"Were Low Bar Bill an honest person forthcoming in all the details, and with all the caveats," he would be unemployed and broke.
LOL!!!
Billy Joel has a message for LBB; "Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you"
That’s some gospel truth right there! Also, an earworm. Fortunately I like Billy Joel. Thanks!
To summarize: An ancient book says something impossible happened. The best explanation is that an impossible thing happened.
But it doesn't apply to other ancient books that also claim an impossible thing happened. That would be silly.
@@RustyWalker Well, of course! Asclepius healed the blind and brought a friend back from the dead? Ridiculous! Prometheus made humans from clay and later was crucified for their sake? Preposterous! Inanna dies, goes to the underworld where she visit the spirits in prison, then rises from the dead? Inconcevable!
LBB says his 'facts' demand explanation. I'd say his explanation demands facts.
OHHH!!!! I wish I'd thought of that line! Brilliant!!! Damn me!
I love this retortand I demand it be used more often!
Amen, brother!
The staff at my hang out think I lost my mind laughing at your description of LBB!😅😅😅😅
*GOLD!* 😊👍
If low Bar Bill were honest, he wouldn't be an apologist.
If we were to follow Bil's standard of 'facts', we would be teaching in History classes the 'fact' that a long time ago there was a city named Gondor and it was attacked by an army of orcs, which were defeated by a coalition of allies in a great battle 😆😆😆
Rumor has it, Bill Craig has been lobbying to add Mental Gymnastics and Motivated Reasoning into the 2028 Olympics.
He has clearly made these into a professional sport.
In todays match, Bill asserts that mere claims are now in fact facts.
The biggest counter-argument to me is the complete absence of any record of these supernatural happenings in Roman records. The Romans were excellent record-keepers, and we know this from many contemporaneous examples including Suetonius, Julius Caesar, etc.
Same with the exodus and the Egyptians.
all miracles, or totally made up, most likely the second
And didn't a bunch of people rise from the dead at the same time or something? I'm pretty sure the Chinese would have recorded it had the sun stopped in the sky for three days too.
Good work, sir!
This is the biggest problem with dealing with apologetics, and one I have run into in many posts... it takes the apologist 3 seconds to present a lie with confidence, then it takes 5+ minutes (or a freaking comments section essay) to go through and explain all the ways and how exactly we know that what the apologist presented was a lie. In the meantime, the apologist has presented 5 more lies on the topic and galloped through 4 more topics.
That's the problem with gish gallops. They re so tiring to confront that the galloper generally gets away with it.
Now that's what *I* call "minimal facts"!
Truly minimal facts were uttered.
Cant say Bill is wrong
So minimal you can't even see them!
The best summarization of Christianity anti-apologetic. Mr D this is the best.
And you're my new best friend! Call me!
My ultimate loss of belief and trust in Christ, Jesus and Christianity was not just the lack of facts, the lack of logic, but the constant dishonesty of those who defend it. If it was true then why so much blatant dishonesty.
An excellent consolidation of the 'facts'. It almost makes you think there may be a slight chance of a remote possibility that it could be entertained that it cannot be entirely ruled out that it might be reasonable to actually wonder if the resurrection even actually happened.
🤔
I was always told that it pays to be honest, well here's a token payment for the honesty... and the genuine tears of laughter at seeing LBB's vacuous "facts" annihilated 😂
Thanks so much. You’re really gonna like part two of this one part series. Blessings to you. And indulgences too!!!
@@misterdeity I haven't watched part 4 yet!!
It's the unearned confidence that comes with living in a society that has been steeped in this story for so long, that the average person doesn't even question the validity of these "facts"...
Such a great point!!! The entire culture is biased.
Great video. For Alleged Fact #2, your case could be made even stronger by citing for A not Mark, but the earlier 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, where Paul either doesn't know about the women being first (suggesting it's a later gospel legend), or Paul knew of such a tradition but lied about it. Either way, Paul's account further complicates the Resurrection legends.
And he never mentions the tomb in 1 Cor 15!!! They hadn't figured that part out yet.
So I tried looking for the facts myself
Fact 1 : Harry lived under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia's house
Fact 2 : Hagrid visited Harry at his Aunt Petunia's house
Fact 3 : Hagrid said to Harry... "yer a wizard Harry"
Fact 4 : Harry Potter is a wizard
Oh crap that's the wrong book...
