Why do athiest ask questions about millions of years ago, and space stuff. It's pretty silly how far Athiest have to go, when we Christians have faith.
Folks free of the shackles of faith ask questions about the unknown to find the answers. That is why you are able to sit at your computer, in an air conditioned home with electricity, a phone, a TV, a car in the driveway and when you are sick you have medical science to help you get well and live a much longer and healthier life. If everyone was like you, we would still be living in the dark ages when religion and faith ruled the world.

Yet another misconception. God doesn't start to love someone after he/she makes the "decision" for Christ. The person repents and turns to Christ and lives by faith BECAUSE God has loved them from before the foundation of the world. In the beginning, after the fall of man, man and his descendants grew further and further from God.
They worshiped other gods... the thought of no god in ancient times was unheard of, but since the age of "enlightenment," people started living by sight completely.
You didn't really respond to anything I said. He doesn't love the people he will cast into Hell. Why would He send them there if He loved them? What I was trying to say before was that all of man goes their own way until God works in an individual's heart so that he/she repents and lives for the Christ for the rest of their life. Basically, some He has chosen to save, others He lets go their own way. You ask, why would He do that? Because if it was up to man alone, NO ONE would be saved.
This god you speak of is the worst of the worst. It is the god of Calvanism. This god creates billions of people with 95% destined for eternal hell fire. What an evil being you worship fiveofgrace, evil beyond imagination. How can you sleep at night believing you will spend eternity with such a evil creature? If it was up to mankind, everyone would go to heaven, everyone. Your evil god belief has your mind twisted in a knot, so you would send everyone but yourself to eternal hell fire.
Well technically, it is the God of the Bible. Why are they DESTINED for torture, because it is inevitable that they will NOT choose God. No one is forcing them to go their own way, they are doing it themselves. That's why it is said that there is not ONE righteous, there is none who seeks for God. One of the reasons is because they're too busy coming up with their own definitions of what evil is. What I meant was if it was up to man's MERIT, no one. Name's Brian by the way, what's yours?:)
Correct, the bible says no one is rightious Romans 3:10 and other places. At the same time it claims many folks were rightious and without sin. Gen 6:9, 7:1, I Kings 15:14, Job1:1-8, Luke 1:6, 2:25, Jas 5:16, II Peter 2:7-8. The bible also says that if you are a christian that you don't sin and can not commit sin. I John 3:6-9. So I ask you Brian, do you ever sin? If you do you are not saved.
It was a disgusting perversion of those who were stupid in ancient stupid times that killing someone could be a good deed for someone else. Perhaps it stems from a time when someone had to die because there wasn't enough food or someone had to die to defend the tribe from aggressors.
Either way, it is absolutely inexcusable to defend this insanity in this day and age.
Religion has held a taboo but this belief is not worthy of any kind of respect and is instead worthy of ridicule and contempt.
It's sad that this is true. That's why I am opting for cryonic preservation upon death. I hope to be reanimated when religion no longer has such a death-grip on humanity.
I wear a certain jacket when my college team plays, if that counts. I am open to the possibility of there being a spiritual realm to the cosmos, but hold nothing of that subject as a firm belief.

