@Zenkai251 wow you really explained all of your points so eloquently as to how your opinions are vastly superior... I would urge you to either be smart enough to explain yourself or sit down and keep quiet.
@Zenkai251 You've made a wonderfully eloquent point, explained it well and wrapped up all the loose ends so elegantly!... Really? your argument is "shut up"? that is your higher intellectual ground that you're calling people ignorant from? dipshit
@Zenkai251 So are you planning on actually proving your point or just being insistent and ignorant. What would be appropriate here is if you were to actually pick a discussion point and I could chop you up into stupid little bits about that- but if you're planning on just asserting without explaining, then you're boring on top of slow... hopefully you're at least nice!

Matt was a preacher, but realized over a short time, that you people are pushing idiocy, and he was a victim to it........... Ya, not sure how that makes a person an ignorance fool, other than some kind of PRIMITIVE collection of desert scribblings asserts to be so... Desert scribblings vs ration.. GEE I WONDER...........
@parkerthehicks Well, more than half of the worlds population believes in the God of Abraham(Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc). Also, why would you want to chose atheism over faith? Does atheism give you any hope or peace?
@Zenkai251 What does how many people believe it have to do with if it is true or not. I would choose atheism over faith because atheism is the default position provided no evidence and faith is just believing because you want to believe. I have hope and relative peace, but it doesn't come from atheism. You didn't answer why I should believe the Bible
@Zenkai251 Like I said, I have read it and I don't understand how its true. please explain. On the question of hope, I have hope for the future, hope for world peace, and hope for advancement in science and learning. Besides, even if I did not have any hope for anything I don't see what that has to do with how to tell if what the Bible says is true or not. How do you know that its true.
@parkerthehicks All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 2 Timothy 3:16
@Zenkai251 Circular Argument: a type of formal logical fallacy in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly or explicitly in one of the premises
@Zenkai251 My understanding is that you think God is infinitely powerful, but he is unable to communicate the most important message to humanity with the exception with an ancient book, of which we have no originals. The Bible is just about the only place that would not be acceptable, it is just a book claiming itself to be true
@Zenkai251 The Quaran the Book of Mormon and every false prophet to ever claim that god revealed something to them take your exact position, but without evidence none of these things are on any level believable.
@parkerthehicks The Bible was written by people who were eyewitnesses to God and by people who saw the miracles that Jesus performed. The Quaran and Book of Mormon were written by a single person each and were both based upon the Bible. I don't know about you, but I prefer the original.
@Zenkai251 OK I'm going to ask you one more time. How do you know that the Bible was written by people who saw miracles. How do you know that what they recorded was accurate.
@Zenkai251 If that's what it comes down to then you don't have any good reason to believe it and definitely no good reason to call the rejection of your belief a false religion you pious jackass
@parkerthehicks Oh, so you just insult me. That's how I can tell that atheism is a false religion. Christians are much more kind and caring than that. We would never stoop to such a level.
@FellOnSoundGarden Christians of today is what I was getting at. Yes, the crusades were quite brutal. However, in the past everyone killed people who didn't agree with them; it wasn't just the Christians.
@Zenkai251 Like the popes and Hitler? both Catholic? Like those Muslim extremists? Like the KKK(christian organazation)? Oh! You're talking about *COMMUNIST LEADERS* Like Stalin and Mao Tung! Now I get it! You're confused!
@SorryStamin Hitler was a Catholic when he was young, but he gave up his faith and became an atheist when he got older. You seem to be a little confused.
@Zenkai251 No, he held the firm belief his creator wanted the Jews dead. Read Mein Kampf? He was a part of the growing majority in the German public that thought Jesus was not a Jew, but in fact a hater of the Jews. In case you don't know the Nazi movement had a strong Christian tone.
@SorryStamin You're mistaken. There has been a lot of debate and controversy surrounding Hitler's religion. Some think he was a Christian, but more say he was an atheist.
@Zenkai251 It doesn't matter if Hitler was an atheist to prove your point, most high ranking officials under him were Christian retard, generals, Nazi architects that built the camps, ect. What about the Catholic Church killing and giving false information to people, lone wolves shooting up camps with kids in the name of Jebus, Muslims blowing themselves up, the KKK, the people in africa killing homosexuals and "witches" because their God told them to supposedly? Huh?
@Zenkai251 hitler believed that certain races were divinely created and others were of infernal ancestry. even ignoring that, how would not believing in gods be a motivation to start a genocide? its not as simple as "oh well, there's no one to tell me NOT TO DO IT! ha ha ha!"
what was the basis of European antisemitism? you will find it comes from a centuries-long christian tradition.
