  • @FlintLockWonder haha first off im not a lil kid bitch n 2nd where white ppl slaves? i dont fuckin think so, so unless ur grandparents or great grandparents were born into slavery i wouldnt be talking CRACKER

  • @xDisasterzFear Do you not know what racism is? Mexicans weren't slaves either but if you call them certain names it is still racism.Racism is pretty much making fun of another race.Last time i checked the race of White people is indeed a race.By the way you must be a child to confuse ''were'' with ''where'' and to spell little like ''lil'' or in like ''n''.

  • @xDisasterzFear you just demonstrated your ignorance by asking whether white people were slaves. please google 'white slavery'. or to make things simpler, ask yourself abou tthe history of australia. white slavery happened during a long forgotten epoch. yes, poor whites were polishing silverware for rich whites, once upon a time. it happened, wake up!

I was born in this country, and yeah I'm not proud of alot of the people in this failing society, but when you generalize like that, it makes makes me want to defend something I dont necessarily believe in, Im not a big fan of America, I live here I was born here, but I'm not a "stupid hick".

  • i do NOT mena to be rude here but.....can he do photosynthesis?i mean if he can he has a gift not a curse.....if humans can do photosynthesis we can actually produce our own food!

  • they are a kind of wart that he has, not plant substance. so no, he cant. no harm no faul.

  • he's not actually a tree, those are actually warts, but he has a genetic fault in it that is less than 1 in a million chance to get which causes his body to not be able to control the warts

  • He thinks god gave him that disease.... HPV is an STD..

  • how can it be and an STD if he got it by cutting his knee?

    cutting your knee isn't exactly a sexual act...

  • HPV (human papillomavirus) is a sexually transmitted disease.

  • lol 00:30 lol ...y are they doing that to him?lol...

  • .............hahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahah

  • RPDGIRL.....you have no idea what your saying...God himself calls Jesus God....go and read....i never said its Jesus's fault. i basically said that the treeman has to repent so that he may be healed spiritually and physically...the devil is granted power when poeple introduse sin in the body.. read Romans chapter 6 vers 12-14 and youll understand what you never knew. stuborn poeple that you are.

  • How cruel you are to say that this disease is due to sin. This is a genetic anomaly.

  • Well...everyone has there own openion and here's mine.Jesus is not a God..Jesus is the Son of god.. wich means he a king...and the reason this man... that's called the ''TREEMAN'' has that Diseas is becouse of Inperfection so dont blame Jesus or God for what's happening it's not there fault..so much is Satan's fault.I hope this man Find's a cure..

  • if its not Jesus Christ you believe in, your faith is dead in its self period..because Jesus Christ is God and he CANNOT be replaced by no other and under no other name on this earth or in heaven is salvation. si if this tree man repents of his sin after he gives his heart to Christ Jesus, he might be healed just like its written..

  • Comment removed

  • So no, this is not the Devil's magic, this is a disease which he has unfortunately caught. This is why I hate super-religious people. It's always God or Satan's doing for fucking everything in your minds. Not trying to sound rude such as swearing but really the idea is just plain idiotic in my opinion. And I'm not bagging on religion either, my father is a devote Lutheran and I think that their might be something out there, but I don't say it all HAS to be based on purity and impurity.

  • Dude who said it was because he sinned? If you said that then your a frekin idiot. God is testing his faith. He would have his reward at the end of his life.

  • @octalks2u

    last time i checked, giving ones heart to jesus doesn't give them "salvation". Forgivness and salvation is a gift from god through jesus christ. You're basically saying "I can give myself salvation if I repent, if I give my heart" you're leaving his grace completely out of the picture. I'm sorry but you fail at theology. Besides, Hitler killed tons of people and he looked like a decent man, sin has nothing to do with disease. I win, you loose.

  • you lose (not loose) for believing in that bull shit

  • God is very unlikely (0.00000001% in my opinion) and jesus is a story people use to control other gaining power and wealth...Free yourself from the mind numbing effects of religion..

  • read James 5:14-16

  • I think your all crazy Islam christian etc their made up tales go a head and tell me I'm going to hell ....since you like taking your gods job ...buy the way If you are right Ill see you there

  • i got one question tho how did the whole world find out about jesus when he was only in one country ?

