I would recommend at least these audiobooks (if possible, in order):

- How Jesus Became God (GC)
the dude has nothing to go one. he speaks or gives explanation based on what he identifies as a lack of information. it's all speculation based on speculatory work of others. For people who pretend to demand proof for everything, you seeming overly willing to drop this requirement if and when someone is telling you what you want to hear. Not one of his 'facts' can stand up to any serious academic scrutiny. in fact if you consider the books he dismisses/the gospel and any other writtings on christ the church retains, there is more in the way of written academic proof for christ, than supports his various speculations.
The dude is a snake oil sales man he simply knows how to package bullshit in a way you 'smart people' love to gobble down information.

Comment, comment, comment.
Good!
I also hate watching long videos.
If someone has something to say, he could put it in writing.
We are a forum, aren't we?
Not a cinema.
5 mins. when i write things down... most of you try and get the gist, and then plug in your own narrative. 90% of the time the subtleties of my pov are lost to your stereotypical christian argument.
for instance on the topic of prayer, those who watched the video about 60% argued the point which was miles from those who wanted to argue their own understanding of prayer. while those on topic came to understand they never once prayed with the understanding of what or why they were doing it.
when I write out the topic 80 or 90% do not get the topic. the see the title and assume they are equipped to argue the point.
