YouTube and Podcasts
Do you have any channels you regularly watch on YouTube? & Do you listen to any podcasts?I tend to listen to YouTube videos while I work from home and do chores, more than watch, so I'm lumping them together. I go in cycles

I don't what his childhood/youth looked like precisely, I gathered from the collaborations he did with Brenda and with Jaclyn Glenn that he was brought up in some unhealthy Mormon setting so, I understand what made him turn away. (Also Mormons are not Christians btw - not that that makes it any more or less bad but there's this weirdly blurred imagine in the U.S. because of politics and voting.) As for being derisive - yeah, I mean, I can overlook that to some degree until Atheists make it their mission to call everything about my religion rubbish and tell me I shouldn't have one. I have a friend like that (here on LJ). It really grates on my nerves. I think it's live and let live.
calling out the fundies
Like I said, I could see his point up to a point but now it's just a bit stale, you know? Mainly because I'm not sure who is listening except for people who already think the same way he is thinking and well maybe the other side but not to be convinced of his arguments but to get into some online fight. I don't think that anything constructive can come from it.
RE: Fundie Fridays - oh, I haven't watched the Christmas series or the videos about all the quiverfull families - it's too much for me. I don't have the nerve for that tbh. Like I said, I watched the one on Jerry Falwell Sr/The Moral Majority, then the one on his son and the Liberty University scandal, the one about Christian Colleges and the accreditation process, the whole scam about the Creationist Theme Park (that's how I landed there actually because dw.com had done a piece on that).
Yeah, I like Brenda a lot. I mean we come from different backgrounds and her guests and concerns are often too U.S. centric for me but I think her heart is in the right place.
