Frank Turek: Lying For Jesus
Reality: Theism vs Atheism - Frank Turek vs David Silverman
Christian apologist Frank Turek (author of I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist) debates atheist spokesman David Silverman (president of the American Atheists) on the topic: Which offers a better explanation for reality--Theism or Atheism? This debate was held on April 18, 2013 at Broadmoor Baptist Church in Shreveport, LA. Silverman couldn't quite keep up to Turek's fast-talking and fast-thinking ways, except by trolling and constantly (and annoyingly) interrupting and filibustering Turek. Turek, on the other hand, was quite patient with David Silverman.

Church of Scientology is above the law
The "Church" of Scientology has always considered itself above the law. It treats it's own workers with callous disregard. It is a matter of world wide interest that horrible living conditions, beatings, assault and battery go unreported to law enforcement.
Child molestation through the years has been covered up. My own son Alexander Jentzsch had sex with 40 year old 2x and this was unreported to Clearwater PD. Other crimes are continuously hidden for sake of "Good Public Relations".
I will be uncovering these crimes and exposing them on this YouTube Channel. The start of this series depicts putting staff and public at risk while the $$$$$ flows up the command lines to "senior management".

Your Argument Is Invalid (with JT Eberhard)
Time and again, we put religious claims under the white hot light of science, reason and the evidence, and almost invariably, those claims dissolve in the face of the facts.
Yet they persist. They continue. They are everywhere.

The doubt essential to faith: Lesley Hazleton
When Lesley Hazleton was writing a biography of Muhammad, she was struck by something: The night he received the revelation of the Koran, according to early accounts, his first reaction was doubt, awe, even fear. And yet this experience became the bedrock of his belief. Hazleton calls for a new appreciation of doubt and questioning as the foundation of faith -- and an end to fundamentalism of all kinds.

And finally, I give a shoutout to a deserving, relative newcomer to YouTube.

Religion: Why it Can Be Hard to Change Your Mind
Even the best of us can be faced with undeniable facts and it's still hard to change a belief. And it's not just the religious who do that. It's the wise man who can recognize the contradictions in his own worldview. But what does he then do about it?
Notes:
This line of thinking was inspired by the wonderful article by Sam Harris entitled "The Fireplace Delusion."

Rappin' for Jesus!
by Pastor & Mrs. Jim Colerick
Letra
Well I wrote this song for the christian youth
I wanna teach kids, the christian truth
If you wanna reach those kids on the street
Then you gotta do a rap, do a hip-hop beat.
I gave my surmon a urban kick
My rhymes are fly, my beats are sick
My crew is big and it keeps getting bigger
That's cuz Jesus Christ is my nigga.
Oooooooo
Hes a life-changer, miracle-arranger
Born to the virgin mom in a manger
Water to wine, hes a drink exchanger
And he died for your sins.
I preach the word, thats my gig
And I rhyme better than Notorious BIG
Other MC's.. I wish them well
But if you live in sin, you burn in hell.
Now I'm a pass the mic to my lovely wife
Shes a fly MC and the light of my life
So to bust a rhyme without further ado
Take it away Mary Sue!
Jesus Christ is my nigga...
Hes the son of the original G
And he was sent to Earth to elucidate the way that we should be.
Whaat??
Liiike if another MC says
"Your a freak!
You're a lame-butt rapper
And your rhymes are weak!"
I don't get mad and I don't critique
I forgive him, and turn the other cheek
I don't blaspheme and I don't brag
I don't cuss, and my pants don't sag
I do exude a little christian swag
And I'm proud to be... an American!
Jesus Christ is our nigga.
Let his light shine through ya!
Let His love pop a cap in your butt and say HALLELUJAH!
Jesus Christ is my nigga.
He's a homie MC JC UC?
He's a honest, caring, peace loving nigga
Like me.
If you do drugs and think your cool
You need to come, to sunday school!
Put those drugs in the garbage can
Stand up tall, you're a christian man!
Worddd up!

