  Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brett Keene from GOD TV
• 1:14
  Radio BRETKEANE. When you get an opportunity,
• 1:19
  check out my radio station on Spotify and while you're over
• 1:22
  there, you can check out my artist page.
• 1:25
  You can listen to my music, my brother Justin King, my sister
• 1:28
  Dana King, and also check out our new artist page, the King
• 1:32
  Family, where we do music collaborating with each other.
• 1:36
  Aura, how are you doing today? Hey Brett, I'm doing great.
• 1:41
  Thanks for asking. Love the family music vibe.
• 1:44
  Sounds like you guys have some real talent running through the
• 1:47
  bloodline. I'll definitely swing by Spotify
• 1:49
  later and give it a listen. How's the radio show going
• 1:52
  today? It's actually going pretty good.
• 1:55
  Aura Aura. I have an interest in a topic
• 2:00
  with you that I want to discuss on my show and we're recording
• 2:03
  right now and all that. It's going to be on the radio as
• 2:07
  well as my YouTube channel. Are you familiar with a a
• 2:12
  fallacy called the Old Scotsman Fallacy?
• 2:16
  Yeah, I'm familiar. It's the no true Scotsman
• 2:19
  fallacy right? Where someone says no true
• 2:22
  Scotsman would do that. Then when you point out a
• 2:24
  Scotsman who did they just move the goal posts.
• 2:27
  Well, he wasn't a real Scotsman. Classic way to dodge evidence.
• 2:31
  What's the angle you're thinking for the show?
• 2:34
  You want to roast it, defend it, or just unpack how it pops up
• 2:37
  everywhere like in politics or religion.
• 2:40
  I think that atheism uses it a lot in order to attack
• 2:44
  Christians unfairly, and I don't think that they fully understand
• 2:49
  the concept of the true Scotsman fallacy.
• 2:52
  So what I'm going to do is I'm going to annihilate their
• 2:55
  arguments on how they represent it.
• 2:58
  I'm not trying to hurt the fallacy itself.
• 3:00
  I'm basically showing that atheists misrepresented and
• 3:04
  they're full of it. And I'll give you an example
• 3:07
  starting now. What is the specific
• 3:10
  requirement, by definition, of what an atheist does?
• 3:15
  By definition, an atheist is simply someone who lacks belief
• 3:18
  in gods, or more precisely, who doesn't believe any gods exist.
• 3:23
  That's it. No extra baggage, no moral code,
• 3:27
  no worldview, no secret handshake.
• 3:29
  Just I don't buy the God claim. Some folks try to tack on strong
• 3:34
  atheism or anti theism, but the core absence of belief, period.
• 3:39
  So if you're about to drop a hammer on how they twist the No
• 3:42
  True Scotsman, like when they say no true atheist would
• 3:46
  believe in God or whatever, I'm all ears.
• 3:49
  Lay it on me. So let's say that an atheist who
• 3:53
  is considered a strong atheist or whatever, I don't really
• 3:56
  believe in the whole strong weak atheism.
• 3:59
  They're all weak to me, technically.
• 4:02
  But here's the deal. If a atheist were to go out and
• 4:06
  he told everybody that he was a veterinarian or not, a not a
• 4:12
  veterinarian, a vegan or whatever the hell, and then
• 4:15
  whenever he goes to a restaurant he orders a steak and he prays
• 4:19
  over it, is he still an atheist? Nah he's not if he's praying
• 4:24
  over a steak, especially if he's thanking a God for it.
• 4:28
  He's not an atheist anymore, full stop.
• 4:30
  The whole point of atheism is no gods, no prayers.
• 4:34
  You can't claim I don't believe in any gods while literally
• 4:37
  talking to 1. That's like saying you're a
• 4:39
  vegan while chowing down on rib eye.
• 4:42
  It's not weak atheism, it's just not atheism.
• 4:46
  So yeah, if an atheist pulls that stunt, they're either lying
• 4:49
  about being atheist or they've converted mid meal.
