a wise man in christ judgeth all things. they are all children off the devil and wait and see on judgement day when its comes we all will witness all things.
I am not a christian because i refuse to get on my knees and blow jesus every sunday, christians don't care about the future because god's going to cum down and save them from the mess they've made, its pornography... it'll never happen. The true god of the christian is money. Fistianity is just another failing religion, a crutch club filled with addictive personalities and spiritual ignorance!!!! };-.)>
@Antonvonalt yo Antonvonalt bro ive been homeless on and off for 4 years and am still walking with God. its not about money its about his love. if he blesses me thats fine if he doesnt i will still love him and praise him because he was perfect and died for me because i sinned. i am far from perfect so i needed a perfect savior to die for me. trust me i get you on the church thing. my mom is a pastor and puts her ministry before me. but God loves the church and i love God= ILOVETHECHURCH
@aajs777 why u gotta talk like that? he changed & pod has been with god forever & brian is with god no doubt if ur gunna be against that.. dont comment at all if anything ur bringing down people for god they're going out & reaching out to kids & people for god... obviously u need to check what being a christian is all about cause these guys know at this point what being for god really is.. remember its not about what what u look like its about whats inside and what u put out there
this is evil, i dont believe for one secound that this guy from korn and pod change. look at the guy from korn, his hair is the same way and the look in his eye is still demonized. The lord gives is true people the gift of deserning and man i tell you this these men are not of God. it another deception that satan is doing to get people into christian rock. if the root and tree is evil then the fruit it bears is also evil. no bad tree can give good fruit. seek first the kingdom of god.
i want this to be a lesson to people. most christians would have talked bad about this guy saying hes a sinner and what not. but if we stop doing that and accept more people like this and dont judge them, like god says not to, then maybe more people will see that christianity is about kindness and not hating people and will be more willing to come to christ
i heard my first korn song when I was 9 and I got sucked in..
I'm 22 now and while I still listen to that type of music occasionally I know it's not a good reflection of who I am in Christ. Also it's really cool to see these guys get saved and speaking to the younger generation
@jtkkowal it's not religion. I love God and am a Christian. But I'm not religious. Religion is having a set strict lets of way to do things. Are there things you shouldn't do. Of course. But they aren't to control you, or harm you. The reason I'm not religious, is because sometimes I take something in the Bible, A lot differently then my youth pastor, or Big Pastor of my church. I love church because I can worship God, and Worship him by playing music.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a women with lust you have committed adultery with here in your heart? If God judges u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
no they didnt turn "religious" dude, Christianity is a relationship with God there is a difference. they are living a good and righteous life, what wrong with that?
I met/saw Head's show yesterday... sweaty hug, signed converse, and picture. Yes, this was random. Yes, this will probably get at least seven dislikes. But it was an awesome experience.
so fieldy's band Stillwell has Wuv from POD...and head worked with sunny from POD, there is a KoRn connection there. there needs to be a reunion or special appearance soon. the KoRn guys arent druggies anymore, he can come back!
Praise God. I saw them and met Sonny last year. Acts 4:31
And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.
I have no interest in telling other people how to think or what they need to believe. This simply works for me. If you or anyone else thinks differently, no problem. Live and let live. Anything worthwhile in life needs to be discovered, it can't and shouldn't be imposed on anyone.
@abramhaley - True, but when that research leads to testable claims, then evidence, then proof; we gain fact and knowledge. Research leads to absolutes. And the point is that is how science works and not religion or the psuedo-science of creationism.
But what's your point? You read through that whole tread and decided to say that one little thing?
Lots of debate about how Christianity impacts the world. For me, it ended years of drug abuse, helped me recover from child abuse, and led me to a career in social services/law enforcement where my job was to locate missing children and return them to a safe living environment. The message of God's love shown in Jesus has only done good things for me, and I'm truly thankful.
@Arc666 I changed the channel.However I felt a need to refute ur assinine claims.You've claimed that your belief in superstition has helped you gain strength yet that is hardly something to be proud of.In fact,this shows great weakness.Religion is for weak minded ppl, most of whom are incapable of merely believing in themselves.No one can say 4 sure whether any God has ever existed.Those who claim to know are delusional/mentally ill.Pray to Santa next time,he'll come through 4 you just the same.
@fukinblowme You and I aren't as far apart as you might think. I don't "know" that there is a god. It's a belief I have. Could be right, could be wrong. I don't cling rigidly to it as some form of objective reality. It's subjective. You don't share that belief or worldview and I genuinely respect that. Also, yes, my perceived "need" for a God is an indication of weakness. My life with drugs and violence was out of control. When I turned my life over to a higher power, things changed.
@fukinblowme jesus are you god the son were you always god the son jesus are you the perfect divine sacrifice for our sins equip.org equip.org equip.org
Having reviewed some recent comments, I'm convinced that human beings in general tend to be intolerant of beliefs or worldviews that differ from their own. This is by no means limited to people who are religiously minded. I think the intolerance is a real problem. It tends to be abusive of others, and it makes listening to others and truly understanding them impossible. And yes, I think it's evidence that we could all use some help to overcome our blindspots -_^.
@ThalesInTheWell Pardon the interuption, but I've just noticed that you've accused a person of faith of being a "typcial condescending Christian." Then you go on to make some extremely intolerant (and I would suggest badly misinformed) comments about his beliefs. If you have a problem with condescension, in my experience it's best if you don't model it yourself.
@clipsryan: I think there's an important difference between disagreeing with someone's viewpoint and disparaging anyone who thinks differently than you. The latter is a dictionary definition of bigotry: "intolerant of those who differ" according to Webster. I'm not interested in an exchange of intolerance or disrespect in either direction. If you agree, I'd love to share some thoughts on natural disasters and worldview. I find many of your questions/comments very insightful btw.
Tell me how we got here, how were at a perfect distance from the sun on how the earths tilt is jus perfect, on how if gravitys pull was any less or more we wouldnt be able to survive, why everysingle star is were its at and how it got there, how plants are made and how they rotate perfectly, how charles darwin never said we came from monkeys but everybody seems to believe we did only cuz there similar to them and how were supposed to evolve eventually but yet i havent grown wings.
@jperalta711 - Seriously, you're very ignorant in science. Your arguments are from stupidity. You do know that our solar system is seperating, right? Is that perfect? We are gradually moving away from the sun and our moon is gradually moving away from Earth. And, no we are not at an exact perfect position to the sun. You do know that our rotation around the sun is not a perfect circle and that Earth's distance changes through out the year and from year to year.
