I’m a former Catholic-turned-atheist. And every Christian I’ve ever met believes God is an all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal and infinite being. Yet, most of these same Christians ALSO claim to know the will, the wishes, the motives, the intentions, or the mind of this omnipotent and omniscient being. And that is just so egotistical and arrogant! They’re essentially claiming that they have superpowers- that they are divine telepaths or able to read the mind of a Supreme Intelligence. In my opinion, no one like that deserves to be taken seriously. Ever. No matter their religious affiliation.
Yea, they claim to know all those things about god until it's inconvenient to their argument about god. That's when they pull out the "we can't truly know god" logic, to make excuses for their god.
They are correct, Elisa. Just not the way they want to be. There's been a study called "The Neural Correlates of Religious and Nonreligious Belief" which essentially, in layman's terms, figured out that when believers think about what God wants, the part of their brain that becomes active ISN'T the part of the brain used to think about what *other people* want, but what *they themselves* want. They know what God wants, because it's what *they* want. But yet we're the ones that "are our own gods" :D
@@cy-one That goes along with praying. If you pray to an all knowing all powerful god to get it to change its mind then you are essentially telling the god that you know better than the god and it should do what you want.
@@cy-one Prayer is applying what a person wants to the god concept that is also what they have created for themselves in their own mind. That is why people can get a feeling from prayer that they are being answered by the god they are praying to.
Oh, i'm not doubting he got answers that HE interpreted as "man angrily shouting about how much they hate god"... I just doubt that with his inelegant and clumsy way to talk he could have formulated the "question" unaccusatory or withtout any of his arrogant presupposition about science and atheism, so the replies were just referring to his badly worded question that implied god must have done it and they are stupid if they do not accept that...
Ya, this feels like a story where the reverse actually happened. He didn't simply ask how they evolved, he said something like "how do you explain this ridiculously stupid idea that butterflies and their food just magically evolved at the same time when (long aggressive apologetics sermon)... okay now speak". Gee, I wonder why the scientist responded with hostility.
It's performance art. Artless performance art, if we're being honest. The "I used to be an atheist" thing sells well for a couple psychological reasons, not the least of which is the exact same reason con artists try to deflect skepticism in their victims by saying "Man I know I didn't think it'd work either but my according to my ROLEX my FERRARI sure proves my doubts were unwarranted!" Yes it's a scam technique and it's _that_ obvious and blatant, but it's used on the literally most gullible idiots on the planet, so...

