What REALLY Happened at the Largest Satanic Gathering Ever

Here we debunk the fake stories and reports about SatanCon 2023 in Boston. Conservative / right wing media like Fox News, the DailyWire, and figures like Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Oli London, and Sean Feucht are exaggerating or lying about the convention and the Satanic Temple in general. Here Taylor and I correct the misinformation that has arisen since SatanCon happened. We focus on Chalice Blythe’s Bible tearing, Christian evangelists’ lies about making converts, Lucean Greaves’ interview on Fox News, and Oli London’s misrepresentation of Baphomet and trans issues. -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Equipment to help the channel: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AXW6872WR436?ref_=wl_share Dr Bart Ehrman courses (affiliate links): “Other Virgin Births”: https://ehrman.thrivecart.com/other-virgin-births/?affiliate=gmskeptic “The Unknown Gospels” https://ehrman.thrivecart.com/unknown-gospels/?affiliate=gmskeptic “Did the Resurrection of Jesus Really Happen?” https://www.bartehrman.com/did-the-resurrection-of-jesus-really-happen-bart-ehrman-mike-licona-debate/?affiliate=gmskeptic “Did the Christmas Story Really Happen?” https://www.bartehrman.com/did-the-christmas-story-really-happen-webinar/?affiliate=gmskeptic -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ -------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ Source on trans minors: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-data/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

Ben Shapiro Catches Himself Agreeing with Satanism

Ben Shaprio has a weird connection to the Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey. They’re not connected by affiliation or symbolism, but by their political principles (especially their fondness of Ayn Rand). In his response to the Sam Smith / Kim Petras Grammy’s performance, Shapiro spoke about Satanism’s foundation in Romantic era literature. He greatly misrepresented Percy Shelley and the Satan of the Romantics, and I think this was not only intentional, but necessary to maintain Shapiro and the DailyWire’s apparent distance from Satanism. -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Equipment to help the channel: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AXW6872WR436?ref_=wl_share Dr Bart Ehrman courses (affiliate links): “Other Virgin Births”: https://ehrman.thrivecart.com/other-virgin-births/?affiliate=gmskeptic “The Unknown Gospels” https://ehrman.thrivecart.com/unknown-gospels/?affiliate=gmskeptic “Did the Resurrection of Jesus Really Happen?” https://www.bartehrman.com/did-the-resurrection-of-jesus-really-happen-bart-ehrman-mike-licona-debate/?affiliate=gmskeptic “Did the Christmas Story Really Happen?” https://www.bartehrman.com/did-the-christmas-story-really-happen-webinar/?affiliate=gmskeptic -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ -------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ Sources: Shapiro’s video on Satan https://youtu.be/PYdx02GMoK0 Dailywire acquires Atlas Shrugged https://youtu.be/mgSsnXU0RYY Anton LaVey’s Satanism is most similar to Objectivism https://www.churchofsatan.com/satanism-and-objectivism/?amp Anton LaVey and Ayn Rand https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/161976922.pdf Peter Gilmore on Church of Satan’s values https://www.people.vcu.edu/~dbromley/churchofsatanLink.html This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

Graphs of Christianity’s decline in America (and why it WON’T stop)

Pew Research released an article in September 2022 called “Modeling the future of religion in America.” It discusses how Christianity is declining and will continue to decline for the next 50 years. In 2070, Christians will be a minority in the US. Is Christianity dying? Will Chistianity make a comeback? When will the non-religious outnumber Christians? I discuss all of that here by looking at the graphs from the study. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/09/13/modeling-the-future-of-religion-in-america/ If you liked this video, check out Maps and Graphs About Religion in America (That You Need to See) https://youtu.be/zsmsHfOJGC4 Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AXW6872WR436?ref_=wl_share -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ -------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

Jordan Peterson’s weird authoritarian rant

In a strange twist, Jordan Peterson recently argued for church attendance in a rather authoritarian way. In his recent video titled “Article: Message to the Christian Churches,” he said those who refuse to join the church out of ideological disagreement are narcissistic and cynical. “Who cares what you believe?” he asks skeptics. Since his days opposing the Canadian Bill C-16, Peterson has spoken against “leftist authoritarianism,” but now, in defense of traditionalism, he’s using authoritarian rhetoric himself. -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Sources on Bill C-16: https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/LegislativeSummaries/421C16E https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/features/canadas-gender-identity-rights-bill-c-16-explained -------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

