If this video blows up, I’ll be here. What people don’t understand is that choosing god is a sign of strength, not weakness, you’re admitting to yourself that you’re not enough, no one is.
@Airock the Greatread the comment again he wasn't referring to atheist like myself he was saying that people who have faith have it cuase they're strong enough to know they need the faith to help themselves
@Airock the Great (take any religious context out of this) not really if someone's willing to admit they're not strong and take themselves out of their ego that in of itself is strength like when a alcoholic admits they need to quit
@Airock the Great you're focusing to much on the religous part also it's really not crazy or anything hell even atheist like you and I believe in made up concepts like justice, right and wrong ect...
@Airock the Great this is for that deleted comment The alcoholism was a metaphor to better describe that I was talking about strength in omitting. Don't take it literally. I don't know why you where trying to argue something completely different as I made no comment on what acholishm vs religion contributes you made up that claim on your own
People please pray for me. I lost 2 kids in a freak car accident 6 years ago and struggling with alcohol because everything triggers me. Please say a prayer for me
How can you account for the physical constants of the universe being delt by chance when they're so finely tuned that if any of them were altered by a millionth of a degree matter & life would not exist. & each of these have to be perfectly set so they can build upon to on one another or else matter & life wouldn't exist You're betting your life on it being chance. I think that's silly.
@@Mindmartyr Not to get into a heated argument about god but nothing really happens by "chance", it just happens and luck/chance is just something we humans use to describe stuff that are unpredictable because we do not understand or see any plan or design behind them. Take flipping a coin for example, we do not see any understanding or plan behind the side it lands on so we call it luck/chance, but as soon as the coin is flipped it is predictable through painstaking physics and math that would probably take days to determine what side it lands on. Variables such as height, force behind the flip, precise location the thumb flipped the coin at, "bounciness" of the table, and so much more. Simply not understanding how the constants of the universe actually occurred does not instantly mean there is a supernatural being. Basically, luck/chance cannot be used to prove god's existence as Atheism isn't the belief that everything happened by luck/chance but just happened in a way that we can only describe as luck/chance because we weren't there to see it and understand it. The universe is a massive super genius that can see all the innerworkings of science and math that the best scientists can only dream of seeing, and if there is one thing the universe doesn't allow, it's random luck.
@@imbeggar GOD`S WORD IS TRUTH, THEREFORE REALITY. Why some are so naive and give GOD'S LIVING WORD an pagan origin? - calling Christianity a religion? All religions are pagan`s nonsense. GOD calls us all to come to the knowledge of truth not into believing a religion. We perish because of the lack of knowledge, not because the lack of beliefs in religions. Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” People reject Christianity(KNOWLEDGE), because they want religions.
you encapsulated the coping mechanisms so incredibly well. we begin attempting to deal with things by doing things that will eventually lead us to deal with those things by repeating how we deal with those things. im sad because im addicted or am I addicted because im sad? studying philosophy, meditation, following buddhist and taoist ideologies, seeking a way to escape problems? or, as you said, distracting yourself from other problems instead of actually finding an answer.. this kind of opened my eyes and damn, i have no words left
I wouldn't say that philosophy, taoism buddhism and taoism and all that is to escape from your problems but rather to accept pain and discomfort as a natural part of human life and deal with them (kinda like picking your own personal cross willingly, at least with philosophies like stoicism)
And then you understand why modern nations such as western countries, China, Russia and Japan and every fucking nation that doesn’t have its political and educational system attached to a fictional old minded brainwashing scheme of centuries ago is so much more developed than Muslim countries…one is about innovation of ideas the other is about preservation of ancient ideas. Muslim countries will always be leagues below the rest of the world as long as they don’t realize that religion was made to be appreciated and not followed blindly like a cult. You are only gonna push yourself down as long as you keep preserving ideas of centuries ago completely outdated for todays needs. Innovation is the birth of power and there is zero to almost none of it in Muslim middle eastern countries.
@@The-Allfather-Odin Who tf said atheistic materialism was the correct default worldview? And how's that worldview working out for us right now? All of these social problems we got. You new age atheists are a bunch of donuts man. Bring back tradition and religion and wisdom of ancestors. Screw postmodernist nihilism
I’m amazed at this type of content, your on the side of what a non-religious person is on about and prove it to them that we feel the same. But that’s why we look ourselves to God, to find a purpose in life and not just a throwaway life that could have been doing so much more. I’m staying subbed for more of this, even if I have to wait another 4 months. This is anime that’s worth the wait (Thank you)
I first found this video a couple of years ago and loved it. Last year around June I saw it again and decided to give it at watch after I watched it I sent it to my pastor. My pastor said he loved it and wanted to talk to me the next day. The next day we set down and talked, that day I got saved and it was because of this video. So thank you ❤ you made me go the next step.❤
I found this video through an ad. I’m an atheist, but either way I enjoyed it thoroughly. Well written, well formatted, and well intentioned. Good work, mate.
Your videos are so heart touching do real.... tears just start...and I'm reminded that God is in my weakness God is my strength. Thank you for your videos your words your voice...and it's ALL about Him and not about religion. Thank you and God bless you. I wish your videos were weekly..amazingly simple, understandable and so heartfelt. Thank you again.
