Просмотров 1,5 тыс.День назад
In this video, we explore the extraordinary Christmas Truce of 1914, a moment during World War I when opposing soldiers laid down their weapons and embraced their shared humanity. Through carols, gifts, and even a friendly soccer game in the middle of no man's land, the soldiers showed that compassion and unity can shine even in the darkest of times. This inspiring story reminds us that the ess...
Why the Atonement is Hurting, Not Helping Us
Просмотров 7 тыс.14 дней назад
This video challenges one of the core tenets of Christianity: the concept of atonement. By exploring the historical evolution of scapegoating, from ancient sacrificial rituals to modern theological interpretations, I reveal how the idea of Jesus dying for our sins has caused more harm than good. Drawing connections to social and psychological consequences, I explain why externalizing guilt and ...

You create gods by writing fictions. You play the role of god by analyzing of these fictions. You create religions by telling others about your analysis. Before the alphabet was available, priests were required to keep the stories alive. We exist at a time when we are ruled by literature, after the alphabet.
the "divine feminine" is just repacked patriarchal femininity
Christmas is pagan 100 percent fact
Preach it Sista!❤ I'm a Anti Dogma Follower of Good Jesus, etc ADFOGJE Here's my overarching "Biblical" advice to all religious endeavors- Rom 12:9 Adhor that which is Evil, clever to that which is Good. The challenge is using your Brain and Heart to determine what is Good and Evil to YOU!
Great work young lady. Keep it up.
I love my religion but if that ever changes, I now know where to go for help. Thanks for your insights.
The problem with this video is that while people who claim to be "prophets" who can occasionally see into the future need to be taken with a Huge pinch of salt. .there are however hundreds of documented cases of ordinary people having dreams of the future that later came true - premonition dreams. For example the guy who had recurring dreams of the plane crash that happened in Chicago in 1979. Very hard to debunk that seeing that a Federal aviation official confirmed that the guy phoned him the day before the crash to tell him about the recurring dreams. Good luck with debunking that one😂.
It's true what they say, that there is no objectively valid reason to be convinced that God or gods exist.
What a shitty and pathetically codependent way of thinking. This is not a video about of god is dead, it's about how tough life is entry you're no longer in a cult.
Seven nos but three maybes. What does what mean?
Excellent information.
Christianity is a very traumatizing worldview and view of self. I've had religious trauma for 12 years and it's a hard belief system to shake.
Where does consciousness come from and the subconscious? Science does not have a good explanation to where consciousness comes from?
We just had an election that showed us just how much we value "truth". That is to say we value it lower than dog 💩
Wait, people like this movie? Yikes
Main stream video with half truths
Thank you so much for making this video. I always saw problems with the logic in Romans chapter 3 where these atonement theories largely come from, but I could never put in into words like you did. Question though: penal substitution sounds very similar to the Satisfaction theory. What makes them different?
I deconstructed decades ago, but I still miss singing the LDS hymns.
Speaker Johnson in a nutshell! Said he’s the new Moses n he speaks with god!
“Determined “ by RS very good. Really no free will.
Britt, can we look to how Europeans adapted to more secular societies for guidance? Growing up (especially in evangelical churches), I always heard so much about atheism taking hold in various parts of Europe post WWII. And it's my understanding that most Europeans are still fairly removed from religion, so how did THEY adapt?
This is one of your best videos
I attended a religious school, and I think it was around the tender age of 11 or so, I saw a Hollywood film depiction of the story of Moses, and I remember being quite moved by a scene in which they depicted a man being pelted to death with rocks for gathering wood on Saturday, and that might have been the first moment I felt doubt about my "faith". It was around the same time that I experienced George Carlin's "Religion is Bullshit" discourse in which he highlighted the absurdity of a "loving" god torturing people forever. I've known that empathy and compassion and truth-seeking have been core values of mine for a very long time, and perhaps my anti-authoritarianism springs from my early experiences as a neurodivergent child bewildered by the neurotypical adults in "authority" positions who criticized and punished me. Fuck those people 🙂 Also, I've been reading *Wild Mercy* that you've extensively quoted and I've been thrilled with the variety of perspectives that it has exposed me to, so thanks for this recommendation!
be here now do no harm help others be still close eyes listen to your breathing.
