Better Than Religion

I recently came across a new apologist channel, just a couple of months older than this channel. Our new friend seems an earnest fellow; will his arguments be fresh and new as well? Not exactly, though the way he presents them leads us down some surprising new turns.  Support Atheist and pro-science content on this channel: BetterThanReligion.com

We found his channel! The "hate preacher" from a previous video is a real pastor, with a real channel, and we tracked him down.  

In what was the official promo trailer at the time (it's since been demoted to the ranks of regular videos), we get to see what Pastor David Lynn is all about in a whole new light - and that light is victim blaming.  

See how far PD will go to get a rare win - and a sterling example of how absolutely disgusting Christianity can be.

Young Earth Creationist Ray Comfort routinely interviews college students, and tries to persuade them to give up rationality and believe in his extra-wacky version of Christianity. In this video, which was allegedly about the Big Bang but barely touched on it, he gets his fruit bunch (politely) handed to him by a young person armed only with honesty.

Christ's number 1 -salesman- apologist, Dr. William Lane Craig, has a handful of arguments he's found tend to work best. Ember takes a look at his top 5, and points out a few small holes.

What would you do if a religious nutter with a sound system set up outside your house, telling a crowd at high volume what an evil abomination you are and how you deserve to burn in hell, but when confronted claims you're the one full of hate for stopping his loving blessings? Could you hold your composure as well as this student?

You may consider yourself progressive, but if you find yourself sharing the same goals and values as the people you label regressive, maybe it's time to reconsider your position. That goes double when the consequences are literally life or death for the people you're inexplicably mad about. But hey, getting to say "I'm right" while people are hurt is probably worthwhile too.  

So join Ember as we watch a "feminist" go whole hog for misogyny, build straw men as if it were an Olympic sport, and lie like she was running for elected office. All for ... reasons? Oh, right: she's got a book to sell. To Christians.

Apologist channel Trinity Radio took some time to respond to several different atheist issues with Christianity. It's only fair that Ember offer a few... corrections.

As promised, Ember pays a visit to Frank Turek, and reacts to various videos featuring him and guest starring Alisa Childers, William Lane Craig, and others. We run the gamut of apologetics, from simple silly tactics for dishonest discourse, through sloppy justifications for bigotry, and all the way up to the real heart of Christian belief: not the resurrection, but a sinister darkness underlying all the rest, and hurting everyone, believers and unbelievers alike.

What are friends for, if not to be targets for a con? Stand to Reason's Greg Koukl gives us a peek under the hood of what apologists think about the rest of us in a call with a budding proselytizer, where he contextualizes the caller's friends as hostile enemies, and shows him ways to deflect and dodge around questions, lay traps, and try to trick people into faith. Because Christianity can't win if truth is on the table, and Greg knows it.

Drag Queens are amazing, but not everybody is a fan. Especially people with big bigot energy and a big insecurity their dogmatic worldview might just be wrong. Today, the Girl Defined sinsters conflate cosplay with orientation with gender, and tell on themselves about insatiable dirty thoughts in the process.  

If your gender matches your biology, lucky you, but just because that worked out well for you doesn't mean that's the case for everyone else. When you add a holy book that backs up your privilege to the mix, you might be inclined to say all manner of silly things about people with different lives and experiences than you. And these two do, rather a lot.
