Keep trying to pull people out of Christianity. Your tactics are sly, smart, fetching. But, you fail to see the bigger picture. You fail to understand your depth of how far you are from reality. You say Christians don't live in reality, when we are the ones who believe that this earth was created. Atheists are the biggest hypocrites in the world. Did your breakfast just appear in fron t of you this morning? Matter of fact, how did you get here? Did you just appear? Wow. Incredible.
Sounds good and all. But you fail to understand that no one is good, no not one. You cannot save yourself. We will all die, regardless of our new discoveries and our knowledge. We will all fall to sleep and will have to answer to the one who made us. You cannot escape this. You just can't. I like how this video says myths of the past and letting them go. Yea,like love, honesty, forgiveness, selflessness, yea lets put those aside. If we all do that, watch out. You atheists are brilliant.
@jaythecommish Why not keep those values and abandon the gods? Just look at all the extremists and radicalists and people who've casted genocide all in the name of their God. You're telling me that was loving, honest, forgiving, and selfless to slaughter whole hordes of human beings for God? How is that a good thing? I say keep the values. Put aside the gods and myths. You can still be a decent person without having to believe in millenia old fables.
I've been having rather depressing experiences trying to discuss with persons who allow their lives to play out upon faith-based epistemologies. I am coming to the disheartening conclusion that faith is worse than war because with faith there can be no reasoning; no negotiating; no compromise; no peace. :-(
@xIFORGOTTOPULLOUTx He's just a "priest" trying to make that money. Pastors and priests make millions evangelizing the bible in their selective churches. It's all about the money.
I will say this much though. I like the fact that some of these churches offer aid to the homeless and needy. Even if its a ploy to indoctrinate theminto their interpretation of faith, it's still a heartfelt thing to do.
@RedCrescentDemon You are naive. About the money?? Are you kidding me? You cant be serious. Yes, there are those who promote false prosperity doctrines who are in it for the money, but how is that different than Mr. Dawkins writing books and making his millions? They are both false and running to the banks with their money. Good for them.

@lionchez Most atheists are arrogant and do seem to condescend heavily on christians for their beliefs.

So I can sympathize with both sides Through my experiences, this seems to be mostly true. But I don't think this dude is arrogant or prideful at all.
@lionchez The problem with America especially is that, for people who believe this is all that life's about. The attainment of these things. They live shallow, empty lives. Afterwards, they look back and see why they're not happy so psychiatrists and doctors will be quick to diagnose it as "depression" Then they take pills which cure it, but then lead to other problems which make them take more pills that do the same.