Thank you for this spot on excellent video. Please don’t stop creating this extremely vital “content.” I continually pray for you and this ministry, which is making a HUGE difference in people’s lives. Don’t slow down, avoid unpopular issues or quit. This is powerful stuff. I can see our Father’s anointing on your work. Thank you!!!
Watching in 2024 and this is definitly a video millions of poeple my age should watch too I'll download it and listen to it every night before sleeping
I’ve been waiting for another video! I love your videos and idk how but when they come it’s always exactly what I need to hear. God is great! Thank you for making these
Great video man...I myself feel religion/God is a coping mechanism. Im somewhat agnostic but i would never try to take someones belief away from them. If anything I just tell them to be aware of people that may try to take advantage of them.
I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching. And You are right, unfortunately "organized" religion has far too often used God to take advantage of people... and it makes me very angry (and I think it really pisses God off). And, many people do use religion and/or God just to feel good... (when it is so much deeper than that). But I think what it all boils down too is, we are all just looking for truth, and for me, God is truth. But I would never push that on any one... if I did, I apologize. And you mentioned critical thinking, being honest, and rationalization... amen. thats all God asks of us. I wish you peace, wherever you stand in all this.
I like your way of thinking and expressing. Under this wisdom is a lot of pain. Indeed, every one if us needs God, but before we understand and accept that, oh, before that you may fall so deep in sorrow and despair, that it feels like hell. God bless tou brother, I'll meet you at the crystal sea.
Think about all the good things you have and how fortunate you are. So many people would do anything to be in the position you are in now. Don’t take what you have for granted.
Thank you for a video focusing on your own iniquity when preaching the Word. That is relatable and genuine. The only finger we need to point should be at ourselves. Amen.
Thanks for this video - this is so me and what I have been going through. I found out about you through a Priest and he led me to this site. Awesome, can't wait to preview more.
I will admit therapy helped me a lot, but it wouldn't have worked without including God in it. Props to therapists who can incorporate God into their work when needed by the patient, and props to God for inspiring them to do so.
I don't what to say about me and everyone. I laughed so hard at the animations, not because it's funnu, but because sometimes it seems alwful and you bust out of laugh and things make you crazy! Thank you for sharing this message and i hope we find solutions of most of our problems trough religion!
The problem is not that people are searching for answers, it's those who claim they have found the answers in some mythical being or beings, and then pushing these beliefs onto others without a single ounce of evidence.
thank you for your comment. And you're right. No one should be pushing beliefs on another, and that was not my intention, if I did so, I apologize. I'm only saying for myself, I found something that just makes sense. And you are right, there will never be hard evidence of the existence of God. I wish you peace, no matter what your beliefs.
And now secular humanists are trying to push on people that God doesn't exist, it's everywhere in society, so what, is that religion itself or people twisting it? What do you have to say for communist regimes that pushed atheism on it's populations often by force? It's not real atheism? Well, yeah, sure, but then you have to apply that same standard to religion. And your worldview is probably a myth too, you also don't know jack shit for sure. The difference is my myth has kept society running for tens of thousands of years while the secular experiment has only lasted for more than a century and the shit is already getting out of hand, and people are already converting to religion in droves Your myth will become a dead and forgotten one, and mine will still be around. I don't care what you say
As someone whose an Atheist, I despise the ‘religion is just something for the weak’ argument. It’s so condescending. Throw me or any of these people against a Templar Knight and see who comes out of the other side in strength both external and internal. We’re all weak, we all have flaws and vices that hold us down, whether one looks to God or not.
@T Bone I wonder what I said at the beginning of my comment, I believe it’s the fifth word, in between an ‘an’ and the ‘I’, starts with an A ends with a T with T H E I S in between. I don’t believe in God numb-nuts, I just don’t give on whether or not one believes in him or it.
I have integrity and the accurate understanding of my actions the bigest problem that I have faced is depression and the thoughts of suicide however I got some therapy that releved it and minimised the pain and made it go away but... the Depression is still there and lurks in the deepest part of me. "I admit that it exist inside of me, however I am not afraid of it coming after me, cuz it have always been there in the dark... inside of me"
Sometimes,being strong can sometimes drain us because we always filled ourselves with so much hatred because of relying our true strength on circumstances,physical brute without caring for our spirituality.So, it's better to be honestly not strong than to mask and pretend you are healed when deep inside a thorn cuts deep in your true feelings and nerves.Remember,not all battles are worth fighting for 🎶Your blade it might be too sharp but you will never see me fall apart cuz my heart is elastic like a rubber~~
Ignorance is bliss I suppose. Not that people who believe in God are stupid or anything but being able to believe in a higher power controlling everything must be relaxing.
@@anakinskywalker700 Ignorance? Who said that atheists have the default correct worldview? It doesn't seem to be doing much for society in terms of preventing moral degeneracy and our depression and mental illness rates are sky-high, so what's going on? Why is the default worldview so shitty? I feel like there's a reason religion's been around for tens of thousands of years. Humans keep around ideas that are good and lead to good outcomes, that much is obvious, if you're truly rational you can't deny that
Your ability to articulate and illustrate concepts like this (coping) is astounding! LOVE every single one of your videos, and have helped put together pieces of my path to Jesus Christ. Thanks Beggar!
people say that life has no answer or meaning but our god was kind enough straight up give us one so we arent confused our whole lives just because he felt like it. (the answer is god btw)
How is it egoist if someone says "I saw a dragon" and you say "There are no dragons" and then he says "Proove there are no dragons!", so you say they are fictional and people made them up by some people long ago. Guess who is also fictional and was made up by some people long ago?