After I read that story as a kid, my life was forever changed (albeit in an otherwise intangible way). All of this is undeniable evidence for the Truth of The Boy Who Lived! Checkmate awizardists!
Fact one: Peter Parker was born in New York.
Fact two: Peter Parker was bitten by a magical spider.
Fact three: Peter Parker got super spider powers
Fact four: MJ is a eye witness that Peter Parker is Spider Man.
Conclusion: it’s a “fact” that Peter Parker is Spider man.
Is it a fact that Peter Parker is Spider-Man? Yes
Is it a fact that Peter Parker is real? No
This is the dishonest game that apologist plays in order to keep alive their stupidity.
Myth is that that is true, but never really happened.
That is sofa king awesome!!!
"If Low Bar Bill were an honest person..."
Welp. There's your problem, right there.
I can't wait for part 5 of this 3 part series!!!🤣
I'm going to assume this was part three of this zero part series.
Either way, this was (in my opinion) a really impactful episode. I think it is important to emphasise repeatedly the DISHONESTY of these apologists who assert they know things that they do not know, and can not know (based on the currently available evidence), and in the case of someone as intelligent and educated as WLC, KNOWS that he does not and can not know what he claims to know. He is simply being dishonest to advance some other agenda (such as the conversion of people to his religion, or to decrease the probability that members of his religion will leave it).
Oh come on folks
Don't you love it when Low Bar Bill proclaims "500 people saw the resurrected Jesus"
Aaaaah excuse Low Bar Bill can you name one?
3:48 What can I say? The tomb was extremely busy that day. Congestion was crazy, but Jesus was smart and left early to beat the traffic!
Also, based on your summary alone, the only order a harmoniser would use is B A C D. Sure raises a lot of questions though!
@@apropos4701 I think Mr Deity chose that order because it's our best guess of the order in which the gospels were written (some Christians disagree with the order).
The order I suggested was the order in which the events outlined could have happened on the day of the resurrection, assuming that all the gospels are accurate. Harmonisers generally assume that all the events in all gospels happened (unless they take them as metaphor), so I think they could argue that the events of Matthew took place first, followed by the events of Mark, Luke and John. Although many just try to handwave the inconsistencies and say they all report the same event.
If he were honest, his career would have been over about 30 years ago.
This is wonderful. Please keep fighting this good fight for all of us.
You are the best! Thank you so much. I’ve still got a ton o’ fight in me. But this definitely helps! 😉
Apologists will never let facts or logic get in the way of their money stream
It's always been... all about the Benjamins. Or more accurately, the drachmas, denarius, and shekel.
Jesus once chopped down a cherry tree. When asked about it said "I cannot tell a lie. It was Pilate who did it."
I've heard this one from at least two other sources, so it must be a true.
@@CafeteriaCatholic I have 500 witnesses
That's a great point. We have video cameras and access to actual living eye witnesses, and we can't even come to a consistent conclusion about what happened a few years ago at the capital building. And he thinks we know what happened 2000 years ago to people who weren't even literate?
See my “Resurrection vs. Insurrection” video.
@@misterdeity Yep! Exactly what I meant. :-) All you need is an open tomb and tell people that's where Jesus was before he rose, and you get videos of people barricading doors in the same building where the cops are escorting revolutionaries through the building and holding doors for them.
Well we can, but some seem to think that they can just deny reality, or just blatantly lie about it.
Bill’s bar gets lower every day. You broke it over his stubborn head! Congrats!
All you need is. "Little Billy's Big Book of Theological Origami"
Oh, I love that phrase! Is "theological origami" yours?
@@misterdeity just made it up,, like Billy
@@misterdeity I heard somewhere about Scriptural Origami, which i assumed Jefferson's Bible was an example. But I think every believer practices the techniique as each individual sure seems to create their own unique vision of God and morality. Text be damned.
That's a HUGE… "IF"! Billy could give a catfish lessons on bottom feeding.
LOL!!!
Low Bar Bill argues from the premise that if you say something, about a claim of which you have no actual proof that it exists or will exist, and you so forcefully make said claim with enough conviction, it will magically become true. In other words, if a child, who wants a pony, proclaims, or testifies that her desire is true, the pony will magically become a reality.
