  • if there is a hell out there then your going to it.....hell is not real and you have no right to say someone who rejects god will go to hell...how could you say that you dumb mother fucker...if there atheist out there who doesnt belive in god it is his/her choice you dont get to decide and god doesnt either heaven isnt real thats somthing magical you would get out of a movie which if you think about then it really doesnt exsist since magic doesnt exsist in your crazy minds

  • His laugh kicks ass

  • Supposing you learn that there is no hell in the bible what would you say? Go check it out.

  • I'm gonna be so stoned

  • D: if u have a disorder and can't feel pain... YOU DONT HAVE A SOUL :O!

  • "wouldn't that be awful to just DIE when you die?"...... I might have already said this but i'm saying it again cuz this is the OOMPH of this video!!!!!

  • till you die and go to hell the come back with a poloroid, shut up forcing this crap on people. if yu wanna buy into this crap fine,. but dont call decent INTELLIGENT people who can see the world for what is is, deluded. thanks to your aweseom religion we have wars famin, biased medias, and plain idiots like you, tryin to hell athiests we are goin to hell? no. we arent. we dont beleive in hell. i am an athiest therefore in my life and world god does not exist, just an imaginary friend

  • 3:07

    lolwut? xD

  • "but they will gladly watch you when you touch yourself." I cracked up at that.

  • ...I'm stoned on god's love right now...

  • I'm from South Africa originally and I thought I knew god and how his mind works, but when I cam here to America I could not believe the amount of knowledge I gained just in a matter of a couple years. Now I know more about jesus and god and the holy spirit. Thanks edwardcurrent. You helped me to use my brain to have figured out that christians are just confused people who explains their god from their own pesrpective. I'm free from this invisible celestial dictator

  • @time2learnnow at first i was like O.o then i was like :D glad you came to the better side of coin :)

  • @time2learnnow knowledge is always been the enemy of blind religion. i only blame people in developed countries for their religion as i simply know real knowedge is the only thing to make someone understand the ridiculousness. you learned and you have an open mind so you came to your own conclusions.

    you have my respect time2learnnow. religion is a way of life when you believe in it changing the way you think is never easy. i hope you don't have problems with your family because if it. cheers!

  • for some reason 3:07 REALLY sounds appealing...FUCK, i hope they have good drugs in hell too.

  • What happened to his hell video? Where is it?

  • @Sweet94ify I think there was never such video, he is just joking.

  • PETER, PETER, PETER.....sheeee show by example. Lead by example

  • Evangilism in my opinion is is man's true errogance. To take each word of the bible and believe all of it is what I call sin. If you choose to believe that God created us all equal, but think Gays shouldn't get married legally and woman are less equal then men, then it's pretty hypacritical to say , " Good will to men. " This is in my opinion the biggest falousy of the bible. ( Love all , but be self rightous and judgemental .

    But a few athiests on here are also closed minded.

  • that was hilarious. one of the best yet.

  • he is mocking your god lol.. LMAO @ animals don't actually go to heaven and hell.."when they die, they just go away their brain stop working and their body decomposed" like you said we are part of those animals.. aren't we a living thing just like them but just more smarter and stupider

  • @EdwardCurrent Do you play the Organ?

  • wow edward starting at like 4:30 you sound kind of like your scared of death is that why you need to believe in christianity dont worry its ok everybody dies dont be sad about that

  • The IQ required to get Edward Current's videos is so high that most religious minds are immune to the shit.

    Even if this is "preaching to the coir", I still find it refreshingly funny.

  • @tuzmor Does that mean that you have a high IQ then?

  • @lagosbay Not necessarily. He just meant in comparison.

  • @lagosbay My IQ is barely above average... Unfortunately, that only means "a little smarter than most idiots"

  • Dude all of your information is inaccurate fucking moron lol

  • you are confusing me! <:/?

  • damnit if you all would have just stfu about jesus wed all b set for eternity

  • Actually people from heaven are sad for the people burning in Hell and happiness in heaven is mental happiness not physical happiness

  • @dorianmyrer21 wtf is physical happiness?

  • @kingkong8974 physical happiness = eating, having sex

  • @dorianmyrer21

    That's quite dumb, you know. Happiness is 100% physical. It's all up to your nervous system, transition of chemicals and electricity, dummy. Be it food or drugs or fucking or love, it's just completely natural forces interacting with each other. But why I am talking, since you really want to be special and divine and be created in the picture of the skygod and live forever in heaven and shit like that, don't you?

  • @d3st88 Only those who didn't read the bible believe in God.

    Well... there are some that did read the bible and still believe, those people can be called delusional

  • @d3st88 I seek for the truth, whatever the truth is. But all my personal experience

    shows me there is a God. And the yogi living years without food

  • @dorianmyrer21 Yogi could not get a picnic basket??? ='[

  • Your creepy laugh!!!!!! That fuking cranks me up hahaha how did u came up with it . Its very real!!! Great acting

  • What nonsense, of course animals go to heaven. Forinstance good cats go to Mouse Hell where they can chase mice all day and bad cats go to Dog Heaven where they get chased by Dogs all day long. It's ignorant Christians like you that give us ejucated Christians a bad name.

  • This guy is my new god! Best vids on You Tube.All I need to know what days I should worship.Oh,are there any eating restrictions?

  • ur a retard... there is no god... get over it

  • are you makeing fun of ppl that belive in god? sounds like you are

  • @Srsapsalot just with that question it means how retarded religions are

  • almost everyone in America has heard about God's love, they just mock it, and turn away from it...

  • @njstorozuk Read the Old Testament and you will understand why.

  • @holio84 why do you think there was A NEW TESTAMENT CREATED, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, the gift of God is eternal life, John 3:16

  • @njstorozuk The OT characterizes your god very well. A character I would not respect or follow, a character to run from and to condemn. Any one who can see goodness in that character must have a serious mental problem. That person could not be trusted in the least bit.

  • @holio84 opinions brother ...opinions, we are all different, I have trusted God, and my life has gone VERY FAR, and I am only 16, now you're going to pull out the "oh it's because you got fooled and you're young" no...sorry, I follow God willingly I am NOT forced or persuaded.

  • @njstorozuk Your page says you're 42? No biggy, but one piece of advice for you. Stop lying to yourself and others and you'll get answers. My opinion? Don't you view genocide as wicked? Is not commanding people to kill children by bashing their heads against rocks just unthinkably wicked? Commanding people to stone to death children for not minding their parents, is that not wicked? I would like your answer to these three questions. Yes or no answers are all that's required.

  • @holio84 don't know what genocide is :l, we do not kill children, we do not stone anymore anymore >.>

  • @njstorozuk you don't know what genocide is? I take it you've never learned about the Crusades or the Holocaust....

  • @njstorozuk

    Riiiight. Kara *cough* Neumann. Uganda *cough*, death penalty for gay people due to christian reasons. Condoning condoms *cough*. AIDS *cough*. Oh my, my throat is a little sore, right? I could go on for days, but I'm afraid that your mentally ill ears are deaf for reason. So have fun shutting out the real world and sucking your imaginary pal's genitals.

  • @njstorozuk you should read the bible

  • @njstorozuk

    rofl, why are you sharing your mental illness with us? dummy

  • @holio84 going to bed now

  • Edward Edward, if only you knew the truth, you would have become a Pastafarian, its not too late Edward, you can still get laid and drink lots of rum, come on to the Pastafari side Edward, we have chicks!

  • This is my favourite one.

  • repost it.

  • Theres an eskimo and a pastor. The pastor says "If you dont believe in Jesus, then you will burn forever." The eskimo says "What if i didnt know Jesus?" the pastor responds "Then you wont go to hell" The eskimo responds "Then why did you tell me?"

  • @DarkZerkerX i think that's true. ...sadly

  • @DarkZerkerX I have always said the same thing. The doctrine they preach has tons of holes in it. Not sure it's of God but I do know its of man. Jews do not believe in original sin, hence no need for a Christ. Christianity is the only religion that claims if you don't believe in Jesus you are damned. However there are over 33,000 denominations of Christianity so obviously they all don't believe exactly the same either.

  • @Tonithenightowl Exactly !!! Alright, I admit to thinking that Jesus is the son of God, But all of these other religions having to do with God , there can't be just one way to heaven through Christ. If God is a God of Grace ,love and compassion, and I believe he is, All of that Evangilistic Born Again Christian stuff is Bullshit. The earth is not 6000 years old. God laid down the foundations and evolution and Natural selection took over. Does God exist ? I can only say ... I have faith.

  • @Tom6093 The doctrine of believe or burn can not be of God. You can not tell people God loves you but if you do not believe this doctrine as I tell you, then you are hellbound. I do trust God to know the real intention of every being. Not their doctrinal beliefs but how they treat their fellow man. One thing to be righteous, another to be self righteous. I see religion as being self righteous most of the time. Thanks for responding.

  • @Tonithenightowl I agree with you whole Heartily on the statement that God did not create us all to follow just one doctrine, Jews, cathlocs, different views on Jesus or mother Mary, To the Jews , Jesus was not the son of God, but he was the King of the Jews, Buddists, Muslims, God in my opinion did this purposely. There are also many denominations of different religions. So, Born Again Christians believe, that A Protestent or a Presbyterian which are branches of Christianity.....con.....

  • @Tonithenightowl ...con.. Will still go to hell because they didn't choose to be born again ? God , can't be that petty. Also, common, Evangilism means you must follow and believe everything in the bible to make it to heaven, so you must believe the Jonah story about living in a fish, Or Noah, or even Moses. God is far deeper then the Coron or the bible.

  • @Tom6093 I certainly hope so, bc if not, God is a lot like man, instead of man being like God. I have a hard time believing God is Jealous, vengeful, petty, egomaniacal, and merciless. However, I have no problem believing man is all these things. People who make God in their image is pretty much what I see when I see religion. Jesus being fully enlightened taught us much differently. Would God be less than what is expected of man? Love and forgivenss is Godly. Hate and revenge belongs to man.

  • I love Ed C. he is so funny. The odd thing is he is so much like real fundy nut job I doubt they could tell the differance.

  • Nice laugh around 4:35!!!

    Also, isn't it a bit of an odd Christian doctrine, how they think that you are forgiven if you live in an isolated country and have never heard of Christ, but *the very moment* that somebody says "Jesus!" to you, if you don't believe, you're going to hell?

  • @qqquigley I'm presbyterian which is a branch of Christianity, Alot of us don't share the belief that if you don't trust Christ as your lord and Savior, your going to hell. Thats like saying, " If you don't trust that I am right, then I will throw fire on you." How primitive is that ?

    God loves us all, Just be good to people and yourself and you will see him on the other side.

  • @Tom6093 "How primitive is that ?" We already know the answer to that question. The problem is, do you?

  • @alitzuu If you are referring to faith being primitive, Thats where I'd have to disagree. Believing in all of the bible being true is one thing, but without when people litterally quit addictions or miraculously get well with having terminal illness, there is something to be said about faith. If all you do is look at the negatives, all you'll find is reason to hate it. Talk to others of us who have lived on both sides of the coin. To me, If God exists, he isn't the God of the bible.

  • @Tom6093 Not believing in the god of the bible is a step as huge as going from polytheistic to monotheistic beliefs. That I appreciate. The thing is that you all choose to believe if there is a god, he must do all the good things in the world and even if some things are bad, they'll turn out to be good, eventually. And, of course, he loves us. He always does... Not to mention that he's being attributed human characteristics[has a son; loves; thinks...].

  • @qqquigley If he doesn't exist - That means that it is plain cruel.

    If he does exist? He's a fucking douche.

  • @qqquigley God said i will have mercy on whom i will have mercy. Jesus also said the gospel will be preached to all the world as a witness. How on earth could Jesus have known the gospel would be preached throughout the whole world which it currently is. Wild guess huh? heathen

  • My church taught me that even the ones who have never heard of Jesus will end up in Hell. Also, the Bible says that the blood of a damned person will be on the hands of any saved person who had the chance to tell that damned person about Jesus.

    I think the Catholics believe that people who have good intentions, but believe in another faith, can enter Heaven.

    But my church taught me that Catholics are going to Hell.

    I don't go to church anymore.

  • it's not physical pain

  • LOVE the LAUGH XD LOLZ

  • Soul pain is, as we humans know it, called STRESS.

  • what's on his paper? I can't see it...

  • Comment removed

  • Your videos make me laugh like nothing else on YouTube does. You ROCK! But the best was that laugh. I'm still cracking up.

    Thanks for posting this!

  • lol i love that crazy demented laugh

  • look how evil christians are this is a perfect example..lol.. spiritual pain receptors? this guy is an idiot. there is no hell or heaven think for yourselves people. christianity teaches hate like this (1:38 )explains it all. this guy is sick and he looks homo..lol..

  • this video is satire. he is making fun of christians.

  • lol religion becomes an excuse for (any dumb word)?

    no offense. just a thought

  • If you do not believe me, just study the Words used that are eventually, translated into "hell".

    They are FOUR DIFFERENT WORDS from TWO DIFFERENT languages. Sheol and Hades, mean the grave, Tatarus or Tataroos USED ONCE! And Gehenna, a trash dump outside of Jerusalem in the days of Jesus.

    Not to mention in 1611 "hell" only meant "A covering". It is where we get our word "helmet" from.

    Most bibles(realizing their mistake) are now, taking the word "hell" out!

  • Hell is a lie!

    Neither Jesus nor any of the Apostles ever wrote or spoke the word "hell".

    The word idea of "Eternal Torment" is NOT in the ORIGINAL Word of God either!

    Not in the Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic!!!

    Hell is the WORST most EVIL lie ever told about God.

    It takes time and study to figure this out. Hell is not a place that a loving creator will send his creations!

    But more importantly (To believers in God) it is Not in the Original Word.

    Study it, if you do not believe me!

  • Its like Edward said. You gotta accept Jesus as your lord or whatever... I know. God is awesome right? I would rather burn in hell for all eternity than worship that asshole.

  • You guys miss the point. This analogy may help. Sin is like a cancer that brings death. His blood is the cure but he has to die for his blood to cover all of humanity. He dies for every man. Some people believe Jesus because he always spoke the truth,others didn't take the cure and died. Question.... who is responsible the One who sacrificed his life to provide the cure. or the one who refused the cure.

  • No man seeks after God,....NO NOT ONE!!

    You do not choose me (God), but I (God) choose You!!

    Romans 9:15-16 I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION."

    For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

  • another analogy:

    you know sheen?from jimmy neutron?

    hes a kid who always believe at his toy

    if we do a lot of experiment between him and his toy he wouldve been like some ppl here arguing to prove a fiction to be a fact that accuses to be a fiction and blasphemy to rational thinking. theres a wall. try to climb it and see both sides. look up, if you saw god,jesus or alah. doubt it. be sure to meet his playmate too before acknowledging bias

  • I have only one question. Given a person lives a rich and fulling life aiding others before himself but does not believe in God, where does he stand on the decision to go to heaven or hell? Would god let his good deeds to others be punished?

  • yep, Bible says they go to hell

    course, God is evil, so makes sense

    went kinda insane in new testament (less of the evil epitomized thing though) than in the old

  • That laugh reminded me of Frank Burns. The insecure twit laugh. More videos please, you are a genius!

  • god i love edcurrent sooo funny

  • I'm gonna be so stoned on Gods love up there!

  • p,s - you're an arrogant and uneducated son of a bitch, and learn to fucking count

    i didn't post 4 replies i posted 7...your a perfect example of natural selection gone wrong and i hope you dont breed...the world would be better off without unintelligent waste genes of people that do not believe in any sort of human advancement instead you focus more on End of the world rapture bullshit because of your arrogance and total disregaurd to education. all of your type are total hypocrites anyhow

  • you will notice this trend

    2+2=0--> 2+2=1--> 2+2 = 3 --> 2+2 = 4

    natural selective process choses 2+2=4 to move on from after Failing the previous 3 times, it choses 2+2=4 because it deemed it logical to move on from and has the highest probability to succeed, however all you have is a 4 but now has deemed it unable to survive current condition's it requires the number 8 now

    so it will through a process of like how the 4 came to be, these factors are consistant to paralell evolutionary theory

  • it is not OK to say 2+2=5 and live your life accepting that answer, you are better off leaving that answer blank and seeking many different answers to what the answer could possibly be, this is why Nature forces lifeforms to evolves to seek out these answers because they are constantly and consistantly being thought of and the mental capacity requires an answer to commonly seeked answers.

  • and if you accept evolution, even as a religious person, you still have to respect open and proven factual evidence,There is no wall to hit or an epic answer that any lifeforms on this planet have to accept or stop learning by thinking you know the answer,that is an insult evolution.

    The problem with religion Vs science and knowledge is that religion peaks, and science and nature continue at a consistant rate, it is ok to be humble and not know the answer that is where EGO needs to be set aside

  • For as much as i disagree with Intelligent design, the possiblility of it cannot be Disproven there are still applications that can support it, intelligent design though still had to follow certain darwinian laws as well though to be able to do this too, so to say intelligent design is the cause, it just simply doesnt apply to how the ones that created life here started, it would be a "house of mirrors effect"

    this is why the theory of Proven evolution still stands, it is the most logical

  • Personally i place a very high Value system over all Life, becuase Life to me is a Natural selective order out of disorder, it is a privelidge to be selected as part of nature to be deemed fit to live and survive in it, especially since it is the only known occurance of the impossible life on this planet is unique and exclusive to our planet to any other forms of life that can take root elsewhere, you only live once, to believe otherwise can create disrespect of life

  • I assure you Nagzul, regaurdless of each others belief system, i am positive that we both can feel the same optimum enjoyment out of life. and i hope one day you will learn to respect other peoples beliefs, for there is ultimately some Logic for why one is chosen over another, usually it is a combination of intelligence and education Level as a driving force, and a need to fill in a the void of the unknown. In my belief track I accept that a theory of how life originated has not been determined

  • And if you worship nature, you understand that it isnt just humans that you need to express love toward, theres endless things to love and respect with this belief system, There is actually Set in stone laws of nature that never contradict itself either, If you dont believe in the laws of nature and try to prove it wrong you will hit a wall, and have to just accept the truth of it. Theres no way around the rules applied with nature and going against it would be illogical, cause and effect is law

  • Where can I see the original Hell vid?

  • his pastor made him take it down XD

  • your laugh towards the end scared me

  • "smear the love of christ all over heathens everywhere" Precious...

  • im wanting to correct edward's mistake on this video... everyone on the earth is given a chance to either accept or reject him once in their lives so yeah :P

  • "smear the love of jesus all over godless heathens everywhere... "

    Brilliant.

  • 4:39 priceless!!!

  • "I am going to be sooo stoned on gods love up there." Lol

  • LOL.

  • wow dude. your freakin awesome.your so funny i love how you sit up there and make yourself look completely ridiculous.aside from debate.

    you have 47 videos.if you honestly believe theres nothing there, why in the crap do you waste your time making videos, and doin research on something you KNOW isnt real. why do you care so much

  • Probably cause religious sorts take themselves way too seriously. And he's having fun...whatever.

    Also, people that think that the end of the world is right around the corner tend not to take care of it... which tends to be a problem for those thinking this is the only world we got.

  • i was being completely sarcastic.

    no hes not havin fun, hes pretty much dedicated his life to doin this.

    if theres no God hes not as smart as he makes himself out to be, cause if he was,

    he wouldnt waste his time doin this.

  • I think you grossly overestimate how long it takes to slap one of these 5 min things up here... and once every couple weeks? Come on now, I dedicate more time watching commercials.

    Supposing that though...Wasting his time doing what he likes? Doing what makes people laugh and also think about the serious questions in life? Doesn't sound like a waste to me, sounds pretty damn good. I would only hope to have that sort of impact on people.

    Sounds like you just wanna be a hater...

  • this guy is hilarious ^^

  • Is this guy a retard? Or some kind prankster? Seems like a prankster.

  • actually, its a funny thing about animals and souls and such. I found a prayer by St. Basil the "Great" specifically targeted on animals. Its a beautiful prayer to say the least, but God takes back everything he has ever created, thus animals go there too. Animals arent submitted to judgment as we are due to rational and irrational thought. We know whats right from wrong and animals dont (no matter how much you train your cat or dog) So seriously look it up, its a real comforting prayer to read

  • hehe, totally right about the stoned quirk. Even if it was a joke.

    God's love is far stronger than getting stoned.

    It'll be a natural feeling, a purposeful feeling.

    Even though you tried to make it sound like a funny.

    As for the pain, that's an awesome point.

    It supports the way I explain hell.

    The same feeling you feel when you kill a puppy, but stronger, forever.

    The pain only comes from you, God's not sending it to you.

    The flames are just his existence. The aren't made to torment.

  • But a sinful selfish heart will feel horrible in his love.

  • Comment removed

  • Not bad...but, then there are sociopaths that don't really feel anything, which, could be the reason they do sick stuff like kill puppies.

    Hell, some people probably get off on it. So what can you do if hell depends on you feeling guilt or not? ...or rather that feeling having to come from oneself instead of a god.

  • That's the point. The colder/ harder the heart, the less likely it will get along in his presence.

    He calls himself the all consuming fire, The fire is in heaven and hell.

    The only thing different is the persons hearts.

  • The only problems I have with that interpretation, is that they're already unfeeling so why would exposure to him do anything...though okay he is supposed to be omnipotent so I suppose he could get over that...but then.... along those lines why didn't he make them feeling to begin with?

    There's a lot to suggest that sociopathy is a neurological disorder, developed or inborn.

  • The other more poignant problem is the notion that it would be eternal. I can't imagine a person, a dynamic being, who would be exposed to this that wouldn't change as a result of it. The metaphorical fire should eventually warm their hearts.

    We are talking about an infinity here, people change their ways in a matter of years, let alone thousands and thousands of years.

  • tweak we aren't talking about natural fire.

    We're talking about holy fire.

    If you understand like I do, it is to love yourself in place of everyone else, it's to do something that is self centered.

    In this state, you lose your genuine feelings of love for others, heart becomes cold.

    You enter into the after life in this state, into the holy presence, you aren't going to eventually start loving others. You're going to start to hate more and more while you're in self agony.

  • I just don't see why this would be the case. Aside from postulating about the nature of "god's fire" or presence and what it would do to you... (I think it would heal anyone, you think it would hurt some forever). Loving oneself isn't incompatible with loving others. It's not either/or... there's plenty of love to go around.

    In fact a little bit of love for yourself is healthy. If you don't take care of yourself to a certain extent you can't hope to help others.

  • There just seems to be a strained attempt to turn things into a win/lose zero-sum game. Could it not be possible that everything turns out alright, for everyone? That, just as in life, what happens in death becomes a learning experience as well? What if we learn to forgive ourselves as god would?

    Instead of holding ourselves to an impossible ideal, going "You know what, beating yourself up about it isn't gonna get anything done, we're all human, just resolve to do better, and learn from it".

  • Last comment: This seems to be getting further and further away from scripture, and more based on ones supposings.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it might warrant recognition.

    The interesting thing I find in all this, supposing things are how you described, one's religion doesn't matter... as long as one honestly tries to be a good person, and has a good heart.... who cares about specific belief eh? :)

  • It's very Scriptural.

    Jesus says, out of all the commandments ther are 2 that are greater, if you obey these two, you will be obey all the rest.

    1) Love God.

    2) Love others.

    Which leaves only one option for sin. Loving yourself.

    If you love other people than yourself, you won't commit adultery.

    Committing adultery, and every other sin is loving yourself and neglecting someone else.

    It's very scripturally correct.

    As for your last question. I'll answer with another.

  • That doesn't follow at all though. That 1 and 2 are good, doesn't mean that thing "3" isn't good.

    Not-good, would only imply not-1 or not-2. Ie NOT loving god and NOT loving others. This is explicitly the opposite. Citing two kinds of love as not sinful wouldn't mean that another kind is sinful, in fact it sets a trend to make it easy to assume all kinds of love are good.

    Walking is in a sense, not loving others, because it's a different thing than it, but walking does not equal NOT-Loving.

  • Is there anyone in the world or history who was born in nature who hasn't a self focussed heart?

    I'd say no there isn't. We all are born with sinful watch out for yourself first instincts.

    Except for one, One who was born with the spirit of God inside him.

    Who knew his purpose and desired his purpose to give up his freedom, so that he could share that spirit with us.

    The only way to supernaturally change is with that spirit of love and truth.

  • masterbation, killing and fighting isn't a big deal in nature because in nature, if you decide to be peaceful with all the forest loving animals such as wolves... and snakes... you will soon find out that they don't care and will make you their little wimpering bitches before you can say "praise jesus"

  • I say there are lots of people. The problem with the theory that everyone has a self focused heart is that it's un-falsifiable.

    Observe every action one makes, the bad actions support that theory obviously, the good actions we can twist around in an explanation of "they do it for praise from others" or if no ones around "they do it to feel good, themselves".

    Tinted lens makes everything seem tinted...or "tainted".

    You can't look in the minds of others and see their true intent.

  • "they do it to feel good"

    This can be true.

    I mean, the only time you can do something that isn't self-focussed, is when you do something completely illogical to your reasoning.

    I believe, not saying I know, but the only time you can illogically love someone is when you are overwhelmed with the holy spirit.

    It's happened to me a few times.

    (cont..2)

  • And that's the ultimate contrast, the atheist believes it can happen (love) without god. Nothing against him,he just doesn't exist. And observationally, atheists xp love just as any.

    I, personally (not speaking for all atheists) also don't buy that we always, or even often maybe, act from self-focus. We're very complex. We sometimes simply do things out of habit, sometimes because we follow models of others we grew up around; no feelings, no pain/pleasure just an ease in where our thoughts go.

  • tweak I'd like to believe everybody "wins" too.

    I wish the good for everyone.

    But in all reality, that "win" concept is what gets them into hell.

    That self focused mindset and heart.

    They have a free will, so the sadness I find is that I can't do anything about it in my own will.

  • If you wish good for everyone, meaning you wouldn't send them to hell, that would mean you're more forgiving than god

    Yet god is supposed to be more loving & forgiving than anyone. In short, what you're saying is blasphemous.

    In reality you -can- perceive a god that would be forgiving, working to help them change for the better, rather than damning them to suffer eternally, but that's just not what the bible says?

    So why stick with it if it doesn't make sense? Brains are god given, bibles...

  • To not create is for God to not exist.

    Like I said, the only thing different is the heart of the individual, God never changes being holy and just.

    One who is self-focussed is a crime to one God loves.

    He can't change that zeal, that love. Even if it's someone he loves that committed a crime against someone he loves.

    In hell, or should I say in heaven, when a sinner enters into heaven, the caring love will be hell to him. His heart will not be compatible with God's heart.

  • Parts of this were unclear, the first sentence for instance, what is that in reference/response to?

    Anyway, the trouble with self -love or self focus being a crime, that doesn't fit with Matthew 22:37 which essentially says Love others as you love yourself. If it was criminal he wouldn't want s to love ourselves at all, which then means we shouldn't love others at all, which makes its ridiculous.

    To your last line, I simply don't believe that, all life experience shows that love is healing.

  • If you don't love everyone, you won't feel create inside a presence that loves everyone. Do you see the picture? A picture God gave up control over so that we could have a free will to be able to love and choose things.

  • Wondering though, the picture of us always acting from self-interest, (or self-focus) doesn't seem to be one of free will. Either we can act other ways, or there isn't free will in any meaningful sense.

    And about its unfalsifiability, imagine the problem ingrained if we applied the same theory to acts of god. The same logic could say that "every act of god was done for his own self interest, disprove it".

    (Making things worse, in the bible he commands us to love him and worship only him...)

  • It is free will, for even if we were to love without us desiring to, that still is love.

    To sacrifice our greater desires for love isn't sin.

    It's hard to do, but we all have the ability to do it.

    He did create us to want things, but the right things. The things that won't neglect others.

    Like loving a God who will love others.

    What I'm saying is having a desire isn't necessarily sin, why are we programmed with it? But what we use it on can be sin.

    Everyone worships something.

  • So do we or don't we always act from self-interest? If we do, we always have that formula guiding our actions, and following a formula is not acting freely. We need to be able to determine and move between formulas and motivations to action.

    Being created to want specific things is also like programming a robot, no matter if it's the right things or not, it's still robbing free will. One should be able to determine ones own wants.

  • no. seriously.

    What would you possibly find a reason to worship? lawnmowers? Ice cream? Really big rocks?

  • The only thing you can come up with, would be something completely shallow.

    The answer I give, you wouldn't understand, conteplate, nor relate to.

    In other words, you wouldn't get it.

    It wouldn't seem logical to you.

    Lack the sensitivity and love of the holy spirit, and you won't understand why worshipping is great.

  • So you've given up your previous assertion that 'everybody worships something'?

  • Yes everyone worships the one thing that brings them the height of their pleasure.

    But when you worship God you end up different.

    As I stated, everything you fall into worshiping that isn't God, is a counterfeit of God. Something to replace his absolute pleasure that a person was created for.

  • Worshiping anything, especially fictional characters, is wasting the one life you got. But then, it is yours to waste.

  • So you're saying worshiping sports, your girl, your brain, science, a celebrity, the effect of drugs, etc. is not a waste of time?

    Yet, worshiping these things makes you a parasite to the world.

    When it's about yourself, you're just getting what you want. Your desensitizing yourself to things you don't know exist, or things that are more serious that you take them for as you grow up like this.

    I think it's less a waste of time to worship something that gives you love for others.

  • maybe you should look up what 'anything' means.

  • Yet you can't help it. You can't escape your nature to worship something.

    Least you get depressed and whither away.

    I'm pretty sure there's something in your life you hold as most important to you, something you enjoy the most, something that might give you pride or happiness.

     though, I don't think you'd ever admit it right after your previous statement.

  • worship • noun 1 the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity. 2 religious rites and ceremonies. 3 great admiration or devotion. 4 (His/Your Worship) chiefly Brit. a title of respect for a magistrate or mayor. • verb (worshipped, worshipping; US also worshiped, worshiping) 1 show reverence and adoration for (a deity). 2 feel great admiration or devotion for.

    The only time a normal person would come close to this is when falling in love.

  • That's the definition now. maybe the correct definition. But that's not the definition the bible gives it, and that's not the definition that's used int he bible.

  • you can have love for others without worshiping fictional things...The mind doesnt have to require a set standard of belief systems in place to get you to express love and care for other people.you can worship nature for example, which allways has more things to learn constantly and the books are endless, and they continue to produce more material as time goes along.Nature is a beautiful thing and creates happiness to the mind and a sence of self actualisation can be achieved through it

  • You can have a limited love for others.

    There's only one hole to fill, when it's felled with something other than God, love is limited.

    You will be flawed, your love will betray people.

    Yes you can worship nature. You can worship anything.

    But God is the only one who is the everlasting stream, which gives you 10times fold the love you give to him.

    It's like tapping a well into an underground river of love.

  • A limited love / a hole to fill / i will be flawed / betray people / 10 times fold back what you give in love? hmm this seems to directly intent to insult and judge me rather than inform me. My love is only limited to the admiration and genuine nature of what i express and feel, the only hole i need filled is more more knowledge, puting 10 times the love and maybe times back equally, but otherwise i love and care without the desire to have it matched or outdone

  • I only read one comment. I know I didn't say much in the topic to need 4 replies.

    You're adding to the topic, which I do not care for.

    Slow paces are best.

    and I'm sticking to the first one right now.

    It's not judgment, for it's speaking in general, it's also biblical.

    Judgment is fair, only by the judge.

    Though I'm talking about nature.

    You can only focus on one thing at a time.

    But if the focus is on God, then you'll be sure that everything else will be loved by you without you even trying.

  • how is focusing on nature only focusing on just one thing at a time? how is just focusing on this god not a perfect example of focusing on one thing?.just...wow, i don't think you are ready for this type of cono

    why is it that christians cant put up a logical arguement? you guys have had 2,000+ years to be able to find a challenging arguement.not you,your beloved ted haggard or anyone.all we get is childish fairy tale delirium in response as an arguement? for doing your research for you? a pity

  • I don't know who ted haggard is.

    You a mouth full of word unneeded to be spoken.

    You can't just put people in a box and assume everyone is the same. Because when they aren't you waste a whole lot of time assuming.

    If you focus on nature, you can't focus on people genuinely, you can't love them sincerely, you'd basically be putting them in a box of nature and treating them and caring about them like test tubes. The love would be on their nature, not on them.
