Kirk Cameron Accidentally DESTROYS Christianity

本站添加: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]Hey there, my sexy skepticons. I have a treat for you today. We are looking at a video from fairly famous and well-known actor and Christian content creator Kirk Cameron. And the title of his video is the most disturbing show on TV just proved the Bible right.

[00:00:23]This is going to be very interesting because I did not realize that there was any proof for the Bible.

[00:00:30]Especially not the most disturbing show on TV. So, let's see the wisdom and the knowledge that Kirk Cameron is going to bring to us today. One of the biggest shows in the world right now is The Boys, a dark, brutal superhero series with massive ratings and nearly [music] 57 million viewers per episode globally. And they are watching corrupt heroes, [music] explicit sexual content, corporate greed, media propaganda, [music] political manipulation, power-hungry people hiding behind carefully [music] crafted public images while darkness grows more and more. Stay with me because I'm going to tell you [music] why millions are so captivated by something so twisted and dark. So, if you haven't seen it, and I don't recommend that you do, uh The Boys is not just another superhero show. This isn't just like watching an Avengers movie. Uh it's really an anti-superhero show. It takes the idea of the noble, selfless hero and it completely tears it apart. The superheroes in this world are fake.

[00:01:39]They're manufactured. They're uh invented, marketed, and branded to the public. They smile, they preach virtue, they sell products, they talk about justice and compassion, but behind closed doors, they're narcissistic, violent, they're corrupt, addicted, they're manipulative, and morally rotten.

[00:02:03]And honestly, people resonate with that.

[00:02:05]It It It rings true. Why?

[00:02:09]Well, it's obvious cuz we we we watch media. And a lot of people feel like that's exactly what they see happening in real life.

[00:02:19]In our own world.

[00:02:20]For For example, corporations pretending to care while exploiting people for profit. Can you think of any?

[00:02:29]Politicians pretending to serve for the good of the people while building personal empires. Can you think of any?

[00:02:38]Celebrities preaching morality while living in debauchery and hypocrisy.

[00:02:46]Media outlets shaping narratives, even if they're false, to manipulate public opinion and emotion. Okay, so we are only a few minutes into Kirk Cameron's commentary and it's already low-key hilarious to me that this is now twice in the first couple of minutes that he has outlined these various different institutions that are lampooned by the popular show The Boys. He points out that The Boys undermines the ideas of corporations and celebrity and politicians, but he never mentions the fact that The Boys also takes very solid aim at religion.

[00:03:35]Religion is not the sole focus of the show, but it is certainly a key component in the show. It starts in season 1 and it goes right through the finale in season 5. And even though he can seem to acknowledge the fact that The Boys takes aim at all of these different institutions, the media, the politicians, the corporations, etc. He never bothers to mention that it also provides biting commentary and satire about religion.

[00:04:08]And you'll see that this is setting up a continual trend in this video where Kirk Cameron displays a stunning lack of self-awareness. And I don't just mean for him personally, but I mean for his religion and the institutions that he is trying to represent. He talks about the corrupt and horrific nature of the superheroes in The Boys and how they are power-hungry and they're vain glorious and they are sexually immoral and they have all of these horrible problems and that is absolutely true of the show. And then he talks about, "Does this remind you of anyone?" And apparently he can't even see how closely this aligns to the view that many people, not just me, would have about religion and religious leaders.

[00:05:00]So, I see where he's coming from and yet he just has this big old blind spot for anything that regards specifically religion and commentary on religion or Christianity itself. The Boys taps into a growing suspicion in our culture that much of what we see is actually carefully manufactured fake theater, like fake news, fake narratives, perhaps AI generated. We don't know what to believe anymore.

[00:05:31]Yeah, no kidding. Fake news, fake narratives, fake people.

[00:05:37]Yeah, no one's ever gotten that from the church before. I'm sure that everybody in the church, especially the Christian church, is always genuine. There's never fakeness coming from any of the leaders there. But once again, he is blissfully or willfully oblivious to any ways in which the things that he's talking about can absolutely be applied to religion and the ways in which the show that he's referencing specifically being The Boys completely targets these narratives at religion itself.

[00:06:09]>> And scripture actually warns us about this.

[00:06:12]First Samuel says, "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

[00:06:19]You see, human beings are experts at outer appearance, about image management and optics. We polish the outside while hiding the inside.

[00:06:30]Remember Jesus said, "Polish the inside of the the cup first, and when that's clean, then the outside will be clean as well." So, this isn't just a Hollywood problem. Uh it's not just a Washington, D.C. problem. It's not just a corporate problem. It is a human problem. This is so hilarious to me that he has the gall to bring up the reference to David and the Lord talking about picking people from first Samuel because he's right.

[00:06:58]The Lord does say that he's not going to look at outward appearance. He's going to look at the heart. And almost immediately thereafter, within a few sentences, it is made very clear that David is chosen as the new successor to Saul.

[00:07:16]And it [clears throat] says very explicitly that David was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And now, to be fair, it does not explicitly tell you that this is why David was chosen. But the juxtaposition of these two narratives is glaring. On one hand, again, you have the Lord saying, "Don't worry about height or outward appearance. I'm going to look at the heart. And yet immediately thereafter, within a few sentences, he picks this boy cuz David is very young at this time. This He's like 13 or 14. He picks this boy who is apparently ready and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. So, maybe God wasn't looking at the outward appearance, but he sure did pick a pretty boy, didn't he? And if we want to believe that God was looking at David's heart, we also have many examples from the scriptures themselves that tell you all the problems with David's heart. And yet, you have people like Kirk Cameron with a complete lack of self-awareness who will quote these verses at you completely out of context because they can be fairly secure in the idea that most Christians have not read all the Bible. Most Christians have not read all of 1 Samuel. Most Christians haven't even cracked the spine on the book of 1 Samuel. So, he can throw this stuff out there as platitudes because it just suits his purpose right now. But, it's so sad how someone who is supposed to be a major voice in Christian evangelical uh media it can't even be bothered to quote these things in proper context. But, let's be honest. That's not [snorts] shocking, is it?

[00:09:07]I think one of the reasons that The Boys feels so believable is because it reflects something that the Bible teaches very clearly. Humanity is broken. We have fallen. In Jeremiah, the prophet says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." And if you go to church, that's not a popular verse that you're likely going to hear today.

[00:09:33]Um what our pop culture, me first, I want to be comfortable, culture likes to say is follow your heart.

[00:09:41]People are basically good. Uh humanity will save itself if we just become more enlightened and we're nice to the fish and the owls and the frogs. But history tells a very different story. So, let's get this completely straight here.

[00:09:59]One of the central themes of the show, The Boys, is absolutely that power corrupts. It's the corrupting influence of power on everyone, not just the superheroes, it's even on the supposed protagonist, it's on the political system, it's all over the place. That is absolutely a central theme in the show.

