Yes, and that has been an active discussion amongst Christians for centuries. The history is more complicated than Kyle seems to understand (considering he thinks the Christian idea of giving at Christmas is materialistic). While the early church took the imagery of pagan celebration, stripped away the pagan meaning and replaced it with Christian theology in order to make it easier for foreign cultures to relate to Christianity; this has been looked at by Christians and non-Christians as confusing at the least. But no, they are not actually practicing pagan beliefs. That is a bit anti-historical, even if I agree it is not appropriate.

If they would care or take it as Da TRUTH- there would be no Jews, all would be converted to Christianity a long time ago. The whole point of Judaism is waiting for the "real" Messiah who will do several mircales, including rebuilding the 2nd temple. That tells me Jesus is thought as a fraud and not a messiah, thus the Jews only care about the Old Testament which is basically part from the Torah.

If they want to stab you and you don't want to stab them, they win. It is a nice self-sacrificial idea, but doesn't line up with reality. This idea makes sense in a family, community, and even up to the national level (although not as cleanly as secularists like to pretend) for evolutionary reasons (you want your genes to pass on), but it doesn't hold up at all on the international level. Historically, the evil people who killed proactively were the successful ones who passed on their genes (and looking at what we did in the Middle East, south America, etc. it is still a very effective way of staying on top. I don't respect this idea as a basis for morality because it only works in very specific hypotheticals but not as a general rule. The world has historically been horrible. I think you and Kyle miss this point. You can easily point to any group of people throughout time and find the evil things they have done whether they were Christian or not (because all people are evil). But this is a straw man. Any Christian or atheist who claims Christians are better morally because they claim to be Christian is ill-informed or outright lying. But those who follow Christian teaching will make their communities a better place to live (not their own lives, other people's lives). This is a sleight of hand that Kyle tried to pull off badly. Those "secular" countries that he is talking about, follow Christian moral teachings, even when they do not believe those teachings themselves. Yes, on paper, they may seem more secular than the old European countries that claimed to be Christian, but in practice, they are still following Christian teachings. Yet, while they practice those beliefs, they still ally themselves with more powerful countries that do evil things for their own protection, because while the self-sacrificial mentality is nice, it is not rationally speaking a strong survival strategy.

Ben Shapiro: "When you have a civilization that does promote virtue, capitalism can thrive." Timothy 6 : 18 "Tell them to use their money to lobby for more tax cuts for the rich and deregulation. They should be rich in yachts and private jets, and generous with their demands for more money in their megachurches, always being ready to complain that the poors are just lazy and need to git gud." Matthrew 21 : 12-13 "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them who protested the selling and buying in the temple, and approached Trump who was selling Trump-branded bibles for his own gain, and said unto him, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; and ye have answered. Praise be to Trump, the chosen one, whose principles verily and clearly align with my teachings."

What about the Inquisition? Why did the Church ally with Hitler in WW2 and help Nazi war criminals escape? Why has the pedophile priest scandal still not been resolved after literally decades? If the Church can't get something as basic as the subject of child abuse, the sun being the center of solar system, or Hitler correct, should we really think of them as "the foundation of progress"?

As a shaman I will stress the importance of atheistism, religious pride and cruelty makes it necessary that there be people willing to reject the faith for the greater good, to the universe it is more important for people to be good than it is for the universe to be worshipped, in the end it may be a cynical outlook but if you cannot have good and faith then faith should be rejected for good, the universe is ultimate wisdom so if the Christians the Jewish and the Muslim people must be removed to ensure the good inside of humanity that will be chosen! So to this i challenge the religious people to choose the path of love good and tolerances or risk the universe itself or to you god himself rejecting your faith not rejecting you but rejecting your faith! Also Ben talking of destroying god is a sin and an impossibility, god is the universe good luck destroying thatsomething that big and untouchable!

