    I want to start off by saying that I’ve been watching your videos on YouTube and I think you’re doing a great job of taking Christian apologists down a peg or ten! Having been an atheist for quite some time now, I love to see other nonbelievers in deities manning the bulwarks, as it were! Keep it up, Paul! And don’t think that you’re not intelligent, because you are, in your own special unique way!

Research Neuters Habermas’ Resurrection Argument (feat Michael Alter)
Q: Mike, what brought you to your status of Rogue Galleries member for Gary Habermas? What's your origin story?
Alter describes years of studying resurrection apologetics, his move from Jewish fellowship into independent research, and his shift toward evaluating the claims with a critical eye, aiming to understand how the minimal facts argument stands up under scrutiny.
Why Do I NEED God? (feat @TheMagicSkeptic )
Q: Why do I need God?
