A huge thank you to everyone who lent me their voices for this animation, especially ShannonQ, who did an amazing job with very little directing. Please check out their channels. Links below. Also, since this animation took me 2 months to create, I had to go a long time without uploading anything, which really hurts my channel. Perhaps I will find a better way to do things, but for now, if you enjoy my work, please consider helping my channel recover by sharing this video or becoming a patron or YouTube member. Thanks!

I'm sorry I couldn't upload a regular video or animation this month. There were extenuating circumstances, including getting very sick for a long while (not covid). I'm nearly fully recovered as of writing this, so I plan to get back to work in April. Thanks for your patience. I still have much to say, and I didn't want to leave March without any content whatsoever (I always upload at least once a month), so I prepared this audio-only speech that expresses a lot of things I wanted to say. I hope it finds you well and interests you for at least its 20-minute length. Thanks, everyone!
Digital Hammurabi wrote "The Atheist Handbook to the Old Testament, Volume 1" which also has an entire chapter about this topic, called "Did the Old Testament Plagiarize". You can get it here: tinyurl.com/4hesd4tx

It was a TON of work, so I hope it was worth it and that you thoroughly enjoy it. If you do, please help me by liking and sharing it so that my work is not in vain and I’ll be more likely to do more stuff like this in the future (and if you’d really like to help, please consider becoming a supporter via patreon, YouTube membership, or subscribestar). Thanks!
A huge thank you to my good friends who lent me their voices for this animation. They’re all excellent intelligent people. These are their channels:

I dedicate this video to my wife, who helps take care of the sick and dying. Our world's ignorance burdens her with frustrations most of us cannot imagine, borne of the tangible consequences that play out in cold rooms beyond the view of our comfortable mundane routines.

This is how that argument came to be. This video was inspired by a much longer & more serious response video I made on my alt channel, DarkAntics, called "Why God Plays Hide & Seek" here: youtu.be/Xy47N0TXDqg

This video is one attempt to do that. If you would like to bid on the original artwork I created during this video, it is on Ebay for one week with an opening bid of one dollar.

How did it affect Him? How will it affect our world, the simulation? This episode (which is the 19th) marks a major turning point and there will only be a few more after this. I'm still working on the book, so that will be coming once the animated series is done. I hope you will find the end of this series unexpected yet satisfying. Check out the Power Corrupts playlist linked below if you'd like to see the past episodes. Also, thank you very much to those of you who have supported my work at any level. I know a little for some is a lot for others, so I really do appreciate it all.

I didn't expect that when I began. I thought it would be more like the offline world, and that I would be hated for arguing against religion. I never expected an audience, but it happened. I've been around a long time. People who are adults today grew up watching my animations when they were children. I'm their Tom & Jerry, their Flintstones. That feels strange, but times change. Youtube went mainstream, and the religions found it. Now the online world looks more like the offline world, with huge religious channels popping up and having an easy time with a readymade audience and funding. I guess I’m still considered a relatively large channel, and I want to keep it growing so that it can compete with all the religious garbage out there. That requires a lot of time on my part, and ads and Patreon have been pretty stagnant, so I’m trying these YouTube memberships to see if they help. In the future, I may do some shirt designs, and of course there will be my Power Corrupts book. I’ll also provide updates on that to members. When Power Corrupts is over, I think I'd like to start a new series, one that's more structured and scheduled. That’s all. If you can become a member of the channel, that’s awesome. It would really help me out. If not, I understand. No hard feelings. Times are rough for a lot of folks. Take care, everyone.God VS AbortionDarkMatter25252021-02-22 | Many people who are "pro-life" justify their opinion by using the bible, but there couldn't be a worse way to do it. Not only does the bible never forbid or condemn abortion, but in many cases it actively advocates it - and far worse.
Please consider becoming a patron to support this channel. Revenue from posting one animation a month just isn't enough, but Patreon really helps. Thanks.

Well wonder no more! For my next animation, I'm planning to do another bible debunk that deals with a popular social topic a lot of people get wrong. Thanks very much to everyone who has been supporting the channel. I really appreciate it. In 2021, I've committed to being more active on Patreon. I recently switched to a per month basis instead of per video, and I'm still going to post plenty of updates, early access, sneak peeks, ideas, etc.
#DarkMatter2525How To Be Like GodDarkMatter25252020-12-25 | Life can throw some challenging obstacles at us, and at times like those, it’s always helpful to consider how the ancient Near Eastern war deity from the bible would respond. In fact, let’s do that. If a human being made the same choices Yahweh would necessarily be making for the world to exist as we see it now, would we see that human being as a good person - or do we actually hold regular people to much higher standards than God Himself?

Can He endure the brutality of prison as a human, or use His powers to affect the outcome, as He did with Jesus?
My Misc Videos: youtube.com/watch?v=wfjM2xJ6l54&list=PLv--V1yc2QDLNIKWX8DnyRSt3Dnm_xyEQLeft BehindDarkMatter25252020-09-15 | Do not allow or perpetuate the further stigmatization of non-religious people. We've been told that we need religion to survive, but in actuality it's now the opposite. In the modern world, religion hasn't saved the destitute, nor has atheism condemned the prosperous.
Many thanks to Momma Atheist for playing the role of the mother. She is a former astrophysicist who is currently a climate scientist working on ecosystem preservation. Her channel covers a variety of topics, including the religion debate. She’s new to YouTube and very knowledgeable, so let’s elevate her voice. Thanks! Her channel: youtube.com/channel/UCAf2cbItkSXKxueiQOvhEjA
My lifestyle more closely resembles that of a traditional one, minus the religion. I'm a straight white man, a father, happily married, homeowner, taxpayer, etc. I AM NOT oppressed. I AM NOT a victim. I never have been. Nobody cares about my lifestyle. Nobody is trying to take it from me. There's a lot of fear mongering about that, and frankly, it sickens me, because all it does is generate hatred for those whose lifestyles are NOT traditional, and ARE endangered because of bigotry due to who they love, how they identify, or the color of their skin. I don't need everyone to be like me, and neither do you. Stop and think. Who's actually the ones doing the attacking?
As for the rest of you, those who understand, and those who have supported my channel with your generosity, I really appreciate you.

Special thanks to ShannonQ for playing the role of Lucy in disguise as the mysterious cyborg. Shannon promotes positive discourse, and uses her education in psychology to explore the intersection of psychology and faith. She exposes the harmful and predatory nature of Christian counseling, and how it undermines helpful medical treatment in favor of scams that prey upon vulnerable of people who need real help. She really needs our help to elevate her voice, so please subscribe to her channel, check out her work, and share it around. It would mean a lot to me, but more importantly, it could help save people from being scammed at their lowest moments.

Such evidence would point toward a universal truth, an omnipresent God, but as we well know, God suspiciously obeys man made borders and does not reveal Himself until men arrive with books first.