This is beautiful. Thank you so much. If only more theists saw what wonderful people atheists CAN be, they'd pay more attention. I disapprove of the "morality" argument. What is morality anyway? If only people realized how closer we would all become if we could openly discuss our philosophies without being spat upon...The world would be a much more beautiful place. *Sigh*, if only.
The issue is that people never see the good stuff. Some atheists paint theists in a light cast by the Westboro Baptist "church", or campus ministry crazies condemning everyone that passes by to hell, whereas the most outspoken atheists are people like Christopher Hitchens and, on Youtube for instance, the Rational Response Squad, and these are people who've not been known to have a soft hand or balanced tongue when dealing with theists. Everyone needs to chill.
YES, I believe in POSITIVE ATHEIST. I think Denmark and Sweden is, as for it's OWN PEOPLE ONLY and therefore are the MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE ON EARTH. Not racist, but religion is a WASTE OF TIME. It controls PEOPLE, it makes them SPECIAL because it has RULES which EXIST because they are NON_EXISTENT.
They come from nowhere, it's psychological SCREW UP. EVERY religion is contradictory, and bullshit and it's PHILOSOPHY that matters. my country therefore INDIA is the most shittiest place.
@patilnikh Positive ATHEISTS are always SOLID THIKERS and this is where it matters a lot to as a whole country. I ONLY WISH, Rabindranath tagore was BORN out of INDIA and MAHATMA GANDHIJI DESTRIYED our country because his emotional ways of controlling people. Positive ATHEISM does not do this, it's tries out to go the core.
Can't I say show me JESUS. Come out JESUS show yourself to me, but then are MANY REASONS to make up as for WHY HE WON'T SHOW UP. This is like ignorance.
@patilnikh Also, RELIGION divides people. How many of you here are BUDDHISTS, who never ate a chicken burger, never wore LEATHER JACKET, never wore SHOES made of animal wear. HAHAHA
RELIGION creates CASTES, DISCRMINATION, POWER and all the fuckin nonsense shit that originates FROM NO WHERE!!!!!
This religion shit is fuckin nonesense. BUDDHA wanted to see GOD and he failed in that clearly. This religion should be stopped, and
Sorry...iPad. Do you produce these videos On your own? The quality and the content are amazing. I would love to see your videos (especially your deconversion vid) make it beyond the YouTube community. You have real talent. Thanks for posting
This is sad, Obviously these " former christians" were never really saved or born again. because nobody would purposely move away from the truth once the holy spirit convicts you. Sadly there are many people who say they are christians who are in an unsaved state for certain reasons but they think they have it figuted out.
@brandisify Have you ever heard of the "no true scotsman" fallacy? I could equallly say that anyone claiming to have been an atheist that converted to a religion was never a "true" atheist. Because all "true" atheists come to that conclusion through reason and logic, which would mean that's it's impossible to be converted... ever.
Or, you could admit that you have no idea how someone thought or felt about a particular idea, and it's rude to say you know what was going on inside their head.
Oi, isn't that the guy who whines that he gets laughed at because of his stupid creationist ideas... the guy who inspired the great "Why people laugh at creationists"-series?
"Meant" to be unknown by whose intention, exactly? God's? I don't believe in God. So your statement is irrelevant unless you can demonstrate that God exists and that he intends for some things to be unknown.
Religious people really blow me away sometimes with these unjustified authoritative assertions that they seem to think atheists will accept unquestioningly just because they do.
I think the saying "you can't help those who don't wish to be helped" also applies to religion. That is why they call us possessed, they call us evil etc. They see our words as an attack.
*sigh* It appears my annotation at the beginning is still not explicit enough. If you had waited to watch the whole video, you would have seen in the second half that I debunk the arguments you so disapproved of in the first half.
@Evid3nc3 I've watched your videos and i have answers for all of your knocks on the Bible. the abraham thing, the judas thing , etc. you simply havent read the bible. But im more interested in how your life has changed since you let go of God so to speak. Has anything changed? besides the way you look at life. how do you live your personal life? based on ethics right? id love to have a healthy debate and try to help you see the whole picture. but also id like to know how your life is now
guys after watching hoax muslim scientific claims of we owe them much in science filled and so on other brainwashing videos around i typed positive atheisms and found this one thanx goodness can the video maker of it replied me where can i down load this and post in my chananel as my first mirror and first video post thanx a lot :)
