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:

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.

Hi David.

"18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

2 Corinthians 5v18-21

May the Lord continue to minister His word/ways through your life. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christ-filled week.

agape...................always

finally a half intelligent religious bloke. Even as a believer, you must see the utter bollocks that passes for religion in america - millionaire hedonistic rappers with crucifixes ect, its the trendy thing to do. Kanye west surely takes the cake with his comment that: 'I think you can love jesus, and still masturbate - i love porn'. For fuck sake, at least read 1 page of your holy book. however as an agnostic, I have a slight envy of religious people in that they seem to be a bit more content, and reassured about life. But thats just a selfish view, ie. they perhaps worry about life less.

WhyIsWhat,
University polls in the United States, continually demonstrate that atheists are the least distrusted minority in the country. Atheism may be growing in popularity, but soon it will be like "who cares" and it won't be some noble, intellectual position for the scholars in the Ivory Towers who sit on their armchairs all day.

WhyIsWhat,
No child is born an atheist, because atheism is not the "lack of belief in a God". Perhaps, a person who lingos in semantics may take a lesson in Philosophy School 101.
'Atheism is the position that affirms the nonexistence of God. It proposes positive belief rather than mere suspension of disbelief.' Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy
'The doctrine or belief that asserts there is no God or gods'. Merriam Webster 1992

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.
