Prophet of Zod | Inspiring Philosophy's Unrealistic Expectations for Proving Christianity is Dangerous @ProphetofZod | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
How do you determine whether Christianity is dangerous? That’s a big, complicated question involving a lot of factors - including which forms of “Christianity” you’re talking about, the kinds of thought processes Christianity trains people in, and whether the faith has reliable mechanisms for steering believers toward positive behavior. Inspiring Philosophy's take on it seems more straightforward than that, focusing on a (vaguely defined) "true" Christianity and disavowing the faith of multiple versions he considers "false" Christianity. And in the clip we're looking at today, he lays out the process he claims a person should have to go through to demonstrate that Christianity is dangerous.
In this video, I'm going to explain why this process is inadequate and doesn't even address the idea of "danger" in any meaningful way. In the two videos following this, I'll look at his claim that Christianity doesn't cause Christian nationalism - a claim that doesn't explicitly draw on the process laid out here, but benefits from its rigidity and its implied demand that people prove the "true" Christianity causes "horrible" effects.
