I was fortunate enough to have been brought up by a Christian-socialist Father and an Atheist Mother, who formed a totally-devoted club of two, to which my brother and I were just about admitted as visiting members. Took the bite out of all that guff wonderfully!

    There is a fundamental flaw in his argument. If God is eternal, then God could have been the basis of the earlier laws he alludes to to try to disprove God.

    He's not trying to disprove God, he's proving that Western Civilization is not based on Christianity.
    Did you even watch the video?

    Yeah, I'm more interested in discussing religion's affect on society with people who aren't so emotionally invested. With religious people, it's just cringy.

    You obviously didn't watch the video if you think that's what he's trying to do in it. He's actually explaining how Western Civilization comes from the Enlightenment, not the Bible or the Catholic Church.

    LOL! Clearly you don't know what the bible says about lies.

    You haven't provided any credible proof of anything, silly Satanist.

    Western civilization cut its teeth in ancient Rome and Greece... The Dark Ages were excessively religious.. Think church sanctioned witch burnings.
