If a god will reject you for not being a a grovling sickaphant or having different believes based on evidence. What kind of mentally does that god have?
You can't claim the bible is true unless you say its all true, and some parts are evil.
Excellent debate. I can't understand how anybody would want to continue to believe in anything based on faith after listening to this brilliant discussion on it. Good Job! And, oh, Happy Winter Solstice to all of my free thinking friends all over the world!
eh, looking at this un-biasedly 1-2 yrs later it kinda is a little clearer. what they're saying.
but Matt is aboslutely irrelevant. your talking about faith being silly, yet you lost it, makes me think if you can lose something as "gullible" as that, what else can sway your beliefs?? i.e. your a crew hop XD
in general i get it. Critical thinking and anaylsis. still, them propogating that religious people dont do that because of their belief system is very dismissable, and childish.
That is a lot of shit for any human to have to go through, especially in the first 15 years of your life. While I have had my share of shit, my fother dying when i was 18, my mother getting Alzheimer's, being unemployeed and selling stuff just to have money to eat... mine has been spread out over 3 times your life span. You have learned quickly something that I needed 40+ years to realize. "god" is a fuckin' joke. You are the only one who gets you out of the pit.
There is NO proof of "god". "god" is a wish fulfillment; if we want it bad enough the magic sky fairy will give it to us. "god" does nothing in the world to alleviate suffering, cure disease or repair damage to the body. "god" is a trick of the mind to make us believe that some outside force is telling us to do the things we know deep in our own hearts is the right thing to do.
The evidence of God's existence is clear. We have a body, a mind and a soul. We didn't get this just by accident. God is real and He does speak. He has spoken to me on a few occasions. I literally heard His voice. The bible says His sheep hear His voice. His voice is very powerful; the only way to describe it is that it is a vibration you feel as well as hear and then you feel completely exhausted afterwords. If He hadn't of spoken to me in 1994, I would have died in an auto accident.
Faith is professing continued acceptance of things not confirmed by verifiable evidence or even when here is considerable evidence against it. What could be more irrational and self-deluding?
I appreciate and admire the simplicity and the friendlyness of these guys. They are't "against" something, they in fact aren't atheist (where they would be 100% sure there IS NO god or Divinity as such)
They are agnostic and they say it. - it means they are like "I won't believe until I see proof" which means they are open to new ideas if there is evidence
@stimpson65 second one where they debunk NDE - they give no sources - I can say that too, that I saw something somewhere without telling any source, simply inventing all.
Suprisingly I got completely different results from other studies on NDE, where people could actually hear what others were talking in other rooms, while in the NDE.
@skydragon4ever Correct. They do not give sources. You are seeing clips of a TV show. One with limited time so they don't always have the time to go in to detail.
That said, do you have any reason to assume that NDE's are anything but the result of a malfunctioning brain that is superimposing learned imagery and concepts as a result of unstable cognitive function?
Any real evidence? What are your responses to the actual objections they raise?
@stimpson65 Yes, my mother has undergone NDE while in coma, she like the others saw a white light and was drawn into it. Then she was in a place of total bliss and happyness. There, she was shown her life in a movie strip, and was given a choice - to come back or to stay there. They showed her what would happen if she stayed (her kids would be wrong, would lose theur ways) and if she came back to earth (which she did)
Now she is fine, but her experience changed everyone around including her.
@stimpson65 Then, I had undoergone past life regression therapy and discovered things about myself that I couldn't possibly know without. I found out who is my soulmate (from my past lives), that I know her already, which gave me the courage to ask her out, and to my surprise she agreed right away.
Plus, all those people who underwent these therapy have actually found their past life families knowing incredible facts about their past selves, their past families accepted them as their dead self.
By source I mean actual study where authors, fundings and sponsors are cited (there are peopel in whos interest it is to debunk NDE)
I don't want to fight anyone or argue, I am just a truth seeker with an open mind.
I never believed in the Bible god, or those religious fanatics, and I don't now eather. I base on my own experience and facts. The real "god" is the energy that surrounds everything out of wich everything is created. Hard to explain in terms of a physical world...
