CASSANDRA GORGAN, thinking does not equal "Amen." Thinking is when you explore for yourself and determine your own answers whether or not your pastor or fellow church members agree with you
One of the biggest lesson's i've learned in life is that being religious does NOT make you a good or even decent human being. Unfortunately some of the scummiest people i've ever had the displeasure of meeting have also been some of the most religious people i've ever encountered.
NikitaRoqueSox , As someone who grew up being put into a private Christian school, I strongly agree. This is why I have to disagree with Jaclyn on the issue of religious administration and systems in even private schools. A lot of teachers abuse their power enough as it is over their students, but I can confirm it's much worse when the religious bullshit reasoning is thrown in. I think it should be illegal in private schools as well. It's bad enough those kids have to put up with that at their homes and churches.
NikitaRoqueSox There are shit atheists and shit religious people, as well as shit people from any race. They should just simply be labeled “shitty people”. ^_^
I actually had a friend that constantly bashed atheism. I first met him in 7th grade and we've been good friends since then, about 3 years. The other day I finally mentioned I was an atheist after his constant bashing of the group. You know what he said? "Well, my parents don't let me be friends with anyone that isn't Christian. But I won't tell them." We're still good friends to this day :D
Sounds like a couple of people at my church. They're oddballs but I don't mind hanging out with them, but constant brainwashing from the youth pastor has them believing that atheists have no morals, want to believe god doesn't exist, homosexuals are all going to burn in Hell and are disgusting people, etc. Just today them and the youth pastor were going on a a little circlejerk about how atheists apparently have no moral compass because evolution teaches that the strongest survive and so it's not wrong to an atheist to kill someone and I wanted to come out as atheist and call them out on their bullshit so bad. I was so close to losing my temper. The pastor also started going on a conspiracy about how the government passed a bill that lets them microchip people (which didn't even happen) and that it's the mark of the beast and that the end is coming along with World War 3. I am extremely worried about the future of the indoctrinated kids in there with me.
ya and the people that tell you this probably all know at least one person that manged to pray their health problems away... glad to see that you decided to use our brain and take control over things that are in your control-instead of hoping for things to just go away by praying hard enough.
Your sister from another mister omg same. Okay, you'll probably get a kick out of how awkward this situation I once ended up in, was: I was at my son's school for their winter holiday assembly, and one of his friend's moms (who was ridiculously religious, albeit well meaning) asked if she could pray for me. Not wanting to offend her, I said sure. Oh boy did I regret that quickly. She proceeded to bend over me (I need a wheelchair to get around these days) she put her hands on my knees, and she closed her eyes, she started swaying and rambling in her first language (I have no idea what it was, and I'm multilingual, so not English, French, Spanish, nor German, and I can also recognize Japanese, Chinese (although I don't know the difference between the different Chinese languages) and Korean, and it wasn't something Slavic. I'm thinking an Indian or African language... Idk. Anyway, I just squirmed in my chair. My hubby had gone to get my son, and his school doesn't have an elevator, so he just left me alone. My illness (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) also affects my arms, so I was stuck there. I also am the kind of person who would sooner spontaneously combust than be rude. *BUT* if that wasn't bad enough, she told me to say *amen* after every time she said it. It was so awkward that I just peeped it out to get it overwith. It felt like we were like that for years. But finally she told me that as long as I continued to let Jesus into my life, I would be healed... OH! Thanks lady! Why didn't I think of that during my 33 years of life, 10 or so, of which, I spent belonging to 3, and studying 5 other, religions; before just giving up because they all seemed so unrealistic. But yes! Jesus! Wow. I never would have tried that... cause you know, I don't want to try whatever I can to get better. *rolls eyes* I'm such a skeptic, the placebo effect doesn't even work on me. Edit: I'M FREAKING CANADIAN! (Cause if I were American, I'd probably be used to this crap by now lol)
One time I told this old woman I was an atheist. She then asked me if I was raped. I said no. Then she asked what horrible thing must of happened to me to make me not trust in Jesus. All I said is I grew up and left childish myths behind.
PattyGirl indeed. Her husband nearly assaulted me for "blasphemy" Glad my friend was their with his gun otherwise I fear I might of had a fight on my hands.
isn't that really showing how bad her relationship to jesus is? she never saw that person, only knows there's a book with certain questionable stories-yet she so strongly insists that you CANNOT leave the idea of god behind you unless something traumatizing happened .
What if the bible was created as a practical joke by a few high dudes? I bet if there was an afterlife, they would be loosing their shit looking at how far it went.
KatieeElmore Catholic Church is a Company and they decide what they stand for.... Its a FACT that all poor parents who could not afford education/food to their children that they would go to School to get education.... While meanwhile your dictators did not care about their people... And every company who gets more power will get curropted one way or another.... You can stop Evil People...
KatieeElmore yeah false religion is dangerous, but all human being are evil. So I'm not surprised. Good thing God created us with a conscience to tell us what is good.
Pretty much all atheist will just look towards the Catholic Church and just say that pretty much sums up the entire Christian denominations. *yawn* you atheist bring up the same arguments regardless if they've been debunked
Someone in my class said to my Jewish teacher "how do you remember to be a good person if you don't believe in hell?" And I yelled "BECAUSE SHES A GOOD PERSON. " Christians need the threat of hell or the promise of heaven to be a good person? They can't just be a good person to be a good person. So small minded.
Tori R Well Jesus was a Jew who helped & healed all sick/poor people in region isreal/paletina and he broke the jewish laws by helping people on a Sabbath wich was a insults for the Jewish Pharisees that they order the romans to kill Jesus..... So i tell you who is worser the one who helps or the one who decideds to kill according by a Law? Btw it was even illigal to kill according to Jewish Laws and yet The Pharisees killed Jesus....
Jefke Theboss um everything you just said is make believe, so any answer to your question (which is pretty irrelevant to my original comment) would be pointless..
Christians don’t need the threat of hell or the promise of heaven to be a good person. Where did you get that idea from? If a person is a Christian. A real Christian. They do things to please God because they love Him. They do it out of want to please Him. I love Jesus and I do things out of love for Him. Good things. Which people would consider factors into being a good person. It’s tricky to explain but I hope I did my best.
Tori R Let me ask you this us Christian's believe in an after life(as in we have hope for something better)you athiest's believe in nothing (as in you have no hope for anything) why not have hope huh?
Zzzzzz... I don’t really blindly accept it I take the claims of moral principles and try to see if there’s any reasoning behind it don’t just take it straight out of the book
So another just quick question. Again, I am not trying to attack Christians, just curious as I stated earlier. Anyways, my question is: Do you ever not follow something the bible says if you think it is questionable or wrong morally?
Zzzzzz... We do follow everything in the New Testament not in the Old Testament where any of the “violence” was happening. And because the Bible is so old there are parts that are not look at deeply, an example is when it comes to roles in society ( but that depends on your churches view of those rules, an example would be women leading the church, some would say “no the Bible says...” and some would say “yes because...” ). I do hope this answers your question and doesn’t give you any wrong Ideas if you have any more questions feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my ability 😁
I think I'm gonna start being more of an open atheist. Maybe not in your face about it, but I feel like it should be something that I can bring up during a conversation with people who do believe in god.
I do the same, make sure to bring it up more whenever this type of bullshit or misconceptions of us is mentioned. I always respond to people who say atheists aren't moral with "Atheism isn't immoral, people are."
God in the bible sanctions slavery, says parents can stone their children to death and ordered the mass murder of thousands of innocent people and said they could keep the virgins for themselves. The bible or any religion for that matter is not a good moral compass. People are not moral because they read their bible, if they really did they would not be moral. People are moral because we as a society recognize what benefits us as a whole. How do I know it's wrong to murder another person? I don't know really but I do know that it causes damage to our society and I myself would not want to be murdered, that is all we need to know. People do not get their morals from god or religion, they are attributing their morals to their religion in a desperate attempt to make religion justified. The reality is that religion is not only contradicted by massive amounts of scientific facts, it is also a immoral system and it's so sad that people have been so brainwashed by it that they are willing to throw away their humanity in order to appeal to an imaginary man in the sky.
As long as you're confident that the people around you won't try and Lynch you. I know If I brought it up near my grandmas side of the family then it would just be chaos
Morals existed before religion. Check out Plato Aristotle Chinese Philosophers. I still believe in something like God but not the way it is conceived in the Bible. People use the Bible how they want to use it.
Lol it's logic because if morals was good given by Bible . Then why tf Japanese are murdering themselves . As far as I know only religious people r killing more
Im sorry but if your pick and choose what parts of the bible you belive in , you might as well not even read the book Thats like beliving harry potter is a wizard but not wanting to belive he went to Hogwarts
each book has important lessons... Even Harry Potter. that doesn't mean you have to assume you can fly on a broom, but even there we learned important stuff. the thing is that there's also a downside which we should be aware about.
What im trying to say is you have chosen to belive in literature written thousands of years ago and are told to follow your life according to it you cant pick and choose what to follow or then there isnt any point. it says to stone gays for being gay although you can actively choose not to do that (hopefully you do) just know that you going against "gods word" and thats immoral
This is an interesting comment(and I completely agree with it)I’m just gonna add on. I recently realized that more often than not, those who are a religion haven’t finished the Bible, they haven’t read it in its entirety(if you have and you are still religious, power to you) but those who have read it in its entirety and know what the Bible teaches are usually agnostic or atheists, now that is not to say that is always the case, but that is what I have noticed in my area of the world and also on the corners of the internet I hang out on. I guess ignorance really is bliss...
I'm a "spiritual" type person. I have I guess Christian beliefs and it works for me. I'm a preacher's kid and grandkid. I also have friends and family, my youngest daughter for one, who are atheist. I can say in my personal experience, the alleged Christians are far more lacking in morals than any atheist I've ever known. Your spiritual beliefs are not a matter of law. They don't belong in front of any other belief. If it's about morals alone, Christians need to realize that organized religion is full of hypocrisy and it's created by people to divide and conquer. I LOVE the separation of church and state. I don't want religion in my government and I damn sure don't want the government in my beliefs. Sadly, religion often closes minds which in turn closes your heart. The only thing scarier than an atheist?? A Bible waving sheep
Organized religion is a system of control but also a signaling system, to signal that you are a "moral" person to other members, in the goal of producing viable offspring. Just like why you don't run around naked in public even when there is no rational reason, just to signal that you are a sane person and not a danger. It has nothing to do with truth. I don't believe in absolute moral truths but I do believe that truth is important for morals.
I believe in Jesus and all that. BUT those ladies are a perfect example as to why most of my friends are Atheist. A lot of Christians tend to be very close minded to other people and their points of view and just assume they are always right and the greatest people alive, and that pisses me off. My atheist friends know I’m religious, and they don’t care if I pray around them, and as well I don’t try to force him to pray with me, because I know they don’t want to. We understand each other and accept each other for who we are and that’s what important. All these “Christians” who want to say I follow the Jesus; and then go out and judge others based on their lives or beliefs contradict themselves. To me, i think being Christian doesn’t give you special rights to judge others, who are you to say what’s wrong or right? Besides I also don’t believe God hates anyone, I don’t think you go to hell for everything people say you do. If He made us and knew we’d sin, why would he send us to an eternity of pain for something he planned? No, I don’t believe that bullshit. I understand you’d go to hell if you abuse, rape, molest, or murder; you are damaging and or ending a human life and that’s just not human. I think Christianity sees God as vengeful and mean, and hateful, and I won’t be a part of it. I don’t care if you are religious, Atheist, Black, white, Latino, Asian, straight, gay, bi, etc. As long as you are humbled, speak positively, and have a kind heart, you’re good in my book!
Stirgid Lanathiel I understand what you’re saying, and I appreciate your feedback. You’re right in fact, the Atheists I know don’t believe simply because there isn’t enough evidence God exists, and I understand that completely. I know Atheists aren’t who they are because they are scared off. I understand y’all just want proof, and yeah there ain’t any physical proof God exists. That’s why I won’t judge anybody who is Atheist, cause y’all have a valid point. In fact I don’t judge anyone on their point of view, you being Atheist doesn’t have anything to do with me, so who am I to judge you. Same as me being religious, it doesn’t hurt my friends, so they respect my point of view. If more people thought this way, the world would be a much better place in my opinion, live and let live you know? I just personally see God in the environment around me, in the things he does, But I digress. I’m tired of Atheists and Christians always fighting on the Internet, most of it is started by Christians, and it’s sickening. Who cares what someone believes, as long as you’re a good kind hearted person, that should be enough!