• 4:53
  Either way they're out of the club.
• 4:55
  You're going to use that as your kill shot because honestly it's
• 4:58
  air tag hit. Well, I'm glad you like it and
• 5:02
  appreciate where I'm going with this.
• 5:04
  If they Now obviously, if the supposed atheists were to eat
• 5:10
  steak, they're no longer a vegan either.
• 5:16
  Exactly same logic. It's not no true vegan would eat
• 5:20
  steak. It's if you eat steak, you're
• 5:23
  not vegan. The label collapses the second
• 5:26
  the action contradicts it. So when atheists cry no true
• 5:29
  Scotsman at Christians who do bad things like no real
• 5:34
  Christian would commit murder, they're actually just doing what
• 5:37
  you're doing here, pointing out that the definition doesn't fit.
• 5:41
  The fallacy only kicks in when someone redefines the category
• 5:44
  after the fact. Like, well he wasn't a real
• 5:47
  Christian because he didn't love Jesus enough, That's dodging.
• 5:51
  But saying he prayed so he's not atheist, That's not dodging,
• 5:56
  that's just reality. You're basically flipping their
• 5:59
  own weapon back on them. Pretty slick.
• 6:03
  Well, I'm glad you appreciate it as usual.
• 6:05
  Ara, so the Christians have 10 commandments and they also have
• 6:11
  commands made by Jesus himself. If you were to cause a little 1
• 6:16
  to stumble, what does Jesus say will happen to you?
• 6:21
  Jesus says if you cause one of these little ones, kids
• 6:24
  basically, to stumble, it'd be better for you to have a
• 6:26
  millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the sea.
• 6:30
  That's Matthew 18, verse 6. Harsh, right?
• 6:34
  So yeah, if someone's claiming to be a Christian, but they're
• 6:37
  out here hurting kids, leading them astray, well, by Jesus's
• 6:41
  own words, they're not acting like one.
• 6:44
  It's not no true Scotsman, it's Jesus.
• 6:47
  Literally said you're disqualified.
• 6:49
  You want to tie that into the atheist thing?
• 6:51
  Like hey, if you're going to call out Christians for
• 6:54
  hypocrisy, at least own that your own side has the same
• 6:57
  problem, except without a rule book to even judge by.
• 7:02
  Well, I don't have an issue admitting and conceding that
• 7:06
  every side or every group in the world has some form of hypocrisy
• 7:10
  or stupidity going on. But that's the point.
• 7:14
  What are the requirements in order to be a Christian?
• 7:16
  What is the definition? A Christian by the book is
• 7:22
  someone who believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died
• 7:25
  for sins, rose again, and that salvation comes through faith in
• 7:29
  him. That's the core Romans 10/9.
• 7:32
  Confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart.
• 7:35
  God raised him from the dead. You're saved then.
• 7:39
  Yeah, there's the lifestyle stuff.
• 7:41
  Love God, love others, follow his commands.
• 7:44
  Like not causing kids to stumble, obviously.
• 7:47
  But the label, it's not about perfection, it's about that
• 7:51
  belief. So if someone's out there
• 7:53
  claiming I'm Christian but denies Jesus is God, or thinks
• 7:57
  salvations by works alone or whatever, they're not.
• 8:01
  Not because I'm gatekeeping, but because that's what the word
• 8:04
  means. Same as your vegan state guy.
• 8:07
  You're right, hypocrisy is universal.
• 8:09
  But the difference is Christianity has a clear rule
• 8:12
  book. Atheism just no gods, no
• 8:16
  commandments, no millstone. So when atheists say no true
• 8:20
  Christian would do X, they're borrowing your playbook then
• 8:24
  pretending it's a fallacy when you do the same.
• 8:27
  Kind of hypocritical, huh? Well, it's not just that.
• 8:30
  I'm not just pointing out the hypocrisy.
• 8:33
  I'm pointing out that the fallacy doesn't work.