Low bar bill has the cadence of a smarmy used car salesman
A smarmy used car salesman selling the mere rumor of a used car of unknown brand and condition!
@@jiperssonthat he hasn't seen
That's an insult to smarmy used car salesmen. And this thread is gonna be awesome - already is!!!
That's because he's a used god salesmen peddling a tired old middle-eastern clunker. He just put a new brand emblem on it and spray-scriptured over all the ugly broken parts.
A smarmy used car salesman who doesn't speak the language of the car's original owner.
So glad to have found your videos. I became a Christian as a teenager, and, being a Christian for over 41 years, I believed myself to be an extremely well read, unshakable Christian. I completely fell away several months ago. Now I feel like an idiot that I ever believed it. Your video makes so much sense, but I wonder what I would have thought of it if I listened to it as a Christian. Do you have Christians watching your videos? I think you present the truth so well.
But if there’s even one chance in a million ….
I'd better buy a lottery ticket. The odds are better.
Yep, I'm just not buying the notion of a 2000 year old Jewish zombie nor World War Z in first century Jerusalem.
Right? I mean, Brad Pitt Haden't even been born yet!
@@misterdeity and at least we have eye witness accounts of Brad Pitt
it's odd that when i was about three or four years old that "in the beginning" seemed like the intro of a fairy story, and as i got more mature in my years, like five or six, that it was apparent this was just stories that no one really agreed on, and that by seven or eight i started doing grown up things, like reading sci - fi instead cos at least the authors gave their names and there weren't as many plot holes.
I'd say there wasn't even one chance in a million that it's true!😉
Damn! I wish I'd thought of that.
Jesus DID raise from the dead!!! He came out of his tomb saw his shadow and declare six more weeks of winter! Then scurried back in his tomb. (* This may make sense, to an American audience only).
It's been my experience that when talking to believers one always spends an inordinate amount of time pinning down what the"truth" means. What the truth means to you, and what it means to the believers, which always seems to have nothing to do with with reflecting reality in any way, shape or form. Facts to them take many forms unrecognizable to you or I.
As Aron Ra always says: the truth is what the facts are.
This one goes on my "saved" list.
We all know That Elvis Presley is a cook in some out of the way diner on the other side of the universe, it's in a book so it must be true
I HGGuess so.
And Buddy Holly is alive and well and living on Ganymede. It's in a book... (recommended) so it must be true.
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
But he's a liar, and I'm not sure about you [Bill]
@@brunozeigerts6379 It's a shame he never went into the 'Music with Rocks in' business with Glod and Cliff
This was brilliantly done and amusing with whit
to quote hitch: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. and i can't think of any claims more extraordinary than lbb's.
In "Alleged Fact 2 B" it's interesting to me that Jesus had evidently left the tomb before the angel came along and rolled the stone away. Neat trick!
Remember, resurrected Jesus can walk through walls and breach the firmament!
@@misterdeity I wasn't aware of that. He really could have wowed the folks he appeared to after the sealed tomb escape by freeing himself from hand-cuffs and straight-jackets! More impressive than "feel my holes".
Yes, the most eloquent of bullshittergists always seems to jump to conclusions despite having zero evidence to back his claims.
But then, I'm sure I once heard him say: "Even if there is one chance in a million, you might as well jump" !!
Thanks
What is scary is that I can accept that people have faith & trust in idea of Christianity after all it is central to western history.
I just don't understand why they lie. It is clear that history cannot prove he resurrection other christian scholars such as Mike Mike Licona even say he can have that as a historical fact

Bang up job as always, Bri, with all the details and all the caveats. 🍻
Mr. Deity, Brian, lol, beautifully said. IF there was an apocalyptic preacher named jesus, (possible), and he got executed by romans, for some reason, the usual thing was to leave the body as example. Then it may have been tossed into a pit with others. Though I admit wealth could buy a body, not important. Still a senseless tale!👍💙💙💙🥰✌
If Jesus was executed then there would have been several reasons including
Disruption of trade
Attacking people with whips (it's kind of weird that the son of god would need to carry whips)
Sedition (denying the divinity of Caeser)
Preaching violence (I come not to bring peace but a sword)
At this point, Bill needs to just step over the limbo bar. No one can bend that low to the ground.