Faith is the last ditch argument. Faith is indefensible because faith=belief without evidence or in the face of contrary evidence. But it will and can be ridiculed because it is absurd and dangerous.
@Zenkai251 I usually don't go out of my way to offend people of faith, but most of them don't really know the bible very well and speak on an emotional and or level of ignorance, rather than facts. YT, BTW, has many who are offensive...you've been warned!
WARNING/PROCEED WITH CAUTION: YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN EARGASM FROM THE EPIC RANT THAT ENSUES AFTER MATT HANGS UP ON THE CALLER. THIS IS A PERFECTLY NATURAL REACTION TO THE AWESOMENESS AND IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
This guy Matt talks to seems to be brain dead. I have found most Christians are like him. they can't give you a clear answer. check my website at biblethumpingatheist.co.uk
I would take christianity more seriously if it wasn't predicated on the idea that god is perfect and flawlessly moral. That's why I like the old polytheistic pantheons. Did the Greeks think Zeus was perfectly moral? Fuck no! He was a horny old asshole that constantly cheated on his wife (who was his sister btw) and fuck anything with a nice set of tits.
Question if gods exist does this mean the hindu or Buddist gods/faiths are moraly superior to Abrahamic based faithes because if you dont get it this time around you get another chance?
@seonidh As a person that believes in second chances I would say yes. Though the concept of reincarnation is rather flawed as well seeing as you are not reincarnated with knowledge of your past deeds or control over the situation you are born into.
@sevenbegore true it is flawed, but you have to admit threats of eternal torture for the minor offence of not believing in a god, or if you drink, dont pray, eat non-kosher foods, and in the case of Christians dont accept Jesus as your saviour merit such a crime from a loving god of all things? Its an all or nothing concept made to scare people into submission, terrified through life a mercyful god who loves them is willing to let them be tortured forever and ever. Its sick and just as flawed.
@fcdog555 wrong Buddiasts pray to Buddha he has reached Nirvana and is divine reaching perfection he is a demi-god and all humans have the ability to become a demi-god. They live and pray to him to gain enlightenment to become perfect beings like him. Therefore he is a supernatural entity. Ever heard of the Deva which means god-like or angel in Buddism? Supernatural entities that are god-like and live in a series of heavens. Lastly Buddism believe in the eternal soul its salvation or rebirth.
@seonidh True they have no creator but still they believe in god-like entities who were human that are enlightened in nirvana (perfection) and therefore became god-like. Then again its not all human effort, Mahayana Buddhists believe Buddha was a reincarnation of "Dharmakāya" being that will always exist to lead beings to their salvation. Again another supernatural god-like beings strriving to bring beings to salvation. That is very god like isnt it. You dont have to be the creator to be a god.
@pompousprick no, not really. matt would be the first to admit their are MANY questions to which the correct (or at least appropriate) response would be "i don't know". but when someone claims they don't know as a way to evade the truth, that gets to him. and i've never got the impression that he uses "memorized responses". watch more of these vids and decide for yourself, but i think all the responses are spontaneous. sometimes they will read from sources, but they don't hide it
@isaachaze1 I should have added "in this case" before "It seems". I have seen many TAE vids. I'm not sure what "truth" you are referring to that the caller is "evading".
"memorized response" was inappropriate wording on my part, "predetermined response" would be more fitting.
Matt's standard tactic is to lead the caller down a path that Matt knows is a dead end, then pounce with a predetermined punch line. When the caller walks his own path, Matt gets frustrated.
@pompousprick the aforementioned "truth" refers to the caller's inability to acknowledge that he believes Matt will go to hell. If you've seen many TAE vids, you will have seen this issue arise before, i.e., the caller states he believes in hell, and believes god sends people there for not believing in him. however, the caller will then disingenuously claim not to know if someone like matt is going to hell. in addition, i think religion itself is a "dead end," so no reason to lead someone there
Not meaning to be rude, but do you actually listen to the people on TAE? They mumble and waffle and go all over the place. The hosts tend to construct 'paths' of yes or no question-answer type dialogue because it's the only way to nail something down without it going off in a million directions with no definition anywhere. Theyre not being disingenous with the questions,other than the fact that the socratic method tends to create absurd answers because people's beliefs are absurd
@pompousprick The caller isn't "walking his own path" he's just not answering the question.
The bible is very clear on who God sends to hell, there's no if ands or buts about it. He asked the caller a simple question if they thought he was going to hell and if they believe in the bible. If they believe in the bible they must in turn believe he's going to do to afformentioned qualifier. He then simply asked if they thought that was just and the caller couldn't answer it.
