@@Aenygma_ Look the word up. More than one meaning and he correctly used it in an acceptable way. Some synonyms for it are: measure, standard, indicator, basis, yardstick and more. An additional definition: something that reflects a change in circumstances or opinions. While you are correct about the primary meaning of the word barometer, it, like many words in the English language has acceptable alternate meanings. Compass is a prime example. It is literally a device to aid in physical direction. It is also used as a direction in your moral beliefs, as in your moral compass.
@@ibrarali7032 I love how you guys always want the people NOT believing in something impossible to explain science to you. Try to imagine "nothing" first. What is a "nothing," Ibrar?" Start there. You can't even imagine or think about a nothing. Does nothing exist?
So his mentality is if an atheists explains themselves to just walk away? Like he says. He doesn't understand it. So when a Christian, Jehovah's witness comes up to you, you call them an idiot and walk away? Good morals Steve 👍
So being an atheist isnt ignorant? Atheists are not rational. Imagine thinking everything perfectly coming into place happened by chance over billions of years. This is not even a god of the gaps argument. Space time and metter had a beginning. Therefore the Creator of it cannot be made by it. The Creator must transcend it. That perfectly fits what we know as God
@@SirAlex14115 I don't see atheists as ignorant at all. I find them logical and rational thinkers. I find that religious people seem to lack the ability to think out of the box of what they have been trained to think. My personal truth is that, the creator is All that exist, and everything outside of it is an illusion. There is no god in the illusion except a false god.
@@SirAlex14115 What evidence do you have to claim any such low chance for the existence of our universe? Even if the chance for it was extraordinarily low, that's not proof against a natural origin. There is not one person nor scientist who can go outside of our universe to test that and anyone who claims that they can is either FOS or at an extreme misaprehension. You guys just made that up. Steve Harvey is not ignorant because he's a Christian, he's ignorant because he's Steve Harvey. Besides, everyone is ignorant of something.
Nichole D - Same place religious people do. Any religious person who 'picks and chooses' what to follow from their religious texts is using judgement outside religion to decide how to act. That outside influence is generally the society around them and society chooses their morals on what they think is best for them as a whole in regards to their well being and health. Religious people will simply find correlations between their texts and what society encourages or allows and say 'SEE! Its from religion' when in fact its the other way around. If Christian Americans got their morals from the bible they would still be owning slaves and treating them in line with how the book mandates.

I am an atheist myself and an anti-religious person, and I think religion is one of the only things that is holding us back as a species, but I also like the method of tolerance more than mockery. I honestly think that I don't think that believing in religion or God has a future. In cases like this, people have to realise that science is full of benefits. From the transistor of our CPU to the James Webb telescope, science has so many amazing things that can and will provide us with countless benefits, but overall, I think we should try to solve things with as little as possible human suffering, no matter what someone's belief is.
That's true, even evil spirits and demons believe and know God. But don't take him as lord. This is why christianity is different from religion. Because a sinner someone who cheats, someone who is a drug addict and accepts christ, he surely will continue in addiction and God will keep loving him and later he will gradually with the help of God break that habit. God still loves us when we sin, the devil uses our actions to tell us we will never fit in.

Even if macro-evolution is true, it fails to account for the starting material. Also, even if its true, there has to be some intelligent being co-ordinating it. Spontaneous reactions dont leave order; it leaves chaos. Human kind is designed in order, not randomly. We already know that space, time and matter had a beginning.

Sodom and Gomorrha was destroyed because of the sexual perversion that permeated all level of society in those days..It is not natural for man to have sexual relationship with another man and so is a woman with another woman. Look at our bodies, we use that for eliminating waste..not for sexual intercourse. It is just mind blowing how many people can justify such unacceptable sexual behavior. We are all sinners but we should also be critical each of other when something unacceptable is being condoned..It is only with criticism and condemnation of aberrant behaviors that we can safeguard our moral fiber as decent human beings.

Science is just....science. you can't have a scientific evidence for a powerful being such as God. That would be really silly and most people would leave their religions and i'm one of them.