  • christian spread his word around the world, called em pilgrimages, crusades, the spanish inquisition, people have been tortured until they renounced they're old religion and accepted jesus christ as they're lord and savior

  • well thats not completely fair. the bible does say Jesus heals but it also says God punishes us. whether he is a christian and saved or not God could just be punishing him for sin. theres hell to punish those who commit the unforgivable sin of dying without accepting Jesus as their savior but God can still punish people for their sins in their earthly life as well.

  • if god punishes people like this then what does the devil do?

  • Satan doesn't really punish people. He tempts people to sin

  • It just a disease not a punishment beside it start when he was a teen So what could he have done so bad by then maybe a past life I dont think so it just a disease and he unlucky that he got it ....diseases happen to us all.... it is just natural

  • Your a slave...free your mind..wake up!!!

  • Bazaargrl. each day someone dies despite prayers and hopes for a miracle. the treeman gave up home in his despair. give him a damn break.

    btw im a christian who doesnt believe you need to preach. preacher are usually hyprocrites themselves

  • Indonesia is mostly muslim so there is a good chance that he actually does beleive in the same god as you. You simply disagree as to who was the last prophet of God. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim religios all share the same god, but differ when it comes to Christ, Mohammed etc.

  • they say they're warts but it is actual wood or what?

  • the warts have gone outta control and have hardened, they're warts, not wood, just look like wood

  • Its still not being forced, its called scare tactics, that doesn't mean you know longer have free will, if you truly have no belief in a religion, then why would threats of spending eternity in hell scare you? If you don't believe in something, how can you be scared of the consequences of not following it. Even if you didn't bring your child up christian, but lived in a christian household, its likely they'll grow up believing in God, and when their older, they can make there own choices.

  • The Christian religion isn't supposed to be about hell, but for many it has become that. It's supposed to be about compassion and forgiveness, but because the god depicted throughout the old testament is such a tyrant the focus shifts from mercy to fear. The whole thing is based upon a fear eternal damnation. So telling your children from a young age that if they don't do X,Y,Z they will burn in hell isn't strictly forcing them, it is brainwashing. The results are the same.

  • If I may....No religion is forced upon someone, you believe it of your own free will. Gunzkevin, I must agree with you in one respect.

    However, A religion as a whole is not forced upon you, its people within the religion that force there religious values on you. You shouldn't blame an entire faith for what a small minority do, most religions preach extremely good morals. Can you honestly say an atheist or agnostic person has never tried to force their beliefs upon you.

  • But it IS forced on people, namely children. If you are told from a very young age that you will be tortured for all eternity unless you believe in God, then it is being forced.  Free will does not come into it when you are under that kind of fear.

  • Jack-asses starting an argument on a youtube video about something deeply moveing >=l and bickering like immature humans rather then inteligent beings.... So sad and frustraiting to lay my eyes apon.

  • Oh, and;

    weverproductions, Your an idiot.

    "but being a christian is not a religion it is a relationship with god."

    -tut-

  • Diamonddust22,

    Very nicely put.

    "Higher Powers" were fantisized to explain things like; Lightning storms, Hurricanes, and many other natural wonders. These things not only aroused our curiousity, but also frightened the wits out of us.

    We devised stories to help reassure those of us who were scared, and to help those of us who were curious, understand.

    I could say similar things about childrens bed time stories.

  • PrepareToBeDazzled finally someone with intellegence that understands the illusion of religion. Thanks for being a wonderful voice of reason my friend. I gave you a thumbs up because on here they give you a thumbs down if they don't like your opinion. Bloody kids.

  • But, thats like most religious people...

    "Shun the none believer"

    When ever I've tried to get into a conversation with someone who follows a religion, almost immediately, a defence mechanism clicks into place, and I hit a blank, and sometimes very thick wall.

    I've even had this said to me;

    "But its poinless talking about it, because you've just proven I'm right. Why are you interested in God/religion, if your so firm in being Athiest. You must clearly think there's something else."

    ...

