1. Who the hell is this guy and what is he talking about?

I hate "selfie" videos unless they are topics I actually enjoy seeing, like cats and kittens.

2. Brent Terhune is good people

He's a liberal comedian who plays a MAGAt.

As to what he's talking about...you did notice there was a church in the background? What he's describing is pretty much a standard Catholic Mass.

Many parents will welcome such a book. Some others, I have no doubt, will accuse us of “brainwashing” or “indoctrinating” children rather than letting them learn things for themselves.

Here’s our response to them: “So what? What’s wrong with indoctrinating children?”

In a sense, one can rightfully respond to the charge of indoctrination by turning the argument back on the atheist. If a child is raised in a household where religious belief is mocked and ridiculed, the likelihood of the child approaching the topic with an open mind is significantly reduced, if not eliminated altogether.

Religion inculcates and indoctrinates through it's rejection of doubt, thus embracing delusion.

Mythology educates and liberates through it's embrace of doubt, thus embracing reason.

There is no reason in the absence of doubt.

May reason rule.

6. I have a problem with this statement, "There is no reason, in the absence of doubt."

You really need to remove that comma!

There is no reason in the absence of doubt.

There, fixed it for you.

4. Sheer excellence in video pull-back-and-reveal.

I love this guy's videos and his style of ironic satire as profundity.

5. The death of satire...

It is getting difficult for sites like The Onion and artists like Terhune to actually do things that are distinguishable from what an actual Trump/MAGA/Conservative acts like on a regular basis. If I didn't know who Terhune was, I could have easily taken this for some wing nut ranting on Twitter.

7. Give me a child until he is 6,7,8,9... and he is mine for life.