Your hypothesis has a flaw, in that it posits that the universe is a creation and thus must have a creator. There is no evidence that the universe is a creation, so your premise is flawed from the outset.
It kind of fits in his context. Without a high pressure system weighing down from Heaven he doesn't understand how anyone can figure out their morality. He needs the fear of hell to motivate him or something. I guess not everyone can be moral just because it's nicer for everyone involved.
Johan Swan. "Behind any painting is a painter.....behind any design is a designer ......... behind creation is a creator...." OK.... then tell us who created the creator?
It actually does. Things that appear obvious to at least most people for some rationality is common sense. It all depends on the context and application. If you ask me to perform rocket surgery, I can’t do that with common sense. But if you were to ask me to give you a basic moral foundation, it’s the fact that we are social creatures with certain intuitions about living in the kind of society we would like to live in, and acting in a way that produces that outcome. Would you like to live in a society where everyone went around punching everyone they see in the nose? I don’t either. So why should we do it then?

The fulfillment of prophecies will serve as proof that God exist. God's promise that He will bring His people back in the land In 1948 the Jews return to the land after having been scattered from all over the world for more than 2000 years after they were expelled by the Romans during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 A.D Mark Twain, a famous American writer and journalist visited Israel in 1867. This is how he described the land, " A hopeless, dreary and heart-broken land" Before the re-establishment of Israel back in 1948, the land was almost empty and desolate as Mark Twain attested when he went to visit Israel in 1867. But when the Jews came after the holocaust, they tilled the land armed only with simple tools to cultivate it. With God's help, the desert bloomed again. This fulfilled the prophecy in Ezekiel 34:29 "And I will make their land famous for its crops, so my people will never again suffer from famines or the insults of foreign nations" "Thus said the Lord God: ...you, O mountains of Israel, shall yield your produce and bear your fruit for My people Israel, for their return is near. For I will care for you: I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will settle a large population on you, the whole House of Israel; the towns shall be resettled, and the ruined sites rebuilt. I will multiply men and beasts upon you, and they shall increase and be fertile, and I will resettle you as you were formerly, and will make you more prosperous than you were at first. And you shall know that I am the Lord. I will lead... My people Israel to you, and they shall possess you. You shall be their heritage, and you shall not again cause them to be bereaved." (Ezek. 36:8-12) Israel is a desert and lacks water to develop its agricultural lands but israel has become the biggest exporter of fruits, vegetables, and flowers overseas. It even supplied flowers to the Netherland which is a well-known international exporter of flowers. These are just two of the prophecies that have been fulfilled, the return of the Jewish people back to the land after 2000 years of being scattered all over the world. And the restoration of agricultural lands that produces more and better crops for Israel.
You will find God if you seek Him with all your heart. I found Him and so are many others. Brother, God made a promise that those who seek Him with all their hearts will find Him..He was even found by those who never sought Him out of His mercy. I think those who doubt the existence of God and the afterlife must look at the claims of so many atheists and believers about their journey in the spiritual realm. Some in visions and dreams, while others had such mind boggling experience during NDE [near death experience]. These people who have such claims come from different ethnicities, social and educational backgrounds, and religious beliefs [including atheists] These atheists changed their views about God and the afterlife after their authentic Spiritual experience with God.
It's pretty mind-blowing that religious people are some of the most judgemental, narcissistic and evil individuals I have personally ever met as atheists are some of the most open-minded, nicest, non-judgmental individuals that would literally give you the shirt off their back regardless of what Fairytales you believe in.
@Jaden Kees He's saying that he's a bigoted asshole who has no use for atheists and won't even talk to one of us. Yeah sure, that's not offensive. If you believe in fairy tales and ancient myths that mean shit and are trying to live by the bigotry, misogyny, incest, slavery, homophobia, death and slaughter in the bible and you won't even speak to someone who might have a great or even better idea, then you are a nasty person who judges others if you won't even acknowledge them or have a conversation with them. That's pretty low. You are dismissing a helluva lot of the population on earth. Why, because this prick, Steve, thinks he's better? Fat chance. What a closed-minded fool who's afraid of a deep conversation with anyone who doesn't believe what he does. Afraid he might learn something.

But I definitely see where your coming from?: there are alot of people who may be well intended? But don't read or understand the Bible.