A LOT of Christmas traditions are based in Paganism. It was Christians saying "Hey Pagans! You have some Solstice rituals. Well, guess what. Us too!" Same with Easter. It's Spring rituals. "Hey, guess who was risen from the dead just like all the things that come back to life in Spring?" Personally, I'm a secular Christian. I believe there was a Jesus type person in history who was a rebel. Like one day he said *There's a lot more of us. Why are we letting them make us fight lions for their entertainment?"

So, mostly non-believers, you'd think that if we believe Ben our country would be a dystopian hellscape with only powerhungry narcissists, or wait.. "In the same week the report declaring the country to be agnostic/atheist was released, the United Nation’s World’s Happiness Report was also issued. With more non-believers than believers, the Netherlands still ranked #5 happiest country in the world." (I had a link here for reference to the news article where I quoted from, but apparently the YT bot sees that as spam and instantly deletes the comment. Google quotes for full article: Majority of Dutch people are now agnostic or atheist - The Holland Times) I really pity American atheists who have to put up with so much religious nonsense in their politics, it's insanity that in the year 2024 we still have 'adults' believing in a supreme imaginary friend and 2000 year old fairytales..

Paganus is Latin. It means the rural folk. Christianity spread in the cities first. If you think about it, Christians were the new urban liberal ‘woke’ religion, and once they took over the Empire, any hold outs were held in severe derision. Pagan came to mean polytheistic in a ‘deplorable’ sort of way. Today Christianity is in the same position that ‘Pagans’ once found themselves as young people leave church and search for new moral authorities to follow.

17:12 one thing I also keep noticing with them using the USSR as an example is that they seem to think it just sprung up from nothing. The USSR was a continuation of the Russian empire. Locking people up in forced labor camps was something the tsars had been doing for centuries. The trans-Siberian railroad was largely build by prisoners who were forced to work. Oppressing the Ukrainians and stealing their food is also something the Russian empire had been doing for centuries. Most of his critics called Stalin the 'Red Tsar' and that description is very accurate. He pretty much was a tsar and did all the things the tsars did just under a different excuse.

Great Britain is an example of how secularists and theologists mix well. Secularism will always allow the religion to be around and never force anyone to not be, very rarely will you see any religious people in GB argue against people having equal opportunity based on who you inherently are, now we're a progressive society (an encouraging change towards society regardless of belief). However when you have multiple theologies mix in society like Muslims not wanting to assimilate to British society and/ or respect British culture, and openly say they want to enforce sharia law in the UK, that's when you clearly see a theological society doesn't work. It has never worked. You can probably make the case that the British abolished slavery because of Liberal principles that was also introduced into England around the same time as the Age of Enlightment. Theologies at any opportunity will want to take control of PEOPLE, especially using America as an example. When you have every educated person be against Gender ideology, we can easily disprove it with facts, logic and truth based on science. Then you have right wing political grifters who then try to impose Christianity onto everyone else. One recently was when Lauren Chen said anyone who isn't Christian and gets married, is committing Sin.... which is a dangerous rhetoric to push. It implies they created morality, which is impossible because morality is a measurement of good and bad deed or thought. They think just because they discovered the concept that they own it, whether that's marriage or mortality. When you still have people like Matt Walsh say gays shouldn't be able to get married, then Joe Rogan defending gay marriage against him because he's a true liberal in the sense of freedom and liberty for all. I've been liberal all my life and the recent crazy far left ideological doesn't push me to the right, it just means they pushed them selves further left and then when conservatives also argue it but on the grounds of theology and god instead of science it really starts to show anti freedom they WANT to be. Church must always be separate from state and that's what's its been like in GB for a very long time but in America... you have the conservatives passing hate speech laws expanding the definition of Antisemitism because of some college protests, which then goes against Christianity, making these religious right wing political grifters mad. Right wing commentator grifters = we don't care about the right of freedom to protest until it affects out theology. US Politicians = it doesn't matter as long as Israel keeps paying us. Also it was really great when they let Jesus say whatever he wanted and not murder him or when a woman refused being a witch and her word was enough to get her out of being burned alive or drowned, or when people today appose children in Islam being r*ped and married at the age of 12.... yano the historical religious free speech.