This video made me realized "I don't belive God" and I denied God 2 times but looking back I was being an idiot for not believing God, now I do still good point
If I break my leg, I'm not ashamed of needing a cast and some crutches. If I have a cold, I'm going to take cough syrup. I'm sick with sin. So I am not ashamed of the cure... Jesus.
I enjoyed this video, the formatting is very good, presentation very good ! My life was difficult too, my parents work has a cafeteria lady and a painter at construction, they were swallowed up by debts and not much time to love, oddly I craved loved so much I have it to receive it, but I did it cause I wanted to. I stop procrastinating, stopped being lazy, because all that does is build up and then when you decide to untangle yourself, there’s just so much going on. I respect people who Believe in god, without “god” people would be killing themselves and eachother more frequently.
humans are driven by short and long term pleasures. we get tired and aggravated while pursuing those pleasures. Strength comes from believing in yourself and having clarity in your abilities. If/where you're lacking, look for wisdom. Hope can only get you started. Milestones help you gage your progress. facing and fixing your shadows(fears) Is key.
So…. To try and live and love as a saint To be like God. What acts of faith hope and charity will I do today? Every hr to the next… in all the small ways
Those same people that call it weak couldn't sit alone in a room in stillness and prayer if their lives depended on it. They are slaves to the passions, as the whole system is. Empire of Illusions

I don't know if word of a Muslim have any value to you It was a great video which explains what is Abrahamic religions in its core though Islam and Christianity have there difference and Islam is pretty much in its dark age but both religions have same core I hope one day people simply realize thise After all we are all humans who may have different ideas and life but in core we all the same humans who have same insecurities and problems but still want to live happy and peaceful life It was an eye opening video keep to good work and God bless you
I was expecting this to be some preaching video of some guy saying shit like ''GOD IS THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DO NOT LOW YOU'RE WEAK AND BLIND1!!111!!'' very cool video
Yes. And where do you think they got it from? I always say this. People literally are so ignorant they don't pay attention and tune out what would allow them to understand- based on the ignorance of others who make God seem everything he is not.
Your relationship with Christ is waaay more important than the religion of this world. Pick it apart and see the truth in it and lies in it. But I can guarantee you there are no lies in Christ. Turn to Jesus and God bless you all!✝️❤️🙏
@@jakeisthedoctor2308 This is not common sense. Everywhere around the world people have knowingly or unknowingly misinterpreted the Bible. It's like people who they "talk" to God. Really? You talk to God? What does he say? Are you some kind of prophet?
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. Solomon repeats the phrase ‘everything under the sun’ several times through Ecclesiastes and concludes with the above. Basically everything is meaningless with God.
I think you meant to say "without God". @@NotDuncan Solomon's worldly ventures led him to the conclusion that all worldly ambitions are "air". He started out with YHWH as a young king, strayed further and further from YHWH in his quest for meaning, and after having seen all and done all, he returned to YHWH decades later a profoundly disappointed, depressed, broken old man. Hence, Ecclesiastes.
It's definitely not just for the weak unless everyone is weak, which I'd agree with. I follow the bible's teachings to better learn and understand my self and the world around me. Im autistic and schizophrenic. I've been isolated the majority of my life. The aspect of being loved by something outside of my self is nice, and so is the prospect of a purpose, but I found truth in the bible not for those things but just to better understand a friend. I do have amplitudes of problems and I am weak, though. Focusing on god does help keep me sane, in an insane sort of way. I don't really know what religion does for me besides help me learn and develop my actual self. I already lived by the bible before I picked up the bible, just not with the same level of awareness. I dunno. I'm just rambling. Thinking about being loved and cherished for who i am is nice, but I hardly notice it. The prospects of heaven are obviously awesome, and the prospects of hell terrifying, but i dont really care. I dont believe believing in the literal christ would doctate where i end up and thst i wouldve ended in the same place regardless, but i dont know. Hm. Donno. The reason i picked up the faith is because how well it lines up with literal reality. Really, it has further detached me from the world and isolated me more than i already was isolated. I dont mind. It's helped me develope my passion, thought, but to others, ive become more insane. Im really just rambling. Again, i didnt pick up the bible to improve anything beyond my own understanding. I never pray for anything besides more understanding and to be more content worldly life (i am very eager to find the truth in the afterlife)
It has definitely helped me in the aspects I've wished for it to help me in, but my own existence (outside of insight and the ability to take in more and more potential truths) is irrelevent to me.