@skydragon4ever That was a long response. What did it really say?
Coma = malfunctioning brain =... well, you probably see where this is going.
Past life regression "therapy"? You're serious aren't you? You honestly have no other explanation for your experience? Or are you simply choosing the one that makes you feel good?
Shy, the brain is a complex and very fallible thinking machine. It is prone to hallucinations and self-generated, even self-reinforcing, imagery under certain circumstances.
Those who do not want poeple to be conscious, to remain unconscious. and in control
It's those who want to mentain the theory of evolution, keep people into the TV, and bring more people into the fake religion. (Plugged ito the "matrix" if you will)
The ruling families, Illuminati, The banker cortels.... you call them the way you want, it won't change the role they have...
The moment I saw "maintain the theory of evolution" (it doesn't need "maintenance", evolution is a fact) and "Illuminati", all your credibility went right out the window.
A piece of video you should probably see (but I doubt be able to grasp) are these (two parts):
how do you know it's a fact, because of the so-called "proof"? There is a lot of fabricated evidence in the scientific community. It works in a way that when something doesn't fit the theory, it is rejected.
There were giant skeletons found in some places allover the world (what is curious is that the bible talks about it too) - and these skeletons were hidden away or destroyed to mentain the so-called "truth"
There were no negroid race when the so-called "human race" started.
Who pulls the strings of the president who is mere a puppet?
Or do you know how the financial system of the world works? What drives human behavior? How do certain factors react upon human mind? Conspiracy, control thirst, call it the way you want, and I don't really care what's their name as long as I know that they planned and ruled out 9/11 to invade iraq for a very profitable war.
Every subject I abord I have carefully studied and am dead serious of all.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
We are due for moving to a higher consciousness plane. The same way the suffering of gazelles killed by lions make the species stronger, the suffering of mankind will help us move to the next consciousness level. A greater good comes for the species. The next level is the rejection of greed, materialism and selfishness. Our current capitalist system need to collapse in order to achieve this. If you are not ready spiritually, you'll suffer. This is happening now, be ready. God Bless.
Jeff @ 2.20 - a picture of the atheist reaction to faith if ever there was one.
"The Bible mentions scientific facts that weren't widely known at the time." So did Einstein's paper of 1905, does that mean he was divinely inspired?
"There's prohpecy..."
How do we know those prophecies came true? Oh, that's right - the Bible (and ONLY the Bible) says they did. Also, Biblical predictions aren't specific enough to be called prophecies (and the one about Israel got the timing WAY wrong).
I have lost my faith. life put me through all this bullshit and I've asked for help plenty of times. I dont sin almost at all and yet look where i am... dont have a father, my moms practically dead to me because of cocaine addiction, hurricane irene blew the shit out of our house, and quite frankly im hungry as fuck right now and i dont have no money. im only 15 so dont tell me to get a job. just sayin I lost everything, faith included. faith is just something to help cope, it doesn't work.
@MrTank116 Life throws all kinds of shit at you but you need to look to other people - real people, not imaginary ones - for help. And remember that the shit is NOT your fault.
@MrTank116 i feel the same way, we have alot of things in common but yours is more extreme i never see my father i dont talk to my mother because the multple addictions no i havent lost a house but i move and change schools atleast once a year im 15 have no food in house right now besides some greenbeans and some oodles and noodles (but i eat them becuase i would rather eat 10 decent meals then 1 good meal) i was christian out of fear because i was a kid, also christianity is a drug only worse
@gondorfyen111 i live at my friends house now. same lol except i dont have greenbeans -_- cheap ass kidney beans from the damn dollar store. and oodles and noodles are pretty damn good xD. i am fortunate enough to walk by my friends house on my way to school and pick up some english muffins tho ;) those are great! and i couldnt agree more about christianity... just another "feel better" comforting thought instilled into us as children, because people before us couldnt understand the unexplained.
@MrTank116 I'm very sorry for your situation. Don't become a cynic. Use your struggles to become a stronger person. You'll make it. You don't need faith to become a strong and good human being.