I awlays said it as a joke, but here we have a Theist in a Clip basicly saying: "..The Bible is the word of God,.. but here buy my Book to understand on how to read the Bible!.." Makes the Theist a living Meme. XD
The most important book in the world (supposedly) and it's one of the most inaccessible and hard to understand texts because of layers upon layers of interpretation (also supposedly) and this is the only book which has the stamp of approval by the (supposedly) perfect god which Christianity worships? It's the "my god lives in that cave.", the cave is checked and no god is found, so the man claims "my god lives on top of that mountain" and so the top of the mountain was checked with same results. "My god lives in the clouds." we manage to find ways to fly and still no god. Now god lives beyond space and time and the bible needs supernatural assistance to even begin to be understandable. Yeah that sounds pretty darn fishy to me.
Funny how an omniscient deity needs help from human authors of Bible commentaries, Systematic Theologies, and the like. One might think that such an entity could write a book so brilliant, so clear and profound that no human commentaries would be necessary or desirable.
@@Rikika333 Inaccessible? Sure. I was bored almost to tears trying to work my way through _Genesis_ and it was so painfully dull I skipped past Gen 6 or 7 straight to Exodus and gave up even faster there. Do *_NOT_* get me started on the begats. Sheesh. Hard to understand? _Hardly._ The people who wrote the damn thing were about as sophisticated as a brick to the face, with all the clever prosaic skill of a drunk hillbilly with the hiccups. Apologists had to _invent_ the idea that it contains _"secret_ messages" and _"hidden_ meanings" because it's utterly devoid of both.
I would like to ask any theist that arguments for that "Jesus took our sins upon himself" if they would accept that argument in any other situation. "Here, we caught this school shooter redhanded, who killed 25 kids and 3 teachers. However, someone else took his crime upon himself and will face the death penalty so the shooter gets off scott-free as he apologized to and thanked the one who did that."
Ah yes the "I'm a christian because i think i'm a horrible person and religion gives me a excuse to continue to be an jerk because all my horrible behavior will be forgiven and that makes me feel better about continuing to be a prick" line of thinking.
In order: 1) We do not need God for morality, which can be derived from interpesonal ethics. And even by the standards laid out in your bible, your god is a horrifyingly immoral being (if he exists.) 2) Atheists do not take the bible 'out of context.' Your 'interpretaion' is always accompanied by special pleading and assumptions not contained in the text. 3) Must study the bible to understand it. As the SkepTick states, if a god can't make its meaning plain, I question its wisdom. Scientific claims, OTOH, can be tested. 4) I do not _know_ God doesn't exist. And he doesn't _know_ that God exists. He _believes_ God exists and I will continue to believe God doesn't exist until I have evidence to the contrary. 5) Refuting the claims of Christianity is not the same as being angry at an imaginary being. I do, however, get angry at Christians who attempt to force their faith on others. 6) Attempts to explain the origin of the universe and life are hypotheses, not articles of faith. The hypotheses can be examined as to their plausibility in view of our current understanding of physics, chemistry and biology. Saying " _God did it_ " explains nothing and is not possible to analyse. 7) "Most scientists believe in God" means nothing. Unless they can _PROVE_ the existence of a God, it makes no diffence whether 1%, 10%, 50% or 100% do so. Facts are not determined by vote.
7) "Most scientists believe in God" Actually, most do not. However if you claim a "Christian Scientist" or a "YEC" and a "Flat Earther" is a scientist...you can skew the numbers to make that claim. Those folks aren't even remotely scientists.
It doesn't need to be twisted. NIV says: You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
“Trying to make Christians look bad?” I have never spent any effort on trying to make Christians look bad. That’s their job, and I’m too lazy to do it for them.
Well the Bible does like sheep, literally has one commencing the end of the world. Which kind of tracks, as stupid people may well cause the end of the world.
I'd be willing to bet that after the third time reading it you had a couple hundred more reasons to be an atheist than you did after the first. Somehow the thing does just the opposite of starts making more sense the more you read it.
I don't remember reading much of the Bible. I think it dropped off after Genesis and I never put much thought into the whole religion thing for years. And I'm not going to pick it up and read it because I think I'll just get bored and look for something else to read...
@@IAMJ1B ignoring the fact that it's obviously not what I meant and you know it but, like it was pointed to you by twerp, reading the bible is a good way to make atheists. Did you read it? Or do you only read the sweet parts that are provided to you?
@@IAMJ1B 2 Corithians, 4:4, "The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. As a result, they don't see the light of the Good News about Christ's glory." (New International Version) This is one that tends to be skipped in discussions about atheists. It's not that I don't believe because I don't want to, God has blinded me so that once I didn't, because that's just how my parents raised me, I never could and never will. Perhaps as an example to you and the other believers of how terrible life is without God? In His wisdom and grace, He decided that condemning me to hell, without anything I can do about it, is worth the souls it could save? This is one of the verses Protestants need to explain away with some mental gymnastics and creative interpretation, while Calvinists say that who will be saved is predetermined and all you can hope for is that you are on of the chosen. And then the Calvinists have to explain the verses where it says it actually is a conscious choice of the non-believer. That's easier, though, because they can just say that it feels like they've made a choice, but there never really was one. This would also mean that any conversion can't be a true conversion. Once someone does not believe in Christ, they are blinded from ever finding salvation. Perhaps a world where the overwhelming majority of people will suffer eternal torment as an example to the others so a few could be saved is the best God could do. I'm not saying you won't be able to reconcile the two notions, mind you, but it takes a lot of creativity and mental gymnastics and definitely goes against a plain reading of the text. Or you just ignore the verses of the bible you don't like, because they've been retconned or something. That's popular too.
I have to admit that these memes totally changed my mind about my atheism. It has been a very long time since I had to shout out "God, is that BAD!" I should make a meme "Why are the people who claim to have access to the wisdom of God so very bad at everything they try to do?" I should market such a meme. I should be a millionaire!
The "christian proverb" about atheism; "you dont believe because you just want to sin." can be used against christians with the same intention.... "Christians are only believers because they want to sin, because that poor fellow Jesus already payed for it some 2000 years ago."
If I wanted to sin, I'd become a Southern Baptist and do all the sinning I want, and then go around saying, "Jesus forgives me." That's what the president of the SBC did, and _then_ blamed his victim: "Jesus forgives me, why won't _you?"_

@@UlshaRSReading memes in a RUclips video is like all the worst aspects of explaining a joke and reading all the text on a PowerPoint presentation word for word. Doesn't help that the memes he presents are bad to begin with. Most of them don't seem to know or care how the template works, others do in fact look like one of those horrible PP slides that has 3 paragraphs, all of which the presenter just rattles off verbatim. He's also hardly adding anything to the conversation. Several times it's "so this meme is self explanatory, but let me explain it anyway, without any critical analysis or interesting interpretation". It feels like boomer humor, diluted with stale water and spat out onto the dirty pavement. It's not even cringe, it's just lame.
"Why I am not an atheist: because a god is described in a book, as wanting to punish me for the bad things that I myself think I have done." Eehmm... yeah, right; there is no dissociation to be found in that though, is there.
The story about "god coming out of the cloud" really blew the whole gaffe for me (though I was honestly not really buying his story before that point). If you see a cloud coming at you and you don't believe in any gods, why would you suddenly think that maybe it's a sign from god? Clouds happen all the time, even really big scary storm clouds. If that put you in mind of a vengeful god then you must have had at least some kind of a god belief before that moment. I'd look at that cloud and think "Oh, looks like the weather's about to turn, I better get inside". I wouldn't start musing on Jesus' role as a metaphorical scape goat for the entire human race. This is not how atheists convert. This is how people who have always been religious think atheists convert, and almost every "I used to be an atheist" story I've ever heard sounds more or less exactly like this in substance, if not in detail.
Plus, he then goes on to describe his position as essentially a big heap of Christian beliefs - which an atheist would obviously not have. So he became a Christian because he already was a Christian. Big whoop-de-doo!