Interesting appeal I must say as someone who was very religious growing up that it was nice to believe, but whenever it came time to search for the answers the Bible left us with more questions and failed to actually answer most of the questions we have without being contradicted by itself in later passages, I went to college and learned about logical fallacies and how to analyze what we believe to figure out what is worth believing and what is likely to be true and found along with many others that god is just a lie we tell ourselves to make the beatings easier to take (as in coping method 1) because if god allowed it there must be a reason, and the Bible and worship a way for us to distract ourselves from anything that would cause us to question it even if just for a short while, though the doubts always come creeping back in (much like coping method 2) ultimately the only way we seem to find what we’re looking for is if we believe we have finished coping type 3 of searching for the answers however religion is tricky, it masks itself. It claims to have those answers or asserts the notion that the lack of answers point to one specific answer that is super mysterious and shouldn’t be questioned further, and many are fooled by it and live their life unaware of their deception unaware that they’re wasting their time and money and even dare I say their happiness of discovering themselves. Religion will tell you science claims to have ALL the answers. (When it intentionally tries to avoid making such broad claims) Religion will tell you science doesn’t have all the answers. (and scientists will agree) Religion will tell you science will never have all the answers (and a scientist will say maybe not but we’re not going to stop trying until we do) Religion will tell you something can never be explained (science has done so in the past and is likely going to be explaining other things in the approaching future) Religion will tell you what we don’t know is evidence of a higher power (science will tell you what we don’t know is evidence that there’s more to learn) On the topic of weakness I disagree religion doesn’t make you weak nor does it make you strong, it does nothing, if you didn’t have religion you’d hold some other philosophy that makes you feel like you can live life everybody does even atheists like myself believe in things but though the reasoning for that belief is different it makes us no stronger than anyone else just as religion makes you no weaker. Weather relentlessly Pursuing truth or lying down and taking the beatings amidst comfortable lies it is ultimately our own strength that gets us through the day religion just gives credit to someone who doesn’t exist.
First of all, thank you for disagreeing, but not insulting... people can't seem to get that any more. It sounds like you got some bad info about God (what we would call, toxic faith) growing up. For example you say: religion will tell you what we don't know is evidence of god... (or the God of the gaps argument). I don't believe that. I only believe in what we can reasonably, logically understand. (If you want Logic, I would suggest Thomas Aquinas). Second, where did Jesus lie? Atheists always tell me Im wasting my time, my life, my happiness... I'm curious, if an atheist would think that of Mother teresa? Or Abe Lincoln? I might argue it is the other way around, and I was an atheist myself. Where I think we agree is on the pursuit of truth and self. Mine has lead to God. Got nothing to do with coping and lessening the beatings (as Freud said)... I wish you peace with wherever yours leads you.
imbeggar yeah it’s indeed a very sensitive subject as a former Christian myself I try hard not to offend anyone because I understand how it feels (I was actually worried some of my words could be taken out of context I’m glad to see for the most part they don’t seem to be) I am very interested to know what you consider to be rational proof enough of god to be able to believe it though cause I’ve had a lot of discussions about this and nothing yet has swayed me, ultimately things seem too paradoxical and while there are certainly arguments that can be made that a paradox doesn’t necessarily mean the logic is wrong it’s certainly much harder to prove and none of the arguments for god that I’ve heard have yet successfully avoided this. As far as Jesus’s word we can’t ever really know what all he actually said or what all actually happened, as was such with all books in the Bible, the New Testament was all written by secondhand descriptions of the events that transpired. We have no way to know if the apostles had reason to lie or if they meant to tell the truth and just remembered things differently or if they had any impairment to their thought process as they were writing Be it natural or external factors, or maybe things were lost in translation, there are a whole plethora of reasons simple written accounts of history aren’t totally reliable. Just look at the case of how much Judas was paid to betray Jesus or how he died across different books or translations of the Bible as one example. In the case of Lincoln and Teresa I still hold the belief that they had potential to do great things without religion being necessary, there are plenty of philosophies that could have the same effect such as utilitarianism. In my opinion once again it doesn’t change their potential for strength or how great of an impact they could have but rather how they went about acting on it and in doing so they chose to give credit for that strength and good will to something they cannot be absolutely sure exists when really it came from themselves.
@@someoneonyoutube8622 Thank you for this. I appreciate a discussion in good faith even if we are coming from two different sides of it. I don't presume think I could sway you (or anyone) with a rational argument to “prove” God. And it is not my intention. I apologize if I came off that way. And I don't think it would ever be that simple. However, you are right to say that we don't really know what Jesus said, word for word. And historical texts are tricky. Very few historical and theological scholars hold that the bible is a word for word account. And it is true, the 4 gospels were written for 4 very different audiences, and the gospel writers tried to convey the meaning, message, to these 4 audiences in different ways, and there is evidence of this. And yes, there are some discrepancies. But with all that being said, we can't just throw it all away. My grandmother died many years ago, when myself and my siblings tell her story to others, we don't get the details right, but that doesn't mean we are lying or that she didn’t exist or some other explanation... the most "reasonable" explanation is that she probably did exist we just screwed up some of the details. Just because we dont know what jesus said word for word doesn't mean we have lost the essence of what he said or its' meaning. If it was a lie, or made up, for what reason? these explanations all get very complicated and are not easily supported (occam's razor). But back to faith and reason, what it comes down to is, do you believe in objective truth (rhetorical question). if not, and many do not, then that is fine. Or objective morality, objective love? But if so, where does it come from? Early philosophers from the east and west (Aristotle, plato, Averroes) all held these had to exist singularly in its most pure, most simple form (our theology logically builds off of this). We call that God. And Jesus Christ is the human embodiment. And since God is truth itself, truth could never contradict reason, we cant accept any contradictions (miracles are a different story). Ok, sorry I went on too long, and you may think I am even more crazy now. But I appreciate your honest response, so I wanted to respond back. Happy new year!
