Complaints about TLC and PVK

22:00  Tunji complains about TLC beating about the bush.

24:00  "This is not a good place for a Christian [or any decent person who wants to engage in meaningful dialogue about religion and politics without wasting tons of time]." Tunji should just come to me.

25:00  Wasting your time with tons of chitchat is not helpful if you want to address your own issues of faith by people in TLC absolutely determined not to discuss the soundness of their beliefs "diminishes and damages" the interests of viewers and subscribers who want to get to the bottom of things in our increasingly turbulent times.

26:00  Yes, listening to TLC can make you lose your faith and become as morally apathetic and confused as the people who refuse to properly engage with you on matters religious and theological, trying to make you feel bad for being out of step with platitudes, excuses and unexamined nonsense.

27:00  PVK has said things like "We are not the kind of people who discuss things like that!" This can be devastating to weaker souls. The Estuary Protocols are a very clever attempt to declare certain topics off limits and heresy while giving the appearance of dialogue.

"Randos" = The idea is ungodly.  If you accept Leibniz's best of all possible worlds, it is heresy to think and blasphemy to say that anything that ever happened was a random event. PVK either does not know this or does not accept this, which is conclusive evidence that he does not believe in God. Church is just a business model to him. That's why he promotes mediocrities and refuse to have a full and frank discussion with me. I have already agreed to be called a "Rando" to be interviewed as such even though this is him being insulting and mocking of me and my proposed solution. That invitation has yet to arrive.

27:45  PVK clearly has problems managing a motley crew of Christians and Post-Christians from the Jordan Peterson fans he managed to attract by catching the algorithmic wave of Jordan Peterson. But then Jordan Peterson himself refuses to reveal his current state of belief. Yet PVK defers to Jordan Peterson and talks about the "Arenic God" of Peterson as if he were a believing Christian or a qualified theologian.  Peterson is just one of those over-promoted colonials in the West over-promoted for the reason that such over-promoted people will obediently follow the instructions of those who over-promoted them.

28:00  Tunji makes an excellent point that a community for the sake of community is spiritually and morally empty. The community has to have a purpose. Currently, it is full of fake discussions and platitudinous conclusions. PVK attracts mediocrity because he just wants the numbers to big up his YouTube channel.

30:00  "Calvinism is moral laissez faire"? It's not just Calvinism though, is it? The Christian promise has always been "Believe and you will be saved", the "cheap grace" of Christianity. Yet when you try to propose a coherent system  of rules, outrage abounds, which Christians will deride as legalistic and only for ant people and soulless robots. 

31:00  PVK would of course pander to liberals too. I remember him praising the Barbie movie.  

33:00  TLC would still exist even if the rules of participation radically changed. If the rules changed, we would want them changed for good reasons. If it ended in our expulsion, we would want to know the reason for this. Since much of what he says is incoherent to the point that he told us his wife actually said she had no idea what he was talking about and insisted that he did a video summarising what he just said. But there is nothing to summarise. It is just a flood of words falling into the open mouths of his admirers who do not care what he is even saying as long as they like the vibe. He no longer has to make sense.  In any case, are they even listening properly as they play with each other in the chat? 

34:00  Pilate asked: "What is the truth?" Truth is what is not in dispute to the parties involved, or, it is the opinion of the powerful. 

40:00  The nature and purpose of God: "If we don't know something, we know of someone who does!"

41:00  We do not have to know that God exists. It is enough that we know that the *concept* of God exists. We know lies exist. Even if we are atheists who think God is a lie, the fact is that this alleged lie has a purpose and is still capable of serving its economic, moral, political and social purpose if used properly. This PVK refuses to discuss with me or any of the mediocrities he is always talking to or about. I think PVK is smart enough to know what I mean and propose, but he may be reluctant to be the first serious and senior American to appear to take it seriously without a preamble of mockery and insults followed by a list of stupid questions that will mirror the mindset of my detractors.