The misogyny, the owning of slaves and using the bible as an excuse, the hating of everyone, the persecution of women, slaves, people of colour, anyone who doesn't worship the same god. The persecution of gay people or anyone who doesn't share a narrow vision of sexuality. FFS! Idiot preachers yelling at everyone that god saves, god heals, god protects but ONLY if you give him all of your love, more than you do your kids, your spouse, the earth until you destroy it all. Criminal preachers everywhere taking everyone's money by the boatload, scamming everyone they can. Twisting morality until it's a greater sin to be late for a niece's baptism than it is to steal a parking space from a handicapped person. Oh, are we sick of religious morality! Taking away women's rights, gay rights, everyone's rights! SICK! Then when we finally say, "ENOUGH! it's time for the truth, we get, "You're mean, you're supposed to respect us!" So many of us are tired of slapping ourselves in the forehead because we seem to speak another language.
E dept that Christians do the same. Uh, Jesus gave His LIFE. Much more than any shirt off anybody's back. Judgement is God's. THAT is what Chistians proclaim. It isn't their own judgement.
I don't understand the whole "What gives you morals if not for threat of hell" thing. We decide on it, as a society, and we follow it if we're good, kind, or even just decent people on the lowest level. It's almost as if these people would be horrible people themselves, if not for the threat of a bigger fish coming along after death to pay them back later.

@@dollarbill2208 I think you are right about that? Let's be clear about terms, though! An atheist is technically anyone who does not believe in god. That does not mean an atheist necessarily BELIEVES god does not exist. Rather, the threshold is that atheist typically withhold belief of god in the absence of sufficient evidence. There are also man-made levels of atheism. A strong atheist is one who strongly does not believe in god (i.e. actually believes that god does not exist - not simply withholding belief in the absence of evidence). NDT doesn't like being called an atheist because it conjures up images of anti-religious, forceful people protesting anything religion. He doesn't want to be thought of as intolerant to other viewpoints.

That's only half the story. The other half is that society's morals have largely been shaped by human evolution. If you think about it really long and hard, what society collectively deems as moral tends to prolong the evolutionary life of the human species. Our collective moral traits (what we deem as moral) were naturally selected and is why we are still here (as a species). Moral traits like sharing, compassion, cooperation allowed us to survive (we are the results of these naturally selected moral traits). Of course, this evolutionary process is not consciously planned (therefore - not perfect!). We've also inherited undesirable traits - many more extreme than others. So far, our species killing traits have not cancelled our mutually beneficial, moral traits - hence, why we are still here as a species. Of course, Steve Harvey believes in insta-magic - not the more rational evolutionary process that uncovers the fact that things...whether astronomical objects and systems OR earth life - starts in very simple stages and gains increasing complexity very gradually over millions (and billions) of years. Rather - Steve, Harvey thinks all this complexity is instantly popped into existence by magic. What "process" sounds more plausible to you?
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 Wow. I'll wager that the night's must fly by in your house. But yeah, I get the point, and I see where you're coming from.

He says it's mysterious that this all came out of nothing, but that's not nearly as mysterious as a god capable of creating all of this coming out of nothing.

Axel Smith so what you're saying is that it's illogical for bad people to get away with things? You basically believe in God because you don't want to accept that people can get away with evil.
This is the FIRST time that I have EVER seen this. I idolize Mr. Harvey, more than I respect Trump (I don't respect Trump at all). I am shocked that my personal hero would isolate a whole growing population the way he did, and was never held accountable for that.
Morals are man made. That’s where people get them, whether there’s a god or not. Then he says he doesn’t even know what an atheist is, then says he wouldn’t date one because they have no morals.

He said "barometer" which is even more stupid. What does that measure, the atmospheric pressure of morality? Rofl.
@@Aenygma_ Look the word up. More than one meaning and he correctly used it in an acceptable way. Some synonyms for it are: measure, standard, indicator, basis, yardstick and more. An additional definition: something that reflects a change in circumstances or opinions. While you are correct about the primary meaning of the word barometer, it, like many words in the English language has acceptable alternate meanings. Compass is a prime example. It is literally a device to aid in physical direction. It is also used as a direction in your moral beliefs, as in your moral compass.

@@SirAlex14115 I don't see atheists as ignorant at all. I find them logical and rational thinkers.