@god first bro there was a time that god was an important thing to me because I believed it to be real. Now however there’s an overwhelmingly vast lack of tangible and verifiable proof for a god of any kind. Not only that but logically speaking the concepts underlying god make little sense, or end up in contradiction, or as stated before just pointing to something we don’t understand to say that because we don’t understand something we can understand it is god. Not to mention all the other religions out there believe just as strongly as you do that theirs is the true religion. Any gaps in our understanding of science are immediately filled in with the word god and yet ironically all that does is stop people from questioning further because if they did they Would realize god isn’t an answer because all the same flaws and questions apply to it as well. It’s a pretender at the answer and it has all the flaws our current understanding of the world has on top of its own flaws unique to itself. In light of all this and mich more it appears increasingly likely that there is no god and I am ok with that now. Now I search for how to live my life In the best way I can, how to best construct morality, how to best observe the world, etc...
@@tbone5725 Friend, I would love to discuss what led you to that conclusion, but that doesn't have anything to do with my comment. I proposed the idea he inspires Catholics, not of God's existence; because even if you are correct in your assumption, that would not undermine the benefits of the Catholic church even in a secular sense.
I've never watched an espectacular video like this one. However, I have to admit that we disagree about the idea of being weak. All of us have problems and life is extremely difficult. Of course, we're not perfect and make mistakes from time to time. Perfection is not strength, indeed, It's anxiety. Being weak is giving up and refusing to grow as an individual. In my opinion, the Christian rituals are silly, but its leasons are wonderful. God doesn't exist in the real world. It's all in our head. The truth is that solving the right problems and improving ourlseves is what gives us strength and a temporary meaning to our lives.
Please Copy this Message so it can reach more people. Hi there! I just wanted to say that religious or not, you are AMAZING and loved by God a lot! In fact, he loved you SO much that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross. Whoever believes in him shall have eternal life. Here is a verse: Psalm 121:7-8 - “The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” YOU ARE AMAZING AND HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!! 😎✝️❤️🙂
"Man is by his nature a supertitious and fearful animal. Take away the herds Abrahamic gods and Pagan goddesses and he will, without failing, come to worship ...... Something else." -H.P Lovecraft
Perhaps man was made that way. What makes H.P. Lovecraft see himself as superior to some Abrahamic god is proud confidence in his well-read, well-exercised intellect. Pride is blinding, and self-confidence leads to carelessness. It is wise to guard oneself from both, for a blind and careless one is sure to lose footing.
I just wish you would have changed one word. Why you felt the need the use the worldly word *BS* just eliminates its impact. Cause now I can’t use it in ministry or play it in sanctuary. Like have some of your other videos. Keep up the work, I just wanted to give you another perspective of why you may choose to use other non-curse words when making such an impactful video. Worldly curse words especially BS and Bible verses don’t really go together. I don’t love your videos any less just hope you will curve the language for the sake of ministry. God Bless your works!
I really know if a person is a psychopath when he calls some weak people's 'coping mechanism ' as bad Nobody can say like saying like this to that r@pe victim is 'coping' .
Why religion is for the weak: "I am the only way to God" -Jesus. "Ok so?"-man. "Any other way will end you up in hell"-Jesus. "say no more I love you JESUS"-man
Anyone who says religion is for the weak needs to look up the story and of the burning monk, it was on camera everyone saw it and no one could deny it. Christianity has a lot of martyrs as well. I left christianity for the "New age" as you put it but looking back over the history I can't say religion is for the weak.
If this video blows up, I’ll be here. What people don’t understand is that choosing god is a sign of strength, not weakness, you’re admitting to yourself that you’re not enough, no one is.

Take flipping a coin for example, we do not see any understanding or plan behind the side it lands on so we call it luck/chance, but as soon as the coin is flipped it is predictable through painstaking physics and math that would probably take days to determine what side it lands on. Variables such as height, force behind the flip, precise location the thumb flipped the coin at, "bounciness" of the table, and so much more. Simply not understanding how the constants of the universe actually occurred does not instantly mean there is a supernatural being.
Basically, luck/chance cannot be used to prove god's existence as Atheism isn't the belief that everything happened by luck/chance but just happened in a way that we can only describe as luck/chance because we weren't there to see it and understand it. The universe is a massive super genius that can see all the innerworkings of science and math that the best scientists can only dream of seeing, and if there is one thing the universe doesn't allow, it's random luck.

@@imbeggar GOD`S WORD IS TRUTH, THEREFORE REALITY.
Why some are so naive and give GOD'S LIVING WORD an pagan origin? - calling Christianity a religion?
All religions are pagan`s nonsense.
GOD calls us all to come to the knowledge of truth not into believing a religion.
We perish because of the lack of knowledge, not because the lack of beliefs in religions.
Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
People reject Christianity(KNOWLEDGE), because they want religions.
@@theharshtruthoutthereI dont know why you said this as if you were disagreeing
I 2nd that!!! They've been a personal revival for me. God bless you I M BEGGAR ❤❤
you encapsulated the coping mechanisms so incredibly well. we begin attempting to deal with things by doing things that will eventually lead us to deal with those things by repeating how we deal with those things. im sad because im addicted or am I addicted because im sad? studying philosophy, meditation, following buddhist and taoist ideologies, seeking a way to escape problems? or, as you said, distracting yourself from other problems instead of actually finding an answer..
this kind of opened my eyes and damn, i have no words left
I wouldn't say that philosophy, taoism buddhism and taoism and all that is to escape from your problems but rather to accept pain and discomfort as a natural part of human life and deal with them (kinda like picking your own personal cross willingly, at least with philosophies like stoicism)
He IS there for you. Reach out to Him.
