What is Christianity? A perspective from a Secular Koranist and a Christian


Kevin Talleksen introduces himself.
1:45  Secular Koranism
2:00  An official moral system
3:00  We  need a book of rules to know our rights against our ruling classes.
4:00  The difference between religion and politics is a distinction without a difference.
5:00  I am not Muslim.
The Koran contains Noahidic laws.
6:00  Over the years, I have talked myself from atheism into agnosticism.
7:00  I have placed myself in the middle of two opposites: atheism and ethical monotheism.
8:00  Agnosticism is the most intellectually respectable position and commands the middle ground.

Religion has social, political, legal and moral utility.

10:00  Agnosticism
Spinoza's view that there was no need for a Creator if the Universe always existed

11:00  Ethical monotheists would know who created the Universe.

12:00  The Big Bang
13:00  The Koran
14:00  The Koran is a synthesis the Old and New Testament. 
15:00  Usury is forbidden to Jews.
17:00  Who gets to heaven how?
Chapter 8 of the Book of John claims Jesus is God.
18:00  The Torah is from God, but not the rest of the Old Testament. 
19:00  The New Testament was "inspired by God". 
21:00  My views on Christianity and the Trinity
22:00  Getting people to pretend to believe in the Trinity without blasphemy laws in the 21st century would be quite difficult.

The American Revolution rejected the totalitarianism of the British Crown.
23:00  The Book of John says Jesus is God.
24:00  I am what I am.


26:00  Jews have had their scripture culturally appropriated by Christians.
28:00  The Jefferson Bible
29:00  What does it mean to be an "independent Christian"?
30:00  America is the land of many Christian cults.
31:00  Who is a true Christian?
32:00  Did the Red Letter Bible come from the Jefferson Bible?
34:00  Jefferson's Unitarianism makes him closer to being Muslim than being Christian. 
36:00  By their fruits shall ye know them.

37:00  Extinct absolute monarchs could easily accuse Christianity of not being fit for the purpose of defending absolute monarchy.

38:00  What is the goal of Christianity?
40:00  Revelation Chapter 3
41:00  "Wicked human hearts"
Lord's Prayer "on earth as it is in heaven"

42:00  Scripture is the Theory of Religion, adherents of that religion are the fruits of that religion.

43:00  Choosing the best religion out of all the five world religions

44:00  The name of the game and the rules of the game which Muslims will not suffer to be made up by their corrupt and incompetent ruling classes as they go along

quran.com/2/256 supports the First Amendment.

45:00  Muslim kingdoms are not halal.

47:00  Americans would know to use quran.com/2/256 to support the First Amendment. 

48:00  The right-guided Caliphs were not monarchs.

49:00  The welfare state should be abolished and slavery reintroduced. Slavery is forbidden by neither the Bible nor the Koran.

51:00  When the Founding Fathers talked about "certain inalienable rights", they must have meant the inalienable rights contained in the Koran. 

52:00  Successful imperialism runs on the rule of law.
56:00  Rules are made to be broken.
57:00  Idolatry
The Trinity
58:00  The Council of Nicaea
Edict  of Thessalonica
59:00  God is one.
1:00:00  The Holy Spirit is co-equal, co-eternal and co-substantial.
1:02:00  "We can't be two persons, but God can be three persons."
1:03:00  God is transcendent not immanent. 
1:04:00  Human sacrifice
1:06:00  "Jesus was the perfect lamb."
1:08:00  Athanasius anticipated how Jews would argue against Christians. 
1:09:00  John Chapter 1
1:10:00  Arianism
1:11:00  Following Jesus, not following Arius or Athanasius

1:14:00  Obedience
1:16:00  Being like Jesus
