This channel is dedicated to explaining the simple life-transforming message of the Christian faith. It is for those who are openly interested in exploring the message and claims of Jesus; for Christians who have doubts; for Christians who want to strengthen their faith; for Christians who want to be able to share their faith AND for those who want their pre-conceptions and presuppositions challenged.

Do watch my introductory video to see where I am going:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwrc2_ 0uHiY

At present my aim is to try to answer the most common objections people raise as reasons to ignore the message of Jesus. I'm using the acronym "TIN CAR" to outline these objections.

Name: David
Age: 35

"T" for Tyrannical - Is Christianity Tyrannical? "I" for Irrelevant - Is Christianity Irrelevant? "N" for Nonsense - Is Christianity Nonsense? "C" for crutch - Isn't Christianity just a Crutch? "A" for Arrogant - Aren't Christians arrogant for claiming Jesus is the only way to God? "R" for Religion - Is Christianity just another way for telling people how to please God in order to be able to join his club?

So far in the 17 videos released in the series (see play-list on the right) we are up to "N" - Is Christianity Nonsense?

In the past I have studied theology and worked both as an assistant minister and student worker. I am currently a full-time father (or "Den-Master" - after the male Japansese Giant Salamader that looks after its young) of two living in the UK.

If you want to find out more about me do watch "I've been Tagged - Aaarrrggggggh!"

	whyiswhat \| 09 July 2008 WHY do some religious such as you rely on casuistry in presenting your theist position? IS there no value in the more simplistic argument rather than a rationalization through labyrinthian equivocation? WHAT motivates one to use logic to justify faith other than a lack of faith or a desire to fool the credulous or regale the servile assembly?
	whyiswhat \| 09 July 2008 WHY does your god allow atheism to grow? IS your god incapable of extinguishing atheism? WHAT is you god's reason for having every child born atheist?
	tygerchickchibi \| 30 June 2008 o_o I think my friend was referring me to you, I'm not sure yet. You're not the guy who keeps having your videos flagged by "offended" Christians? Oh please. >_>; They don't necessarily have to agree with it, but doing so is such childish-ness. Anyway, I've caught an interest. You're not anyone who's just "saying" things without good reason to. Either way, I'm subscribing, even if you're not the person I was searching for, it's still very informative.
	isgoanrain \| 17 June 2008 You sir have the most well done, logical, sensible and inoffensive "Pro-Christian" videos that I've seen on Youtube. I'm not here to start debate or what-not, I just respect that you have the decency to properly debate. I just watched your contradictions video and found it as a strong rebuttal. I have less of a problem with the Bible's story-related contradictions and more for its philosophical contradictions, but never-the-less, I simply wanted to praise your debating skills.
	apologist101 \| 16 June 2008 lothrazar - check my other videos and you will see I do allow comments. Read the discussion on the video you are referring to and you will see that I am not shy of open and honest debate or hard question. Most comments on that and other videos are mine because I aim to respond to all comments and questions put to me. And before you say it yes I do pre-approve comments on some videos in order to keep tabs on them. Pre-apporved comments are highlighted in bold for me (the director) which enables me to see them in the haze or other comments.
	lothrazar \| 13 June 2008 Why dont you allow people to comment on your video? The one video I saw was filled by comments by you, but comments were disabled. Don't you want other people to be able to state their opinions, and reference factual sources that MIGHT support a position that contradicts yours?
	apologist101 \| 11 June 2008 kix4trix - you obviously haven't watched any of my videos or if you have you haven't listened to a word I've said. I don't belive the earth is "young". Try and get your facts straight before you start typing or you simpy end up looking silly!
	kix4trix \| 09 June 2008 NICE GARBAGE PROPAGANDA SITE. I find pseudoscience and lying to ppl about this stuff pretty evil. Your young earth shit is so laughable. Anyone who thinks that garbage is beyond dumb your channel blows. all lies and evil nonsense. think about what u are doing
	TimeEffect \| 17 April 2008 Hey David, my UK friend, keep up those great videos, you're an inspiration "mate" ;)
	rockandrock44 \| 04 April 2008 Hey Great videos, expecially your 'What is Christianity?" series of videos which I am currently watching. I have one question, however: Do you deny any well accepted scientific theory or discovery (evolutionary theory, atomic theory, heliocentrism, etc) soley on the basis of a strict interpretation of a religious belief? I am a Christian and I accept all that modern science has discovered because of the mounting evidence for them. I ask this because someone cannot claim to be 100% rational and deny a scientific discovery ONLY on the basis of religious dogma. Thanks and God Bless. :-)

What is Christianity? - Talks

If you've read the blurb to the left you will realise that my purpose on YouTube is to attempt to explain the Christian faith in a step-by-step way... but I do branch out from time to time and do other stuff. So to cut through the haze these are the essential videos to watch.

If you click "Play All" then you will be able to select which video you want to watch from the list to the right of the video-box.