@jperalta711 - Evolution is completely differnt than what your talking about. The earth is not perfect. What of earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanos, hurricanes and all the other destructive acts of nature? Your god did this? What an asshole.
You think evolution only depends on what Darwin said? You are an idiot to science. The DNA evidence of common ancestory alone is proof of evolution. You think evolution is supposed to give you wings... wow.
@ThalesInTheWell No i dont expect it to give me wings i was being sarcastic and just explain to me exactly were we come from just do that and ill except it and not write back
@jperalta711-Again, you're an idiot. I can't explain abiogenesis/evolution to you in Youtube comment blocks. If you truly want to know, look it up. But just saying, "God did it" is a cop out and pathetic.
I've seen your comments where you say "but either way im gonna believe in God regardless." It doesn't matter what science says or how much of a horrible murdering, rape and slave endorsing asshole your god is.
You're a condescending, dishonest person using religion as a weapon of elitism.
@jperalta711-There you go, again, being a typical condescending Christian. Your Jesus must be so proud of how you little teenage Christs bend his teachings and pervert his example.
I know a lot more than you think. I know that you are looking for the origin of life, that's not evolution. Evolution, as Darwin's title fits, is the origin of species. It's the answer to why there so much diversity in life. The origin of life is called abiogenesis. And not the big bang either.
@ThalesInTheWell Here I think you're correct on something. It's a historical reality that bad things have been done in the name of various deities, including Christ. As you suggest, this is a perversion of Christ's teachings and example. Since you acknowledge this, I'm surprised that you then criticize the Christian God. If the Christian God was as evil as you suggest, then followers who do evil wouldn't be perverting the message, they'd be applying it.
@Arc333Angel -Sorry, but your interuption is not pardoned. You bending my words and saying that I'm badly misinformed is a poor assumption on your part. Do you believe that because I am an atheist I am ignorant to the Christian faith and the Bible? I hope not.
As to your assesment of what i see as Biblical perversion with an evil god, I'll agree to that. And I'go further in saying that, by your logic, followers of this god are assholes as well. Thanks for further accepting my position, asshole.
@ThalesInTheWell If you want to make a case that religious people are condescending or intolerant, and that atheists are not, I don't think you're being successful. If you want to make a case that religion is abusive and atheism is not, perhaps you should leave behind the abusive language. I don't have a problem with your position, it's your hateful intolerance that caught my attention. At this point, I think I'll simply leave you alone with it.
@jperalta711- You do know when science uses the word theory, it doesn't mean hypothesis or guess or idea. It means fact supported by research, evidence, and peer-reviewed study. The evolution theory is a fact, just like the gravitational theory, germ theory, cell theory, theory of relativity and so on. There are hundreds of theories in all fields of science. The DNA evidence, of common ancestory, alone confirms evolution.
Have fun looking it up. Don't say you did and be a liar! God hates liars!
@jperalta711 - Talking to you worthless. You're so brainwashed by your faith and religion that you are going to reject science anyway. I know you're a silly teenager "on fire for Christ" and all that dumb shit. You'll stick to your god reguardless of what is a fact.
You can't prove he's real or that the Bible is true. You are a condescending, dishonest Christian. You are purposefully ignorant and stupid towards what this world is and will not change. That is horrible and makes you pathetic.
@jperalta711 Two words, you don't know shit about evolution. Tell me how a god fits into any of that shit you said and why anyone should care. Existence is proof of existence, not a god. There's no way we're the only planet to sustaine life and so we're not special just because everything about our solar system is "perfect". If things are natural, god's envolvment never happend and natural disasters don't help your "perfection" claim.
I think the only context for a meaningful exchange of ideas is one of mutual respect and tolerance for diversity. I'm happy to continue our dialogue if we can both agree on a climate of respect and tolerance. I'm in favour of that. You in?
If I projected all the worlds evils (prejudice, bigotry, cancer, Hitler, black widow spiders, sexism etc.) onto God, I would inevitably be an atheist. That wouldn't matter which God we were talking about btw. I would simply reject theism in any form, and yes I would probably find it insulting. What if my projections were not accurate though?
@Arc333Angel Then god didn't create everything and you'd still be an atheist or blame mankind for the way your god created man and the world like you've been doing. I'd say that he/she/it couldn't left out the creatures (they're not evil by the way) that have the ability to easily destroy his/her/it's "favorite" creation. Maybe not let children be born with AIDs and cancer. Oh and possibly not blame humans for NATURAL disasters destroying millions as if all those people deserved it.
I think evidence of human imperfection is abundant. What God does is offer to help us out, because he/she literally is a spirit of perfect love. We aren't invited to do this, btw, in hope of some reward. That would simply be self-interest, not love at all. We're invited to participate in a community of love, that looks to a spirit of love as its perfect source. You may believe differently, and I respect that. I hope you will also respect my right to hold a worldview that differs from yours?
@Arc333Angel You're agin claiming humans were suppose to be perfect along with anyother creature. This is an insult towards education. Help us out how? STOP MAKING THESE FUCKING CLAIMS WITHOUT DESCRIBING HOW THEY'RE DONE! IT'S REALLY GETTING OLD! Oh so you don't need heaven. That's good. I guess he'll save it for those that want it. Your worldview preaches the punishment of hell (many humans are more loving than that). Fuck no I won't respect that. An opinion on music, sure.
All human beings are depicted as being made in God's image, and being objects of his love. At the same time, all are depicted as imperfect. People can do good, God acknowledges this even if some medieval theologians do not. At the same time we're all invited to receive God's grace for our imperfections, and to welcome his love into our lives--then to share it. I think I can believe and practice this in all honesty without subscribing to a warped institution.
@Arc333Angel So what's the black widow depicted as. God's sense of humor? You need to understand that the universe is proof of the universe and not some god let alone the one you choose to believe exists regardless of his flaws and being younger than many other gods. If you need an idea of a god to spread love, your love is fake and to be honest, an insult to those who love based on loves' benefits and not some unseen reward.
@clipsryan Since the satanic intrusion into the paradise of Eden, all of creation is depicted as flawed and bearing evidence of that intrusion. Prior to "the fall" human beings and animals are described as exclusively vegetarian and benign. If the black widow is a product of someone's sense of humour it isn't God's. Also, as I've said, people can certainly love one another without God. Jesus says this quite clearly in the gospels. What we don't do is love one another perfectly.
