Power Corrupts (Part 1)

Please consider supporting my work through Patreon here: http://www.patreon.com/DarkMatter2525 No mind - no matter how powerful - could ever honestly claim to be free from deception, or unknown unknowns. Episode 2 "Where No God Treads": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocgZaDmvYPw The problem with using the bible as "proof" of God’s existence and nature, is that even if all the events within its pages actually occurred, it could still not prove God for the simple reason this video points out: God might not be the God you think He is, or even the God He thinks He is. The most likely scenario, however, is that He is a construct of the people. Man created God in his image. Try to watch this video in HD if you can. It makes a huge difference. Some critiques deserve answers. I'll do that at the bottom of this description. This video is the pilot episode of “Power Corrupts”. Whether or not I make any more episodes, and eventually seasons, will largely be determined by you. I will consider this video’s view count, rating, and comments when making my decision to continue or not. Thanks for watching! Please share it with others if you enjoyed it.

My response is that in our daily activities, we usually need not actually recall the memories that factored into those activities. You know the alphabet, for instance, but how well do you remember learning it, and need you recall those memories in order to read these words? This is why, in the cartoon, I leave the subconscious intact. Of course, this is entirely fictional, and as the professor said "all CURRENT memories" will be removed, so by "current" perhaps that could mean anything that would hinder the perception of godhood, like the knowledge that you're being tested. Another interesting point is that power doesn't actually corrupt, it accentuates, makes you more of who you are. I don't really have a response to this other than "power corrupts" is a bit of a saying and in this case the semantics seem negligible, seeing as how the purpose of the test would remain intact. In either interpretation, they're trying to find out "who Yahweh really is". #PowerCorrupts DarkMatter2525
