People believe in god because they want to believe that no matter what happens someone (or something) is always looking out for them. The only problem with religion is that over time the good ideas that were there originally have been twisted into something entirely different until it almost doesn't make any sense. Believing in God isn't bad. Believing what your minister says about burning in hell, Gays being disgusting, and someone being wrong because they believe something different is wrong.
What I find very ironic is the fact that the secular and atheist charity organizations of this world have done just as much if not more for the hungry and needy than any religious charities. Of course, as far as Christians are concerned this goodwill doesn't count since it wasn't done in the name of God.
Do you have a chart or something to compare your comment to. Have you totalled all Christian organizations and secular organizations' giving since the beginning of time and compared them? I need to know so your comment can be vaild.
@nosajj12345 I'm thinking there are more secular organizations than christian so the odds of having more gross giving makes sense but per capita we couldn't say, we'd have to break down every little organization around the world. Plus who knows about all the christians who give and don't announce it to the world that they are giving.
XD I love the noise you made in the beginning! I'm going to do that now.
I dissagree though, that putting the "why believe in God?" on busses is a good idea. I don't believe in God but I'm not going to tell other people not to. They should just say "be a good for goodness' sake" or something. Leave God and religion out of the equation all together.
Good for goodness sake? No way. People cant do anything unless they have a gun pointed at their head. "Do what I say or else!" How else could we have morals and do good? Oh yeah, and please remember to pass the collection plate. God measures your goodwill in dollars and cents.
Atheist are 50/50 of their belief and that is a fact. The are 50% chance of what they claim about science. Now having a full trust and belief of God who created all things with complexity is 100% sure. If not 100% sure...I rather take my 50% with God compared to 50% nothing. I have got nothing to lose. Make sense.
By the Christian's logic, people who take care of widows and orphans, obey the Golden Rule, pursue peace and work to make the world better are quite obviously good and approved. EVEN the Athiests or Agnostipated.
Now I like Festivus--- a barber pole instead of a tree, and instead of presents a list of family grievances to be resolved by the person in charge humilliating everybody who's been wrong. And he's right. Let's get Festivus going, unless it violates the Seinfeld copyright.
so are you trying to tell me that everything i believe is wrong, because i believe in God.. your all about being peaceful, but yet what you say is verryyy offensive!
@XRayyRayy - By your logic, the mere fact that you've stated your point of view should be offensive. Yet most of us aren't offended by your point of view. You have freedom of speech; so does she.
There's nothing wrong with celebrating a holiday you don't believe in if you use that time to spend with family and friends and appreciate what you have. Atheists do not ruin the world as claimed by JO1E1. Religion is the root cause of war and prejudice in the world. It takes a free thinker not bound by preconceived dogma to see things as they are instead of how they are brainwashed into thinking they are. I'm an Atheist and do a lot to help whenever possible, including fostering 2 teenagers.
Christmas was actually a Roman holiday. Do some history lookin'.
It was original a festival event in the winter time to raise spirits, it had an attachment to Pagan entities. It was replaced by "Christmas" after the Christians became the dominant force in the Empire.
Christmas is not a celebration of Jesus Bday. He was more likely, if born at all, born in the spring or summer.
blame satan and blame people who reject the true teachings of christ thats why the world is in a mess but thank god not everyone bows down to satan there are those that feeds the poor take care of the widows open churches god is real we didnt create our selfs in the bible the prophet said the world is hangin over nothin how did he know 4000 yrs ago if there were no form of flight.
then they need too be locked up 4 good , if no more extremists then there will be no more killing in the name of this and that, and they might just be all wrong about a so called god as well WHAT-IF
God loved Hitler and I hate Hitler!!!lol He also loved it when his christian army, i mean children would take over the world and kill anything that moved.. jesus turned water into wine to get the women drunk and in bed with him. The men were drunk too and they just didnt care.. we see this today as a miracle in the bible, but a situation like this today in reality could get a man killed.. lol.. jesus should have been called ONE BIG CONTRADICTION....AND SO ON
so...just wondering, what is the standard for "Good"? from what I know, everything that people think is "Good" comes from right out of the Bible! If the Bible's New Testament provokes us to do good and to "love your enemies" and so forth, why is it attacked so vehemently? How can there be a standard of "Good" without the Holy Bible? i don't understand?
Some will attack this thought vehemently because the Bible is hypocrisy in action. Keep in mind please that I'm not attacking this idea you mentioned, but I am pointing out why some might not find it so benign.