No one is convinced by any of that nonsense, that's the thing. People like this guy speak only to an audience of people who are already convinced and share the exact same beliefs on absolutely everything and have zero critical thinking abilities.
The answer is, they aren't. They aren't convinced by these "arguments", or by any of the half-dozen over-recycled apologetic "arguments" we debunk every day. They are _reassured_ by them. They want to feel special and smart and superior but they have no idea what _actual_ intelligence looks like (since they've been kept away from it their whole life, under threat of beatings) so when some asshat confidently says a bunch of _complimacaytid werds_ Timmy McBiblethump becomes reassured and feels like he's the smart one after all.

8:50 Being scientific does not mean accepting what scientists say, rather it is using the scientific method, in which you make a prediction and then observe reality to confirm or deny the truth of that prediction.
Meme 1: "I can be moral without God." If it is the case that God does not exist, people are moral, so this would be true. However, the meme also claims that sin would also exist. Sin is not a concept atheists hold to. It has no definition outside of theism that is typically found to be useful. So, before we even consider what the contradictory belief is supposed to be, we've already found a strawman. The second belief is just that, "Sin doesn't exist if you don't believe in God., therefore neither morality nor sin exist." We just got done explaining that atheists don't typically believe sin exists and that morality existing does not mean sin also must exist. Morality deals with good and bad behaviour, and there are different ways to express what that actually means in practice, but nowhere there does it entail sin must exist. The second belief is also mischaracterised, though probably as a result of poor wording rather than intentional strawmanning. If God did exist, so would sin, irrespective of whether the atheist believed in God. Not believing in God that exists would not mean sin didn't exist either in theological systems where God determines what sin is. It would mean the atheist was wrong about the nonexistence of sin. This is why the atheist holds that sin does not exist if there is no God, not that because they believe there is no God, there is no sin. In other words, both sin and the existence of God are subjects of belief, where one necessitates the other in particular theological presentations, and the atheist rejects both beliefs. It doesn't follow that if God doesn't exist and sin doesn't exist, morality also doesn't exist. So, the meme presents a strawman and a mischaracterisation, and then claims the atheist has beliefs that contradict each other.
Honestly I didn't find a problem with this. Books written even a few hundred years ago need auxiliary material to really understand them.

Actually, many Christians have read the whole thing. But they make up things to get them through the 'difficult' parts. For example, they reinterpret the notorious example in 2Kings 2 : 18-22, where god sends two she-bears to maul 42 children for mocking Elisha's bald head into a 'gang of youths attacked Elisha' and God was merely defending his prophet. (Dan McLellan and other bible scholars have pointed out that the Hebrew word used specifically refers to 'small children', not 'young men.')