I know it may be hard, but but try not to judge the Bible based on the actions of people who claim to follow it. If 10 people were given a computer manual and 8 people don't apply what's in it you wouldn't couldn't that the manual is wrong would you? If you're suspicious that the manual might actually be wrong, it would be wise to study the manual, separate from the actions of those who claim to follow it.
@Ramza yea and if that manual said clicking power button improved the speed of your computer and it actually turns it off? if it says moving mouse to the left will move it right on the screen? then it says there was a guy who clicked enter on the keyboard and his computer became 1000 times faster but there is no way of knowing if thats true you just gotta believe. would you still take that manual seriously?
If there is a person who's never read the manual who claims it's providing blatantly wrong directions and if a person who's read the manual helps you understand the manual and explains the meaning of the manual, I'd listen to the latter person.
so if a person actually knows about computers and then reads the manual and he knows whats wrong and whats right in the manual cause he actually knows all of that without manual, then he tells you and you listen to him. you dont see the problem with that? yeah he might tell you everything correctly, but he's not telling you any of it cause of the manual, he's telling you cause he knows himself, he simply references the manual just for the topics not the actual meaning or ways of doing it. thats literally what most of you do, you read the bible cherry pick what you like and then call yourselves christian, when the matter of fact is you're just choosing what to believe which is not really called being christian, its actually better than that cause u're dismissing lots of horrible things, but its just silly, if you dont believe 100% of the bible then u're contradicting yourself, if bible was wrote by god and he's 100% perfect and knows everything he would've never made any mistakes, bible would be 100% accurate, if it has even 1 mistake that already makes all of it pretty much improbable, while it actually has maybe half of it wrong which should tell any sane person with a bit of a thinking power that its all bullshit, just live your life be who you are, you dont need god to tell you who you are supposed to be, i'm atheist and what i love the most in this life is making others happy, literally thats the number 1 thing that makes me happy, i dont need god for that and you neither, religion doesnt do much good, most of the good comes from the people itself, most people get from religion is just bad shit, they think that they're doing good and being good because of religion, but in reality they're just good and they just do good cause they want to but then give credits to god/religion. i'm sorry English is my 3rd language and i'm horrible with punctuation and stuff. i hope its readable. i also hope you'll think about this, get that religion out of your life be a better person without it and live your life fullest, cause sadly its the only life you have, just like its the only life everyone else has and thats the reason you should try to help them enjoy it as much as you enjoy it. THATS why you should be a good person and help others not because u're afraid that some asshole in the sky will send you to hell if you dont, that just makes you a horrible person.
Mathijs Droge I can already see it "what atheists are tired of hearing" lmfao and maybe it would also concentrate on how people say that atheists have no morals?????? SO ORIGINAL BITCH I'M CRYING ALREADY
JaclynGlenn honestly, I would (as an Atheist) be happy if buzzfeed did steal this. I don't want them to steal anything from you, but this kind of message would be better spread than your fun series about being a skeptic.
I live in the netherlands and i am a Atheist since birth, and it really suprises me that being ''non-religous'' is still kinda a issue all arround the world, but am not that suprised from the united states. since i know most people in the states are religous, and the biggest part of that is christian, and there version of being a christian is matching the ones from england between 1600-1700. So i suggest to just let natural selection do its work, its a problem that will fix itself over time.
It has always been my experience that the Christians who are the most vocal about their beliefs and judgmental of others beliefs are some of the worst human beings I have ever met.
Hellberg: what makes them bad? Their willful self-indulgent behavior! What do you mean? Their hidden criminality and narcissism. Their willingness to impose their own wills upon other people whether it hurts them is irrelevant to these kind of self-righteous people. Many of them PREFER it hurts other people--that's a hallmark of evil. MANY religious people just LOVE to hurt other people.
Hellberg exe The fact that they go to church a few days a week ,And feel the need to tell people they're going to hell and deserve it if they don't accept Jesus, While some of them have sex outside of marriage like most people Drink ,Smoke ,etc ....
Tom Paros: of course that's true. But being a "good Christian" sometimes isn't necessarily being a good person if that means not threatening others with sad predictions of hell and the end of the earth. Of course you kept your morals when you became an atheist. Why would you get worse because you gave up believing in things that cannot be proven? I'm glad to hear that you identify as moral and good; always great to know there's a decent person out there.
@JaclynGlenn I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me so much! I live in a predominately mormon state, and was raised very LDS. I went through the same thing as you, where I was looking for that connection or belief, and never found it. I was afraid to identify as an atheist, until I started watching your videos! :) I understand atheism SO much more, and am proud to say I’m an Athiest and a damn good person as well. I will stand up for what I believe now. You are helping people like me that feel like a complete outcast in a very religious place, know that they are NOT alone in the way they feel. That there is NOT something wrong with them! I am teary eyed writing this because it is a relief to not have to try and hide who I am, but instead be proud of it and do the best I can to be the best person I can be. Its Amazing the effect on my life just a handful of videos have had! Thank you SO MUCH for doing what you are doing!
Riley Hansen I relate to this comment quite a bit. I grew up (am still i guess) in a very LDS family and just never felt what everyone was talking about. I seemed to found so many inconsistencies and things that just didnt seem logical at all. I stumbled across jaclyns channel and it has helped me so much in recognizing that im not alone in my thoughts lol. I realized the reason i had a hard time letting these things go is bc they have been inbedded in me since i was born. I still say oh my gosh and not god lol. unfortunately im still learning to be confident enough to tell people my beliefs.Just because my dad, still very much so shoves this down my throat and I have a hard time in being firm with him. Im still learning to be proud and confident in being atheist, im pretty scared to be outspoken just bc im sure ill get my crazy family and their crazy debates over it. I dunno if that makes sense but yeah.
Mint, someone claiming to do something in the name of Jesus, doesn't mean that they are Christians. The Crusades was not done for Jesus because it defied the very ideals that Jesus stood for. Jesus said "love your neighbor"; He certainly did not say that it is okay to to kill your neighbor. Justifying the Cdusades with the Bible is like saying that you can love the Earth by littering--it doesn't work; so even if it was a terrible act done by Christians, they're actiiona cannot be justified by the religion they professed. I wanted to point that out because it sounds like you're blaming their actions on religion, when in reality, it's just human nature. Human beings can make irrational and impulsive decisions. It's unfair to say that because of religion, people do bad things.
Kaylee, religion does not bring blood--people do. I already explained that the Crusades was not an act based on the Bible; it was an act based on someone's selfish intent. Not all people who claim to profess Christianity are really Christians.
There are just good and bad people. It is only an issue when ideologies (religion especially) come into the picture, which can make a good person do bad things.
I get my morals from the bible. And I'm a wonderful person. I own slaves but they are Jews so I will let them go after seven years. Don't wanna disobey the lord.
Where in the bible does it mention slaves? Kjv says bondservent. When people were poor they'd sell themselves into Labour to earn money for their family. Not slave bondservent.
A lot of these hypochristian fundies love to wear the good guy badge, while pointing their fingers at skeptics, because it makes them feel better about their own so called sins. It makes them feel superior. “I can do anything I want because I have Jesus in my life, but you...even if you lived a good life, will go to Hell because you don’t believe.”
Mike Carter wrote "It makes them feel superior." It's a symptom of the mental disorder knownn as "paranoid schizophrenia" Just check wikipedia, it fits almost 100%
Mike Carter I'm Christian... and Why cant u be a man and tell them they are hypocrites? They are humans just like you and they can't judge you because according to The Bible only God or Jesus will judge and even Jesus said in bible more then 100 times to love everybody and dont do evil against them..... its funny how Atheist are feeling treated bad by Christians while in Europe its the other way around lol.... I dont mind it...
I am a conservative Republican and a Christian and I agree with everything you said. My beliefs might differ from yours but I would never suggest that you couldn't possibly be a good person just because you are an atheist. My beliefs work for me and yours work for you. Awesome. And please don't think that Laura Ingram speaks for all Christians. She is a nutjob. Brian Kilmeade is rarely the voice of reason on Fox News but in this case he certainly was trying to be.
Atheism recognizes that human beings can intrinsically care about others and care about doing the right thing. We don’t need to be scared into doing it.
Irene Haralabatos hello ma'am. You included the word "can" in your post. "Can" is to be able to do something or know how to do something. Knowing how to do good or being capable of doing good is not an atheistic concept, it is Biblical. It is also not reserved for Christians alone, but is for everybody. Read Genesis 3:1-7 when you have the time to do so, I believe that it will help you. GOD bless.
Glad 2 Help The "good" according to your bible : 1 Samuel 15:2-3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but *slay both man and woman, infant and suckling* , ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Seishiro Sakurazuka You see this is what I am talking about. You mention 1 Samuel 15: 2-3, but when quoting the Scriptures, you intentionally included an ellipsis, the three dots that are used to omit words and sentences from a text. Now why would you go and omit from your post the very reason why GOD declared judgment upon Amalek? Is it possible that you were trying to alter the essence of the message of the Scriptures to fit your idea of Who GOD is? Is it possible that you just want GOD to be evil? Well HE isn't evil, GOD is good. Even if you don't want to live for GOD, at least be honest and declare the "whole" message of what is being said, and not just your own personal opinion based upon your dislike of GOD. If you understood who the ancient Amalekites were and what they used to do, you would not have chosen those Scriptures to post in a facetious way. GOD bless.
I just wrote a scholarship essay on morality without religion and the Freedom From Religion Foundation published me in the October issue of Free thought Today and I won $200 😀
Henry Dalcke atheism does not include anything about origins. atheism describes lack of belief in a god or gods, nothing more nothing less. there are atheistic religions, such as buddhism or shinto, an atheist can believe in spirits or soul or rebirth, an atheist can believe in ghosts, telepathy, telekinesis, dragons, magic, wichcraft, an atheist can believe we are a brain in a vat fed information via our nerves by a computer matrix style, or that we are a giants dream, an atheist can believe that we are sleeping and when we die we just wake up. now an atheist can have faith or religion, but it is not included in atheism. even faith or believing in science is not included in defining someone as atheist. there are some tribal communities that have not advanced beyond mudhut technology, that do not have any gods, which makes them atheists. we are not a single community with specific belief system, atheism is an umbrella term for anyone that does not believe in god or gods. the common scientific explanation to morals is that we are pck animals and have evolved as pack animals. packs that trust eachother and have empathy, work together better than communities which are purely selfish. think of it this way, wolves come and go, they switch packs and even when they work together, they dont always know and trust the pack, they have about 15% success rate in hunting. african wild dogs hunt in packs and stay in that pack for life, they all have specific roles in a hunt and trust eachother to do their job properly, their success rate in hunting is about 90%. morals boil down to what is beneficial for the pack is moral, and what is detrimentla for the pack is immoral. your favorite sports team fan punches a member of an opposite sports team fan. that fan was an enemy, something that is against your pack, serves them right. one of them punches a member of your sports team, damn those bastards, thats downright immoral. it is beneficial for the pack as whole to alienate negative aspects of the pack, justice and sense of morality is something that allows a pack to survive in hard times. its basic survival of the fittest, just in a community size instead of individual level. im curious tho, if christians are saying atheists have no morals, what is that claim based on. i mean afaik the bible says we ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and that was the original sin. do we lose the effect when we become atheists according to your religion? "now he has become like us, and must not also eat from the tree of life and live forever". knowing good from evil was a bad thing according to the bible, so would a person with no morals such as an atheist be more welcome to paradise than a christian? how does that really work?
I've been fighting the stereotype since I was 17. It's exhausting. I'm the only atheist in my family. I'm from the deep south so that makes me evil. You get it lol. Huge fan! Fuck buzzfeed!
Damn that must be hard. For me it was kinda the opposite. In the school I learned about Bible and all that stuff about God and so on. I think I must have believed in it back then at least to some extent. Then I remember talking about Jesus or something to my dad and he seemed very akward about it. Then it clicked. I was like "Damn my parents don't actually believe in this stuff" =D It was like I just had learned that Santa wasn't real =D. Then I steadily grew out of it.