@Arc333Angel No, sense your god allowed satan to try to inform adam and eve of knowledge and free thought, your god's ego clearly made him blame the creation he supposedly designed. You're gonna tell me that no animals of anykind died before eve came into the picture from a rib or that if the story was true, carnivorous animals wouldn't have tried to eat adam? Who's sense of humor would it be then. He created everything didn't he? Love perfectly? Like loving (god) for rewards? Gotcha.
I sincerely believe that it is possible to be a follower of Jesus--to believe what he taught and seek to apply that to one's life--without being party to oppressive institutions that bear his name. I have a Bible, not because I agree with human traditions loosely based upon it, but because some of Jesus friends recorded his words in it, and I find them inspiring.
@Arc333Angel I understand that but that doesn't mean this Jesus fellow being god makes him less responsible for how humans ended up nor does it make his teaches more useful than what man already knew when using common sense. Idolizing Jesus as just the man is fine with me but when you call him god and carry around a book that says to love your neighbor and in the same breath says, gays are evil and women are less than men, I have a real big problem.
@clipsryan They brought pre-christian philosophy and Roman cultural norms with them into their new faith...and altered it radically. At the end of the first millenium their misogynistic views were gathered by a monk named Gratian and essentially canonized. Following this, biblical interpretation and even translation was systematically altered. Even a female apostle's name was stricken from the text and replaced with a man's.
@Arc333Angel Altered and clearly allowed by this god fellow who claims to love his creation. I'm sure a loving god would make sure it's teachings weren't distorted as if there is really anything to distort that isn't already immoral. Funny how interpretation and distortion is such a common excuse by people who still preach the punishment of hell as if we need the rest of the immoral bullshit that may or may not have been original or distorted.
@clipsryan Free will is a reality. Augustine taught a God of predestination...a God who controls the behaviour of his creation. As I've said, this is a pre-Christian, extra-biblical philosophy. We really are free to distort God's words, and each others' as we see fit. God really isn't a puppet master. Instead he has a judicial side to him/her, and a gracious side. Hence references to a judgment day, and depictions of going into eternity with or without God's grace and forgiveness.
@Arc333Angel Using our brains, is reality. Free will in the context of a threatening religion doesn't exist. All you're doing is describing millions of men who ironicaly pushed these beliefs. You still have yet to prove god nor why one would care that people knew existed but gave them the mental ability to create religion and then distort it. If that was his/her intention, He/she is immoral and if it wasn't, he/she doesn't exist because he/she would be a god that failed.
Not sure why you seem so offended by a message that helps kids get off the street and find some meaning in their lives. Even if God was imaginary, learning some self-respect and beating a drug addiction are good things. If God's not imaginary, things only get better :)
@Arc333Angel But then these kids by into this fake christianity and then see the part about going to hell and gays are bad along with the adam and eve story. You can do great things without being a money loaded religious organization.
@clipsryan "You can do great things without being a money loaded religious organization." I couldn't agree with you more, and I mean that most sincerely. To me, God is love, and Jesus was love incarnate. His offer to all of us is to love us, forgive us for any time we've caused pain, and transform us into his likeness (love incarnate). That is my Christianity. It doesn't judge, bash or oppress. I set's people free.
@Arc333Angel You act as if those people in the middle east had different ideas and teaches of morality than the rest of the world. Each section of the world have there own gods and prophets with just as little evidence as yours. If it's possible to love and be moral without your jesus, jesus is irrelvant and you should be able to be moral without him and take some damn credit. Your christianity doesn't exist. It's your opinions with a christian overtone.
@clipsryan I've authored a book highlighting the fact that the Bible did not say women are less than men. In a nutshell, they (we) were created equally in the image of God, and were equally given the responsibility of being caretakers of creation. Male domination is described in the book of Genesis as a curse that only enters the picture after humanity falls into sin. In the 3rd century, prominent Roman Christians (e.g. Augustine) distorted this teaching.
@Arc333Angel So why were men created first and women created FROM men by the power of a MALE god? Why are the higher ups in religion still preaching that women must stay at home and have their husbands talk to god instead? Why are the four writers men? Why does the bible allow a MAN to rape a WOMAN then marry/own her? Why does the bible claim wives and cattle are the same (property)? Yeah, not less than men. The fuck was I thinking?
@clipsryan That's actually a misconception. The actual Hebrew word that is used in that verse is "murder." So it's, "Thou shalt not murder," meaning don't kill people in cold blood or for no reason. There's tons of killing in the Bible, but God never commands us to murder someone. That would be against his nature.
Thank you for turning away from your wicked ways and realizing that God is real.I wish more people were like you and not afraid to spread the good news. All of those who don't believe shall soon see.I feel sorry for your soul when that day comes if you too don't ask for forgiveness and turn from your ways. I will pray for you.God is always forgiving no matter what you have done.It's not too late.
@nayneyasia As if people of no faith or of other faiths don't recovery from choices they made in life. God's always forgiving huh? Great, I'll just go rape a million women, repent and go straight up to heaven. Clearly your god isn't always forgiving seeing how he has killing millions of people for the way he created them. Head is scared of going back to doing drugs so he hides from reality and places responsibility on some god of a religioin he has no clue about.
to love Him. Nope, it has nothing to do with evidence, it's offense at God's moral standard. I've been where you are man, so you're not going to convince me otherwise.
@1776iscoming The moral standard of creating a child, then letting that child suffer for years with cancer or aids and then having it die to go up to heaven and worship some god for eternity? Gotcha.
People blame God for not stopping bad things but they never give credit for good things. The thing is, God gives us all free will and we can't blame God when we make poor decisions and things don't go our way.
Why do we always blame stuff on God? Thats the stupidiist thing ever. Why cant human take the blame for starving children etc. We say God let Hitler be un office but we didnt do annything to stop him so if we wont that were here on hearth and perfectly capable why should God
@jperalta711 Tbh the notion that God is entirely responsible for everything that takes place (good or bad) is a product of flawed medieval theology. Fortunately, much of Christianity has left this idea behind.
@jperalta711 Then god is pointless though you cleverly left out the things people have no control over and that's the way they were born (with AIDs, cancer ect). If god doesn't wanna take responsibility for the way he supposedly made people and our planet, he shouldn't have made either.
@clipsryan so just because someone claims that they're doing something in the name of God, that means they are? It doesn't work that way. Can I, being a Christian, go out and kill millions, and say I did it for Hindus all over the world? No. As for the Crusades. War is not God choosing to kill or allowing it. If God intervenes, it ruins free will. War and evil are the absence of God in people's hearts in the world. Just like cold is the absence of heat. Darkness the absence of light.
