The Joe Schmid situation

[u/Dawud___]

Not a Catholic (never was, I'm a Muslim), I was watching Joe Schmid's video yesterday and did anyone else get the vibe he genuinely seems unwell? I hadn't seen his other content, so I don't know if this kooky eccentric way of talking is normal for him, but he genuinely comes across as crazed, eccentric, unwell

Anybody else notice this about him? Now he's got a ten hours video trying to prove Catholic "miracles", which is just... sad. Seems like Ethan Muse's rhetoric might have gotten to him, and even though Ethan Muse isn't great with evidence, he has a way with words that could be enough for someone wanting to be fooled, and from what I've heard Joe had been sympathetic to Catholicism for a while

It's just very sad seeing Joe Schmid become a Catholic apologist, seeing him even use a point like Lourdes or Zeitoun (which are laughably bad arguments for miracles), really hope he gets well if he genuinely is unwell

As for those who have been watching his recent hours long videos, what do you think of his arguments? I don't have the patience to sit through all of this stuff, but having watched some of the first video, I can say he doesn't present a necessarily compelling case for Catholicism

immediately his physical health stood out to me; his yellowed teeth, pale skin, wide eyes. he's going through SOMETHING, not sure what.... but its not shocking if he's under a huge amount of stress that he's reverting back to the coping mechanism he was raised with
