Sermon #12

TITLE: You're complicating the simplicity of Scripture.
DESCRIPTION: A Christian explains to me how Scripture is simple to understand.
Meanwhile, in an alternate universe, 45,000 Christian denominations exist.
My computer blue-screened at the 44:50 mark, so I added an ending. I suspect it was heat-related and I'm working on a solution. Of course, a solution could be to not make videos longer than 40 minutes! Well, I did warn at the beginning that I expected this sermon to be moderately below average. :-))

This channel reveals evil Christian doctrine by critically examining UA-cam comment threads and comparing them to scripture and Christian orthodoxy.
Using an evidence-based, unscripted conversational presentation, I unravel the contorted reasoning used by Christians to harmonize disparate theologies, reconcile contradictions, dismiss hypocrisies, ignore absurdities, explain failed prophesies, venerate relics, and defend uncomfortable truths.
I am not asserting that Christianity and/or Christians are inherently evil.

Hey, so I just noticed that I have 30 subscribers... for some reason. I mean, I had no content at all and every button, every check box, every slider was set for private.
Anyway, I thought it might be fun to finally produce something. I published my first video on 10/20/2024. I conduct live sermons every Sunday. Join me regardless of your beliefs to comment, question, challenge and/or join me on a stream.
