I just saw this - I think it's been out there for a while. If you haven't seen this video before, it's well worth watching. God tapped JP on the shoulder and he is answering that call. I have seen his comedy, but had no idea he could be so thoughtful, serious, & well-spoken.

God hasn't changed his mind about you.

I think JP has realized that.

‘I Changed My Mind About God’

I also changed my mind about God as well; however, in the other direction...I am a skeptic of the first order, and the concept of divinity as handed down I find implausible...

“God tapped JP on the shoulder and he is answering that call.”

Oh, good, I thought it was going to be a repeat of that Rhett & Link business.

“I am a skeptic of the first order”

I doubt that. Everyone takes some things on faith.

For example, you say:

“the concept of divinity as handed down I find implausible...”

So you’ve considered that the “concept of divinity” is handed down but where does your idea of what is plausible or not come from? Are you skeptical about that? Or do you just take it on faith that reason is reliable?

Or as Trey Parker put it:

“Out of all of the wonderfully ridiculous stories about religion, the most ridiculous one of all is, ‘We’re all here, just ‘cause’”

As handed down from who? And what was that specific concept?

“I doubt that. Everyone takes some things on faith.”

Words have meaning. One can be a skeptic and still have faith in something based on experience.

I've watched a few of their videos, I've never disliked anyone so viscerally as I do Link. He actually makes my eye twitch.

Are TexasGator and IrishBrigade the same person? TexasGator has answered twice for Irish Brigade and IrishBrigade hasn’t responded once.

I will accept your word “implausible” for now. Now here’s the thing. Any alternatives to religion would have to be equally implausible. For example, there’s no clean, non-religious explanation for the existence of the Universe. Sure, science says there was a Big Bang. But before that?

As a side note, I find the Gospels to be very convincing. So that’s where I’m at. But maybe that’s a discussion for another thread.