Just remember you are not alone! I grew up in a southern, strongly Christian and fairly conservative environment too with being sent to a private Christian school on top of that. And yeah, I'm the only atheist in my family too. After I became more independent, I started to talk to my family about my contrasting views on things. They're starting to come around slowly, but pretty well honestly. My older sister is a liberal now and isn't really religious. My mom goes to church less now and now accepts that people don't need to be religious to be moral and that morals are subjective. My dad is still quite conservative, but he at least knows better than to try to debate me on religion now. lol
I'm christian and I think you can be a wonderful person regardless of what you believe in - or *don't* believe in. Does that help you? Even if just a little bit? :)
Congrats on copying and pasting something you found on the internet trying to trigger me with something that has nothing to do with my comment. Go you! :)
Tbh, I don't see your point OR a link between our comments. I'm saying anyone can be a good person and you're saying God sucks. Do you see a connection? Because I don't.
Bucket, you really need to just stop, Aella wasn't attacking anyone and was being extremely nice and you just come in aggressive and defensive over nothing. besides what you believe in there is still a person who you are talking to and we should learn to live well together no matter what you believe
This is the most annoying argument!!! Even animals instinctively know not to kill each other unless its for survival... they think humans are so pathetic and that was they preach! We are sinners, we are incomplete, we are flawed. Excuse you. Im not incomplete or flawed and I sure as hell don't need some book or a magical man in the sky to tell me if what I'm doing is bad or not.
ASL Anissa """""book or a magical man in the sky to tell me if what I'm doing is bad or not."""""" If you think religous people have that mindset then you are wrong... Maby in America but not in the rest of the world.....
It's funny because the "we are sinners and flawed" argument inherently contradicts the existence of a designer with a perfect design in mind. We have useless wisdom teeth and vestigial traits--appendixes that could explode and kill us at any moment. We have many inherent design flaws. We either evolved or have a very, very stupid designer.
Moral of the story, if you don't follow a biblical set of morals you can't be a good person. I mean, before that humans were just running around bashing each other with clubs. No pre-christian society followed any set of rules at all. Laws against murder and theivery did not exist before god blessed us with morals. I mean Duh. *disclaimer: Sarcasm*
(I know you were being sarcastic but I would like ti add one thing) If people think morals vane from god, how did societies form without Christianity being there to begin with? Christianity has only been around for 2,000 years while society) civilization has been around for roughly 12,000 years.
Some of the most moral people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet have not shared my personal faith in God. That’s because morality and religion aren’t interchangeable, nor are they inseparable. Every belief system (or lack of belief system as the case may be) has a set of standards, which can be perceived as morality, and most of the time, these systems overlap on the big things (murder, child abuse, etc.). Where we part company is on the small stuff (the source of our core beliefs). I will not condemn your atheism because I don’t hold the same beliefs, nor will I say you are immoral because our Venn Diagram of standards doesn’t completely overlap. My faith in God can withstand your lack of faith in Him, and your atheism can withstand my belief in God. And we can both be moral people in the process by following one simple rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. I respect your opinions, even when I don’t agree, because you are open and honest about them. I hope you continue to speak out!
“Secular humanism has supplanted morality”?...you do realize that humanism is the belief that people have objective moral worth regardless of there being a god
@andy But why do they people have objective moral worth? If there is no objective authority to morality then how can we assert human beings intrinsic worth?
neosoontoretro I’m not a humanist. I don’t believe anything has objective worth (moral or otherwise). I was just responding to an extremely stupid contradiction That being said, my understanding of humanism is that it asserts that human moral worth just is. It strikes me as a faith-based position which is why I reject it but that’s the belief
neosoontoretro My moral philosophy is based on subjectivity but to say that I think morality is an opinion is misrepresentative We have a general consensus of what wellbeing is but morality is based on what we can know as fact furthers wellbeing. We care about wellbeing and can mostly agree on it because of rational self interest. We enforce morality primarily through the social contract whenever it’s not enough to rely on our general instinct towards altruism
@andy You can't have it both ways, you can't say your moral philosophy is subjective then say you don't think morality is an opinion. That is what being subjective means, it's someone's opinion.
Jefke Theboss, 1. most atheists do not believe that their ancestors came from monkeys. Nobody ever even actually said that, Charles Darwin said we share similar traits with monkeys, not that we are them. 2. Mythology is not the belief in multiple God's, that's polytheism. Mythology just means the study of myths usually from cultural/religious backgrounds. 3. Almost every single religion tells similar stories of the flood. Ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian societies had no idea of the "Noah topic". I don't even get how that's a valid topic you're trying to bring up. All that means is that a long time ago there was a large flood. Also, do not categorize all atheists as 'dumb' when you can't spell "myth" or "different" correctly.
MrLILv104, that is true. However, the bible has no story behind how God got there either. I'm really glad you were respectful and not rude in your reply though, I hope you have an excellent day.
Harpy Helen 1)Why are Atheist scientist like Richard Dawkins saying it? He is the most famous atheist and always come on tv and bring that up while insulting religion? 2) True... But why did they writed about their belief philosophical? The goal of research into myths there is the origin, development and meaning of to figure out, where more is learned about religious practices, the worldview of groups of people and their culture in General... For example: ---- The ancient Egyptians knew in fact no transcendent god, but an immanent. The divine was always and everywhere. Every nature power, supernatural power, legality or facet of the Cosmos was not only nominated, but also referred to with its own Visual representation.. In otherwords polytheism & Mythology is the same because there are alot of stories about diffrent god and in polytheism religion its accepted to talk/write about it and had their own ideas about how the gods world put out.... --- Because of the evil things Egypte did God choose the Jewish people to worship 1 God and they accepted and leave Egypte from slavey... God gave the Old-Testament wich The Bible & Quran comes from... 3) I never said Atheist are dumb I clearly said "dumb Atheist claims" wich i refer to scientific Atheist who brings their own philosophical world view to the public... Btw if you think i'm rude in my reply then you think to be quickly endorsed... Welcome to the internet... Ps Sorry if i'm being rude to you it was never the perpuso to be like that my english is not my main language so maby it comes to rude towards you...
Jefke Theboss Can you tell us why do you think "your" god is the right one? There are thousands of them but you are 💯 % yours is the right one, why? The odds of God even existing is less then 0.0000001. So if you are lucky that your god does exist, you need more luck so the god you believe in is the right one. So living blind your whole life thinking of an imaginary man in the sky must be really bad. I will pray to the spaghetti monster. If you keep believing this blasphemies you will end up burning in the fires of tomato sauce land. I dont want that for you brother. Hope you find the true god. R'amen
I used to be friends with a particular fundamentalist Christian and his wife, and I actually rented a room from them and lived with them for a while. Then, one day he told me straight to my face that I couldn't have morals because I was an atheist. About a week or two after that he told me that I had to go to church with him as a condition for continuing to rent the room. Needless to say, I was pissed, but I didn't miss irony that he'd said that *I* was the one with no morals, then he pulled that crap. Something which I could have actually sued him for if he was a legitimate landlord. I moved out a couple of days later.
Since MORALITY CAN'T be SCIENTIFICALLY TESTED , as a result ⬇ ATHEISTS SCIENTISM lead to ↪NOT BELIEVE IN Love , Confidence OR NOT BELIEVE IN themselves and others including parents, love ones, people ↪NOT BELIEVE in Purposeful and Meaningful Life , Consciousness, Love, Art and Beauty and other abstract emotional elements... ↪ NOT BELIEVE IN having faith, assumptions, speculations, imagination, ideas, values, good and bad, justice system ETC... In conclusion, atheism does not believe in morality because morality cannot be scientifically tested.
Beth Roesch I'll do that as soon as christians are ready to actually have a calm conversation instead of telling non believers that we're just a bunch of broken sinners who need to repent or we'll go to hell. It's not us who has a problem with the religious, they're the ones who demonize us
Autistic Owlfan like drugs... Just say NO. I don't care what group someone belongs to, your personal beliefs are exactly that, personal. They try to convince me I can't believe if I won't go to church. Well I say 🖕that. I won't be judged by a group of people who do bad things and try to hide behind a book. I'm the only one responsible for what I believe so I don't feel obligated to explain myself because I don't meet someone else's idea of how I believe. It's my life and I'll do what works for me, not them
FUCK!!! All these Fox News clips are so disturbing... especially regarding the one about God Bless America being sung before the mass shooting. #cringe
Jennifer McMahon What’s worse? Fox News who worships money and god, or CNN who worships Islamic Jihadis and the death of America? Fox News>CNN, and it isn’t even close
Stormyseas1779, mostró facts, if a person puts 100 persons in a room and give them, for example, aids, if one of that hundred they will say its a miracle, and a loy more facts
Osman Martinez you are right that a miracle is something that happens against probability but your wrong that it can be negative from my research it’s only defined as a positive outcome against probability
I recently admitted on channel that I'm an atheist. As a mom on RUclips, I am one of very few moms here who have been open about being atheist. Because viewers assume moms who are atheists are fucking up their kids forever. I lost a lot of subscribers because of that, but it was worth it. I don't toxic asshats like that my channel anyhow. 👌🏻 I was honestly inspired bh you and your channel over the years to finally open up about it to my viewers. Most of them have been extremely nice about it, thank goodness for decent people! But others asked me what I was going to say in hell when I died, or said I was a bad mother screwing up my daughter, or said that I was a moron and a bitch. Honestly, their ignorance made me laugh. The fact that they are so complete insecure in their own faith that they need to degrade someone for not believing the same thing as them is a sign of how absolutely pathetic they truly are. 👌🏻
It's truly sad. If you want evidence on why atheist mothers aren't amoral assholes, take my word that my mum is an amazing person and probably better than I'll ever be tbh.
Azure Griffin Same. My mum is so funny and nice to everyone she meets and gives everyone a fair chance to speak their opinion but if they are disrespectful then BIIITCH she fucks them up 😂 but really she is so lovely and guess what? She's an atheist!
+Petite Fox As a Christian i also dont understand the attitude of other Christians.... But according to The Bible it will be Jesus or God that will judge... So all the religous people that say bad things to you will realise they are wrong.. 1) Most of people i know are atheist... . I live the reverse of your life because they laugh at me for believing in God :)
Doc Reasonable The Site you gave me dont even exist.... How can you even get hated for not believing in God? Wtf? And btw the people that get hated the most are Muslims and then Christians or jews... Atheist just feel treated bad by getting hated, While in other side of the world Religous people get violence, Insults, Treats, Beatings, Killing & Others.... Those people would be happy to get hated instead of fearing for their lives...
Jefke Theboss People like religious-based terrorism groups and people like the WBC should fear for their lives. If I lived there I would be sent to prison with multiple charges of offence and murder against them
I started off as a Christian then during my sophomore year/junior year I converted to being a atheist due me going through a bad time in my life but then during mid senior year I had something that happen to me and for some reason I felt the urge to go to a church and I felt comforted and then I reconverted to Christianity and I have came to the conclusion that religion is a double edge sword and I say this because religion can be used for good but if left in the wrong hands people will use it to justify evil acts
Early in life I realized that I never truly believed or even cared much for whatever Christian teachings they were trying to instill in me. Never understood or experienced anything spiritual either. Later on found out that it’s basically called being an atheist. Oh well, can’t lie to myself. This seems to be who I am.
I love you and Social Repose. I grew up in a militant, right-wing Christian family and I was the only moderate, left-wing atheist person in my family. I really wish that you and Social repose were my parents. You are both such lovely, wonderful human beings. You are the two best people on RUclips. I love you both so much. It makes me feel sad that I don't really feel like I have a family, but I watch your videos and they comfort me. I wish you could adopt me, but I live in Australia and I'm too close to your age for that to work. What I'm really trying to get at is that I love you and Social Repose. You are my unofficial mum and dad. I love you both so much. You are both so wonderful.
I'm an atheist.....I really don't get how so many people (christians) get pissy when you bring up your own beliefs. Most of the people I know who are christians went to church as a child so they were basically brainwashed as a child. I wasn't brought up with any kind of religion. My mother raised me to love, be kind, and work hard. Not to waste a day of the week praying to something that might not be there. I will never forget, last semester (I'm a college student) I took a class titled "Comparative Religion" and a chick STORMED out because my professor said that Noah's ark was about symbolism and didn't REALLY happen in history. To me, there is so much ignorance in religion and Christianity and Mormonism most of all.
