Christianity is USEFUL so it's TRUE!!!??? - The Most Annoying Religious People

Support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/themagicskeptic What is the utility in Christianity, if any? And even if it is useful, what does this demonstrate? According to some geniuses, Christianity is useful so it's true! Naturally, in response to this, some will ask; is Christianity useful and/or is the Bible useful? More generally, the question is; is religion useful? The Brett Weinsteins of the world will assert that this is foregone conclusion as the tradition wouldn't have made it this far were it lacking in utility. This is a fascinating point. So, is there utility in Christianity? Does Christianity create progress? According to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, this utility can be found in Christianity's ability to resist Islamism, wokeism and authoritarianism. Granting that, the larger question is this; does utility prove truth? In other words, even if one grants that Christianity is useful, it's reasonable to ask; can religion be useful and false? This, it's safe to say, is yet another foregone conclusion. Despite this, Ayaan Hirsi Ali's conversion to Christianity appears to be replete with references to utility as opposed to evidence. That is the subject of this video. So, what do you think? Is faith useful? Is Christianity necessary to resist our foes? Does atheism lead to societal downfall, or personally speaking, does atheism lead to depression? Join your friendly atheist Magic Skeptic and let's discuss all of it in this next fascinating episode of The Most Annoying Religious People!
