Biography

If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby. Since 2008, NonStampCollector has been making anti-theistic videos on youtube, criticizing as many aspects of Christianity as stick-figures and bubble-headed cartoon caricatures will allow. After being ‘born again’ as a teenager, then enduring a slow, drawn-out, miserable deconversion, he did little about his atheism until discovering the work of Christopher Hitchens in 2007, and immediately joining the debate. A short time later, an imaginary dialogue between God and an atheist, literally scribbled on the back of an envelope, came to be the script of the first of over 50 youtube videos pointing out the shortcomings of Christian theology and apologetics that have accumulated more than seven million views. From Sydney, Australia, now living in western Japan.

Wrapping up my blog.

Screen Shot 2013-01-10 at 9.58.50 PM

I haven’t been around much lately. Things have conspired to turn my attentions in quite unexpected ways for the foreseeable, and NonStamping in general is simply not shaping up as quite as much of a week-to-week focus for me in 2013. I’ve not been as active a blogger as I’d anticipated being between videos, but …

Reply to Way Of The Master (Ray Comfort)

Screen Shot 2013-02-24 at 8.26.42 PM

Today I received a message from Ray and Kirk’s organisation.   I assume that the video they’re referring to is this one from 2008. I went to the trouble of writing a nice reply, but when I hit “send”, I discovered that those silly-billies at thewayofthemaster forgot that they’ve blocked everyone from sending them messages! …

Bible Slavery: TOTALLY DIFFERENT

  You help me out by ‘liking’ it on youtube, (by clicking here), and even commenting there rather than here. But don’t let me stop you either way. The script is below the fold, but here is the description box (subject to updates):   Whether you’re a believer or non-believer, when confronting bible slavery, don’t …

They’re re-convening.

Video recommendation….geocentrism?

Yeah, geocentrism. I wasn’t aware that that was much of a thing, either. But a new youtube channel, CoolHardLogic, is making some fantastic videos about it, debunking it, and I gotta tell you – watching him do it turns out to be a great way to learn a thing or two about the many wonderful …

Bible slavery – reading request

I’ll try to keep this quick. I’m looking for information about bible slavery. Particularly old-testament slavery. In every discussion I’ve heard of late on this topic, the apologists’ argument seems to centre around how old testament slavery was vastly different to, say, southern US antebellum slavery – it involved fixed terms of seven years, it …

What I’ve been learning about St Paul.

lost_christianities

I’ve been learning so much about Paul this year. Things that never ever occurred to me as a believer, and which I’ve never heard any believer address, are, like a lot of things, common knowledge to the biblical scholarship community. (Well, – the basis of a common knowledge upon which debate rages as to the …

“What if Hitler had won?” (Christian objective morality)

I’m going to look at an argument for objective morality that I heard enunciated on a Christian podcast a week or two back. You’ll know it, it’s not new. This time, however, it really got me thinking, and it could be the basis for a talkie-video on NonStampChannel2 some time. Before I put the time …

A bible quiz, courtesy of Dr. Dale Martin of Yale.

I love the Internet. It allows me to be a student of Yale University. Well, that is to say that I’ve been making my way through a series of lectures by Dale Martin, of Yale University, on early New Testament history, available for free on iTunesU. Yep, I may as well be sitting in the …

The bible is mainly nice, right?

I got a message from someone who was very polite and friendly, but who wanted to take me to task for having continually cherry-picked the bible, seeking out all of its ugly bits. “After all,” he (she?) said, and I quote, “you have to admit that the vast majority of the contents of the Bible …