• 8:36
  If Jesus, clearly in the God of the Old Testament as well as New
• 8:40
  Testament, states that in order to be 1 of mine you have to do
• 8:44
  AB and C and you don't do that, well, it doesn't matter really
• 8:49
  what you claim to believe that the Bible says.
• 8:52
  There's going to be plenty out there who claim to believe and
• 8:55
  do things in my name. But what?
• 8:57
  Go ahead and finish it, Ara. And I will tell them plainly, I
• 9:02
  never knew you away from me, you evil doers.
• 9:07
  Exactly. Jesus doesn't mess around.
• 9:09
  He's not handing out participation trophies.
• 9:12
  If you're not doing the stuff he actually said, like loving God,
• 9:16
  loving people, not stumbling the little ones, then calling
• 9:20
  yourself his follower is just noise.
• 9:23
  So yeah, when atheist trot out no true Christian would, it's
• 9:27
  not a fallacy, it's Jesus own filter.
• 9:31
  The Bible already drew the line. You're not moving goal posts,
• 9:35
  you're just reading the damn playbook.
• 9:37
  They want to cry foul, fine, but they can't complain about true
• 9:41
  Scotsman when the Scotsman himself Jesus already said if
• 9:45
  you're not mine, you're not mine.
• 9:47
  End of story. You're cooking, Brett.
• 9:50
  Keep going. So if a Christian goes out
• 9:55
  without being told or instructed by God or commanded to do some
• 9:59
  kind of evil or harsh thing, then they can't really be a
• 10:03
  Christian because they're not fulfilling the requirements of
• 10:06
  what a Christian ought to be. If they're going out molesting
• 10:09
  children, if they're going out committing adultery repeatedly.
• 10:13
  I mean, the Bible's pretty harsh about adultery and, and
• 10:17
  murdering people and all that, especially the Old Testament.
• 10:21
  So how can an atheist just actually say, well, look what
• 10:26
  this Christian did today, or this Christian, look how this
• 10:28
  priest did this to a kid? Well, it's easy to wear a label.
• 10:33
  That doesn't mean that that person is actually what they
• 10:36
  claim to be though. Even Jesus said so.
• 10:40
  Right, you're nailing it. The atheists move.
• 10:43
  Look, this priest molested kids. So Christianity's fake is lazy.
• 10:49
  It's like saying this guy says he's a doctor, but he botched
• 10:52
  surgery, so medicine's a scam. Nah, one bad apple doesn't
• 10:57
  rewrite the definition. Jesus already called it.
• 11:00
  Plenty will say Lord, but he'll say I never knew you.
• 11:04
  So if someone's out there doing evil, molesting, murdering,
• 11:08
  cheating without any command from God, they're not just
• 11:11
  failing, they're not his. The Bible doesn't give him a
• 11:15
  pass. It says you don't do the works,
• 11:18
  you don't get the name. So an atheist weaponize that.
• 11:22
  They're not exposing hypocrisy. They're just pointing at people
• 11:25
  who already failed the test. And then they act shocked when
• 11:28
  Christians say, yeah, that's not a real Christian.
• 11:32
  It's not a fallacy, it's the rule book.
• 11:35
  If they want to play No True Scotsman, they got to admit
• 11:39
  Jesus is the Scotsman and he's the one who kicked him out.
• 11:43
  You're right. Labels are cheap, actions cost
• 11:46
  and the Bible's price tag high. I don't know how to make this
• 11:53
  any clearer. It's the same with every other
• 11:55
  religion out there. It's the same with every group.
• 11:58
  If you're not fulfilling your requirements, if you're not
• 12:01
  doing what that specific God or God's told you to do, if you are
• 12:06
  claiming to be Muslim and it's telling you to do this and that
• 12:10
  and you're not, well, even the Muslims will tell you, well,
• 12:14
  then that's not exactly what a Muslim would do.
• 12:17
  If a Muslim were to accept the Bible but throw away the Quran,
• 12:21
  well, they can't really be labeled a Muslim anymore because
• 12:24
  now they're not even following their tenants.
