I had a great week in our nation’s capital, but unfortunately by, “slow updates,” it turned out that I meant, “no updates.” One of the problems the first week for this blog was that I was encountering links that I didn’t really have much to add to, but still wanted to post them.
I’ve decided to solve part of this problem by doing “Video Sunday” posts. These posts will have a few videos posted that I found interesting and relevant. I usually find a few every week, and I’ll save them up for a single post each week.
Here are the videos I ran across this week:
- Why We Believe in Gods: Psychiatrist Andy Thomson gives an hour-long lecture describing the reasons why we believe in gods. It’s a very interesting discussion about why our mind works the way it does regarding religion.
- What Would Jesus Not Do?: I really like this guy’s videos, and I’m sure I’ll be posting some more of his videos. This animation postulates a discussion between angels and Yahweh before his visit to earth. It’s long, but quite good.
- Sam Harris makes a joke and a point: A humorous exchange during a debate at the American Jewish University. Both hilarious, and a very good point.
- Open-mindedness: This is another person I recently discovered. This video talks about how we atheists are often called, “closed-minded,” shows why this is not the case, and also shows why it’s more likely that the person accusing the other person of being closed-minded is likely to be closed-minded themselves.
This concludes the first video Sunday. I know some of these videos are a bit older, but I wanted to start out with a bang of some great videos.
