Sounds to me like he is saying he has no purpose. An ordained minister for a lack of the Divine....

The Bible does say, “Only a fool has said in his heart that there is no God.”

Dude seems lost. And he spent 14 minutes or so seeking validation for it, and tryin’ to convince other folks to be lost too.

His journey took him from evangelical fundamentalist minister to atheist. Now, for him, God no longer exists. It will be interesting what he discovers before this is all over.

Didn't watch/listen to the whole thing, but in fairness at the outset he says he used to believe in God and used to be an ordained minister.
His testimony would seem to cast doubt on the doctrine of once saved, always saved. Could be he was never really a Christian to begin with. He seems to enjoy being the center of attention, though.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

He actually made a lot more sense than the fairy tales I learned in Sunday school.
Thanks for that video Jag. One of the more believable you’ve posted lately.

I knew it. That dumbassed Trump and Flynn. Freaking goifball believers to actully be stupid enough to believe we have God given rights. Sheesh. No wonder Trump keeps getting suckered into hiring those who mean to do us in. Flynn is just as bad. I bet Trump trys to get him back in like Flynn if they get the charges dropped. Then we will have another dumbass getting Trump in trouble. https://www.westernjournal.com/exclusive-gen-flynn-letter-america/

I understand the problems that arise when people are given Sunday school answers and explanations and rebuttals to real world questions and discussions. Some believers discredit Christianity when they demand that things are a certain way (literal creation per Genesis, for example), even though we have FACTUAL evidence otherwise. I see no problem with believing in God...and in particular trying to follow Jesus’ teachings...while at the same time understanding FACTS and TRUTHS regarding the world in which we live.

I can't explain it but there are quite a few ministers who don't believe in God. Today you'll find them in some of the very liberal denominations. Take a look at the history of the RCC and the Church of England. Very early on, they were political , not religious. Henry VIII started the CofE because the pope wouldn't let him break God's laws and divorce his wife. England spent centuries in combat between the 2 churches, switching back and forth depending on who was on the throne. The entire time, almost none of the church leaders on either side were Christians. You can prove that by their actions.

I am sure along the way he will be shown how wrong he is. As a shaman, I spent a good deal of time rubbing elbows with ministers talking shop. Some were fairly close friends. Most believed in God, and some did not. How can this be? Well, some felt they were more there to be the equivalent of social workers. Some looked at it as a cafeteria plan: If somebody wanted you to pray for them, you shared a prayer with them. If they needed a buddy, you were a buddy. If you needed free counseling. . . etc. It takes all kinds to make a world. Honestly, I've seen congregations with ministers like that, and some really felt they were being well served. There are a lot of congregations out there that really only want to pay lip service to Divinity. My read on this guy is that someone somewhere must have really kicked his puppy and he started coming up with all sorts of excuses why he didn't believe in God as a result. Now he wants to piss in the campfire and tell everyone to go home.
