What do you think of what he says in this clip ?

Theland - // Good entertainment, but of no particular value. //

Pretty much my reaction to every Christian I have heard talking about faith.

Then investigate it yourself. You may find it enlightening.

If that was aimed at me - I have … I didn't.

Just how would one do that?

Nailit - Theland is exactly the standard type of Christian, faintly patronising and hand-wringing about the fact that he has 'the answer' and you, and I, and any other non-Christians, are lacking as human beings because we don't'.

Hand in hand with that position is the attitude that you and I don't know any better - and we are simply ignorant and need someone with greater wisdom (guess who!) to point out the error of our ways, and educate us into thinking the Christian way.

I don't know about you, but at sixty-four, I am well beyond being patronised by anyone, anywhere about anything - and Theland and his views fit right into that approach.

A-H
It would seem that one would have to become a scholar in not only biblical exegesis but also in original Greek and Hebrew to fully understand what God requires of us.

[Theland]

Andy, Nailit, my apologies if you think I am patronising. Not so.
Just a discussion and exchange of views. Respectfully.

I can't be sure there's no Father Christmas.