If you say you KNOW God is perfect, just, kind, and loving and then say you KNOW the bible is true but then when someone brings up part of the bible and just repeat exactly what it says and ask them if they think it's just (which they must if they didn't lie on the former two statements) then they're lying when they say "I don't know" or where lying when they said they knew one of the former two.
We are catholic but are flexible and we don't read the bible. We have the morals of a good people not because we have this religion. But because we have grown more IQ than we were thousands of years ago.
I love this episode. The caller should have watched a few episodes before being so convinced, that it was HIM that would set this all straight and make it go away. Based on his answers, he obviously never considered the issues, much less read the Bible. (I did manage to read The Bible. The Old Testament is fun, so I read that five times, and the New Testament twice. Yes, I had to reevaluate "The Good Book", because I found many bad things...but I hung in there, until eight years ago.)
Ha ha ha! OMG, Matt, that may be the first time I've felt bad for a theist. How do people twist themselves everywhichaway over this ridiculous shit is beyond me.
For a so-called "former Baptist" Matt sure doesn't know the answer to some of the most basic questions... 1) Jesus bright with Him a new covenant, so the OT laws do not apply to Gentiles and 2) Hell won't be created until judgment day has finished. Matt Dillahunty is a hypocrite and a LIAR.
"Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)"
i thought god was perfect, if so then why did he get his first testament wrong, ill tell you why, because he didnt write it, men did. god doesnt exhist
@1591rich Explain to me exactly how the Earth got it's water and I may listen to you... idiots who immediately discount the OT on stuff like Noah's flood are speechless about how Earth got its water to begin with, let alone the fact that there is not enough to cover the whole planet-- well or so you think-- flatten all the mountains and you will have more than enough-- but no-- you are a heathen... where did the water come from then, punk? Even so, how did Mercury get it's magnetic field?
wow calling me a heathen just about proves how much you are living in the dark ages methinks.
well firstly water is actually all around us its main element is hydrogen, most of our bodies consist of water it originates from space being most things are made or contain hyrdogen.
@1591rich Tell that to NASA, "einstein" -- Yes, hydrogen is the most abundant, but oxygen is not... stop being a fool. Don't respond-- your too stupid to be here.
@1591rich It didn't come from comets, punk: that was proven with our latest probes-- most likely candidate is something you are unaware of... I would tell you but your IQ isn't high enough obviously.
so now your telling me you actually know the answer to this question, your a lot less smart than i initally gave you credit for. and are you really stupid as to not know where oxygen comes from. as soon as you figure that answer out my small headed friend you will have the answer to your question. ill give you a clue how do you think there is ice in space. oh i cant resist answering, your a moron there are pockets of oxygen in space that much has already been proven.
and i couldnt care less if you have friends from nasa which is probably rubbish anyway, i can show u an abundance of links of research and findings to show what i have said form viable sources. my most likely guess is your some kid sat at a computer trying hard to make yourself look intelligent.
and the reason for mercurys magnetic field is very simple it is a much denser planet than others and contains a much richer metal interior aswell as other factors such as the suggestion that the planet is internally active with this level fo metal creating the magnetic field that it has. i can give you more information if you would like.
@RayTech70 Hey Ray, I am unsure by your hostility or perceived hostility if you are a follower of Christ. If you are I would encourage you to have the mind of Christ as humility and being harmless as a dove. Let us not dishonor our Lord with our own personal attitudes. We are all Gods creation and valuable in His eyes including those who believe differently. God is not hostile toward those who disbelieve and neither should we be.
The one thing that I believe is keeping more people from becoming Atheist is the fear. That is something that the church always says is going to send you straight to hell; apostasy is the one true sin. My church practically said if you believe in god you are going to heaven.
That idea is what started me down the road to atheism. Matt/Don, thank you for doing this.
This is why christians scare me. They have developed a mindset that allows them a "reset" button on any bad thing they do
If they steal, if they murder, if they commit fraud, then in order to feel they have paid their fine/made their penance, they simple have to apologize to "god," & everything is ok. Law is secondary
If a secularist does a crime, they know the only way to even attempt to set things right is to suffer the consequences. EG-jail, guilt, recompense
@Hopeful71 I am a Christian and you are right to think this way. These individuals who CLAIM to be christians are mistaken by their attitude toward their guilt. If you read Paul's writings in the New Testiment he addresses these sort of issues in the church of his day that apply to today's church. The hostility so called christians have against those who believe something else is shameful as well. On their behalf and Christs I am sorry.
@Hopeful71 The scariest part is that some of them are in position of power to make policy. Just imagine someone who believe the Revelation writing to be true and that the War in the Middle East between Jews and Arabs are essential to Christ's return, and this person is an adviser to the President or even becomes president.
why do christians act so stupid? because they are weak minded to begin with. to believe in jesus and the disgusting god of the desert requires self sacrifice and ignorant dogma. The caller in this video is so blinded by false facts that he is willing to fight for a cause that never existed to begin with and can't even possess the basic morals of Humanity... it's so so sad to see the majority of humanity thriving on this garbage. it makes me want to vomit.
Yahweh and Allah are monsters (would be if they existed) for torturing the vast majority of people that have ever lived simply for not being convinced by the (awful) arguments for their respective existence. And that's just the glaringly obvious top of the iceberg. If you read the Bible or Qur'an, or simply watched this video, you wouldn't have needed to ask the question.
@akylae101 My reality is, I love my God. We have been relating together for many years now. He brings peace, joy, fulfillment, comfort, security the list of good goes on and on. Until you really get to know Him your perspective will one sided. That is how it would be, looking in from outside any bodies life. The bottom line is you have become Gods judge without really seeking to understand who God is. Not just looking at what He does. When you learn who He is you will find great contentment.
A person should be judged for their actions. According to the Bible and the Qur'an, Elohim / Yahweh / Allah is forever torturing the vast majority of humans. Torture is monstrous. The Abrahamic god is doing monstrous things. Therefore, he is a monster.
I have no knowledge or opinion of your personal imaginary friend.
@akylae101 Tell me where in the bible that God tortures any one. I don't follow any other book or God because they are false. Tell me where His act is of a monster. Give me specific book, chapter and verse. If you are to make claims like this you need to provide the evidence.
Genesis: story of Noah - entire world drowned; story of Lot - firebombed 2 cities.
Exodus: polluted the only available water source for an entire desert nation, sent disease on them, mass starved them via locusts, sick cattle and dead fish, then killed all their first born - because 1 man was an ass.
@akylae101 I also want you to know that I worship my God. It is not because He tells me to. It is not because He makes me. It is not because I fear punishment if I don't. I worship the one true God because it is a response of my heart. My heart responds to the heart of my God and what He has done for me. Heaven will be filled with individuals with hearts responding to how much God values and treasures His creation. I understand that since you feel differently you want no part of being in Gods..
Look man, I don't care about your imaginary friends. I'm not rebelling against anyone because I don't believe anyone is there to be rebelled against. Heck I'm not even sure which god you're talking about. The Abrahamic god is the same to me as Odin or Brahman or Zeus - made up. I don't worship him because I don't worship Santa - they're not real. I think he's "evil" in the same sense Darth Vader is - utterly irrelevant.
@akylae101 Presence. God will never make you to be in His presence. You have a free will and both God and I respect your free will. All the hard and difficult things you see in the bible are to bring about this reality. A Choice of individuals to want or reject God. God want's individuals to want Him. He made enough beings to automatically worship Him. He want's every individual to respond in His love for them. Those who choose to reject God will get their wish for eternity in darkness.
1 - You have no more evidence for Yahweh's existence than Hindus have for Brahman's. Your claims are as relevant as theirs - not a t all.
2 - Even if anyone had evidence of god(s), claiming to know the mind of the creator of the entire universe would still be the height of arrogance.
3 - Cursing every person ever born with death, for a harmless action made by their distant ancestors without the mental capacity to understand right and wrong - That's about as evil as evil gets.
According to the Bible, God confused the tongues of all mankind, ensuring that there would be far more rivalries, divisions, and wars. One of the greatest avenues of peace and understanding is a shared language and culture, particularly if there is a free exchange of ideas among anyone within the societies. One of the great hopes of the internet is that it will connect everyone in the global village.
Only a monster would drive people apart like that.
@dorsk188 I am assuming you are referring to Genesis 11 1-9 First of all Rivalries, divisions and wars come out of mans Greed not from God. Second,as the population increased men on their own would have began to move to other areas as rivalries, divisions and wars increase through their own personal conflict. The use of this passage to judge my God in this way is disrespectful. I respect your perspective even though I know my God differently. Maybe you should get to know Him more before judging
@dorsk188 That is the biggest load of bull that I have heard. Language has nothing to do with rivalries, divisions and wars. I have a girl friend from India and even though we don't speak the same language together we have more harmony than previous American relationships of mine. Besides, If that were true then their would only be conflict between differing language countries leaving no conflict in same language states and countries. Someone is feeding you bull and you take hook,line and sinker
@craiglcontracting I said MORE division. I didn't say it was the only source. That's strike one for your basic reading and/or reasoning skills.
