It's not that I believe God exists.
I just lack a belief that He doesn't.
I'm just not convinced by the evidence in His non-existence.

The very existence of Christianity and its success must be explained, given that early Christians possessed no political or military power.
The best explanation is that Jesus and His followers fearlessly and relentlessly preached their message in the face of persecution/death.

I believe Jesus is literally a door (John 10:9), that God literally has nostrils (Isaiah 65:5), and Satan literally spewed a river from his mouth (Revelation 12:15).
Why?
Because the Scriptures say so.
Why would God write something if He meant something else?
I trust Him.
I believe in a literal 6 days Creation.
Why?
Because the Scriptures say so.
Why would God write something if He meant something else? He knows what He did put in the Book!

1) On atheism, your mind/brain doesn't exist for the purpose of obtaining truth, but as a biological machine meant to guide survival/reproduction
2) We generally hold our rational faculties as a reliable source of obtaining truth

If moral intuitions are entirely evolved from natural selection, then there's no reason to take them seriously.
They could have evolved otherwise, and are completely arbitrary - the evolutionary process has no desire to follow truth... only the survival of your genes.
Your moral intuitions are entirely explained by the evolutionary advantage of empathy in the survival of social species.

Believing in a transcendent Creator who is a unified explanation for rationality, fine-tuning, psychophysical harmony, goodness, love, beauty, and the Resurrection is a waste of time?
Leave to what? A conglomerate of brute facts that itself is best explained by theism? I'm good.

Predictably, Ortlund shows Catholics believe teachings originally from gnostic legends per multiple scholars and quotes from history, and popular-level Catholics pretend like nothing happened because the Church says so and that's the only ground of their epistemology.
Predictably, Ortlund offers nothing new and his beef boils down to a gripe about Papal power to bind dogma. He claims to rely on things other than arguments from silence but produced no Father who claims Mary's body is in the ground.

I'm half-way through the video, and Gavin is nailing the topic so far.
So many conflate what is described in the Bible with the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This is fallacious and just comes off as emotional grandstanding so one can reject the Bible with the moral high ground.
People often criticize Old Testament regulations about slavery without realizing what a huge step forward they were towards benevolence and fairness. In historical context, the Bible was a burst of goodness and light, from which we are still benefiting today.

There are historical reasons to believe they were written early.

Many skeptics want to have it both ways:

For those who want to claim the 4 Gospels were anonymous, they will have a hard time explaining:

This is a misunderstanding of Protestantism.
Protestants never left the Church Jesus implemented. As long as one is in Christ, they are in that Church, because the Church isn't restricted to a single institution.
We simply left an institution that became corrupt.

Most arguments against free will hinge on a false dichotomy that all actions are either determined or random.

When you watch/engage in enough debates, you'll realize that humans aren't logic machines.

There are two fundamentally different pathways through which the debt is being paid.