Thank you so much for talking about these issues. I’ve been an atheist for around 2 years now and the word atheist still feels like a bad thing to say out loud... even though I am one! I’m tired of having to hide it or play it off like I’m religious to avoid being shamed because I’m not ashamed. I’m proud to be who I am. Watching your videos reminds me that I’m not alone. Thank you
The Idea of the Bible as a moral compass is fucking hilarious. The book is jammed with incest, rape, genocide, all sorts of horrific immoral reprehensible bullshit.
Frank Martin “The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. ... DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.” -Richard Dawkins
Frank Martin Richard Rorty, a popular atheist philosopher, gives us a different perspective on the same truth: “There is no answer to the question, ‘Why not be cruel?’
Frank Martin C.S. Lewis said: “My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”
My Christian friend who doesn’t really like the fact I’m gay asked my other friend when they get to kill me as a joke. I respond with: “Only if I choose the way you do it.” Christian friend: “Quick and painless?” Me: “No, long and painful!” Me: “I want to be Stoned to death!” Other friend: *doesn’t understand* Me: *explains why I said I wanted to be Stoned to death*
I’m someone who holds on to memories of the past, and I have fond memories with that friend. He understands he needs to keep his mouth shut and that he needs to do careful about with he says around me. I said Stoning as a “Gotcha bitch” thing to say. I feel bad for the guy because he basically a teddy bear, a teddy bear that’s mind has been poisoned by christianity, his family also goes to the “cult church” (if you know what I mean) of our town.
Liberator of Knightly Oath, Zildon Knight You dont even know History.... Do you really want to know how they treated people in acient times? lol.... Being stoned to death was very common and actualy their are mutch worser methodes then being stoned to death in acient history.... The fact that Jesus himself got stoned because he helped & healed the poor/sick people says enough how the mindset of people where in those times.... Also They gave a women to Jesus because the women commited adultery and they wanted to hear Jesus his opinion(in those times they stone a women to death and its done by everybody) But do you know what Jesus said? Who commited no Sin can trow the first stone... And everybody leaved the place and the women was saved.....
ugh i cant stand fox news & ive always hated how you are only a good person if you have jesus, I grew up going to a catholic school & encountered enough bad ppl who still had jesus to know how much of brainwashed mind controlled, indoctrinated minds can exist. What about the horrible people that all of a sudden find god and jesus so that means anything they did before they arent held accountable before because now they are good christian ppl...so fucking stupid.... I can't even watch fox news....ugh. Youre awesome tho keep doing what you do!
I nearly feel compelled to create a channel propelled by atheistic generalizations of Christians. Both sides paint a truly appalling picture of the group as a whole, and it is tiring constantly attempting not to be lumped in with those select individuals. Know not all of us are weak minded enough to think these absurdities~
Technically, you don't want to be good or bad because they are both the same thing, they are both, evil! Want proof, well, an easy one would be, being a cop. He/she would have us believe that they represent doing good by protecting us from the bad guy. The thing is, the more good they do, by incarcerating, extorting and potentially killing criminals, the more evil or bad they've done to do good at their job. There are several other ways to show how good and bad are same, but I think this will do for now!
My belief, is that most people, regardless of religious beliefs (or lack thereof ) still believes in the idea of consciousness, and that to end someone’s life, someone else’s existence, and there chance for happiness, is bad. Atheist≠ Nihilist.
Jaclyn, I know this frustrated you to no end, bc I feel the same way. I am tired of the labeling and the blaming and the finger pointing. If burning at the stake was still legal I am sure many an atheist wouldn't be here right now. But, there is a silver lining, for me at least. You go on here and you make those of us surrounded on all sides by walls of indocrination and religion, feel less alone. Through the stupidity and hurt, you make us laugh. That is a gift, honey. I finally came out to my parents about my lack of belief. I was scared, not gonna lie. And they weren't happy, which is no surprise (and I am sure I am bound to a future full of attempts to pull me back from the brink of hell LOL). But you helped me be brave enough to stop hiding who I was inside, what I really thought and believed. For that, I am truly grateful. So you see? Stupid stuff like this will happen, and girl, if you want to find stupid, just watch FoxNews (What were you thinking?? haha). You may think you don't make a difference but you do. You did for me. And Matt Dillihunty and Amon Ra, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson- all of you have made me know it's ok to be me, and to not hide it anymore. So thanks. :) Much love XOXO
Johnny Goodson Hello Johnny, if by "better" you mean that you're making "better" choices as an atheist, then I want to ask you what was prohibiting you from making those "better" choices when you were a Christian?
As a Californian I’ve never felt scared nor embarrassed to admit I’m an atheist in public. People just don’t care or accept it. But that’s probably just in California idk about other states.
Amy Ashley Hello Amy, if by your post you mean that you continuously do good, then that is wonderful, but there are some things that you still lack, and one of them is the very reason why you call yourself an atheist. GOD bless
Lmao who says atheists have no morals? I mean maybe it's bc I love in Canada and Ik many atheists.... some ppl are surprised when they hear I'm an atheist but they get over it
"You do not need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion" - Jaclyn 2017 speaking the truth!
Are you implying that only people born into a religious household turn to religion? Once a person develops enough intelligence to use reason and logic and then continues to believe the fairytales they were force fed, that denotes a damaged brain to me.
that's a bit ignorant, I wouldn't say all religions, but all ideologies. and mental illnesses are genetic, not delusions. ideologies can be misguiding. not a cause for bad genes...
A big part of why I love Jaclyn is because she has a sound argument and she also plays devil's advocate. She tries to help educate people without pushing it or being rude. I love you, Jaclyn!
+GAVIN.WEST I love it when they do that, they'll say something like: ''Evolution isn't real'' followed by a pause and then they go: ''And even if it is..'' They have no confidence in what they are saying at all, a complete 180 degree turn in 5 seconds. xD
I fully believe I'm an atheist cuz I don't believe in god. However, I do believe SOMETHING like a spirit or something holds power and control but more like an unknown source... I was raised christian but don't believe in god so this is complicated to mr
huh...i only believe in balance and possibility. its possible gods exists its possible faeries and ghost and all supernatural creatures but you cannot know until its experienced
I’m an atheist and I have a tremendous sense of empathy and I couldn’t hurt a fly but I completely disagree with prayer. However a moment of silence in schools is a good thing in the wake of tragedy because it gives students a chance to mentally process what they have learnt and IF a student wishes to pray silently for comfort, they can. If they want to cry, they can. A moment of silence allows you to get in your own head. Everyone processes everything differently and a moment of silence allows you to get into your own and deal with it or at the very least, begin dealing with it.
i mean it was a joke but sure, the point was, all news outlets lean towards the left or the right, and for us centrists, the only thing that's left is american horror story xD
Well here is the ironic part, if you're only doing "good things" (i.e being honest, helping others, donating to the poor, etc..) because you wish to gain a reward (go to heaven) or avoid punishment (going to hell) then are you really a good person at all? Since you're only being good b/c of something for YOU (gain reward or avoid punishment) then you're not good at all! Selfish motivation is what it comes down to. TRULY good people will do good things regardless because they want to not because they feel they have to.
i'm catholic, but i don't believe atheists are moraless. it's simply common sense to not kill someone or rape someone. there's bad people in every religion whether you want to believe it or not. many of my closest friends are athetists. i don't like when religious people force their shit on others and when atheists do the same. as long as you are not harming anyone, in my book, you're perfectly okay.
We should trade. Prayer can be in school IF thinking is allowed in church.
Adrian Roberts.
If theists actually did think, then they would not be theists in the first place.
ruclips.net/video/q-PX2Z4r-e4/видео.html
Oh great so Prayer is allowed in school because A LOT of thinking goes on in church
CASSANDRA GORGAN, thinking does not equal "Amen." Thinking is when you explore for yourself and determine your own answers whether or not your pastor or fellow church members agree with you
bucketsandshims So when you think and explore yourself your only right if you pick anything BUT Christianity ( or any not atheist for that matter )
One of the biggest lesson's i've learned in life is that being religious does NOT make you a good or even decent human being. Unfortunately some of the scummiest people i've ever had the displeasure of meeting have also been some of the most religious people i've ever encountered.
aliGol D If you believe in a god you are religious. Are you saying to be religious you have to be perfect? Because that doesn’t make sense.
NikitaRoqueSox , As someone who grew up being put into a private Christian school, I strongly agree. This is why I have to disagree with Jaclyn on the issue of religious administration and systems in even private schools. A lot of teachers abuse their power enough as it is over their students, but I can confirm it's much worse when the religious bullshit reasoning is thrown in. I think it should be illegal in private schools as well. It's bad enough those kids have to put up with that at their homes and churches.
NikitaRoqueSox
There are shit atheists and shit religious people, as well as shit people from any race. They should just simply be labeled “shitty people”.
^_^
I actually had a friend that constantly bashed atheism. I first met him in 7th grade and we've been good friends since then, about 3 years. The other day I finally mentioned I was an atheist after his constant bashing of the group. You know what he said?
"Well, my parents don't let me be friends with anyone that isn't Christian. But I won't tell them."
We're still good friends to this day :D
I hope this kids grows up to be a better person than his parents, they sound like sanctimonious assholes.
Sounds like a couple of people at my church. They're oddballs but I don't mind hanging out with them, but constant brainwashing from the youth pastor has them believing that atheists have no morals, want to believe god doesn't exist, homosexuals are all going to burn in Hell and are disgusting people, etc. Just today them and the youth pastor were going on a a little circlejerk about how atheists apparently have no moral compass because evolution teaches that the strongest survive and so it's not wrong to an atheist to kill someone and I wanted to come out as atheist and call them out on their bullshit so bad. I was so close to losing my temper. The pastor also started going on a conspiracy about how the government passed a bill that lets them microchip people (which didn't even happen) and that it's the mark of the beast and that the end is coming along with World War 3. I am extremely worried about the future of the indoctrinated kids in there with me.
Hey,same
Actually Not same
All My friends hate me being an atheist and try to force religion on to me

I’m a chronically ill person with chronic pain. I have been told many times to just pray about it. 🙄🙄🙄
Don't worry get the medication you need and you'll hopefully be fine
May science be with you
JC Denton
It’s hilarious because this was said to me during a debate about medical marijuana dispensaries in Ohio.
ya and the people that tell you this probably all know at least one person that manged to pray their health problems away...
glad to see that you decided to use our brain and take control over things that are in your control-instead of hoping for things to just go away by praying hard enough.
Your sister from another mister omg same. Okay, you'll probably get a kick out of how awkward this situation I once ended up in, was:
I was at my son's school for their winter holiday assembly, and one of his friend's moms (who was ridiculously religious, albeit well meaning) asked if she could pray for me. Not wanting to offend her, I said sure. Oh boy did I regret that quickly. She proceeded to bend over me (I need a wheelchair to get around these days) she put her hands on my knees, and she closed her eyes, she started swaying and rambling in her first language (I have no idea what it was, and I'm multilingual, so not English, French, Spanish, nor German, and I can also recognize Japanese, Chinese (although I don't know the difference between the different Chinese languages) and Korean, and it wasn't something Slavic. I'm thinking an Indian or African language... Idk. Anyway, I just squirmed in my chair. My hubby had gone to get my son, and his school doesn't have an elevator, so he just left me alone. My illness (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) also affects my arms, so I was stuck there. I also am the kind of person who would sooner spontaneously combust than be rude. *BUT* if that wasn't bad enough, she told me to say *amen* after every time she said it. It was so awkward that I just peeped it out to get it overwith. It felt like we were like that for years. But finally she told me that as long as I continued to let Jesus into my life, I would be healed... OH! Thanks lady! Why didn't I think of that during my 33 years of life, 10 or so, of which, I spent belonging to 3, and studying 5 other, religions; before just giving up because they all seemed so unrealistic. But yes! Jesus! Wow. I never would have tried that... cause you know, I don't want to try whatever I can to get better. *rolls eyes*
I'm such a skeptic, the placebo effect doesn't even work on me.
Edit: I'M FREAKING CANADIAN! (Cause if I were American, I'd probably be used to this crap by now lol)
paranoiaprincess the chinese languagescare pretty easy to distinguish between. Manderin is tonal and Cantonese isn't.
One time I told this old woman I was an atheist. She then asked me if I was raped. I said no. Then she asked what horrible thing must of happened to me to make me not trust in Jesus. All I said is I grew up and left childish myths behind.