@cvd316316 oblivious? i know what i believe. I know exactly what there is to know. I'm not dissing atheism. I'm sympathizing for you guys more than anything. I'm sorry you guys have no hope left, and this world and in the next.
@GosselinLuva Did you notice what I was commenting on? SensationalVoyage said 'Fuck Christ'. To which I said completely unneccesary, which it is. Being hateful towards someone will close thedoor to any real intellectual conversations about their beliefs.
Did you watch the video? I am perplexed that you could watch this video and think that we have no hope. It doesn't logically follow from what the video says at all. We have hope for creating positive change in the world. That is what the video is about.
(I was trying to reply to your other comment and accidentally clicked the trash button. It was not intentional and YT provides no way to undo such a deletion.)
@Evid3nc3 I disagree. I understand you want to make the world a better place and I APPLAUD your for that. I really do! And it's fine that your deleted my comment. :) And I didn't mean in this world as much as I meant the next. And I know you don't agree with that. But it's what I believe and I wish you the best.
@GosselinLuva we dont have heart attacks based on an excess of useless guilt. how exactly do you pity us? every pastor ive had was about dead at quite a young age. its not healthy. and my hope is that people stop being barbarians and start being adults, only children think the original spider-man comic book proves spider-mans existence.
There are people don't believe because they view the evidence and information we have gathered contradicts any theistic claims and doesn't support in any way that a deity can exist.
"LOL
How can you positively not believe in leprechaun's(fairies,unicorns,dragons)? thats idiotic. If you dont believe in it then you dont care about those fuckers "
The information available doesn't support them and we can say they don't exist with a large amount of certainty
Although I got a little worried where this was going with the clip in the beginning, this turned out to be a fantastic video. Thank you for this beautiful, poignant message.
I almost gave this a thumbs down and quit watching it at the beginning. Keep watching and keep an open mind. This whole video is actually really good.
usually i would hat atheist. but this video made me see you aren't so bad after all. but it's those who call us stupid for believing God is what pisses me off. But yeah, humanism is great and christians should have an open mind about that without losing their faith in God.
Well, after all what are you calling atheists ?, read what the bible says about us, listen to what the pope rappresenting over 1 billion catholics says about us.
So what do you care if an atheist calls you stupid, it's peanuts if comparison with what we are receiving from you.
There is no reason that Christians should fell victims when they have 90% of the media power in the would and they use it.
if you put it that way, it does sound awful. but since atheists know this is heartbreaking, i personally think they shouldn't treat christians that way too. maybe then, christians would realize this and both sides will tolerate and work together to make a better world. don't you think so too?
In Italy we have about 10 million atheists/agnostics and about 45 million Catholics, about 25 million of these are only traditional, never read the bible and go to church a few times a year, so they are believers but not true followers.
The church has an agreement still active since 1929 (Fascist Mussolini government) that gives them exclusive power and rights for teaching religion at school and placing the crucifix in every state buildings room.
In Italy a teacher did a survey because he found it incredible that there where only 2 out of 1300 students that was doing the alternative subject (ethics or history of religion), and found out that over 80% had selected alternative subject (signed by their parents) but where forced into the religion classes.
Even if the Jews or atheists are able to get their rights and do Ethics, they end up in a classroom with a big crucifix besides the teacher.
that's why christians should respect you as well as you respect them. see, all we need is mutual understanding. if you say christians are bad, not all are bad. if you say atheists are good, not all are good. so actually, no one is higher then the other..
When one side has the power of the media, when it gets exclusive state finance, when it gets exclusive rights in schools, when it has exclusive freedom of speech.
But what most atheists are doing today is defying God instead of using wisdom to discover the world. But let's set aside our differences and stop arguing. ok?
@lion95805 says "But what most atheists are doing today is defying God instead of using wisdom to discover the world. "
This is bullshit, 99% of all atheist couldn't care less about religion and don't talk about it.
I discuss about religion only on Internet.
Can't say the same for religious people especially Christians, where for instance in Italy, the pope and many of his gang members do often attack atheism in their normal monologue without anyway that can contradict them.