And then you understand why modern nations such as western countries, China, Russia and Japan and every fucking nation that doesn’t have its political and educational system attached to a fictional old minded brainwashing scheme of centuries ago is so much more developed than Muslim countries…one is about innovation of ideas the other is about preservation of ancient ideas. Muslim countries will always be leagues below the rest of the world as long as they don’t realize that religion was made to be appreciated and not followed blindly like a cult. You are only gonna push yourself down as long as you keep preserving ideas of centuries ago completely outdated for todays needs. Innovation is the birth of power and there is zero to almost none of it in Muslim middle eastern countries.

Great video man...I myself feel religion/God is a coping mechanism. Im somewhat agnostic but i would never try to take someones belief away from them. If anything I just tell them to be aware of people that may try to take advantage of them.
I paused the video just shy of the coping part but my way if coping is critical thinking, Rationalization, and just being honest with myself.
I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching. And You are right, unfortunately "organized" religion has far too often used God to take advantage of people... and it makes me very angry (and I think it really pisses God off). And, many people do use religion and/or God just to feel good... (when it is so much deeper than that). But I think what it all boils down too is, we are all just looking for truth, and for me, God is truth. But I would never push that on any one... if I did, I apologize. And you mentioned critical thinking, being honest, and rationalization... amen. thats all God asks of us. I wish you peace, wherever you stand in all this.

The problem is not that people are searching for answers, it's those who claim they have found the answers in some mythical being or beings, and then pushing these beliefs onto others without a single ounce of evidence.

I'm only saying for myself, I found something that just makes sense. And you are right, there will never be hard evidence of the existence of God. I wish you peace, no matter what your beliefs.
The google definition of “Believe” - accept that (something) is true, especially without proof.
And now secular humanists are trying to push on people that God doesn't exist, it's everywhere in society, so what, is that religion itself or people twisting it? What do you have to say for communist regimes that pushed atheism on it's populations often by force? It's not real atheism? Well, yeah, sure, but then you have to apply that same standard to religion. And your worldview is probably a myth too, you also don't know jack shit for sure. The difference is my myth has kept society running for tens of thousands of years while the secular experiment has only lasted for more than a century and the shit is already getting out of hand, and people are already converting to religion in droves
Your myth will become a dead and forgotten one, and mine will still be around. I don't care what you say
As someone whose an Atheist, I despise the ‘religion is just something for the weak’ argument. It’s so condescending.

the bigest problem that I have faced is depression and the thoughts of suicide

the Depression is still there and lurks in the deepest part of me.
"I admit that it exist inside of me, however I am not afraid of it coming after me, cuz it have always been there in the dark... inside of me"
Sometimes,being strong can sometimes drain us because we always filled ourselves with so much hatred because of relying our true strength on circumstances,physical brute without caring for our spirituality.So, it's better to be honestly not strong than to mask and pretend you are healed when deep inside a thorn cuts deep in your true feelings and nerves.Remember,not all battles are worth fighting for

"Everything is meaningless."

“Don’t take scriptures out of context”
- Common sense
@@jakeisthedoctor2308 This is not common sense. Everywhere around the world people have knowingly or unknowingly misinterpreted the Bible. It's like people who they "talk" to God. Really? You talk to God? What does he say? Are you some kind of prophet?
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
Solomon repeats the phrase ‘everything under the sun’ several times through Ecclesiastes and concludes with the above. Basically everything is meaningless with God.
I think you meant to say "without God". @@NotDuncan Solomon's worldly ventures led him to the conclusion that all worldly ambitions are "air". He started out with YHWH as a young king, strayed further and further from YHWH in his quest for meaning, and after having seen all and done all, he returned to YHWH decades later a profoundly disappointed, depressed, broken old man. Hence, Ecclesiastes.

It's definitely not just for the weak unless everyone is weak, which I'd agree with.
I follow the bible's teachings to better learn and understand my self and the world around me. Im autistic and schizophrenic. I've been isolated the majority of my life. The aspect of being loved by something outside of my self is nice, and so is the prospect of a purpose, but I found truth in the bible not for those things but just to better understand a friend.
I do have amplitudes of problems and I am weak, though.
Focusing on god does help keep me sane, in an insane sort of way.
I don't really know what religion does for me besides help me learn and develop my actual self. I already lived by the bible before I picked up the bible, just not with the same level of awareness.
I dunno. I'm just rambling. Thinking about being loved and cherished for who i am is nice, but I hardly notice it. The prospects of heaven are obviously awesome, and the prospects of hell terrifying, but i dont really care. I dont believe believing in the literal christ would doctate where i end up and thst i wouldve ended in the same place regardless, but i dont know.
Hm. Donno. The reason i picked up the faith is because how well it lines up with literal reality.
Really, it has further detached me from the world and isolated me more than i already was isolated. I dont mind.
It's helped me develope my passion, thought, but to others, ive become more insane.
Im really just rambling. Again, i didnt pick up the bible to improve anything beyond my own understanding. I never pray for anything besides more understanding and to be more content worldly life (i am very eager to find the truth in the afterlife)
It has definitely helped me in the aspects I've wished for it to help me in, but my own existence (outside of insight and the ability to take in more and more potential truths) is irrelevent to me.