@rybussell Yup. Yes it does. Yup. Yup. Ofcourse it is, that's why it happened in his name without any interference. Sounds like a better time to reveal himself. What was free will when he revealed himself to his sheep instead of letting them have free will to believe or not? Also, what's free about "believe or rot in hell"? God is the absense of everything. Religion is the absense of logic. The bible is the absense of morality.
@clipsryan When did time begin? What are the odds that the first lelf replicating organizism formed, survived, and evoluved into what we have now? Impossible. We can't even create life in a pefect environment in a lab. How is the Bible the absense of morality. Doesn't living by a moral code mean you "moral".
@bigpearlpaintball Who cares? Who cares, they're here now and if they formed in another way, guess what, they'd be different!!! Impossible? So you've seen a universe become created before? Not when the moral code isn't moral, DUH!!! Yes, the morality of using fear to force fellowship. The morality of killing sinners but forgiving believers for sinning. The morality of blaming all of humanity for two people (mainly a WOMAN) for wanting to know things and not be ignorant sheep.
@bigpearlpaintball Time began at the beginning. Time is only a concept, and if you don't believe life could have formed amidst the chaos of this planets early creation, then you need to do some research into animals, insects, plants, and bacteria that live in some of the harshest conditions. Scientists have found bacteria in hot springs that have boiling water coming out of them. Life was bound to happen in the universe, it's only amazing that you get to comprehend it.
God helped them but what about the children dying of AIDs and cancer? Thank you god for being a partial dick towards nuthuggers. Christian anything is stupid but christian metal is fucking stupid. Take some goddamn credit for yourself and stop giving some imaginary friend credit for shit you see non-christian and non-theists survive.
@charliecross2 PROVE there is ''god'' did you fuckin seen him? did you fuckin felt him? maybe... but just becuz you was high as fuck.. thats your god. alcohol and drugs... and ye.. also retardation
@haze598 Ur not making any sense man. I'm not sure what your point is or why your even bothered to comment, but here goes. Prove anything about how we came into existence? Non of us were there when the world started. Maybe u should be happy these guys are doing something positive, rather then being a self centered asshole like yourself.
@clipsryan I don't know.... Maybe consider others above yourself, there's meaning to your life. Sure you don't believe in God, but does that mean we all have to agree with you? If there is no God, then why bother arguing with me? You're just a chemical reaction right? Or are we all something a little beyond a mathmatic equation with pre-determined outcomes for our life? Seems to me like talking about a loving God makes helps the world be less of a shitwhole.
@bigpearlpaintball The meaning is subjective and what's the meaning of a childs' life that's stricken with cancer and dies before it can even go to middle school? Because you claim there's a god and I disagree. Clearly that's not the case because behind that passive assertion that god is loving, is a belief structure rooted in god's wrath. So pathetic you need love from an imaginary friend than people who actually exist.
@clipsryan Well if you want to go according to the Bible God made this world to be perfect, but Adam & Eve brought sin into the world, bringing with it death. When I spend time reading the Bible and praying it helps be be a better father and husband. The Bible is filled with scripture teaching us how to better love those around us. If you believe in God it should cause you to think more of others & less of yourself.
@bigpearlpaintball God made adam and eve so it's his flawed abilities in having humans he created doing something he/she/it doesn't approve of. All that story says to weak and fearful people is that death is your fault and there is no other way but to hop on the jesus bandwagon so you can have another life not of freedom of choice, but eternal worship of some god. Sounds great! Good for you but why should you need that help when loving your family should be enough. Take some damn credit, man.
@clipsryan If religion is so bad lets talk about what no God creates. Hitler was a big evolutionist & based the destruction of the jews on evolutionary theory of Survival of the Fittest. There's also Stalin, & Mao. To me I believe that God exist as a fact. It means that I have to do the right thing all the time & not just when people are watching. I've lost a lot of money following this principle, but I've found that i've also been blessed in the long term.
@bigpearlpaintball No, he focused his destruction of the jews for the xtian god and gave god all the credit. He was even supported by the vatican. Know what the fuck you're talking about and don't disrespect the lives of the fallen by comparing body counts. You do the "right" thing for a reward or fear of your mafia boss bitch slapping you. I do the right thing because I actually care about this world and it's people. Isn't not believing doing the wrong thing? How is that justified?
@clipsryan Now your just making stuff up. NOBODY claims Hitler EVER gave God credit for anything. He certainly wasn't religous. If there is no God then what makes something right or wrong? Aren't we all just a bunch of chemical reactions? Or is there something deeper inside us that tells us something is selfish and wrong? Humans are unique in our ability to look at our life in third person. That one clear distinction between us and animals. How did we EVOLVE that?
@bigpearlpaintball People who read his book, do. He never denounced his catholic faith. He was more religious than the majority considering he actually believed it and didn't cherry pick it to try to make it seem moral. Personal opinoin makes something wright or wrong, slave. If god said kill gays (he has) is that not wrong? Yeah, it's our consciousness. Read a book on evolution and you'll find out, lazy. Funny how we're the only species that can't destroy the earth. Nice going god.
@clipsryan He killed priest, never went to confession. Hitler didn't actively persecuit Christians, but he certainly didn't protect them either. There is no evidence that he ever took his faith seriously beyond when he when he was a child. Raised catholic, that's it. Watch "The Nazi: A lesson from history".
@bigpearlpaintball A documentary? Read his goddamn book. How many theists take their religion seriously and then claim the honest ones aren't members? He believed he was doing god's work and after praising christianity and speaking of creating an "Aryan Jesus Christ" he clearly was a jesus freak. God gives children cancer but let's Hitler be in office for 8 years. Makes so much sense.
Umm, the germans chose Hitler, like half the country chose Obama. God gives us free will and gives us the leaders we deserve when we take our eyes off of Him like the US has done. Would you rather God made you a robot?
@1776iscoming So like every other christian, you're claiming nobody has free will without you're god having something to do with it? Did he rely on man's free will when he sacrificed himself to himself to prove he was god? NO! He gave people a reason to belief he exists (according to the book of lies) and has yet to do the same for the people constantly relying on faith now. I don't believe in god but where's the difference between a slave and a robot. Believe or suffer is mental slavery.
No, Jesus didn't come to show that God exists. Every single person who has ever walked the planet knows in their hearts that God exists(there are no atheists). Jesus came to save sinners, period. Jesus humbled Himself, came to this earth and allowed humans to crucify Him. He took God's wrath for the sins of those that would repent and put their faith in Him. Again free will, you can either accept God's free gift of salvation or live apart from him for eternity, it is your choice.