[00:10:23]So, his answer to that central theme of power corrupting is that you cannot trust your own heart. Don't ever trust your own heart.

[00:10:36]Even though he says power corrupts, so I guess if power is corrupting everyone around me and I can't trust my own heart, then who do I need to trust? Hmm, who could he be pointing at? But here is the massive central problem, which of course he will never address in this video and most Christians never address during any of these preachy ass sermons.

[00:11:02]See, since God, whether we want to talk about Yahweh or Jesus or the Holy Spirit, since all of them combined, the Holy Trinity, they have been the undisputed hide-and-seek champions of the universe for at least the last 2,000 years.

[00:11:22]So, you don't want me to trust my own heart.

[00:11:27]And since your own holy book is rife with contradictions and the massive need to apply interpretations because it's written in different languages. It's written centuries apart from one book to the other. It's written by dozens of different authors, all of whom are unknown. But somehow I'm going to reject my heart. You want me to somehow put some faith in this book which speaks with like 50 different voices. And God himself Jesus himself, the Holy Spirit himself can't be bothered to actually present themselves in my life in any tangible way. So, what does that leave me with?

[00:12:09]I have a contradictory book. I have a God who can't be bothered to present himself. I can't trust my own heart. So, I guess what that means is that you expect me to trust what you or other religious mouthpieces claim on behalf of God.

[00:12:27]He just opened this by talking about the corrupting influence of power and how that is spelled out in the show The Boys.

[00:12:34]So, clearly power corrupts people. Power leads people to do bad things. But since I can't trust my heart and since I can't actually trust your holy book and because your God can't be bothered to talk to me, I guess I'm supposed to put my trust in people like Kirk Cameron or my pastor at my church or the evangelist on TV or my president who claims to be a Christian but is nothing of the sort.

[00:12:59]And somehow I guess that's where I'm supposed to put my trust, not in my own heart. And that's not going to corrupt people at all. I'm sure that putting your trust in these fake religious leaders who want to claim that they know something about the Bible, who want to claim that they know something about religion, that's not going to have any kind of corrupting influence at all. No, not at all.

[00:13:22]And at the same time that he's talking about these scary themes in The Boys.

[00:13:29]He's then telling you to submit to one of the most insidious schemes in human history.

[00:13:37]It's this whole scheme of religion. It's this whole scheme of Christianity. It's this whole scheme of trust us, we know what the book says, even though the plain text of the book says something entirely different. Even though there's no interpretation that any neutral reader could pull out of the book that actually matches the crap that they are shoving down your throat. And yet, nevertheless, we're supposed to put our trust in them because we can't trust our own heart. No, that's evil. It's bad.

[00:14:07]So, that's not going to corrupt anyone.

[00:14:10]I'm sure there's going to be no corruption that comes from handing over your natural rational thought to people who tell you that the words of the book don't say what the words of the book mean.

[00:14:21]That is disgusting.

[00:14:24]The Bible tells a totally different story. If you give sinful human beings enough power, eventually, corruption will emerge.

[00:14:34]Think of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel.

[00:14:37]Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[00:14:41]Notice how this complete mouthpiece for the Christian right cannot even be bothered to accurately convey scripture. And this is what I was talking about. I can't trust my own heart.

[00:14:54]And if I read the Bible, it doesn't say what he's claiming that it says. So, who in the hell am I supposed to trust in his warped worldview? And I'm bringing this up because, once again, we get this narrative that I hear over and over again from Christians about, "Oh, Babel was about challenging God." And absolute power corrupts absolutely. Like, none of that comes from the text. None of that is anywhere in Genesis. That is all something that you have to read into it.

[00:15:25]You have to bring your own interpretation because if taken at face value, if you just read the story of the Tower of Babel, which is very short. It only takes you 5 or 10 minutes to read the whole thing. If you just read it without bringing your magic sky daddy goggles to the to the game, there is nothing there that talks about power corrupting Nimrod. It doesn't talk about the people trying to challenge God.

[00:15:53]It really paints, once again, a very ugly and nasty picture about this vindictive, nasty God.

[00:16:02]But, somehow, I can't trust my own heart, I can't trust my own mind, I can't trust the fact that I can read, I have to trust his [ __ ] interpretation, even though his interpretation exists nowhere in the Bible itself. It only exists when you layer on your post-biblical lens to try to craft it to the story that you needed to say in order to bolster your own worldview. And you start to get worldwide governments looking to take over. Think of Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring corrupts, absolutely.

[00:16:39]It's a universal principle.

[00:16:41]And this doesn't just happen sometimes, it happens all the time.

[00:16:46]It's the story of Pharaoh. It's the story of Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar.

[00:16:50]This is the story of every corrupt king and every corrupt empire.

[00:16:55]He just had the nerve to bring up Pharaoh, this horrible, corrupt Pharaoh.

[00:17:02]Now, of course, he's talking about the Pharaoh from the Book of Exodus because, obviously, Egypt had many Pharaohs, but we know this one particular Pharaoh from the lexicon of the Christian and Jewish Hebrew text. So, that's what he's referring to. But, the text is so explicitly clear that the whole reason that Pharaoh resisted them as much as he did, and the whole reason that Pharaoh kept telling them that no, you cannot go is because Yahweh, God himself, hardened Pharaoh's heart.

[00:17:39]But, now you're going to tell me that Pharaoh was corrupt, even though God not only hardened Pharaoh's heart repeatedly, but he said explicitly that he was doing this for his own glory. In other words, he set up this cosmic battle where he is telling Moses to get your people out of there, but then Yahweh is stepping in and making sure that Pharaoh will not go along with it. Why does he do this? Because he wants to create a pretense, which will allow him to bring all of the plagues, which will also allow him to kill scores of innocent Egyptians. And he's doing all of this for his own glory. If you want to believe that your God is actually, oh, I don't know, a God who has power, who can make things happen, he never had to go through any of this soap opera. If he was the God that Christians claim he is, then he just could have pulled his people out. He could have teleported them. He could have made the Egyptian guards stand completely frozen while all of the Hebrews walked out. He could have done anything he wanted, but no, according to the text, he orchestrated this whole sick game of Moses saying let our people go, and then God saying no, don't let them, no, harden your heart. God was forcing this whole drama the entire time. And along the way, God then proceeded to kill scores of innocent Egyptians just to jerk himself off and to make himself feel glorified.

[00:19:21]But, you want to tell me that Pharaoh was corrupt. Once again, I can't trust my own heart, but I'm supposed to believe people like this on YouTube or in the church or whatever who can't even be bothered to read their own holy text. It's the story of Noah's generation before the flood.

[00:19:44]Genesis says that the thoughts of man were only evil all of the time.