An example of good without God is right here staring you in the face with the persona of Thinkmorepink. You might see her differently, and that's your opinion/choice/prerogative, but thankfully, however you see her, it's an individual perspective that others are free to disagree upon
why would you make such a statement? The Bible is not hypocrisy, in fact!, if it weren't for the Bible, no one would even know about the word Hypocrisy! I'd like you to bring up one example in the Bible that makes it Hypocritical!
In fact? Viewed as a whole? Take for instance the difference(s) between the Old and the New Testaments. The New Testament says "God is love", which contradicts the Old Testament where God is jealous, vengeful, responsible for genocide, favoritism and many other contraditions.
Leviticus mentions an "eye for an eye", but the Sermon on the Mount says "turn the other cheek". Which is it?
The areas of the Old Testament regarding slavery and some of the sundry laws certainly seem to apply.
God was and still is the Same God of the OLD and the NEW Testament, if you haven't read either, you shouldn't judge! In the Old Testament God was showing us how IMPERFECT we are as human beings, that's why GOD sent HIS ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST so that we could be saved through HIM. Until then, the people who believed in GOD in the Old Testament went to Abraham's bosom until the First Easter when JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD and brought those people up to HEAVEN!
and the verse u keep mentioning about God being a jealous God, its not the same as human Jealousy, its different. If you create something and it starts to say back to its creator, you didn't create me! how would you feel? God is Jealous for us not jealous of us! you don't read the Bible so i can't expect you to understand... In order for there to be ORDER in the Old Testament, there needed to be laws... back then it was an eye for an eye, but Jesus taught us that we should love, even our enemies
We should absolutely have our ads. There are more of us non-religious people out there than is generally thought. If we were as vocal as the christian fundamentalists, prayer in schools wouldn't even be an issue.
I think Religion is a scape goat for those with guilty conciences - so they feel elightened about their sins ! .. they are trouble makers and they may as well beleive in fucking SANTA CLAUSE !!!
its not that the ads promote peace its that they are promoting atheism which obviously rejection of Jesus...i think its obvious why a stir is caused.
..why do atheist acts have to have prosletysing messages all over them...doing charity and saying while they do it 'dont believe in God' is that good for goodness sake..or is it just for the sake of activism on communicating an idea..like this vid it wasnt 'lets do good' its 'let ATHEISTS do good' mmmm
I'm just saying that christians do charity and have it centered around god. They do it while saying "have faith" and "Pray it will get better" I overheard a lady saying she was such a good christian for doing charity. It's no offensive I was just pointing out that christians do the same thing.
Hey, if there isn't a god then why are you trying to prove no god? Let the christians be religious, let the muslims be religious, why try and change them if there truly is no god? If you think this is your on and only life then stop wasting your time with the religious folk out there.
But, to be quite frank, there is more evidence for a true and living God then there is against.
Why argue against atheism? They simply dont believe in something, most of which you don't believe in either (Zeus).
Religion is a cultural phenomena. Therefore not a supernatural intervention. There is more evidence for that than for the Germ Theory. Just take an objective course on the religions of the past. How they developed and how religion and cultures evolved together.
Or Google "Religions of the past" or something
Then if you can handle it, you will see your religion is just the same.
This video has nothing to do with proving there is no god. It's just saying that we don't need god to give us a reason to do good. Nowhere in that video did it say "There is no god, and this proves it...." Like I said, it just says that charity work doesn't need to be religiously based.
Many of you may be like me. You want to do good things, but you are perpetually broke because you are in college or you are living paycheck-to-paycheck. the best way i have found is to just perform small random acts of kindness on strangers. just do things that would require a little bit of effort that most people seem unwilling to do. hold the door open for anyone, regardless of how hot they are. when someone drops all their shit help them pick it up. that shit spreads around.
One point you can feel the wind asshole you cant feel god another point why try to disprove him.Your religions cause so much damage its our obligation to try to talk some sense into you christains as soon as possible for the good of everyone :)/Peace
O M G you hit the nail on the head you are unleashing Evil with these Atheist videos, if there is no God y are you trying to prove that so hard, if the wind is blowing and there is nothing moving dose it mean the wind dose not exist if you cant see it.,. GOD is an Awsome GOD,,creator of all things Good and evil,
That's ridiculous logic. Why would you murder your family, first of all? Secondly, is God really stopping you? Do you really base your behaviour on the 10 Commandments? Third, I'll bet you the Christian to Athiest ratio among capital muderers is off the charts. Finally, we're biological beings wired to propagate and work in community for our own greater good. We're like ants - we MUST work together and not create chaos in order to survive. Dolt
