Coming out as an atheist in the Philippines is almost unheard of. Filipinos are very religious people, but it bothers me that most people think that having no religion means I worship the devil or I'm just going through a bad time in my life. Having no religion is an option. I respect other people's belief, but why can't they respect mine? It's very frustrating.
Not being a theist cannot be an option when a god is observed and proven to be real. Theists claim a god or gods are real, theists need to present their gods as proof because we do not observe gods existing on multiple occasions... in fact, on none.
I told a lady who was trying to get me to attend their church that I do not have a religion and do not intend to join any and she said, "It's okay. God loves everyone including you." They don't understand. 😁
because religious people can be the most judgmental people on the planet. whenever you go against the status quo, they will attack you. they're only good Catholics/Christians whenever its convenient for them... for example: a lot of Religious nut jobs oppose same sex marriage saying its against God's law.... but then turn around and cheat on their wives with other women (which is also against God's law) most religious folks are hypocrites.
@@joperez9229 morality from (god )based on religion: punishment for breaking the Sabbath, death is punishment for gays, women has no rights, death is the punishment for the apostates, slavery is allowed, stoned to death is the punishment for adultery etc. Do u think this is "absolute morality"? I don't think so, I think this is an absolute stupidity. I rather have a morality that came from SECULAR MORAL PHILOSOPHY and RATIONAL DISCUSSION. Thought-out, reasoned, argued, discussed.
@@yumikikyu6027 Hi Yumi! Here are my reasons why I believe there is a God; 1.because there is order and design in our universe. 2.There is objective morality. 3. Jesus and His Church. Now, I know there are a lot of "gods" but I'm a Catholic so I believe in the Holy Trinity.
According to Pope Francis himself "It is better to be an Atheist rather than a devoted Catholic who judges people who not believe in God." An open conversation with an open mind and having respect. The world will be a better place.

Atheists are right that they are the product of mindless unguided natural processes, then they have given a strong reason to doubt the reliability of human cognitive faculties. And therefore inevitably to doubt the validity of any belief that they produce including their atheism. And their beliefs in naturalism would therefore appear to be at war with each other, in a conflict that is nothing to do with “God”
I agree..... maraming mayroong mga valid points at masasabi mo talagang may alam sila sa topic, open-minded sila, at rinerespeto nila paniniwala ng iba... which is good 😁
Im an atheist, but i dont mind going to church since it still means a lot for my mother. I used to see it as a chore, but then i just used mass time for more constructive things like: - planning what to do for work this coming week - remembering what needs to be bought, paid etc. - listen to the priest. I treat this more like "story time" - admire architecture, if im in a church ive never been to before - or make faces at the kid who just stares at you
My ex boyfriend was an atheist and I am a Catholic. He was so kind, loving, sweet and respectful. Sometimes we talked about my faith and how much I love God, he just listens and never judge. This video is really an eye-opener. Kudos to the team who created this.
@@johnpauldayaobondoc trait nga po pero nasa bible din yon at utos yon na mismo ang Dios nagsabi. Katulad ng love your parents. Atheist pero nasusunod naman ang nasa bible.
cause they are just 'religious' karamihan sa kanila relihiyoso lang ginagawa at sinusunod lang nila ang standards sa religion nila, may mga religion na di naman gumagamit ng bible at ang gumagamit lang ng bible sa kanila ay ung nagpipreach. being religious is different from being a Christian.
@@munalemj I am quite curious to your "evidences" of god. Most of them have been debunked as it was riddled with fallacious statements and interpretation of the matter.
Kapag sinabi mo kasi na atheist ka, parang napakasama mo na. Religious people are the first one to judge you,even you dont speak anything about their belief.
"Just because we're different doesn't mean we have to be in conflict with each other." And that's the problem with people, not just in religion pero sa buhay in general. We want to impose our beliefs and kept on arguing na ito dapat ang sundin and ito ang tama... Pero nakakalimutan natin na rumespeto, sa tao at sa kung ano mang pinaniniwalaan niya. If yun yung pinaniniwalaan niya, let it be. 👍🏻
Ang problema kasi sa mga religion is nasa doctrina nila na pag hindi ka naniwala about this certain God is mapupunta ka sa impyerno at magdudusa ka, kaya iinsist talaga nila sayo na maniwala ka 👎
True. Atheists seem to care more about people's feelings rather than religious ones cuz religious ones just tell "just be positive". While atheists will really listen to the problems.
@@jamestudtud it depends on us if we help.. It doesnt matter because were religious. But we have a heart to share the love to others..and we are ready to face our fears...

I envy people who still believes in "God", its just so easy to submit all the problems/hardships to "Him" but i just cant just ignore reality or facts about life.
You can believe, be aware, think about facts all at the same time. And it's not about just submitting, it's also about letting Him give us strength and guidance to overcome problems and hardships that you're referring to.

