I went to a religious college - religion courses were required, where we studied NT origins and some of the splinter groups of the early church. It was really interesting, but I have to say that some people went into that with what they would consider a "strong faith" and left as an atheist or at least having much weaker faith (provided they paid attention and thought about it). There are always a few that are capable of ignoring everything and they would probably say their faith was stronger. Personally I know a couple of people who were on the seminary track and ended up not believing at all, once they realized just how shaky the foundations of the faith really were. In order to buy into modern dogma, you have to believe that a very long series of arbitrarily made decisions based on zero evidence, going back 2000 years, were all correct. Sure they were.

Thank you for your interesting discussion. I was raised in fundamentalist Christian and New Age churches. At a fairly early age like 6 or 7, i knew i didn't really have faith. I had no idea how it even felt to have it. Somehow i developed a rather vague notion that if i just kept looking through the Bible, one day i would discover a "magical" verse that, like "abracadabra" said by a magician, would like a "key" open a "door" or "window" in my "heart", into which "real faith" would enter, maybe a "ladder" made out of puffy white clouds would descend from the heavens along with one or more angels, unicorns, fairies, etc., shimmering, sparkling golden, silvery, and iridescent spiritual jewels. Then i would KNOW by "faith" beyond all doubt that the Bible is "true". Year after year i kept looking through the Bible, reading parts of it, and having "faith" that religious "faith" would happen. And it never did. I always wondered how other people got THEIR "faith", but i was too shy to ask, and even my mother didn't seem to want to talk about it. That was so long ago. It's why i enjoy videos like this so much!

Thank you!

I’d like to comment on the sexual repression in Christianity and how it affects succeeding generations. My mother was raised in a very strict and puritanical church. She was taught that sex is a sin and the body is to be ashamed of. She didn’t raise my siblings and me as Christian, as she was totally turned off by the cruel and punishing “white man in the sky”, and no less by God’s supposed “son”. However the purity culture never left her, and consequently we were taught to believe the same as she: that sex is a sin and the body is to be ashamed of. I’m in my 60s and still dealing with that horrible indoctrination. Thankfully I raised my children to be open and loving individuals who don’t carry bodily or sexual shame.

Those missions trips can do damage.

Yes, I can relate to the difference between the fundamentalist churches, and the more traditional, liturgical churches. They are seen as evil. I grew up around liturgical churches, not alot of evangelical churches around. They are much different, and take a more integrated approach to faith. And yet, I found that, spending some time at a Bible based church, then stepping back into a liturgical church, I could see how scripture was interwoven in the hymns, the sacraments, the liturgy, etc. It made sense.

I never believed for one simple reason...My parents had more respect for me than to teach me things they could only pretend to know! That was extremely rare in 1949! Here in 2023 it's the rule, not the exception! The babymakers of today understand that believers are manufactured by other believers! That makes faith a suckers bet! Your age of reason will never come without your participation...By age 7, reason and logic become more difficult to ignore! The truth will prevail as willful ignorance and wishful thinking take their place in history! How do you like me so far?

Creating the light at different stages just sounds like when they say god planted the fossils to test the faith.

This world is full of half-baked Christians. You can’t know God with head knowledge. You can read all the books in the world and half all the degrees about God and still don’t know Him. Listen guys!

By what authority are fringe protestant groups Christianity ? Almost every single Christian is either Catholic or Orthodox. The scientific method originates from the monasteries, Francis Bacon, René Descartes and Isaac Newton, if we did not believe the world is strictly ordered by law/design, then why would we ever take mathematics from paper and apply it to reality ? As a Catholic we hold the belief that the main evidence for God is found in his creation (beauty, natural law, ordered by nature, conscience, religious impulse). As such we believe in creation by God (not creationism, we have freedom to choose which is most convincing within certain parameters). Evolution is typically accepted, we are bound to follow Truth and what is to be found in nature as all of this would be God's design. No matter how good evidence is for either belief or non-belief, people would still fall into two camps. Even in the Bible you see the "chosen people" stray into different forms of spirituality at the drop of a hat. Note: I am only a layman, my fields are computer science and mathematics, not theology and/or philosophy. English is not my native language.

It seems that these christian colleges that I hear about on Tim's channel do not provide any sort of comprehensive education. I am boggled by how you can go out into the world with a fraction of an education and negotiate it successfully. It seems like these schools cripple people intellectually and even spiritually. Those who do break out appear to be uncommonly intelligent and thoughtful. The secular world is enriched by these individuals.

I recently discovered that the churches I went to in high school and college in the 1960s have since dropped the “Baptist” from their names! I hope that means they fled the fundamentalism and nationalism common among Baptist churches.

I had a neighbor who screamed “Jesus” all the time. I asked her one day to explain Isaiah 43:11 I quoted it to her, she had no answer, got mad at me and as a “fine Christian woman” has been rude to me since. There are so many inconsistencies from chapter to chapter. Our spirit is us, we choose to be good or bad. Have you ever looked at how miserable Christians look? The only ones who look truly happy are the Joel Olsteen, Benny Hinns who are filthy rich from the weakness of those who believe their deceptions. The Hindus make more sense, I listen to Sanghguru alot and he puts it all in perspective and again, it comes back to each of us as to how we live and love through our spirituality.

I don't know whether he was doing it to smooth the conversation, fill in gaps or what but as an interviewer I found he kept putting words in the mouth of his guest by making commentary and interpretations based on his own experiences rather than letting his guest speak and rather than letting his guest tell his own story. Doing what he did assumes Tim knows everything Patrick thinks and that there is only one way this could be understood or experienced. It's either very bad technique or very self centered. Maybe both.