Netwriter, I really liked this vid. This one reminded me a bit of Yahtzee's game reviews at Zero Punctuation. There were a lot of points when I was laughing at your funny pictures that went along with the commentary.
The Bible also says don't yoke yourselves with unbelievers. You all can keep hating all u want but it won't change a thing. You can't change my beliefs no matter how hard u try. U may yell ignorance but I honestly don't give what you think. I'm done
There is no hate here, just pity. I blieve you hiddenhobbit, nothing can change your mind. Truth, nor facts, not even reality can rescue your mind from the brutal bloody bronze age fantasy world in which you live. You are branwashed and in the grip of a death cult. You are a lost cause.
Every time i pray to god, i cut my finger, to give my blood to speak to god. I mean, come on, Jesus my not have existed. I have to make sure my god hears me. And it works. 60% of time, it works all the time. So, cut your finger for god and show those dirty hitler atheist that god is real.
"Would expect a murderer to get out of life in prison, unless he had someone who instead took his punishment and let the murderer go free. Now u would say, why would anyone let a murderer go free? Because He loves us!"
That's not just, that's not just at all. Letting a murderer go free and punishing another person (no matter how willing) is ludicrous. And what sins did he die for? Original sin (the sin of being born human)? That sin is about as unjust as you can possibly get.
Original sin is the most bogus sin ever, we never asked to be born. We are born into debt and if we don't repay it we get tortured. What is God, some kind of galactic loan shark? And if it's all sins that are forgiven by Jesus (except apostasy, of course) then it's not just for all the people that are born into the wrong faith or those that work hard to be good people but don't believe. Either way that's SOME "perfect" justice system; it's at about the same level of justness as Saudi Arabia.
Well said, califoniania. Too bad the minds of those in the clutches of bronze age superstitions have had their ability to reason warped to the point that they can't even contemplate such crystal clear logic.
I understand where u are coming from. I, myself being a follower of Christ, believed that Christ died to satisfy the wrath of God against our sin. God is a just God. Sin cannot be in His presence. Jesus' sacrifice, His blood shed on our behalf, washes us clean of our sin and allows us to come into the presence of Almighty God.
Yes hiddenhobbit, this is the mindless twaddle every Christian drones on about. How does blood wash sin away? Why does a being capable of the creating the universe need blood? Please explain your god's obsession with the shedding of blood. Do you ever contemplate that this may all be just the invention of brutal bronze age savages. It seems to fit the mentality of ignorant ancient men, not an omnipotent and omniscient god.
Because He is perfect! He is just! Would expect a murderer to get out of life in prison, unless he had someone who instead took his punishment and let the murderer go free. Now u would say, why would anyone let a murderer go free? Because He loves us! Also, why is it ignorant? One more thing, please do not say that you were a Christian for 40 years. You weren't. You will be in my prayers and I hope that you find God someday, and that He saves you from this grievous hate.
"God is a just God. Sin cannot be in His presence" - hiddenhobbit
Your bible claims god is omnipresent, yet you claim he can not be in the presence of sin. So which is the truth? Is god everywhere, or can he not be everywhere? Is your god not what the bible claims he is, is his supposed omnipresence limited? Please clear this up for us. Are you intellectually honest enough to admit that your rationalization for blood sacrifice is total crap?
If I'm supposed to have an open mind as atheists say I am supposed to, so do you guys. Not that He can't be in the presence of sin, rather sin cannot be in His presence. How are we not eradicated then instantly if God is everywhere? Rather, do u see God face to face every day? Also, the Bible does say that The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The bible says all kinds of silly things, like it is OK to own slaves, to kill your neighbor for working on the sabbath, to stone your children to death for acting up, that a god can die, that what you do is of no importance, only what you believe. It claims spiritual guidance by the holy spirit yet there are 10K sects of christianity all believing a different interpretation of the same old book. When you can prove your book is trustworthy and by any god, present proof.
We are still waiting for you to explain how this blood thing works, hiddenhobbit. Why does a being capable of creating the cosmos need blood? How does blood wash away sin? If my son commits a crime can I cut his puppy's throat and wash that crime away. If not why not. Animal blood did the trick for thousands of years. Why doesn't it work now. Did your unchanging god change? Please clear this up for us or admit you are both clueless and gullible.
"The Bible does say that The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
If I ever get around to inventing my own religion, I'm going to include that. "for thou shalt know that it is true, because it makes no sense. And if it seems reasonable, then it is a lie of the evil one. Therefore, believe, and it'll all make sense.
It must really suck for god, you know - sending all of the millions of people to hell to burn forever, just because they didn't believe in him. I mean he created us all and loves us. It must be hard up there in heaven with all of that sadness. Or is he happy that all of his children are suffering?
lol, i just got done talking with a theist about the " sacrifice." once he/she got to circular reasoning though, i just had to stop talking to him. hes too far gone to be reasoned with or talked to -,-;
So you are an Essene, Geeknerd? I didn't know there were any of them left. Weren't they killed off by the Catholics before they started killing the pagans off?
Yeah, I don't understand as well the whole issue between the Christian understanding of "unconditional love" or "all-loving" is. When I pointed out before that one is saved by the grace of their god alone, and not by any action, and that accepting Jesus as a savior would be an action, they quickly rationalize (this is not the same as reasoning) their oddball beliefs that accepting Jesus is not an action, or that "action" means deeds only.