@MrTank116 What bothers me about this is you are hungry as fuck, yet you have a computer/internet access. Use that to your advantage and find a way to get help/eat/whatever.
@Getlowend1812 haha thats funny you say that :p i was thinking the same way, if i could contact relatives... but the closest one that lives near us is in nevada! lol. other than that i wouldnt know what to do. im good now though for most part :) read the other comments ive posted on this video, thats basically how it is now. thank you for your input though :D
@MrTank116 Of course. The thing that saddens me the most is people who just give up, lay down, and die. You have copious amounts of resources at your disposal to survive. Survival does not mean iPods and Computers and fancy clothes. Thats not the point of life. Glad you're doing better now. Cheers.
@Callirgos1 i am! doing better now! :D back in school, ap and honor classes, and already getting college credit as a sophomore. i have my life planned out ahead of me. this was only a minor speed bump ;)
@MrTank116 Think of this, you didn't "lose" your faith, you recovered from it. Much as an addicted person recovers from their nightmare of a drug hell. Something i hope your mom will be able to do.
I am sorry for your troubles, but there are places that can help. For your own safety and future well-being, please seek out someplace in your area that will help you.
@PhuqueUTube3 definitely a good way to look at it :) and my mom is trying, i'll give her that but idk if im ready to accept her yet :/ . Ive gone to friends for help and were pretty steady now so thanks for the concern :)
@MrTank116 I forgot to mention the kidney stone, though. It wasn't nearly as bad being small. It just felt weird as it traveled into the urinal. Heh Heh
@MrTank116 Don't become cynical, become critical. Value evidence and reason above faith and you can't go wrong. I know where you are coming from, it will get better.
@MrTank116 nice kid, im at your age when i begun to realize the stupidity of religion, by reading the bible beginning with adam and eve and the talking snake
@breakinthebend What is your problem bro? seems like your just trolling me to make yourself feel better lol. I know im not the only one with problems, i dont have a problem with that... in fact its helped me to talk to others with problems. Ive toughened up. Have you? Ive got more to be worried about in real life than to be fighting with a retard on YOUTUBE lol have a good day. Do yourself a favor and do something for yourself today. Trust me you will feel better :)
This was, in my opinion, the greatest Matt Dillahunty rant I've ever seen and it's a perfect example of why I love him so much as a representative of atheism. There's something so profound about watching someone like Matt pouring every bit of passion he has for this subject and not missing a beat the entire time. It was as though someone told him he'd die tomorrow. Gives me chills.
These two gentlemen are true Philosophers. Lovers and seekers of wisdom. They might even hope that some day someone will actually call in with real evidence of a god and or a soul. They tirelessly listen to feeble arguments that hold no validity. They understand dialectical interchange. "Belief is ever it's own tempter to believe differently". ~ A.O.S.. Meditate on that quote. Belief (faith) is not Knowing. It partakes of the realm of Not-Knowing.
@jeadte "These two gentlemen are true Philosophers."
Of what Degree? the one guy on the left looks like he's sat on his face all his life or just woke up from a truck wreck, and the other guy is better fit as a Mortician or Grave Digger. What? Two on One? Cause it takes both of them just to keep up with their obviously rehearsed BS. To sit there acting like their some sort arrogant T.V. personalities wishing for their 15 min's of fame will always be non existent.
As the saying goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted", like wise, so is the existence of the fool.
They live their lives feeling as if it will soon end, without God for their own fleshly desires/lustful pleasures, forfeiting the dowry and inheritance of what God has promised to those who do his will.
Same sex homosexuality is completely un-natural, physically (and scientifically). All one needs do is compare the genitalia of both sexes and their functions. I call it a mental disease.
@Acecool444 Did you just say do gods will? What the fuck are we his servants? If your god is all powerful what does he need humans to do his will for?
@KingWithoutaCause "Did you just say do gods will? What the fuck are we his servants?"
If you're that set on thinking God is somehow below you, or that God says to kill or keep slaves, and can't comprehend the old testament laws for that time period before a savior, then all I can say is, You are far more deluded than I thought. You lack the fundamentals of understanding the bible (the word of God). Period!
