  • Big fan

    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!