God confounded language SPECIFICALLY to prevent cooperation. That's what the damn book says. For you to pretend otherwise is patently dishonest or it's strike two for your reading / reasoning skills.
I don't even know how to respond to the idea that lingual divisions aren't divisive. Can you explain how you are not an idiot for saying that?
When the aliens come to resurrect all the believers and take them to the heaven nebula and gives us all our own planet + immortality and sex robots you will wish you believed in them when you were alive.
There is no "god," there is no "hell" or "heaven" and religion is all bullshit for the WEAK and hopeless... If you need a fictitious being in your life like Santa clause or Satan or the tooth fairy in order to help you sleep at night then I guess you are that dumb... It's a pity really.
Matt would ask christians if he is going to hell. I would have to repond yes he is. It is not about being good or bad. Every human who makes theirselves greater than God will be going there oneday. Following in satins foot steps. He wanted to be like the most high god. The same with Adam. The serpent told him he would be like god. This is the bottom line the root of all rebellion and pride. This cause's individuals to go to hell.Unless you repent and bow your knee to Jesus, Gods Son,so will you!
Spot on matt.. spot on!

Supernatural entities that are god-like and live in a series of heavens. Lastly Buddism believe in the eternal soul its salvation or rebirth.

@seonidh True they have no creator but still they believe in god-like entities who were human that are enlightened in nirvana (perfection) and therefore became god-like. Then again its not all human effort, Mahayana Buddhists believe Buddha was a reincarnation of "Dharmakāya" being that will always exist to lead beings to their salvation. Again another supernatural god-like beings strriving to bring beings to salvation. That is very god like isnt it. You dont have to be the creator to be a god.

pompousprick 8 months ago
@pompousprick no, not really. matt would be the first to admit their are MANY questions to which the correct (or at least appropriate) response would be "i don't know". but when someone claims they don't know as a way to evade the truth, that gets to him. and i've never got the impression that he uses "memorized responses". watch more of these vids and decide for yourself, but i think all the responses are spontaneous. sometimes they will read from sources, but they don't hide it
isaachaze1 8 months ago
@isaachaze1 I should have added "in this case" before "It seems". I have seen many TAE vids. I'm not sure what "truth" you are referring to that the caller is "evading".
"memorized response" was inappropriate wording on my part, "predetermined response" would be more fitting.
Matt's standard tactic is to lead the caller down a path that Matt knows is a dead end, then pounce with a predetermined punch line. When the caller walks his own path, Matt gets frustrated.
pompousprick 8 months ago
@pompousprick the aforementioned "truth" refers to the caller's inability to acknowledge that he believes Matt will go to hell. If you've seen many TAE vids, you will have seen this issue arise before, i.e., the caller states he believes in hell, and believes god sends people there for not believing in him. however, the caller will then disingenuously claim not to know if someone like matt is going to hell. in addition, i think religion itself is a "dead end," so no reason to lead someone there
isaachaze1 8 months ago
@pompousprick
Not meaning to be rude, but do you actually listen to the people on TAE? They mumble and waffle and go all over the place. The hosts tend to construct 'paths' of yes or no question-answer type dialogue because it's the only way to nail something down without it going off in a million directions with no definition anywhere. Theyre not being disingenous with the questions,other than the fact that the socratic method tends to create absurd answers because people's beliefs are absurd
Gidwan 7 months ago
@pompousprick The caller isn't "walking his own path" he's just not answering the question.
The bible is very clear on who God sends to hell, there's no if ands or buts about it. He asked the caller a simple question if they thought he was going to hell and if they believe in the bible. If they believe in the bible they must in turn believe he's going to do to afformentioned qualifier. He then simply asked if they thought that was just and the caller couldn't answer it.

Yahweh and Allah are monsters (would be if they existed) for torturing the vast majority of people that have ever lived simply for not being convinced by the (awful) arguments for their respective existence.

According to the Bible, God confused the tongues of all mankind, ensuring that there would be far more rivalries, divisions, and wars. One of the greatest avenues of peace and understanding is a shared language and culture, particularly if there is a free exchange of ideas among anyone within the societies. One of the great hopes of the internet is that it will connect everyone in the global village.

Second,as the population increased men on their own would have began to move to other areas as rivalries, divisions and wars increase through their own personal conflict. The use of this passage to judge my God in this way is disrespectful. I respect your perspective even though I know my God differently. Maybe you should get to know Him more before judging

Besides, If that were true then their would only be conflict between differing language countries leaving no conflict in same language states and countries.