I had been in a relationship wherein my partner's really religious. Everytime I did something wrong, he'll utter a lot of bible verses, in which doesn't truly help me. I tried to apply it into my life but it isn't working. One day, I've talked to him and this is what I exactly told him; "Sorry ____, but those bible verses wouldn't help me to change my life. And please stop convincing me to convert into your religion. Because for me, my relationship with God matters the most. As long as I can talk to Him, my faith is still there. I don't have to perform any activities that will "certify" me as a Catholic.. At the end of day, it's just me and God." Sadly, we broke up...
Well its a bit over the top when he keeps on reciting verses .and if he didn't understand u wen you sat him down and told him that faith is u and god alone then maybe it was for the best that u guys ended it.
Its really hard to compliment with someone if both of you have different values or belief in life. It takes effort to truly respect each other without involving your beliefs and faith.
dionysus gay #ForTheGays well the Bible say otherwise that none of us is good but god For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Nothing you can do can save you Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
I thought the same thing too when I was a kid! Though I wasn't an atheist then. But it's not like there's a school in the first place that's not religious. Plus I didn't get a say to which school I can go to anyway.
Can I ask you something? Can a people become a nation again after having been dispersed in different parts of the world for more than two thousand years? And in the countries where they were exiled, they were the minority and were heavily persecuted. They were not allowed to secure jobs and were often expelled from their lands.. And throughout the ages, kings, queens, political and religious leaders tried to annihilate them...do you think they could survive as a people? Could they become a nation again and become a powerful force in the region shortly after they reestablish themselves in the land of their forefathers? And as they tried to rebuild their tiny country, they have to survive the attacks of the neighboring nations that have more well-established armies? Considering they are a small country, with no army at that time, as small as New Jersey with the land mostly dessert, surrounded by enemies who attack them from all sides --- and with hardly any natural resources that even Mark Twain in his diary said that even a cactus was having a hard time to grow in this arid, bone dry and dessicated land ? Will they survive? What do you think?
I was always the "Anti Christ" every time I try to talk about my beliefs as an Atheist. I can't blame people since in the Philippines, even public schools promote religion.
Yes, one time I was talking with someone when I have an appointment in a Psychiatrist. I told this person that I'm atheist and I don't believe in God, he already assumed that I'm "Anti Christ" so it's kind of awkward to explain lol
@@iantarrayo3088 I was once told by an acquaintance "Kaya pala mukha kang devil worshiper" when she found out about it.

Christelle took the words out of my mouth about believing in the goodness of people. Atheists and christians actually have more in common than we really think
I somehow agree. Most likely, they are just holding it up trying not to loose cool, but deep down inside they are making judgements about each other. 🙂
4 of my previous schoolmates are atheists, met two more in my current class, another on a recent student press conference, and a lot more online. Atheism is actually that common. Just that, talking about it is considered taboo while living in a very theist country.
Sama ka sa atheist republic manila consulate sa facebook. May atheist republic sa facebook sa buong mundo pero mayroon by country/state/province din.

Base sa statistics, isa tayo sa mga pinakamalaking rate ng increase in population. Lalo na sa kabataan dahil available na ang impormasyon sakanila through internet.
No it's not hard to find Pinoy atheists. What's hard is to get them reveal themselves, and mostly the Athiest who proudly reveals themselves are sadly the jerks. The few bad apples.
"Just because we are different doesn't mean we should be in conflict with each other." As a Christian who has a brother who is an Atheist, I really appreciate this video :) Love, acceptance, and understanding for all ❤️
All I can see in the whole video was RESPECT. Mutual respect between two people who have different views in life. No judgment. Just ears who are ready to listen and to understand. I love this channels content. 👍🏻
yeah ang mali doon eh yung mismong mga taong namamahala doon like ng mga pari, obispo na nagtatago ng mga may kaso sa bakuran nla which is di yun gus2 ng Diyos
Pero walang patunay na totoo ang Diyos. Huwag mo sakin sabihin ang "HUAAWAAHAHAHA edi pano ka ngayon nandito sinong gumawa sayo huuuhhhwaaahhhahahah" Oo merong mga bagay at buhay. Hindi ko alam kung pano nagkaron o kung may gumawa. Pero sigurado ako na hindi totoo ang diyos. Ang bibliya ay gawa lang ng tao pati ang mga diyos. Maniniwala ka kay Magellan na nagdala satin niyan. Dati hindi wala tayong alam sa diyos na yan. Gaya lang din yan ng mga diyos-diyosan na sinamba ng mga ninuno natin. Gaya nga ng sabi ko walang patunay at gawa lang ng mga tao ng mahabang panahon. Kaya kung mapapansin mo kumakalat lang sa pamamagitan ng salita.
I also do not try to convert anyone to atheism as I believe very few have the capacity to grasp the concept. You don't teach someone atheism, he or she has to find it him/herself.
Madali lang maging atheism pre lalo na kapag yung pinanghahawakan mo parang walang magandang ebidensya meron kasi talaga. Lalo na yung Quran ang daming miracles lalo na yung mga history at scientifc fact predicted 1400 years ago mga prophecies. Naging atheism din ako kasi I was born muslim naging atheist ako iniisip ko na wala lang yung diyos pero pag search ko about religion Yung Quran bakit ganun kung gawa gawa lang yun bakit 100% Correct about science and historical fact even prophecies walang mali
imho, it's easier to grasp the concept of atheism than faith / religion. If someone would take a hard look and forget for a moment what theyve been taught all their life. I suspect that for many, it's not that they can't grasp it, just that theyre not ready to sit with the idea and what it would mean for their egos and social identity. Nonetheless, I went through my "atheism" phase & I wouldnt recommend it.
Hangang ngaun confused pa din ako sa dpat paniwalaaan. Pero mahal ko ang pagiging katoliko dati din akong naging sakristan nung teenager pa ako.