You know I really like your video, you are the first athiest that I've seen/met has even had an idea like this. kudos on you. I believe that nomatter what you believe we should be able to get along if we all just do goodwill and spread joy whether your an athiest or not. my brother is an athiest and I still love him and he still loves me. I think it was mostly parents disturbed by how santa was being depicted, yet every year we take kids to see him hes not the same guy or "Santas Helpers"
Religion is just another name for a reason to hate other people.
Initially, it was created to answer questions about phenomena they couldn't explain; such as lightning. They came up with the idea it couldn't be random, and decided someone must be "pulling the strings". With science to CORRECTLY answer those questions, why even have religion?
I love the idea of being good for goodness sake. I also think that atheists should organize and stick together, and show the strength of their community. I don't think this effort needs to coincide with Christmas. In fact I find it ironic that atheists would go out of their way to promote something Godless during the holiday season. The term "Godless Christmas" sounds intentionally offensive. Why not just leave it as "Be Good for Goodness Sake"?
i like your ad but Christmas is all about Jesus Christ's birth not goodness who cares if your nice and naughty this year and like who cares about your campaign or ad something but how can we be good if were godless the Christ in Christmas stands for Christ we can't be godless this Christmas because were celebrating Christ's birth!! if you don't understand it's ok.
Actually, gaiafantxt, Christmas is a pagan holiday. Numerous other, older gods or what have you, were thought to be born on December 25th, as well. Samething with Easter, Christianity copies a lot of older pagan religions. So no, I don't think Christmas is about Jesus, not unless you want it to be.
i;m am kind of offended by this ad, but i;m really only an 8th grader. i am lutheran and i go to church a good amount of times, but i;m not completely sure there really is a God. i;m a person who needs to see things to believe or understand and i;m only 95% sure there is actually a God.I still think they shouldn't of put up this ad. it is very offensive to ppl and they apparently don;t realize tht ppl will sue them....just saying
Good for you. It's good that you care about other people, but the fact that the whole ad is causing a stir is because it is about God, whether you say it is or not. If it really wanted to promote goodwill, which would be a good thing, why the heck couldn't the ad have just said to be good for goodness sake without mentioning God?
And yes, Christmas has become commercialized and overflown the world with its materialistic values. It needs to return to its former meaning, of honoring the birth of Jesus Christ (even though he wasn't born on the 25th) and bestowing love and selflessness to others. Not about getting a Wii.
The reason people celebrate Christmas is because the Christians were jerks. To try and convert the pagans, they just made it up to say "Well, look, we have a winter holiday too!"
So it's not a celebration of "the birth of Christ" some random guy who just happens to be featured in one of the oldest and most widely published FICTIONAL books in the world.
When they were spreading Christianity, they found Pagan peoples and learned about Yule and said, "Look! How convenient! We have a holiday on the same day!". The same thing happened with Easter, for some sort of Fertility celebration. That's where the bunny comes in. Rabbits reproduce easily and quickly.
Personally I'm a Christian, and I follow the Bible and it tells me what is good, good being what God sees as good, and the outlines of that, such as loving your neighbor, kindness, honoring your parents, etc., and I see nothing wrong with that.
Please, "good"? "Good" is such a relative term to people. What Hitler thought he was doing was "good" was bad to everyone else. Some murderers think what they do is "good". Is giving money away to the homeless "good" if they're going to waste it on drugs? Your way of thinking is the new-age, immature Oprah crap that holds no substance. Because everyone has a different idea of good, unless you have a standard that is upheld by everyone, nothing is ultimately good or evil.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Was that disgusting grunt at the beginning of the video a failed attempt at a mating call (cause no one would come within 8438285 feet of you) or a desire to stuff your face with more food?
lol You truly are ignorant. Stop pointing out 'obscenities' about others and look at yourself. I am definetly in support of thinkmorepink This is how I go about my life. I think that xmas is too artificial and the real meaning needs to reemerge with a powerful kick.
Thank you for the video, thinkmorepink, and you have my support.
you where dropped on your head as a child, teased as a kid, not invited to party's as a teen, and are still alone as an adult. very, very, sad. Once you find someone to love you for you, all this crap will fade. Good luck.
Religion would have us believe that we must persevere in order to be rewarded. This hinders us from taking drastic action to improve the here and now for ourselves and our fellow man. It makes suffering seem necessary and virtuous.
As to the point of life: beats me. Does there have to be one? Isn´t everything what you make it to be?