Wow!!! What a video!!! Made me feel less lonely.. thanks
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
Interesting appeal I must say as someone who was very religious growing up that it was nice to believe, but whenever it came time to search for the answers the Bible left us with more questions and failed to actually answer most of the questions we have without being contradicted by itself in later passages, I went to college and learned about logical fallacies and how to analyze what we believe to figure out what is worth believing and what is likely to be true and found along with many others that god is just a lie we tell ourselves to make the beatings easier to take (as in coping method 1) because if god allowed it there must be a reason, and the Bible and worship a way for us to distract ourselves from anything that would cause us to question it even if just for a short while, though the doubts always come creeping back in (much like coping method 2) ultimately the only way we seem to find what we’re looking for is if we believe we have finished coping type 3 of searching for the answers however religion is tricky, it masks itself. It claims to have those answers or asserts the notion that the lack of answers point to one specific answer that is super mysterious and shouldn’t be questioned further, and many are fooled by it and live their life unaware of their deception unaware that they’re wasting their time and money and even dare I say their happiness of discovering themselves.
Religion will tell you science claims to have ALL the answers. (When it intentionally tries to avoid making such broad claims)
Religion will tell you science doesn’t have all the answers. (and scientists will agree)
Religion will tell you science will never have all the answers (and a scientist will say maybe not but we’re not going to stop trying until we do)
Religion will tell you something can never be explained (science has done so in the past and is likely going to be explaining other things in the approaching future)
Religion will tell you what we don’t know is evidence of a higher power (science will tell you what we don’t know is evidence that there’s more to learn)
On the topic of weakness I disagree religion doesn’t make you weak nor does it make you strong, it does nothing, if you didn’t have religion you’d hold some other philosophy that makes you feel like you can live life everybody does even atheists like myself believe in things but though the reasoning for that belief is different it makes us no stronger than anyone else just as religion makes you no weaker. Weather relentlessly Pursuing truth or lying down and taking the beatings amidst comfortable lies it is ultimately our own strength that gets us through the day religion just gives credit to someone who doesn’t exist.
First of all, thank you for disagreeing, but not insulting... people can't seem to get that any more. It sounds like you got some bad info about God (what we would call, toxic faith) growing up. For example you say: religion will tell you what we don't know is evidence of god... (or the God of the gaps argument). I don't believe that. I only believe in what we can reasonably, logically understand. (If you want Logic, I would suggest Thomas Aquinas). Second, where did Jesus lie? Atheists always tell me Im wasting my time, my life, my happiness... I'm curious, if an atheist would think that of Mother teresa? Or Abe Lincoln? I might argue it is the other way around, and I was an atheist myself. Where I think we agree is on the pursuit of truth and self. Mine has lead to God. Got nothing to do with coping and lessening the beatings (as Freud said)... I wish you peace with wherever yours leads you.
imbeggar yeah it’s indeed a very sensitive subject as a former Christian myself I try hard not to offend anyone because I understand how it feels (I was actually worried some of my words could be taken out of context I’m glad to see for the most part they don’t seem to be) I am very interested to know what you consider to be rational proof enough of god to be able to believe it though cause I’ve had a lot of discussions about this and nothing yet has swayed me, ultimately things seem too paradoxical and while there are certainly arguments that can be made that a paradox doesn’t necessarily mean the logic is wrong it’s certainly much harder to prove and none of the arguments for god that I’ve heard have yet successfully avoided this. As far as Jesus’s word we can’t ever really know what all he actually said or what all actually happened, as was such with all books in the Bible, the New Testament was all written by secondhand descriptions of the events that transpired. We have no way to know if the apostles had reason to lie or if they meant to tell the truth and just remembered things differently or if they had any impairment to their thought process as they were writing Be it natural or external factors, or maybe things were lost in translation, there are a whole plethora of reasons simple written accounts of history aren’t totally reliable. Just look at the case of how much Judas was paid to betray Jesus or how he died across different books or translations of the Bible as one example. In the case of Lincoln and Teresa I still hold the belief that they had potential to do great things without religion being necessary, there are plenty of philosophies that could have the same effect such as utilitarianism. In my opinion once again it doesn’t change their potential for strength or how great of an impact they could have but rather how they went about acting on it and in doing so they chose to give credit for that strength and good will to something they cannot be absolutely sure exists when really it came from themselves.
@@someoneonyoutube8622 Thank you for this. I appreciate a discussion in good faith even if we are coming from two different sides of it. I don't presume think I could sway you (or anyone) with a rational argument to “prove” God. And it is not my intention. I apologize if I came off that way. And I don't think it would ever be that simple. However, you are right to say that we don't really know what Jesus said, word for word. And historical texts are tricky. Very few historical and theological scholars hold that the bible is a word for word account. And it is true, the 4 gospels were written for 4 very different audiences, and the gospel writers tried to convey the meaning, message, to these 4 audiences in different ways, and there is evidence of this. And yes, there are some discrepancies. But with all that being said, we can't just throw it all away. My grandmother died many years ago, when myself and my siblings tell her story to others, we don't get the details right, but that doesn't mean we are lying or that she didn’t exist or some other explanation... the most "reasonable" explanation is that she probably did exist we just screwed up some of the details. Just because we dont know what jesus said word for word doesn't mean we have lost the essence of what he said or its' meaning. If it was a lie, or made up, for what reason? these explanations all get very complicated and are not easily supported (occam's razor). But back to faith and reason, what it comes down to is, do you believe in objective truth (rhetorical question). if not, and many do not, then that is fine. Or objective morality, objective love? But if so, where does it come from? Early philosophers from the east and west (Aristotle, plato, Averroes) all held these had to exist singularly in its most pure, most simple form (our theology logically builds off of this). We call that God. And Jesus Christ is the human embodiment. And since God is truth itself, truth could never contradict reason, we cant accept any contradictions (miracles are a different story). Ok, sorry I went on too long, and you may think I am even more crazy now. But I appreciate your honest response, so I wanted to respond back. Happy new year!