@Acecool444 You do realize that slavery is in the NEW TESTAMENT? Lol. YOU don't even know your own Bible. Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT) Lol. It's funny how you can try to speak on something you know nothing about and then try to tell me I don't understand it. Lol.
@KingWithoutaCause "You do realize that slavery is in the NEW TESTAMENT?"
Yes, I do, but you still fail to understand. Slaves were either prisoners of war or owed money they couldn't repay. The latter were released once their debt was paid. Hardly proves that God condones slavery, just because you wanted free help.
@Acecool444 Lol. So now you're saying it's OK to enslave those who lost a war or are in debt? Wow. This is what religion does to peoples morals. Actually IT DOES. Jesus literally talks about how you can buy slaves and which ones you can buy and so on. How does that not mean he condones slavery? And according to Christianity he was the son of god.
@KingWithouta "Lol. So now you're saying it's OK to enslave those who lost a war or are in debt?
Cause Excuse me Father, for I am about to sin, but feel so led to let this fool know, that he is a bona fide idiot. May I say that Father? Then I recant my statement, and say, this fool is the smartest fool I know!
(you can take that as a compliment my smart schooled and yet so smart fellow)
How can you not believe in God, when you show absolutely no evidence of intelligence?
@Acecool444 Lol. You didn't even respond to the statement. You simply tried to speak on my intelligence. You just agreed with slavery and you're calling me an "idiot". Plus you're talking to an imaginary being. How can you believe when you have absolutely no proof? I'm guessing you were raised Christian.
"Why would a loving god allow genetic defects or disease? Sterility, Cystic Fibrosis, Cancer, Alzheimer's, Down Syndrome, Parkinson's, and every other type disease or birth defect?
Mankind causes his own demise! through Man Made Chemicals and Products Polluting "OUR" atmosphere, land and water, Carcinogenics, Hormones, Pharmaceutical, Drug, Alcohol, Tobacco abuse, Fluoridation Poisoning, Poor Diet/Vitamin Deficiency, Gluttony, Sexual Transmitted Disease (many partners, animals etc), etc, etc,.
Have any of you ever contemplated that "Neanderthal Man" could be evidence of God's curse on "Cain"? To be set apart and marked to keep others from killing him? Neanderthal was quite capable of surviving as a lone hunter (restless wanderer on the earth. Gen. 4:10-12). Cain was also afraid of being killed by others (physical appearance?) and conceived children. Things to consider.
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science (knowledge) falsely so called: 1 Timothy 6:20
Scientists do not agree as to the age of the earth. Many say it is thousands of years old, some millions, others billions or even trillions of years old. One conclusion is certain, they all agree it is very, very old. God Does not state when he created the earth or the angels. He does not state the time when his judgment left the earth in the chaotic condition (READ Genesis 1:2). God does not state how long it remained in that condition (formless & void) before he remodeled it for man in 6 days.
When the two guys in the video ask if Christians believe the world is 6-10 thousand yrs old, the bible says, "One day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a Day" 2 Peter 3:8
That said, To God, what may seem like a Thousand yrs to us, is one day to God. The text says ‘one day is like [or as] a thousand years’—the word ‘like’ (or ‘as’) shows that it is a figure of speech, called a simile, to teach that God is outside of time (because He is the Creator of time itself).
Takes as much if not more faith and gullibility to believe in the theory of evolution. Much like pieces of a puzzle, with missing pieces with no beginning (first living cell? mass? infinite universe? to evolve from what?), with not a shred of evidence of the transition into man.
Furthermore, If you can't prove there is no God, Creator or Designer, why waste your lives denouncing it? Only a fool would be so presumptuous.
Rhetorical statement, to open the doors to "CRITICAL THINKING".
To believe in those who refute or blaspheme God, when there is absolutely not one shred of evidence to prove God does not exist, but a world of evidence that tells us a heavenly creator does in fact exist is illogical. To waste your lives arguing over this, is a fools lament.
Karmic Existentialism: What So Ever A Man Soweth, That Shall He Also Reap! "What Goes Around Comes Around", It's all just a matter of time. Wait for the end, you're damned already! You can not deny truth nor God's wisdom.
I'm an agnostic, so bear with me. If you really want to get Jesus out of society, why are you letting our jails and prisons "rehabilitate" people by giving them "good credits" for being "good" and finding God. It's kind of sick, really: you stand outside bitching and moaning about a 10-commandments plaque but have no problem with "bubba" raping young girls and finding God to get out of jail and doing it all over again. WHO'S STUPID? YOU ARE. STOP THIS MADNESS.

