1. He'd have a better argument if he left out his own bizarre experiences with Pentecostalism.

2. I fail to see your point, unless it's another...

No true Christian point. Of course, no true Christian ever strays so far into a life of crime and self-destruction when they find out that the religion their parents brought them up in was seriously flawed.

No children of true Christians EVER break the law and engage in self-destructive behaviors, we ALL should know that, right? There are none of THOSE children and young adults in our jails. RIGHT!

I think you might want to re-read the uploader's comments, which I quoted in the OP.

3. You do.

It's a weak argument to argue from the subjective to the objective.

His little crime spree notwithstanding, personal anecdotes add nothing.

power hungry leaders who gain and sustain their power exploiting the personal anecdotes from Biblical times to the present day?