[00:19:50]Sounds like The Boys, right? That's That's chilling to think about where this is leading.

[00:19:57]Yeah, it is chilling and it does sound just like The Boys and he is apparently so damn clueless about what he's saying that it's almost painful and humorous, but also awkward to watch. See, he has just, within the span of a few minutes, made pointed comparisons between The Lord of the Rings, which I'm pretty sure is universally understood as being pure fiction, and then he made another pointed comparison, a new a number of them, to The Boys, which is also understood by everyone as being pure fiction. And he's comparing [clears throat] all of these things to the Bible.

[00:20:48]Mhm.

[00:20:49]Okay, I don't know if those comparisons are doing quite what you think that they are. I'm not sure if you really thought this through properly before you put together this script because I don't know if you want to sit here and make comparison after comparison between what you believe is your true holy book and all of these works of obvious fiction. But let's Let's set that aside.

[00:21:14]Then he goes on to quote Genesis 6:5. This is talking right before the flood where God's saying, "Oh, everyone's evil."

[00:21:23]Now, in case you had any doubts whatsoever, this verse that he's bringing up is some of the best proof in the entire Bible that the Bible itself is pure mythology.

[00:21:37]Why do I say that? Because the idea that all of the thoughts of all of the men were only evil all of the time is laughably stupid, especially in what is supposed to be, in some worldviews, a realistic context. Now, we've heard many stories before where there is a population of people or a species of creatures or what have you that is all evil all the time. Do you know what we call those stories? We call them fiction.

[00:22:13]Because in the real damn world, there is never a time when all of the men all of the time have nothing but evil thoughts. All of their thoughts are evil.

[00:22:24]That is a basic precept of story building when you're trying to create the big bad.

[00:22:32]But that has no relation to real life whatsoever. And I think it's so funny.

[00:22:37]He can't even draw this connection because he himself brought up The Lord of the Rings.

[00:22:42]But when you paint people in this way, whether it's all the earth right before the flood, or whether it's all of the Canaanites right before the Israelites move into the Holy Land, what it does is it serves as a way of demonizing humanity to try to make some moral sense out of what is inherently a tale of a wicked and vindictive God because if you can't put in this blanket fairy tale statement that oh, all of the people all of the time had all evil thoughts then the obvious question that comes up is well, you're going to kill everyone.

[00:23:23]What? So instead you have to make caricatures out of them. You have to demonize them which either means that you're lying to make the story sound better or just that it's fiction. It was never real in the first place. It's no different than J.R.R.

[00:23:42]Tolkien describing the orcs.

[00:23:46]Tolkien never went into detail about what the orcs were like, whether there were any good orcs, whether they ever had any non-evil thoughts. No, because in Tolkien's world they were just the big bad. They were the army of the evil people and as great as The Lord of the Rings is it doesn't have emotional depth with regard to its armies of enemy hordes.

[00:24:13]That was a bridge that Tolkien never chose to cross and many fictional fantasy authors go that route because it's a lot easier to say hey, all of those ugly creatures, all of the ones that are coming across the border, all the ones that have weapons, they're all bad. Wipe them all out.

[00:24:34]And for fantasy narratives, which the Bible is a fantasy narrative, that makes it far easier to understand the story.

[00:24:42]But if this was a real-world narrative, the idea that everyone on that side is just pure evil. I mean, imagine in World War 1 or World War 2 and I told you not just that Hitler was evil, not just that the Nazi regime was evil, but I told you that every German whether he was on the front lines, or whether he was in support, or whether it was someone back in the the mother country, every German was evil.

[00:25:12]That's a stupid statement. That is just the kind of thing that you propagate when you're trying to demonize an entire population for the purpose of propaganda. It has no basis in reality whatsoever. Even if we assume that the Germans were bad people in general, the idea that every single German had nothing but evil thoughts all the time is just laughably stupid. And if we're honest, we can even see echoes of that darkness in our own hearts.

[00:25:45]The problem is not those [snorts] bad guys on that show, or those those rich men north of Richmond. It's It's not those guys out there. The problem is everywhere.

[00:25:59]The heart of the problem is the problem of the human heart.

[00:26:03]Right-wing, left-wing, religious, secular, rich, poor, men, women, old guys, children, sin is an equal opportunity destroyer. And here is exactly the central conceit of Christianity. According to their worldview, we live under an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent, and perfectly just God who created all of us, and he created the entire universe.

[00:26:35]But every bad thing in our life, and every bad thing on our earth, is our fault.

[00:26:43]Has nothing to do with Yahweh, even though he's omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent, and perfectly just. Even though he has all the power to do anything that he wants, everything that's bad in this world is our fault. It's the the fault of our evil hearts, and everything that's good is his credit. If you step out of this bankrupt world view of Christianity, you've probably heard that a good leader takes more than their share of the blame, and less than their share of the credit, which is exactly 180° opposite of anything that Yahweh ever does. Yahweh doesn't just take less than his share of the blame, and more than his share of the credit. He takes all the credit, and he takes none of the blame, even though he is, according to the Christian theology, by far the most powerful player on the board. And yet, he's never at fault. It's always your fault. This is so morally bankrupt. This world view is functionally the equivalent of taking a big bunch of toddlers, and putting those toddlers on a playground that has drugs, and automatic weapons, and live electrical wires, and violent ravenous beasts, and chemical agents, and all of these other horrible dangers and ways that they can hurt each other. And then, when everything goes horribly wrong, then the adults blame the toddlers. You just because the situation that the adults created blew up in their face.

[00:28:29]You're blaming the toddlers. This is what Christians are doing. They're blaming the toddlers for the faults of the parents, because we are supposed to believe that Yahweh is all of the omni's, and yet, he is the one who is always taking the credit and placing the blame whenever anything goes wrong on the on the playground where he has put the automatic weapons and the ravenous beasts and every other danger that could be out there. It's always the toddler's fault.

[00:29:01]So, one of the most fascinating characters in The Boys is Homelander. Homelander is terrifying because he represents what happens when somebody with deep inner darkness gains unlimited power and has zero accountability.

[00:29:18]He doesn't become evil because he's powerful. His power actually reveals that he was already evil.

[00:29:26]And that's actually a deeply biblical idea. Power often exposes character more than it changes character. A lot of people think, "If only I had more money, then I would finally be comfortable and fulfilled and content. Or if I only had more influence, then I could help people and then I would be happy. Or if only I had more authority, then I could finally become who I know I'm supposed to be."

[00:29:55]Not true.

[00:29:56]Unchecked power without transformed character only becomes dangerous. He has quite literally just completely contradicted himself. Now, to be fair, I don't mind this argument per se. You know, that whole theoretical experiment of, you know, was the person evil to begin with and power made it worse or were they kind of maybe a decent person but power corrupted them?