@1776iscoming Another theist that knows zip about his/her own religion nor atheism. What a surprise. So people of other faiths, know your god is the right one because it's YOUR god? I strongely believe there is no god (atheist, Sherlock) and would never worship one if any of the hundreds of gods (many created before yours) were true. Jesus supposedly came to earth to set a trap for xtians to believe that moral living wasn't good enough and blind faith was the only way.
@1776iscoming He sacrificed himself to himself to give his followers an excuse to sin and crawl to his feet in shame. Apparently Jesus didn't give a shit about the people before the stories, nor after because he has yet to make an apparence yet and for some reason, those supersticiou idiots were more special than today's more evolved humans. Believe or suffer in hell isn't a gift, it's bribary and a scare tactic the pathetic slaves by into. He lets children suffer and die, I'll take hell please.
Apparently you've never read the bible, sin is never condoned. We all deserve hell, whether you want to admit it or not, we chose to broke God's law and rebel. Until you lay down your pride, admit you're a sinner, you have no hope man. It's not evidence that "atheists" are looking for, in fact, I have no doubt if God was to appear before the whole world right now, the people that hate him and deny Him now would do the same thing, the people that love Him now would continue..
@1776iscoming So you'd never call slavery a sin? Well, in that case you have a point which is why the concept of sin is irrelevant in the real world along with the bible's views on good and evil. This may be why most xitians follow very little of it (if you claim the moral parts are only picked up from the bible). You claim I already know god but wanna rebel. The problem is you have to already believe in something in order to rebel and even if I did believe in YOUR god, I'd still rebel.
@1776iscoming Apparently, it's a sin to be born so I'd say that the bible's opinions on good and evil should never be taken seriously. If it's a sin to kill,god has broken his own rules. If it's asin to be jealous, god has broken another of his rules. The bible condones murder to an insane degree while claiming some moral guy's death excuses these actions...but I haven't read it right? If god appeared, I'd still rebel for he's not worth worship. Your god is as real as Allah, Vishnu ect.
@clipsryan The God you seem to envision truly isn't worthy of worship. You're reacting to medieval ideas about God that were used to foster dependence on a corrupt institution. If you have an interest in this, I'd recommend a book entitled "The End of Religion" by Bruxey Cavey. He does a very thorough job of differentiating God from religion. I found it to be very insightful. Head touches on these issues in his song "Die Religion Die."
@Arc333Angel Not medieval, bronze age. Well, modern age considering the teaches of this god are still being preached (along with the teaches of older gods). If your god exists outside of doctrine, what's his/her/it's relevance to the world? Yes "Die Religion Die" where he complains of the many rules in religion set forth by the god he claimes doesn't associate with them. Head also carries around a religious book while stating this claim. It's a theists way of making their God unresponsible.
@clipsryan Well, tbh, God isn't responsible for "religion" of human origin simply because they choose to hang his name on the door. In fact church history is full of examples where those in power frowned upon expressions of faith that did not submit to institutional authority. Those who questioned infant baptism, for example, were drowned to death by "the church" of the day. The battle against abusive religion is not fought under the banner of atheism alone :)
@Arc333Angel I realise that but it's more honest in atheism and agnosticism. Regardless of the church using or "misusing" religion, an all powerful being has to step in to prove if it's for they way he is worshipped or not. To be honest, the god or supposedly exists, created man knowing he would create religion so it still comes back to the blame being this creator's.
@clipsryan The paper trail still exists, however, and there are a number of excellent books on the subject. More recent biblical translations reflect these findings. Similarly, God doesn't hate gays. Hate groups claiming to be Christian may, but God certainly doesn't. Christ portrayed himself as God taking upon our form to communicate his unconditional love for all of us, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.
@Arc333Angel Than why do most gods (not only yours) show distaste for homosexuals? Why is homosexuality (before these hate groups came about) made to be so evil? Why doesn't the bible approve of them and explain that Adam and Steve along with Jenaveve and Eve are fine too? So sad that such a "loving" god and religion needs so many excuses for it's past. You honestly think the judeo/christian god approves of homosexuality (as if we should care if he does or not)?
@clipsryan The Bible depicts all of us as imperfect and this includes the area of our sexuality. To say that homosexuals or heterosexuals are in different categories to God is simply bigotry. We are all in need of redemption and transformation. If we're willing to have our sexuality transformed by the love of God, I believe it can become something loving and even potentially life-giving. I believe this was God's intention.
@Arc333Angel A perfect creator can create imperfection? Nice contradiction there. Well, god is a bigot. What can I say? Is a child with cancern in need of redemption and transformation? Not likely, and I'm not concerned with your beliefs. You either prove your god even exists or stop using him as a weapon for your irrational yacking.
@clipsryan Well it's beliefs we're discussing, not hard science. Tbh, neither you or I can "prove" God does or doesn't exist. Do you really think that your beliefs or worldview are the only correct way to understand things? What would you call someone who thinks he or she is right, to the exception of all other views, and looks down and an insults people who think differently? If a "religious person" did what you are doing right now, what would you call it?
@Arc333Angel Actually, it's all of the above. I don't need to prove he exists and I don't need to respect the idea he does. Especially, when this idea manipulates the way humans think and act. No, that's what religion claims/thinks. I'd ask for their justification instead of crying like a baby and not be surprised if hell worship was criticised. I'd call it a theist being a theist though you're claiming I'm unjustifiably attacking religion as if religion gets a pass on criticism.
@clipsryan "stop using him as a weapon for your irrational yacking." These comments of yours are not a critique on religion. They're also not what I would consider an example of respectful dialogue. I'm happy to exchange ideas with you in a context of respect and tolerance. Is that acceptable to you?
@clipsryan The God of my understanding (yes I'm a recovering addict ^_^) does not give people cancer, nor does he appoint people like Hitler to rule nations. Hitler had his own propaganda machine, and was elected into office by the will (somewhat coerced and manipulated mind you) of a group of people who were struggling and bitter after a previous conflict. Many causes for various cancers have been found. None of them happen to be a spiritual being.
@Arc333Angel Hitler believed in god and believed in the bible's teachings. If god had a problem, he could've and should've stepped in. I would've. Nothing happens to be of a spiritual being. That's what you don't get. You try to give your god all this credit but when the negatives come out, you blame mankind, sin, the devil and anyother excuse that clearly doesn't fit with your initial claim of god creating everything and this god is perfect.
@clipsryan So then stop watching this video! and stop hating on believer because we don't even care about what you guys think. DO YOU GET IT >? WE DON'T VALUE YOUR OPINION SO PLEASE jst stop bro.. if you don't believe on it be it! we do not care!