The Roman's didn't bury or allow criminals to be buried. They chucked em off the back of Golgotha into the valley of Ghenna.
Please; plural nouns don't use apostrophes... "Romans"

Thanks! I bananaslug, talking in your language of English have heard your video about low bar Bill spouting nonsense and I want to give thanks,
Thanks
Amen!!! Thanks so much. Your front row tickets to the apocalypse are in the mail!
Even if we take the gospels as accurate record of the testimony of their characters, we can see just how unbelievable this story is. The disciples who gave up their lives to follow some no name preacher without any understanding are hardly the credible sources to based our lives on. And even those guys doubted the resurrection.
And we don’t really know about the disciples or how they died. They disappear from history early in Acts. There are claims about Peter and Paul. And that’s it!
@@misterdeity it's quite a stretch to include Acts as part of history.
I'm going to wait until part E to make any decisions
LOL!!!
Every time I hear this line of discourse from a Christian excuseagist, I thank reason that spectral evidence is no longer admissible in court.
I really like your videos, and this one was especially enjoyable. Thanks!
I really like your comments. And this one was especially enjoyable for ME. Thanks so much!
If I were an honest commenter, forthcoming with all the details and eating all the caves.... wait, I think I messed that up.
I would have also asked LBB regarding Alleged Fact 1 to locate Arimathea. It has never been done.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! I'm sending you blessings and indulgences. Sin away!!!
This is a keeper! Concise and almost non-debunkable.
The best thing about this dissection of the "facts" is they can't even yell, "Blasphemy!" at you over it.
apostel Paul was visionary, but not like Darwin, but like a guy with psychosis, if Paul would have lived today he would have claimed he was Napoleon
Well we got one who's almost claiming he's the messiah reborn. And he's running for president.
More like he would’ve claimed an election was stolen, and he needs money to get the truth out.
WLC apparently has such a high desire for the Bible to be true that everything in it has a low bar for believability. If WLC is the best excuseigist that religion has to offer then they are a sorry lot indeed.
Honestly, that's a BIG 'IF'...welcome back to my life, B.D.
LBB has an extremely fluid definition of "fact."
Were LBB to be an honest person. We wouldn’t be referring to him as LBB.
LOL!!! Great point!
The Hitchens is strong in you tonight.
He is with me always!
Bill believes in the "additive case" for Christianity. Perhaps he also believes in "additive facts" - two half-truths makes a whole truth, right?
The 'additive case' = 'I got eight F's in my high school exam, so I can go to Harvard now, right?'
Paulogia sent me. I stayed for the absolute AWESOMENESS!!!! Bravo!!!
If he came up from the dead, that implies he went down on the dead
We don't need slow 6th graders on our side.
LOL!!!
Excellent video, Brian! I can't wait for part one!
It's even better!
I'm still sticking with my theory - Even if we had HD video of Jeebus' magical mystery tour, the most likely explanation would be an ancient illusionist/ con-man. The entire absurd narrative is something you would expect from a cult-membership gullibility test.
We're my 1st wife an honest person, forthcoming with all the details and caveats, she would probably still be my wife.
Ouch. I’m sad to hear this.
@@misterdeitymeh, we are both happy now. It was just ugly gaslighting at the time.
Oooooh there was an empty tomb! I guess that means the universe requires a mind to create it and this mind has a physical son!
2:54 "...and said nothing to anyone... How I know this? Well, nobody fucking knows."
Well, he knows it because it's a fact, of course!
Beautifully stated!
Could any of this be proven in court? Could a lawyer prove that Jesus was a zombie?
Or a Highlander? (the movie hinted at that) Or a Time Lord?
I'm saving up to do a bigger "Case for Christ" video where the "evidence" is presented in an actual court. Need a good chunk of change for the crew, studio, set and cast. Stay tubed!
@@misterdeity HA! Nice! Can't wait for the 6 part 2 part series.