[00:30:26]I mean, you can go down that hypothetical road endlessly and I don't think that there's anything wrong with discussing that in any particular context. But, just a few minutes ago, he played the whole absolute power corrupts absolutely card.

[00:30:46]You can't have it both ways. I mean, in the real world things are complicated and sticky and maybe there's a mix of both, but he's not being nuanced at all in his verbage. He starts off with this argument that says power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, as we've all heard before. And now he's just completely going the other way and saying, "No, well, you know, it didn't make you corrupt you or didn't make you evil. You were already evil."

[00:31:14]Pick a lane, you know, pick some lane that you want to discuss or you want to argue or give me a case study where you actually want to dive into the details and we can have an intelligent conversation, but otherwise, it just sounds like someone who's grabbing any rhetorical straw that they can because it just feels good or sounds good in his own ears.

[00:31:38]That's why the Bible repeatedly warns us against putting ultimate trust and power and authority into the hands of human rulers. Psalm 146 says, "Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings who cannot save."

[00:31:56]And yet, every generation keeps searching for that perfect leader, for that political savior, a strongman, um, a a a Messiah of sorts, somebody who's going to finally crush the bad guys, restore justice and order. But history keeps teaching us the same lesson.

[00:32:18]Human beings make terrible gods.

[00:32:22]I couldn't agree with him more. I That's absolutely correct. Human beings make terrible gods. You know what else makes a very terrible god?

[00:32:33]The biblical Yahweh and or Jesus and or the Holy Spirit, or the Trinity, it makes for a horrible god. It makes for a horrible god in the scriptures, and it makes for a horrible god in the way that we see our world manifest before us.

[00:32:52]To be clear, I don't want human gods. I don't want any gods. But, if there was a god out there, I sure as hell would hope that it's not Yahweh, and or Jesus, and or the Holy Spirit, because they have proven to be absolutely derelict in their duties. Now, maybe that's the best thing that they can be.

[00:33:13]Absent is probably the best version of the Trinity that we could possibly have, because every time someone claims to have seen real action or real words from any member of the Trinity, it's far worse than just being absent. But, at the best incarnation of these so-called gods, they are absolutely derelict in their duties. When your gods can't even be bothered to make themselves known in even one tangible way, you pretty much have three choices.

[00:33:51]Correct me if I'm wrong. These are the three that come to mind. One is that you can either reject them as the fairy tales that they are. That's clearly the route that I have taken.

[00:34:00]Or, you can hand your cognitive agency over to those people who claim to speak on their behalf.

[00:34:08]Or, you can decide that you somehow know what the absentee gods want. Because when you read the Bible, you know the exact right way to read that text. You know how to interpret properly. You know what the real meaning of that text is.

[00:34:26]So, either you dismiss them as the fairy tales that they are, or you hand over this power to others to interpret it for you or you seize that power for yourself and that's not going to end well either.

[00:34:41]The Christian religion expects you to either abdecate your rational thought to those who are deemed to be church leaders.

[00:34:50]Which of course fosters their own corruption or you have to rely on yourself. But he's already told us you can't rely on yourself, your heart's evil.

[00:34:59]So how are you supposed to be able to read and interpret and understand any of this teaching when you can't rely on yourself? And if you are putting your faith in the church leaders, that's power. That's going to corrupt them according to your own interpretations. I did a little research and I found that the creator of The Boys, Eric Kripke, has openly said that Homelander, the really really bad guy, is partly meant to represent Donald Trump specifically and his far-right wing politics. So whether people agree or disagree with that politically isn't really my main point right now.

[00:35:36]My main point is the deeper issue. The darkness that he is describing does not belong exclusively to one side of the political aisle, the far right.

[00:35:50]History is full of authoritarianism from the conservative side and from the liberal side.

[00:35:57]Human pride will take any side of the aisle to get what it wants and it doesn't wear one color or one uniform. I mean that's why some people have joked that there's really only one party, not two, but only one, the uni-party behind the scenes. One ruling class, one elite system, one group fighting publicly while privately they benefit from the same structures of power and they're toasting each other, having a great time, putting on political theater for the rest of us to think that the good guys are trying to get rid of the bad guys. Now, you may or may not agree with that idea completely, but we all feel this growing mistrust, this distrust, because we instinctively recognize something true.

[00:36:46]The human heart loves power.

[00:36:50]It always has. This is embarrassing. I mean, this is really embarrassing. And I I'm not going to devolve into this long political diatribe, but since he brought this up, I have to mention this.

[00:37:04]When I was growing up, I'm old enough to remember in the United States where it did feel sometimes a lot like both of the major political parties, because America is basically a two-party system, sometimes it did feel like they're very similar. Sometimes it felt like there's just two sides of the same coin.

[00:37:25]That has changed dramatically in this country, especially over the last 25 years, especially over the last 10 or 12 years. And if you can't acknowledge that at least, then you shouldn't be trusted to get on the interwebs. And I'm not sitting here telling you, "Oh, Republicans bad or Democrats bad." But if there are bad people on both sides of that fence, I am well aware of that. But if you can't even see the difference between the parties right now, then you have your head shoved so far up your alt-right ass that there is no point in even having a cogent conversation with you, because you are incapable of having that discourse.

[00:38:09]I'm not saying that you have to say Trump bad and Democrats good. And like, for example, in the last administration with Biden, I could tell you plenty of things that I was not very happy about with that administration. In fact, with every presidency since I have been old enough to vote, Republican or Democrat, I can tell you things about that administration that I did not exactly appreciate. But, this whole narrative about, "Well, there everyone's just corrupt and everyone just wants power and it's more of just this battle to make you think that they're doing the right thing when they're all kind of the same." Grow the hell up and pay attention. Now, maybe you hate Democrats and you love Republicans, but where this country is now, at least at this point in history, don't ever give me this lame intellectually lazy take that somehow they're all the same and it's all just some product of evil human hearts doing evil things to grab more power and be more corrupt because you're just not paying any attention and you are broadcasting your own ignorance. as it always will. And without moral goodness, without moral transformation, that power transforms into manipulation and control.

[00:39:29]And The Boys is putting that on display.

[00:39:32]That's why merely replacing one political tribe or guy with another tribe or girl will never fully solve the biggest problem because the sickness is way deeper than politics. That's just a surface makeover. The sickness is of the soul and it's spiritual. Even though I won't watch it, I think that The Boys is incredibly insightful. It's echoing what the scriptures tell us about the evil of the human heart, but it's also tragically incomplete. Did you catch that?

[00:40:09]He won't watch it.

[00:40:12]He has not watched The Boys. He's seen news articles. I'm sure he's seen maybe a clip or two on YouTube, but he has not and will not watch The Boys. And to be absolutely clear, I don't care if you watch The Boys. I understand that for someone who claims to have traditional Christian values, The Boys is probably not a show that would appeal to you.

