A Priest at TED Gives a Powerful Talk

[The Reality Salesman01]

I had a feeling you would feel that way. A very refreshing approach to Theism, if you can even consider it as that. Like I was telling you, my differences with this guy are only over semantics. I very much agree with the main point that he's making. I, for one, applaud his honesty. I really liked how he set up the common defenses that would be used to counter the very objections that he was raising himself. It's clear that he has spent lots of time smoothing out these irreconcilable objections for those that seek affirmation. Nevertheless, it's refreshing to see that behind the lips of a priest that offers comforting lies for those that need to hear them, exists an honest and rational mind that can no longer pretend that the lies are true. He spoke with great passion, and so eloquently pointed out the flaws in the type of God that man has created. Every version of God that lies in the mind of it's creator is different, and to It's creator, any view that differs is not the real description of God. I showed this video to my mom, and she said that HE was confused. To her, and other fundies, this guy is very much an Atheist, and can look forward to the same hell.