The reason why I was fooled by x-tianity for ten years is because i thought it explained the experiences i had with energy. X-tians call spiritual feelings, precognitions and synchronicities, the "holy spirit".
I used to think that saying to xians "I understand how convincing yourself to believe that stuff makes you happy."
But...actually....I DON'T understand HOW they could believe it, or, really, WHY it would even make them happy.
Now I see that what makes them happy is the abandonment of ALL RESPONSIBILITY for difficult, rational dealings with a confusing and often brutal world.
They cast away their mind to avoid....CONFUSION! ;)
Good video but the most important thing is missing. The neurological anomaly that makes people, including the highly educated, to accept absurd irrational deluded beliefs as if they were reality.
Religious beliefs or faith in a god is simply an acceptable name given to a delusions inducing schizotypal disorder that makes people retarded despite their intelligence.
We are born atheist(no belief).A Christian insisting god loves you is no different than a schizophrenic saying Alien Zor loves you
"The neurological anomaly that makes people, including the highly educated, to accept absurd irrational deluded beliefs as if they were reality."
My hunch is maybe because they were afraid that there is nothingness after death. And because of this, absurd ideas such as the holy scriptures were readily accepted wide arms open. Not different from the time of osiris.
If we didn't bother when we were not born yet, why would we bother after we die? Ooops I forget they can't be reasoned with.
frankie6092:"because they were afraid that there is nothingness after death. And because of this, absurd ideas such as the holy scriptures were readily accepted wide arms open"
The problem rest on religious psychosis infected parents & the religious-psychosis infected society in which they live.
If after 7 years of age children begin to be educated in the fact the BRAIN is the creator of gods & this belief can be used as entertainment for the brain, we wouldn't have this retarded problem
Religion only survives why brainwashing CHILDREN. They are abusing this children. I child will believe whatever their parents say. Say it enough and it becomes part of them.
This is why I hate religion so much, not because it exists, but how it has continued to exist. Through mind fucking these children.
Love Their God or BURN IN HELL....Now that's about as conditional as you can get. And they say if you don't love that idea You Have The Problem...they say! I say to hell with that!
Gary, thanks for this video, its like I said, how can any reasonable person love a blood lusting cretin of a god like this even if he was real? Its like this claimed boogeyman of theirs commands love not earns it.
Also, why do christians, the majority of them on YouTube censor comments, disable ratings and then cruse you out like a dog when you counter argue them? Like you said, they want you to give up all rational thought and reasoning, I mean come on! They claim their god created all things, so god created the problem, then creates the solution, why cause the problem to begin with if your omnipotent? Divine Perfect plan, pure rubbish and mythology.
Iron fist? I'd say "iron ignorance, and the fear/assertion that there's an iron fist that'll beat the shit outta you if you don't accept whatever they tell you"...
I have never understood the need of a blood sacrifice. Why is it necessary for Jesus to be tortured to death so God can forgive our sins? And Jesus is God, also. All of this blood-letting in the past makes no sense to me. It is horrible!
sparklingcolors, This brought to mind something I read out of Dan Barker's book, Losing Faith in Faith:
"A cross is not beautiful. It is an emblem of humiliation, agony, and death, no matter how you look at it. It represents a public execution, like a gallows, guillotine, or gas chamber...Try to picture a steeple supporting an electric chair, or imagine people wearing noose jewelry!"
Imagine that Jesus was executed by firing squad. Then you'd have people wearing little rifle jewelry, and praying before images of the "holy rifle."
I can hear the altar call now: "Ready on the right. Ready on the left. Ready on the firing line. Ready, take aim, FIRE! OH, THE BLESSED BULLETS! HALLELUJAH!"
lol To quote Lenny Bruce, "And youre lucky he [Jesus] didnt come along in the 20th century, or all those parochial school kids would be wearing a little electric chair around their necks."
Dan Barker had something to say about bullets as he continues:
"Suppose someone saved your life by blocking a terrorists attack, but died from the bullets. Would you hang little gold machine guns on your ears? Would you want to be confronted with the grisly details, day after day?"
it's interesting you brought up noose jewelry rhonda. back when pirates of the carribean 3 was released there was a jeweler that had made such a set think it was a noose pendant and earings which was supposed to commemorete the movie. many people took great offense at the significance and the line was dropped. and rightly so...
hellshade2, When people venerate brutality and violence as something beautiful, I think its important that people call them out on it. Yet many decent people never give much thought about the symbols they revere, in that way. It would be interesting to know how many Christians took offense to the noose jewelry, yet never gave their cross a second thought.
I've never understood why a deity needs our affection? Why would an infinite being need or want our "praise and worship?" Why would he she or it have affection for us? I would think an infinite intelligence, one which was omniscient, would be beyond emotions of any kind. This is and has always clearly been humans projecting their own emotions on to the universe.
I too find it amusing that not only is their God's love based purely on their worship to him (vanity), but that the bad actions of one person makes us all sinners forever, while any good deeds do not grant the same.
I am sure you will get many here making excuses for this conditional love.
So pointless, just stop trying to convert each other you retards, if you don't want to believe in a god, than don't, if you do, than do. Both sides are constantly in a conversion war of believe or don't believe, everyone just be happy with their own beliefs.
Disregard the irony of this message.