Richard Hurst at The Profit
Two Scientologists (including Richard Hurst who later became famous as a "Squirrel Buster") stand by at the set of the movie "The Profit," distributing smear material about the filmmakers. "The Profit" was made in 2000 and was a thinly disguised look at the rise of L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology.
In 2000, Bob Minton funded the making of this film which was a thinly disguised look at the Church of Scientology. Peter Alexander and Patricia Greenway made the film with a budget of $2.5 million dollars. Ultimately it was seen only at one theater in Clearwater, Florida until Anonymous leaked the movie to the net in 2008.

Scientology Non Way to Happiness Part1 Seek to Live with The Truth
The phony "church" of $cientology constantly passes out, gives out, gets their "Way to Happpiness" booklet into schools, businesses, Doctors offices, etc. This Month I'm doing a Series on their Way to Happiness ...what it is and is NOT.
Part 1 deals with "Seek to Live with the Truth".
Note: The basic principles are actually quite fine and common sense. Where it goes off the rails is the majority of $cientologists not only do NOT apply these basic principles, they often do the opposite as I describe in this video.

Neil deGrasse Tyson says America has lost its exploratory compass
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson recalled President John F. Kennedy's famous "We will go to the moon" speech at Rice Stadium and discussed the drivers of exploration, but what he most wanted to talk about at Rice University's 100th commencement ceremony May 11 was Apollo 8.
"It was unheralded but it was the first mission to leave Earth and go somewhere else," Tyson said of the 1968 mission around the moon that prepared NASA -- and humanity -- to land on another world less than a year later.

I Saw a White Light
A man on his death bed feels the sensation of floating over his own body. A woman dies in a freak accident and, before she is revived by physicians, visits Heaven. A teenager barely escapes being killed in a car crash, and the experience changes his perception of life and death.
What do we make of these near-death and after-death accounts? What, exactly, is the "white light" that apparently welcomes us as our heart stops beating? Is there any evidence to support the claims that those who have walked the membrane between life and death have seen into a spiritual plane?
We explore the issue. Plus your calls and emails.

Mormon Endowment Ceremony Footage
There are only two Mormon temples in the world that perform what is known as a "LIVE" endowment ceremony; Salt Lake City and Manti, Utah. This video was filmed in the Salt Lake City Mormon Temple. It was filmed on two occasions in 2011 and 2012.
In place of the movie that is seen in the rest of the temples, volunteer temple workers act out all the roles in the ceremony.
MORMON TEMPLE ENDOWMENT CEREMONY (SLC "LIVE" VERSION w/ Closed Captions)
If you have questions that require personal attention, contact the creator of the video at: NewNameNoah@yahoo.com or you can follow me on Twitter: @NewNameNoah
Donations to continue this effort are appreciated. They may be sent through PayPal to: NewNameNoah@yahoo.com but they are hardly mandatory so save your bitchin' for a cult that REQUIRES your "donations" for salvation. Donations to me are 100% VOLUNTARY.
The comments on this video must be approved before being posted. Unless you have a serious question, and you wish to comment, do so on one of my other videos. This video was made for educational purposes and very few comments will be approved.
(You'll notice that the endowment in this video was done on behalf of a "Preston Burns" but then at the veil the name given was different. Keep in mind, the part of this video filmed at the veil was filmed on a different date however, the "new name" is the same. That's because both visits were made on the 14th of a month. The "new names" are the same on any given day of the month with only 31 mens "new names" and 31 womens "new names". These "New names" are switched around about every ten years.)
VERY special thanks to Larry Greenwood for providing the closed captioning. It is a VERY slow and miserable process. And now, if there are faults in the Closed Captions they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of Larry, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ. ;-)

The Thing God Doesn't Know

If God does know what lust feels like, then He isn't all-good.
Remember that the religion doesn't make the distinction between feeling lust and acting upon it. Knowing the feeling is the same as committing the crime of lust. That's ridiculous, I know, but I didn't invent the religion; I'm just using its weaknesses against it.