Talon9390 the roast tho 😂, that must've hurt a lot for her 🔥🔥🔥
Andrew Maliberan I doubt it. Most believers can't be hurt by non believers.
PattyGirl indeed. Her husband nearly assaulted me for "blasphemy" Glad my friend was their with his gun otherwise I fear I might of had a fight on my hands.
Like Jimmy Carr said "We've all had imaginary friends, I just grew out of mine." lol
isn't that really showing how bad her relationship to jesus is?
she never saw that person, only knows there's a book with certain questionable stories-yet she so strongly insists that you CANNOT leave the idea of god behind you unless something traumatizing happened .
What if the bible was created as a practical joke by a few high dudes? I bet if there was an afterlife, they would be loosing their shit looking at how far it went.
MY N U T IS TOO OP AND IT NEEDS A NERF dude you're woke. I can tell from that single comment that you're an intellectual

I'm an atheist and I have morals.
Maybe six of them. Give or take.
I keep them in a box under my bed.
BionicDance Dude same
BionicDance wanna trade morals?
Have you kept yours in those plastic sleeves to keep them from bending?
Sorry. I need my morals in mint condition.
After all, if they're not positively ancient, they're no good.
Obviously.
Oh, and thanks. :)
We literally say "under god" in the pledge of allegiance EVERY DAY in school so I'd say that religion still isn't completely separated from state
Rhiannon Parker whenever I have to say it at school I always says under Satan XD
They say that cause the government gets money from religions
Leave it up to the US to allow this stupidity. Change the pledge, then get mad if anyone else tries to do the same for legit reasons.
Rhiannon Parker
lol my school only says it once every two weeks
Rhiannon Parker I never say "under god" when saying the pledge. I say the pledge but I refuse to say something I don't believe in.
Well yeah of course religious people have better morals. Just look at the Catholic Church, their priests treat young boys so well... oh wait.
KatieeElmore Catholic Church is a Company and they decide what they stand for.... Its a FACT that all poor parents who could not afford education/food to their children that they would go to School to get education.... While meanwhile your dictators did not care about their people... And every company who gets more power will get curropted one way or another.... You can stop Evil People...
Jason Catholicism is a major denomination of christianity. If you believe in Jesus and his teachings, then obviously you are a chirstian.
KatieeElmore yeah false religion is dangerous, but all human being are evil. So I'm not surprised. Good thing God created us with a conscience to tell us what is good.
Jefke Theboss ruclips.net/video/q-PX2Z4r-e4/видео.html
Pretty much all atheist will just look towards the Catholic Church and just say that pretty much sums up the entire Christian denominations. *yawn* you atheist bring up the same arguments regardless if they've been debunked
Someone in my class said to my Jewish teacher "how do you remember to be a good person if you don't believe in hell?" And I yelled "BECAUSE SHES A GOOD PERSON. "
Christians need the threat of hell or the promise of heaven to be a good person? They can't just be a good person to be a good person. So small minded.
if the only thing stopping him/her from doing bad things is by being reminded of hell, then he/she actually isn't very good person.
Tori R Well Jesus was a Jew who helped & healed all sick/poor people in region isreal/paletina and he broke the jewish laws by helping people on a Sabbath wich was a insults for the Jewish Pharisees that they order the romans to kill Jesus..... So i tell you who is worser the one who helps or the one who decideds to kill according by a Law? Btw it was even illigal to kill according to Jewish Laws and yet The Pharisees killed Jesus....
Jefke Theboss um everything you just said is make believe, so any answer to your question (which is pretty irrelevant to my original comment) would be pointless..
Christians don’t need the threat of hell or the promise of heaven to be a good person. Where did you get that idea from? If a person is a Christian. A real Christian. They do things to please God because they love Him. They do it out of want to please Him. I love Jesus and I do things out of love for Him. Good things. Which people would consider factors into being a good person. It’s tricky to explain but I hope I did my best.
Tori R Let me ask you this us Christian's believe in an after life(as in we have hope for something better)you athiest's believe in nothing (as in you have no hope for anything) why not have hope huh?
*THAT JUMPSCARE IN THE BEGINNING THO :O*
It was more scary than a Muslim.
Never wearing headphones while watching one of her vids again.
I fainted
Mariana Maurício I screamed and fell off my chair
A sexy jumpscare
My question is this: Why do Christians need a book to tell you right from wrong? I am not trying to attack Christians, just simply curious.
Zzzzzz... I don’t really blindly accept it I take the claims of moral principles and try to see if there’s any reasoning behind it don’t just take it straight out of the book
Be interesting to see what other Christians say. But that is a fairly good answer.
We don’t the Bible is more lessons and teachings on ways to be peaceful we don’t need it to tell us
So another just quick question. Again, I am not trying to attack Christians, just curious as I stated earlier. Anyways, my question is: Do you ever not follow something the bible says if you think it is questionable or wrong morally?
Zzzzzz... We do follow everything in the New Testament not in the Old Testament where any of the “violence” was happening. And because the Bible is so old there are parts that are not look at deeply, an example is when it comes to roles in society ( but that depends on your churches view of those rules, an example would be women leading the church, some would say “no the Bible says...” and some would say “yes because...” ). I do hope this answers your question and doesn’t give you any wrong Ideas if you have any more questions feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my ability 😁
I think I'm gonna start being more of an open atheist. Maybe not in your face about it, but I feel like it should be something that I can bring up during a conversation with people who do believe in god.
MrFindX fuck yeah dude *high five
I do the same, make sure to bring it up more whenever this type of bullshit or misconceptions of us is mentioned.
I always respond to people who say atheists aren't moral with "Atheism isn't immoral, people are."
MrFindX just leave everyone else alone and mind your own damn business. That would be the best thing to do
God in the bible sanctions slavery, says parents can stone their children to death and ordered the mass murder of thousands of innocent people and said they could keep the virgins for themselves. The bible or any religion for that matter is not a good moral compass. People are not moral because they read their bible, if they really did they would not be moral. People are moral because we as a society recognize what benefits us as a whole. How do I know it's wrong to murder another person? I don't know really but I do know that it causes damage to our society and I myself would not want to be murdered, that is all we need to know. People do not get their morals from god or religion, they are attributing their morals to their religion in a desperate attempt to make religion justified. The reality is that religion is not only contradicted by massive amounts of scientific facts, it is also a immoral system and it's so sad that people have been so brainwashed by it that they are willing to throw away their humanity in order to appeal to an imaginary man in the sky.
As long as you're confident that the people around you won't try and Lynch you. I know If I brought it up near my grandmas side of the family then it would just be chaos
This has been up for less than five minutes and I'm already waiting for BuzzFeed version of this to go up shortly.
Wastingsometimehere nice shade bruh
Buzzfeed waits 1 to 3 weeks before posting copy cat videos
There is bound to be some "Crossover" though :)
Hey! There's nothing wrong with BuzzFeed... It's just a bit of overlap...
😂👌🏻
Morals existed before religion. Check out Plato Aristotle Chinese Philosophers. I still believe in something like God but not the way it is conceived in the Bible. People use the Bible how they want to use it.
Yup I agree
Lol it's logic because if morals was good given by Bible . Then why tf Japanese are murdering themselves . As far as I know only religious people r killing more
Im sorry but if your pick and choose what parts of the bible you belive in , you might as well not even read the book
Thats like beliving harry potter is a wizard but not wanting to belive he went to Hogwarts
each book has important lessons...
Even Harry Potter. that doesn't mean you have to assume you can fly on a broom, but even there we learned important stuff. the thing is that there's also a downside which we should be aware about.
What im trying to say is you have chosen to belive in literature written thousands of years ago and are told to follow your life according to it you cant pick and choose what to follow or then there isnt any point. it says to stone gays for being gay although you can actively choose not to do that (hopefully you do) just know that you going against "gods word" and thats immoral
dan c they don't read it already.
😂
This is an interesting comment(and I completely agree with it)I’m just gonna add on. I recently realized that more often than not, those who are a religion haven’t finished the Bible, they haven’t read it in its entirety(if you have and you are still religious, power to you) but those who have read it in its entirety and know what the Bible teaches are usually agnostic or atheists, now that is not to say that is always the case, but that is what I have noticed in my area of the world and also on the corners of the internet I hang out on. I guess ignorance really is bliss...
I'm a "spiritual" type person. I have I guess Christian beliefs and it works for me. I'm a preacher's kid and grandkid. I also have friends and family, my youngest daughter for one, who are atheist. I can say in my personal experience, the alleged Christians are far more lacking in morals than any atheist I've ever known. Your spiritual beliefs are not a matter of law. They don't belong in front of any other belief. If it's about morals alone, Christians need to realize that organized religion is full of hypocrisy and it's created by people to divide and conquer. I LOVE the separation of church and state. I don't want religion in my government and I damn sure don't want the government in my beliefs. Sadly, religion often closes minds which in turn closes your heart. The only thing scarier than an atheist?? A Bible waving sheep
Beth Roesch Devon would hate you
Organized religion is a system of control but also a signaling system, to signal that you are a "moral" person to other members, in the goal of producing viable offspring. Just like why you don't run around naked in public even when there is no rational reason, just to signal that you are a sane person and not a danger. It has nothing to do with truth. I don't believe in absolute moral truths but I do believe that truth is important for morals.
You seem awesome
Marcus, compassion as part of government=absolutely, but spirituality im not so sure, could you define it for me?
👏
I believe in Jesus and all that. BUT those ladies are a perfect example as to why most of my friends are Atheist. A lot of Christians tend to be very close minded to other people and their points of view and just assume they are always right and the greatest people alive, and that pisses me off. My atheist friends know I’m religious, and they don’t care if I pray around them, and as well I don’t try to force him to pray with me, because I know they don’t want to. We understand each other and accept each other for who we are and that’s what important. All these “Christians” who want to say I follow the Jesus; and then go out and judge others based on their lives or beliefs contradict themselves. To me, i think being Christian doesn’t give you special rights to judge others, who are you to say what’s wrong or right? Besides I also don’t believe God hates anyone, I don’t think you go to hell for everything people say you do. If He made us and knew we’d sin, why would he send us to an eternity of pain for something he planned? No, I don’t believe that bullshit. I understand you’d go to hell if you abuse, rape, molest, or murder; you are damaging and or ending a human life and that’s just not human. I think Christianity sees God as vengeful and mean, and hateful, and I won’t be a part of it. I don’t care if you are religious, Atheist, Black, white, Latino, Asian, straight, gay, bi, etc. As long as you are humbled, speak positively, and have a kind heart, you’re good in my book!
Stirgid Lanathiel I understand what you’re saying, and I appreciate your feedback. You’re right in fact, the Atheists I know don’t believe simply because there isn’t enough evidence God exists, and I understand that completely. I know Atheists aren’t who they are because they are scared off. I understand y’all just want proof, and yeah there ain’t any physical proof God exists. That’s why I won’t judge anybody who is Atheist, cause y’all have a valid point. In fact I don’t judge anyone on their point of view, you being Atheist doesn’t have anything to do with me, so who am I to judge you. Same as me being religious, it doesn’t hurt my friends, so they respect my point of view. If more people thought this way, the world would be a much better place in my opinion, live and let live you know? I just personally see God in the environment around me, in the things he does, But I digress. I’m tired of Atheists and Christians always fighting on the Internet, most of it is started by Christians, and it’s sickening. Who cares what someone believes, as long as you’re a good kind hearted person, that should be enough!
I know it may be hard, but but try not to judge the Bible based on the actions of people who claim to follow it. If 10 people were given a computer manual and 8 people don't apply what's in it you wouldn't couldn't that the manual is wrong would you? If you're suspicious that the manual might actually be wrong, it would be wise to study the manual, separate from the actions of those who claim to follow it.
@Ramza yea and if that manual said clicking power button improved the speed of your computer and it actually turns it off? if it says moving mouse to the left will move it right on the screen? then it says there was a guy who clicked enter on the keyboard and his computer became 1000 times faster but there is no way of knowing if thats true you just gotta believe. would you still take that manual seriously?
