This might be my favorite video I've ever produced. I hope it helps others do some healing.

I’ve been reviewing hundreds of studies of trans healthcare and its outcomes in preparation for future videos. The more I read, the more I’m convinced that gender critical people are comparable to anti-vaxxers.

4 years ago I had my first drink.

4 years ago I started having sex instead of feeling guilt over normal sexual urges.
Did I do it by my own strength?

I’ve always been open about my ideas. I’ve been making pro-LGBT content and have had queer collaborators on my channel for years. My biggest videos are just about arguments for god’s existence, though. Lots of people sub for that content before seeing my other stuff. Also this:

Christians:

“God speaks to me every day”

“Those who don’t accept my god will burn”
Also Christians:
“Atheists are sooo arrogant”

I’ve resisted saying this but I think it just needs to be said. Cameron purposely says inflammatory anti-atheist nonsense to make atheists mad so he can get attention on Twitter. If you respond to him, you’re helping him. That’s what he wants. It’s time to ignore his bait.

My Christian university claimed that secular schools don’t allow freedom of thought, but indoctrinate students into believing in evolution, climate change, and liberalism.

My biggest problem with Christian apologists might be that they teach their followers to gaslight anyone who disagrees with them, especially their own children. When the ideology must be defended at all costs, any criticism of it must be the result of the critic’s moral failure.

This is exactly why it’s dangerous to think a text is divinely inspired when it’s not. He cares more about obeying rules dictated by pre-scientific cultists and polemicists than even *investigating* how to improve well-being for anyone on earth, present or future.

Matt Walsh’s work to outlaw all trans healthcare is motivated by his belief that the Catholic Church should be our authority on gender and sexuality.
To say it’s about “protecting children” while supporting the documented-child-abuse-ridden Catholic Church is laughable.

I spend more time studying the Bible as an atheist than I did as an evangelical Christian, which is surprising given how frequently I read it back then. Somehow the Bible is even more interesting now that I’m not obligated to interpret it to serve a prior conclusion. Anyone else?

My problem with Christian apologetics is not the *Christian* part. It’s the constant misinformation about history, science, and social issues, all wrapped up in a package meant to look like real academia.

I couldn’t have possibly imagined this happening when I was younger. Someone I adored and strived to emulate as a teenager has made a whole video about me. Unfortunately, it’s an hour-long hateful tirade against my character and intelligence. I’m doing my prep work to respond.

According to many Christians, once you’re saved, you’re always saved, meaning I’m an atheist who will still go to heaven since I used to believe. I can’t wait to get there and annoy the shit out of god by asking him all the questions which his followers fail to adequately answer.

If you want us to be able to have honest, open conversations with religious people about potential naturalistic explanations of religious phenomena, you have to stop acting like they’re stupid or deranged. They’re not. By getting so tribal, you’re impeding constructive dialogue.

All I can think about now is how my loved ones who have gone full cult-of-Trump for the past few years are processing his loss. Their leader has now either let them down or become a martyr. Will they stay addicted to his propaganda, or finally move on with their lives?

From my experience as an ex-Christian, often when people explain why they’re no longer Christian, Christian leaders assert that the change was entirely motivated by sin, in complete disregard of what the ex-Christian actually said.
From my experience as a pastor: often when people are reconsidering whether or not they’re still Christian, it’s usually because they want to sleep with somebody the Bible says they can’t.

You do know that the protagonist in I Am Legend is not the hero, right? He TRIES to curb the infection, torturing and killing the (often innocent) vampires in the process. Eventually, he learns that he’s a relic of a time gone by who became a monster in clinging to what he knew.
You think 2020 has seen its biggest twist? Wait until Trump develops the anti-covid serum using his own antibodies like Will Smith in “I Am Legend,” and then wins 50 states.

Just gonna throw it out there as a reminder that William Lane Craig, quite possibly the most revered authority on apologetics among Protestants, believes that demon possession (which looks like mental illness) is real and requires exorcism to fix.

Platforming an exorcist is enabling and even encouraging an abuser. Exorcism is abuse. Demons only exist in stories and imaginations. Religious figures who platform these abusers are complicit in abuse.

Christians are the ones who feel and believe life is empty without Christianity. Non-Christians don’t. You’re not just sharing “the cure.” You’re inventing a disease and trying to convince everyone they’ve got it. Sorry, but I’m not sick.
If you had the cure to the Coronavirus you’d share it with everyone. So why aren’t you sharing the cure to an empty life and Christless eternity with everyone?

One of my favorite things about being an atheist is that I can find my own genuine wonder in the world. As a Christian, I HAD to say I was enamored with certain things or else I displeased god. Now I can marvel in what ACTUALLY matters to me, and feel no guilt over being myself.

Friendly reminder that a degree in theology or ministry is not education in sexuality or gender. Such a degree does not give a person any credibility on or special understanding of sexuality or gender. “PhD” apologists are not more educated on the topic than laypeople.

I might as well add that everyone has an ideology related to gender. Both affirming and anti-LGBTQ people believe things about gender. Calling something ideology isn’t a real critique. It’s lazily relying on a buzzword to smear the outgroup without providing a valid reason.

The dichotomy between being an atheist who’s an asshole in religious discussions and being an atheist who’s indifferent about religious issues is a false one. You can be an atheist who cares deeply about issues surrounding religion and speaks on them out of compassion.

“God helped me get through trauma/addiction/depression. I can’t let myself stop believing, I’m too weak to heal on my own.”

Something I’ve learned since I began talking about atheism and religion online is to check myself when I say “theists” or “religion” but really mean “Christians” or “Abrahamic dogma.” Plenty of us make that mistake, and I’m grateful for those who’ve helped me see greater nuance.