@@SirAlex14115 What evidence do you have to claim any such low chance for the existence of our universe? Even if the chance for it was extraordinarily low, that's not proof against a natural origin.

My morals were instilled in me by my parents, grandparents and teachers.
Debbie D the follow up question to that would be, where did they get their morals to instill in you? (This is being said respectfully to you. ☮)
Well, objectively speaking, so were religious people's. Religion exists for a reason, it's to instill moral consistency.
Aaah so that's the reason it exists. Not because any of it is actually true. Makes sense now,
Nichole D - from their parents, grandparents and teachers.. how long do you want to go on with this?
Nichole D - Same place religious people do. Any religious person who 'picks and chooses' what to follow from their religious texts is using judgement outside religion to decide how to act. That outside influence is generally the society around them and society chooses their morals on what they think is best for them as a whole in regards to their well being and health.
Religious people will simply find correlations between their texts and what society encourages or allows and say 'SEE! Its from religion' when in fact its the other way around. If Christian Americans got their morals from the bible they would still be owning slaves and treating them in line with how the book mandates.

Ignorance!!!
I am an atheist myself and an anti-religious person, and I think religion is one of the only things that is holding us back as a species, but I also like the method of tolerance more than mockery. I honestly think that I don't think that believing in religion or God has a future. In cases like this, people have to realise that science is full of benefits. From the transistor of our CPU to the James Webb telescope, science has so many amazing things that can and will provide us with countless benefits, but overall, I think we should try to solve things with as little as possible human suffering, no matter what someone's belief is.
Atheists believe in miracles
I am not an atheist. But, even I know that that just because you SAY you believe in God, it doesn't mean you're a good person.
couldn't be said better.
That's true, even evil spirits and demons believe and know God. But don't take him as lord.
This is why christianity is different from religion. Because a sinner someone who cheats, someone who is a drug addict and accepts christ, he surely will continue in addiction and God will keep loving him and later he will gradually with the help of God break that habit.

Johan Swan. "Behind any painting is a painter.....behind any design is a designer ......... behind creation is a creator...."
OK.... then tell us who created the creator?
Here’s your moral barometer: Common Sense.
Common sense doesn’t exist.
It actually does. Things that appear obvious to at least most people for some rationality is common sense. It all depends on the context and application. If you ask me to perform rocket surgery, I can’t do that with common sense. But if you were to ask me to give you a basic moral foundation, it’s the fact that we are social creatures with certain intuitions about living in the kind of society we would like to live in, and acting in a way that produces that outcome. Would you like to live in a society where everyone went around punching everyone they see in the nose? I don’t either. So why should we do it then?
No actual tangible thing called common sense.
Use philosophy then

The fulfillment of prophecies will serve as proof that God exist.
God's promise that He will bring His people back in the land
In 1948 the Jews return to the land after having been
scattered from all over the world for more than 2000
years after they were expelled by the Romans during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 A.D
Mark Twain, a famous American writer and journalist visited Israel in 1867. This is how he described the land,
" A hopeless, dreary and heart-broken land"
Before the re-establishment of Israel back in 1948, the land was almost empty and desolate
as Mark Twain attested when he went to visit Israel in 1867.
But when the Jews came after the holocaust, they tilled the land armed only with simple tools to cultivate it.
With God's help, the desert bloomed again.
This fulfilled the prophecy in
Ezekiel 34:29
"And I will make their land famous for its crops,
so my people will never again suffer from famines or
the insults of foreign nations"
"Thus said the Lord God: ...you, O mountains of Israel, shall yield your produce and bear your fruit for My people Israel, for their return is near. For I will care for you: I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will settle a large population on you, the whole House of Israel; the towns shall be resettled, and the ruined sites rebuilt. I will multiply men and beasts upon you, and they shall increase and be fertile, and I will resettle you as you were formerly, and will make you more prosperous than you were at first. And you shall know that I am the Lord. I will lead... My people Israel to you, and they shall possess you. You shall be their heritage, and you shall not again cause them to be bereaved." (Ezek. 36:8-12)
Israel is a desert and lacks water to develop its agricultural lands
but israel has become the biggest exporter of fruits, vegetables, and flowers
overseas. It even supplied flowers to the Netherland which is a well-known international exporter of flowers.
These are just two of the prophecies that have been fulfilled, the return of the Jewish people back to the land
after 2000 years of being scattered all over the world. And the restoration of agricultural lands that produces
more and better crops for Israel.
You will find God if you seek Him with all your heart. I found Him and so are many others. Brother, God made a promise that those who seek Him with all their hearts will find Him..He was even found by those who never sought Him out of His mercy.
I think those who doubt the existence of God and the afterlife must look at the claims of so many atheists and believers about their journey in the spiritual realm. Some in visions and dreams, while others had such mind boggling experience during NDE [near death experience].
These people who have such claims come from different ethnicities, social and educational backgrounds, and religious beliefs [including atheists] These atheists changed their views about God and the afterlife after their authentic Spiritual experience with God.