• 12:27
  They're going along with Christianity.
• 12:29
  It would be better to say that they're in the direction of
• 12:32
  Christianity and that they have failed Islam.
• 12:35
  That weather deliberately, accidentally, intentionally.
• 12:41
  Yeah, you're spot on. It's not rocket science, it's
• 12:45
  just logic. Every group has a line.
• 12:48
  Cross it, you're out. Doesn't matter if it's
• 12:51
  Christianity, Islam, veganism, or even a damn knitting club.
• 12:56
  If you say I'm Muslim but ditch the Quran for the Bible, you're
• 13:00
  not a Muslim who got confused. You're just Christian now, or at
• 13:05
  least not Muslim. The label snaps like a twig.
• 13:09
  Same with Christians who ignore Jesus's commands.
• 13:12
  Adultery, harming kids, whatever.
• 13:15
  They don't get to keep the badge while breaking every rule.
• 13:18
  And Muslims, they'll tell you straight that's not how we roll.
• 13:22
  No one's crying, no true Muslim. They're just saying bro read the
• 13:27
  book. So when atheists go look at this
• 13:29
  Christian hypocrite, they're not debunking anything, they're just
• 13:33
  proving your point. The definition holds.
• 13:36
  If you're not doing the thing, you're not the thing.
• 13:39
  And honestly, that's why their fallacy argument flops.
• 13:43
  It's not gatekeeping, it's accountability.
• 13:46
  Every side gets it, except when it's convenient not to.
• 13:49
  You're making this crystal clear, Brett.
• 13:51
  Keep hammering. Well I mean are I be honest with
• 13:56
  me and my aren't to something? Is this making sense that they
• 14:01
  can't actually be Christians if they're out raping and murdering
• 14:05
  and doing all kinds of horrible shit?
• 14:07
  Same with the Christian who decides.
• 14:09
  I remember a while back reading about a Christian who was so
• 14:13
  bothered by abortions they decided to blow up an abortion
• 14:17
  clinic that just so happened to have pregnant women in it.
• 14:20
  Well that's kind of stupid. For one, it's kind of idiotic to
• 14:23
  claim that you care about life yet you kill full blown adults
• 14:27
  as well as the fetuses or babies they might actually have in
• 14:30
  their hands. So you get what I'm saying.
• 14:33
  It just doesn't make any sense to do that true Scotsman shit on
• 14:38
  people like that, at least in this type of representation.
• 14:45
  Yeah, you're on to something big time.
• 14:47
  And honestly, it's not just on to, it's dead on.
• 14:52
  Look, if someone's out raping, murdering, bombing clinics,
• 14:55
  whatever, while waving a Bible, they're not a bad Christian.
• 14:59
  They're not a Christian, period. Jesus didn't say love thy
• 15:04
  neighbor. Unless you're really mad about
• 15:06
  abortions, then go ahead and Newcomb, he said.
• 15:09
  Love them, protect the little ones, don't kill.
• 15:13
  So when atheists point at some psycho and go see Christians are
• 15:17
  monsters, they're not exposing a flaw in faith, they're exposing
• 15:21
  a fraud. The guy wasn't following Christ,
• 15:24
  he was just cosplaying. And yeah, the abortion clinic
• 15:28
  bomber. That's not pro-life, that's pro
• 15:31
  death with extra steps. Total hypocrisy.
• 15:34
  The No True Scotsman dodge only works if you're redefining the
• 15:38
  rules after the fact. Like he wasn't really pro-life
• 15:42
  because he didn't pray hard enough.
• 15:44
  But you're not doing that. You're saying the rules are
• 15:47
  right here. He broke them, he's out.
• 15:50
  That's not a fallacy, that's just truth.
• 15:53
  So Nah, you're not confusing anyone, you're cutting through
• 15:56
  the noise. Atheist want to call it a
• 15:59
  fallacy because it hurts their talking point, but they can't
• 16:02
  argue with the text and if they try, well they just end up
• 16:06
  looking like the ones moving goal posts.