  • PrepareToBeDazzled if you don't agree with religious people, they call you names like, athiest, blasphemous, and they villinize and demonize all that you say and believe. Sometimes you can't teach an old cult member new tricks. Religion is like a disease, you simply have to walk away because religious people shut themselves off to the outside world and to other forms of ideas and realities.

  • Nicely said diamondust22.....

  • clm200 thank you my friend.  I truly appreciate people who can see reason.

  • im a christian and proud of it

  • Dr. Gregory House would cure this in a day or two

  • True

  • i really hope he gets better from doctors.

  • holy shit??!?!?!

  • some people have no clue about god like the guy below god dont make or give deseases if and he cant always help us its called free will people if he starts giving you things or taking then we might aswell have no free will and let him sort our life out damn ppl piss me off when something bad happens its always gods fault when its our own

  • I will NOT surrender to a so called god that gives me that "curse"/disease...WTF people!!..test my faith by fucking me all over & then "watch me from the skyes" like if I am under a microscope? If people really believe that, they are more delusional than in Egypt times.

  • yes. curse those delusional Egyptians who came up with a calender that we still definitely don't use today. what were they thinking when they theorized the earth rotates 365 1/4 times per year? man were they stupid. im sure glad they didn't invent any mathematic formulas. we'd be lost..

  • god i hope there will be an end to his suffering!

  • what about the guy at 0:28? does he have the disease too?

  • the american doctor just wanted to experiment on him

  • that's good at least he received help to feel better

  • i hope they find a cure for him =[

  • i feel so sorry for him suffering for all those years...we should be greatfull for what we have and not take them for granted hope they find a cure

  • hahaha yeah ok

  • You're on GLUE.

  • Or you could follow one of the other religions which are equally full of garbage. Freedom of choice. God cannot heal this man because he has not done it already. The only person who can heal him is a qualified surgeon. Is god a qualified surgeon? No, he isn't. Therefore treeman needs to look further than something he doesn't even know exists. No miracles have taken place apart from those in the bible which was probably written by a raving lunatic.

  • Dear boy, who do you think created the surgeon? God hasn't healed him yet the same way he didn't heal Lazarus when he was sick. When he waited until Lazarus died, and then raised him from the dead, it astounded people a lot more. You see, God has a plan. And his plan is for this dear man to be healed by a surgeon. Any questions?

  • I'm Jewish :)

    I think evolution created the surgeon, though, and that the surgeon either wanted to help people or a highly paid job.

  • god has a plan. his plan is to fuck with ignorant humans and then trick them into thinking it was all part of a plan to make them stronger. to "test" their faith, even though he already knows the outcome of the "test."

    he truly is an awesome god!

  • yea. and the best part is, he offers us forgiveness and redemption free of charge. so even if you have a view like that, you can still be forgiven.

  • Like most deists, christians especially, you've completely missed the point.

    if god is in control, then logically he is also responsible for my skepticism since he made me and everything else. if he's not responsible for my skepticism (my ability to reason), then you're saying that there are things outside of god's control. in which case we're right back at the start of this argument.

    we need to forgive ourselves instead of looking to the stars to explain things we don't understand.

  • no need to be condescending. i wouldnt say that its out of God's control. but he gave us freedom of choice. he let's us choose our own path. if we choose to reject him, its our choice. God isn't a dictator. and if reasoning is your thing (i hate using this arguement but whatever) what about creation? how did everything form? you cant create order from chaos. something had to have formed it. it wasn't just there. what would have created it?

  • people used drill holes in their heads to let "the demons" out. but as it turns out they were just epileptic.

    there are many, many things we do not understand. but that's no reason to start making up fairy tales to explain the gaps.

    where did god come from?

  • God is a deity. He has always been. past, present, future. time has no beginning and no end. nor does God. our universe wasn't created first. and its not the last either. there are some things that logic cannot explain. everything from creation down to how perfectly our circulatory system works. how does a heart beat constantly without resting? where did you come from?

  • don't know. don't care. it's irrelevant.

    just because we haven't figured everything out yet, doesn't mean those problems don't have perfectly logical explanations.

    we, that is humanity, are wont to make up fantastic tales (the great flood) when the knowledge doesn't yet exist to explain these phenomena (end of the ice age).

    who's to say that reality as we know it isn't eternal? that it just always has been and always will be, regardless of whether or not we are here to perceive it..

