Technical Difficulties

My response to the blasphemy challenge has gone up on youtube here. Unfortunately, the text in the video shrunk so small during recompression that it's essentially illegible. I'm currently working on recording a textless version of the video which I can fit subtitles onto after recompression, hopefully clearing up the text.

I've also been having difficulty with posting text comments on youtube; it seems that either youtube randomly drops my comments, there's an intermittent significant delay in comments appearing on the site, or I can't post comments to my own video. In any case, this problem has kept me from posting the link to this blog in a comment on my video. I have been able to link my youtube user profile here as well as putting this URL into the video's description, so hopefully this post will actually be read by someone while it's still fresh.

First Post

The reason I decided to finally start this blog (I've been thinking about doing so for a while) is that I've also decided to post a video response to the blasphemy challenge. Since I would not want to state my beliefs without explaining my reasons behind them, I decided that in order to keep the video short I will be terse in the video and considerably more comprehensive here. Of course, since I haven't actually made the video yet, I'll refrain from putting any details here until such time as I know which beliefs I need to justify.

Ultimately, I am hoping to flesh out all of my beliefs here over the coming months, but I would rather start with something relevant.