O M G you hit the nail on the head you are unleashing Evil with these Atheist videos, if there is no God y are you trying to prove that so hard, if the wind is blowing and there is nothing moving dose it mean the wind dose not exist if you cant see it.,. GOD is an Awsome GOD,,creator of all things Good and evil,
Why does God or Jesus have to be the only reason to be good and kind and give?
Why can't we all just be kind, regardless of religion.
Second, you have a GREAT speaking voice. Your voice is perfect for storytelling (like in your video of the gay knight). Just thought I'd let ya know! :)
What do you believe in? Do you believe in the big nothing after death? But if it is like that, how could be nothing after life? Why is there anything? Probably you think, there is something,something more explainable than God, you think that way because you dont want to be a "mainstream" person,you think youre different.If you believe in anything which created everything that exists,you believe in God, and if you dont,youre stupid because everything has a beginning.From nothing cant be nothing.
just because u have ur views, doesnt mean u have to force it on everybody. at least she doesnt say that if u dont believe what i do, ur stupid. nice job, loser.
I dont force it on everybody. And i dont call poeple who dont believe what I believe stupid. And I dont call people loser, I dont understand.
I only said if you dont believe in God and dont believe in anything that created everything ( it doesnt have to be god) than your stupid. sry but i cant express myself in english thats why my argumentation is that bad^^ im from germany
The Big Bang is not shocking. Youre thinking youre one of the intelligent people who think everything can be explained with some theories and stuff, I believe in science , too. But are you really that "short-minded" (sry i dont know the right english expression) that you didnt ask yourself how the big bang could have been createt? why did the big bang happen? what were before the big bang? i think the source of everything is in one thing, which created everything for a reason we dont understand
If you haven't researched the big bang and speak bad English, why are you even watching this?!
The theory of the big band is that all of existence was once condensed into a single particle of matter (atoms are mostly empty space). It was highly unstable and exploded. Many scientists think that after a loooong time, the universe will condense again and create another big bang.
I speak bad english , but I speak better German and better French than you and I can speak a bit English , too. So far for that. You didnt get it. I know the big bang theorie , I think better than you know , you have a limitet perception of this. But what i mean is where came the one single particle from? where came nothing from? thats what i mean... if you dont understand , this time dont try to understand... ans pls dont flame people if you dont understand them. greez
Ha a message of peace starts an arguement, there's a new one. Thing is tho, if you strip the point down yeah, it's simple just saying. Put you're beliefs to one side and be good to each other. Maybe not very tactful, but then Religions against gays and what not, biggots and rasicts aren't exactly tactfull with there beatings and campaigning.
Tis a nice message at the end of the day, doesn't take alot to just be good and polite really, infact, it's more enough to be rude and disruptive lol
Ok so lets make it fair. The muslim's will put up a sign for their holiday, the wiccan's can have a pentagram sign, The athiest's can have their sign,Jews can have their sign, and then we can have a sign and special events for people who are confused on what to believe, Oh yeah don't forget Kwanza, and so on and so on. Oh Oh wait we need a monkey God for the Hindues a nice big statue. See how stuppid all this is? God is God. The end
didn't u just make a point about how u should have every religion have a sign? and now ur just like 'god is god'. well we dont all have to believe in what u believe in.
I totally agree w/ this concept, but I believe that we should be supporting our own in the usa. We have a lot of problems here that needed 2 be helped. Homeless, orphans, hell the areas hit by Katrina 3 yrs ago are still not up 2 par! Just an idea.
I agree Coynetoss EXEPT if a person actually DOES believe in a god/savior then its their belief and a person will never be right when he/she tries to change that. Personally I don't even know if I believe in a god but i don't interfere with other peoples religious beliefs.
No, it's not. It honors the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, but it's not his real birthday.
Remember what Christmas is "supposed" to be about (Not why Christian's celebrate it)? To celebrate family. Are you saying that if we don't need a religious reason to celebrate family, we shouldn't celebrate family? Or are you saying that Atheists are plants that have no family to celebrate?
also the very meaning of christmas is Christ's birth. so, no, christmas is not just a celebration of things that don't exist, it's the celebration of the birth of someone that did exist and (christian's believe) still does.
ummm sorry to be the one to tell you.. but jesus wasnt actually born on christmas..mmkay..soooo no christmas isnt actually about jesus! its about narrow minded dimwits putting a religious label on a pagan holiday! mmkay :)