The misogyny, the owning of slaves and using the bible as an excuse, the hating of everyone, the persecution of women, slaves, people of colour, anyone who doesn't worship the same god. The persecution of gay people or anyone who doesn't share a narrow vision of sexuality. FFS! Idiot preachers yelling at everyone that god saves, god heals, god protects but ONLY if you give him all of your love, more than you do your kids, your spouse, the earth until you destroy it all.

Twisting morality until it's a greater sin to be late for a niece's baptism than it is to steal a parking space from a handicapped person. Oh, are we sick of religious morality! Taking away women's rights, gay rights, everyone's rights! SICK!
Then when we finally say, "ENOUGH! it's time for the truth, we get, "You're mean, you're supposed to respect us!" So many of us are tired of slapping ourselves in the forehead because we seem to speak another language.
E dept that Christians do the same. Uh, Jesus gave His LIFE. Much more than any shirt off anybody's back. Judgement is God's. THAT is what Chistians proclaim. It isn't their own judgement.
I don't understand the whole "What gives you morals if not for threat of hell" thing. We decide on it, as a society, and we follow it if we're good, kind, or even just decent people on the lowest level.
It's almost as if these people would be horrible people themselves, if not for the threat of a bigger fish coming along after death to pay them back later.

@@dollarbill2208 I think you are right about that? Let's be clear about terms, though!
An atheist is technically anyone who does not believe in god. That does not mean an atheist necessarily BELIEVES god does not exist. Rather, the threshold is that atheist typically withhold belief of god in the absence of sufficient evidence.
There are also man-made levels of atheism. A strong atheist is one who strongly does not believe in god (i.e. actually believes that god does not exist - not simply withholding belief in the absence of evidence).
NDT doesn't like being called an atheist because it conjures up images of anti-religious, forceful people protesting anything religion. He doesn't want to be thought of as intolerant to other viewpoints.