  • how is it irrelevant? how were you created? who designed you? who designed any human or any species? it didnt just happen. something had to have created it.

    maybe there isn't an answer to everything. and if there is, the answer might be inconceivable.

    how is it a fantastic tale? the Bible isn't a storybook. think of it as a historic document. the places documented then are still here today.

    exactly. God is a part of reality, which is eternal. even if were not here to perceive him he's real.

  • god, the benevolent father, deciding to kill all living things, which he created, because of sin that he also created is madness. complete and utter nonsense.

    then there's the whole Noah bit... he fits one male and one female of every "clean" animal, two males/females of every "unclean" animal, seven of every bird and "every kind of creature that moves along the ground" onto a boat about the size of a modern oil tanker. food? fresh water?

    fantastical bullshit.

  • xthatx90sxshowx the bible was written by men who put in, and took out pages over 2000 years to suit the agenda for that specific time period. I do not say God, I say higher power. Religion and the bible are human inventions designed to control the human population through fear, self doubt, and confusion. Religion is a cult run by brainwashed cult members. Acknowledging a higher power is understand there is something beyond yourself. Religion is for under developed mental capacities.

  • religion isnt a cult. some religions have cults following them. Christianity is not a cult. we have a set doctrine and we never change it. however, cults who claim to be followers such as jehova's witnesses are false. i acknowledge the "higher power" i.e. God, by following his word. call me crazy, stupid, mental, ignorant, whatever you can think of. its what i believe in. i'm not ashamed of it. if i may, do you consider atheism to be a religion?

  • xthatx90sxshowx 99% of Christians live their lives in fear and superstition who have labels for anyone outside the realm of their own beliefs. Atheism is a religious persons word for anyone who doesn't follow their regime. I do believe their is a higher power, or an other power to acknowledge something beyond my own existence. Religion was and is a human invention, and always will be. Religion creates a fear, and self doubt to cause the masses to gravitate towards the only governing power

  • but being a christian is not a religion it is a relationship with god.

  • weverproductions sorry Christianity is a religion, and anyone can have a relationship with god, it isn't just for Christians. Anyone who wants to talk to god, can talk to god. Christians are so special that God only talks to you. I do believe in a higher power, and if I want to talk to him, I will, and I don't have to Christian. Stop telling people it's not a religion, cause it is, and has been for 2000 years.

  • i dont want to get in a fight with you and with all respect you dont have to be a christian to talk to god i never said that .

  • uh no..

    being when did n e one way n e thing about talking to God consist u of being christian or in ur eye being part of a "religion"

    i will give u a fight since that guy doesnt wanna argue

    i love to debate about religion cuz its always the smart guys in science/or the guy who very analytical who always want

    to say such stupid things..

    matter fact

    i will debate wit u as long as u want..

    but wat ever u do dnt call my way of life a clut or religion religion is much less then christianity

  • jamalb1993sbcglobal I think you should put your cell phone away, and pick up a book, some paper, and a pencil and learn how to talk, read, and write. Who says, I believe in only Science? Your downfall is, you assume you know me. You are very ego driven, and your own head is in the way of seeing things with a clear vision. Religion was created my man, to control large populations. Like it or not, you are all being fooled, conditioned, and brainwashed.

  • Your wrong, I'm wrong, we're all wrong. The world is better off destroyed.

  • TheReaICarlito in a way, you are right. Human beings are plagued with a condition...the human condition.

  • That is completely your opinion that people are being "fooled, conditioned, and brainwashed. ", you do not know for a fact that Jesus or God are not real. There is no proof to support the "big bang" but it would take someone with a very imaginative brain to write the whole bible. The way I see it is, why not just believe? What do you have to lose? Not that much, but if God does turn out to be real, i think you would be wishing you had believed. Maybe you will the 3rd time he comes.