Ummm, sorry to be the one to tell you, but, most Christians know Jesus wasn't born in December, mkay? :) The church had to pick a day to set up his birthday on, and they just happened to pick a day in December. Mmmmkay :] And paganism is a religion, j2lyk, lol. Christians started Christmas, not the Pagans, mmmmmmmkaaaaaay? :)
christmas isn't here for santa... christmas is here for christians celebrating christ. other religions have their own celebrations. this is one of christians. get over it.
Just be good for goodness sake! A good charity might be a cancer association. I can't think of anything worse than knowing you might not be alive to see the next holiday season. A food drive might be good for the hungry, too.
I don't think that Not believing in God is catagorized under 'Great' God, made the World, believe it or not, and this video is promoting to be good, and if your Good, then God wont mind if you don't believe in him.. Um.. no. All religions should believe in Their own God, & STILL be good.
No we do not. Try believing in the flying spaghetti monster. You can't choose to believe in that because your mind does not allow you to logically conclude that it exists. Someone who just doesn't believe God exists, cannot be forced to believe that he exists because it just doesn't make sense to them. Ergo, you cannot choose what you believe in.
You are right. No one can be FORCED into believing in something. But everyone has a say in what they believe. Everyone chooses what/whom they believe in.
Your analogy is messed up. You are comparing a "Flying Spaghetti Monster" to the one who created everything you know. That is not a good analogy.
No. Watch my video that is coming up in a day. Your ignorance prevents you from fully understanding the analogy. I'm not comparing the flying spaghetti monster to god. I'm talking about belief in itself. It doesn't have to be the flying spaghetti monster. Maybe if you were more open minded you wouldn't be so easily trumped in debates like this.
Sweetheart, I am VERY open minded. I like hearing people's side of things. And I will watch your video. Hmm, i understand where you are comeing from though. The whole "belief" thing. But you can still CHOOSE who/what to believe in. The same thing goes for being homosexual.
Yes. Let's be good. Let's love the unlovable. Let's care for the poor and those that can't help themselves. Give food to the hungry and money to those in need. That's good!
The way i look at it is All religions worship god in their own way so no matter what it dosent matter what Blah! Buddha could be God in another form and All the other religions so just as long as u believe in a Religion Ur probably worshiping God. Just not Satanism or whatever that is called.
Goodwill its not necesarily good. I can feel good killing people. The only thing that can guide you is the Bible. And I'm an ex-atheist by the way, its not religion, its faith. So youre not in anyway kind of obligation in believe in HIM. Its just got consecuenses.
Thats a psychopathic value system. For me selling ones daughter into slavery is wrong, so I must reject the bible, with it's gramatical error and all it's twisted morality.
hmm just last week i was at this youth group thing at school and the guy teaching the lesion said that when he was atheist his life was really bad and was never happy and when he became a Cristine he said he is happy and his life is good and i got pissed cuz he was implying that you only have a good life and are happy if you believe in god like WTF!
People want to shape what was once a CHRISTIAN USA into an atheistic society, so that ,YES, there will be no obligation, at all, none whatsoever, zilch. "Good" will be subject to the law, and the law(which is run by corrupt polititions)will never be adamant. It is funny how people dont realize how the states stabilized 30 percent of the world by investing billions in foreign econimies after WWII. Oh, and for all the band-wagon junkies here, che was a butcher who MURDERED countless POWs
What people dont realize is that when humans do things because because "they" think its good, "good" is subject to interpretation. What is the binding force in this world to to specify good and evil? People want to rebel against something just to feel unique. But what is the point of everything if there is no one to answere to?
Great video. People should learn from it. Some people just don't get it... They feel attacked and react badly. Just like those people who are getting offended by that ad you saw. It's crazy. I really think people shouldn't be good because they're afraid of going to hell. People should be good... Just to be good like you say.
Again, great video! 5 stars. I hope your message reaches more people and succeeds in spreading a message of goodness!
Nice work, Think! Good for goodness' sake. . .I like it. Peace, because it's the right thing to do. There are soooo many charities. So many needy people, animals, environmental causes. Getting the goods to the people who need it is the tough part. Think, pick one and run with it.
Awesome video! I gave some can good to a charity for the hungry and I'm getting ready to donate some house hold items to a woman's shelter. Not sure if you would like to do either of those things, but there options. And I'm pretty happy that they're doing the ad as well. There was another one that was done in England I think and it got a lot of popularity as well. They seem to think it's just fine to promote Jesus and God to us, but the second we promote Secularism they want to have a tantrum.
This is what I say to people all the time... why can't we just be good to each other?! Why do we always need special reasons to be? The only reason we need to just be good, is because nothing else makes sense.
Saved to my favorites :3

