You've got bad enough that someone whose only thought of you is to laugh at you humiliating yourself on the Internet is trying to tell you - Nick you need help you're an alcoholic and it's starting to fuck with your health and your life.

Seriously, I went back 3 years. I really didn't know how bad it was. I know he's nearing 40 or is in his early 40's but this doesn't look like just aging. People are watching this man actively drink himself to death.

Yup.

It's strange that he seems to rail against "easy-believism" and the Assemblies of God just upping their membership by getting people to say the sinner's prayer, even if it doesn't lead to salvation (according to some critics) or at least doesn't lead to healthy disciples who understand their faith beyond the very basics, while at the same time he says God is someone who will passively forgive everything without convicting you about the seriousness of the things you've done that are wrong and unworthy of him.

The Assemblies of God approach meets the specific needs of a whole lot of people at this moment. I didn't understand it for a long time, but there are massive numbers of people out there who don't need deep or intellectual religion. They often need a structure that explains "right and wrong" and the most basic aspects of morality to them. They also usually need to both admit that they have done wrong and to find a forgiveness for it. It doesn't necessarily build faith or reach a point of intellectual salvation. But these people are living often in a morally bankrupt situation where even explaining to them that there is right and wrong can change lives. And it puts them on a road where a salvation is possible. Its not a perfect approach by any means, but it often demonstrates the raw power of the most simple version of the Christian message in people's lives.

People like Nick have a different set of needs typically. Someone like Nick usually needs to find some sort of meaning and purpose in life through religion. To realize the emptiness of hedonism and a life of total selfishness. Something to give his life structure when he is in a situation where he is wealthy enough to meet any material need he might have.

You can't ever really have just one sort of church (IMO) because the needs of people almost require different sorts of churches with different approaches.

Drex, for example. Drex might LOOK black, but that's just his Re-vitiligo showing.

You're aren't wrong exactly, but I will ackshully you on this one, as part of the issue is the old camera washed everything out which smoothed things out and made him look a lot less red.

I'm not sure if that actually strengthens your point or not as one interpretation is that he ALWAYS looked worse and it took a new camera, lens, and fucking with the color correction settings to actually show it...

It's not just him looking red.
It's the wrinkles, the dark rings under his eyes, the baggy, puffy eyes (sign of alcoholism) the bloating nose (alcoholism) the twitchyness, the shaking hands, the way he loses his train of thought, the way he can't articulate his points as well, the man is pickling his brain.
This is more than a new camera.

Nick's understanding of the Bible and the church comes from his very limited personal experience. That is why he doesn't know:

Seems to me that Nick is the one putting too much weight in his basic understanding of Christianity. Likely because he taught Sunday school to teenagers, allegedly using the Bible or at least the book of Titus. Nick was confident enough to criticize the church for not following Christ's ministry and message while making his thoughts on Biblical transgenderism public.

I grew up attending a private religious school ran by a IMO heretical sect. (they had a profit)

Christianity has a wealth of ideas and thoughts but to most church is basically a social and cultural thing.

Its offensive that nick spouts off the way he does because, he tries to speak with authority rather than just leave religion alone, I also think since from childhood he was expected to present himself a certian way thats as deep as it is.

AKA once he broke free he should just not speak his ideas

Atheist? Harsh.

There’s no evidence supporting the atheist cosmology regarding biogenesis and creation. It just sort of grabs some Discovery Channel-tier conjecture and relies on the mysticism inherent in the unknown.

There is no 'atheist cosmology' -- we just acknowledge that we don't know. Pretending we know the answers to these questions is what religious people do. That old God-of-the-gaps fallacy.

I tend to find accounts of faith based on personal revelation or just tradition much more compelling. I believe X because I'm a member of the Y tribe. This is how my wife has always justified her faith to me. "I believe in God because I'm a Catholic. That's how I was raised. Sure, we have doubts, but the church teaches us that we need to put those aside and have faith."

I genuinely like that approach. You're able to get all the benefits of having religious belief and you aren't overly troubled by doubts. It just isn't who I am. My father was an atheist, my mother was a high days and holy days Christian. I stopped believing in God at about the same age that I stopped believing in Santa Claus and I've yet to hear an argument that has come even close to changing my mind about it.

I'll shut up about this now. While I quite enjoy listening to religious people talk about their religion, listening to atheists talk about atheism is complete fucking cancer and should be wiped off the face of the internet.

Claims about the universe and claims about the existence of a deity are two very different things.

I've never seen a fairy. I'm not 'agnostic' about the existance of fairies. Fairies don't exist. Show me compelling evidence to the contrary and I'll change my mind, but until then, I'm an atheist.

Prog core, because venture bros was divinely inspired and it relates to the episode where dean gets his science suit.

That's Speedsuit. Carry on.

Mr. Peacock was an excellent guest.

He's probably the best recurring guest Nick ever had. I get the impression he's also a massive degenerate, but he's funny and not a pseudo-pious hypocritical faggot like Nick's turned out to be.

The problem is, randomness probably doesn’t exist, so it’s not sufficient to explain the creation of all things. The closest thing someone came to proving “randomness” was “We can’t predict the decay of particles” but that’s honestly probably due to lack of information.

We do know that there’s a problem with relativistic physics, see the Kepler Problem. People have tried to patch it, but clearly our math is stuck with some unidentified variables.

Causality and determinism are alive and well, and they preclude the explanation of the formation of the totality of all things coming into existence and forming themselves into meaningful shapes governed by meaningful rules “randomly.”

"we" lol

Dude is on stream in his basement while drinking wine from a milk bottle, and talks about all the dating/hookup apps. No pretense about what he is, just a dude living his best life.

 

[AnOminous]

His theory about God being shocked that Jesus died is also pretty funny and wrong.

So he doesn't even believe in divine omniscience. He may as well just be an atheist because all he seems to believe in is a defective demiurge of some sort.

There's also been a real change even in the kind of facial expressions he makes, like this here:

I'm not sure what even to call that. It's somehow smug and blank at the same time and his eyes look glassy.

His tone also always seems angry and belligerent, not in the being mad to entertain himself and the audience way, but more Ethan Ralphian. Between that and his apparent inability to maintain a train of thought and choices that suggest impaired executive functioning, I really think he's pickled his brain.

Also not sure how often he's doing molly and other substances. There are plenty of weekend warriors who do that with not much harm, but if he's mixing weird shit with alcohol on a regular basis, that has a multiplicatively bad effect.

He is also attributing the deeds of the Pharisees to all of humanity. Jesus wasn't killed by Christians or the Romans but by those who believed themselves too good for Jesus, who wanted God to bring fire and brimstone to the rest of man so they may rule the world. The act of killing Christ it's self doesn't speak about humanity as a whole though it is a lesson for all of humanity. After all this was repeated twice in the Bible before no matter how wicked the time and place God will always spare those who listen. We aren't punished for killing Christ in any way shape or form nor is it a mistake, both because of omniscience and circumstance.

A major difference between fairies and God is that the universe has an as-yet unknown first cause, and "nothing suddenly exploded" isn't really a sufficient explanation. A deity is one among many solutions. Fairies solve no epistemological problem. There's no unexplained phenomenon for which the existence of fairies is required.

Then explain to me why flowers bloom and good men and women get lost in the forest. Check mate fae disbelievers.
