Summary

Omnism, in the sense that we just pretend all religions are true, is a really nice (in the old sense of the word) religion. It has high hopes and seems to help everyone to "get along," but it depends entirely on utter irrationality and dishonest evaluations of the really important issues that religions are disagreeing on. If you have fallen for Omnism, then I hope you'll consider this a kindness and a wake-up call to consider the evidence for Jesus and the importance of the truth about God and us. This is just one question from a long interview I did for the moderators of the r/Bible subreddit. They asked their subreddit to send me a bunch of questions, and I spent a lot of time preparing so that I would be able to offer the best answers I could. I'll be posting these answers as individual videos, so keep an eye out for the rest in the set. Here's a playlist where I will add them as they come out:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHtc_kN13cgTRV1l3bl3wZiD

And we had to look this one up, so I've been...

Yeah, it's kind of a Lucy Goosey idea.

0:15.1

I'm not really entirely clear on what people mean by Omnism,

0:18.6

but Omnism means all, and you combine that with anism.

0:22.8

So,ism is belief, so all beliefs.

0:25.1

And it's the idea, like the definition you guys sent me is

0:28.0

the recognition and respect of all religion or lack thereof.

0:32.1

Those who hold this belief are called Omnists from another question.

0:36.3

Oh yeah, I had some other stuff there too, but the idea of Omnism

0:43.2

is I think really likable, like it's very peacemaking, because you walk into a whole room of people,

0:51.0

and I remember hearing a conversation where two people were disagreeing,

0:53.7

and a third person came up and was like, I think you're both right.

0:57.6

And I thought, that's cute, except it's not possible, right?

1:01.6

Like they're disagreeing in a fundamental way,

1:03.5

which they both couldn't be right, because if he's right...

1:06.0

Unless...

1:07.0

Or unless all they were arguing about was who had the big gringo, so...

1:12.3

Maybe if you stop that argument, then you know that that's all they're arguing about.