People believe in god because they want to believe that no matter what happens someone (or something) is always looking out for them. The only problem with religion is that over time the good ideas that were there originally have been twisted into something entirely different until it almost doesn't make any sense. Believing in God isn't bad. Believing what your minister says about burning in hell, Gays being disgusting, and someone being wrong because they believe something different is wrong.

The men were drunk too and they just didnt care.. we see this today as a miracle in the bible, but a situation like this today in reality could get a man killed.. lol.. jesus should have been called ONE BIG CONTRADICTION....AND SO ON

so...just wondering, what is the standard for "Good"? from what I know, everything that people think is "Good" comes from right out of the Bible! If the Bible's New Testament provokes us to do good and to "love your enemies" and so forth, why is it attacked so vehemently? How can there be a standard of "Good" without the Holy Bible? i don't understand?
AlinCS2A05 2 years ago
Some will attack this thought vehemently because the Bible is hypocrisy in action. Keep in mind please that I'm not attacking this idea you mentioned, but I am pointing out why some might not find it so benign.
An example of good without God is right here staring you in the face with the persona of Thinkmorepink. You might see her differently, and that's your opinion/choice/prerogative, but thankfully, however you see her, it's an individual perspective that others are free to disagree upon
Eldrave20 2 years ago
why would you make such a statement? The Bible is not hypocrisy, in fact!, if it weren't for the Bible, no one would even know about the word Hypocrisy! I'd like you to bring up one example in the Bible that makes it Hypocritical!
AlinCS2A05 2 years ago
In fact? Viewed as a whole? Take for instance the difference(s) between the Old and the New Testaments. The New Testament says "God is love", which contradicts the Old Testament where God is jealous, vengeful, responsible for genocide, favoritism and many other contraditions.
Leviticus mentions an "eye for an eye", but the Sermon on the Mount says "turn the other cheek". Which is it?
The areas of the Old Testament regarding slavery and some of the sundry laws certainly seem to apply.
Eldrave20 2 years ago
God was and still is the Same God of the OLD and the NEW Testament, if you haven't read either, you shouldn't judge! In the Old Testament God was showing us how IMPERFECT we are as human beings, that's why GOD sent HIS ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST so that we could be saved through HIM. Until then, the people who believed in GOD in the Old Testament went to Abraham's bosom until the First Easter when JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD and brought those people up to HEAVEN!
AlinCS2A05 2 years ago
and the verse u keep mentioning about God being a jealous God, its not the same as human Jealousy, its different. If you create something and it starts to say back to its creator, you didn't create me! how would you feel? God is Jealous for us not jealous of us! you don't read the Bible so i can't expect you to understand... In order for there to be ORDER in the Old Testament, there needed to be laws... back then it was an eye for an eye, but Jesus taught us that we should love, even our enemies