  • up let me change that to sophomore before u claim i cnt spell either..OOH>.>...

    n e way i was a sophomore classified as a junior..

    hmm

    and nt just dat

    on my english AP test..we shouldnt even mention it...was to simple

    and on my ap world history test i found it real funny how illiterate i was when i missed 2 of say the 70 questions and i wrote a avg of 7 on every essay out of a possible 9

    ur probably a historian (IDK IM JUST SAYN BEFORE U BASH ON HOW MUCH I DNT KNW U MORE)

    alot of u ...

  • in closing..

    b4 u come at me wit ur bs about who incompetant i am

    u should check ur own ego since u knw so much about the world and how im being brainwashed ok

    since u think u kno so much about religion has the aztec/incas handwriting been depicted??

    if so how do u kno..

    cuz u really dnt knw funny how an 15 year old kid in band ?? is has a big ego

    lmao

    funny stuff

    now let me break this down fa u buddy

    mankind looks for answers for everything..science is good but god didnt intend for ..

  • humans to knw about certain things it all started wit adam and eve

    i bet u didnt kno christianity wasnt the first religion foreshawdowd the way it was..

    u should tel me a lil about wat u knw matter fact this is a video

    u should message me dnt comment bak this videos comments may get closed

  • One word sums up my answer to all three of your comments... what????

  • gunzkevin you see you immediately go on about the big fucking band theory just because I called religion what it is, a cult. It's not about losing anything. Life happens to each of us in a personal manner. We are forged in the fires of our experiences to become something molded by nature. I do believe there is something beyond death of our bodies, but I do not believe what religion tells you it is. I would tell you my theory in private because there is a lot to it, if you like. Take Care

  • Although I don't really understand your comment, a cult is defined somewhere along the line of a group of people following beliefs that the majority of population thinks isn't mainstream. There is a large percent of the U.S and other countries that believe in God and Jesus, so it would be wrong to say Christianity is a cult. And you have a lot of fillers in your comment, the part about the fire stumps me, what is that about? And this is my final note, I don't press religion, I invite.

    -God Bless

  • gunzkevin the fire part means as though life tempers you like a sword in the fires. It's a comparison. The other thing is, religious people think they have it right.  The truth is, you have it all wrong. This is not to say there is not higher power. You just believe in a religion that is full of delusional members that have misinterpreted everything. I don't really care how many people in the US are Christian, it's doesn't mean everyone should follow what the majority believes.

  • How do you know that religious people have it all wrong? That is your opinion until you have proof to prove millions of people wrong. And I never said everyone should follow what the majority is doing, just that Christianity or other common religions aren't cults. If every christian believed and read the bible, there would be nothing to misinterpret. It says everything in the bible and you can learn everything else through prayer.

  • gunzkevin don't ask me for proof until you provide proof about all the super heros in your bible. You have people walking on water, living 400 years, parting an entire ocean, etc. Come on, I guess 2000 years ago everyone was a superhero? Get real. You think because millions believe in Christianity, they are right? It's not the only religion with millions of followers. Billions can be wrong, keep that in mind. Think for yourself, and stop being so brainwashed. Can't you think for yourself?

  • Pretty sure Moses parted the Red Sea not an Ocean. I do think for myself, if I didn't want to believe this, I wouldn't. God gave everyone the freedom of choice. I choose to believe, and follow the bible, but there are others who don't. That's their decision. And i never said that a large group of people can't be wrong, I simply said that Christianity isn't a cult as you defined it as. And I wish you would grow up and quit using the word brainwashed. And my proof is belief. I don't need any.

  • gunzkevin using a word like brainwashing doesn't mean anyone is immature. If you from birth, or all through your childhood had the bible and christianity thrust upon you from your family, it is merely a whole load of tradition and rhetoric handed down to you. If you were born on a deserted island, and you were never exposed to religion at all, and after 30 years were suddenly exposed to religion, you would think that person was crazy, and insane.

  • I wasn't "brainwashed" from birth, i actually became a christian when I was 22 and in college. Was totally my decision, my life just wasn't very good and I went to church one day and continued to go, I enjoyed it and believe it.

  • gunzkevin of course that's where all people who can't handle the realities of life go, they turn to cults, religions, and escapisms. Being liberated is not being spiritually controlled and manipulated by religion. The higher power exists without religion. The higher power wouldn't waste it's time on something as low as rhetoric fairy stories written for chimps.ï