If you want a single proof that will prove that God exists..look no further - His people, the Jews. They still exist when all their enemies, great warriors of ancient civilizations, no longer exist. The Roman empire, the Greeks, Egypt, the Philistines... where are they now? Powerful armies have come and go but the Jews remain no matter how many times they have been surrounded by enemies all throughout history-- wanting to annihilate and slaughter them. But the Jews still exist and their military might is in full display for the world to see. The God of Israel is ever faithful. He never abandons His people for He promised to preserve them until the end of days. Here is the speech that will make you think twice before you turn your back on God. Prime Minister Netanyahu Speech The Jews Are Proof that God exist Only 70 years ago! The Jews were taken to slaughter like sheep. 🔵 60 years ago! 🔵 No country. No Army. Seven Arab countries declared war on the small Jewish state, only a few hours after its creation! 🔵 we were 650,000 Jews against the many millions in the Arab world! There was no strong IDF(Israel Defense Forces). No powerful air force to save us but only brave Jewish people with nowhere else to go. 🔵Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia all attacked at the same time. 🔵the country that the United Nations gave us was a 65 % desert. 🔵 35 years ago! We fought the three most Powerful armies in the middle east, and we swept them in six days. We fought against various coalitions of Arab countries, which had modern armies and many Soviet weapons, and we have always beaten them! Today we have: 🔵 a State (Country) 🔵 an Army, 🔵 a Powerful Air Force, 🔵 A State-of-the-Art Economy with exports worth billions of dollars. 🔵 Intel - Microsoft - IBM & many high-tech companies develop cutting edge products in Israel 🔵 our doctors receive awards for medical research. 🔵 we make the desert bloom, and sell oranges, flowers and vegetables all over the world. 🔵 Israel has sent its own satellites into space! 🔵 three satellites at the same time! 🔵 We are proud to be at the same rank as: 🔵 The United States, which has 250 million inhabitants, 🔵 Russia, which has 200 million inhabitants, 🔵 China, which has 1.3 billion inhabitants; 🔵 Europeans - France, Great Britain, Germany - with 350 million inhabitants. 🔵 the only countries in the world to send objects into space! 🔵 and say that only 60 years ago, 🔵 we were led, ashamed and hopeless, to slaughter! 🔵 we have experienced the smoking ruins of Europe, 🔵 we have won our wars here in Israel with less than nothing 🔵 we built our little "Empire" from nothing. Who's Hamas to scare us? 🔴 to terrify us? You make us laugh! 🔴 Passover was celebrated; Let's not forget what Passover is: 🔴 we survived Pharaoh, 🔴 we survived the Greeks, 🔴 we survived the Romans, 🔴 we survived the inquisition in Spain, 🔴 we have the pogroms in Russia, 🔴 we survived Hitler, 🔴 we survived the Germans, 🔴 we survived the Holocaust, 🔴 we survived the armies of seven Arab countries, 🔴 we survived Saddam. 🔴 we will survive the enemies present Think of any time in human history ⚠ Think about it, for us, the Jewish people, 🔷 the situation has never been better! 🔷 then let's face the world, Let us remember: 🔶 all nations, empires or cultures 🔶 who once tried to destroy us, 🔶 no longer exist today - while we still live! 🔶 Egypt? 🔶 Babylon? 🔶 the Greeks? 🔶 Alexander of Macedonia? 🔶 The Romans? (does anyone still speak Latin these days? ) 🔶 The Third Reich? And look at us 🔵 The slaves of Egypt, 🔵 The People of Moses 🔵 The Nation of the Bible, 🔵 We are still here, And Hebrew is still the official language of the State of Israel today: 🚩 from the time of the Bible and now! 🚩 Arabs don't know yet, 🚩 but they will learn that there is a God. 🚩 as long as we keep our identity, we are forever. Some claim our morale is low. 🔵 so what? Only because we mourn our deaths while our enemies rejoice in the blood shed & war. 🔵 that is why we will win, in the end. The God of Israel created the Heaven's and the Earth. The Guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleep! The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Chris, Amerikano ako na marunong mag-Tagalog. Taga-US ako, lumaki ako bilang Mormon. Napakarelihiyoso ko noon-kung tutuusin, marunong ako Mag-Tagalog dahil Mormon Missionary ako dati. Pero ngayon Agnostic-Atheist ako. Mahirap laging ipaliwanag iyan. Lalung lalo bilang isang tao dito sa Pinas. Parang karamihan ay walang konsepto ng posibilidad na walang diyos o Walang buhay pagkatapos nito. I think, and just as I learned about myself growing up, is that we simply accept what we are taught. If we are taught about god, chances are we will just accept it. Lalung lalo pag sa kapaligiran natin it is just understood and accepted na May diyos...relihiyoso or Hindi. I appreciate that people are opening up more about it dito sa Pilipinas. It is not right to just assume that everyone has the same beliefs and to push those beliefs, implicitly or explicitly onto others.
This is why we should develop a thinking or mentality to respect and treat each other with kindness and not base it on any religion. Respect and kindness is the best religion

Sorry to hear about your experiences. There are Catholic communities specifically for our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. You could check Courage Philippines.
Sorry ah pero honest lang ako and based sa experience ko, never nagwork to be in any catholic or christian group then I am gay. Kasi pinopoint out parin mali ang magkaroon ng same sex attraction and it needs healing. For me, there is nothing to heal as to my attraction. Being responsible with my sexuality is enough for me to be a good human being.

For those who are kind of confused on identifying their belief system: Atheism - belief that there is no god Agnosticism - can’t really say there is or there is no god ‘cause you can’t really know for sure. Is not equal to believing in a god but not in religion Deism - belief in a god but not in religion; belief where there’s a god that created the universe but does not believe the supernatural abilities associated with them (e.g. controlling your fate, miraculous healing, etc.)
Actually no. Atheism is the lack of belief in god. Agnosticism is just lack of knowledge in a certain context. The word structure of agnostic has no religion within its context. Hence, agnostic people are still atheists. Agnostic atheist to be precise since those 2 terms are not mutually exclusive. People may argue that Agnostic means god is not knowable. But that also means you are not actively believing in a god, basically you are still an atheist.