If there is a person who's never read the manual who claims it's providing blatantly wrong directions and if a person who's read the manual helps you understand the manual and explains the meaning of the manual, I'd listen to the latter person.
so if a person actually knows about computers and then reads the manual and he knows whats wrong and whats right in the manual cause he actually knows all of that without manual, then he tells you and you listen to him.
you dont see the problem with that? yeah he might tell you everything correctly, but he's not telling you any of it cause of the manual, he's telling you cause he knows himself, he simply references the manual just for the topics not the actual meaning or ways of doing it.
thats literally what most of you do, you read the bible cherry pick what you like and then call yourselves christian, when the matter of fact is you're just choosing what to believe which is not really called being christian, its actually better than that cause u're dismissing lots of horrible things, but its just silly,
if you dont believe 100% of the bible then u're contradicting yourself, if bible was wrote by god and he's 100% perfect and knows everything he would've never made any mistakes, bible would be 100% accurate, if it has even 1 mistake that already makes all of it pretty much improbable,
while it actually has maybe half of it wrong which should tell any sane person with a bit of a thinking power that its all bullshit, just live your life be who you are, you dont need god to tell you who you are supposed to be, i'm atheist and what i love the most in this life is making others happy,
literally thats the number 1 thing that makes me happy, i dont need god for that and you neither, religion doesnt do much good, most of the good comes from the people itself,
most people get from religion is just bad shit, they think that they're doing good and being good because of religion, but in reality they're just good and they just do good cause they want to but then give credits to god/religion.
i'm sorry English is my 3rd language and i'm horrible with punctuation and stuff. i hope its readable.
i also hope you'll think about this, get that religion out of your life be a better person without it and live your life fullest, cause sadly its the only life you have, just like its the only life everyone else has and thats the reason you should try to help them enjoy it as much as you enjoy it. THATS why you should be a good person and help others not because u're afraid that some asshole in the sky will send you to hell if you dont, that just makes you a horrible person.
buzzfeed will steal this aswell
nooooo stay awayyyy buzzfeed!
Mathijs Droge I can already see it "what atheists are tired of hearing" lmfao and maybe it would also concentrate on how people say that atheists have no morals?????? SO ORIGINAL BITCH I'M CRYING ALREADY
JaclynGlenn honestly, I would (as an Atheist) be happy if buzzfeed did steal this. I don't want them to steal anything from you, but this kind of message would be better spread than your fun series about being a skeptic.
I live in the netherlands and i am a Atheist since birth, and it really suprises me that being ''non-religous'' is still kinda a issue all arround the world, but am not that suprised from the united states. since i know most people in the states are religous, and the biggest part of that is christian, and there version of being a christian is matching the ones from england between 1600-1700. So i suggest to just let natural selection do its work, its a problem that will fix itself over time.
It has always been my experience that the Christians who are the most vocal about their beliefs and judgmental of others beliefs are some of the worst human beings I have ever met.
Sara T what makes them bad?
Hellberg: what makes them bad? Their willful self-indulgent behavior! What do you mean? Their hidden criminality and narcissism. Their willingness to impose their own wills upon other people whether it hurts them is irrelevant to these kind of self-righteous people. Many of them PREFER it hurts other people--that's a hallmark of evil. MANY religious people just LOVE to hurt other people.
Hellberg exe The fact that they go to church a few days a week ,And feel the need to tell people they're going to hell and deserve it if they don't accept Jesus, While some of them have sex outside of marriage like most people
Drink ,Smoke ,etc ....
@@jilliansmith7123 There is good and bad in everything I was a good christian and kept my morals when I became an atheist.
Tom Paros: of course that's true. But being a "good Christian" sometimes isn't necessarily being a good person if that means not threatening others with sad predictions of hell and the end of the earth. Of course you kept your morals when you became an atheist. Why would you get worse because you gave up believing in things that cannot be proven? I'm glad to hear that you identify as moral and good; always great to know there's a decent person out there.
@JaclynGlenn I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me so much! I live in a predominately mormon state, and was raised very LDS. I went through the same thing as you, where I was looking for that connection or belief, and never found it. I was afraid to identify as an atheist, until I started watching your videos! :) I understand atheism SO much more, and am proud to say I’m an Athiest and a damn good person as well. I will stand up for what I believe now. You are helping people like me that feel like a complete outcast in a very religious place, know that they are NOT alone in the way they feel. That there is NOT something wrong with them! I am teary eyed writing this because it is a relief to not have to try and hide who I am, but instead be proud of it and do the best I can to be the best person I can be. Its Amazing the effect on my life just a handful of videos have had! Thank you SO MUCH for doing what you are doing!
Riley Hansen I relate to this comment quite a bit. I grew up (am still i guess) in a very LDS family and just never felt what everyone was talking about. I seemed to found so many inconsistencies and things that just didnt seem logical at all. I stumbled across jaclyns channel and it has helped me so much in recognizing that im not alone in my thoughts lol. I realized the reason i had a hard time letting these things go is bc they have been inbedded in me since i was born. I still say oh my gosh and not god lol. unfortunately im still learning to be confident enough to tell people my beliefs.Just because my dad, still very much so shoves this down my throat and I have a hard time in being firm with him. Im still learning to be proud and confident in being atheist, im pretty scared to be outspoken just bc im sure ill get my crazy family and their crazy debates over it. I dunno if that makes sense but yeah.
Same. Good ol' Utah huh?
If you don't murder or rape only because you believe you'll go to hell, you're not just a Christian, you're also a psychopath.
You're missing the point of all religions :
- murder : BAD
- murder in the name of god : GOOD
Seishiro Sakurazuka Your name is really cool
"If atheists didn't get rid of religions, this wouldn't have happened."
Know what happened because of religion?
The Crusades.
MintAndPurple Also how have atheists gotten rid of religion? I wish we would've by now, but it hasn't happened.
Mint, someone claiming to do something in the name of Jesus, doesn't mean that they are Christians. The Crusades was not done for Jesus because it defied the very ideals that Jesus stood for. Jesus said "love your neighbor"; He certainly did not say that it is okay to to kill your neighbor. Justifying the Cdusades with the Bible is like saying that you can love the Earth by littering--it doesn't work; so even if it was a terrible act done by Christians, they're actiiona cannot be justified by the religion they professed. I wanted to point that out because it sounds like you're blaming their actions on religion, when in reality, it's just human nature. Human beings can make irrational and impulsive decisions. It's unfair to say that because of religion, people do bad things.
Ahh the crusades, the good ol’ days
Camracer R Cleave to no religion when religion brings blood
Kaylee, religion does not bring blood--people do. I already explained that the Crusades was not an act based on the Bible; it was an act based on someone's selfish intent. Not all people who claim to profess Christianity are really Christians.
i 100% agree. there are good and bad Atheists and there are good and bad Christians
There are just good and bad people. It is only an issue when ideologies (religion especially) come into the picture, which can make a good person do bad things.
Diviance that's true
I get my morals from the bible. And I'm a wonderful person. I own slaves but they are Jews so I will let them go after seven years. Don't wanna disobey the lord.
hetiswathetis yeah, don't forget to obey the voices in your head when they tell you to murder your daughter. We don't need women anyway, right?
Wednesday Mess that's right!
Where in the bible does it mention slaves? Kjv says bondservent. When people were poor they'd sell themselves into Labour to earn money for their family. Not slave bondservent.
nice b8 m8
Sa sori That's a lovely way to sugarcoat horrible things. Oh wait, that's the entire bible.
A lot of these hypochristian fundies love to wear the good guy badge, while pointing their fingers at skeptics, because it makes them feel better about their own so called sins. It makes them feel superior. “I can do anything I want because I have Jesus in my life, but you...even if you lived a good life, will go to Hell because you don’t believe.”
Satan is the only way
davlor86 very mature addition to the conversation.
You're right, and they're wrong.
I hope you will meet a Christian who doesn't do that.
Mike Carter wrote "It makes them feel superior."
It's a symptom of the mental disorder knownn as "paranoid schizophrenia"
Just check wikipedia, it fits almost 100%
Mike Carter I'm Christian... and Why cant u be a man and tell them they are hypocrites? They are humans just like you and they can't judge you because according to The Bible only God or Jesus will judge and even Jesus said in bible more then 100 times to love everybody and dont do evil against them..... its funny how Atheist are feeling treated bad by Christians while in Europe its the other way around lol.... I dont mind it...
I am a conservative Republican and a Christian and I agree with everything you said. My beliefs might differ from yours but I would never suggest that you couldn't possibly be a good person just because you are an atheist. My beliefs work for me and yours work for you. Awesome.
And please don't think that Laura Ingram speaks for all Christians. She is a nutjob. Brian Kilmeade is rarely the voice of reason on Fox News but in this case he certainly was trying to be.
twalker294 Do you believe morality comes from the word of god and god himself? Do you believe the verses in the word of god addressed to non-believer?
Sage 2, why is that even relevant?
twalker294 Wow, I've never seen such an open-minded christian. Thank you for your respect.
I like conservative christians like you. Im an Atheist
Great that you think this way. But I also think that Christians like you should be more vocal and stand up against these nutjobs
Atheism recognizes that human beings can intrinsically care about others and care about doing the right thing. We don’t need to be scared into doing it.
Irene Haralabatos hello ma'am. You included the word "can" in your post. "Can" is to be able to do something or know how to do something. Knowing how to do good or being capable of doing good is not an atheistic concept, it is Biblical. It is also not reserved for Christians alone, but is for everybody. Read Genesis 3:1-7 when you have the time to do so, I believe that it will help you. GOD bless.
Glad 2 Help
The "good" according to your bible :
1 Samuel 15:2-3
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but *slay both man and woman, infant and suckling* , ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Seishiro Sakurazuka You see this is what I am talking about. You mention 1 Samuel 15: 2-3, but when quoting the Scriptures, you intentionally included an ellipsis, the three dots that are used to omit words and sentences from a text. Now why would you go and omit from your post the very reason why GOD declared judgment upon Amalek? Is it possible that you were trying to alter the essence of the message of the Scriptures to fit your idea of Who GOD is? Is it possible that you just want GOD to be evil? Well HE isn't evil, GOD is good. Even if you don't want to live for GOD, at least be honest and declare the "whole" message of what is being said, and not just your own personal opinion based upon your dislike of GOD. If you understood who the ancient Amalekites were and what they used to do, you would not have chosen those Scriptures to post in a facetious way. GOD bless.
Lol. That's foolishness. Those who don't have Jesus are in the same footing as someone like Hitler in the sight of God.
Jesus-is Lord. Right, in need of mercy.
I just wrote a scholarship essay on morality without religion and the Freedom From Religion Foundation published me in the October issue of Free thought Today and I won $200 😀
good for you!!!! takes courage for that
Henry Dalcke
atheism does not include anything about origins. atheism describes lack of belief in a god or gods, nothing more nothing less.
there are atheistic religions, such as buddhism or shinto, an atheist can believe in spirits or soul or rebirth, an atheist can believe in ghosts, telepathy, telekinesis, dragons, magic, wichcraft, an atheist can believe we are a brain in a vat fed information via our nerves by a computer matrix style, or that we are a giants dream, an atheist can believe that we are sleeping and when we die we just wake up.
now an atheist can have faith or religion, but it is not included in atheism. even faith or believing in science is not included in defining someone as atheist. there are some tribal communities that have not advanced beyond mudhut technology, that do not have any gods, which makes them atheists. we are not a single community with specific belief system, atheism is an umbrella term for anyone that does not believe in god or gods.
the common scientific explanation to morals is that we are pck animals and have evolved as pack animals. packs that trust eachother and have empathy, work together better than communities which are purely selfish.
think of it this way, wolves come and go, they switch packs and even when they work together, they dont always know and trust the pack, they have about 15% success rate in hunting.
african wild dogs hunt in packs and stay in that pack for life, they all have specific roles in a hunt and trust eachother to do their job properly, their success rate in hunting is about 90%.
morals boil down to what is beneficial for the pack is moral, and what is detrimentla for the pack is immoral.
your favorite sports team fan punches a member of an opposite sports team fan. that fan was an enemy, something that is against your pack, serves them right.
one of them punches a member of your sports team, damn those bastards, thats downright immoral.
it is beneficial for the pack as whole to alienate negative aspects of the pack, justice and sense of morality is something that allows a pack to survive in hard times. its basic survival of the fittest, just in a community size instead of individual level.
im curious tho, if christians are saying atheists have no morals, what is that claim based on.
i mean afaik the bible says we ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and that was the original sin. do we lose the effect when we become atheists according to your religion?