Well technically, it is the God of the Bible. Why are they DESTINED for torture, because it is inevitable that they will NOT choose God. No one is forcing them to go their own way, they are doing it themselves. That's why it is said that there is not ONE righteous, there is none who seeks for God. One of the reasons is because they're too busy coming up with their own definitions of what evil is. What I meant was if it was up to man's MERIT, no one. Name's Brian by the way, what's yours?:)

Correct, the bible says no one is rightious Romans 3:10 and other places. At the same time it claims many folks were rightious and without sin. Gen 6:9, 7:1, I Kings 15:14, Job1:1-8, Luke 1:6, 2:25, Jas 5:16, II Peter 2:7-8. The bible also says that if you are a christian that you don't sin and can not commit sin. I John 3:6-9. So I ask you Brian, do you ever sin? If you do you are not saved.

It was a disgusting perversion of those who were stupid in ancient stupid times that killing someone could be a good deed for someone else. Perhaps it stems from a time when someone had to die because there wasn't enough food or someone had to die to defend the tribe from aggressors.
Either way, it is absolutely inexcusable to defend this insanity in this day and age.
Religion has held a taboo but this belief is not worthy of any kind of respect and is instead worthy of ridicule and contempt.

It's sad that this is true. That's why I am opting for cryonic preservation upon death. I hope to be reanimated when religion no longer has such a death-grip on humanity.

"Would expect a murderer to get out of life in prison, unless he had someone who instead took his punishment and let the murderer go free. Now u would say, why would anyone let a murderer go free? Because He loves us!"
That's not just, that's not just at all. Letting a murderer go free and punishing another person (no matter how willing) is ludicrous. And what sins did he die for? Original sin (the sin of being born human)? That sin is about as unjust as you can possibly get.
califoniania 3 years ago
Original sin is the most bogus sin ever, we never asked to be born. We are born into debt and if we don't repay it we get tortured. What is God, some kind of galactic loan shark? And if it's all sins that are forgiven by Jesus (except apostasy, of course) then it's not just for all the people that are born into the wrong faith or those that work hard to be good people but don't believe. Either way that's SOME "perfect" justice system; it's at about the same level of justness as Saudi Arabia.
califoniania 3 years ago 2
Well said, califoniania. Too bad the minds of those in the clutches of bronze age superstitions have had their ability to reason warped to the point that they can't even contemplate such crystal clear logic.
Netwriter 3 years ago
I understand where u are coming from. I, myself being a follower of Christ, believed that Christ died to satisfy the wrath of God against our sin. God is a just God. Sin cannot be in His presence. Jesus' sacrifice, His blood shed on our behalf, washes us clean of our sin and allows us to come into the presence of Almighty God.
hiddenhobbit 3 years ago
Yes hiddenhobbit, this is the mindless twaddle every Christian drones on about. How does blood wash sin away? Why does a being capable of the creating the universe need blood? Please explain your god's obsession with the shedding of blood. Do you ever contemplate that this may all be just the invention of brutal bronze age savages. It seems to fit the mentality of ignorant ancient men, not an omnipotent and omniscient god.
Netwriter 3 years ago
Because He is perfect! He is just! Would expect a murderer to get out of life in prison, unless he had someone who instead took his punishment and let the murderer go free. Now u would say, why would anyone let a murderer go free? Because He loves us! Also, why is it ignorant? One more thing, please do not say that you were a Christian for 40 years. You weren't. You will be in my prayers and I hope that you find God someday, and that He saves you from this grievous hate.

"God is a just God. Sin cannot be in His presence" - hiddenhobbit
Your bible claims god is omnipresent, yet you claim he can not be in the presence of sin. So which is the truth? Is god everywhere, or can he not be everywhere? Is your god not what the bible claims he is, is his supposed omnipresence limited? Please clear this up for us. Are you intellectually honest enough to admit that your rationalization for blood sacrifice is total crap?
Netwriter 3 years ago
If I'm supposed to have an open mind as atheists say I am supposed to, so do you guys. Not that He can't be in the presence of sin, rather sin cannot be in His presence. How are we not eradicated then instantly if God is everywhere? Rather, do u see God face to face every day? Also, the Bible does say that The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
hiddenhobbit 3 years ago
The bible says all kinds of silly things, like it is OK to own slaves, to kill your neighbor for working on the sabbath, to stone your children to death for acting up, that a god can die, that what you do is of no importance, only what you believe. It claims spiritual guidance by the holy spirit yet there are 10K sects of christianity all believing a different interpretation of the same old book. When you can prove your book is trustworthy and by any god, present proof.
Netwriter 3 years ago
We are still waiting for you to explain how this blood thing works, hiddenhobbit. Why does a being capable of creating the cosmos need blood? How does blood wash away sin? If my son commits a crime can I cut his puppy's throat and wash that crime away. If not why not. Animal blood did the trick for thousands of years. Why doesn't it work now. Did your unchanging god change? Please clear this up for us or admit you are both clueless and gullible.

