CW: CW: Christian stuff, apologetics, negative
Guys, this is why I low-key can't stand #apologists, and Cliffe Knechtle is one I actually have/had a bit of respect for.
That kid deserves a standing freaking ovation. If I was there, I'd buy him lunch. He points out everything that is absolutely true and horrible about institutionalised #Christianity, and Cliffe's retort is typical microwaved hot nonsense from #apologetics.
I hate it so much. I'm hoping that he actually got over himself long enough to actually connect with the kid (because there's only so much you can get from a sound bite), but I'm kind of doubting it.

Unique ≠ True: The False Marketing of #Christianity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cilw7ojxo0
" #Christian #apologists often claim that #Jesus' presence in multiple #religions proves his #divinetruth—but that #logic doesn’t hold up. In this video, I break down the flawed reasoning behind the idea that uniqueness equals truth. We’ll explore which religions actually claim Jesus, which don’t, and why cross-cultural mentions aren’t the evidence they’re made out to be. "

#God #Forgives #Rapists & #Murderers… But Not This?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ULU27JMtOk
#Christians claim that God is all-forgiving—so why does the #Bible say there's one sin He can’t #forgive? In this video, I break down the doctrine of #blasphemy against the #HolySpirit, examining the verses, #contradictions, and #theological confusion surrounding it. We also expose how #Christian #pastors and #apologists can’t even agree on what this sin actually is or if it can be committed today.

And now, as is custom, also fuck right off.

When a top Republican says Russian propaganda has infected the GOP
The GOP chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee
— Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.)
— said that #Russian #propaganda had “infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”McCaul suggested conservative media was to blame. “There are some more nighttime entertainment shows that seem to spin, like, I see the Russian propaganda in some of it
— and it’s almost identical [to what they’re saying on Russian state television]
— on our airwaves,” McCaul said.
He also cited “these people that read various conspiracy-theory outlets that are just not accurate,
💥and they actually model Russian propaganda.”Asked which Republicans specifically he was talking about, McCaul said it was “obvious,” before staff intervened and asked that the conversation go off the record.
These comments are the most significant to date, but they’re not the only ones.
A GOP impasse over additional funding for #Ukraine’s defense against Russia
— combined recently with Tucker Carlson’s deeply weird promotion of Russia and Trump’s comments about not defending NATO allies from Moscow
— has apparently occasioned some self-reflection among Republicans about their colleagues and allies:
• Former vice president Mike Pence, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and a top aide to Sen. Todd Young (R-Ill.) have warned their party against serving as #apologists for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
• Recent presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Trump’s comments about not defending NATO allies, among others, “#empower #Putin.”
• And Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) shot back at criticism from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) about Cornyn’s support for Ukraine, urging Paxton to “spend less time pushing Russian propaganda.”Around the same time, former congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said there is now “a #Putin #wing of the Republican Party.” In 2022, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called the pro-Putin sentiments in some corners of his party “#almost #treasonous,” while allowing that perhaps his fellow Republicans were just #attention-#seekers.
“It’s unthinkable to me, it’s almost treasonous and it just makes me ill to see some of these people do that,” Romney said.“But, of course, they do it because if they get shock value and it’s good to get more eyeballs and maybe make a little more money for them or their network. It’s disgusting.”
And then there is what may be the most famous example: when House GOP leaders in 2016 privately joked about Trump being #compromised by Russia, as later reported by The Washington Post

In the modern western world, most people would have no problem saying #slavery in all its forms is #evil. This is a non-controversial position to take, but one which runs counter to the laws of the #bible. Due to this, #apologists have had to find ways to justify slavery and condone the laws laid out in the bible. Really, at the point that your #worldview puts you in the position of having to justify slavery, it should make you question that worldview.

The Problem of Design
https://new.exchristian.net/2024/02/the-problem-of-design.html
#Apologists love to say we see signs of #design in nature and design requires a designer, however this is usually done by cherry-picking a couple of examples and ignoring the many terrible or strange designs that we find.

DeSantis Ran the Worst Campaign in History
The bizarre decisions behind a $130 million debacle.
Tim Pawlenty’s and Scott Walker’s presidential campaigns can breathe a sigh of relief. The mantle of Worst #Republican Presidential Campaign Ever has been lifted from their shoulders…by the crew that ran #Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign into the dirt.
Revisionist histories are being written even before the candidate has been officially buried, with #DeSantis staffers and #apologists offering a variety of nonsensical explanations. However, we need no gossip from inside sources to understand what…

“I always wondered about the leftist intellectuals who supported Stalin, & those aristocratic sympathizers & peace activists who excused Hitler. Today’s #Hamas #apologists & #atrocity-deniers, w/their robotic denunciations of ‘settler-colonialism,’ belong to the same tradition but worse: They have abundant evidence of the slaughter of old people, teenagers, & children, but unlike those fools of the 1930s, who slowly came around to the truth, they have not changed their views an iota.

#MAGA mayoral #candidate #GabrielleHanson from #Tennessee (of course) has openly embraced #Nazis, and is welcoming their support with open arms. This is exactly the sort of #ignorant, #hateful "#leadership" #America doesn't need. We don't need #antisemitic, #whiteSupremacists and #apologists working the levers of #power. Literally nothing good can come from pretending these people aren't human garbage. A vote for #Republicans is a vote for the #death of America.

#DeadSeaScrolls: What #Apologists Hope You'll Never Find Out (feat. Dr James Tabor)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK9a8TPFYdQ
#Christian apologist #JoshMcDowell irresponsibly overstates what the Dead Sea Scrolls can tell us about #OldTestament reliability. Dr John Bergsma insists that #JohntheBaptist and several of #Jesus' disciples were part of the #DeadSeaScroll group. Meanwhile, Dr Craig Evans insists that any notion of Jesus parallels are rejected by #scholars and outside the mainstream.

Global Poverty is Preventable Genocide
with Thomas Poggehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwRD74Ubtt4&ab_channel=MoneylessSociety
Is global poverty improving, or getting worse? In this episode we explore the true reality of the horror of deprivation and mass death from a lack of the basic necessities or generic drugs to cure medieval diseases-- from a lack of money.
Capitalist apologists claim poverty is decreasing, while the line is set at a measly $2 a day-- increase it by even 2 more and the number of people in extreme poverty explodes. 18 million people die every year, 20,000 CHILDREN every day, and 1 in 2 people lives on less than $5.50 a day.
To explore this topic we brought on one of if not THE greatest expert on global poverty, professor Thomas Pogge to counter the establishment narrative that everything is getting better, and work to eradicate poverty as we know it through systemic change.

The Man Who Found 30,000 #Differences in the #Bible (with Dr. #BartEhrman)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G5V-kWSsc8An Oxford #Biblescholar named #JohnMill found over 30,000 variants in the extant #Biblical manuscripts in 1707. His published work on this started a controversy that has lasted to this day. #Christian #apologists and non-sectarian #scholars alike can thank Mill for the energy that his work added to their fields.