[00:40:38]It has explicit acts of violence, grotesque violence. It has explicit sexual scenarios. It has all sorts of debauchery going on. And if you told me that, "Hey, you know, I'm just really conservative and I'm Christian and I don't want to watch that kind of content." Fine. I have no problem with that whatsoever. It's one thing to make your own decisions, your own internal censorship about what you choose to watch and what what you don't want to watch, but it's entirely different to take that stance. And after an entire show has concluded, five full seasons of content, then you decide with your large platform, his 250,000 subscribers, and he's gotten like 60,000 views on this video so far, then you want to get out there and create an entire sermon, cuz that's what this is.

[00:41:28]It's a sermon centered on the ideas that you think you know about The Boys when the fact is you haven't watched it and you won't watch it.

[00:41:39]This is so sadly consistent with Christianity. And I don't care if you don't watch certain shows.

[00:41:49]To be clear, like there is a bunch of TV out there. I don't even have live TV. I haven't had it in more than a decade, but there are many shows out there that I think are stupid shows.

[00:41:59]But I haven't actually watched them. So, I'm not going to sit here on my channel and do some whole video talking about the show that I've never even watched.

[00:42:07]I've never watched a full episode of The Bachelor. I mean, I've never seen more than a few minutes of it on in at someone else's house.

[00:42:15]I think The Bachelor is a stupid show.

[00:42:18]But, as much as I feel like it's a stupid show, I'm not going to sit here and have the balls to do a whole breakdown video for you about what The Bachelor means and what it says to our society and how we should interpret it through scripture when I've never even watched it. The arrogance it takes to pull that move is totally mind-blowing to me.

[00:42:41]Dude, if you can't even be bothered to watch the show, which again, I'm fine if you don't want to watch it, but then don't sit here and preach to me about what The Boys means. Cuz that is just so ignorant. But, like I said, this really is so consistent with the way Christians en masse operate.

[00:43:01]Here's where I'm going with this.

[00:43:02]I would bet you a very sizable chunk of money that he's never read the entire Quran.

[00:43:09]In fact, quite frankly, I would be surprised if he's ever read any of the Quran. He's probably seen, you know, a verse here or there from the Quran, but he's probably never even allowed himself to be exposed to any deep access to the Quran. But, I also am sure that he'd be happy to tell you all of the reasons in his head why Islam is horribly false, why it's evil, why it's the wrong way, even though he's not going to do anything at all to actually investigate it. He sure as hell isn't going to read the book.

[00:43:46]He's not going to watch the show. He's not going to do anything, but he still feels completely justified in pronouncing all of his judgments on things that he has never even tried to experience. This is so classically Christian to me.

[00:44:04]And even though he's never actually sat down and watched The Boys.

[00:44:09]He has no problem getting up in front of this big audience and giving you this full sermon.

[00:44:15]Also, I want you to keep something else in mind. This guy, if you're not well aware of his past, not only has he become a total Christian evangelist guy after being an actor, famous actor in his youth, but he's also not just Christian, he's a young Earth creationist.

[00:44:33]Why do I bring that up now? I mean, to be clear, this video has nothing to do with young Earth creationism, but do you think that he came to his conclusion about young Earth creationism after he sat down and thoughtfully and thoroughly educated himself on cosmology, on evolution, and on all of the other scientific disciplines that would, on the surface, obliterate young Earth creationism?

[00:45:00]Do you think that he really dove into the facts and after making a detailed, thoughtful analysis, said, "No, I think the Bible's right. I think the Earth is 6,000 years old and the universe is 6,000 years old and that all makes sense to me."

[00:45:17]Or do you think that he just read his Bible and then decided, without any sort of balanced information whatsoever, that all he needs to know to completely discard the entire mountain of scientific evidence is, "Because the Bible told me so."

[00:45:35]So, I know I'm going off on a tangent about him not watching The Boys, and I don't care if he's watched The Boys, but then to have the gall to tell me what The Boys means when you cannot and will not watch the show, is so emblematic of the way that Christians operate. It's the same logic that they use when they discard all of science.

[00:45:57]At least some of them do, for their fundamentalist views, because they don't need to know what the actual corpus of knowledge is that's out there. They just need to know what's in the good book and they can disperse every other criticism that comes their way.

[00:46:13]The show diagnoses the disease, corruption, pride, lust, wrath, evil. It sees all of that, the propaganda, the manipulation. It sees the violence, the greed and the lust for power. It understands that humanity cannot save itself through a political hero or through corporations or celebrity culture or or techno power. It rightly describes them as corrupt, but the showrunner, the creator and the script writers have no real answer.

[00:46:50]They only have cynicism. They only have rage, only exposing the bad guys, only the endless cycle of trying to destroy the people that you believe are the enemy. And how exactly does he know that the showrunner and the script writers have no real answer?

[00:47:09]Need I remind you again, he has not watched the show. At the most, he has read some articles about the show. He's read some articles about the script writers and the showrunner Eric Kripke and somehow he thinks he knows everything about the show. And to be fair, if you've watched The Boys, it is a cynical show. I'm not trying to tell you that it's a hopeful show. But I don't want to hear someone who has stuck their fingers in their ears and covered their eyes and said, "I'm not going to watch the show." Then tell me what the show means and then tell me what the script writers meant or thought and then tell me what the showrunner has in his mind. If you want to have even the slightest modicum of authority on this, watch a [ __ ] episode, you imbecile. Oh Oh gosh, this is so ignorant. So, how does he even know what their view is on this? Because they didn't turn the show into a testament for Jesus Christ. Is that why? It is a cynical show, but there is room in the entire world of fiction for us sometimes to have cynical shows.

[00:48:16]To then turn that into a statement that Eric Kripke has no hope or doesn't, you know, know anything else about the future. I mean, yes, maybe Eric Kripke always wanted the show to be dark and cynical. Maybe the script writers always wanted it to be dark and cynical. The original comic was dark and cynical.

[00:48:36]But, that's entirely different from saying that they have no answers. Okay?

[00:48:41]I can write a story about something that's dark and cynical, but that doesn't mean that I personally have no answers for life. It just means that that is the service of the story that I'm writing. Has nothing to do with each other.

[00:48:53]It's so funny that he acknowledges many of these subversive themes in the show, but he will not mention how it also paints religion and specifically Christianity as outright toxic. I mean, even though he hasn't watched the damn show, he's apparently done enough research of it that he has to know that it doesn't just lampoon politics. It doesn't just lampoon superhero stereotypes. It doesn't just lampoon the the media. Of course, it lampoons religion and specifically Christianity, but he has no answer for any of that whatsoever.

