It's been a while since I've a video from The Amazing Atheist and in this one he really does a great job of conveying how nonsensical Christianity's ideas for the afterlife are.
To go beyond what's said in the video the god character in The Bible makes a lot more sense if we thought of gods like the Greek and Roman gods, not omnipotent but rather more like if a human had that power. I don't understand why an omnipotent would require or even care for our love.

That dude looks like he snorted up a mangled feather duster and lost his eyebrows in the process.
I shudder to think what the world would be like if humans had the power of God.

I made it 3:25 and realized this dude is a waste of time.
Jesus was a hippy cult leader of his day. He wasn't even that successful in his lifetime, having only a dozen or so followers. Jim Jones had 900 followers that drank the flavor aid. David Koresh had 80ish plus 13 of his own children. Trump has millions. If it weren't for Paul, Christianity would have died with the apostles or possibly been a niche religion like the Mandaeans.

I can ignore the silly comparison of Jesus to Koresh and Jones, but Donald Trump?! You crossed a line, pally.

Wow I haven't seen a video from TAS in a while. He got old.
Playing Devil's advocate, the God of the Bible is said to be omnibenevolent in addition to omnipotent. So it does make sense for God to love His creation.

Oh God, Amazing Atheist, that has been? I like him but I dunno why he's still bothering with this "Edgy Atheist" schtick, it's just not the cash cow on Youtube that it used to be. I know he's been dipping his toe in the "Breadtube" scene (Youtube leftists) with rather limited success, I guess now he's trying to bring back to his "Fedora Atheist" glory days. I really wish he would just back go to doing Drunken Peasants, that was the best thing he had going for him.

Oh so that's what he looks like. Heard of the AA before but never bothered looking him up.

His book, Jesus, Interrupted it's pretty good. Detailing the contradictions between the Gospels.