Having reviewed some recent comments, I'm convinced that human beings in general tend to be intolerant of beliefs or worldviews that differ from their own. This is by no means limited to people who are religiously minded. I think the intolerance is a real problem. It tends to be abusive of others, and it makes listening to others and truly understanding them impossible. And yes, I think it's evidence that we could all use some help to overcome our blindspots -_^.

@ThalesInTheWell Pardon the interuption, but I've just noticed that you've accused a person of faith of being a "typcial condescending Christian."

If you have a problem with condescension, in my experience it's best if you don't model it yourself.
Arc333Angel 10 months ago
@clipsryan: I think there's an important difference between disagreeing with someone's viewpoint and disparaging anyone who thinks differently than you. The latter is a dictionary definition of bigotry: "intolerant of those who differ" according to Webster. I'm not interested in an exchange of intolerance or disrespect in either direction. If you agree, I'd love to share some thoughts on natural disasters and worldview. I find many of your questions/comments very insightful btw.

We're invited to participate in a community of love, that looks to a spirit of love as its perfect source. You may believe differently, and I respect that.

All human beings are depicted as being made in God's image, and being objects of his love. At the same time, all are depicted as imperfect. People can do good, God acknowledges this even if some medieval theologians do not. At the same time we're all invited to receive God's grace for our imperfections, and to welcome his love into our lives--then to share it. I think I can believe and practice this in all honesty without subscribing to a warped institution.

