I can't believe I'm sharing this, but here is 13 year old Tom, vlogging on his youtube channel from his bedroom.
This a video from a channel long since shut down, from the year of our lord 2010.
None of it is my proudest work - but I got better as I got older. I learned skills and made friends, some of whom I still know to this day.
Making these silly videos over time taught me so much about video editing, talking to cameras, and being effective on social media. I failed a lot before I got better. But I had the chance to try. I developed skills that have helped me enormously in adult life.
Had I not been able to make silly videos on youtube - and get motivated/excited about thousands of people watching them - my subsequent life would have certainly looked very different.
Some might argue that would have been for the better, but it would have certainly been for the more boring.
A moving man goes again this week. He sets out with high agency, an extreme sense of urgency, and insane optimism.
In the pursuit of his luck, he grinds and strives, knowing that there is nothing else but success ahead of him. He thrives always!!!
Good morning, wishing my fellow freelancers and mutuals a productive week.
The claim that the God of the Bible is evil is not just wrong, it is self-defeating, philosophically incoherent, and collapses the moment you actually read the book you are critiquing.
First, if you are going to prosecute the God of the Bible, you must engage the God the Bible actually presents, not the straw deity of internet atheism.
The Bible’s God is Trinitarian, self-sufficient, existing in loving relationship within himself before creation, lacking nothing, and needing no one. James says every good thing, sleep, pleasure, beauty, laughter, comes from him. That framing is is crucial.
If “God is evil” what is the comparative moral standard. What do you compare him to? If the universe is purposeless matter, then morality is just your nervous system firing preferences. You are just filing a complaint with no court, no law, and no standing.
If however your moral standard is real and binding across all people, then congratulations. You have just accidentally argued for the existence of a moral lawgiver. The accusation is either incoherent or it proves God exists.
But to go deeper, the terror of a needy, lonely, wounded God making capricious decisions is a terror we can rationalize since is just human pathology at cosmic scale. That is explainable.
What should make us pause is the terror of the God who lacks nothing, who gains nothing from punishing anyone and who was complete and satisfied before you drew your first breath. When THAT God judges, it cannot be ego. He has nothing to win.
Which means when the biblical God acts in severity, it is because justice is real and he is its embodiment. The atheist is prosecuting a deity that does not exist in the text they are quoting.
And who even has the right to determine what a people deserve? Who has the sight to weigh the full arc of a civilization’s corruption, the downstream of unchecked evil, the futures that never happen because judgment didn’t come?
The critic sits in a courtroom with a fraction of the evidence, and demands the verdict is overturned and that is baseless epistemic arrogance.
But most crucially, every other religion’s God stays hidden; conveniently invisible, and safe from examination. The God of the Bible, uniquely, when accused, enters the dock.
He becomes human. He submits to the conditions of his own creation, walks in it for thirty three years, and is examined at close range by people who wanted to destroy him. Roman judges, religious prosecutors, crowds, betrayers etc. All hostile witnesses with murderous intent scrutinising his every word and deed.
And the verdict returned by even his enemies: “I find no fault in this man”. The most morally examined life in human history belongs to the accused. You want to meet the God of the Bible? You already can. His name is Jesus. Judge him there, on the ground, in the flesh, and then come back with your accusation.
The concept of evil applied to this God is a man essentially standing in a house built by someone else, breathing air he did not make, using a moral vocabulary he cannot justify, and pointing at the architect and calling him wicked. The irony is hilarious and the case collapses, because the God being accused already answered it in person.

Kindly lend your voice I beg you.
On today’s children’s day,
If this is all you do, you’ve done a lot.
It’s quite simple. Christianity is the only religion that tells a prisoner the problem isn’t what he did. It’s what he is. The demand isn’t behavioral reform. It’s death. The old man must be crucified. You cannot discipline yourself into acceptability before God. You must be unmade and rebuilt from the inside out.
That is not a comfortable message, it is a devastating one. Especially to a man who has spent years constructing an identity around dominance, survival, and violence, and still, somewhere underneath it all, believes in that version of himself.
Islam, as it is typically preached inside those walls, offers something structurally different. Submit. Comply. Pray at these hours, face this direction, say these words, earn your standing through practice and belonging. The inner man does not need to be torn down and reconstructed. He just needs to be redirected.
A man who has controlled, taken, and dominated his entire life can find profound continuity between that psychology and a religion that rewards discipline, masculine structure, and community solidarity without ever asking him to grieve who he was. And perhaps it helps that the founder was himself a conqueror, a warrior, a man of many women and considerable violence. There is no biography there that makes a prisoner feel entirely indicted.
Christianity offers no such comfort. It looks the prisoner in the eye and says you must die to yourself. Not adjust. Not redirect. DIE.
And that is exactly why so many won’t take it. The gospel isn’t hard to understand. It’s hard to want.