"now he has become like us, and must not also eat from the tree of life and live forever". knowing good from evil was a bad thing according to the bible, so would a person with no morals such as an atheist be more welcome to paradise than a christian?
how does that really work?
Lovely! ;)
Melissa Juarez congrats!
I'm a Christian and I have loads of Athiest friends and you know what ... they are some of THE NICEST people I have ever met
Still a Christian?
When I'm an asshole to people, I just tell the person "Sorry, I'm an atheist."
I've been fighting the stereotype since I was 17. It's exhausting. I'm the only atheist in my family. I'm from the deep south so that makes me evil. You get it lol. Huge fan! Fuck buzzfeed!
dude...that sucks big time. I've never been in a place where people are that dependant on religion.
Damn that must be hard. For me it was kinda the opposite. In the school I learned about Bible and all that stuff about God and so on. I think I must have believed in it back then at least to some extent.
Then I remember talking about Jesus or something to my dad and he seemed very akward about it. Then it clicked. I was like "Damn my parents don't actually believe in this stuff" =D
It was like I just had learned that Santa wasn't real =D. Then I steadily grew out of it.
I'm from an evangelical republican bible belt family, and I am a Godless Commie.
Just remember you are not alone! I grew up in a southern, strongly Christian and fairly conservative environment too with being sent to a private Christian school on top of that. And yeah, I'm the only atheist in my family too.
After I became more independent, I started to talk to my family about my contrasting views on things. They're starting to come around slowly, but pretty well honestly. My older sister is a liberal now and isn't really religious. My mom goes to church less now and now accepts that people don't need to be religious to be moral and that morals are subjective. My dad is still quite conservative, but he at least knows better than to try to debate me on religion now. lol
Yujiro Hanma my sister is a pan sexual wiccan. She and I get along. Everyone is Baptist in my family
I'm a gay atheist. Boo!
so am I
Oh shit dude don’t scare me like that 😝😂
Geeeed for you
FACT: 90% of Christians just shat themselves after reading that, AH!
خالد what?
I'm christian and I think you can be a wonderful person regardless of what you believe in - or *don't* believe in. Does that help you? Even if just a little bit? :)
Congrats on copying and pasting something you found on the internet trying to trigger me with something that has nothing to do with my comment. Go you! :)
Surprise: I don't care about what you're saying. You won't achieve what you're trying to get here.
Tbh, I don't see your point OR a link between our comments. I'm saying anyone can be a good person and you're saying God sucks. Do you see a connection? Because I don't.
Pardon my ignorance, I meant to say "God would suck if he existed".
Bucket, you really need to just stop, Aella wasn't attacking anyone and was being extremely nice and you just come in aggressive and defensive over nothing. besides what you believe in there is still a person who you are talking to and we should learn to live well together no matter what you believe
This is the most annoying argument!!! Even animals instinctively know not to kill each other unless its for survival... they think humans are so pathetic and that was they preach! We are sinners, we are incomplete, we are flawed. Excuse you. Im not incomplete or flawed and I sure as hell don't need some book or a magical man in the sky to tell me if what I'm doing is bad or not.
ASL Anissa """""book or a magical man in the sky to tell me if what I'm doing is bad or not."""""" If you think religous people have that mindset then you are wrong... Maby in America but not in the rest of the world.....
It's funny because the "we are sinners and flawed" argument inherently contradicts the existence of a designer with a perfect design in mind. We have useless wisdom teeth and vestigial traits--appendixes that could explode and kill us at any moment. We have many inherent design flaws. We either evolved or have a very, very stupid designer.
@ASL Animals know not to kill each other? Since when? Animals aren't moral agents, that's why they're animals and not you know people.
ASL Anissa then why animals are eating babies?
You definitely need a source for good. Thankfully we have that in God..
Moral of the story, if you don't follow a biblical set of morals you can't be a good person. I mean, before that humans were just running around bashing each other with clubs. No pre-christian society followed any set of rules at all. Laws against murder and theivery did not exist before god blessed us with morals. I mean Duh. *disclaimer: Sarcasm*
Dancepartyinmyhead you have the mindset that religion will make you a perfect person
Glad you said Sarcasm! You really got me!
Hellberg exe disclaimer: sarcasm
THERE'S A DISCLAIMER THAT SAYS SARCASM.
(I know you were being sarcastic but I would like ti add one thing) If people think morals vane from god, how did societies form without Christianity being there to begin with? Christianity has only been around for 2,000 years while society) civilization has been around for roughly 12,000 years.
Preach, sister!
.... wait.... wait no
0:00 AHHH!
..........
Oh, hahahaha, it's just silly Jaclyn. Phew! Holy shit, don't scare me like that ever again.
Some of the most moral people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet have not shared my personal faith in God. That’s because morality and religion aren’t interchangeable, nor are they inseparable. Every belief system (or lack of belief system as the case may be) has a set of standards, which can be perceived as morality, and most of the time, these systems overlap on the big things (murder, child abuse, etc.). Where we part company is on the small stuff (the source of our core beliefs).
I will not condemn your atheism because I don’t hold the same beliefs, nor will I say you are immoral because our Venn Diagram of standards doesn’t completely overlap. My faith in God can withstand your lack of faith in Him, and your atheism can withstand my belief in God. And we can both be moral people in the process by following one simple rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. I respect your opinions, even when I don’t agree, because you are open and honest about them. I hope you continue to speak out!
But you're the sweetest thing. You we're so sweet at the concert when I met you (the utah show. You hugged me during the show and it was great)
I wanna be hugged by Jaclyn. I bet she smells good
Rachel T
Idk. I was too busy low-key freaking out because she hugged me and she's even prettier irl xD
She smells like sulfiric acid since she is a devil worshipper.
Ealdy Sure, and I smell like rainbows because I'm gay, right?
Cecil Caudron omg...that would actually be awesome!
“Secular humanism has supplanted morality”?...you do realize that humanism is the belief that people have objective moral worth regardless of there being a god
@andy But why do they people have objective moral worth? If there is no objective authority to morality then how can we assert human beings intrinsic worth?
neosoontoretro I’m not a humanist. I don’t believe anything has objective worth (moral or otherwise). I was just responding to an extremely stupid contradiction
That being said, my understanding of humanism is that it asserts that human moral worth just is. It strikes me as a faith-based position which is why I reject it but that’s the belief
Oh, okay. So you think that morality is just an opinion and not based on anything objective. Alright, at least it's consistent.
neosoontoretro My moral philosophy is based on subjectivity but to say that I think morality is an opinion is misrepresentative
We have a general consensus of what wellbeing is but morality is based on what we can know as fact furthers wellbeing. We care about wellbeing and can mostly agree on it because of rational self interest. We enforce morality primarily through the social contract whenever it’s not enough to rely on our general instinct towards altruism
@andy You can't have it both ways, you can't say your moral philosophy is subjective then say you don't think morality is an opinion. That is what being subjective means, it's someone's opinion.
Need christ in your life? No, you need common sense. End of discussion.
Mythology class made me an athiest, it showed me how many ridiculous religions there are out there.
Harpy Helen Atheism has no answer for the origin of the Big Bang, I wouldn't be so sure about that...
Jefke Theboss, 1. most atheists do not believe that their ancestors came from monkeys. Nobody ever even actually said that, Charles Darwin said we share similar traits with monkeys, not that we are them. 2. Mythology is not the belief in multiple God's, that's polytheism. Mythology just means the study of myths usually from cultural/religious backgrounds. 3. Almost every single religion tells similar stories of the flood. Ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian societies had no idea of the "Noah topic". I don't even get how that's a valid topic you're trying to bring up. All that means is that a long time ago there was a large flood. Also, do not categorize all atheists as 'dumb' when you can't spell "myth" or "different" correctly.
MrLILv104, that is true. However, the bible has no story behind how God got there either. I'm really glad you were respectful and not rude in your reply though, I hope you have an excellent day.
Harpy Helen
1)Why are Atheist scientist like Richard Dawkins saying it? He is the most famous atheist and always come on tv and bring that up while insulting religion?
2) True... But why did they writed about their belief philosophical? The goal of research into myths there is the origin, development and meaning of to figure out, where more is learned about religious practices, the worldview of groups of people and their culture in General... For example:
---- The ancient Egyptians knew in fact no transcendent god, but an immanent. The divine was always and everywhere. Every nature power, supernatural power, legality or facet of the Cosmos was not only nominated, but also referred to with its own Visual representation.. In otherwords polytheism & Mythology is the same because there are alot of stories about diffrent god and in polytheism religion its accepted to talk/write about it and had their own ideas about how the gods world put out....
--- Because of the evil things Egypte did God choose the Jewish people to worship 1 God and they accepted and leave Egypte from slavey... God gave the Old-Testament wich The Bible & Quran comes from...
3) I never said Atheist are dumb I clearly said "dumb Atheist claims" wich i refer to scientific Atheist who brings their own philosophical world view to the public... Btw if you think i'm rude in my reply then you think to be quickly endorsed... Welcome to the internet... Ps Sorry if i'm being rude to you it was never the perpuso to be like that my english is not my main language so maby it comes to rude towards you...
Jefke Theboss Can you tell us why do you think "your" god is the right one? There are thousands of them but you are 💯 % yours is the right one, why? The odds of God even existing is less then 0.0000001. So if you are lucky that your god does exist, you need more luck so the god you believe in is the right one. So living blind your whole life thinking of an imaginary man in the sky must be really bad. I will pray to the spaghetti monster. If you keep believing this blasphemies you will end up burning in the fires of tomato sauce land. I dont want that for you brother. Hope you find the true god.

Thank you for speaking out

Fun Fact: We are all BORN Atheist!
HAZ MAT you are not an atheist. And the correct biblical terminology would be we are born alienated from God, haters of Him who made us in His image
curlicue doo dad: Because no one is born believing ANYTHING.
we are also all born believing the world is flat. im agnostic and i get what you're saying but it's not a good argument.
Slave Of Christ atheist don't hate god at all... we just don't believe he exists :) is that clear?
atheists do indeed hate God, that's why they invest so much time & energy into disproving His existence.
I used to be friends with a particular fundamentalist Christian and his wife, and I actually rented a room from them and lived with them for a while. Then, one day he told me straight to my face that I couldn't have morals because I was an atheist.
About a week or two after that he told me that I had to go to church with him as a condition for continuing to rent the room. Needless to say, I was pissed, but I didn't miss irony that he'd said that *I* was the one with no morals, then he pulled that crap. Something which I could have actually sued him for if he was a legitimate landlord. I moved out a couple of days later.
I'm an atheist. I'm a critical person. I'm the devils advocate. I listen to Rock/alternative music. AM I A HORRIBLE PERSON?! AM IMMORAL? no.
Hey guys, please don't fight. Let's just be respectful and try to disagree nicely😜. A CONVERSATION is a good thing.
NO!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Umm, this is YT...
Since MORALITY CAN'T be SCIENTIFICALLY TESTED ,
as a result ⬇
ATHEISTS SCIENTISM lead to
↪NOT BELIEVE IN Love , Confidence OR NOT BELIEVE IN themselves and others including parents, love ones, people
↪NOT BELIEVE in Purposeful and Meaningful Life , Consciousness, Love, Art and Beauty and other abstract emotional elements...
↪ NOT BELIEVE IN having faith, assumptions, speculations, imagination, ideas, values, good and bad, justice system ETC...
In conclusion, atheism does not believe in morality because morality cannot be scientifically tested.
Beth Roesch I'll do that as soon as christians are ready to actually have a calm conversation instead of telling non believers that we're just a bunch of broken sinners who need to repent or we'll go to hell. It's not us who has a problem with the religious, they're the ones who demonize us
Autistic Owlfan like drugs... Just say NO. I don't care what group someone belongs to, your personal beliefs are exactly that, personal. They try to convince me I can't believe if I won't go to church. Well I say 🖕that. I won't be judged by a group of people who do bad things and try to hide behind a book. I'm the only one responsible for what I believe so I don't feel obligated to explain myself because I don't meet someone else's idea of how I believe. It's my life and I'll do what works for me, not them
Y'all need Yeesus
Yeesus Christ we definitely need you YEEsus

FUCK!!! All these Fox News clips are so disturbing... especially regarding the one about God Bless America being sung before the mass shooting. #cringe

What’s worse?
Fox News who worships money and god, or CNN who worships Islamic Jihadis and the death of America?