@god first bro there was a time that god was an important thing to me because I believed it to be real. Now however there’s an overwhelmingly vast lack of tangible and verifiable proof for a god of any kind. Not only that but logically speaking the concepts underlying god make little sense, or end up in contradiction, or as stated before just pointing to something we don’t understand to say that because we don’t understand something we can understand it is god. Not to mention all the other religions out there believe just as strongly as you do that theirs is the true religion. Any gaps in our understanding of science are immediately filled in with the word god and yet ironically all that does is stop people from questioning further because if they did they Would realize god isn’t an answer because all the same flaws and questions apply to it as well. It’s a pretender at the answer and it has all the flaws our current understanding of the world has on top of its own flaws unique to itself.
In light of all this and mich more it appears increasingly likely that there is no god and I am ok with that now. Now I search for how to live my life In the best way I can, how to best construct morality, how to best observe the world, etc...
Brother you inspire so many Catholics, stay steadfast...
@@tbone5725 Friend, I would love to discuss what led you to that conclusion, but that doesn't have anything to do with my comment. I proposed the idea he inspires Catholics, not of God's existence; because even if you are correct in your assumption, that would not undermine the benefits of the Catholic church even in a secular sense.
When you look inside and take am HONEST look.
I've never watched an espectacular video like this one. However, I have to admit that we disagree about the idea of being weak. All of us have problems and life is extremely difficult. Of course, we're not perfect and make mistakes from time to time. Perfection is not strength, indeed, It's anxiety. Being weak is giving up and refusing to grow as an individual. In my opinion, the Christian rituals are silly, but its leasons are wonderful. God doesn't exist in the real world. It's all in our head. The truth is that solving the right problems and improving ourlseves is what gives us strength and a temporary meaning to our lives.

Hi there! I just wanted to say that religious or not, you are AMAZING and loved by God a lot! In fact, he loved you SO much that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross. Whoever believes in him shall have eternal life. Here is a verse:
Psalm 121:7-8 - “The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
YOU ARE AMAZING AND HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!! 😎✝️❤️🙂
So true.
You need to do more videos. I've read a bunch of them. They are really good, different and makes the points well. Do one on learning to trust God.
No. To trust God is to lie to yourself

"Man is by his nature a supertitious and fearful animal. Take away the herds Abrahamic gods and Pagan goddesses and he will, without failing, come to worship ...... Something else."
-H.P Lovecraft
Perhaps man was made that way. What makes H.P. Lovecraft see himself as superior to some Abrahamic god is proud confidence in his well-read, well-exercised intellect. Pride is blinding, and self-confidence leads to carelessness. It is wise to guard oneself from both, for a blind and careless one is sure to lose footing.
I just wish you would have changed one word. Why you felt the need the use the worldly word *BS* just eliminates its impact. Cause now I can’t use it in ministry or play it in sanctuary. Like have some of your other videos. Keep up the work, I just wanted to give you another perspective of why you may choose to use other non-curse words when making such an impactful video. Worldly curse words especially BS and Bible verses don’t really go together. I don’t love your videos any less just hope you will curve the language for the sake of ministry. God Bless your works!
Can someone resume the video pls ?
God is real and he loves every one of us! Seek him and you'll see what I mean.
Whatever
The Christian, Muslim, Jewish, the egyptian, the greek, the romans, the germanen's, the hinduist god?
What god(s) are you talking about?
how do i let god in? i can't feel his presence when i pray.
Neither did I but I continued and continued and it happened
I really know if a person is a psychopath when he calls some weak people's 'coping mechanism ' as bad
Nobody can say like saying like this to that r@pe victim is 'coping' .
Well sir if the rest of the worlds was as real as you in would not need changing powerful and amen
Thank you for this, I appreciate it. And thanks be to God. Peace.
If you were gonna write a biography of my life, you could have at least named me
Well done!!
thank you friend. It's nice to hear something positive for a change!
Why religion is for the weak: "I am the only way to God" -Jesus. "Ok so?"-man. "Any other way will end you up in hell"-Jesus. "say no more I love you JESUS"-man
This was a great video
what kind of christian curses nonchalantly? didnt you feel conviction for that?
Anyone who says religion is for the weak needs to look up the story and of the burning monk, it was on camera everyone saw it and no one could deny it. Christianity has a lot of martyrs as well. I left christianity for the "New age" as you put it but looking back over the history I can't say religion is for the weak.
Your videos are amazing.
Awesome. Thank you friend.
The problem with Christianity is its eunuch virtues of self abasement and passive suffering.
Really well made
Relatable.
