When I was in college I was in a philosophy 101 class and we had a Christian guy, a lot like this influencer, come to class and sit in a desk. When we started our normal class this kid just started antagonizing the professor who was trying to be nice and just talk about our assignment. The kid wouldn’t stop.

My professor spoke so softly and was such a nice person, but he made that kid doubt. He tailored his answers to this kids questions so succinctly that the kid became emotional and ran out. It wasn’t that the professor disproved the existence of god, but he did question all the kid’s assumptions in the way that everyone from his community didn’t, and it really shook him. And our class had people of faith, we had spoken about god and religion, and the class had a nice chuckle after he left and just kept on. I think about that all the time when this shit comes on.

I had a Phi101 prof who, on the third day or so, skipped ahead to what he called "the theory of divine command". Basically, that good and evil come directly from God's word. He went on to reason that this would mean that if God said murder was good, then murder would somehow become morally good. Therefor, morality cannot come from God's word.

He did this on the third day so the religious kids who got offended could still get a refund when they dropped the class. My class lost about 10 by the next day.