I loved it when Jeff Dee went a little postal on Mark when Mark said he knew where Matt and Jeff were going after death. That's what I find so nauseating about Christians ... that smug, superior attitude that they think they are going to heaven and they get to gloat while the rest of us are in a burning lake of fire. All because of a stupid, superstitious book written by a bunch of goat herders.
Matt has to be one of the most brilliant debaters against Christianity I have ever heard. He absolutely destroys them every time with sound argument and clear mind.
I'd like to believe, that the sound we hear at the end when the caller hangs up -- is the sound of him being relieved of this nonsense and putting down the Bible. For good.
1 Timothy 4:1 NKJV Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
@wonnthree That shit has gone on forever. It has NOTHING to do with the "latter times". That is an evidenceless, self-reinforcing argument. GROW THE FUCK UP.
Psalm 5:10 NKJV Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.
Psalm 5:9 NKJV For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.
@wonnthree I am faithful to the truth that your emotional attachment to your belief does not make it true, that your religious pride and arrogance is really a defense and that what you just described, using a buy bull verse, resembles "christians" like yourself more than it does anyone else.
@kysmelmonge It's broadcast locally on TV only in the Austin, TX area. Everyone else has to view the live Ustream internet feed on Sundays @ 5:30PM ET. You can find the Ustream link at their website: "atheist-experience(dot)com".
@riniks112 Yea, pretty much destroyed! The way he just slowly slipped into silence as his reality was shattered. He started off the call telling them they were going to hell and then he finished the call in sheer awe of matts onslaught of rational responses. This is a very good example of the socratic method, the way matt & jeff kept firing questions at him and tripping him up. I guess he cried in bed that night and couldn't sleep properly for a week!
@soulfunkcity Actually, he called back a few times. At the end of the most recent call, he really seemed to be questioning his own religion and making real progress towards rationality.
@VesusSheist yeah i've seen that episode. The guys done well to lead him to the point where he either accepted their premise or rejected it. They built such a powerful case against his position that it really was hard to argue against without being in complete denial. I have complete respect for Mark(the caller) actually thinking for himself in the latter part of the other call instead of spouting pre-programmed church responses.
To the religious: your beliefs are similar to those of a child's belief in Santa Claus and should be ridiculed as such. You do not deserve to be taken seriously about your beliefs in the supernatural because laying claim to something without evidence is not how a mature, rational mind should work. peace
Religion was invented by children who grew up and never learned that there was no monster under the bed. Now as adults, the devil is the monster under the bed and god is their flashlight.
@suicune690 Lol, I thought the same thing about the studio lighting, it's bloody terrible, I thought Jeff looked like a cross between the joker and batman.
Wow. MATT DILLAHUNTY, FROM 11:20 - How can ANYone defend faith-based religion after that? I want to see him on TV panels on the BBC, CNN, AL JAZEERA & around the world alongside the likes of Dawkins & Hitchens. I only found these shows yesterday! And I must have watched (only) 50 so far.
If a god will reject you for not being a a grovling sickaphant or having different believes based on evidence. What kind of mentally does that god have?
You can't claim the bible is true unless you say its all true, and some parts are evil.