@Arc333Angel So what's the black widow depicted as. God's sense of humor? You need to understand that the universe is proof of the universe and not some god let alone the one you choose to believe exists regardless of his flaws and being younger than many other gods. If you need an idea of a god to spread love, your love is fake and to be honest, an insult to those who love based on loves' benefits and not some unseen reward.

@clipsryan Since the satanic intrusion into the paradise of Eden, all of creation is depicted as flawed and bearing evidence of that intrusion. Prior to "the fall" human beings and animals are described as exclusively vegetarian and benign. If the black widow is a product of someone's sense of humour it isn't God's. Also, as I've said, people can certainly love one another without God. Jesus says this quite clearly in the gospels. What we don't do is love one another perfectly.

Following this, biblical interpretation and even translation was systematically altered. Even a female apostle's name was stricken from the text and replaced with a man's.
Arc333Angel 11 months ago
@Arc333Angel Altered and clearly allowed by this god fellow who claims to love his creation. I'm sure a loving god would make sure it's teachings weren't distorted as if there is really anything to distort that isn't already immoral. Funny how interpretation and distortion is such a common excuse by people who still preach the punishment of hell as if we need the rest of the immoral bullshit that may or may not have been original or distorted.
clipsryan 11 months ago
@clipsryan Free will is a reality. Augustine taught a God of predestination...a God who controls the behaviour of his creation. As I've said, this is a pre-Christian, extra-biblical philosophy. We really are free to distort God's words, and each others' as we see fit. God really isn't a puppet master. Instead he has a judicial side to him/her, and a gracious side. Hence references to a judgment day, and depictions of going into eternity with or without God's grace and forgiveness.
Arc333Angel 11 months ago
@Arc333Angel Using our brains, is reality. Free will in the context of a threatening religion doesn't exist. All you're doing is describing millions of men who ironicaly pushed these beliefs. You still have yet to prove god nor why one would care that people knew existed but gave them the mental ability to create religion and then distort it. If that was his/her intention, He/she is immoral and if it wasn't, he/she doesn't exist because he/she would be a god that failed.

@clipsryan "You can do great things without being a money loaded religious organization." I couldn't agree with you more, and I mean that most sincerely. To me, God is love, and Jesus was love incarnate. His offer to all of us is to love us, forgive us for any time we've caused pain, and transform us into his likeness (love incarnate). That is my Christianity. It doesn't judge, bash or oppress. I set's people free.

@Arc333Angel You act as if those people in the middle east had different ideas and teaches of morality than the rest of the world. Each section of the world have there own gods and prophets with just as little evidence as yours. If it's possible to love and be moral without your jesus, jesus is irrelvant and you should be able to be moral without him and take some damn credit. Your christianity doesn't exist. It's your opinions with a christian overtone.

@clipsryan I've authored a book highlighting the fact that the Bible did not say women are less than men. In a nutshell, they (we) were created equally in the image of God, and were equally given the responsibility of being caretakers of creation. Male domination is described in the book of Genesis as a curse that only enters the picture after humanity falls into sin. In the 3rd century, prominent Roman Christians (e.g. Augustine) distorted this teaching.
Arc333Angel 11 months ago
@Arc333Angel So why were men created first and women created FROM men by the power of a MALE god? Why are the higher ups in religion still preaching that women must stay at home and have their husbands talk to god instead? Why are the four writers men? Why does the bible allow a MAN to rape a WOMAN then marry/own her? Why does the bible claim wives and cattle are the same (property)? Yeah, not less than men. The fuck was I thinking?