Hey, if there isn't a god then why are you trying to prove no god? Let the christians be religious, let the muslims be religious, why try and change them if there truly is no god? If you think this is your on and only life then stop wasting your time with the religious folk out there.
But, to be quite frank, there is more evidence for a true and living God then there is against.
Jon0326 3 years ago
Why argue against atheism? They simply dont believe in something, most of which you don't believe in either (Zeus).
Religion is a cultural phenomena. Therefore not a supernatural intervention. There is more evidence for that than for the Germ Theory. Just take an objective course on the religions of the past. How they developed and how religion and cultures evolved together.
Or Google "Religions of the past" or something
Then if you can handle it, you will see your religion is just the same.

This video has nothing to do with proving there is no god. It's just saying that we don't need god to give us a reason to do good. Nowhere in that video did it say "There is no god, and this proves it...." Like I said, it just says that charity work doesn't need to be religiously based.

Religion is just another name for a reason to hate other people.
Initially, it was created to answer questions about phenomena they couldn't explain; such as lightning. They came up with the idea it couldn't be random, and decided someone must be "pulling the strings". With science to CORRECTLY answer those questions, why even have religion?
BlodhArget 3 years ago
I love the idea of being good for goodness sake. I also think that atheists should organize and stick together, and show the strength of their community. I don't think this effort needs to coincide with Christmas. In fact I find it ironic that atheists would go out of their way to promote something Godless during the holiday season. The term "Godless Christmas" sounds intentionally offensive. Why not just leave it as "Be Good for Goodness Sake"?

i like your ad but Christmas is all about Jesus Christ's birth not goodness who cares if your nice and naughty this year and like who cares about your campaign or ad something but how can we be good if were godless the Christ in Christmas stands for Christ we can't be godless this Christmas because were celebrating Christ's birth!! if you don't understand it's ok.

Actually, gaiafantxt, Christmas is a pagan holiday. Numerous other, older gods or what have you, were thought to be born on December 25th, as well. Samething with Easter, Christianity copies a lot of older pagan religions. So no, I don't think Christmas is about Jesus, not unless you want it to be.

And yes, Christmas has become commercialized and overflown the world with its materialistic values. It needs to return to its former meaning, of honoring the birth of Jesus Christ (even though he wasn't born on the 25th) and bestowing love and selflessness to others. Not about getting a Wii.
TheReturnofDogen 3 years ago
Here's a little note:
The reason people celebrate Christmas is because the Christians were jerks. To try and convert the pagans, they just made it up to say "Well, look, we have a winter holiday too!"
So it's not a celebration of "the birth of Christ" some random guy who just happens to be featured in one of the oldest and most widely published FICTIONAL books in the world.
It kind of is about getting a wii.

