  How My ADHD Made Me a Religious Extremist: From Joining Catholic Cults to Starting Medication This Year (Responding to Matt Walsh)

  Sep 1, 202638 min

  DISCLAIMER : None of today's video should be used as medical advice. I am not a doctor, nor do I have any degrees in psychology/medication/etc. Only take medication under the supervision of a licensed medical provider. After being diagnosed with ADHD and spending the past year on medication, I've started looking very differently at my years in traditional Catholicism, my love of religious debates, and even the way I built this YouTube channel. Matt Walsh recently commented that 'psychiatry has done nothing for us,' and I use that clip as a jumping off point in today's video. In this video, I explore my hypothesis that ideological conflict can sometimes function as stimulation for an ADHD brain. I talk about how Catholic ritual and structure genuinely helped me manage symptoms I didn't yet understand, why I kept gravitating toward increasingly extreme religious positions, and why confrontation became such a powerful source of stimulation for me. I also share, for the first time, my experience taking ADHD medication: the fears I had about medication, masculinity, addiction, and changing my personality—and what actually happened after a year of treatment. 00:00 - 1: Introduction 01:54 - Outline 02:09 - Disclaimers 03:02 - 2: What Does An ADHD Brain Look Like? 08:19 - 3: Why ADHD'ers Self-Medicate With Stimuli 10:29 - 4: My Hypothesis: Extremism As Self Medication 16:09 - 5: How Catholicism 'Helped' My ADHD 21:29 - 6: ADHD As An Atheist YouTuber 22:50 - 7: How I Got on ADHD Medication 32:24 - 8.1: How Meds Have Changed Me 34:45 - 8.2: What Meds Mean for My Channel 36:21 - 9: Meds Aren't Perfect To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

  Catholic Apologist Accidentally Makes The Case for Secular Morality: Reacting to Brian Holdsworth

  Aug 26, 20261h 10m

  In this episode, Colin and I react to Brian Holdsworth's video "I'm Not Strong Enough to Be an Atheist." We unpack his portrayal of atheism through John Lennon and Nietzsche, discuss whether morality really requires God, and examine where we think his arguments miss the mark. Along the way we talk about humanism, socialism, religion, objective morality, Catholic apologetics, and what life after faith actually looks like. If you've ever wondered whether atheism inevitably leads to nihilism—or whether that's a false choice—this conversation is for you. 00:00 Back for Another Episode 02:00 Two Kinds of Atheism Setup 08:36 Commons Dilemma and Human Nature 10:42 Socialism and Incentives Pushback 17:55 Nietzsche and Moral Foundations 21:56 Objective Morality Debate 27:45 Master Morality and Power 31:58 Young Men and Nietzsche’s Appeal 34:32 Christianity vs Power Structures 38:06 No True Catholicism 42:34 Atheism Without Heroes 47:24 ADA and Mutual Benefit 48:46 Where Is the Thesis 49:37 Crusades and Contradictions 50:36 Nietzsche Illness as Gotcha 54:49 Capitalism and Collective Care To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

  Atheists, Here's How to Treat Joe Schmid After He Reverted to Catholicism.

  Aug 24, 202617 min

  Joe Schmid from ⁨@MajestyofReason⁩ announced that he has returned to Catholicism. As an agnostic/atheist YouTuber who left catholicism, I’ve been thinking about how people should respond when someone leaves their religious or ideological group. In this video, I lay out my “Ten Commandments” for responding to someone whose beliefs have changed. Drawing from my own experience leaving Catholicism and coming out, I talk about listening before arguing, taking people’s stated reasons seriously, respecting their autonomy, avoiding tribal “wins” and “losses,” and remembering that a person is always more important than the culture war surrounding them. I’ll have plenty to say about Joe’s arguments for Catholicism in future videos. But before we debate his reasons, I think atheists, Catholics, and everyone else should remember how to treat the person making the decision. 00:00 Joe Schmid Converts 01:06 1: Keep the Person First 02:57 2: Accept Change 04:43 3: Listen Twice 06:17 4: Define Words 07:43 5: Trust Reasons 09:03 6: Limited Knowledge 10:33 7:Lead With Empathy 11:22 8: Respect Autonomy 12:43 9: Stay Connected 14:47 10: Process Privately 16:04 My Next Video To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

  Ex-Priest Psychologist: The Hidden Psychology After Coming Out as LGBT

  Aug 19, 20261h 7m

  Coming out is often portrayed as the happy ending—but for many people, it's only the beginning. In this conversation with former Catholic priest and licensed therapist Danny Peterson, we explore why so many LGBTQ people who come out later in life feel like they're reliving adolescence as adults. We discuss religious trauma, dating, therapy, identity, relationships, extended adolescence, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and what happens after the excitement of coming out fades into ordinary life. We also talk about why relationships don't magically become easy, why many people search for gurus or simple answers after leaving religion, and how learning to tolerate uncertainty can become one of the healthiest parts of healing. 00:00 From Priest to Therapist 03:55 Extended Adolescence Explained 09:52 Healthy Coming Out Skills 13:13 Values and Red Flags 18:09 Sex vs Relationship First 20:59 Finding Mentors and Community 28:21 The Coming Out Paradox 33:38 ACT and Moving Forward 41:30 Facing Hard Truths 46:42 Ditching Gurus Dogma 53:40 Therapy Expectations Reality 57:41 Allyship Religion Safeguards 01:00:16 Finding A Therapist 01:04:15 Private Practice Wrap Up To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.

  Why Anti-Gay Catholic Arguments Assume Everyone is Bisexual

  Aug 12, 20261h 16m

  In this episode, Colin and I react to Brian Holdsworth's video asking whether "gay priests" are even a real thing. What starts as a discussion about labels quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about sexual orientation, Catholic theology, history, identity, and how the Church talks about same-sex attraction. We unpack the arguments, examine where we think the reasoning breaks down, and discuss why language matters when talking about real people. Along the way we dive into Pope Francis' comments on seminaries, the 2005 Vatican instruction on admitting men with same-sex attraction to the priesthood, ancient Greek sexuality, bisexuality, orientation, and why analogies don't always prove what people think they prove. 00:00 Pride Month Banter 01:06 Reacting to Brian Holdsworth 03:09 Pope Francis Quote Fallout 05:13 Ancient Rome Was Gay 08:20 Labels and Orientation Debate 13:54 Appetites and Identity Claim 17:49 Catholic Analogy Time 22:17 Cravings vs Human Love 25:04 Appetites Make You Gayer 31:55 Short Term Hookups Critique 35:46 Dehumanizing the Gay Label 38:15 Labels and Identity Sprawl 38:52 Paradox of Tolerance Rant 39:51 Honorary Gender Studies 40:38 Dodging the Priest Question 41:16 Chastity vs Gay Label 42:29 Church Policy Contradictions 44:29 Food and Gluttony Analogy 46:50 Spectrum and Ancient World 51:31 Frauds and Sacraments 55:10 Title Not Description Confusion 57:00 Trad Conspiracy Briefcase 01:00:02 Sponsor Break Real Estate 01:01:15 Why Labels Help Research 01:07:29 Why So Many Gay Priests 01:10:50 Growing Up Without Language 01:15:47 Landing the Plane Conclusion To join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextrad To be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.