42:00  It is true that the American people do not have an official moral system that is a functioning moral system. It is true that people get the government they deserve. It is true that Americans do not understand their own history, but, hey, who does anyway? Not even Jews and Muslims understand their own history. It is true that there are many questions Americans are afraid to ask themselves, much less those around them. PVK could do his fellow Americans a great service by talking to me without fear or favour of his YouTube viewers and subscribers who are in any case mostly hypocrites, cowards, mediocrities and degenerates who need to be told a thing or two.  

48:00  The spirit of the age is matriarchy, madness, malign encouragement and moral corruption. PVK won't talk about any of these things, perhaps saying to himself that the mediocre intellects of his viewers and subscribers he panders to prefer platitudes and Petersonian pap to the proposing and consideration of any viable solution.

49:00  What is so rational about modernity?

50:00  Modernity is feminism and by extension matriarchy. 

53:00  I like to think all my arguments are sound because all my premises are indisputably true. Too bad no one wants to argue with me about this!

54:00  Bart Ehrman is a Christian atheist. If American Christians cared enough about their Christianity they would excommunicate him for heresy, but there is no Church of America, not that I am proposing such a thing. Christian identity, beliefs, values and principles are never discussed in TLC because these are the topics  that would be considered off limits in any Estuary Meeting. The fact is that Christians fear to discuss these matters for fear of causing further division and schism. But why not admit once and for all that Christianity is but an anachronism because absolute monarchy is now an anachronism? And what are 21st century Americans in their constitutional republic doing with these anachronisms when they have a better moral operating system that the Founding Fathers based their republic on? Our official moral system is not a family heirloom but a working boiler. Once we have decided that our boiler is irreparable, we will need to replace it which means taking out the old one and replacing it with the new one. Otherwise, we will have neither hot water nor heating in the winter.  

55:00  The modernists and feminists have torn down the supporting walls of patriarchy. In the meantime, PVK talks endlessly praises Ayaan Hirsi Ali to confirm the Islamophobic bias of TLC. Why are there no Muslims in TLC? Because they can read the invisible writing on the wall that says "Muslims keep out." 

59:00  If PVK cared about his "congregation" at all, he owes it to them to facilitate meaningful dialogues that will address the issues faced by them instead  causing them to waste thousands of manhours building a fake community of fake Christians who cannot discuss problems properly with non-Christians who are not also Islamophobes. At the very least as a YouTuber he ought to be facilitating meaningful dialogues as much as possible without pandering to intellectual mediocrities who literally talk nonsense while being unable to defend their ideas.  

1:00:00  When did God abolish Hell? Nobody knows and nobody cares because deep down TLC does not believe God exists to punish anyone for anything. They are just a bunch of distressed atheists pretending to be fake Christians to cling to their middle class status. Trailer trash do not go to church, do they? 

1:01:00  If PVK were serious about managing his congregation, he would have to defend the Trinity which is morally and intellectually indefensible. Because he wants the best of both worlds, he falls between two stools. While he may be keeping his "congregation", it will not be expanding because of the insufferable chitchat they indulge in and their fear of discussing serious issues in a thoroughgoing fashion so that a conclusion is reached or at the very least positions clarified. 

PVK became big with Jordan Peterson. The problems represented by Peterson remain unsolved because they are ultimately a problem of Western masculinity caused by feminism/modernism/matriarchy which Peterson himself has not resolved. It does not look like PVK is interested in resolving them either. In fact, he is so little interested in resolving them that he even refuses to invite me as a "rando" to be interviewed. His latest ploy is to talk about the "Arenic God" as if it really meant something important when it is just another neologism created to generate more confusion and time-wasting.  

1:04:00  Is God Jesus or not? PVK does not want to talk about that either. 

1:05:00  Fatalism is nihilism, nihilism is atheism. 

1:07:00  Going to church is not enough. Sharing ideas is crucial, but most TLC people fear to say what they mean or are in fact incapable of thinking through their problems logically.