6:40 If people were working for the second coming of Sauron ("may the Dark Lord rule, for the time of the orc has come"), then atheists would object to that too.
I'd rather have the second coming of Morgoth than the christian god being real. Not even the lovechild of Morgoth and the austrian funny mustache guy could ever beat the christian god in evillness.
@@Isaac-hm6ih Isn't Sauron not that bad of a guy though? He took the impoverish lower class of Middle Earth, gave them a fertile home and it's the Elves and Men, etc. who think he's evil and keep him suppressed and in poverty? Like they treat Mordor like a quarantine zone? Then wonder why everyone is poor, miserable and wants to take their stuff...
@stylesrj It's an interesting point to consider, but unless we assume whole sections of the setting's history were rewritten to villainise him then there's plenty to indicate he's pretty terrible. The protagonists are biased, but in Sauron's case I don't think they're wrong. Some examples: He turned Numenor into a borderline theocracy full of slavery and blood sacrifice. They were already a colonising empire, but he definitely made them lean into the bad sides of it. And he almost certainly knew that conquering Valinor wouldn't give humans immortality, so he had them go to war against a passive target for... his own revenge, probably? Maybe an attempt to free Morgoth, which is more morally ambiguous (although given how he made orcs, Morgoth probably can't be trusted around people), but it doesn't seem like an effective way to do that. He's willing to use mind control, and built it into the magic rings he gave out. Not letting the wearers die becomes highly morally suspect when he's influencing their minds. Southern Mordor is farmed by vast numbers of slaves.
@@Isaac-hm6ih Thing is though, when he made the rings and handed them out, everyone was like "Awww sweet! Magic rings of power! Thanks Sauron!" Then when they discovered he had one ring to control them it's like "Hey wait a minute, how did we not see this coming!" Like maybe not take the magic rings in the first place? Oh but sure if you don't someone else might and they might be controlled by Sauron... so take the magic ring to have a fighting chance? Yeah I never read the books myself so I dunno his full list of war crimes but it's kind of sus that the "good" guys willingly accepted magic rings of power from the "evil" guy then got mad when the "evil" guy had a ring that controlled them. Like come on, wouldn't you put a failsafe in just in case someone decides to use the rings against you?
Good news! Nobody is a sinner bc sin doesn't exist! You should be a good person bc it benefits you and those around you, and the more ppl do that the more benefits stack up.
You don't need to have read the Bible or anything like that, you can save yourself the trouble. But if you want to discuss the Bible with theists, then you should have read the Bible.
I read the bible - specifically the KJV - for three reasons: 1) Self defense. I was raised atheist in a very Christian community. It was easier to counter Christian claims if I knew their beliefs. 2) I got a BA in English literature. The KJV was one of the strongest influences on English literature forward (even today). Knowing the KJV is essential to understanding the origin, themes and assumptions of English literature. 3) Similar to point 2, the KJV has shaped much of the political and social thought of English speaking countries. Knowing the KJV gives valuable insight into how we got to where we are.
@@TheLevantin Well you don't have to read that far into it. "And god said let there be light..." How the fuck would anybody know what he said? There weren't people yet according to the story. And then we get mud man and wind alived him, then a woman made from his rib, but he isn't missing a rib, and then the magic apple and talking snake part which declares why all children are born bad. Since the entire bible is predicated on this story, that is as far as anybody needs to go.
18:05 So he wanted answers about evolution.....yet did not read specifically about evolution. But he found 2 books he read that had minimal information about evolution. Then he asked question to experts/educators and in "God is not dead" fashion these people pretty much had no answers and just riled against the bible. This the script of God is not dead 5 or something?
Christians' attempts to answer these questions basically turns Yahweh into a drug trip. You get so high on his presence that you don't notice the eternity of purposeless stagnation as you're happy to do nothing but bask in his presence forever, and you don't even care anymore that you're loved ones are burning in Hell. Kinda puts a dampener on the whole geting to see your loved ones again promise. They'll be too stoned to even acknowledge you. But don't worry, because you'll be stoned out of your mind too!
Me thinks that whole butterfly entomologist story is complete Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe droppings. "I'm a Christian and see the persecution?!" Bull. It's a book on butterflies, not a treatise on evolution. PS: Sheesh, he double downed on it later. I hear very real and smug ignorance with this guy.
I'm an atheist BECAUSE I've read the Bible and the Quran and a lot about Hinduism, Buddhism, etc... Plus I went to a catholic private school. The more you learn about religion, the further you stay away from it.
Even God doesnt believe in himself. He wrote "Thou shall have no other gods before me," which means he is either aware of other gods and is insecure about them, or he is insecure about his own desirabilty as a diety so he must threaten us to get our praise.
He became a Christian because he realized he was guilty of sin but somehow he learned about sin without it being a thing that came from Christians? Spontaneous sin knowledge? Oh, wait, it was because Christians told him things? Wow, it is almost as if your religion is highly influenced by geography and upbringing or some tosh.
How to read the Bible for all it’s worth was one of my favorite books when I was in Christian College. It really helped me down the line in understanding the book isn’t credible. But moreso, that Christian’s have NO CLUE about how their Bible came together or what it means.
It’s like Ricky Gervais said : ”If get rid of all holy books and all science books , in thousand years , all the science books would be back , exactly the same. The religious books would not. They would be different variations of the previous fairytales.
The only thing that can "disprove" atheism is positive evidence that there is a super duper magic guy that just poofed itself into existence and then somehow poofed everything else into existence. However this wouldn't disprove "atheism" because atheism is being unconvinced of the claims of magic believers, so people could still remain unconvinced.
I like how he says: "Of course, NO DATA is given in that. No evidence of that and i don't even know how you can prove that exist because you would have to physically see it" about evolution... Why can't he apply that same logic about his sky-wizard??...

Ohh, a lot of fun fallacies in this one. The one that made me laugh though, was `the amount of the bible atheists read in order to refute the bible.` I've lost count of the amount of Christians I've interacted with over the last 59 years that couldn't tell you how many books are in the bible, let alone have ever read it, and can barely recite a few verses they have memorized. (Usually badly.) However, it's irrelevant anyway. I'm not an atheist `because bible.` It's stupid to begin with.
The ones that get me are the really basic ones that have like. "Atheists when they die and discover god is real" And then a shocked looking kitten picture. It's so extremely empty of anything of substance it's worth less then a dogs fart. I could reply with "theists when they discover there's no heaven" and just put a picture of a gravestone and it would hold more weight. Maybe I just struggle to wrap my head around this line of thinking.
Is this guy a meme? The amount of misinterpretations and outright falsehoods in that ... _video_ ... is astronomical. "Hey, I can destroy this giant straw-Atheism!" "Look to what he has done for me!" . Yup. Looking at it right now. I see ... nothing. Nothing whatsoever. Pretty sure "his question" was not really as described. Maybe his "question" was immediately recognizable as creationist attacks on science. Cause and effect, you know? So ... the guy became a Christian because he believed in a number of Christian teachings? What's wrong with this picture?
Funny thing about this, a meme could destroy an argument if it points out a couple contradictory, necessary pillars of the argument and how they contradict. So we could construct a few memes that literally destroy Christianity...
This guy telling us to "Get into God's word" just reminds me of Mr. Burns telling Smithers to "Hop in" to his model plane. I'm good over here in reality sir.
Then he pointed a gun at Smithers and insisted he get into the plane (remember, when Smithers said it was a nice model, Mr. Burns acted incredulous that someone would call it a model) Which is kind of apt also for religion. Because in many places they do indeed point a metaphorical gun at the backs of those who think it's a model or a story.