Reasons why I became an atheist: 1. Religion used as an agenda: Historically we know that religion is used in favor of some people's agenda whether it's a state, a race and etc. If people have forgotten, then I'd like to remind that most major religions now, didn't spread accidentally, most of it was used by force (remember the colonial times). 2. God as false hope: We always interpret things the way we'd like to see it. Good things happening to you? it's God's blessings. Bad things happening to you? That's just God testing you. We interpret things rather than seeing situations as they are. It's an unfair world and we just have to accept it. 3. Religion diminishes your own personal thinking: If you follow a religion, you should follow everything that's being told upon you, if you don't then you're not 100% of that religion and that you are of another label or sect. Protestantism was birthed from a differing take on Christianity from the Catholic Church. If you believe in a personal God and don't subscribe to a religion, then that's you finding hope in a God in hopeless situations.
Man no.1 is very prevalent especially in our history. Spaniards enforcing Christianity on every single citizen and if they don’t comply they get brutally murdered, tortured , kicked out of their homes and etc I still don’t see why people think Christianity is a gift if it forced down our throats without our consent.
Don't forget how you should give God all the credits even though it's all you. People would try to force me to thanking God for providing myself a roof above my head, but I DID IT all by myself because of my hardwork. If God truly was there, He would've saved me the sweat, blood and tears. It's also unfair. A lot of people suffered from poverty all their life, does that mean God was testing them their entire life? How unfair is that?
I will tell you Bible is credible and its the word of truth. but science in astronomy and evolution discredit it para maging gnostics ka at maging atheists and iba.
@@jamessumaljag5271 Just in case you misinterpreted the concept of Agnosticism, Atheism is different from Agnosticism try to research about it. And nothing in this world will make you a good person, being good depends on a person's perspective. But for me, as long as you are not making anything against the law and you're not stepping on someone, you are a good person. Religions and Beliefs are just factors to make you as who you are. For me, life is about being humane.
This video are really open minded and in professional manner, we don't need to fight on what we believe in and having conflict with other people, and I hope the world would be better like it.

I like the guy, he listens to what she's saying with an open mind cause most people I know doesn't really respect whether someone chose to be an atheist. Most people would force their beliefs on others and would use Bible verses here and there especially on debates (at school). I like the both of them, wish everyone I know has this kind of mindset.
A great conversation between two people of different, yet almost similar perspectives. Please excuse my personal biases with the Catholics; most of them are more understanding, and more open-minded when it comes to another person's thoughts about their faith.
I was born and raised Catholic. Recommitted to my Faith at 27 after a period of time being a pragmatist in the early 20s. Finally understood the difference between Faith and religion with the help of spiritually mature believers, my parents who are theologians, and personal encounter with God. What I can say is that our life is a pilgrimage. It all starts with seeking God, and the more I knew the nature of God, the more I came to trust Him. I finally understood the verse, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Mt. 6:33)". Same thing, if we don't seek God, it's difficult to see Him in our human experience. The gift of Faith is that urge to seek. And for those who believe, we are accountable to live the teachings of our Faith. It is through our life that people can have a sense on the God we worship. If we become disrespectful, it drives them away from knowing God. But if we live truly the teachings of Christ, it will change people's lives as what we have seen from people whose lives have been inspired by saints (people who live genuinely holy lives). That's my two cents. ❤
As a Roman Catholic, I have questions and reservations re our traditions, practices but I still believe there's a powerful One above. Faith is also an experience and it taught me to stay believing.
I have an atheist friends, yet they're so pure, kind, and respectful. I've learned when I'm talking with them and they've learned also while talking to me I think yung nakakasira lang sa samahan talaga is yung pagiisip na may isa na nakakalamang at may alam sa lahat without even trying to understand and respect the other perspectives.
@@everythingnice949 That is the truth.Even well educated atheists changed their mind after having experienced God's presence during NDE [near death experience] while others after having read biblical prophecies, many of which are happening before your very eyes if you would just take time to know more about these current events through the lens of bible prophecies.