Nothing in religion has or can be proven. Not even a God. I don't believe in God but I'm not out here knocking old folks over and robbing banks either. But it's funny that the majority of mass murderers are also "God fearing ppl". So how much morality does the concept of a God really give u?
"Where's your moral barometer?"
How old were you when you were told that killing and stealing were bad, or did you just know it?
Barometer: an instrument measuring atmospheric pressure, used especially in forecasting the weather and determining altitude.
Now, let’s check in with our local weather man, Steve Harvey on all the latest moral forecasts and school closures.
Harvey, how’s it looking out there?
I'm an Atheist and so was my late husband. When we were 23yo, he was crippled in an accident. Our daughter was just 7 months old. I took care of him for ten years after that. I'm still caring for our daughter. I wish I could have taken care of him for fifty more. We were celibate after the accident. I was both faithful and celibate, from 23 to 33, and I had a HIGH sex drive.
Wanna get together some time?:)
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 I married again after being widowed. Biggest mistake of my life. I'm only dating women now.
@@goddessmelanisia As you know, my first reply was a joke. But you bring up something VERY interesting that I occasionally think about.
So PLEASE, PLEASE stick with me a moment.
So...are you saying that men tend to have less empathy and are more soul-less, etc? And are women less into "meat" shopping at a meat market and more into what really matters - like personality?
Is it things like this that drives you away from men and towards women now?
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 I'm afraid of men now. Terrified. Can't be alone in a room with one. Can't have one in my home. My 24 year old nephew came to visit and I had anxiety attacks the entire time. Went to the doctors last week and had to ask the lovely young nurse to leave the door open, because I was afraid of him. It's not about empathy or sympathy. My ex-husband tried to destroy my mind. He threw things at me, destroyed my property, punched mirrors, towered over me, gaslit me and would even wake me from a dead sleep by pounding on the bedroom door and screaming at me. He claims none of it was abuse because he never actually hit me. That was just the last straw though. Every man I've ever known has abused me. My father used a belt, my brother used a fist. My late husband became a good man eventually, but early in our marriage he was abusive. I had a (male) preacher chastise me for "putting myself in a man's place" For managing the finances, doing yard work, and changing my own oil after my late husband was left with the mind of a child for three years, and could barely walk. Why should I put myself in a position to be tortured in the name of love again?
@@goddessmelanisia should show you there is a right a wrong, and morality is not subjective.
If you need the threat of an all powerful sky fairy watching you to make you good then it's you who has the dubious morals.
Steve Harvey where is his moral barometer when he cheated and beat his wife?
Is there a source for that?
What do moral parameters have to do with gods?
Godless moral barometer: does this (whatever) decision positively/negatively impact the health, well-being, or comfort of a conscious creature?
"If you don't believe in god you gots to have an explanation for all this". Yeah? Ok then it was all created by the flying spaghetti monster there you go theres your explanation. Just as valid as God.
I believe in the flying spaghetti monster.
Bro can we start a religion of that lmao. It will for sure piss off many Christians
@@noquemacuhh1967 It already is a religion.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Pastafarianism, a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools. According to adherents, Pastafarianism (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarianism) is a "real, legitimate religion, as much as any other". It has received some limited recognition as such."
"National branches of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster have been striving in many countries to have Pastafarianism become an officially (legally) recognized religion, with varying degrees of success. In New Zealand, Pastafarian representatives have been authorized as marriage celebrants, as the movement satisfies criteria laid down for organisations that primarily promote religious, philosophical, or humanitarian convictions."

What the hell is a moral barometer? A barometer measures air pressure.
"All this spun out of a gastrous ball"
an athiests morals come from being a good person, raised with ethics and actually believing in treating other people with respect and the good they may do is through choice and personality.
This fools good deeds will be born out of fear of repercussions or to bribe his way in to "heaven". Nothing against religious people but there is something very wrong with veiwing this world as a waiting area until you reach an eternal resting place.

