If you are not familiar with NonStampCollecter's work, I recommend you check it out. He has published upwards of 50 videos which point out the absurdities found in the Bible in a humorous and intelligent way. He is obviously a skeptic and does not pull punches when making his arguments.
This from his own website:
I argue against the idea that the Bible has anything to do with truth in the areas of divinity or spirituality. The Bible is a demonstrably revolting and appalling piece of writing. It is morally redundant, and so full of murder, revenge, punishment, war, and bigotry that it amazes me that anyone can even mistake it for being in any way "holy".
Stylistically, the videos are his own animations and voice overs. Not the greatest artist, he; but his folk renderings of angels, God and Jesus almost suit the subject matter better than a professional artist's might. Whenever there is something said that makes your jaw drop, he adds text at the bottom of the screen with the Bible verse used as the source.
Life intervened for him recently, in a good way when he and wife had a child. But that meant a prolonged absence from publishing videos. He's back finally with "Jesus: the cover-up" published to his YouTube channel over the weekend.
What I really like about these videos is that they prepare you to defend against arguments which start with "the Bible says..." They also made me think more deeply about morality and how we can be moral beings without religious indoctrination. I usually have to watch them several times over the course of a few days before I totally get everything in the video. But they're hilarious and brilliant so I don't mind repeat views.
Latest video and my top four NSC picks below the fleur de kos.
My top four start with his most recent two.

Why I like |

Bible Slavery: TOTALLY DIFFERENT |
Might the world be in a better place had the Ten Commandments included something like the 13th Amendment to the Constitution? Maybe substitute it for the "don't take the Lord's name in vain" one. I mean that one has had so little effect. |

Yahweh's Amazing Test (Abraham, Genesis 22) |
Imagine if we had all grown up reading a Bible with a different Abraham test. The angel Gabrielle reminds God that they were supposed to do a different test on Abraham. "No, Lord, no, no. The test we had planned for Abraham was going to involve seeing whether he did lots and lots of very nice and kind and generous things to see if he was worthy of your blessing." |

Noah's Ark (part 2 of 2) |
Thank goodness we have Answers in Genesis to explain how the earth is six thousand years old AND had a flood over its entire surface AND managed to provide the huge biological diversity we see today. Because Noah didn't think it would be possible. This one is a two-fer, part one here. |

Christianity Debate |
For those thinking Bill Nye is wasting his time, you never know. They might have debate ground rules like this. |
Lastly, my understanding is that NonStampCollector is very interested in the comments posted to his videos. He's probably focusing on his latest one now, but I think you could comment on a video from two years ago and he might see it and reply.