you can believe in god without believing in the church, also here in the Philippines the Church of Catholic and INC are both corrupts and always meddle in politics. they always endorse the politician who gave them the biggest donations. Churches always wants MONEY.
@@MrLoverboy6565 FYI the catholic church came From the Lord Jesus Christ .. so if u assume that catholic church is evil , u r anti Christ and false accuser
Kinilabutan ako OMGosh, I am a Christian but not the typical who goes to the church every Sunday, pray every now and then but it made me cry that it's sad to live not knowing there is God above us. I also love the fact that atheist don't consider God at all just because they fell like too.
I think this is disappointing. Questions on their problem with the other's worldview should have been discussed more. They were tiptoeing, afraid of 'offending' the other, which is not genuine honesty at all. I would better appreciate if they actually clashed into an argument while still respecting each other as a human. I think they could do that.
No matter what, most Filipino men would rather 'not' clash with women, not only because we respect them, but its more of a culture. Yup its disappointing, for me too, but theres no more disagreement when they are both open minded about the argument.
But this isn't supposed to be a debate at all. This is, in a way, a getting-to-know-each-other. Mahahalata mo naman iyon sa format at sa mga tanong. Their worldviews literally offend each other, hindi na nila kailangan ng pagtatalo para ma-establish iyon.
Or WHAT it is. It doesn't necessarily have to be a person, or close to human being. That's just another delusion mankind made to lift themselves up to be the highest being or greatest creation, when their "God" created man and likened his image to us. Agnostics would rather call it a higher power.
Quite agnostic but not entirely. Complete agnosticism is basically no belief at all. While theists believe there is a god, atheists ALSO believes there is NO god. Agnostics would not believe in both and say that god or an omnipotent being is not proven nor disproved.
If your into christian apologist try to listen in Cross examined in youtube they let atheist asked them questions about Christianity. And his scientific and philosophical presentation "I dont have enough faith to be an atheist" in their youtube channel . Hope our atheist or agnostic friends will hear our faith in Christ and not base christianity to people that says they are christians but really just Culturally christian and dont even follow Christ teachings.
This is the first time that I'll comment to a RUclips video. What compelled me to do so was the fact that this was such an underrated topic and it takes such bravery to discuss about this. Such is something deemed polarizing by many and it is commendable of Rec•Create to make a healthy discussion about it, given the fact that this may cause uproar. Ang husay lang na they can make something deemed controversial relatable to people. Kudos, Rec•Create! Sana marami pang ganitong types of videos.
People cannot simply discuss this on national tv, maybe bottomline or other tv docs can show this kind of topic but not all. They are binded to what popularity dictates. Here in youtube they cannot easily control as it goes "beyond". No moratorium kumbaga hehe..
Coming out as an atheist in the Philippines is almost unheard of. Filipinos are very religious people, but it bothers me that most people think that having no religion means I worship the devil or I'm just going through a bad time in my life.
Having no religion is an option. I respect other people's belief, but why can't they respect mine? It's very frustrating.
Not being a theist cannot be an option when a god is observed and proven to be real.
Theists claim a god or gods are real, theists need to present their gods as proof because we do not observe gods existing on multiple occasions... in fact, on none.
Totoo.
I told a lady who was trying to get me to attend their church that I do not have a religion and do not intend to join any and she said, "It's okay. God loves everyone including you."
They don't understand. 😁
because religious people can be the most judgmental people on the planet. whenever you go against the status quo, they will attack you.
they're only good Catholics/Christians whenever its convenient for them... for example:
a lot of Religious nut jobs oppose same sex marriage saying its against God's law.... but then turn around and cheat on their wives with other women (which is also against God's law)
most religious folks are hypocrites.
Im sorry to hear that, first of all they as an adult shouldn't be like that and judge people like that.
"You don’t need religion to have morals. If you can’t determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion."

I rather have a morality that came from SECULAR MORAL PHILOSOPHY and RATIONAL DISCUSSION. Thought-out, reasoned, argued, discussed.
@@yumikikyu6027 Hi Yumi! Here are my reasons why I believe there is a God; 1.because there is order and design in our universe. 2.There is objective morality. 3. Jesus and His Church. Now, I know there are a lot of "gods" but I'm a Catholic so I believe in the Holy Trinity.
According to Pope Francis himself "It is better to be an Atheist rather than a devoted Catholic who judges people who not believe in God." An open conversation with an open mind and having respect. The world will be a better place.
even catholic is wrong too they added, lessen and reversed the teachings in in Bible.

Atheists are right that they are the product of mindless unguided natural processes, then they have given a strong reason to doubt the reliability of human cognitive faculties. And therefore inevitably to doubt the validity of any belief that they produce including their atheism. And their beliefs in naturalism would therefore appear to be at war with each other, in a conflict that is nothing to do with “God”
That's true, but no one's perfect you know what I mean?

Being an atheist is the same as being gay in the Philippines. It is very hard to come out especially to your parents who are devoted.
My mom is religious but when I asked her what is the core reason god created human. She never tried to persuade me to attend church ever again.

The hard thing being an atheist and living with Catholic parents is that they make religion a chore.
Sorry to hear about that, when religion becomes just a chore that is imposed on people, then it loses its real essence. :(
Im an atheist, but i dont mind going to church since it still means a lot for my mother. I used to see it as a chore, but then i just used mass time for more constructive things like:
- planning what to do for work this coming week
- remembering what needs to be bought, paid etc.
- listen to the priest. I treat this more like "story time"
- admire architecture, if im in a church ive never been to before
- or make faces at the kid who just stares at you

And throughout the ages, kings, queens, political and religious leaders tried to annihilate them...do you think they could survive as a people?
Could they become a nation again and become a powerful force in the region shortly after they reestablish themselves in the land of their forefathers? And as they tried to rebuild their tiny country, they have to survive the attacks of the neighboring nations that have more well-established armies?
Considering they are a small country, with no army at that time, as small as New Jersey with the land mostly dessert, surrounded by enemies who attack them from all sides

Lalo na yung Quran ang daming miracles lalo na yung mga history at scientifc fact predicted 1400 years ago mga prophecies. Naging atheism din ako kasi I was born muslim naging atheist ako iniisip ko na wala lang yung diyos pero pag search ko about religion Yung Quran bakit ganun kung gawa gawa lang yun bakit 100% Correct about science and historical fact even prophecies walang mali
imho, it's easier to grasp the concept of atheism than faith / religion. If someone would take a hard look and forget for a moment what theyve been taught all their life. I suspect that for many, it's not that they can't grasp it, just that theyre not ready to sit with the idea and what it would mean for their egos and social identity.
Nonetheless, I went through my "atheism" phase & I wouldnt recommend it.
Hangang ngaun confused pa din ako sa dpat paniwalaaan. Pero mahal ko ang pagiging katoliko dati din akong naging sakristan nung teenager pa ako.

@@gaahagahaklanab8640 Yeah we need evidences pero wala talaga lalo na yung gospel talaga ni Jesus. Jesus language is Aramaic then yung bible niya is dapat Aramaic kaso wala kang makikitang Aramaic na bible ngayon. Greek ata yung earliest Gospel.
@@gaahagahaklanab8640 siguro kahit na anong religion pa yan may good arguments against..pero you have the power to embody the good things they instilled in you; ika nga nila dont focus on being a Catholic or Christian. The question is are you Christ-like? Are u a Muslim or are you Mohammed-like in your ways? Tendency kasi these days, people are too polarized. We either follow blindly or throw the baby with the bathwater. Think about this: 'Thou shall not kill' is a good commandment to live by regardless if priests molest children or not. Listen to your soul. Good luck!
i'm a catholic teenager 16M . i really appreciate this conversation. I still have a lot to discover about my faith, and it's a good journey as long as we have good intentions for one another even if we have different beliefs. I believe that God wants us to be good for each other generally.

