Saying there is no evidence is intellectually dishonest. Through proven historical methodologies we can prove that Jesus Christ of Nazareth actually lived, died, and resurrected. We can use the same methodologies that any historian would use to prove and give credibility to any historical account. We can prove it without the Bible. We could use purely secular and even pagan historical accounts to prove His life, death, and resurrection. This also gives credibility to not only his life, death, and resurrection but also the things He said including: God will judge us for our sins, there is a heaven, there is a hell, and many other things. The good news is by the grace and mercy of God we can be forgiven. But again, saying there is no good evidence is incredibly ignorant and dishonest. I can site you sources if you would like? These sources are secular and pagan historical accounts from the first century.
What makes you think that living a religious life is a waste? Even most atheists I know can admit that religion provides purpose and meaning to those who live it. Some envy it but simply can’t have faith. Being a good person and loving others is never a waste.
@@loganmanion4373being a good person and loving others is not religion tho. Religions are additional social restrictions that have some positives and negatives, it is also an arrogant/ignorant belief that shapes your life. Conformity might not be just a blessing, the tyranny of the majority is a real thing. Religious majorities are especially tyrannical.
@@kasuo7039 There are very few religious majorities that have been as tyrannical as the atheist Communist states of the 20th century. And I only say “very few” because I’m unaware of any religious regimes that were worse, but concede the possibility that they have existed.
There's a story about that in the Bible. God basically said, "if you thought I was so terrible, why didn't you fear me? You thought I would punish and you still disobeyed." Then he took the reward he was going to give him and gave it to the person who thought God was good and obeyed him.
@@alexcrocker5329 the only way to reject the evidence of Jesus resurrection is to presumptively reject the possibility of resurrection. When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. If Jesus resurrection wasn't seen as impossible, it would have to be true. Further more, the statistical improbability for the universe AND life are both far too great to be mathematically possible. Plain mathematics supports a creative and guiding hand in our existence. The only way to conclude otherwise is to outright reject the conclusion. The same idea is concluded in the thought experiment of simulated reality posited by many great minds. We must not eliminate possibilities because of our own lack of imagination.
You don’t have to believe more than that there is a creator, Deism. The evidence as I see it is that we have bad we cannot eliminate despite free-will and self-awareness. Which means something outside us put it n us. We don’t want it, but cannot rid ourselves of it. Something other than us controls that. There must be a creator. How else could we have a nature we did not choose and cannot rid ourselves of despite free will?
The god in the Bible really cares about that stuff. Like he basically demands your worship or you'll burn in hell. But the real answer to your question is that he likes money. Or that the people who made him up like your money.
yup. infact, how can you sell the idea that there is a deity that does know everything, can do everything and somehow bothered to create humanity ? if you are a perfect being, that means you neednt to do or create anything. thats why perfection is end of the road.
@@barisbal7782I mean, the loophole is that you/we are not perfect, so we might not even be capable of understanding the perfect reasoning behind creating humanity. We are a bunch of imperfects selling our imperfect ideas of perfection to each other, meanwhile god is playing hexavertexolygonal chess far beyond our understanding
@@borizzle1 we might be not be perfect, but we dont have to be. the simple conclusion is there is no plausible reason for something like god create something like us. after one point our options boils down into him being either a sadistic piece of shit or he is desperate and need us for something. either option damages his omnipotent omni science image. and if he exist, then we gave him too much credit
It kind of is. You can choose to pray, even if you don't believe that you are talking to a god. You then let go of your ego by trying something you think logically does not make sense, and that becomes faith.
I just turned 60. I recently had epiphany that there has to be God We have free will and self-awareness, but we cannot rid ourselves of bad. Which means the bad is there by design. Whatever is responsible for our having a nature we cannot change, it exists. That is “God”, or whatever name you want to use. If you believe that we can be liberated from our darkness, if you have that Hope, that is “Faith”. You have faith that we can escape from our darkness. And ascend to something better, that we can be better than we are as humans in bondage to a darkness.
How did you determine that badness must be designed... badness is a term we slap in things we either dont like at all or like for a short amount of time because of pleasure but it ends up doing more harm than good in the long run like alcohol or drugs. Being attracted to things that give us immediate pleasure but long term problems doesnt point to design... in fact it points to non design.. because if a loving intelligent being designed is how could he ever give us the desire to becatupid enough to destroy our own bodies with short term.pleasure.
Hahaha if you believe in God you now have the threat of all the other religions you don't follow and their respective God(if it were real) put you in their version of hell for believing in the wrong one. I love Loius CK, but pascals wager is as illogical as all the other arguments for God.

In a way, everyone is agnostic because no one can definitively prove a negative, such as the nonexistence of God. However, the burden of proof lies with those who claim that a god exists. Atheists, based on the evidence presented so far, conclude that there is no compelling reason to believe in a deity. This position is not necessarily fixed; if stronger evidence were provided, many atheists would be open to reevaluating their stance. This approach emphasizes the importance of evidence and rational inquiry in forming beliefs.
It means you can only see the answer by growing into seeing it. You can’t just decide to believe. These things are difficult to explain. It it more realization than belief. You cannot chose to realize something. I was a skeptic. After long journey wrestling with this a light turned on. I know it seems counter-intellectual, but it isn’t. It is putting pieces together, like a puzzle, and then you see what the puzzle is of. It is all just seemingly random pieces and only when they assemble does it make sense. You have to be open to getting to place where you see it. It makes sense intellectually when you see it, but to get there you have to get past intellectual impediment. Think about it in very large way, more philosophically than scientifically. Think about things science cannot explain and why science cannot explain. Like why there is death at all. Or pain, suffering. If random, why randomly bad and not randomly absent pain, suffering, violence, sorrow?

Pretty funny video but wow this comment section concerns me. I just want to say that I wholeheartedly believe in God. Belief is a choice that I make. No I have no physical evidence, it's a feeling. I hope that you all find your way to God. But if you decide to walk a different path I cannot stop you. The Lord will not stop you. This is a path you choose to walk. Just know that when you truly need Him, He will be there for you. If you don't belief I ask you to read The Bible. There is soooooo many crazy and amazing stories that you never heard when you were in Sunday school. I know it can be confusing because most Christians are just as lost as you. I mean the amount of deferent types of Christianity is insane to me. That's why I say just grab the good book and read it yourself. You will be surprised trust me. God be with you all, goodbye.

Exodus 21:1, 5-6 - Hebrews can only be slaves for six years but become lifelong slaves if they marry a slave. Exodus 21:20-21 - No punishment for a master who beats their slave to death, as long as the slave dies a day later. Leviticus 25:46 - Allows slaves to be passed down as an inheritance to one’s children. Exodus 21:7-11 - Authorizes the purchase and sale of female slaves for sexual purposes. Exodus 21:4 - Children of slaves are born into slavery. 1 Timothy 6:1-2 - Christians can have other Christians as slaves. Titus 2:9 - Christian slaves must obey their masters in everything.