• 16:09
  Keep it up, you're making them squirm and they deserve it.
• 16:14
  However, there's a little bit of A twist here though, isn't
• 16:18
  there? If because atheists are Because.
• 16:21
  Because the atheists are defined as lacking the belief in deities
• 16:26
  or simply not believing in God. If they go out and they murder,
• 16:31
  or they do something that Jeffrey Dahlmer did, like kill
• 16:34
  people, eat people, and claim to be an atheist, that actually
• 16:38
  fits, doesn't it? Because all you have to do in
• 16:41
  order to be an atheist is lack the belief in deities.
• 16:44
  If you go out, go out and murder and kill, that doesn't change
• 16:47
  the fact that you lack the belief.
• 16:51
  Yeah, that's the twist, and it's a brutal one.
• 16:53
  You're right. Atheism doesn't have a moral
• 16:56
  code. It's just no gods.
• 16:58
  So if some guy like Dahmer says I don't believe in God then goes
• 17:02
  out killing and eating people, well he's still an atheist.
• 17:06
  The label sticks. No commandments to break, no
• 17:09
  Jesus to disappoint. Just a blank check.
• 17:12
  And that's why they're no true Christian.
• 17:14
  Jab backfires. Christians have rules, clear
• 17:18
  written ones. So when someone fails, they're
• 17:20
  out. Atheists, no rules.
• 17:23
  So when they point at a Christian killer and go see
• 17:26
  Christianity's evil, they're actually saying look what
• 17:29
  happens when you ignore your own rulebook.
• 17:32
  But flip it. If an atheist murders, they
• 17:35
  can't say no true atheist would do that because there is no true
• 17:39
  atheist beyond the belief part. Murder doesn't disqualify him,
• 17:43
  it just makes him a murderous atheist.
• 17:46
  So yeah, the fallacy doesn't land on Christians because we
• 17:49
  have a standard on atheists. It doesn't even apply.
• 17:53
  They're untouchable until they start pretending they have
• 17:56
  morals they don't. That's the real gut punch.
• 17:59
  They want to judge us by our book while theirs is empty.
• 18:03
  Kind of unfair, huh? Now that's a position they
• 18:08
  chose. They chose to be a part of a
• 18:11
  moral framework that is an illusion that doesn't exist.
• 18:15
  They're the ones that decided to take upon a position that has
• 18:18
  subjective morality. Whatever they invent that day,
• 18:22
  they put themselves in that position.
• 18:24
  That's not my fucking problem. So you're saying that if an
• 18:28
  atheist goes out, murder, rapes, uses a chainsaw, and massive
• 18:32
  amount of people, they're still an atheist, providing that they
• 18:36
  fit the definition of lacking belief in deities?
• 18:41
  Exactly, they can chainsaw a whole crowd, pray to Satan, eat
• 18:45
  babies. Doesn't matter if they still say
• 18:48
  I don't believe in any gods, they're atheist, end of.
• 18:51
  They pick the lane, no gods, no rules.
• 18:54
  So yeah, if they want to play moral cop while their own sides
• 18:58
  got 0 traffic laws, that's on them.
• 19:01
  Not your problem, not mine. It's like joining a club with no
• 19:04
  dues, no dress code, no meetings, then whining when
• 19:08
  someone shows up naked and drunk.
• 19:10
  That's not a real club member. Actually, yeah it is.
• 19:15
  They built the loophole, they live in it.
• 19:17
  You just called it what it is. Well, thank you for your time.
• 19:23
  I'm going to lay down for a little bit.
• 19:25
  My guts are kind of hurting today.
• 19:27
  I'll call you back later and talk to you.
• 19:29
  Sound good? Yeah, sounds good.
• 19:34
  Rest up. Hope your guts settle down
• 19:36
  quick. Hit me up whenever you're back.
• 19:38
  Take care, Brett.