If you want a single proof that will prove that God exists..look no further - His people, the Jews. They still exist when all their enemies, great warriors of ancient civilizations, no longer exist. The Roman empire, the Greeks, Egypt, the Philistines... where are they now? Powerful armies have come and go but the Jews remain no matter how many times they have been surrounded by enemies all throughout history-- wanting to annihilate and slaughter them. But the Jews still exist and their military might is in full display for the world to see. The God of Israel is ever faithful. He never abandons His people for He promised to preserve them until the end of days. Here is the speech that will make you think twice before you turn your back on God.
Prime Minister Netanyahu Speech
The Jews Are Proof that God exist
Only 70 years ago! The Jews were taken to slaughter like sheep.
🔵 60 years ago!
🔵 No country. No Army.
Seven Arab countries declared war on the small Jewish state, only a few hours after its creation!
🔵 we were 650,000 Jews against the many millions in the Arab world!
There was no strong IDF(Israel Defense Forces).
No powerful air force to save us but only brave Jewish people with nowhere else to go.
🔵Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia all attacked at the same time.
🔵the country that the United Nations gave us was a 65 % desert.
🔵 35 years ago! We fought the three most Powerful armies in the middle east, and we swept them in six days.
We fought against various coalitions of Arab countries, which had modern armies and many Soviet weapons, and we have always beaten them!
Today we have:
🔵 a State (Country)
🔵 an Army,
🔵 a Powerful Air Force,
🔵 A State-of-the-Art Economy with exports worth billions of dollars.
🔵 Intel - Microsoft - IBM & many high-tech companies develop cutting edge products in Israel
🔵 our doctors receive awards for medical research.
🔵 we make the desert bloom, and sell oranges, flowers and vegetables all over the world.
🔵 Israel has sent its own satellites into space!
🔵 three satellites at the same time!
🔵 We are proud to be at the same rank as:
🔵 The United States, which has 250 million inhabitants,
🔵 Russia, which has 200 million inhabitants,
🔵 China, which has 1.3 billion inhabitants;
🔵 Europeans - France, Great Britain, Germany - with 350 million inhabitants.
🔵 the only countries in the world to send objects into space!
🔵 and say that only 60 years ago,
🔵 we were led, ashamed and hopeless, to slaughter!
🔵 we have experienced the smoking ruins of Europe,
🔵 we have won our wars here in Israel with less than nothing
🔵 we built our little "Empire" from nothing.
Who's Hamas to scare us?
🔴 to terrify us?
You make us laugh!
🔴 Passover was celebrated;
Let's not forget what Passover is:
🔴 we survived Pharaoh,
🔴 we survived the Greeks,
🔴 we survived the Romans,
🔴 we survived the inquisition in Spain,
🔴 we have the pogroms in Russia,
🔴 we survived Hitler,
🔴 we survived the Germans,
🔴 we survived the Holocaust,
🔴 we survived the armies of seven Arab countries,
🔴 we survived Saddam.
🔴 we will survive the enemies present
Think of any time in human history ⚠
Think about it, for us, the Jewish people,
🔷 the situation has never been better!
🔷 then let's face the world,
Let us remember:
🔶 all nations, empires or cultures
🔶 who once tried to destroy us,
🔶 no longer exist today - while we still live!
🔶 Egypt?
🔶 Babylon?
🔶 the Greeks?
🔶 Alexander of Macedonia?
🔶 The Romans? (does anyone still speak Latin these days? )
🔶 The Third Reich?
And look at us
🔵 The slaves of Egypt,
🔵 The People of Moses
🔵 The Nation of the Bible,
🔵 We are still here,
And Hebrew is still the official language of the State of Israel today:
🚩 from the time of the Bible and now!
🚩 Arabs don't know yet,
🚩 but they will learn that there is a God.
🚩 as long as we keep our identity, we are forever.
Some claim our morale is low.
🔵 so what?
Only because we mourn our deaths while our enemies rejoice in the blood shed & war.
🔵 that is why we will win, in the end.
The God of Israel created the Heaven's and the Earth.
The Guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleep! The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
like in japan they dont really bother about religion. but they are not against religion..
Chris, Amerikano ako na marunong mag-Tagalog. Taga-US ako, lumaki ako bilang Mormon. Napakarelihiyoso ko noon-kung tutuusin, marunong ako Mag-Tagalog dahil Mormon Missionary ako dati. Pero ngayon Agnostic-Atheist ako. Mahirap laging ipaliwanag iyan. Lalung lalo bilang isang tao dito sa Pinas. Parang karamihan ay walang konsepto ng posibilidad na walang diyos o Walang buhay pagkatapos nito. I think, and just as I learned about myself growing up, is that we simply accept what we are taught. If we are taught about god, chances are we will just accept it. Lalung lalo pag sa kapaligiran natin it is just understood and accepted na May diyos...relihiyoso or Hindi.
I appreciate that people are opening up more about it dito sa Pilipinas. It is not right to just assume that everyone has the same beliefs and to push those beliefs, implicitly or explicitly onto others.

Sorry ah pero honest lang ako and based sa experience ko, never nagwork to be in any catholic or christian group then I am gay. Kasi pinopoint out parin mali ang magkaroon ng same sex attraction and it needs healing. For me, there is nothing to heal as to my attraction. Being responsible with my sexuality is enough for me to be a good human being.
Art Caliwag I beg God to cure my homosexuality with all my heart believing that it’s against his creation. I hated myself for a long time until I get tired praying, nothing really happens so I accepted who I really am and guess what, there is no God.