I’m a former Catholic-turned-atheist. And every Christian I’ve ever met believes God is an all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal and infinite being. Yet, most of these same Christians ALSO claim to know the will, the wishes, the motives, the intentions, or the mind of this omnipotent and omniscient being. And that is just so egotistical and arrogant! They’re essentially claiming that they have superpowers- that they are divine telepaths or able to read the mind of a Supreme Intelligence. In my opinion, no one like that deserves to be taken seriously. Ever. No matter their religious affiliation.
Yea, they claim to know all those things about god until it's inconvenient to their argument about god. That's when they pull out the "we can't truly know god" logic, to make excuses for their god.
They are correct, Elisa. Just not the way they want to be.
There's been a study called "The Neural Correlates of Religious and Nonreligious Belief" which essentially, in layman's terms, figured out that when believers think about what God wants, the part of their brain that becomes active ISN'T the part of the brain used to think about what *other people* want, but what *they themselves* want.
They know what God wants, because it's what *they* want.
But yet we're the ones that "are our own gods" :D
@@cy-one That goes along with praying. If you pray to an all knowing all powerful god to get it to change its mind then you are essentially telling the god that you know better than the god and it should do what you want.

On the "Ranting Entomologist" story. I'll take "Things that never happened for 500 "Alex
Oh, i'm not doubting he got answers that HE interpreted as "man angrily shouting about how much they hate god"... I just doubt that with his inelegant and clumsy way to talk he could have formulated the "question" unaccusatory or withtout any of his arrogant presupposition about science and atheism, so the replies were just referring to his badly worded question that implied god must have done it and they are stupid if they do not accept that...
Oh it totally happened! He broke into the college campus, crashed the professor's course, and started shouting biblw verses. Probably.
Their stories always reveal that, if they even did ask someone the question, that they were combative and were pushing the bible as "scientific".
Ya, this feels like a story where the reverse actually happened. He didn't simply ask how they evolved, he said something like "how do you explain this ridiculously stupid idea that butterflies and their food just magically evolved at the same time when (long aggressive apologetics sermon)... okay now speak". Gee, I wonder why the scientist responded with hostility.
And neither did the "persecution" he received.
Nothing is sadder than seeing an adult who has not matured and continues to believe in imaginary friends.
Note his "why I'm a Christian" story starts with him being a Christian. A non-Christian wouldn't be worried about sinning against the Christian god.
He is lying for Jesus, apparently permissible.
It's performance art. Artless performance art, if we're being honest.

I awlays said it as a joke, but here we have a Theist in a Clip basicly saying: "..The Bible is the word of God,.. but here buy my Book to understand on how to read the Bible!.."
Makes the Theist a living Meme. XD
The most important book in the world (supposedly) and it's one of the most inaccessible and hard to understand texts because of layers upon layers of interpretation (also supposedly) and this is the only book which has the stamp of approval by the (supposedly) perfect god which Christianity worships?
It's the "my god lives in that cave.", the cave is checked and no god is found, so the man claims "my god lives on top of that mountain" and so the top of the mountain was checked with same results. "My god lives in the clouds." we manage to find ways to fly and still no god.
Now god lives beyond space and time and the bible needs supernatural assistance to even begin to be understandable.
Yeah that sounds pretty darn fishy to me.
Funny how an omniscient deity needs help from human authors of Bible commentaries, Systematic Theologies, and the like. One might think that such an entity could write a book so brilliant, so clear and profound that no human commentaries would be necessary or desirable.

I would like to ask any theist that arguments for that "Jesus took our sins upon himself" if they would accept that argument in any other situation.
"Here, we caught this school shooter redhanded, who killed 25 kids and 3 teachers. However, someone else took his crime upon himself and will face the death penalty so the shooter gets off scott-free as he apologized to and thanked the one who did that."
Ah yes the "I'm a christian because i think i'm a horrible person and religion gives me a excuse to continue to be an jerk because all my horrible behavior will be forgiven and that makes me feel better about continuing to be a prick" line of thinking.
In order:
1) We do not need God for morality, which can be derived from interpesonal ethics. And even by the standards laid out in your bible, your god is a horrifyingly immoral being (if he exists.)
2) Atheists do not take the bible 'out of context.' Your 'interpretaion' is always accompanied by special pleading and assumptions not contained in the text.
3) Must study the bible to understand it. As the SkepTick states, if a god can't make its meaning plain, I question its wisdom. Scientific claims, OTOH, can be tested.
4) I do not _know_ God doesn't exist. And he doesn't _know_ that God exists. He _believes_ God exists and I will continue to believe God doesn't exist until I have evidence to the contrary.
5) Refuting the claims of Christianity is not the same as being angry at an imaginary being. I do, however, get angry at Christians who attempt to force their faith on others.
6) Attempts to explain the origin of the universe and life are hypotheses, not articles of faith. The hypotheses can be examined as to their plausibility in view of our current understanding of physics, chemistry and biology. Saying " _God did it_ " explains nothing and is not possible to analyse.
7) "Most scientists believe in God" means nothing. Unless they can _PROVE_ the existence of a God, it makes no diffence whether 1%, 10%, 50% or 100% do so. Facts are not determined by vote.
7) "Most scientists believe in God" Actually, most do not. However if you claim a "Christian Scientist" or a "YEC" and a "Flat Earther" is a scientist...you can skew the numbers to make that claim. Those folks aren't even remotely scientists.