@clipsryan That's actually a misconception. The actual Hebrew word that is used in that verse is "murder." So it's, "Thou shalt not murder," meaning don't kill people in cold blood or for no reason. There's tons of killing in the Bible, but God never commands us to murder someone. That would be against his nature.

@jperalta711 Then god is pointless though you cleverly left out the things people have no control over and that's the way they were born (with AIDs, cancer ect). If god doesn't wanna take responsibility for the way he supposedly made people and our planet, he shouldn't have made either.

@clipsryan so just because someone claims that they're doing something in the name of God, that means they are? It doesn't work that way. Can I, being a Christian, go out and kill millions, and say I did it for Hindus all over the world? No. As for the Crusades. War is not God choosing to kill or allowing it. If God intervenes, it ruins free will. War and evil are the absence of God in people's hearts in the world. Just like cold is the absence of heat. Darkness the absence of light.

@rybussell Yup. Yes it does. Yup. Yup. Ofcourse it is, that's why it happened in his name without any interference. Sounds like a better time to reveal himself. What was free will when he revealed himself to his sheep instead of letting them have free will to believe or not? Also, what's free about "believe or rot in hell"? God is the absense of everything. Religion is the absense of logic. The bible is the absense of morality.

So pathetic you need love from an imaginary friend than people who actually exist.

No, Jesus didn't come to show that God exists. Every single person who has ever walked the planet knows in their hearts that God exists(there are no atheists). Jesus came to save sinners, period. Jesus humbled Himself, came to this earth and allowed humans to crucify Him. He took God's wrath for the sins of those that would repent and put their faith in Him. Again free will, you can either accept God's free gift of salvation or live apart from him for eternity, it is your choice.

It's not evidence that "atheists" are looking for, in fact, I have no doubt if God was to appear before the whole world right now, the people that hate him and deny Him now would do the same thing, the people that love Him now would continue..

@1776iscoming So you'd never call slavery a sin? Well, in that case you have a point which is why the concept of sin is irrelevant in the real world along with the bible's views on good and evil. This may be why most xitians follow very little of it (if you claim the moral parts are only picked up from the bible). You claim I already know god but wanna rebel. The problem is you have to already believe in something in order to rebel and even if I did believe in YOUR god, I'd still rebel.

@1776iscoming Apparently, it's a sin to be born so I'd say that the bible's opinions on good and evil should never be taken seriously. If it's a sin to kill,god has broken his own rules.

The bible condones murder to an insane degree while claiming some moral guy's death excuses these actions...but I haven't read it right? If god appeared, I'd still rebel for he's not worth worship.

@clipsryan The God you seem to envision truly isn't worthy of worship. You're reacting to medieval ideas about God that were used to foster dependence on a corrupt institution. If you have an interest in this, I'd recommend a book entitled "The End of Religion" by Bruxey Cavey. He does a very thorough job of differentiating God from religion. I found it to be very insightful. Head touches on these issues in his song "Die Religion Die."

@Arc333Angel Not medieval, bronze age. Well, modern age considering the teaches of this god are still being preached (along with the teaches of older gods). If your god exists outside of doctrine, what's his/her/it's relevance to the world? Yes "Die Religion Die" where he complains of the many rules in religion set forth by the god he claimes doesn't associate with them. Head also carries around a religious book while stating this claim. It's a theists way of making their God unresponsible.

@clipsryan Well, tbh, God isn't responsible for "religion" of human origin simply because they choose to hang his name on the door. In fact church history is full of examples where those in power frowned upon expressions of faith that did not submit to institutional authority. Those who questioned infant baptism, for example, were drowned to death by "the church" of the day. The battle against abusive religion is not fought under the banner of atheism alone :)
Arc333Angel 11 months ago
@Arc333Angel I realise that but it's more honest in atheism and agnosticism. Regardless of the church using or "misusing" religion, an all powerful being has to step in to prove if it's for they way he is worshipped or not. To be honest, the god or supposedly exists, created man knowing he would create religion so it still comes back to the blame being this creator's.
clipsryan 11 months ago
@clipsryan The paper trail still exists, however, and there are a number of excellent books on the subject. More recent biblical translations reflect these findings. Similarly, God doesn't hate gays. Hate groups claiming to be Christian may, but God certainly doesn't. Christ portrayed himself as God taking upon our form to communicate his unconditional love for all of us, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.
Arc333Angel 11 months ago
@Arc333Angel Than why do most gods (not only yours) show distaste for homosexuals? Why is homosexuality (before these hate groups came about) made to be so evil? Why doesn't the bible approve of them and explain that Adam and Steve along with Jenaveve and Eve are fine too? So sad that such a "loving" god and religion needs so many excuses for it's past. You honestly think the judeo/christian god approves of homosexuality (as if we should care if he does or not)?
clipsryan 11 months ago
@clipsryan The Bible depicts all of us as imperfect and this includes the area of our sexuality. To say that homosexuals or heterosexuals are in different categories to God is simply bigotry. We are all in need of redemption and transformation. If we're willing to have our sexuality transformed by the love of God, I believe it can become something loving and even potentially life-giving. I believe this was God's intention.
