  1.  E. R.  It must be opposite day where you live. I'm sure what you meant to say is that Christianity is the only coherent worldview, period.

  2.  E. R.  That acidic, pseudo-confidence and flippant attitude towards the subject only reveils your rejection of Christianity is based on personal baggage and not on reason and knowledge. But, I would have known that anyway from your takes, considering that they are those of a historical and philosophical illiterate. Only people who don't know what they're talking about make such claims.

  3.  d b  This is the typical Enlightenment drivel we've come to expect from opponents of Christianity, what you're saying isn't important or new. Again, the low end average life expectancy is due to infant mortality, primarly. Also, even if everyone did die in their 20s, that would've be an argument. People invented the train before the Polio vaccine, and? Does that mean knowledge prior to the invention of the Polio vaccine is invalidated? Obviously not. There are different types of knowledge. Medical and technological knowledge is only one kind. Opponents of Christianity are sawing off the tree branch they're sitting on.

  4. Might as well say "Satano-Christian". It would make just as much sense.

  5.  @Styxhexenhammer666  Judaism as we know it today is the youngest of the world religions, minus maybe Sikhism. Rabbinic Judaism, contemporary Judaism, that is, grew up as reaction to Christianity and has very little to do with Ancient Israelite or 2nd Temple religion. What he's pointing out is that contemporary, Rabbinic Judaism, because it was consciously formed to oppose Christianity, is contrary to Christianity is almost every meaningful way, so to lump them together is about as productive as saying "Islamo-Buddhism".

  6.  @Styxhexenhammer666  Also, if you're refering to Ancient Israelite religion bearing similarities to other Near Eastern worldviews, this doesn't represent any threat to Christianity unless you presuppose disbelief, which is logically illegitimate and circular.

  7.  Brad Sanchez  It is the only worldview that can provide for the necessary transcendental categories to allow knowledge to be possible. All other positions reduce to absurdity. If you want more info, I can point you there. As for it being a "Jewish sect", that statement doesn't make any sense. Judaism as you know it is younger than Christianity and Islam. Rabbinic Judaism, contemporary Judaism, that is, is a mere reaction to Christianity, not an authentic continuation of ancient Israelite religion or of 2nd Temple Judaism.

  8.  E. R.  Not sure how that's relevant at all, but it's not unheard of for opponents of Christianity not to contend at all with what Christians say in any meaningful way. Also, a Wikipedia article isn't going to be deep enough for you to come away with enough knowledge to approach these topics. People spend entire PhD level academic careers on these things, and Wikipedia isn't going to be nearly enough to know what the Hell you're talking about as it relates to this.

  9.  Pat Ashley  Christianity is not like the other "Abrahamic" religions. Your position requires more nuance. The Enlightenment eroded Western Civilization. Christianity is the path of life.

  11.  Omar De Sa 1COMODIN9  Check out "Two Powers in Heaven" by Dr. Michael Heiser if you want a comprehensive look at some of this. Basically, binatarianism/Trinitarianism was a fairly common 2nd Temple era view among Jews, due to the Angel of the Lord passages in the Bible, in which there is clearly a person that is distinct from God (Whom Christians call "The Father") but also is God by nature. These passages are all over the Bible, and they served as a catalyst by which many Jews became Christians. It was only in the 2nd century AD that this binitarian view became prohibited in Rabbinic Judaism, because it was such a strong evidence for Christianity and had such strong biblical support. This is just one instance of how Rabbinic Judaism changed drastically following the destruction if the 2nd Temple in 70 AD, especially as a reaction to Christianity.

  12. Debate Jay Dyer on Orthodox Christianity vs. your worldview. It'd be badass.

  13.  @birdgirl1516  Why not? The imperial guard of Byzantium was composed entirely of Germanic tribesmen from western and northern Europe. The truth is not bound by ethnicity. Christ is the King of the whole universe, not of a handful of countries.

  14.  E. R.  I didn't say you were over confident, I said your confidence is false and not well founded. Also, I didn't make the claim that you'd go to Hell for eternity, it's not my decision to make, it's yours. I do not know how you do choose and will choose to live your life. Hell is the presence of the Living God, who is Life and gives Life, and who will call us out from our graves as He called Lazarus before us. Whether or not his presence will be everlasting joy or pain relative to you as a person, is up to you.

  15.  d b  You do know the average age was so low due to infant mortality, right? People weren't dropping dead in their 20s, many people lived as long as we do today. For one, they had healthier diets and lifestyles than we do today. So much for the Enlightenment, eh? Also, not an argument.

  16.  Omar De Sa 1COMODIN9  Haha, I'm flattered. I probably will start one at some point soon. I'll see if I can find you some stuff on the subject to tie you over. There's plenty of people that talk about this.

  17.  d b  No, you didn't make an argument. Pointing out how the average life expectancy was lower in the past does not refute Christianity. This debate would do you some good: https://youtu.be/anGAazNCfdY

  18.  Pat Ashley  Simply pointing out a shared pattern is not the same proving Christianity invalid. We call this concept in Christianity "Logos spermatikos". The seeds on the truth are found in all the religions, but they find their fulfillment in Christ. The reason Christianity couldn't simply view it's story as exclusively allegorical is because it wasn't like the pagan stories. It wasn't about a far off mythical age and realm that wasn't really meant to be taken literally, it was about real events in real human history. Christ's Incarnation is not pure allegory, it is allegory and real history. The story doesn't make any sense otherwise. As for Christianity making people less literate, that's total nonsense. Western Europe did see a decline in literacy, but it didn't have to do with Christianity. It was due to the collapse of centralized civilization. We know this because, in the Byzantine Empire, the Christian Roman Empire, literacy was higher than anywhere else almost, even among the poor and those in the provinces, due to Church schools.

  19.  Pat Ashley  Many of them were Freemasons and Illuminists, so calling it Luciferian is appropriate.

  21.  @NotOrdinaryInGames  Nick admitted defeat on that one. The history of the Papacy is hard for the Latins to swallow.

  22.  @NotOrdinaryInGames  He did elsewhere, not in the video.

  23.  @hotwingdaddy6066  He has contacted him numerous times. E. Michael Jones has rejected his debate offers because he says theology isn't his field.

  24.  @hotwingdaddy6066  Lol, you're totally right. Jay vs. Styx has already happened before, to some extent, and it would be cool to see in a more formal fashion, though.

  25.  @NotOrdinaryInGames  If I had the time I'd find it for you.