[00:49:32]But, after not being bothered to watch a single damn episode, he's going to tell us what the show runners have in their head.

[00:49:39]That is some grade A [ __ ] arrogance right there.

[00:49:43]And honestly, that's where many of us are stuck in our culture right now.

[00:49:50]In the real world. Everybody thinks the problem is those guys. Just get him out, replace him with another person, and we can fix it.

[00:49:59]But Jesus alone gives us the true answer.

[00:50:04]He literally just condemned the idea of thinking that you can solve something with the right guy and then told you who the right guy is, in his thinking, of course. Because the right guy is Jesus. And I understand that Christians, of course, are going to say Jesus is the answer. Fine, do that.

[00:50:21]But have some damn self-awareness.

[00:50:24]You're literally building the sermon on the idea that just looking at one other person as being the new solution is not the solution, and then your answer to it is to show me another person. Yes, you claim that he's God. I know that.

[00:50:40]But there is no evidence whatsoever beside you asserting things from your holy text that you can't even seem to read properly that would make me believe that this is God. So, to anyone who hasn't already bought your entire story hook, line, and sinker, you are literally telling me that you can't just point to another person as the answer, and then you're telling me, "Hey, but look to this person." Who, by the way, is dead, who, by the way, you cannot commune with in any way, will not answer your prayers, will not show himself to you, will not do anything to make himself tangibly known in this world, and has been gone for 2,000 years, but he's the answer.

[00:51:21]That makes perfect sense.

[00:51:24]The lack of self-awareness here is so breathtaking.

[00:51:29]He says, "Look in the mirror. Look in the mirror, every single one of you."

[00:51:33]Jesus said, "Evil comes from the right-wingers? No.

[00:51:38]Evil comes from the human heart. You were born with it.

[00:51:43]You don't have to have any bad influences to make you evil.

[00:51:47]You've got the seed of every known form of evil within your heart enough to make the demons tremble.

[00:51:54]We don't need to look to systems or institutions or political opponents to destroy the world.

[00:52:02]It gets destroyed from that which comes from within us. That's a That's a hard thing to accept.

[00:52:09]But it's true.

[00:52:11]It's actually the beginning of hope.

[00:52:15]Cuz if the real problem is out there, then we're helpless because we can't control all of that. But if the problem is inside here, then maybe my heart can be transformed.

[00:52:28]And maybe yours can, too. And that's exactly what the gospel promises.

[00:52:33]He just accused Eric Kripke and the scriptwriters for The Boys of having nothing but cynicism. And then he follows it up by telling us that the entire problem is that we, every single one of us, are horribly evil deep within our hearts. That we all have the seed of every horrible evil within us. But everyone else is cynical.

[00:52:57]Okay, everyone else is cynical. But here, let me tell you about how you are broken, how you are wrong, how you are evil, how you have the seed of evil in your heart. But you then want to say that other people are cynical. And Christians will look at you with a completely straight face and paint this as gloriously optimistic. Let me tell you how hopeful it is to tell you that you are an utter piece of [ __ ] You are drowning in sin.

[00:53:27]And [clears throat] you can only be saved by believing in our magic fairy tale god-man. That is their idea of hope after they have drowned you in cynicism about the nature of humanity and how you are all every single one of us you me my neighbor everyone were all horribly evil were all broken your filthy your broken your disgusting your evil but it's the rest of the world that's cynical.

[00:53:55]Hmm.

[00:53:56]Okay.

[00:53:58]I had a conversation with an Uber driver the other day and he was of a different religious framework and system and I was explaining the gospel to him explaining that Christianity is not the story of humanity saving itself by keeping all of the religious rules and pleasing God by our actions.

[00:54:17]It sounds kind of noble and and it allows us to feel righteous in and of ourselves but Christianity says that will never work. No, the gospel is the story of God stepping into a corrupt and dark humanity to rescue us. Jesus is the opposite of every corrupt counterfeit hero. Jesus is the opposite of Homelander.

[00:54:42]This is just so many lies. It's just lies layered on lies. So many respects he is at least rhetorically speaking just like Homelander because he doesn't seem to be capable of telling the truth. He's talking about salvation and how the standard Christian diatribe about how you can't be saved by acts but the whole Bible is famously contradictory as to whether you're saved by acts or by grace. I'm not going to go through them all here because this would devolve into this long Bible study but of course the Old Testament is heavily about acts and of course Christians will try to tell you that doesn't apply anymore but all those stories about how it doesn't apply are just them making [ __ ] up but then even in the New Testament there are famously a number of contradictory verses It's whether you are saved through acts or through grace or through some combination of both, what have you. But he's not going to do that because he has this sermon that he has to give you or the sermon that he has to give this poor person who gave him a ride who wasn't a Christian and he thinks somehow this is helping. I mean, Jesus himself I've gone through this in great detail in other videos. In Matthew 5:17, Christians, and I'm sure he's one of them, will point to this like this means you don't have to follow the old laws, but that's exactly the opposite of what Matthew 5:17 says.

[00:56:11]Jesus, in the words that they attribute to him, made it painfully clear that you're supposed to follow every jot and every tittle of the old law, but he will not acknowledge that because it doesn't suit his narrative. But even if we put all that aside, let's forget about the argument about which of the old laws still apply, which ones don't, which is spectacularly [snorts] contradictory whenever you start talking to multiple Christians about this because they all have their own custom worldview about which one should apply and which one shouldn't. But let's put that aside for a a moment.

[00:56:46]The whole system that he's promoting is just so insanely illogical and broken and entirely unnecessary.

[00:56:57]He's telling you that you you're not saved by acts, you're saved by Jesus Christ.

[00:57:03]But the fact is then if that's the case, if his being crucified on the cross saved us, then I'd be saved now myself.

[00:57:13]But no, apparently I have to, you know, profess him as my Lord and Savior and repent my sins, but I could have done that without the crucifixion. Every time that Christians want to tell you why the crucifixion was necessary, they always put on other steps that you have to do in in to be saved. And if you're going to do those other steps anyway, then the crucifixion wasn't even needed. It's completely devoid of logic.

[00:57:41]There is no reason to believe that Yahweh had to wait thousands of years under their own theology before he finally decided to step in and save us with his sacrificed god-man child. And even if you want to believe that, then why was the sacrifice even necessary? Why can't the omnipotent creator god of the universe just forgive you if you profess your belief in him and bow down to him and repent of your sins? Why is there necessary in any level to have a human sacrifice to make that happen? None of it makes sense.

[00:58:18]The atonement narrative doesn't make sense. It's not even consistent with the Old Testament self. He This is nothing but contradictory lies that he's giving you.

[00:58:28]He had ultimate power, yet he used it to serve others in humility. He was worshipped by angels, yet he washed his disciples' feet.