"The Bible does say that The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
If I ever get around to inventing my own religion, I'm going to include that. "for thou shalt know that it is true, because it makes no sense. And if it seems reasonable, then it is a lie of the evil one. Therefore, believe, and it'll all make sense.

mecher3k 3 years ago
Yeah, I don't understand as well the whole issue between the Christian understanding of "unconditional love" or "all-loving" is. When I pointed out before that one is saved by the grace of their god alone, and not by any action, and that accepting Jesus as a savior would be an action, they quickly rationalize (this is not the same as reasoning) their oddball beliefs that accepting Jesus is not an action, or that "action" means deeds only.

I used to think that saying to xians "I understand how convincing yourself to believe that stuff makes you happy."
But...actually....I DON'T understand HOW they could believe it, or, really, WHY it would even make them happy.
Now I see that what makes them happy is the abandonment of ALL RESPONSIBILITY for difficult, rational dealings with a confusing and often brutal world.
They cast away their mind to avoid....CONFUSION! ;)

Good video but the most important thing is missing. The neurological anomaly that makes people, including the highly educated, to accept absurd irrational deluded beliefs as if they were reality.
Religious beliefs or faith in a god is simply an acceptable name given to a delusions inducing schizotypal disorder that makes people retarded despite their intelligence.
We are born atheist(no belief).A Christian insisting god loves you is no different than a schizophrenic saying Alien Zor loves you
calpurnpiso 3 years ago 3
"The neurological anomaly that makes people, including the highly educated, to accept absurd irrational deluded beliefs as if they were reality."
My hunch is maybe because they were afraid that there is nothingness after death. And because of this, absurd ideas such as the holy scriptures were readily accepted wide arms open. Not different from the time of osiris.
If we didn't bother when we were not born yet, why would we bother after we die? Ooops I forget they can't be reasoned with.

The problem rest on religious psychosis infected parents & the religious-psychosis infected society in which they live.
If after 7 years of age children begin to be educated in the fact the BRAIN is the creator of gods & this belief can be used as entertainment for the brain, we wouldn't have this retarded problem

I have never understood the need of a blood sacrifice. Why is it necessary for Jesus to be tortured to death so God can forgive our sins? And Jesus is God, also. All of this blood-letting in the past makes no sense to me. It is horrible!
sparklingcolors 3 years ago 5
sparklingcolors, This brought to mind something I read out of Dan Barker's book, Losing Faith in Faith:
"A cross is not beautiful. It is an emblem of humiliation, agony, and death, no matter how you look at it. It represents a public execution, like a gallows, guillotine, or gas chamber...Try to picture a steeple supporting an electric chair, or imagine people wearing noose jewelry!"
Rhonda9 3 years ago 3
Imagine that Jesus was executed by firing squad. Then you'd have people wearing little rifle jewelry, and praying before images of the "holy rifle."
I can hear the altar call now: "Ready on the right. Ready on the left. Ready on the firing line. Ready, take aim, FIRE! OH, THE BLESSED BULLETS! HALLELUJAH!"

hellshade2, When people venerate brutality and violence as something beautiful, I think its important that people call them out on it. Yet many decent people never give much thought about the symbols they revere, in that way. It would be interesting to know how many Christians took offense to the noose jewelry, yet never gave their cross a second thought.

I've never understood why a deity needs our affection? Why would an infinite being need or want our "praise and worship?" Why would he she or it have affection for us? I would think an infinite intelligence, one which was omniscient, would be beyond emotions of any kind. This is and has always clearly been humans projecting their own emotions on to the universe.
ChuckyJesus666 3 years ago 13
I too find it amusing that not only is their God's love based purely on their worship to him (vanity), but that the bad actions of one person makes us all sinners forever, while any good deeds do not grant the same.
I am sure you will get many here making excuses for this conditional love.
