Atheists sometimes attack religion by saying it's a crutch for the weak-minded. Karlo Broussard refutes this claim and explains how it is a weak argument against belief in God.

A popular objection is that Jesus' resurrection is a rip-off of dying and rising deities within pagan mythology. Should Christians be alarmed by this? Karlo Broussard gives reasons why the answer is no.
Atheists often try to justify their atheism by saying there is no scientific evidence for God. But as Karlo shows in this video, such a quest for truth starts off on the wrong foot, since science's methodology precludes it from being able to detect God.
