I appreciate the input, but the things Vaush criticizes as shortcomings are positions about other nominally socialist or communist countries. The video I linked isn't about socialism, it is about the US government.

Congratulations on the selective reading.

Right. So millions of people have committed their lives to studying history, which contains overwhelming proof that your branch and interpretation of Christianity is the absolute truth. But most of them are too weak to acknowledge this, so they choose to deny the obvious truth all their lives, and will be judged accordingly.

I have a lot of patience for religious people and perspectives as long as they're not openly hateful, but you're really testing me here. You may be careful with your words, but your worldview and message are entirely self-centered, judgmental, and plainly offensive.

Yeah that's mine actually.

But if it's rooted in historical fact, rather than cultural hegemony and parents passing on their belief systems to their children, then studying history would naturally lead people to become overwhelmingly Christian. Reality does not reflect that.

So why are historians not generally Christian?

You're not convincing anyone by misusing words.

Here, let me demonstrate: I have hard evidence that God doesn't exist. My evidence is faith.

That's a linguistic bait-and-switch. Your example has nothing to do with religious faith as a basis for conviction.

I think they mean the vacuum part.

To which I'd add that we had astronauts perform this experimentally on the surface of the moon.

I never had it growing up, but came up with it myself as lazy adult that wanted a tasty bowl of cereal. It's really not that far-fetched.

Generally I'm with you, I truly dislike seeing downvote trains. But here I get it. This was a misguided attempt at proselytizing, trying to pass off faith in place of understanding.