This is one that tends to be skipped in discussions about atheists.
It's not that I don't believe because I don't want to, God has blinded me so that once I didn't, because that's just how my parents raised me, I never could and never will. Perhaps as an example to you and the other believers of how terrible life is without God? In His wisdom and grace, He decided that condemning me to hell, without anything I can do about it, is worth the souls it could save?
This is one of the verses Protestants need to explain away with some mental gymnastics and creative interpretation, while Calvinists say that who will be saved is predetermined and all you can hope for is that you are on of the chosen. And then the Calvinists have to explain the verses where it says it actually is a conscious choice of the non-believer. That's easier, though, because they can just say that it feels like they've made a choice, but there never really was one.
This would also mean that any conversion can't be a true conversion. Once someone does not believe in Christ, they are blinded from ever finding salvation.
Perhaps a world where the overwhelming majority of people will suffer eternal torment as an example to the others so a few could be saved is the best God could do.
I'm not saying you won't be able to reconcile the two notions, mind you, but it takes a lot of creativity and mental gymnastics and definitely goes against a plain reading of the text. Or you just ignore the verses of the bible you don't like, because they've been retconned or something. That's popular too.

because a god is described in a book, as wanting to punish me for the bad things that I myself think I have done."
Eehmm... yeah, right; there is no dissociation to be found in that though, is there.
That is how you respond when you get a ticket in the mail for a traffic violation.
The story about "god coming out of the cloud" really blew the whole gaffe for me (though I was honestly not really buying his story before that point).
If you see a cloud coming at you and you don't believe in any gods, why would you suddenly think that maybe it's a sign from god? Clouds happen all the time, even really big scary storm clouds. If that put you in mind of a vengeful god then you must have had at least some kind of a god belief before that moment. I'd look at that cloud and think "Oh, looks like the weather's about to turn, I better get inside". I wouldn't start musing on Jesus' role as a metaphorical scape goat for the entire human race.
This is not how atheists convert. This is how people who have always been religious think atheists convert, and almost every "I used to be an atheist" story I've ever heard sounds more or less exactly like this in substance, if not in detail.
Plus, he then goes on to describe his position as essentially a big heap of Christian beliefs - which an atheist would obviously not have. So he became a Christian because he already was a Christian. Big whoop-de-doo!
i love how theist think memes are a gotcha 😂
It's their best evidence 🧾
if i was a Christian i would pray that I'd never get convinced by these stupidious arguments. i don't understand how anyone can ever be convinced by this nonsense.
when you really want to believe something you'll accept any old tosh.
No one is convinced by any of that nonsense, that's the thing. People like this guy speak only to an audience of people who are already convinced and share the exact same beliefs on absolutely everything and have zero critical thinking abilities.
The answer is, they aren't. They aren't convinced by these "arguments", or by any of the half-dozen over-recycled apologetic "arguments" we debunk every day.
They are _reassured_ by them. They want to feel special and smart and superior but they have no idea what _actual_ intelligence looks like (since they've been kept away from it their whole life, under threat of beatings) so when some asshat confidently says a bunch of _complimacaytid werds_ Timmy McBiblethump becomes reassured and feels like he's the smart one after all. Apologists could literally shit themselves on stage and as long as they did it confidently enough the sheep would applaud.
if you did not have understood atheism is just a religion (with its dogmas, such there is no God, the universe is not created, we are no children of God and so on) and so it is a belief system, a universal one, which hold his own perfect true (there is no God) and this is not but a Battle of faith (the faith in atheism and the faith in God) so a War of Religion now you have the prove... that why atheists keep talking about God, Christianity and so on, obsessively. Welcome in the world of Religion, and in the wart of religions which you are in (actually you atheist are the one always ready for it... there are none better then you in the web to fight a war of religion, believein or not) ... Saying so, Atheists talk about the Bible because they stand on nothing, they believe in nothing (the nothing their atheism gives to them) and so they created their sick cult, where they can be frustrated , obsessed and live by reflection of what they do not even believe. You are just like your atheism got nothing to offer to us nether to yourself. What a sick cult you are in. ... (you want a battle of Beliefe and religion for no reason, so you are going to lose anyway... you are going to lose also because you live a reflection of what other people believe (God) constantly, because you are dishonest to admit you are no religious (and I just proves atheism is a religion and you have faith on it, otherwise you will not be atheist) you will lose because God will judge you as well, and you as atheist will be very very weak... your cult and you will expire soon and people will not even remember about your belief system, that nothing gives and nothing produce, but obsession and frustration (That why I consedr you not just frustrated but higly dishonest, 1. because you deny for no reason Godm and Secondly because you call yourself no religion, which is not the case, so you are a lier, two times..............