Excellent 👍🏼 I find mindfulness meditation helps greatly 😊
Britt, have you ever looked into the seers of Medjugorji and the church's response to them?
Incredible info and I didn't know i needed this more ! Thanks so much. I always thought it was a delusion. Happy knowing it is a thing.
I fear an entire society of nihilism and moral relativism that Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky predicted. I don’t fear an individual ethical atheist living within a Christian society

We are dream manifesting machines!
The inquistors: you claim to speak to God, but it's only your imagination Joan of Arc: of course! How else would God speak to me, if not through my imagination?
What are your thoughts on affirmations in lieu of prayer? Personally, neither have really gotten me my desires but they've become rituals now
You don't believe in free will? Please explain
Women, I believe, are just naturally more spiritual than men. That's why women are labeled as witches so quickly.
I never noticed that in the movie. I still like the movie but understand your view.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. You're doing a great service of people to wake up..
I was by and large with you until you said "do Yoga".
This an excellent breakdown with real world solutions! Great examples of how atonement is used by Christians👍🏾
Religion is probably one of the hardest things to shake. You will lose so many relationships and so many social bonds tether you to faith without you even knowing it. It is like kicking an addiction.
This is such a mature way to deconstruct and rebuild. I wish I had your videos years ago.
Hoshea Son of Nun > Yehoshu'a (Jesus) Son of Nun Try reading the House of Israel's "Story of Joshua" side-by-side the House of Judah's "Book of Joshua". It's like seeing the true and false messiah side-by-side.
If religious people are happy and at peace being religious, I don't understand why they'd want to click on a video like this, let alone comment on it. They can just continue enjoying their religious activities. 🤷🏼♀️
Your definition of the word "spirituality" as "connection and awe" -- that's the first definition I've heard that has resonated with me.
There's so much valuable wisdom in this video! I was nodding almost the whole time!
seems like you're still having a very hard time coping with losing your religion. I'm lucky in that although I was willing to die for a Christian faith for 40 years I didn't really know what was in the Bible and we very rarely went to church So once I did start attending church regularly when I was about 37 or 38 I found out what was actually in it and that led to lots of moral questions about the Old Testament God.. that the pastors at my church and a few other pastors in town I met with couldn't answer, so I told my church I was gonna take a hiatus and do some studying myself And within six months the floor already fell out from underneath me and I was 100% an atheist, there's no going back because I can't change reality to make those god's real I had no desire to be an atheist never even knew it possible yet here I am. Hell I even made and kept a seven year celibacy covenant with God after I had a child out of wedlock thinking about generational punishment and how God could hurt my kid for it) Luckily I've never been much of an emotional person so switching from Christianity to atheism was like flipping a switch, had to rethink a few things "social issues"but that's about it (I was actually relieved in that obviously this God isn't gonna ever punish my kid for my sins because the God doesn't exist. So it was easy Peezy for me to walk away
Stoicism is masculinity. Expecting it to appeal to women, especially feminine women is like giving a sheep a steak to eat. Not gonna happen. Stoicism doesnt need women and women, by and large, dont need stoicism.
I grew up on a farm, and until I entered school in the first grade, I didn't know people lied. I was really upset, and my mother had to sit me down and explain this. I have told people about this at times in my life, and most of them did not believe me. I was not taught that Santa, the Easter Bunny and Halloween Ghost were real.
I finally admitted to myself that my father was nihilistically depressed. Severely. He was also my best friend. He died of a heart attack 3 years ago after neglecting himself to death. I miss him. I've also dealt with depression and PTSD for most of my life. Now that I'm a grandmother, I'm taking serious steps to save my own daughter from the pain I've felt. So far, she has not had any depressive episodes. I hope I've helped break the cycle that I was born into. I wish my dad had tried mushrooms or any alternative therapy.
I wish I had discovered this info five years ago. I’m on the other side, but it was a tough journey.
