As someone with a chronic pain condition who is currently lying on a couch and would have trouble sitting up for a long conversation, just like Lydia, I really appreciate Paul pushing back against the jerks who mocked her for it. I would have thought it was obvious that she had a health issue.

I watched this in bed in a darkened room because I too have a chronic pain condition. I hope Dr McGrew has many more great days than bad ones.

"The minimalist argument is making too many assumptions, so lets go with an argument with even MORE assumptions!"

Paulogia: The Monster
Damn dude, you're living rent free in these people's heads.
Keep being the gadfly. You're clearly getting to them.

Stunning how Lydia McGrew is so good at being a skeptic of the argument she doesn’t like, the minimal facts argument. Then turns around and accepts an even worse argument as some great argument. I guess that is sort of how a Christian an so easily deconstruct Muslim apologetics, then present their own as some grand revelation. I’ve heard of “blind spots”, but, sheesh!

[MarkAhlquist]

When they argue among themselves about how convincing this all is, that's proof it is not convincing.

[misterdeity]

Love the pull out to reveal the entire studio! Very clever. And probably a lot of work! Just so you know, someone appreciated it! 👍🏽

[MrSpleenface]

This video gave me whiplash. To hear someone so thoroughly and honestly respond to the minimal facts, I thought quite highly of Dr. McGrew. Then she turned around and was like “we should espouse even less well evidenced beliefs, and it’s not begging the question because I defined the scope of my question narrowly!”

[paulwignall]

Another great video.

Side note: I am bothered by all these apologists maiming your handle. They literally INVENTED the word "apologetics". To think they don't understand how to pronounce your name is such a stretch. I fully believe they are being condescending and it is frustrating.

[scottduke]

I don't really have a question. I just appreciate what you do!

[lnsflare]

"How do you pronounce the name of this guy who clearly pronounces his name in every video?"

[hnnymn]

My first comment on this channel! Here goes:

Does anyone else think that the Christian apologists make themselves look bad (small/petty) when they disrespect Paulogia by mispronouncing the channel's name (or pretending to struggle with it), considering that:
a) it's easy to pronounce; and
b) Paul pronounces it clearly near the beginning of virtually _every_ video?

Of course, another possibility is that they haven't watched any of the Paulogia commentary, but that doesn't reflect very well on them either.

[zackglenn]

Once again thinking about how people's inability to get your name right reflects on them as interlocutors.

[MythVisionPodcast]

There is more honesty in the minimal facts approach but even this fails. Great video as always Paul.

[rumrunner]

Great video, as always!
I'd love to see more on Biblical canon and how arbitrary it is and how it has changed over the years and from church to Church. Like how the Shepherd of Hermas kinda fell out of canon and how Martin Luther came so close to removing Revelation.
Whenever a street preacher tries to talk to me I ask if the Bible is the word of God and when they say yes I ask "which one?" and list the various canons, including the Ethiopian canon which has the Book of Enoch which is quoted in Jude 14-15. Yet, Enoch appears in no other canon. So either Jude has to be exacto-knifed out or Enoch has to be added.
I have never met a street preacher who could answer that question.
Anyway, love you channel!

HOW DO THEY STILL NOT KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE THIS

[Twentydragon]

2:15 - I'm sorry to hear about Dr. McGrew's condition. I hope she's able to manage it well and maybe even eventually recover!

[masongalioth]

😆 It must be a little awkward when Lydia tells all the apologists and christians who attempt to dodge and ignore Paulogia, that they need to listen to Paulogia.

[aitken]

It's Paulogia, as in "apologetics" or more to the point 'apaulogetics'. They deliberately mispronounce the name of the channel to make it seem like the channel is trivial, when it's obviously having a huge impact on them and their adhereants.

[colinstreicher]

As someone raised Mennonite in Ontario, and later found my way out, I feel like I relate to your story to some degree. However, I don't know if I would have had the strength of conviction you did to follow your path.
In any event, I've watched all of your videos at least once and many of them multiple times. I think you set a great example of treating people on the internet with respect, and it makes any video you put out an immediate watch for me.