@stimpson65 Then, I had undoergone past life regression therapy and discovered things about myself that I couldn't possibly know without. I found out who is my soulmate (from my past lives), that I know her already, which gave me the courage to ask her out, and to my surprise she agreed right away.
Plus, all those people who underwent these therapy have actually found their past life families knowing incredible facts about their past selves, their past families accepted them as their dead self.

By source I mean actual study where authors, fundings and sponsors are cited (there are peopel in whos interest it is to debunk NDE)
I don't want to fight anyone or argue, I am just a truth seeker with an open mind.
I never believed in the Bible god, or those religious fanatics, and I don't now eather. I base on my own experience and facts. The real "god" is the energy that surrounds everything out of wich everything is created. Hard to explain in terms of a physical world...

@skydragon4ever That was a long response. What did it really say?
Coma = malfunctioning brain =... well, you probably see where this is going.
Past life regression "therapy"? You're serious aren't you? You honestly have no other explanation for your experience? Or are you simply choosing the one that makes you feel good?
Shy, the brain is a complex and very fallible thinking machine. It is prone to hallucinations and self-generated, even self-reinforcing, imagery under certain circumstances.

how do you know it's a fact, because of the so-called "proof"? There is a lot of fabricated evidence in the scientific community. It works in a way that when something doesn't fit the theory, it is rejected.
There were giant skeletons found in some places allover the world (what is curious is that the bible talks about it too) - and these skeletons were hidden away or destroyed to mentain the so-called "truth"
There were no negroid race when the so-called "human race" started.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

Jeff @ 2.20 - a picture of the atheist reaction to faith if ever there was one.
"The Bible mentions scientific facts that weren't widely known at the time." So did Einstein's paper of 1905, does that mean he was divinely inspired?
"There's prohpecy..."
How do we know those prophecies came true? Oh, that's right - the Bible (and ONLY the Bible) says they did. Also, Biblical predictions aren't specific enough to be called prophecies (and the one about Israel got the timing WAY wrong).

Scientists do not agree as to the age of the earth. Many say it is thousands of years old, some millions, others billions or even trillions of years old. One conclusion is certain, they all agree it is very, very old. God Does not state when he created the earth or the angels. He does not state the time when his judgment left the earth in the chaotic condition (READ Genesis 1:2). God does not state how long it remained in that condition (formless & void) before he remodeled it for man in 6 days.

When the two guys in the video ask if Christians believe the world is 6-10 thousand yrs old, the bible says, "One day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a Day" 2 Peter 3:8
That said, To God, what may seem like a Thousand yrs to us, is one day to God. The text says ‘one day is like [or as] a thousand years’—the word ‘like’ (or ‘as’) shows that it is a figure of speech, called a simile, to teach that God is outside of time (because He is the Creator of time itself).

Takes as much if not more faith and gullibility to believe in the theory of evolution. Much like pieces of a puzzle, with missing pieces with no beginning (first living cell? mass? infinite universe? to evolve from what?), with not a shred of evidence of the transition into man.
Furthermore, If you can't prove there is no God, Creator or Designer, why waste your lives denouncing it? Only a fool would be so presumptuous.

You do not deserve to be taken seriously about your beliefs in the supernatural because laying claim to something without evidence is not how a mature, rational mind should work. peace

Religion was invented by children who grew up and never learned that there was no monster under the bed. Now as adults, the devil is the monster under the bed and god is their flashlight.

Wow. MATT DILLAHUNTY, FROM 11:20 - How can ANYone defend faith-based religion after that? I want to see him on TV panels on the BBC, CNN, AL JAZEERA & around the world alongside the likes of Dawkins & Hitchens. I only found these shows yesterday! And I must have watched (only) 50 so far.
