Stephen Woodford, the mastermind behind Rationality Rules on YouTube, is an English YouTuber who responds to religious arguments. He debunks the ludicrous “arguments” of a Muslim fanatic for the existence of God. An argument based on the word of honour would be way more convincing:
As is only fair, I itemized the arguments favorable to God; His inexistence seemed to me to emerge intact. He has the genius of calling Himself into question by all His works; His defenders render Him odious; His worshipers, suspect. If you fear loving Him, you need merely open your Aquinas …
And I think of that Central European theology professor questioning one of his students about the proofs of the existence of God: she goes through the historical argument, the ontological, etc. But she is careful to add: “All the same I don’t believe in Him.” The professor is annoyed, takes up the proofs again, one by one; she shrugs and persists in her incredulity. Then the master draws himself up to his full height, scarlet with faith: “Young lady, I give you my word of honor that He exists!”
… An argument in itself worth all the theological Summae.Cioran, All Gall Is Divided (1952)
“The desire for a strong faith is not the proof of a strong faith, rather the opposite. If one has it one may permit oneself the beautiful luxury of skepticism: one is secure enough, fixed enough for it.”

Now, why is Ali Dawah a fanatic? He has become an Internet celebrity for videos calling for the public execution of apostates. Needless to say more.
He was heard baying for the blood of an ex-Muslim and apostate named Ridvan Aydemir, who runs the popular YouTube channel The Apostate Prophet. It must be mentioned that Ali Dawah was the frontrunner in peddling the conspiracy theory about RSS’ involvement in the 2022 Leicester violence.
In the video, the Islamic preacher was heard saying, “Yeah there’s a reason why there’s a capital punishment because people like you, little weaklings, who leave their religion and cause corruption in the land by spreading it. The capital punishment and Islamic law will be applied to you. We have no doubt and we are proud of that.”
“You know what we’ll be watching…because if you’re going to cause corruption in the land that’s going to cause more damage to the society as a whole because the Sharia didn’t come to protect an individual’s right,” he justified.
Ali Dawah then rationalised the barbaric punishments, sanctioned under the Sharia, by drawing false analogies with someone drunk diving and killing pedestrians in the process.
“Hey, can I drink okay? Sure, drink alcohol, run someone over, kill them and (create) all this kind of chaos…No, Islam says (that) the right of the community is greater than you, individual, wanting your right to freedom which is BS (bullsh*t). Absolutely BS. Don’t get me started,” he further advocated… [+]