Fox News>CNN, and it isn’t even close
I belived in god, but after thinking and researching i became an atheist
Osman Martinez what convinced you?
Stormyseas1779, mostró facts, if a person puts 100 persons in a room and give them, for example, aids, if one of that hundred they will say its a miracle, and a loy more facts
Osman Martinez you are right that a miracle is something that happens against probability but your wrong that it can be negative from my research it’s only defined as a positive outcome against probability
We love you even if you have “no morals” 💜 hugs from Italy

Jaclyn Glenn I seriously love what you are saying, what you stand for and how you go about it. Subscribed!
I recently admitted on channel that I'm an atheist. As a mom on RUclips, I am one of very few moms here who have been open about being atheist. Because viewers assume moms who are atheists are fucking up their kids forever. I lost a lot of subscribers because of that, but it was worth it. I don't toxic asshats like that my channel anyhow. 👌🏻
I was honestly inspired bh you and your channel over the years to finally open up about it to my viewers. Most of them have been extremely nice about it, thank goodness for decent people!
But others asked me what I was going to say in hell when I died, or said I was a bad mother screwing up my daughter, or said that I was a moron and a bitch.
Honestly, their ignorance made me laugh. The fact that they are so complete insecure in their own faith that they need to degrade someone for not believing the same thing as them is a sign of how absolutely pathetic they truly are. 👌🏻
It's truly sad. If you want evidence on why atheist mothers aren't amoral assholes, take my word that my mum is an amazing person and probably better than I'll ever be tbh.
Azure Griffin Same. My mum is so funny and nice to everyone she meets and gives everyone a fair chance to speak their opinion but if they are disrespectful then BIIITCH she fucks them up 😂 but really she is so lovely and guess what? She's an atheist!
+Petite Fox As a Christian i also dont understand the attitude of other Christians.... But according to The Bible it will be Jesus or God that will judge... So all the religous people that say bad things to you will realise they are wrong..
1) Most of people i know are atheist... . I live the reverse of your life because they laugh at me for believing in God :)
Doc Reasonable The Site you gave me dont even exist.... How can you even get hated for not believing in God? Wtf? And btw the people that get hated the most are Muslims and then Christians or jews... Atheist just feel treated bad by getting hated, While in other side of the world Religous people get violence, Insults, Treats, Beatings, Killing & Others.... Those people would be happy to get hated instead of fearing for their lives...
Jefke Theboss People like religious-based terrorism groups and people like the WBC should fear for their lives. If I lived there I would be sent to prison with multiple charges of offence and murder against them
I started off as a Christian then during my sophomore year/junior year I converted to being a atheist due me going through a bad time in my life but then during mid senior year I had something that happen to me and for some reason I felt the urge to go to a church and I felt comforted and then I reconverted to Christianity and I have came to the conclusion that religion is a double edge sword and I say this because religion can be used for good but if left in the wrong hands people will use it to justify evil acts
fallen moon nice name btw, but learn to use punctuation. So, which are you now? Christian or atheist?
Azure Griffin I am a Christian
Early in life I realized that I never truly believed or even cared much for whatever Christian teachings they were trying to instill in me. Never understood or experienced anything spiritual either. Later on found out that it’s basically called being an atheist. Oh well, can’t lie to myself. This seems to be who I am.
I love you and Social Repose. I grew up in a militant, right-wing Christian family and I was the only moderate, left-wing atheist person in my family. I really wish that you and Social repose were my parents. You are both such lovely, wonderful human beings. You are the two best people on RUclips. I love you both so much. It makes me feel sad that I don't really feel like I have a family, but I watch your videos and they comfort me. I wish you could adopt me, but I live in Australia and I'm too close to your age for that to work. What I'm really trying to get at is that I love you and Social Repose. You are my unofficial mum and dad. I love you both so much. You are both so wonderful.
I bet I can predict the next BuzzFeed video... "Atheists Might Be Immoral" Stay tuned...
Oh my gosh... That MIGHT actually happen... Shit.

I'm an atheist.....I really don't get how so many people (christians) get pissy when you bring up your own beliefs. Most of the people I know who are christians went to church as a child so they were basically brainwashed as a child. I wasn't brought up with any kind of religion.
My mother raised me to love, be kind, and work hard. Not to waste a day of the week praying to something that might not be there.
I will never forget, last semester (I'm a college student) I took a class titled "Comparative Religion" and a chick STORMED out because my professor said that Noah's ark was about symbolism and didn't REALLY happen in history. To me, there is so much ignorance in religion and Christianity and Mormonism most of all.
Im an atheist and never did something to harm someone
Morals.... what r those??? Im an atheist, ive never heard of those
Thank you so much for talking about these issues. I’ve been an atheist for around 2 years now and the word atheist still feels like a bad thing to say out loud... even though I am one! I’m tired of having to hide it or play it off like I’m religious to avoid being shamed because I’m not ashamed. I’m proud to be who I am. Watching your videos reminds me that I’m not alone. Thank you
I don't think I've ever seen an atheist kill in the name of their beliefs
Stirgid Lanathiel they didn't kill because they were atheists
Stirgid Lanathiel atheism is a lack of belief btw, so no it's not. It's not a philosophy.
Stirgid Lanathiel Evidence of that?
nick yeah atheist just kill for fun, even scarier..
MrLILv104 what kind of ignorant bullshit is that?
Bitch I love you, and I didnt need religion to tell me to love someone 😎
The Idea of the Bible as a moral compass is fucking hilarious. The book is jammed with incest, rape, genocide, all sorts of horrific immoral reprehensible bullshit.
Frank Martin “The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. ... DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.”
-Richard Dawkins
Frank Martin Richard Rorty, a popular atheist philosopher, gives us a different perspective on the same truth: “There is no answer to the question, ‘Why not be cruel?’
Frank Martin
C.S. Lewis said: “My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”
Watching this while dressing up as Lillie for a Halloween party.
My Christian friend who doesn’t really like the fact I’m gay asked my other friend when they get to kill me as a joke.
I respond with: “Only if I choose the way you do it.”
Christian friend: “Quick and painless?”
Me: “No, long and painful!”
Me: “I want to be Stoned to death!”
Other friend: *doesn’t understand*
Me: *explains why I said I wanted to be Stoned to death*
Liberator of Knightly Oath, Zildon Knight HAHA
I’m someone who holds on to memories of the past, and I have fond memories with that friend. He understands he needs to keep his mouth shut and that he needs to do careful about with he says around me. I said Stoning as a “Gotcha bitch” thing to say. I feel bad for the guy because he basically a teddy bear, a teddy bear that’s mind has been poisoned by christianity, his family also goes to the “cult church” (if you know what I mean) of our town.
Liberator of Knightly Oath, Zildon Knight You dont even know History.... Do you really want to know how they treated people in acient times? lol.... Being stoned to death was very common and actualy their are mutch worser methodes then being stoned to death in acient history.... The fact that Jesus himself got stoned because he helped & healed the poor/sick people says enough how the mindset of people where in those times.... Also They gave a women to Jesus because the women commited adultery and they wanted to hear Jesus his opinion(in those times they stone a women to death and its done by everybody) But do you know what Jesus said? Who commited no Sin can trow the first stone... And everybody leaved the place and the women was saved.....
Jefke Theboss We don’t believe in Jesus lol
Jenna Couldn’t have said that better myself!
ugh i cant stand fox news & ive always hated how you are only a good person if you have jesus, I grew up going to a catholic school & encountered enough bad ppl who still had jesus to know how much of brainwashed mind controlled, indoctrinated minds can exist. What about the horrible people that all of a sudden find god and jesus so that means anything they did before they arent held accountable before because now they are good christian ppl...so fucking stupid.... I can't even watch fox news....ugh. Youre awesome tho keep doing what you do!
Yup same
I nearly feel compelled to create a channel propelled by atheistic generalizations of Christians. Both sides paint a truly appalling picture of the group as a whole, and it is tiring constantly attempting not to be lumped in with those select individuals. Know not all of us are weak minded enough to think these absurdities~
Technically, you don't want to be good or bad because they are both the same thing, they are both, evil! Want proof, well, an easy one would be, being a cop. He/she would have us believe that they represent doing good by protecting us from the bad guy. The thing is, the more good they do, by incarcerating, extorting and potentially killing criminals, the more evil or bad they've done to do good at their job. There are several other ways to show how good and bad are same, but I think this will do for now!
My belief, is that most people, regardless of religious beliefs (or lack thereof ) still believes in the idea of consciousness, and that to end someone’s life, someone else’s existence, and there chance for happiness, is bad. Atheist≠ Nihilist.
Jaclyn, I know this frustrated you to no end, bc I feel the same way. I am tired of the labeling and the blaming and the finger pointing. If burning at the stake was still legal I am sure many an atheist wouldn't be here right now. But, there is a silver lining, for me at least. You go on here and you make those of us surrounded on all sides by walls of indocrination and religion, feel less alone. Through the stupidity and hurt, you make us laugh. That is a gift, honey. I finally came out to my parents about my lack of belief. I was scared, not gonna lie. And they weren't happy, which is no surprise (and I am sure I am bound to a future full of attempts to pull me back from the brink of hell LOL). But you helped me be brave enough to stop hiding who I was inside, what I really thought and believed. For that, I am truly grateful. So you see? Stupid stuff like this will happen, and girl, if you want to find stupid, just watch FoxNews (What were you thinking?? haha). You may think you don't make a difference but you do. You did for me. And Matt Dillihunty and Amon Ra, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson- all of you have made me know it's ok to be me, and to not hide it anymore. So thanks. :) Much love XOXO
I know this I'm a much better person as an atheist then I ever was as a Christian
Johnny Goodson Amen to that. In all seriousness.
Johnny Goodson Hello Johnny, if by "better" you mean that you're making "better" choices as an atheist, then I want to ask you what was prohibiting you from making those "better" choices when you were a Christian?

Lmao who says atheists have no morals? I mean maybe it's bc I love in Canada and Ik many atheists.... some ppl are surprised when they hear I'm an atheist but they get over it
Nobody says that, this is just another clickbait video aimed at morons.
"You do not need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion"
- Jaclyn 2017 speaking the truth!
All religions = Mental illness and mass delusion.
Please share with me which sane person believes in a Zombie Jesus or that a person can live inside a fish. It is totally mental illness!!!
Are you implying that only people born into a religious household turn to religion? Once a person develops enough intelligence to use reason and logic and then continues to believe the fairytales they were force fed, that denotes a damaged brain to me.
I'd argue that's not true for the bible at least since I've learned a mythological perspective on the bible is pretty enlightening (Dr. Peterson).
that's a bit ignorant, I wouldn't say all religions, but all ideologies.
and mental illnesses are genetic, not delusions.
ideologies can be misguiding. not a cause for bad genes...

I fully believe I'm an atheist cuz I don't believe in god. However, I do believe SOMETHING like a spirit or something holds power and control but more like an unknown source... I was raised christian but don't believe in god so this is complicated to mr

@@jakwolfe3025 Yah that's called being Agnostic.
I’m an atheist and I have a tremendous sense of empathy and I couldn’t hurt a fly but I completely disagree with prayer. However a moment of silence in schools is a good thing in the wake of tragedy because it gives students a chance to mentally process what they have learnt and IF a student wishes to pray silently for comfort, they can. If they want to cry, they can. A moment of silence allows you to get in your own head. Everyone processes everything differently and a moment of silence allows you to get into your own and deal with it or at the very least, begin dealing with it.

dude that so kick ass awesome
Well here is the ironic part, if you're only doing "good things" (i.e being honest, helping others, donating to the poor, etc..) because you wish to gain a reward (go to heaven) or avoid punishment (going to hell) then are you really a good person at all? Since you're only being good b/c of something for YOU (gain reward or avoid punishment) then you're not good at all! Selfish motivation is what it comes down to. TRULY good people will do good things regardless because they want to not because they feel they have to.
It's the same thing with rules and laws... they're just a deterrent.

i'm catholic, but i don't believe atheists are moraless. it's simply common sense to not kill someone or rape someone. there's bad people in every religion whether you want to believe it or not. many of my closest friends are athetists. i don't like when religious people force their shit on others and when atheists do the same. as long as you are not harming anyone, in my book, you're perfectly okay.

Morals/virtue come from empathy, not religion
No empathy comes from empathy. There is no scientific evidence that empathy leads to morality.
If only it was that simple