The Heretic Who Made Christianity’s First Bible

In Christianity’s first bible, God is evil, Jesus is not the messiah, and there are only 12 books. Marcion of Sinope, one of the most notorious heretics, created the first biblical canon in the 140s CE, hundreds of years before the New Testament was canonized. This is the story of the heretic who invented the bible. Themes here include orthodoxy vs heresy, the canonization of the new testament, Jesus’ parables, the teachings of the apostle Paul, gnosticism, and the work of heresiologists like Tertullian and Irenaeus. ***Check out Dr. Bart Ehrman's course "The Unknown Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John" here:*** https://gmskeptic--ehrman.thrivecart.com/unknown-gospels/ Video where I discuss why the Pastoral Epistles aren’t considered authentic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwohpJU1Tco Writers: Dr. Ian Mills, Drew -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ -------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

“Do atheists exist?” This Christian’s insulting answer

Christian apologist Frank Turek never fails to use overly-literal interpretations of the bible to paint non-Christians as psychologically broken and morally bankrupt. Here I respond to a recent video from Frank Turek’s Cross Examined channel. Drawing from Romans 1, he explains his understanding of the psychology of atheism. It’s… rather insulting. From the unfalsifiable nature of his claims, to his apparent outgroup bias, to the fundamentalist-like literalism of his interpretation of the bible, issues abound in his video. This video isn’t meant to proselytize for atheism, but rather to call for complexity and empathy in interfaith dialogue.

3 Things You Shouldn’t Say to Someone Deconstructing Their Faith

Deconstructing faith is complex. Some popular claims about the deconstruction movement (as well as the process itself) oversimplify it. Why do people deconstruct their faith? What is deconstruction like for those who do? Here I address 3 things believers say about faith deconstruction, hoping to provide clarity on the issue. My experiences don’t represent everyone’s, but they can still provide some perspective to those who do believe. From a former Christian’s perspective, I take on the following statements: “it’s just cool or popular to deconstruct your faith now and that’s why people do it” “Deconstruction is all about your feelings, not truth” “Deconstructing some things is good, but deconstructing other things is not. Go ahead and deconstruct, as long as you stay in the faith” If you liked this video, you might also like: 4 Mistakes Theists Make When Trying to Convert Atheists https://youtu.be/hprmo3CifJ0 -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic -------------------------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

The Female Apostle that Christianity (Purposely) Forgot | Acts of Paul and Thecla

An ancient controversy surrounded a Christian apocryphal book called Acts of Paul and Thecla. While St. Thecla was revered a great deal in the past, she’s become less recognizable among Christians over time. Many know the Apostle Paul and his companions mentioned in the Pastoral Epistles well, and the popularity of those books may have something to do with why Thecla is relatively unknown today. Studying the interaction of these texts reveals a struggle for orthodoxy that many never knew took place. What does Acts of Paul and Thecla say? Are the Pastoral Epistles a forgery? Was Acts of Paul ever considered New Testament canon? This video attempts to answer these questions and more.

How Young Living Created a Religion to Sell Essential Oils

The essential oils cult I almost joined years ago, the multilevel marketing company (MLM) called Young Living Essential Oils, is dying. A new book called My Word Made Flesh, with close ties to its CEO Mary Young, is being called satanic, demonic, and occult by many of Young Living’s Christian distributors. This company has been marketing their products by integrating essential oils into Christian theology and New Thought ideology for years, but they’ve finally pushed this far enough to trigger a backlash. What Gary Young and David Stewart started with Healing Oils of the Bible, God’s Love Manifest in Molecules, and Raindrop technique, Mary Young and Marcella Vonn Harting have taken to its logical next step. Check out The Antibot’s video “Young Living Accused of Being a Satanic Cult” https://youtu.be/5nYrjQQg6Gg ***Clarification here. Young Living did not *technically* release or distribute My Word Made Flesh. As with David Stewart's books, this book was written by *technically* independent persons, then distributed to many of their reps through high-ranking *technically* independent YL reps. YL CEO Mary Young wrote the book’s forward, and there’s a QR code in the book which takes you to a site where you can join Young Living. So did YL have a hand in creating and distributing this book? You decide. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic -------------------------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA
