  • There is segment of Christianity that is waiting for the "Evil-gelical" haters to get over this heaven and hell business and do the works prescribed in the Bible. You know, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick.

  • dude i checked out that video and i literaly couldnt sit through it all without getting vehemently mad that religious nonsense was being forced down the throats of the target audience (preteens and teens). it sickens me so much that these christians hate deviants so much that they have to scare people into worshiping their horrible excuse for a "god"

  • My thoughts precisely, sir. I saw the video in question a number of weeks ago and was disgusted at the attempt to brainwash the minds of the young.

    You have won yourself another subscriber.

    Keep the videos coming.

  • How do you know the other guy is an atheist. He could just not be a member of that small sect of christianity.

  • i don't kno wut to say, except that i'm sry u feel this way...

  • I don't know what to say to that, except this:

    When people stop worshipping a fantasy figure that they also think will torture me for eternity, I will stop feeling this way.

  • woo, great video. this is my 1st time watching a CapnOrdinary video, and it kicks ass, 5/5

  • nice one! i share the same thoughts!

  • "Evolution and common descent is a fact, get used to it. And that fact alone proves Genesis is flawed."

    im curious..where is this proof? if this is fact you must have something to show for it? we have upwards of 6000 years of recorded history and not even the slightest signs of any form of evolution has been seen. so how is it fact?

  • Evolution: The change of allele frequencies in a population over time (this is the scientific definition of evolution. Any other definition is irrelevant). This is observed daily, all over the world.

    Common descent is as much a fact as it is a fact that the earth orbits the sun. The distribution patterns of ERVs alone is sufficient evidence for this, but we have an abundance of additional evidence on top of that (genetic, fossil, etc.).

  • all you've done is give a brief description of each theory both of which still have too many flaws to be considered fact yet

  • "all you've done is give a brief description of each theory both of which still have too many flaws to be considered fact yet"

    Put simply: You're just plain wrong. There is no flaw to be found in either common descent or evolution, nor are there flaws to be found in the theory of evolution by natural selection (which is the scientific theory explaining those two facts).

  • anywhere?

    So how did the world form, how did the universe come into existence?

    If Evolution is supposed to make everything better, why is it backwards.

    If evolution were true, and lets say Melissa had a baby boy, and as soon as he was born we put him into tub of water, and left him there, would he grow gills?

    Put simply: YOU my friend are wrong, there are NO, none, nada, zero facts that prove evolution is true.

    If evolution were true, then what is your purpose for living?

  • The formation of the world is not evolution. It is also fairly well established how it happened, but that has nothing to do with evolution. The same goes for the universe, that also has zilch to do with evolution.

    Not sure how evolution is "backwards" in your opinion.

    Putting a baby into a bathtub will result in a wet baby, nothing more. This is also precisely in accordance with evolutionary theory.

    My purpose for living is irrelevant to the discussion. It has nothing to do with evolution.

  • How did the world form, then?

    The universe?

    Evolution goes in circles. Evolution is supposed to get better, right? Then why does it go from the sea to land, back to the sea? Makes no sense.

    Evolution states if you put something into an element, it will adapt in order to survive, which mean the baby would evolve something so he could survive.

    Oh but it is relevant, if there is no Higher Being, then there is no reason to live. So what is your perpose to live. Do you belive in a Higher Power?

  • The formation of the planet or of the universe has nothing to do with evolution.

    Evolution is not supposed to make species better, no. It's not "the strongest survives", it's "the weakest die". There is a difference in the focus.

    Evolution states that if an organism cannot adapt to its environment it will die. Adaptation in a single generation would be a miracle, and proof of the supernatural. It would not be evolution.

    And I still don't see how the meaning of life is relevant to evolution?

  • The formation of the earth has everything to do with evolution, where did we come from?

    "The strongest survives" and "the weakest die" your saying the same thing. If your not weak, your strong. You either die or survive.

    How does something adapt then, because if "Evolution states that if an organism cannot adapt to its environment it will die." then the first generation will die and there won't be a second generation, see the flaw?

    If there is no meaning to life then we shouldn't be here.

  • As I have said before, evolution is "the change in allele frequencies in a population over time". This is what evolution means. Anything else has nothing to do with evolution, this includes the formation of the universe, the planet, the origin of life, etc.

    The world is not black and white. If you're not the slowest in the herd when the lion is chasing you, you will survive, even if you are the next in line.

    Do yourself the favour of studying a bit.

  • "Anything else has nothing to do with evolution, this includes the formation of the universe, the planet, the origin of life, etc." If evolution is true, it has EVERYTHING to do with this. If something is here now, how did it get here? That is evolution.

    But because you have no facts you can't prove it. If you can, lets see them, show me the billions and trillions of missing links there should be. You say I need to study more, but unfortunately, I don't study fairy tales. But I think you might

  • "That is evolution."

    No. It isn't. Evolution is the change in allele frequencies in a population over time. Nothing else. Get that through your head, ffs.

    There is no such thing as "missing links". That term is meaningless. Every creature that has ever existed but didn't fossilize could be called a "missing link".

    The term you're looking for is "transitional", and we have plenty of those, thank you.

    If you're unwilling to learn about what you criticize, don't expect to be taken seriously.

  • Alright let's say that "Evolution is the change in allele frequencies in a population over time." Where do we come from? When was this start of allele frequencies?

    What are transitional species? The merman? The Archaeopteryx?

    Did men walk with dinosaurs? Why do many religions and societies say there was a world wide flood? Why do the pyramids, ziggarauts, and Mayan temples...ect all hold to one certain shape? Why is there a day missing in the earths history?

  • There is no "let's say" about it, that is simply the definition.

    "Where do we come from? When was this start of allele frequencies?"

    Do you even know what alleles are?

    "What are transitional species?"

    Finally, a question about something real. A transitional species is a species that carries the phenotypal characteristics of two groups of animals (be it families, species, w/e), one earlier, one later. Archaeopteryx is one example. Tiktaalik is another.

    (cont)

  • "Did men walk with dinosaurs?"

    Of course not.

    "Why do many religions and societies say there was a world wide flood? "

    Because it makes for good drama? Who cares? The fact of the matter is, we know for a fact there never was a worldwide flood.

    "Why do the pyramids, ziggarauts, and Mayan temples...ect all hold to one certain shape?"

    Because all human cultures originate in the same location, probably. Plus, it's a very pleasingly symmetric geometric shape.

  • "Why is there a day missing in the earths history? "

    Wait, what? How can a day be "missing"? What do you mean it's "missing"? And how could you possibly tell?

    Please elaborate.

  • stand still, and NASA has proved there is a day missing in the rotation of the earth.

  • upheavel in the earths crust and contains virtually every species of animal, including dinosaurs and fossilized palm trees and wood, fish, turtles, birds, etc. How did they all die and get deposited together in one huge sand bar? Receding flood waters?

    If all mankind originated in one location then the evolutionary theory is void, because it it were true humans would have been evolving from apes all over the world not just in one spot.

    The Bible gives an account of Joshua asking for the day to

  • Alleles are codes within our genetic makeup, so again when did the coding start? Where did we come from?

    Dinosaurs did walk with humans, example Glen Rose, Tx where human footprints are with dinosaur footprints. The Bible even mentions them.

    "The fact of the matter is, we know for a fact there never was a worldwide flood."

    Then why was there a woolly mammoth found flash frozen in the Arctic,? Near Vernal Utah you can stand and look at one such ancient river bed. It stands near vertical due to

  • "when did the coding start?"

    At abiogenesis. That has nothing to do with evolution, evolution doesn't kick in until life is there.

    "Glen Rose, Tx"

    The Paluxy river prints include not a single human footprint. Sorry to shatter your illusions.

    "The Bible even mentions them."

    Once again, no.

    "a woolly mammoth found flash frozen in the Arctic"

    There wasn't. If you think there was, please present your evidence for this.

    (cont)

  • "Vernal Utah"

    I'm aware that there are many excellent fossil sites in that area. Please provide a reference so I can verify your claim that there are "virtually every species" in one deposit....

    "If all mankind originated in one location then the evolutionary theory is void, because it it were true humans would have been evolving from apes all over the world not just in one spot. "

    No. Once again you show that you don't understand how evolution happens.

    Seriously, look it up.

  • "NASA has proved there is a day missing in the rotation of the earth."

    How could that be proven? And please provide a reference to the paper where this was published.

  • Harry Rimmer in 1936 in his book Harmony of Science and Scripture.

  • in north central Siberia, called the Jarkov mammoth. So actually there was and it's not just one, but many have been found.

    I understand evolution, something evolves, but it would be a universal change all over the world, because we have the same types of climates scattered around the world, clearly you don't understand what you preach.

    Harold Hill from NASA is the one that made the claim, but also Prof. C. A. Totten of Yale in 1890 wrote Joshua's Long Day and the Dial of Ahaz, and it was

    cont

  • Since each change is brought on by a random mutation that is beneficial and thus selected for, any given change would only occur where the mutation occured. Thus, creatures would only evolve the particular trait that the mutation coded for in the population that the mutation occured in. Fairly common sense, I should think.

    But you're right in so far as different mutations that give similar benefits to adapt to similar environments do occur all over the planet. But they're not identical.

  • As for the "long day", first of all, and I don't know if you're aware of this, but we live in the 21st century (well, most of us). Could you provide a link or reference to a scientific text that confirms your claim that scientists have measured this "missing day", however that is supposed to be possible?

  • I gave you books, I don't know if you know this but books contain plenty of information, and is how we as humans have kept records for 4000years.

    There's an amazing building, you might have them where you live, its called a library, it contains hundreds if not thousands of books. I you have one try going there and researching these bogus arguments you bring up, which I have continually proved false.

  • When have you "proved false" anything I have said? At all?

    Also, yes, you gave sources, but first of all I doubt that my local library holds American apologetics literature from the 19th and early 20th century (I live in Denmark), secondly, you claimed that NASA had proven there was a day missing from history, I asked for a source, and both your sources are older than NASA.

    Frankly, you try my patience.

  • Woolly mammoths in the Arctic, Dinosaurs walk with men, the Bible mentions Dinosaurs... ect

    Ah but I gave 3 sources, not 2, Harold Hill. Don't misquote me.

    Whats the cross between a horse and a donkey? First generation mutations can not reproduce. So we would die out, we are not mutations of our parents, we are their offspring there is a difference.

    But origin is relevant, if we didn't come from anywhere, we wouldn't be here, that what you can't grasp.

  • Harold Hill. Right.

    Here's a link for you, it's a Young Earth Creationist site. Look it up.

    w3(DOT)answersingenesis(DOT)or­g/ docs/ 1117(DOT)asp

    You're confusing crossbreeding with mutation. A mule is a crossbreed, but also a mutant. You and I are the same species (defined as interbreeding and producing fertile offspring), but we both contain genetic mutations when compared to our parents. Some of your genes are not from your father, not from your mother, but are mutations.

  • "Woolly mammoths in the Arctic"

    What a surprise, a frozen mammoth in the arctic. You haven't provided a source, you haven't shown how they were "flash frozen", and you haven't shown why that would be evidence of a global flood in the first place.

    "Dinosaurs walk with men"

    Only they never have, and you haven't presented credible evidence to show that they have.

    "the Bible mentions Dinosaurs"

    No it doesn't.

  • "But origin is relevant, if we didn't come from anywhere, we wouldn't be here, that what you can't grasp."

    It is completely and utterly irrelevant to the question of whether evolution occured and occurs or not. Is this too hard a concept for you to grasp?

  • Thats a bad url try again please.

    so then back to the bathtub? the baby would grow gills, or some kind of snout to breath.

  • The url is fine. Replace w3 with 3 times w, replace (DOT) with a dot, and remove the spaces.

    No, if you submerged the baby completely it would drown. And if it was your baby, that would mean your genes would not be passed on (because you'd killed your baby). Natural selection in action.

    Your bathtub example is perfect to illustrate that you haven't understood evolutionary theory at all.

  • But that is the evolutionary theory, if you put a living organism into a place where it can't survive, it will adapt in order to survive. So therefore you do not understand the very concept you are trying to preach.

  • "if you put a living organism into a place where it can't survive, it will adapt in order to survive."

    No. It will die.

    Evolutionary theory says that the organism that is best suited to survive and reproduce in the environment that it inhabits, will produce more offspring, and thus the frequency of its particular genes will be higher. That is evolutionary theory, and natural selection, in a nutshell.

    What you're proposing is magic, it has nothing to do with evolution.

  • "Evolutionary theory says that the organism that is best suited to survive and reproduce in the environment that it inhabits, will produce more offspring,"

    How did it become best suited if it's never been put into that environment?

    What I'm proposing is the evolutionary THEORY.

    Unless your saying evolution is wrong?

  • "What I'm proposing is the evolutionary THEORY."

    No, it isn't. What you're proposing is a misunderstood strawman version of evolutionary theory, that has little to no relation to the real thing.

    "Unless your saying evolution is wrong?"

    Evolutionary theory is perfectly valid, but what you're proposing isn't evolutionary theory. Also: Evolution is a fact. If your description of evolutionary theory was accurate, the theory would be wrong. Evolution would still be a fact.

  • Fairly common sense, if one thing evolves over here, something very similar would evolve over there. Otherwise if only one thing evolved it would die out. So why do all humans come from the same spot? Why don't all animals do that?

    And you still haven't answered how this system of encoding, and change, came into existence.

  • "Otherwise if only one thing evolved it would die out."

    How so? Both you and I have evolved when compared to our parents, since we both carry mutated genes that neither of our parents carried. Are we automatically going to die out?

    All animals come from the same spot, this includes humans as well as every other animal. We all evolved from one common ancestor.

    And you still haven't understood that the origin of the system is irrelevant to the question of whether evolution is true or not.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree! If the christian god is good, caring, kind and loves the mankind, why would he create a place to torture innocent people, only because they didnt believe in him? Bible is full of violence, sexism, racism and shit and these people come to tell me that Jesus is the only way to do the right thing. I dont question if someone believes in christian god, its not my business. But when they make videos like those, it really pisses me of. Im free, Im pagan and Im happy. And Im not going to hell.

  • Prove God doesn't exist. With solid based facts. Can you do it?

    Hint: all you have to do is prove ONE thing wrong with the Bible, and you've disproved the whole thing. Which means God doesn't exist.

    So can you?

  • The burden of proof is on the one making the claim, not the one disbelieving it.

    That said, you are also assuming that the only possible "god" (a term you have neglected to define) is the one described in the bible. Where is your reasoned argument for this assumption?

    Thirdly, the bible is flawed on several historical and factual points, starting with the whole of Genesis chapter 1 and 2.

    So what's your point?

  • The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, The Alpha and the Omega, and His Son Jesus Christ, who was the perfect Lamb, who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Did I define Him enough for you?

    My reasonable argument, is that no matter what the Bible has not been proven wrong, in fact in more cases than not, the Textus Receptus has been proven right:

    The life of the flesh is is the blood.

    The world hangeth upon nothing,

    That there were dinosaurs but man lived with them.

    All this was written 2000 years ago.

  • "Did I define Him enough for you?"

    Sorry, what you provided is not a definition, just a bunch of secondary and tertiary characteristics.

    "no matter what the Bible has not been proven wrong"

    Wrong. Try to read it. We can start with the fact that the bible claims bats are birds, and then we can work our way from there.

    We might also mention the global flood which we know for an absolute fact never happened, etc. etc.

  • Or why there is a huge Ark that in a mountain. Or why we can look at the soil and see a great disturbance i.e. a flood.

    If evolution is true, where is your missing link, cause there would be millions everywhere, if for 63million years we evolved, also fish still swim in the sea, but if they evolved they wouldn't. Or how backwards the theory is, why would the cow go Back into the ocean to become a whale, it had just gotten out, I thought the idea was to get better.

  • So now with that being said, please tell me where there is a fallacy in Genesis. Keeping in mind you can't use Evolution or Darwin, or the Bouncing universe, or the Big Bang theory as proof since those in themselves have been proven false.

    So please show me where there is ONE fault in the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelations.

  • "since those in themselves have been proven false. "

    Sorry, but no, they haven't. Evolution and common descent is a fact, get used to it. And that fact alone proves Genesis is flawed.

  • Those are the definitions of God: The Almighty Maker of everything, including you. Who sent his only Son to die for you.

    Also it's in Leviticus 11:13-19 not Genesis, so your argument is flawed.

    In this case, the bat is categorized as a bird because like birds, it flies and is similar in size to most birds.

    As for the flood almost every religion and society mention some kind of Earth wide flood, which is why we find woolly mammoths in the Arctic, with a fresh flower in its stomach.

  • First off according to the Religion God didn't make hell for humans. He made hell for the angels who tried to take power over him.

    Two the only difference is one the Christian hasn't died yet and two the Christian has forgiven for most of his wrong deeds according to the beleif. It some ways the Religion is corrupt but all religions are, even your athiest self, is corrupt.

    You don't have enough knowledge of Christianity to make a response to the video. Please next time...

  • 25 years as a christian and I don't have enough knowledge of christianity? LOfuckingL.

  • @CapnOrdinary obviously your stupid because you didn't learn anything about it.

  • Dude, do you actually watch it? (As a side note, it was amusing that you were so repulsed by it)

    At 2:25 , your clever little scrolling words at the bottom are saying that you were amused that an atheist believes in the afterlife. Um, Hello? He was writing this from hell. Duh, he believes in the afterlife. That doesn't at all mean that he didn't before he died.

    Please get your facts right.

  • I've watched the disgusting piece of filth several times, yes.

    And I'm pretty sure you mean 2:50, but yes, I find it amusing that this atheist character believed in an afterlife even before he died (according to himself), because from my observations, most of us don't.

    I'm not sure which facts it is you think I'm not "getting right"?

  • When did he say that he believed in the after life before he died? He obviously believed in it after he died, because he was in it.

  • It was in the text on the screen from the original video at the point where my scrolling commentary was flashing over it.

  • Ah ok, now I see.

  • I would like to add the fact that you should watch the couple first seconds

    I beleive they tell you that it's fictional

    It was a blooper watch any movie they got tons of them

    In spite of this I don't understand why you guys are over reacting and saying they are ignorant? When you are the ones rejecting

    I still beleive that humanity is not great enough to be the greatest being that influenced earth and I beleive there has to be something of a high power that influences the earth more

  • Onward and upward.

    "i know the KJV hasn't been around that long. i'm not stupid. "

    You obviously are if you beleve that the christ was anything more than a man,and the reason the jews dont recognise him as a messiah,is beacause he was born in nazareth.

    Hence,jesus of nazareth,not jesus of bethlehem,and ask any jew and they will tell you the same.

    Paul constructed your religion,not the christ,so it should be called pauliality or saulialty if were going to split hairs.

  • Now hold on...You think that the entire Bible is written by Paul? Is that what you are saying?

    Paul wrote a small portion of the Bible.

    But ofcourse now your gonna deny that that's what you meant. go head.

    Lol, and that was funny eloisecm. you took what i said and put "the Pink Unicorn"in I love it. it's so original. props.

  • The truth shall set us free from religion, vive la revolution!!!!!

  • ikhyro,You are wrong as the translations were changed to accomodate king james and the church,and another thing you follow the teachings of paul,not the christ,and he was the only one that didnt meet or know the christ.

    Look through the veil,and you will see the truth.

  • Hats off captain and good on you for standing up to these religo nazis ,who think its fine to install fear and hate into the hearts of the young and the vulnerable.

    I too find this excrement to be highly offensive and just a little insane,luckily we live in th u.k. and not in the land of these religo right wingers.

    Sorry but the king james bible that you read was written in the 14th century,thats hundreds not thousands ikhyro,it has also been proven to be histotically wrong also.

  • The word of God has been preserved for thousands of years. i know the KJV hasn't been around that long. i'm not stupid. It's just a translation. but even if you were to go to the original language and translate it yourself it would be the same thing...just maybe in different words.

  • i am a proud christian fanatic and would like to make one point. Christianity as stood for thousands of years strong. the Bible has yet to be proven wrong or with error.

  • Talking snake, talking donkey, pillar of flame, and a 40-year trek over a hundred miles of land.

    Judaism has stood for thousands of years more than christianity, so by that criterion, you lose.

    And sorry, and idea being old doesn't make it true. It just makes it old.

  • truth tends to last longer than lies

  • But a lie can run around the world before the truth has got its boots on.

    I can bandy words all day if you like, it isn't going to get us very far. The real hangup here is, you believe something for which you have no empirical evidence. Until you do, don't expect anyone else to fall for it.

  • i'm not trying to get you to "fall" for anything. This isn't a trap. what's so wrong with believing in God, or heaven or hell? God doesn't need trickery. i'm simply sharing what i've discovered to be the best thing to ever happen to me. it forms my life and alters my decisions. i wouldn't trade it for anything.

  • It forms your life and alters your decisions, yet you can't present a shred of empirical evidence for any of it. Heck, you haven't even defined what this "god" thing IS?

    Sorry, but that does sound like a bad thing to me, because having your decisions and life formed by something that is for all intents and purposes imaginary IS bad.

  • God IS. he doesn't have to be in the form of something he created. As for evidence, look around. you can't prove there is no God.

  • And you cant prove there is..

  • But what about catholics?

  • What about them?

  • im an athiest. in some respect at least. people who fight about religon and which one is right...its insane. did u know aethiests are putting signs on london buses saying " theres no god, so stop whining and enjoy your life." they have the right idea. maybe not about the god part to some christians or jews or whatever you believe, but live your life and enjoy it. whats the point of arguing whose right? nobody knows, isnt that right? exactly. so live your lives. whatever it is that you beilive...

  • so you are simply saying "live your life and have no concerns for what might happen later." In this case what if there is something later... what can you do? to be honest I'm kinda scared... what if this video is right? I have searched and have found no supporting facts that prove this view false. Also, in a lot of respects it makes sense, It seems there is something big out there which has power over us, and if we did something that it saw as wrong, wouldn't it have the right to punish us?

  • they removed the video...

  • It was the most disgusting piece of clap trap I've ever seen in my entire life! Not to mention it is as you said propaganda and made to fear teens into belief. Christians are sick and sad.

  • one thing I've always wondered, how can you prove evolution, when evolution says that there was a big bang. how can anyone be so sure? no one would be there to see it, and the only organic matter to appear would come millions of years later! I am just confused as evolution seems to me a guess on what could have happened, and that is supported as evolution being a "theory." Why are you saying its a fact then? please share. also, where did all the matter come from, and what about entrophy?

  • First of all, evolution does not say there was a big bang. That would be, appropriately, big bang cosmology.

    A theory in scientific terms is not "a guess", it's "an explanation of a set of observations". Observations are facts. The observations that the theory of evolution is built on are the "facts" of evolution (homology, ERV's, genetic drift, inheritance patterns, etc. etc.).

    Matter comes from energy as it cools down. This happens as it is dispersed, and it is a rise in entropy.

  • Also, thermodynamics applies to closed systems. The Earth is not a closed system. The sun is constantly feeding us energy.

  • so where does the suns energy come from? last thing I knew, Energy doesn't come from nowhere. the way I see It something had to start it all. Last thing I knew, energy was dated as having a start and an end. If everything was already here and entropy was taking place, then everything would essentially become antimatter, causing the entire universe to turn itself inside out. That doesn't really seem very plausible to me.

  • The sun's energy comes from the fusion of hydrogen. The root cause could be said to be gravity, I suppose, since gravity is what causes the hydrogen atoms to be "pushed together" and fuse.

    No energy has a beginning. No energy has an end. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted. (Thermodynamics)

    Why would entropy cause matter to become antimatter?

  • the point is, energy had to have a start. Every thing MUST have a start and a finish according to the laws of physics and Thermodynamics, and it makes sense. If you were to have an item that was cooling, the energy was being depleted and being changed into a lesser kind of energy. The only way to restore the energy is to deplete more energy to cause an energy exchange. this therefore means that as long as energy is being depleted, more energy must be depleted to restore previous energy.

  • in the end you end up with a huge mass of depleted energy that eventually will become antimatter as there will be no more polar energy that can be used.

  • so if not the big bang then what? you cant just say that there was always things evolving, that would leave evolution with a hole saying that something must have happened to start it off. If that was the case what did?

  • What started of evolution? Abiogenesis did. Whether abiogenesis was a result of a "god" (whatever that is) reaching down his/her/its finger and creating life, or by chemical reactions in a primordial ocean doesn't really make a difference.

  • hmmm... doesn't really support what you were saying, and doesn't really support atheism... so what you are saying is there is something out there greater than us... sounds almost like the description of a "god." If this is so, it sounds like you doubt your faith in atheism in which says there is no god. so are you an atheist or not?

  • I have no "faith" in atheism. Atheism is the lack of belief in god(s), and since noone has been able to define what a god is, let alone provide the slightest evidence for the existence of one, I don't see any reason to lend the suggestion any more credence than I would to the idea of Santa Claus or the tooth fairy.

    And of course there's something out there that's greater than us. It's called the universe.

  • faith is "Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing" in this case-yes you have faith in atheism. you have a confident belief in that there is no god. you said your self that everything might be a 'result of a "god"' and the fact that everything can not come out of nothing should be fact enough that there is something out there. it could be god as there is no proof that it is not. anyways you didn't answer my question... are you an atheist or not?

  • Of course I'm an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of god(s), that makes me an atheist. I don't, however, have faith in the non-existence of gods. I simply remain to be convinced.

    And noone (except creationists misrepresenting science) is claiming that everything came from nothing. The big bang wasn't a "creation" in any meaningful sense, all the energy was already there.

    Do you actually have a point somewhere?

  • yes I do. for one (i already stated this) Energy simply cannot come out of no where. There has to be an origin. Anything other than that does not make sense. the point I am making is that if you have energy that is rapidly depleting, there must be a source of the energy to have a dispersion and depletion of energy. If the energy is coming from the sun, the hydrogen still had to have a source.

    I am just stuck without any proofs that there is not a god, and it seems more logical that there is one.

  • I'm not saying energy came out of nowhere, I'm saying energy cannot be created or destroyed (thermodynamics), so it was always there. All it can do is change state.

    This also means energy can't be "depleted", the energy is still there, it has just changed states.

    And since it's impossible to prove that something doesn't exist, somewhere in the universe, especially when that something isn't defined (what's a "god"?), then I'm sorry, but your argument seems pretty flawed.

  • oh wait i forgot. the universe poofed into existence and we all evolved from inorganic matter

  • Even the way you misrepresent it, it still sounds more likely than "magic man done it".

  • this is all crap..

  • The people like that are shit that makes most and i say most athiest, anti relion, ect. not like god and things like that

    thats my oppion

    The show does inforce fear into peoples mind

    there ones like that

    please forgive those who made it and try christianity out

    -keep it metal-

  • i understand your piont of this and its most shit like the ones that say "god hates fags"

    "god hates america" are what they show on the news

    they make us good christions looks like shit and people that condem you for being a homosexual

    i dont

    how are you going to try to bring them into gods eyes and enlightin them with the enternal bliss of heaven when they say

    god hates fags

    i will tell all of you those are the phoney christions like us hate

    they make us look bad and ruins the name "god"

  • Propaganda? OK, so your spirit suffering for eternity is propaganda while people believing in the fairy tale that something with no origin of its own banged the universe into existence is not propaganda?  Good luck on that.

  • No, the idea that something with no origin banged the universe into existence is propaganda as well. It's creationist propaganda.

    It's called misrepresenting science, something creationists do very well indeed.

    Oh, and prove that there exists such a thing as a "spirit", then perhaps we can discuss whether it will suffer or not.

  • thank you man

  • I wish I could rate this 10 stars.

  • The Letters From Hell video was shown in an 8th grade health class in my town last year. The teacher claimed it was about drunk driving... I guess it didn't occur to him that the Jewish girl in his class might have a problem with it. The worst part is that a LOT of people thought she was over reacting when she and her father complained to the school and got the teacher suspended. That's freedom of religion for you.

  • The movie makes no sence. Did they even mention how expensive and slow the Hell postal service is, and then they make you fill out all that paperwork, why increase one's torture? ;)

  • Say what you want about hell, but at least they had the foresight to fireproof their letter paper :)

  • Right on mate......right on....

  • Dude ur so lame

  • Dude you're so.... wait, what's a single word that means "not making any kind of sense whatsoever, and obviously not in possession of the cranial capacity to do so"?

  • so basicaly the two kids did the same things hung with the same freinds did the same drugs hade sex with the same girls played the same sports. but one is to be eternaly tortured in the most horific way possible, just because he disigreed with his freinds view of the after life.

  • The video is gone now. aww too bad i would have loved to raid it

  • Please dont blame God!! Its mans fault for twisting something that was supposed to save people, into a fear factory. I dont like those people as much as you do, and I blamed God for all the fucked up shit that went in the past...starvation, war...ect. Then I thought wait...thats not my God, and my god love you no matter if you shove Jesus down somones throat or not. These so called Christans have it all wrong, it makes me sick...keep some kind of faith...I believe in God...just not man.

  • Well, it seems we agree on their methods, at least.

    I'm not blaming god, though. I simply don't believe he exists.... But that's a whole different story.

  • Fair enough...lol.

  • I love that shirt. One looks at it and goes he must believe in god. Then sees the back and goes o no, he is one of those evil ppl who plays DnD, lol classic. I want one.

  • very nice! i agree hugely! send me a message if any more such videos pop up, i might do a similer review myself! lol...

    peace

  • Ahh...lots of hate, bitterness, propaganda, paranoia and lies - no substance.

    And your attempt at theology is just downright ridiculous.

  • Jamen tak skal du have :P

    For your information, my bitterness is based in 25 years of Danish Lutheran christian upbringing. The only lies are the ones told by people who actually believe bronze age mythology over science.

  • Selv tak

    No one believes in bronze age mythology, and especially not "over science".

    I do not pretend to know anything about your background, but there's no excuse for that bitterness towards those who disagree with you.

  • Christianity is bronze age mythology, so unless you're claiming that christianity has disappeared overnight (I wouldn't complain), then yes, people do. And for the "over science" bit, I recommend Kent Hovind. The christian schools in Denmark make a decent showing as well.

    And in the case of the video I'm responding to here, it is a disgusting, despicable piece of hatefilled propaganda, and I am bitter at the people who make that kind of crap. I think I have sufficient reason.

  • at first, i thought you were going abit far by saying christians are disguisting, now, im going to apologise, this video shows what you were on about, so to you, i apologise, you were right, and were way to easy on them.

  • If you ask me to prove that God exists, I'll ask you to prove that you love your father (or any other person who you feel a strong emotional bond with.) Hmmm...it's harder than it seems to prove love isn't it? Just like God cannot be easily proven through words or science or any other device of mankind. And by now you ought to know that without God all of man's knowledge, everything we have achieved throughout the ages, amounts to nothing. It simply has no valid application to anything. Stuff

  • gninj4 your a moron. if god wants us to believe in him, then he should show himself. Faith is not proof and using fear is not the way to pormot peace and love. before you comment with your hate and fear plz learn what your path is before you comment on it, while tryin to say you follow love and hate when you clearly dont.

  • hmmm, I thought christians believe that he sent his son to us, but then we killed him...

  • Hell is not a place God send you as punishment. Hell is a place you choose to go to by denying the love of Christ to yourself. Hell is the absence of God, since you have chosen to be without him. Therefore, if God stands for peace and love and mercy you must abide in a place vacant of those things (a place of pain and gnashing of teeth). That's the truth. If you don't like it, do what you want, but remember...you don't have to believe in hell to go there.

  • so what your saying is god wants to send us there. if he did not, then why would he make it and send us there in the first place. To defend such a movie is sick and shows your true color of bring sick. Stop using fear to get ppl to your faith gninj4.

  • it sounds more like he is saying its more of our choice...

  • How would it be a stupid thing to make up? Let's see, obviously you are forgetting Zues, Ra, Alah, Krishna, and millions of other made up deities. That's the problem with religious people. There's really nothing that seperates their Gods from ALL THE OTHER THOUSANDS of Gods that existed sometimes before theirs or at other points in time as well. Humans are ignorant of a lot of things. We fill that ignorance with a God, that's all it is, there's no higher power, we just like simple answers.

  • His love is indescribable, indeed. If I don't appreciate his love, and bow down in worship to his holiness, he loves me so much that he will torture me for eternity.

    Sorry, that's not love, that's sadism.

    Your god is a sadistic prick, and I want nothing to do with him. Assuming he existed, of course, and there's no reason to suppose that he does (no evidence, y'know).

  • Ummm,yes I'd like to send a letter to my friend in Hell lol

  • Well said CapnOrdinary! This is possibly the most offensive video on Youtube. I would call it psychological terrorism. These retards who believe this crap need to get a life. What kind of sadistic, malevolent and twisted deity do they worship? If heaven is filled with people like them I want no part of it. Eternity with a bunch of self-rightious nut cases like them...now that would really be hell!!!

  • If you don't believe in God then why are you looking at Church videos? How do you know that the young man that died was an atheist?

  • ice01ministries they say he is in the beginning. Also the reason why he is looking into it, is to show the crap for what it is. Also to see if ppl defend it and show there true colors. its a way to smoke out the cockroachs and to show them for the hateful ppl they are in real life.

  • No way I could have said it better myself.

  • Search this video.

    Lifehouse's Everything Skit

    This video shows how much God loves even Cap'n. He died for you, but most importantly he rose from the dead and conqured death and the grave. If you are move and want to accept Jesus as your personal savior please either contact me or find someone near you who is a christian. PLEASE search this video it really does show accuarately how much God loves everyone.

  • A loving god that created thinking, feeling beings (ie. us), and doomed the majority of them to eternal torment? Doesn't quite add up, does it?

    And that's even if we assume that the words of your holy myth-collection stand up to any kind of scrutiny, which of course isn't the case.

  • Damn lol hope the Postal Service in Hell is better then in my home town,Capn....I was sickended by that video

  • He gave everyone a choice. If you "CHOOSE" to turn your back on Christ that is your "CHOICE". He didn't just doom them from the start He gave them a CHOICE and they CHOSE to reject his love and care.

  • ill do the same as the captain, lets face it, eternal death cant be much worse than eternal life.

  • We are not against flesh and blood as the Bible says, but against principalities, rulers of the darkness of this age, spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. so at the mention of hell Satan and all his demon angels get nuts and so upset because it reminds them of their dreadful fate. and they dont want to be alone there so they are continually blinding your minds to the gospel truth about heaven and hell

  • greater Love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends. and that's exactly what the Lord Jesus did. He is God made himself into a man and offered himself as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Why did He do it? because He doesnt want anyone of us go to hell. His blood covers all our sins on judgement day.He doesnt send us there, our sins send us there.

  • Your delusional! (bolitoy)

  • greater Love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends. and that's exactly what the Lord Jesus did.

  • God bless all of you.

    I'll be praying for you that someday you're eyes will be opened to the truth.

  • If you dont repent now, and die without Jesus. you cannot have the chance anymore to spit on God's face as you said because God wont be there. and you will seek Him there and say sorry. but it will be too late. so while still alive.... be humble and seek the truth about God right?

  • I lol'd.

  • Please dont flame, but we all pick and choose verses from the bible, whether we admit it or not. Perhaps there is no hell.  Just think about it

  • We preach forgiveness and second chances. We preach acceptance and love. Yet isn't it strange that we worship and praise a God who openly admits to torturing people? To abandoning teenagers?

    We're not talking Adolf Hitler or serial rapists here. What many of you are saying is that regular people, who's only real difference from you is that they haven't accepted Jesus, are damned forever. Would you personally burn them? Torture them? God does not do this, there is no hell.

  • There is no hell. No loving God would ever abandon any one of his children. If we get our basic moral values from God, and we believe that a mother abandoning or hurting her child is wrong, then why do we believe God would ever abandon us?

    And we're not just talking a prison cell or a humane death. We're talking eternal, never ending pain, suffering, torture, horror, fear, and isolation. Would any of you wish that on your neighbor? Your friend? Your mother?

  • dude ur soooo blind to the truth.

  • could you be more ignorant? read your bible! hell is real and unless you get saved your going there. you may think your ok with that but why don't you write me a letter from hell yourself when your settled in and good and warm!

  • Could you be more stupid? I am telling you, that IF there is a god (which I don't believe there is), AND that god created hell, THEN that god deserves my hatred and my contempt, and he's got it right along with every one of his followers who are A-OK with the fact that the majority of their fellow humans will suffer for eternity.

  • Don't you see that's why he sent his son so he could die on the cross for us, because he loves us and dosen't want to see us in hell with him! Can you be any more stupid? That is was the video was in the first place was to have people encourage their friends to believe in god!

  • Oh, dear.... You do realise that 1) that story makes no sense (why the need for a human/semi-human sacrifice, he's god, he can do whatever he wants; why was he only dead for 36 hours; how could he be abandoned by god if he was god; etc.) and 2) even if it did make sense, it still wouldn't absolve god for punishing us for being exactly what he created us to be. And it still leaves us with a concept of a god that is so petty as to demand our worship, or punish us in revenge. It's ridiculous.

  • no ur the one who dosent realize. OPEN UR FUKIN EYES. AND TAKE UR DAM HEAD FROM OUT UR BUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Real Mature.

  • i know

  • You are completely correct, CapnOrdinary. Hell is a myth; the product of the imaginings of madmen. I find it interesting that the old testament does not really mention the place - only the new one does. Perhaps people were starting to disbelieve that god could actually smite them where they stood so they had to invent a new line of punishment to scare people in line. Hmmm.

    By the way, the irony of having Hell show up when god became a "loving father" is hopefully not lost to other viewers.

  • fuck u and ur ass is goin to hell right along with those other none believers

  • The original video got taken down. Rejoice!

  • But sadly BereanBacon reposted it. Despair!

  • Yea as a christian/catholic.

    Ill see you in hell. . . i hope satan lets me torture me if i do end up there.

  • i dont understand the point of this video.

    what do you actually believe??? where are you going to go when u die????

    and ur video is not simply a response its a total wrack! ur very disrespectfull....very rude....and finds urself in the position to judge what god should or should not make?(he's bad cause he has a place for plp who dont want to be with him?).....i mean u personally say u dont want anything to do with god...so shouldnt there be a place for you? THE ABSENCE OF GOD IS EVIL.

  • ITS AS SIMPLE AS "THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT IS DARKNESS"...."THE ABSENCE OF HOT IS COLD"...

    AS YOU KNOW...(ID LIKE TO BELIEVE YOU DO)...

    THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "COLD"....COLD IS ONLY THE RESULT .....ITS ACTUALLY THE ABSENCE OF HOT.....RIGHT?

    now u r totally entittled to ur opnion...

    i just dont understand...if you hate it so much....why not talk about something else u actually like then?

    waste of your time...
