make a lot of sheeple believe that.
selling strawmen and w0rd salad
They can't imagine a system different from theirs so everything should be a reflection (more technically projection) of theirs.
So Atheism must also have sacred books ("On The Origins.." or just any science textbook), prophets (usually Darwin), places of worship where they're preached to (varying degrees of educational facilities) even though any of those falls out of comparison at minimal scrutiny. But just having faith is enough.
because freedom is unimaginable
Here's a radical idea, instead of just making up what you thing the people who don't agree with you believe, you could just ask them.
"He's not out to challenge himself" is such a harsh indictement of Sean's character. I agree with Eric. I think Sean is never looking to challenge his views, and really test them.
How about it is wrong to torture anyone..... for any reason.
This could go a couple of ways:
1) Some atheist or organization made an actual list
2) They're observations about atheists that generally tend to be true.
If it's 2, I hope it's insightful.
Wait...the article is from a DECADE AGO!!!
I skipped to the end just to be sure, but the mugs are also suspiciously positioned to be displaying the text on them and never move.
The Bible says that I was made in the image of god, I guess that explains why I am an Atheist.
that intro was great 🤣
Since when does "bodily autonomy" conflict with "be mindful of how others are affected"?
So much for Thou Shalt Not Lie, Sean.
See that’s the fun part: that’s not a commandment. It says not to bear false witness, so apologists can lie for God all they want.
I love how Sean had to qualify the 'torturing children' with the word 'fun', like wtf? It's okie dokie if it's not fun???
Gotta build in that escape hatch for the response he 100% knows he'll get to his statement.
@@skepticsandscoundrels Great analysis Eric!
18:19 As soon as he said "torture a child", I knew "for fun" was coming right after. These professional apologists *always* put it that way. Because they have to, since their god is perfectly fine with torturing children.
21:05 How is nakedness harming people? This is pure nonsense.
28:00 This is interesting. Sean is to be committed to your objective best. Which *he* gets to determine, and impose on you. This is just his excuse for doing whatever *he* wants to do.
35:30 Christians absolutely do *not* agree on the 10 Commandments, neither what they are nor what they mean.
Eric’s commentaries knock it out of park!
As an atheist, I can tell you we don't have commandments. The idea is ignorant.
