Dear Amazing Atheist - Why telling people to believe in god is stupid is the wrong way

[mini1gerbel]

good video, good food for thought. enjoyed it!

[horowizard]

Very insightful.

I think TAA is funny.

Stupid, but funny..

[nohobob]

religion is simple it's based on faiath and belief. you can't touch that, or physicaly you either believe or you don't. the devil exists also and he is walking the world right now. look at the state. read isah and ezikiel. but if you don't believe i'm not going to make an argument for a disbeliever to believe. the world is not a statistical anamoly. you choose to believe so fine god gave you that choice.i'm not a holy roller, but bad things are coming because we turned our backs on god.

[hanspeterpitsch]

@nohobob If you don't believe in the god story to begin with, there's no god to give you the choice to believe in him. You just have that choice because people told you about god. And there's NO evidence for the bad stuff happening because we turned our backs on a god, whichever god it might be. Bad stuff has always happened.

[nohobob]

THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY HUMAN BEINGS THROGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD. THAT'S NOT A RELIGION THAT IS THE PRETEXT OF THE BIBLE

[HoLOLcaust]

@nohobob Ok let's see some proof of that.

[Billymaysfan6837]

His videos are ok...but if you think he's ok, check out his blogtv. On blogtv, he's a hateful motherfucker.

[MAR4168]

I agree with Jesse. Great video!

[jesse0192]

I agree. I did the same thing when I first started questioning christianity, I pointed out how stupid all their points are.  But now I realize that this isn't the way to make people think about your reasons.

Simple--the bible is a book. People write books! People are full of crap! Great video.

[TheOregondawg]

@glitch..are you in special ed? ya ride the short bus? Because religions been around a LOT longer than 2000 years..People have been worshipping the God of Abraham and Isaac as far back as records go.Also-its weird that no other "god" or other event in history changed time like Jesus did...bc to ad...yeah...

[xxglitchxhunterxx]

we needed religion 2000 years ago because it was the only way to make people do good things, we have learned from our mistakes, there is no need for religion now

[LuvBugLuvver]

Thanks, good to hear from someone who was obviously there and can clearly and concisely compare the modern world to the world of 2000 years ago!

i think it's everybodys own decision what to belive and what not. as u said its a problem that some people are manipulated easy and belive stuff which is really ridiculus like sientologies or watever but still ( as long as the organisation is not only trying to make provit out of thier members) i thinks its their decison what to belife. I see a problem also in interpreting the bible. some say you have to take it word for word but in my opinion only the least of the stories in there really

[swisshander]

happend. but all these stories want to tell us something. for example the ten rules. if everybody (no matter if he s religious or not) would respect only 10 rules we would have less problems.

and to the question of beliving in god. i m miself studing chemistry and biology and the question if god exist cant be answerd. so you cant tell somebody stupid because he belives in something thats not prooved. maybee one day it will be for shure that god didnt exist but still the christian religion had

[swisshander]

some good ideas how to organise life between human beeings.

[bettydaw1970]

I think the high iq types know its bullshit..the lower iq types (which is the majority) reveal in religion, well because they arent intellegent to know better...

[sulthus]

personaly, my problems not with religion, its with people saying they have proof of god, or they deny science, and then use it for there luxury

[gugui3z24]

ur a moron, period

[tabularasa000]

Did you consider the idea that TJ is just making theological observations, and presenting them not in a critical manner, but for intellectual and entertainment purposes?

[Dislekseyuh]

You definitely win a prize, thought I'm not sure what it is yet =(

[edmannumber1]

religion = garbage

[rainingblood19]

i love you TJ

[TheAmazingAtheist]

I'm not trying to convert people, nor am I trying to be liked. I simply talk about the world as I view it and people can react in the way that they see fit. I don't call people morons with the hope that they will change, I call them morons because that's how I see them.

[NightmareGanon]

I must say, I disagree with you in many points, but I laugh at people that get offended by opinions too.

Freedom of speech is saying whatever anyone wants to say, independently of how other people will feel about it. There may be situations where common sense would tell you not to say something, but that should be your judgement, not that of anyone else.

[2freet]

thx for the comment! I understand. I always thought you want to be critical and get people to think. I see that it can't be the goal to "convert" people. But if I had your audience, I would at least try to show the really bad things about religion. You can do this showing individuals believing "stupid" things, or you show the blind mass following few people in power. I ask, what is more important? more effective? You don't have to answer but I would choose the second way. thx

[Plaxtic]

i agree, god youre so amazing.

[beastbutcher]

Ya he's a jerk

[2freet]

why?

[beastbutcher]

He automatically labels everyone who even suggests there is a god and calls them a lunatic probably to keep his ratings up so he can make more money off you tube

[2freet]

I agree, but most of the time he talks against the fanatic believers I think. Those who cannot think one thought without their religious view in mind.

I agree a lot with him. The only thing is that you cannot argue that way to show the people that religion can be bad, dangerous and wrong with wrong people behind it.

[ssendam333]

He is right.

[beastbutcher]

how can you prove he's right

[beastbutcher]

i say he's wrong, can you prove I am.