then you're an alright guy.. listen, i'm sorry for starting a fight with you, and i'm tired, i'd rather live my life with God than fighting in His name.. aren't you bored with our argument? it's taking us no where near our goals..
You are right, but how long should I go ahead turning the other cheek, it took me 40 years to come out, if you follow my messages in the various video, I revert to offence after ignoring attacks on me for many messages.
I always think that examples works, but unfortunately too many Christians think its their rights to offend atheists, they have divine moral support, they are doing a good deed to allow atheists to understand.
this is true! Religious people think its negative to be an athiest. I really want people to be happy. I really want world peace. I believe that people are good but religions keep us behind in evolution.
How do you justify this with logic, reason and science the concept of the basis of our American Freedom that; All Men are created equal? Does not science with evolution and natural selection disagree with this logic and show us it is in fact a dog eat dog world? Where does this assumed theory of all men being created equal come from if not from God? Is this true or just made up to make people be good?
To be fair, I'm not certain the Bible gives much indication that the God therein intended to create us all as equal. Two examples: 1) the 10 commandments speak of giving your slaves the day off on the sabbath, but does not enjoin you to release them from bondage, as you would an equal. 2) the Jews were said to be the "chosen people of God". That honestly sounds like they've been set upon a pedestal as not equal, but greater than the rest of the world's people.
(cont.) By contrast, the morality inscribed in the instinctual portion of our brain, by evolution and thousands of generations living as a social animal, seems a better source of the notion of "All men are created equal". With knowledge of this shared ancestry with all of nature, we can know that each of us is roughly the same number of steps away from some ancestor shared with another species (or many). It's a humbling and "equalizing" realization, don't you think? Thank you.
The placebo effect is very powerful. If a doctor comes convinces you a painkiller is powerful, you will feel little pain even if it's sugar. But those endorphins only kick in if you don't know you are being lied to.
The same with prayer. Many people cannot live without their belief in a god. It's a white lie that gives hope and purpose.
Why would I want to take that away from someone who wasn't already in the process of loosing it?
I know what you mean but if the choice is between a placebo and a real drug that has been proven, I say give them the real drug. We shouldnt force it on anyone (that doesn't work for most anyway), but let people know what we believe, why we believe it and let them make up their own minds.
Few placebos have side effects. However, Christianity and many other beliefs have side effects, ranging from personal loss of ability to think logically, to taking away the freedom of others for no reason other than words in a book.
I mostly agree with you TuucciZ, but studies have shown that "prayer is effective" if the person knows they are being prayed for, and believes that prayer works. Of course this only goes for thing the brain has some influence on, like pain.
But religion does enable people with purpose and peace, and I agree at a cost. It's easy to live without these beliefs if you grow up without religion or give up on faith early on. But for those who are taken in, giving up on religion is devastating.
Not everyone is psychologically strong enough to be able to live a happy /sane life without a belief in a god. I think lifetime atheists have difficulty relating to this. If someone's version of religion is minimally dangerous to those around them, and is integral to their happiness and sanity, is it worth poking holes in their beliefs for?
Unfortunately in islam, many people find a changing world view shows weakness and is not comparable to the solid, anchored wisdom of god.
They also feel that we are deluded of our own "power" to know the unknown, & thus our efforts of understanding the universe are futile.
Lastly, they believe we are trying to discourage them as we are deluded by the devil - so no matter what science may appear to answer today, will change & be proven false in a few years.
this is trying to say that science only proves atheism but the way i see it... it proves the bible to b true. just because we can use scientific "facts" doesn't mean we have to discount God... ppl use science to "prove" whatever they believe...
and th3king86 just PROVED that atheist r rude also
I am a christian and i respect the beliefs of Christians and atheist alike we should b able 2 debate facts without calling each other names
Well, I agree with you partly. There is certainly no need for name calling or being rude, and I enjoy a civil debate.
