Not only is it not relevant to the video, you obviously didn't even grasp the very simple concept that TBS doesn't think the bible is a historically true document.

Quoting the bible to any non-believer is like saying "Xena, the warrior princess, said it! Therefore it must be true!".

@bloodyinkpen Yes! Illu'vatar is the one true god and somewhere elves exist in another world. renounce your heathen beliefs and turn to the Valar. may Gandalf be with you

@OBSERVATIONSBYLENNY I'm sorry, how have these arguments been debunked? The fallibility of the Bible as an inerrant text is more or less accepted by biblical scholars. Many translations were made by illiterate people. We live in a complex world, God or no God, with incredible beauty and complexity. I think that, as another primate on one little planet, it's ok to just admit that I don't fully understand what's going on. I just think that the Bible misses most of that beauty.

@OBSERVATIONSBYLENNY I've never seen evidence that he is full of hate or anything other than a distrust of ignorance. The church down the road appears to be spreading false information that affects the way we live our lives. He is enjoying the fruits of his victories: free thought and intelligent discussion in the modern world. I think he'd choose that over drugs. And I'm right there with him.

A powerful argument, I as a spiritual man also believe that certain texts from the bible were altered for control and order of the public. That's one of the problems of religion is that it's entirely way too saturated to believe just one, and they all stem from different time lines, different perspectives, and different nations

People can never tell the difference between a mary sue and a real person...it's sad.

Professing to be wise, he's a fool.

@OBSERVATIONSBYLENNY

He doesn't do it because of hate, toward people or religion, he does it to better get to know his fellow man. And to make debate, which he enjoys. Even though he's called himself uneducated before, he's very smart, and he seems a good problem solver. His arguments, and the way he approaches a situation shows this, and he gives a clear example of exactly what he means, and I've always, always seen him meet a criteria set down by a Christian. ^_^

"My point is that I don't think......It's a matter of evidence ect." That part cracked me up. I really like your vids I think they are really informative and really well done. And you are really funny at times but at the same time serious. It's great.

@infinit888 NO--it is hate. When he goes after the Upanishads or the Koran with equal vigor I will see an equal opportunity offender. Until then, the targeted nature of these ramblings tells me that we have a genuine Christaphobe on our hands. Again, if you are so right--just go your way and live and let live. These ramblings have been uttered by some of history's greats. Lenin, Mao, G.B. Shaw, Hitler and his henchman and of course Pol-Pot. Waste of time actually. Its been firmly refuted

@OBSERVATIONSBYLENNY "Disagreement is not hate."

Hypocrite much? TBS made a video because he had a disagreement and what was your accusation?

"No offence but you seem so full of hate." - Well hello cognitive dissonance.