@@misterdeity Because the Gospels are magic-packed narratives constituting the only evidence there is, the case would probably be thrown out and dismissed on summary judgement. Think about it. If you filed suit against somebody, and the brief you submitted to the court was full of magic flying bunnies and invisible Blue Pixies, do you think your case would be heard? That's the problem with the case for even the historicity of Jesus, just as a real rabbinical cult leader. When you take a narrative just loaded with supernatural events, that was expressly written for the purpose of generating and disseminating a magical belief system, then extracting all the magic stuff doesn't make the mundane parts likely to be true. The mundane parts were only written as a foundation for the magical stuff. The mundane parts are irretrievably tainted as coming from the pens of people who were either credulous or dishonest enough to write the magical stuff.
The totality of the New Testament is tainted in this way, so not one word of it has any value as substantial evidence of anything. And the New Testament is the only evidence there is. The tiny handful of non-cult mentions of Jesus in the 1st century and a half CE were nothing but people reporting what Christians believed, even in the case of Josephus, which is suspected of being forged anyway. All these independent mentions are exceedingly brief; none of them give any biographical details of Jesus; and none of them have any plausible source but Christians professing their beliefs. So, there is literally no credible evidence for one fact about Jesus beyond the fact that we know that people named Jesus did exist in that historical period. Could there have been a Jesus that had enough correspondence with the mythical Jesus to say that "Jesus was a real guy"? Sure, but there is insufficient evidence to make a valid case establishing that.
LOL. From the thumbnail I was expecting a Roger Horton-esque Honest Ads satire. But, of course, everything involving WLC is satire. Rock on, Brian.
He's self-satirizing at this point.
But is there a maximally honest Bill?
No. Only a maximally bullshitty Bill.
Your videos are just awesome! They are a category of their own. Each and every time you hit it home. Again, you made my day!❤
Awww!!! Well, you made my fortnight! Thanks so much for the kind words.
So...he rose from the dead bearing his wounds? "Here, Thomas, poke my hole." 😄Obviously written to combat the early Xian "heresy" that Jesus - or at least post-resurrection Jesus - was a visible ghost; a purely spiritual being.
Eh, as I understand it, the concept of a soul arose later. Jesus was preaching about bodily resurrection... because he didn't have the concept of any other kind.
“Arimathea” is also a name that doesn’t exist anywhere-inside the bible or out-other than as what this Joseph dude is of.
Might as well be Harry of Hogwarts.
And it means something like Best Disciple Town. I mean, PLEASE!
Technically it does exist, not as a place but as a word. It means "high" or "noble". So this character Joseph could have the name "Joseph, a rich guy from Rich Town". So yeah, that fits. And by fits I mean a clumsy insert to figure out how a guy who died in a way that 99% of the time resulted in burial in a mass grave and shouldn't have been able to afford an expensive exclusive tomb supposedly was buried in a exclusive tomb.
@@dougt7580 Harry was born in Godric’s Hollow.
It is a misspelling; it was supposed to be Joseph of Arithmetic - he was an abacus salesman.
It takes a special kind of hubris to make claims about a field you have no training in, have these claims corrected in your presence by a prominent expert in the field, and then to go on repeating those claims immediately afterward. Bill is such a special individual. Not only has he not ditched the erroneous ramblings on the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin Theorem from his scripts in light of Sean Carrol's correction, _Bill's article on the theorem is a top sponsored link when you Google it!_ That takes some serious balls. Or a complete lack of scruples. I'll let you decide which.
Matthew 27:62-64
Soldiers are assigned guard duty the day AFTER Joseph of Arimathaea laid the corpse in his private tomb, this soldier guard is mentioned only in Matthew. There are no records of events during this unguarded interval.
1. Fact, there was a war between Carthage and Rome
2. Fact, soldiers died and fought in this historical war
3. Fact, Livy was a roman historian who actually existed and wasn't anonymous or mythical
4. Fact, Livy recorded as a fact that Roman solders fought a dragon during these wars
5. Fact, multiple soldiers attested to fighting this dragon
The best way to explain this is the fact that Dragons must exist....
I used Bill's own standards, but with actual facts and historically demonstrated records... unlike Bill
Nobody is stupid enough to think this gets us to dragons existing... even though this minimal facts Dragon edition... is nearly infinitely more historically reliable and factual than Bill's Jesus minimal facts edition.