[00:58:40]He could command armies, yet he laid down his own life for his enemies. You see the difference?

[00:58:48]Please. Please show me whatever verses you can come up with that would [laughter] indicate in any way that Jesus ever demonstrated any ability to be able to command armies.

[00:59:04]Please show anywhere where there's even the slightest indication that any army would have ever listened to a single word that he said.

[00:59:14]He couldn't even command his own goddamn religious leaders.

[00:59:19]He couldn't command the people that headed his own religion, and he sure as hell couldn't command any of the real army in his day, which was, by the way, the Romans. If he could command the Romans, then he wouldn't have been crucified.

[00:59:34]He couldn't command anything. Any narrative you want to give me about Jesus being able to command armies is you making that [ __ ] up in your head.

[00:59:45]Not only because there's no reason to believe that it happened historically, but also even in the scriptures it doesn't say it. The closest you can get to that is by pulling some [ __ ] out of Revelation, which is something that, according to most Christians, hasn't even happened yet. So, you can't tell me that he could command armies based on something that you think will happen at some indeterminate point at some far-off place in the future.

[01:00:12]That's ridiculous.

[01:00:14]If you want to tell me that Jesus is a better fictional character than Homelander, then you'll get no argument from me there, because Homelander is a horrible villain. Like, the worst of all villains.

[01:00:28]And even as an atheist, I will tell you that, you know, in terms of religious figures and in terms of, uh, you know, holy scriptures and such, Jesus had some nice teachings. Jesus was rather revolutionary for his day in the in the social paradigms that he was pushing.

[01:00:46]So, I'm not sitting here trying to tell you that everything from the New Testament about Jesus is horrible and he's a horrible person or horrible character.

[01:00:56]But, when you want to tack onto it all of these superlatives about him being able to command [clears throat] armies, like, you are making [ __ ] up, bro, and it's just [clears throat] weird because Christians don't even hear themselves when they say these things. They will just assert to you that he could have commanded armies even though every bit of evidence from the scriptures themselves indicates that he had no ability to do that whatsoever. He never manipulated the crowds for selfish gain.

[01:01:28]Jesus never lied. He never exploited the weak and the vulnerable. He never abused power. The Bible says, "God is light and in him there is no darkness at all."

[01:01:41]That's the hero we need. That's the strong man who can save us and him alone. That's why Jesus is not just another political figure or a moral teacher. He wasn't just a virtuous rabbi and he wasn't just a prophet. He is the only truly incorruptible king.

[01:02:01]Jesus was never a king.

[01:02:04]Period.

[01:02:05]If you want to label Jesus as a king, that has as much validity as one of my fans on YouTube saying, "Adam, you are a king."

[01:02:16]I mean, you can call me anything you want, but the simple fact is that just calling someone a king because you feel like it does not make them a king. And I'm not just saying this as some sort of snarky, you know, lawyerly atheist who says, "Well, technically he wasn't a king." The Jewish Bible, the Hebrew Bible itself, gives explicit requirements for what it takes to be a king.

[01:02:39]Jesus never fulfilled any of them.

[01:02:43]Even if we don't look into the Hebrew Bible itself, the idea that you're a king without ever having any land, any throne, any kingdom. How does a king not have a kingdom? And of course, the brain dead apologetics is like, "Oh, the whole world is Jesus's kingdom." Okay, fine.

[01:03:01]Then the whole world is Santa's kingdom, too. We can play that stupid game if you want. Santa never lied. Santa was awesome. Santa is the king of the universe. I mean, it has as much validity that I would tell you that Santa is the king of the universe, the king of the earth, as Jesus is. Because other than you making [ __ ] up, there is no other connection between Jesus and kingship.

[01:03:28]And unlike the false saviors of this world, or the world of the boys, Jesus doesn't merely expose evil. He kills it.

[01:03:37]Not first by overthrowing bad governments, that will come.

[01:03:42]But first by transforming hearts.

[01:03:46]You see, that that's the miracle of the Holy Spirit.

[01:03:50]It doesn't start by changing out there, it starts by changing in here. A new heart with new desires. You receive new eyes so you can see the truth by faith.

[01:04:02]You have new ears to hear the words of God.

[01:04:06]You have new life.

[01:04:08]It's not perfection overnight, but it is a genuine transformation over time from the inside out. Jesus kills evil. Okay. Jesus, slayer of evil. When exactly did [clears throat] Jesus kill evil? I mean, I guess the canonical answer would be he killed evil on the cross. So, there's no more evil?

[01:04:33]No more evil in the world, right?

[01:04:35]Because Jesus killed it. And then he goes on to tell you, no, he kills evil by changing our heart. So, I guess well, how does he explain the fact that people have been bad people and have been been converted to Buddhism and have become better people. People have been bad people and have then converted to Islam and have become better people.

[01:04:57]People have been bad people and have converted to Hinduism and have become better people. You can find case studies for this in every single religion. So, if your idea of killing evil is that for some converts to your religion, they became better after they were converted.

[01:05:15]That is the lamest metric you could possibly have. And even then, it's just a stretch because he's admitting that okay, you're still you still have problems.

[01:05:25]So, all of this evil that Jesus killed, where should we let all of the Holocaust victims know that Jesus killed evil?

[01:05:34]Should we let all of the victims of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge know that Jesus killed evil? I mean, hell, every person who's been uh you know, abused by someone or attacked by someone when they were young or even in present day, we should tell them that can't happen because Jesus killed evil. Evil doesn't exist anymore.

[01:05:56]Thank God.

[01:05:58]Thank God we have no more evil to deal with.

[01:06:00]The Christian disconnect on this.

[01:06:06]This honestly confused the hell out of me even when I was a Christian. Because the entire Christian narrative continually revolves around these ideas of what Jesus has already done.

[01:06:17]How he is supposedly already won. And they can say all of this with a straight face without acknowledging any reality of the world in which we live. They will talk to you like Jesus won. He finished it on the cross. Like he defeated evil.

[01:06:32]He defeated death. Okay.

[01:06:34]And yet, we keep dying. And yet, evil [ __ ] keeps happening.

[01:06:39]And the world really hasn't changed societally speaking from the time that Jesus died. I mean, the world is very different in from in terms of technology.

[01:06:50]And there are some things that are societally better, like we got rid of slavery, no thanks to Christianity. But, you know, we have improved as a society, but we still have [ __ ] out there. We still have horrible people. We still have genocides that happen. We still have abuses that happen. We still have horrible tragedies that take place between people and somehow you're supposed to feel better because Jesus defeated that? Tell that to victims. Tell that to people with PTSD. Tell that to people who have suffered at the hands of others. Look them in the eye and tell them that Jesus killed evil.