Religion = Culture
Faith = Relationship

I agree. Being religous doesn't mean you have a relationship with God..
Loving Him with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your strength, loving your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.
I was once an atheist like her and I can relate to a lot of what she feels about God. Although, now that I have found my way in Paganism and found my spiritual calling, I still wouldn't trade my experience in atheism because it has opened my mind to more than just one God and the bible.
Also, she's a lovely lady as far as I can tell so don't judge her 😊, she never raised her voice in this video so unlike many Christians I have talked to as an atheist, lovely lady indeed 😌

I was an atheist because I hated that toxic mindset religion enforces, and when I found paganism I learned that it is full of people who are not judgmental and just want a community for people who are different.

Now, this is a mature conversation.
I was raised as Catholic, but had a real personal relationship with our Lord Jesus at the age of 27. It’s not about a religion but a relationship with God. Let us start in what is common-love. 🥺💕
Only comment I'm finding💙
Religion - by definition IS "a relationship with god".
LoL a typical protestan, born again mindset bruh
Raised as Catholic but never knew its teaching and faith right? Btw personal relationship cannot be found in any pages of the Bible but Religion can. Catholic religion is the only christian religion that exists for the first 1500 years . until marthin luther, a Catholic monk who broke up with the Catholic church started building his own church and began to devide the Christianity. Now which one would you rather be? to a Christ founded Church or a Manmade church?
The moment you believed in Jesus Christ, you're already following christianity which is a religion.
This is actually a decent episode. I love the discussion between these two understanding human beings. I want more of these episodes.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES BEFORE YOU DIVE DEEP INTO THE COMMENT SECTION
hahahahaha😂😂
And Gorilla Glass Goggles so that it will not easily damaged.
Best conversation between A Catholic and an atheist. You two are admirable. One believes in God, the other believes in herself.
For those who are kind of confused on identifying their belief system:
Atheism - belief that there is no god
Agnosticism - can’t really say there is or there is no god ‘cause you can’t really know for sure. Is not equal to believing in a god but not in religion
Deism - belief in a god but not in religion; belief where there’s a god that created the universe but does not believe the supernatural abilities associated with them (e.g. controlling your fate, miraculous healing, etc.)
Actually no.
Atheism is the lack of belief in god.
Agnosticism is just lack of knowledge in a certain context. The word structure of agnostic has no religion within its context. Hence, agnostic people are still atheists. Agnostic atheist to be precise since those 2 terms are not mutually exclusive.
People may argue that Agnostic means god is not knowable. But that also means you are not actively believing in a god, basically you are still an atheist.
add panentheism, and pantheism
@@thomasmorato5098 Well said.
Yeah In Deism there is one flaw which that they have no choice to accept divine Providence.

Curious. How do you picture your god and to which religion would you find your lifestyle more leaning/closer to?
Monotheism is the belief that there is only one God.

Thank you Rec.create, you’re so good at putting a perfect people to a specific argument👏👏👏
I agree💯
it was barely an argument though, but kudos for putting these people in the same room.
I'm a seminarian studying theology right now. I see this video very mind-opening. The last words especially about grounding everything on Human relationships and love really got me. I guess we can all start with that. Never force your belief on someone. Nice Job RecCreate.
No, Jesus never told us to force our belief on anyone..but we are comamanded to share God's words with others. Maybe the next time you talk to an atheist...you can ask them this.. Can a people become a nation again after having been dispersed in different parts of the world for more than two thousand years? And in the countries where they were exiled, they were the minority and were heavily persecuted. They were not allowed to secure jobs and were often expelled from their lands..
And throughout the ages, kings, queens, political and religious leaders tried to annihilate them...do you think they could survive as a people?
Could they become a nation again and become a powerful force in the region shortly after they reestablish themselves in the land of their forefathers? And as they tried to rebuild their tiny country, they have to survive the attacks of the neighboring nations that have more well-established armies?
Considering they are a small country, with no army at that time, as small as New Jersey with the land mostly dessert, surrounded by enemies who attack them from all sides
--- and with hardly any natural resources that even Mark Twain in his diary said that even a cactus was having a hard time to grow in this arid, bone dry and dessicated land ? Will they survive? What do you think?
i like this girl. our thoughts is exactly the same.
are*
I love how they showed respect to each other, and only giving their own opinions
Reasons why I became an atheist:
1. Religion used as an agenda: Historically we know that religion is used in favor of some people's agenda whether it's a state, a race and etc. If people have forgotten, then I'd like to remind that most major religions now, didn't spread accidentally, most of it was used by force (remember the colonial times).
2. God as false hope: We always interpret things the way we'd like to see it. Good things happening to you? it's God's blessings. Bad things happening to you? That's just God testing you. We interpret things rather than seeing situations as they are. It's an unfair world and we just have to accept it.
3. Religion diminishes your own personal thinking: If you follow a religion, you should follow everything that's being told upon you, if you don't then you're not 100% of that religion and that you are of another label or sect. Protestantism was birthed from a differing take on Christianity from the Catholic Church. If you believe in a personal God and don't subscribe to a religion, then that's you finding hope in a God in hopeless situations.
Exactly! That's why I am proud to have no religion. Call me a devil. IDGAF
I love to #QuestionEverything. I am always curious. I don't stop learning. That's why I am now free from having a religion.
Man no.1 is very prevalent especially in our history. Spaniards enforcing Christianity on every single citizen and if they don’t comply they get brutally murdered, tortured , kicked out of their homes and etc I still don’t see why people think Christianity is a gift if it forced down our throats without our consent.
Don't forget how you should give God all the credits even though it's all you. People would try to force me to thanking God for providing myself a roof above my head, but I DID IT all by myself because of my hardwork. If God truly was there, He would've saved me the sweat, blood and tears.
It's also unfair. A lot of people suffered from poverty all their life, does that mean God was testing them their entire life? How unfair is that?
did you read a whole bible?
I'm a Christian and i was an atheist, and i respect them.