Please, "good"? "Good" is such a relative term to people. What Hitler thought he was doing was "good" was bad to everyone else. Some murderers think what they do is "good". Is giving money away to the homeless "good" if they're going to waste it on drugs? Your way of thinking is the new-age, immature Oprah crap that holds no substance. Because everyone has a different idea of good, unless you have a standard that is upheld by everyone, nothing is ultimately good or evil.

Religion would have us believe that we must persevere in order to be rewarded. This hinders us from taking drastic action to improve the here and now for ourselves and our fellow man. It makes suffering seem necessary and virtuous.

No we do not. Try believing in the flying spaghetti monster. You can't choose to believe in that because your mind does not allow you to logically conclude that it exists.

You are right. No one can be FORCED into believing in something. But everyone has a say in what they believe. Everyone chooses what/whom they believe in.

1. Grow your own food. 2. Barter stuff with your neighbors instead of paying. Have a neighborhood party.

Goodwill its not necesarily good. I can feel good killing people. The only thing that can guide you is the Bible. And I'm an ex-atheist by the way, its not religion, its faith. So youre not in anyway kind of obligation in believe in HIM. Its just got consecuenses.

Thats a psychopathic value system. For me selling ones daughter into slavery is wrong, so I must reject the bible, with it's gramatical error and all it's twisted morality.

hmm just last week i was at this youth group thing at school and the guy teaching the lesion said that when he was atheist his life was really bad and was never happy and when he became a Cristine he said he is happy and his life is good and i got pissed cuz he was implying that you only have a good life and are happy if you believe in god like WTF!

People want to shape what was once a CHRISTIAN USA into an atheistic society, so that ,YES, there will be no obligation, at all, none whatsoever, zilch. "Good" will be subject to the law, and the law(which is run by corrupt polititions)will never be adamant. It is funny how people dont realize how the states stabilized 30 percent of the world by investing billions in foreign econimies after WWII. Oh, and for all the band-wagon junkies here, che was a butcher who MURDERED countless POWs

What people dont realize is that when humans do things because because "they" think its good, "good" is subject to interpretation. What is the binding force in this world to to specify good and evil? People want to rebel against something just to feel unique. But what is the point of everything if there is no one to answere to?

Precisely... I mean... what is restraining you now from raping your mother? It's god right?

Great video. People should learn from it. Some people just don't get it... They feel attacked and react badly. Just like those people who are getting offended by that ad you saw. It's crazy. I really think people shouldn't be good because they're afraid of going to hell. People should be good... Just to be good like you say.
Again, great video! 5 stars. I hope your message reaches more people and succeeds in spreading a message of goodness!

Get the worst out? What are you, anti-religion? What these people are doing is wrong, but that doesn't mean the religion is wrong.
Get the word out that people kill people. Religions don't kill religions.
Let me say it again because most of you probably still don't get it, and I know I'll have to repeat it again. So.
PEOPLE kill PEOPLE. RELIGIONS don't kill RELIGIONS. People do bad things to other people. Religions don't do bad things to other religions.

Nice work, Think! Good for goodness' sake. . .I like it. Peace, because it's the right thing to do. There are soooo many charities. So many needy people, animals, environmental causes. Getting the goods to the people who need it is the tough part. Think, pick one and run with it.

Awesome video! I gave some can good to a charity for the hungry and I'm getting ready to donate some house hold items to a woman's shelter. Not sure if you would like to do either of those things, but there options. And I'm pretty happy that they're doing the ad as well. There was another one that was done in England I think and it got a lot of popularity as well. They seem to think it's just fine to promote Jesus and God to us, but the second we promote Secularism they want to have a tantrum.

AMAZING. *applauds*
This is what I say to people all the time... why can't we just be good to each other?! Why do we always need special reasons to be? The only reason we need to just be good, is because nothing else makes sense.
