BTW, I am a devout Christian. Evangelical I guess. Devout.

I don't know this guy but I like the questions he asks...because I believe I know the answers.

This guy is brilliant, but he keeps asking for a force to civilize us...to give us THE LAW that makes sense of all this reality.

He doesn't seem to realize that he is asking for God.

That said, I am not entirely finished with this video.

Well, his first giveaway was admitting he was a fan of Niche... (atheist philosopher)

His questions so far suggest to me that he is still an atheist, but not willing to ignore some obvious mysteries.

This is from the text intro on the video:

“I describe what I consider to be the idea of God, which is at least partly the notion of sovereignty and power, divorced from any concrete sovereign or particular, individual person of power...”

*** He literally reduces the existence of God to an idea.

continuing from intro:
“ I also suggest that God, as Father, is something akin to the spirit or pattern inherent in the human hierarchy of authority, which is based in turn on the dominance hierarchies characterizing animals.”

*** So we believe in God much like animals generally adhere to a pack mentality which is ruled by an alpha male.

Wow.