@@jamessumaljag5271 Just in case you misinterpreted the concept of Agnosticism, Atheism is different from Agnosticism try to research about it. And nothing in this world will make you a good person, being good depends on a person's perspective.

For me, life is about being humane.
This video are really open minded and in professional manner, we don't need to fight on what we believe in and having conflict with other people, and I hope the world would be better like it.
I love how they are so calm, open-minded, and respectful. I like the guy, he listens to what she's saying with an open mind cause most people I know doesn't really respect whether someone chose to be an atheist. Most people would force their beliefs on others and would use Bible verses here and there especially on debates (at school). I like the both of them, wish everyone I know has this kind of mindset.
A great conversation between two people of different, yet almost similar perspectives. Please excuse my personal biases with the Catholics; most of them are more understanding, and more open-minded when it comes to another person's thoughts about their faith.
Definitely ♥️
2020 is the Church's year of dialogue. Let us pray for more people who would be willing to have honest conversations like this. :)
I was born and raised Catholic. Recommitted to my Faith at 27 after a period of time being a pragmatist in the early 20s. Finally understood the difference between Faith and religion with the help of spiritually mature believers, my parents who are theologians, and personal encounter with God.
What I can say is that our life is a pilgrimage. It all starts with seeking God, and the more I knew the nature of God, the more I came to trust Him.
I finally understood the verse, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Mt. 6:33)".
Same thing, if we don't seek God, it's difficult to see Him in our human experience. The gift of Faith is that urge to seek. And for those who believe, we are accountable to live the teachings of our Faith. It is through our life that people can have a sense on the God we worship. If we become disrespectful, it drives them away from knowing God. But if we live truly the teachings of Christ, it will change people's lives as what we have seen from people whose lives have been inspired by saints (people who live genuinely holy lives).
That's my two cents. ❤
Our beliefs don't make us better people. Our actions make us better people.
there you go, that is.
Definitely, that's why we need religion and most importantly God, to guide us to become better people
As a Roman Catholic, I have questions and reservations re our traditions, practices but I still believe there's a powerful One above. Faith is also an experience and it taught me to stay believing.

I think this is disappointing. Questions on their problem with the other's worldview should have been discussed more. They were tiptoeing, afraid of 'offending' the other, which is not genuine honesty at all. I would better appreciate if they actually clashed into an argument while still respecting each other as a human. I think they could do that.
No matter what, most Filipino men would rather 'not' clash with women, not only because we respect them, but its more of a culture. Yup its disappointing, for me too, but theres no more disagreement when they are both open minded about the argument.
But this isn't supposed to be a debate at all. This is, in a way, a getting-to-know-each-other. Mahahalata mo naman iyon sa format at sa mga tanong. Their worldviews literally offend each other, hindi na nila kailangan ng pagtatalo para ma-establish iyon.
i agree
@@CJ-sg5bw which is disgusting, it’s infantilizing women.
@@augustushernaez117 what?
I'm an Agnostic. I believe there's a creator but we don't know who it is?
Or WHAT it is. It doesn't necessarily have to be a person, or close to human being. That's just another delusion mankind made to lift themselves up to be the highest being or greatest creation, when their "God" created man and likened his image to us.
Agnostics would rather call it a higher power.
then you're not agnostic :) you're prob a deist
you're a agnostic theist then
@@angelaalmonte3449 it's agnosticism. Believing in a higher power however not subscribing to any existing religion
Quite agnostic but not entirely. Complete agnosticism is basically no belief at all. While theists believe there is a god, atheists ALSO believes there is NO god. Agnostics would not believe in both and say that god or an omnipotent being is not proven nor disproved.
i love how they're not arguing and are just genuinely trying to understand each other's beliefs and respecting them too
This is perfect for The Year of Ecumenism, Inter-religious Dialogue, and Indigenous People.
Cradle Catholic here and found the fullness of Christ now.
These videos help grow my faith one day at a time.Praying for you; brothers & sisters.
If your into christian apologist try to listen in Cross examined in youtube they let atheist asked them questions about Christianity. And his scientific and philosophical presentation "I dont have enough faith to be an atheist" in their youtube channel . Hope our atheist or agnostic friends will hear our faith in Christ and not base christianity to people that says they are christians but really just Culturally christian and dont even follow Christ teachings.
This is the first time that I'll comment to a RUclips video. What compelled me to do so was the fact that this was such an underrated topic and it takes such bravery to discuss about this. Such is something deemed polarizing by many and it is commendable of Rec•Create to make a healthy discussion about it, given the fact that this may cause uproar. Ang husay lang na they can make something deemed controversial relatable to people. Kudos, Rec•Create! Sana marami pang ganitong types of videos.
People cannot simply discuss this on national tv, maybe bottomline or other tv docs can show this kind of topic but not all. They are binded to what popularity dictates.
Here in youtube they cannot easily control as it goes "beyond". No moratorium kumbaga hehe..
"you need to care more about the person, less about their belief"
Ang ganda ng conversation na ito sobrang open-minded nilang dalawa. ♥️
"Atheism is a positive affirmation of a man's ability to think for himself, to do for himself and to find answers in his own problems"
"...You need to care more about the person and less more about their beliefs." ❤
