ABOUT ME:

I don't argue that "god" doesn't exist. I'm not concerned about proofs, or likelihoods, or probabilities, of there being a "God" or not. Actually, I lean towards there being some kind of a creative force, though I would not argue for that being the case, and I have absolutely no idea of the nature of what such a "force" might be.

I argue against the idea that the Bible has anything to do with truth in the areas of divinity or spirituality. The Bible is a demonstrably revolting and appalling piece of writing. It is morally redundant, and so full of murder, revenge, punishment, war, and bigotry that it amazes me that anyone can even mistake it for being in any way "holy".

I used to be a Christian, in very simple, middle-of-the-road churches in Australia, but over the course of many long, miserable years of questioning and doubting, managed to get free of it. I didn't do much about my atheism until I stumbled across Hitchens, Harris and Dawkins making the case AGAINST religion, and I realised the detrimental influence that Christianity has had, and continues to have in the world. I now believe that Christianity, and religion itself, is worth acting against.

Ken Ham tells his audiences that they HAVE TO believe in Genesis, because if the Old Testament is false, then it stands that the whole thing is false. This principle is perhaps the only truth he has ever uttered from the pulpit. Yes indeed, if the Bible is NOT the one and only, perfect, divinely inspired message from the creator of life and the universe, then the Christian religion tumbles in on itself.

I believe that the Bible is WOEFULLY inadequate in living up to a claim of "Divine Authorship", or even influence, and therefore that anyone who uses it as a focus of their life, or a source of "eternal" truths and ethics, is sorely misguided.

Through my videos, I hope to have people question whether the Bible is JUST SO GOOD, so PERFECT, so WISE, so ACCURATE, and that the character of Yahweh is so BEAUTIFUL, so LOVING, so JUST, that the text itself cannot have been written by human beings alone, without godly influence.

Indeed not. The Bible bears the stamp of its lowly origins - the imaginations of iron-age, superstitious, bloodthirsty war-mongers, determined to conquer and kill all the enemies they could, and all too willing to install fear and guilt into the hearts of their people, so as to more easily claim divine authority for unbelievable acts of cruelty and barbarism.

As for Jesus - yes, there's no doubt he is an amazing improvement upon Yahweh (except the minor detail about him announcing the eternal torture of the dead, which doesn't get mentioned in the Old Testament). But--- if Yahweh fails to meet the standard of being holy and perfect above anything an iron-age human mind could invent, then Christ's being the son of this imaginary character fails to be very meaningful. And besides, the best bits of what Jesus had to say were being said long before him, in places such as China and India (documented).

Do you find my videos offensive? Well, I'm offended that throughout history, and even still today, people have been, and are being, paralyzed with fear of being condemned to an imaginary torture chamber after death- indoctrinated from childhood that they need to beg for mercy and forgiveness, and that nothing they can humanly do can save them from having endless pain and suffering inflicted on them for the crime of being born human.

I'm offended that people I know, love and respect have had these dishonest ideas put into their heads, and had it influence their choices ALL their lives, constantly weighing their thoughts and actions against the desire to please the imaginary master who alone can rescue them from the imaginary torture that He Himself threatens to dole out.

I'm offended that reasonable, ethical people are compelled to even try to square their beliefs about the holiness of the bible with its actual revolting contents, compromising the morality that is innate in them, with ideas like "Well, stoning people to death wasn't ALWAYS all that bad, it used to be actually holy... and murdering innocent children IS ok (and holy) in some contexts after all". WTF?

Make no mistake about it - your religion is EXTREMELY offensive; it is an insult to human dignity, and I look forward to its demise.