But I don't think science proves or disproves the Bible and the existance of God. Sure, science shows evolution to be true and that the earth is very old, so it rules out a literal interpretation of Genesis, but beyond that, how can something that deals with the natural world prove or disprove something supernatural?
@thelivingfreely I tend to disagree with you about people using science to prove what they believe. I find most scientists are happy to admit when they don't know something or can't explain it. I feel that religious people are more likely to try and interpret things in a way that 'prove' their pre-determined conclusion (that is, that God exists). As an Atheist I would question there is sufficient evidence to believe in God, rather than saying there is any evidence to disprove his existance.
Did you watch the whole video, or just spit out a comment a third of the way through? I think you'll find you're arguing against someone who completely agrees with you.
Ahh but it seems that maybe the first part of the video was actually recorded by someone other than this uploader. You can see a URL at the bottom of the window.
huh..wait a second, there was no threatening at all of eternal damnation if i DIDNT accept this view on life...makes you wonder who is pushing their beliefs on who. 5 stars fosho
@Voodoofreak35. That's because most often the religious are either historically ignorant, or pathological liars, all they have to do is look at some of many quotes on our Atheist channels. He was undoubtedly an Atheist.
Speaking of Einstein, GOD I AM REALLY FUCKING PISSED OFF AT THOSE FUCKING CHRISTIAN SMARTASSES QUOTING EINSTEIN LIKE HE WAS ONE OF THEM DUMB, MIND-FUCKED, JESUS FETISHED COCKSUCKERS!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! THE GREAT EINSTEIN WAS A FUCKING PHYSICIST, NOT A GUY WHO BELIEVES IN THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!
My only wish is... to transform friends of God into friends of man, believers into thinkers, devotees of prayer into devotees of work, candidates for the hereafter into students of the world, Christians who, by their own procession and admission, are "half animal, half angel" into persons, into whole persons. -- Ludwig Feuerbach (Lectures on the Essence of Religion)
well really there is nothing to fight about. If you are right and there is a God than good whatever, there should be no reason to get upset when people challenge your beliefs.
Since we all die anyways and realistically there is no afterlife or God, what is there to fight about? Some people can handle the truth and others need the comfort of religion. Simple as that
Well... some people like to shove their religion down other people's throats by using the force of law to enforce conformity to what their beliefs tell them is right instead of making their own judgements.
I believe everyone has the right to believe as their conscience dictates. I prefer that people choose to believe only things for which their is sufficient evidence, but I can't force that. However I do not recognize the rights of people to force their beliefs on others.
It may be like comparing apples to oranges, but I agree. After having looked at both, I find science to be far superior to any faith, religion, or belief system. Compared with all the hocus pocus of relgion, science is a breath of fresh air. And to think, science is still in its infancy!!
PS: About those manmade paths: everyone makes their own, from atheist to the killer to a Bishop lost in the distorted lineage of corrupted ideology--- and they all return, or lead back, to the Source that set the clockwork of nature into motion. Call that Source "Nature" or what you will, but from the quantum level to the macro, it permeates all.
I've been influenced by Eastern philosophy, and distill as much wisdom as I can from numerous faiths. My most influential Teacher would be Seth from The Seth Material, presented via Jane Roberts; and others such as Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath and Paramahansa Yogananda, Steven Sadleir, and those into the hard science of spirituality such as Gregg Braden, Steven Sadleir and Graham Hancock. (All available on YouTube and highly recommended--their books especially!)
All formalized religions from Western to Eastern are manmade paths through a dark wood, ultimately leading to the same clearing of brilliant light and Love.
I am not opposed to people's right to believe whatever they want. I do, however, think that Christianity is a bane on society with little if any redeeming value. I, personally, am trying to get rid of Christianity.
Good Video, It appeals to both logic & emotion. I have found most atheists to be very easy to talk to & engage in conversation. Actually easier than my fellow 'Christians'. lol
With someone as open-minded and rationally-minded as yourself, Tom, that is no surprise to me.
You will find in my next video that I was having eerily similar conclusions as you are with the professor giving me very similar responses as I am giving you now.
Keep trying to pull people out of Christianity. Your tactics are sly, smart, fetching. But, you fail to see the bigger picture. You fail to understand your depth of how far you are from reality.