A barometer measures pressure… so wtf is moral pressure? And why should it be significant?
It actually comes down to a fear of learning. Of not being ignorant, nor a bigot. I’ve seen and heard many various “religious” people not want to learn anything outside their religion.
Yeah. They're scared of learning because they might be confronted by their worst fears: that the Universe was not created especially for them by their particular Sky-God - and they aren't so "special" that their Sky-God won't really let them die.
When Reality terrifies you and leaves you feeling overwhelmed it's very easy to retreat into a Fantasy-World of Magical-thinking - call it your Religion - and simply refuse to be talked-out of it.
It's sad, childish and pathetic. I pity them.
Nothing against religion as a whole or any specific religion, I respect every religion completely. But it really frustrates me if someone says atheists have no moral compass when religion has motivated a lot of people to do some very horrible things.
Religious people are arrogant and they disqualify everyone who don’t believe in their stupid magic tales. I can’t respect them.
@@gilbertoloyola297 You’re basically doing the same thing “those” religious people did which is You’re criticizing and refusing to respect an entire group of people (Religious people) based on the actions of a few of them.
@@maxwellblaze7902 I don't respect silly beliefs. No one should. I can respect good people and respect good actions but no, I don't respect beliefs based on nothing but mythology with no sound evidence and that are logically impossible; especially if we're just "told we have to because!" That causes so much trouble and ignorance to flourish.
@@paulagwhyte1720 What are you even on about it?? Did you even read my comment? Go look at the comment i was responding to. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy in his statement
@@maxwellblaze7902 But you are still expecting us to respect people based upon their beliefs and I cannot. I can respect them for their actions, for the good they do, but not for their beliefs. The belief in god is ridiculous, outdated: it's a mythology and not a good nor logical one. So, I have family and friends who are religious and I can respect the good they do in the world simply because that's their personality, because they don't realize they would do that good anyway despite their religion and I can see that in them. I can respect their intelligence in all other areas. I can respect their hard work, all their great qualities....but I cannot respect a silly belief if they hold one. So no, I'm not condemning them as a person or a whole group of people, I'm condemning the belief that they refuse to let go, no matter how much evidence they are given that it isn't true. And if they are the type of person who will not even talk about it properly, debate decently, or even everyone else to,) but they won't. Then I can't respect that either. That is why I disagreed with what you said and what I meant in my reaction.
would you respect. my beliefs if I was totally convinced that I had an invisible pink, floating dragon in my backyard and no one else could see it, but I was converting a LOT of people to believe this too and half of all religions were now giving me tons of money and donating to my ministry of the invisible pink dragon because if you don't, your life will fall to ruin and moral decay and in the end she'll blow her fire on you and your family will burn painfully forever. But IF you join now and worship Pinky, on your knees, and eat her invisible poop, and praise her daily and nightly, she will caress you with her hot breath and you will live forever in the haven of my back yard??
You must believe and respect all of us believers!! It's not OK to just say you respect us, you MUST respect us. RESPECT MY BELIEF. PINKY is all-powerful!
Ever feel a warm breeze out of nowhere? That's Pinky communicating with you!
Ever feel warmth in your heart? PInky again.
That warm glow you feel sometimes? Pinky gives you that!
Campfire started easily? Hallelujah, Pinky!
When the misguided Sir Lancelot killed Pinky so long ago, she rose again! And flew into the heavens and straight to this area and settled here, right in what is now my backyard and I am her messenger on earth. YOU MUST RESPECT ME!
I agree with Ricky though I'm not 'thanking god.'
What does morality have to do with gods and religion?

This is why I really hate knowing the private thoughts of entertainers. I like Steve Harvey, but now every time I see him this will be in my mind.
You have right to not believe in God, religious people make it seem like they got logical actual proof of his existence.
Do you have logical actual proof God doesn't exist?

Evolution is a scientific fact.
It's not a fact, it's a well researched theory.
Mark Vilen it is a well researched theory with a lot of hints that it is in fact true. Whereas other theories don't have as much research or proof.
You don't have to "believe" facts.
Evolution is not a theory, it hasn't been a theory since the 20th century.
Axel Smith You can expect and think whatever you want from me “for being an atheist”, (which just make you look even more stupid than before) but honestly, I don’t expect even the slightest thing from you, you’re just a mere imbecile with nothing better to do with his insignificant life than believe in fairy tales and comment stupidities on RUclips that you don’t know about which only reveals how idiotic you’re, and by the way, this may be my last comment responding to you because sincerely I have better ways to waste my time than arguing with a mentally challenged child-like autistic chimp with brain tumors, cognitive dissonance, and extra chromosomes as you
I have a hard time believing that a single all- powerful being created the whole universe and put his chosen on one planet out of billions, then hasn't been seen or heard of for a couple of centuries... and I'M the idiot?
Steve basically said "I refuse to be ignorant of how we came into being so I will believe in a magic man in the sky."
And there goes any respect I had for Steve Harvey.
Imagine that, before the 10 Commandments no one knew it was wrong to murder, steal and lie.
They knew. That's why they were punished for doing those things long before the Ten Commandments were formally codified as laws
I was at a Family Dollar a few years back at Christmastime; I was in the checkout line, with a dude ahead of me. After the clerk finished bagging the customer's items, the guy said, "Merry Christmas," and the clerk said, "I'm an atheist." The customer just snarled at the clerk, "What the fck is wrong with you? You worship Satan?" Clerk: "I don't believe in him, either." I actually thought that the customer was gonna hit the clerk, but he didn't...
Steve harvey, what you believe is not the problem. What you think everyone should believe, is the problem.
My respect for this man just flew right out the window. This is the man whose motivational speeches helped me develop a more positive lifestyle. Good to know that THIS is what he thinks of me!
Imagine only being a moral person to get into heaven or avoid going to hell. Atheists who do good do so just because they want to be good and help people, not to appease an imaginary being.
every religion is based on mythology Mr living proof of evolution
Thanks for the tip on how to get rid of you fast, Steve.
I was surprised by his statements. I don't plan on watching anything with him with him in it.
"What father picks a few just to leave the rest?
I heard a voice inside my head that disagreed."
I have a moral tachometer.
Unfathomable Ignorance! He puts the burden of proof on non-believers instead of giving any kind of evidence for his own beliefs.
A living example of how religion makes good people say stupid things .
Not just stupid but also evil and wicked things, and it’s coming from a man who cheated on his wives.