I can just grant Bill a lot of his made up 'facts' and its still moronic reasoning that doesn't get you to Jesus and magic. Something tells me Bill's Bar isn't just moronically low... its only that low for Jesus specifically.
And there is proof Bill excists because he is the main character in Leisure Suit Larry the game series.

As always spot on. Glad you're on our side now.
2:05 Crucified people were not buried in tombs. So Honest Bill would need to add that caveat too.
Maybe he won a 2 night stay in a luxury tomb? That would explain the maids not feeling they would need to tell anyone after they saw he had checked out.
Joseph of Arimathea is only mentioned in this instance. Nowhere before or after in the gospels. He's just a plot device.
@@InigoMontoya- You didn't fall for those old Roman fact that crucified people were thrown in a ditch and eaten by dogs.
Over far too many years to admit, I have heard Christians assert that there is evidence for their god and for the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. On every occasion, when asked to provide this evidence, they have failed. Of course. And yet the same old nonsense is repeated ad infinitum. Why? Because they dare not admit that all they have is belief and opinion. But why not? No-one disputes their right to hold such beliefs. Because they themselves are not satisfied with mere belief and so they lie by claiming facts they do not and cannot know.
When the effect on society is so dire, I _do_ deny them the right to believe nonsense. The enforcement mechanism remains unclear, though; let’s get together and work on it.
Lots of people dispute their right to hold such beliefs. Just not in the USA and other secular countries.
@@altosack I understand your point and agree but i would separate belief from action.
In my view, everyone is entitled to believe whatever they wish but when that belief translates into oppression, unearned and undeserved privilege, false superiority and elitism, then it is a problem.
I would also note the the religious freedom I would grant, is never granted by believers to those of other faiths.
@@darrennew8211 Yes, what I said was not entirely accurate.
It is true that some Muslims object to anyone not being a part of Islam and some Christian sects object to other Christians but, in the main, people are more concerned with what Christians and other religionists do than what they believe.
One is entitled to one’s own beliefs/opinions but not to one’s own truth.
What if people actually saw an empty tomb as reported? But it was just that they went to the wrong tomb.
How low can Low Bar Bill go? If hell was real, it wouldn't be low enough for Low Bar Bill.
Even Hermes can't limbo under a bar that low.
EVEN the tomb part around 2:00 in... is contestable, because we don't really have anything but much later not very reliable stories for that, AND it wasn't common practice, AND there's no evidence they ever allowed it for people crucified in the center, AND he was pretty well hated (so to grant him that might not have quelled things which was the WHOLE point).
i find the tomb portion, very very forgiving...
They allowed crucified people to the entombed... probably after they were a rotting corpse... but it was a very rare exception.
" And though THEY found no grounds for putting him to death, THEY(??) asked Pilate that he be executed. When THEY had carried out everything that was written concerning him, THEY(??) took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb.

Quantum Bible has no contradictions and the stories are all true, albeit from alternative possible universes that all incorporate gravity and the resurrection.

But, how can he do that? I mean, I know he's not exactly honest but this is just lying. Am I right? He's just very simply lying by calling these things facts. I don't know why I'm always surprised. But it seems like a new level of dishonesty to me.
It's totally dishonest. Craig is totally aware that the mainstream of even Christian scholars do not think that the Gospels were credibly written by the disciples of Jesus or any other eyewitnesses. They are not even written in the first person, as any credible eyewitness account would be. He has a Ph.D. in religious philosophy, and no doubt has read all the Gospels multiple times. There is no way that he is not thoroughly knowledgeable about the gross discrepancies between the four books.
He also knows that Paul was the only New Testament author writing in a time frame near to the putative death of Jesus. Paul was unambiguously clear about never having known Jesus in life, and his one experience of Jesus was explicitly a supernatural vision some years after Jesus' death, not an encounter with an actual flesh and blood person. Paul was explicit also about not deriving any knowledge of Jesus from the testimony of other witnesses, claiming to have all his knowledge from divine revelation and passages from the Old Testament that he interpreted as long-ago prophecies of Jesus. There is absolutely no doubt that Craig knows all this like the back of his hand.
All you need is faith and it makes all true - belive hard enough in something and it becomes real , just keep lying to yourself. Thanks for the video Ive just subscribed.