The issue is that people never see the good stuff. Some atheists paint theists in a light cast by the Westboro Baptist "church", or campus ministry crazies condemning everyone that passes by to hell, whereas the most outspoken atheists are people like Christopher Hitchens and, on Youtube for instance, the Rational Response Squad, and these are people who've not been known to have a soft hand or balanced tongue when dealing with theists. Everyone needs to chill.

Because all "true" atheists come to that conclusion through reason and logic, which would mean that's it's impossible to be converted... ever.
Or, you could admit that you have no idea how someone thought or felt about a particular idea, and it's rude to say you know what was going on inside their head.

In Italy we have about 10 million atheists/agnostics and about 45 million Catholics, about 25 million of these are only traditional, never read the bible and go to church a few times a year, so they are believers but not true followers.
The church has an agreement still active since 1929 (Fascist Mussolini government) that gives them exclusive power and rights for teaching religion at school and placing the crucifix in every state buildings room.

In Italy a teacher did a survey because he found it incredible that there where only 2 out of 1300 students that was doing the alternative subject (ethics or history of religion), and found out that over 80% had selected alternative subject (signed by their parents) but where forced into the religion classes.
Even if the Jews or atheists are able to get their rights and do Ethics, they end up in a classroom with a big crucifix besides the teacher.

@WILLTHEWGMAN
To be fair, I'm not certain the Bible gives much indication that the God therein intended to create us all as equal. Two examples: 1) the 10 commandments speak of giving your slaves the day off on the sabbath, but does not enjoin you to release them from bondage, as you would an equal. 2) the Jews were said to be the "chosen people of God". That honestly sounds like they've been set upon a pedestal as not equal, but greater than the rest of the world's people.
npowell013 1 year ago 2
@WILLTHEWGMAN
(cont.) By contrast, the morality inscribed in the instinctual portion of our brain, by evolution and thousands of generations living as a social animal, seems a better source of the notion of "All men are created equal". With knowledge of this shared ancestry with all of nature, we can know that each of us is roughly the same number of steps away from some ancestor shared with another species (or many). It's a humbling and "equalizing" realization, don't you think? Thank you.

Here's my dilemma on atheistic evangelism.
The placebo effect is very powerful. If a doctor comes convinces you a painkiller is powerful, you will feel little pain even if it's sugar. But those endorphins only kick in if you don't know you are being lied to.
The same with prayer. Many people cannot live without their belief in a god. It's a white lie that gives hope and purpose.
Why would I want to take that away from someone who wasn't already in the process of loosing it?
Orriana 1 year ago
I know what you mean but if the choice is between a placebo and a real drug that has been proven, I say give them the real drug. We shouldnt force it on anyone (that doesn't work for most anyway), but let people know what we believe, why we believe it and let them make up their own minds.

Few placebos have side effects. However, Christianity and many other beliefs have side effects, ranging from personal loss of ability to think logically, to taking away the freedom of others for no reason other than words in a book.
TuucciZ 1 year ago
I mostly agree with you TuucciZ, but studies have shown that "prayer is effective" if the person knows they are being prayed for, and believes that prayer works. Of course this only goes for thing the brain has some influence on, like pain.
But religion does enable people with purpose and peace, and I agree at a cost. It's easy to live without these beliefs if you grow up without religion or give up on faith early on. But for those who are taken in, giving up on religion is devastating.

comment part 2:
Not everyone is psychologically strong enough to be able to live a happy /sane life without a belief in a god. I think lifetime atheists have difficulty relating to this. If someone's version of religion is minimally dangerous to those around them, and is integral to their happiness and sanity, is it worth poking holes in their beliefs for?

Unfortunately in islam, many people find a changing world view shows weakness and is not comparable to the solid, anchored wisdom of god.
They also feel that we are deluded of our own "power" to know the unknown, & thus our efforts of understanding the universe are futile.
Lastly, they believe we are trying to discourage them as we are deluded by the devil - so no matter what science may appear to answer today, will change & be proven false in a few years.

Well, I agree with you partly. There is certainly no need for name calling or being rude, and I enjoy a civil debate.
But I don't think science proves or disproves the Bible and the existance of God. Sure, science shows evolution to be true and that the earth is very old, so it rules out a literal interpretation of Genesis, but beyond that, how can something that deals with the natural world prove or disprove something supernatural?
MrIcarusflysagain 1 year ago
@thelivingfreely I tend to disagree with you about people using science to prove what they believe. I find most scientists are happy to admit when they don't know something or can't explain it. I feel that religious people are more likely to try and interpret things in a way that 'prove' their pre-determined conclusion (that is, that God exists). As an Atheist I would question there is sufficient evidence to believe in God, rather than saying there is any evidence to disprove his existance.