Who the fuck said Steve was/is good?
I agree i would rather believe and feel safe than not believe and wonder what my fate is.
I'm an atheist and I have no prejudice against a person because of their religion. You can certainly believe what you want to believe, but to totally blow off everyone else's beliefs is just ignorant. And you CAN be a good, caring person without religion -- I prove that every day and so do other atheists.
Steve Harvey’s not much of a thinker, is he? I guess he expects God to do his thinking for him.
Seem to me that/that's his personal conviction, and would strongly refuse anyone or anything to enlighten him otherwise. A lot of people use god as a weapon for hate.
Brad75 He expects specifically the god of the bible to do his thinking for him. You know - the god who endorses slavery upon which the American system of slavery was justified (enslaving some of his very ancestors). The god who endorsed the slaughter of innocent women and children who happen to belong to the wrong nation...so on, and so forth.
There may well be a god. But it's not the god of the bible (whom has been thoroughly scientifically disproven - at least as his character and events as they are described throughout the bible).

I'm really disappointed in Steve. I always thought he was an OK fellow, and then he come's out with this argument. It's quite ignorant, mildly aggressive and very offensive. I have a perfectly working 'moral barometer' based on common sense and a good education of humanity and its code's. I am really surprised that a guy like Steve could be so unpleasant and intolerant. No wonder people are racist.
That's only half the story. The other half is that society's morals have largely been shaped by human evolution.
If you think about it really long and hard, what society collectively deems as moral tends to prolong the evolutionary life of the human species. Our collective moral traits (what we deem as moral) were naturally selected and is why we are still here (as a species).
Moral traits like sharing, compassion, cooperation allowed us to survive (we are the results of these naturally selected moral traits).
Of course, this evolutionary process is not consciously planned (therefore - not perfect!). We've also inherited undesirable traits - many more extreme than others.
So far, our species killing traits have not cancelled our mutually beneficial, moral traits - hence, why we are still here as a species.
Of course, Steve Harvey believes in insta-magic - not the more rational evolutionary process that uncovers the fact that things...whether astronomical objects and systems OR earth life - starts in very simple stages and gains increasing complexity very gradually over millions (and billions) of years.
Rather - Steve, Harvey thinks all this complexity is instantly popped into existence by magic.
What "process" sounds more plausible to you?
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 Wow. I'll wager that the night's must fly by in your house. But yeah, I get the point, and I see where you're coming from. The long and the tall of it is that Steve, and people like him, are arseholes. the fact that I am white, and he is black make's no difference. I know what an arsehole sound's like and Steve is sounding like one, and he can do better. Shameful, blinkered stupidity that will stop us moving forwards if it's allowed to substantiate.

He says it's mysterious that this all came out of nothing, but that's not nearly as mysterious as a god capable of creating all of this coming out of nothing.
scientificpatriot i agree sir! Well than where did god come from? A big explosion sounds more reasonable than a humanoid figure floating around in nothing, capable of creating anything
Wasn't out of nothing that is where many religions go off course .
yes
Johan Swan: That's the definition of an argument from ignorance.
Axel Smith so what you're saying is that it's illogical for bad people to get away with things? You basically believe in God because you don't want to accept that people can get away with evil.
Oh dear Steve. A man who believe in a sentient being in the sky, and that women can assault men without being hit back. Excellent 👍
Has he ever talked to one? Judging by his statement and his questions i dont think so.

Classic demonstration of close mindedness from SH...... whilst demonstrating hypocrisy
This is the FIRST time that I have EVER seen this. I idolize Mr. Harvey, more than I respect Trump (I don't respect Trump at all). I am shocked that my personal hero would isolate a whole growing population the way he did, and was never held accountable for that.