8:50 Being scientific does not mean accepting what scientists say, rather it is using the scientific method, in which you make a prediction and then observe reality to confirm or deny the truth of that prediction.
Meme 1: "I can be moral without God." If it is the case that God does not exist, people are moral, so this would be true. However, the meme also claims that sin would also exist. Sin is not a concept atheists hold to. It has no definition outside of theism that is typically found to be useful. So, before we even consider what the contradictory belief is supposed to be, we've already found a strawman.
The second belief is just that, "Sin doesn't exist if you don't believe in God., therefore neither morality nor sin exist." We just got done explaining that atheists don't typically believe sin exists and that morality existing does not mean sin also must exist. Morality deals with good and bad behaviour, and there are different ways to express what that actually means in practice, but nowhere there does it entail sin must exist.
The second belief is also mischaracterised, though probably as a result of poor wording rather than intentional strawmanning. If God did exist, so would sin, irrespective of whether the atheist believed in God. Not believing in God that exists would not mean sin didn't exist either in theological systems where God determines what sin is. It would mean the atheist was wrong about the nonexistence of sin. This is why the atheist holds that sin does not exist if there is no God, not that because they believe there is no God, there is no sin. In other words, both sin and the existence of God are subjects of belief, where one necessitates the other in particular theological presentations, and the atheist rejects both beliefs.
It doesn't follow that if God doesn't exist and sin doesn't exist, morality also doesn't exist.
So, the meme presents a strawman and a mischaracterisation, and then claims the atheist has beliefs that contradict each other.
Yes. Excellent.

And somehow my German literature teachers weren't all that pleased when I tried to prove my points regarding Goethe or Lessing by pointing to some bottons on my jacket with cool oneliners written on them, the memes of the late seventies.
I can totally relate to this guy's arguing. It happened to me all of the time as well.

The only thing these meme's proved is that the people that made them havent ever actually listened to an athiest before. And in some cases havent even read their own holy book.

Yeah, to have gotten those crazy responses makes me wonder if he just talked to people in asylums or something. Or the invisible people in his head.
To give benefit of the doubt, I think he might have opened up with aggressive religion so they would say something like "Maybe let's not start with the Bible on this one..." and he interpreted that as them calling the Bible stupid.

He recognized he was a bad person and needed to be judged. So he decided to be a bad person. And Judge others, and think his corrupted belief system should be imposed on everyone else. Looks like this dude has really learned things from the Bible he loves so much.
He has never read the whole Bible. I guarantee it. He has read the parts he likes and ignores the rest.
Actually, many Christians have read the whole thing. But they make up things to get them through the 'difficult' parts. For example, they reinterpret the notorious example in 2Kings 2 : 18-22, where god sends two she-bears to maul 42 children for mocking Elisha's bald head into a 'gang of youths attacked Elisha' and God was merely defending his prophet. (Dan McLellan and other bible scholars have pointed out that the Hebrew word used specifically refers to 'small children', not 'young men.')
@@condorboss3339yeah i was a Christian i could say that we take any excuse just to be "moral"

I find it hard to believe such a major book makes such a claim without any discussion online. Would be interested if anyone knows differently.
As far as I know, there is not a definitive answer on which branch of vertebrates flew first (avian dinosaurs, reptiles, or mammals). Entirely possible that the origins of flight were discussed and that this individual has significant reading comprehension issues.
It’s hard for these people to comprehend what they’re reading when they’re screaming Jesus at the book the whole time.
And of the mammals, only bats are capable of true flight--the rest glide. (All of them are very cool, though!)
The projection driven by cognitive dissonance is STRONG with this one.

@@Finckelstein I'd say Morgoth comes somewhat close in intent, just with less power. But yes, even Sauron lets most of his victims die eventually.

Isn't Sauron not that bad of a guy though? He took the impoverish lower class of Middle Earth, gave them a fertile home and it's the Elves and Men, etc. who think he's evil and keep him suppressed and in poverty? Like they treat Mordor like a quarantine zone? Then wonder why everyone is poor, miserable and wants to take their stuff...
@stylesrj It's an interesting point to consider, but unless we assume whole sections of the setting's history were rewritten to villainise him then there's plenty to indicate he's pretty terrible. The protagonists are biased, but in Sauron's case I don't think they're wrong. Some examples:
He turned Numenor into a borderline theocracy full of slavery and blood sacrifice. They were already a colonising empire, but he definitely made them lean into the bad sides of it. And he almost certainly knew that conquering Valinor wouldn't give humans immortality, so he had them go to war against a passive target for... his own revenge, probably? Maybe an attempt to free Morgoth, which is more morally ambiguous (although given how he made orcs, Morgoth probably can't be trusted around people), but it doesn't seem like an effective way to do that.
He's willing to use mind control, and built it into the magic rings he gave out. Not letting the wearers die becomes highly morally suspect when he's influencing their minds.
Southern Mordor is farmed by vast numbers of slaves.
@@Isaac-hm6ih
Thing is though, when he made the rings and handed them out, everyone was like "Awww sweet! Magic rings of power! Thanks Sauron!"
Then when they discovered he had one ring to control them it's like "Hey wait a minute, how did we not see this coming!"
Like maybe not take the magic rings in the first place? Oh but sure if you don't someone else might and they might be controlled by Sauron... so take the magic ring to have a fighting chance?
Yeah I never read the books myself so I dunno his full list of war crimes but it's kind of sus that the "good" guys willingly accepted magic rings of power from the "evil" guy then got mad when the "evil" guy had a ring that controlled them. Like come on, wouldn't you put a failsafe in just in case someone decides to use the rings against you?

