    @chibisven5 years ago As a recovering evangelical (i promise i' ll never do it again) i can confirm 2 things: 1 everything you covered absolutely happens and 2 those doing your takedown of this movie illustrates the amazing thing about art and criticism though. Art shows more than the author intended and creates a medium for critique and deconstruction without necessarily attacking a person. The teenager who' s watching this video while still going church with their family will now have specific behaviors to notice and steer away from without the critique being pointed towards that teen who likely hasn' t done anything worse than a little incognito mode browsing while mom' s at hergroup"

    @VideoCesar075 years ago Yeah, that has been in line with many of my experiences. Seems like people have not learned their lessons from jim baker and jimmy swaggart. It amazes the one thing that stood out was how you mentioned that if you say the g word or go to church then many of the same churchgoers will categorize you as a good person no matter how you behave. It made my head hurt how often some celebrity or other figure would just say " i thank god. " and people would say " you see! He/she' s a hardcore
    it really is a scam. No taxes, billions of dollars taken from people with practically no benefit to the community but to build churches that rival anything on mtv cribs and living a lavish lifestyle.

    @SalivanHarddin5 years ago Hi, i don' t usually comment on youtube videos but i thought i should on this one.
    first, i stumbled unto your channel a couple of weeks ago that said i wanted to correct you on saying martin luther was a social justice type. He was definitely not and let me explain why. Martin luther, like many of his time, was indeed dismayed by the open corruption of the church, not to mention the popes of his eras fighting actual expansionist wars in italy which wasn' t okay to say the least. However his split from the church wasn' t just because of that, but more on theological grounds which as i' ll demonstrate later, were quite godawful and gave birth to the very type of faith you' ve been criticizing in your videos. His arguments and writings would lead to cementing secular power over church power which would be good in principle if it weren' t for one major problem: his view of total obedience to secular authority which at the time lay in the hands of an aristocracy whose claim to power was birthright. This was on full display when in 1525 peasant revolts shook the holy roman empire following famines caused by the little ice age. Martin luther could have supported the peasants who rightfully rose against the taxation and oppression of the german princes who personally were not affected by the famine but instead defended the princes and gave them moral authority to brutally crush the rebellion. Martin luther showed that he supported the rich who in turn patronized him and protected him from the pope. He was their propagandist.
    however the most poignant point about him as i said was his theology. He brought into christianity the idea of- that god had already chosen who they' ll save. This is a dangerous idea for the sole reason that it removes moral imperative from individuals. If you are already saved, your actions are meaningless. If you aren' t, then whatever good you do won' t mean anything. In reality our actions in this world become meaningless. Of course mortals couldn' t know who the saved were but martin luther and his ilk tried to find ways tosuch individuals. They believed that success in life could be an indicator of being a chosen one. I' m sure you can see where this is going. Basically the rich and powerful are more likely to bethus morally superior to the rest because of their materialistic success which often came from generational wealth and complete control of the levers of government thanks to the structure of society at the time. Poor people would work hard and be exploited because they believed if their hard work would be rewarded, they may be part of thoseits a horrible way to both guarantee exploitation and justify it. Its horrible, indefensible and a huge contributor to capitalistic mindset. You can literally draw a straight line from those ideas to current capitalistic thought.
    thus martin luther was not really a social reformer so much as a defender of local elites from the church. He was against social mobility by his very theology and defended the powerful in writing against the poor. His only saving grace is the fact that at least he wasn' t as horrible as calvin who agreed with him on many points but believed that a theocracy was needed to make a better place for theto appear and grow up intale) he was also a terrible scholar and was pretty much humiliated in debates by his peers at the time, including erasmus who dismantled each and every argument he made. He truly was the ben shapiro of the era.
    sorry for the wall of text, i very much enjoyed this video and hope to see more of your content (just don' t burn yourself out please! Have a pleasant day