[01:07:27]That is so devoid of reality and devoid of logic that people who have any empathy whatsoever would never utter that in a public space. But Christians have no self-awareness. So yes, I think the boys get something profoundly right.

[01:07:49]It just confirms what we've known all along. The human heart is capable of terrible evil and wickedness. Power corrupts fallen people. Amen. Image management hides darkness and no political strongman can ever save this nation or the world. That's just reality 101.

[01:08:11]But here's where Christianity parts ways with the boys. Darkness will not last forever. It's on its way out. Jesus Christ has overcome the world. He said it himself. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world.

[01:08:29]First of all, as I've already covered, he literally doesn't know anything about The Boys. He doesn't know what what they've said or haven't said that that's true or not true because he's acknowledged that he has not and will not watch it. So don't tell me what The Boys got right and what the what The Boys didn't get right. You can't watch a YouTube explainer video or some synop synopsis of it on on a blog post and tell me that you know what The Boys is about. You are full of [ __ ] But then he again repeats this idea that power corrupts even though he literally contradicted that earlier in this video.

[01:09:02]so he keeps flip-flopping on that. I mean, imagine that a devout Christian who cannot be consistent on any moral or intellectual stance.

[01:09:10]Shocking. And then think about how bankrupt his assertion is.

[01:09:18]His own god man was executed.

[01:09:21]The world today is arguably very similar in terms of the proclivities of man, we'll say that, to the time when Jesus was executed. But because he claims or the scriptures claim that Jesus claimed to have won before he died, then we're supposed to take that as um truth?

[01:09:47]Think about this.

[01:09:49]Could you imagine what he would say, what any Christian would say, if I told them the same thing about some other martyr from some other religion?

[01:10:00]Instead of Jesus we're going to have Josie. And Josie was a martyr for Hinduism.

[01:10:07]And you may not know who Josie was. You may not care. You may assume that it was all for naught because a martyr for Hinduism in your eyes is a martyr for falsity.

[01:10:19]But then I point to the Hindu texts and I say, "No, you know that Josie won and Josie defeated evil because Josie said so here in my religious text."

[01:10:32]>> [gasps] >> A Christian would laugh me out of the room. But then they still give you this [ __ ] with no self-awareness whatsoever. He's defeated Satan darkness, and death. And scripture tells us it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

[01:10:51]He's defeated Satan, darkness, and death. So he didn't just defeat evil, he defeated darkness, he defeated death, he defeated Satan. I mean, anytime I hear a Christian who wants to tell me that Satan's out there and Satan's trying to, you know, tempt you and take you off the good path. I'll be like, "No, Jesus defeated Satan. It's already done."

[01:11:12]How is it that they could just talk out of both sides of their mouth with no self-awareness whatsoever? On one hand, you want to tell me that there are evil things in the world and that there's demons and that there's Satan and that they're always trying to get you and they're going to do horrible things to you. But, on the other hand, you want to assert with absolute certainty that Jesus defeated Satan and Jesus [clears throat] defeated death, even though millions of people die every year and billions of people have died since Jesus walked the earth. Death just keeps happening.

[01:11:45]Despite what Christians will tell you, death is the only verified undefeated champion of the world.

[01:11:51]Now, they will tell you, "No, he didn't die." Well, no, he died. Even under your own thought process, he still died. He died and he was resurrected according to that theology, but he still died. We have not a single shred of evidence in antiquity or now to ever verifiably believe that there is a single soul who has ever walked this planet who has not died. And by that, I mean everyone who's I'm not counting anyone who's alive today.

[01:12:24]But, anyone older than 120 or 130 years old, they've all died. All of them.

[01:12:30]We have stories, we have legends, we have mythology cuz that's what this is.

[01:12:34]It's mythology. We have not a single piece of verified evidence that there has ever been a human on this planet older than 130 years old, we'll say, who hasn't died.

[01:12:48]And yet, you want to tell me that Jesus defeated death.

[01:12:51]Jesus defeated Satan. I mean, I agree that Jesus defeated Satan because I defeated Satan. Everyone defeats You know, it's easy to to defeat something that doesn't exist.

[01:13:01]I also I defeated Satan. I defeated Santa. I defeated the Easter Bunny.

[01:13:06]I defeated the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[01:13:08]I've defeated it all fictional characters. I've defeated you know, Daenerys and House Stark. I've defeated everyone. I mean, you can't prove me wrong because they don't exist.

[01:13:19]They're fictional, but Jesus defeated them.

[01:13:23]Sure.

[01:13:25]Political leaders.

[01:13:27]So, maybe the real question is this.

[01:13:31]Have we become so obsessed with identifying the darkness in our enemies that we've overlooked the darkness in ourselves?

[01:13:41]Because the first step toward healing [snorts] humanity is humility. The first step toward freedom and a better world is repentance before God.

[01:13:56]And I think the first step toward hope in our world is recognizing that there's only one true hero, one king who can't be corrupted by money, who can't be blackmailed with videos, one savior who never lies, one shepherd who truly loves his people, and his name is Jesus.

[01:14:20]You know who can never lie? You know who can never be corrupted? You know who is the undefeated hero of the world?

[01:14:29]A fictional character.

[01:14:32]That is the only way to have any person who has ever lived to the age of adulthood and lived a full adult life who has never lied, has won every battle, who is the king of the universe. Yeah, that's called a fairy tale.

[01:14:49]That's called mythology.

[01:14:52]And the sooner that you own up to that, the sooner that you can actually enjoy a richer, more meaningful life living in the real world.

[01:15:04]I don't think that Kirk Cameron is ever going to live or has ever lived in the real world. It's ironic that he refuses to watch The Boys, but he's living in just as much of a fantasy land as The Boys.

[01:15:21]I mean, his world is no more real than the world of Vought Industries and the world of The Seven.

[01:15:29]They are truly epistemologically on the exact same plane.

[01:15:37]Thank you guys for being here. I will put the full link to his wonderful video below. Please feel free to check the whole thing out without my interruptions if you like. I want to give special thanks to my members. You guys are awesome. I want to remind everyone now that I've been live streaming every Tuesday night starting at 5:00 Central.

[01:15:56]So, come to the channel, check out my live stream, uh hang out with us, have a cocktail.

[01:16:03]Uh if you're not of like mind, then you're even more welcome because it's a call-in show. So, I would love to hear your thoughts, your opinions. Hell, at some point, if Yahweh himself would like to interject at any point because he never seems to answer my calls, but maybe he could call in.

[01:16:22]Maybe Jibas could actually get on the line one night and explain why this isn't as much [ __ ] as it sounds like to anyone with a working functional brain.

[01:16:32]I'll be waiting breathlessly for Jibas's call.

[01:16:36]Thank you to everyone. I hope to see you all in future videos, but until I do, lo I say unto you, stay skeptical.