You don't need to have read the Bible or anything like that, you can save yourself the trouble. But if you want to discuss the Bible with theists, then you should have read the Bible.
Most Xtians only read excerpts. They don't read the whole myth collection.
I read the bible - specifically the KJV - for three reasons: 1) Self defense. I was raised atheist in a very Christian community. It was easier to counter Christian claims if I knew their beliefs. 2) I got a BA in English literature. The KJV was one of the strongest influences on English literature forward (even today). Knowing the KJV is essential to understanding the origin, themes and assumptions of English literature. 3) Similar to point 2, the KJV has shaped much of the political and social thought of English speaking countries. Knowing the KJV gives valuable insight into how we got to where we are.
@@TheLevantin Technically if anyone wants to propose the bible is true then they need to read every single other book. It's only fair.
@@TheLevantin Well you don't have to read that far into it. "And god said let there be light..." How the fuck would anybody know what he said? There weren't people yet according to the story. And then we get mud man and wind alived him, then a woman made from his rib, but he isn't missing a rib, and then the magic apple and talking snake part which declares why all children are born bad. Since the entire bible is predicated on this story, that is as far as anybody needs to go.

Then he asked question to experts/educators and in "God is not dead" fashion these people pretty much had no answers and just riled against the bible. This the script of God is not dead 5 or something?
Christians' attempts to answer these questions basically turns Yahweh into a drug trip. You get so high on his presence that you don't notice the eternity of purposeless stagnation as you're happy to do nothing but bask in his presence forever, and you don't even care anymore that you're loved ones are burning in Hell.

He became a Christian because he realized he was guilty of sin but somehow he learned about sin without it being a thing that came from Christians? Spontaneous sin knowledge? Oh, wait, it was because Christians told him things? Wow, it is almost as if your religion is highly influenced by geography and upbringing or some tosh.
How to read the Bible for all it’s worth was one of my favorite books when I was in Christian College. It really helped me down the line in understanding the book isn’t credible. But moreso, that Christian’s have NO CLUE about how their Bible came together or what it means.

The only thing that can "disprove" atheism is positive evidence that there is a super duper magic guy that just poofed itself into existence and then somehow poofed everything else into existence. However this wouldn't disprove "atheism" because atheism is being unconvinced of the claims of magic believers, so people could still remain unconvinced.

Ohh, a lot of fun fallacies in this one. The one that made me laugh though, was `the amount of the bible atheists read in order to refute the bible.` I've lost count of the amount of Christians I've interacted with over the last 59 years that couldn't tell you how many books are in the bible, let alone have ever read it, and can barely recite a few verses they have memorized. (Usually badly.)
However, it's irrelevant anyway. I'm not an atheist `because bible.` It's stupid to begin with.
You don’t even need an anecdote to prove that one is dumb. You just need the easily available data.
The ones that get me are the really basic ones that have like.

It's so extremely empty of anything of substance it's worth less then a dogs fart.
I could reply with "theists when they discover there's no heaven" and just put a picture of a gravestone and it would hold more weight.
Maybe I just struggle to wrap my head around this line of thinking.
Is this guy a meme? The amount of misinterpretations and outright falsehoods in that ... _video_ ... is astronomical. "Hey, I can destroy this giant straw-Atheism!"
"Look to what he has done for me!" . Yup. Looking at it right now. I see ... nothing. Nothing whatsoever.
Pretty sure "his question" was not really as described. Maybe his "question" was immediately recognizable as creationist attacks on science. Cause and effect, you know?
So ... the guy became a Christian because he believed in a number of Christian teachings? What's wrong with this picture?
Funny thing about this, a meme could destroy an argument if it points out a couple contradictory, necessary pillars of the argument and how they contradict. So we could construct a few memes that literally destroy Christianity...
To be fair, I've never heard a better argument for God. That's because they're all terrible, not because his are any good, though.
This guy telling us to "Get into God's word" just reminds me of Mr. Burns telling Smithers to "Hop in" to his model plane. I'm good over here in reality sir.
Then he pointed a gun at Smithers and insisted he get into the plane (remember, when Smithers said it was a nice model, Mr. Burns acted incredulous that someone would call it a model)
Which is kind of apt also for religion. Because in many places they do indeed point a metaphorical gun at the backs of those who think it's a model or a story.
@@stylesrj I remember the scene, but I failed to associate it in quite that way, good point.
Of course your god has a creator. Why else would it have all the physical attributes of a terrestrial human being?
And why does this god have a gender? But having a gender sounds very human and not divine.
just ask them if god has a penis? if they say yes ask where mrs god is and does she have a vagina ?
