Thoughts from a Christian
October 25, 2014 at 12:26 pm
Hello, I made this vlog with a few specific Youtube atheists in mind, but I thought it would be appropriate to share it with the larger atheist community, so I joined this forum in order to post it. Any feedback would be welcome.

I would suggest you repost the challenge in text and read the rules. 30 days or 30 posts before you can post links and videos. Just to deal with spammers as we get so many. Though what do you intend to do if a atheist beats your challenge?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I don't even care, I did not watch your video either ...
If you are not capable of respecting rules, do not have an avatar, did not post your intro you are IMO more than likely drive-by 1 post shooter, not worthy of mine or anybody's attention here, no cookies for you

Yeah I'm not watching that.
What is the atheist one month challenge?

The point of the video is that trmof has had personal experiences that he interprets to be his holy father. Basically Drich's admonition to knock on God's door (and make sure it's the Christian God's address). Whoopty-doo.
In other words, convince yourself that "the Universe is talking to me." And then you'll notice that it is!! Whoa!

My apologies. I did peruse the rules, but I must have glossed over that one. It's an understandable rule, however, considering the nature of the topic. I'll consider reposting this as text if time allows.
Also, it's not really that kind of challenge. It's more of a call to examine your beliefs from a slightly different angle than usual, which, if carried out, would hopefully make discussions on the topic more productive, at least in theory.

The video would have served as an intro, so I'll try to summarize it later.

What makes you think I don't do that? I examine my stances all the time, and often change them in light of new arguments and evidence. That is why I'm not a Christian anymore, the religion just does not hold up to scrutiny.
