  • Christians are so fucking retarded I swear

    Crazy Christian has appeared... I chose you Atheist! Crazy Christian used bullshit... it missed! Atheist used logic... its super efffective! Crazy Christian has just fainted... Oh wait, Atheist is ""EVOLVING"" it became Fact... lmfao

  • he said.. 'ill sacrifice a goat for you'

  • caller: "I'll pray for you"

    Russel: "Okay. Well, i'll sacrifice a goat for you, thanks for calling"

    (...)

    Don: "Lot's of things we could have said there."

  • this is the dumbest caller they have had.

  • I hold the world up with my testicles.

  • Why ya'll find it so hard to believe there is no god? HUH?

  • I don't want to live on this planet any longer... So I'm going to step into space and fall down away from these lunatics...

  • God is Michael Jordan spinning the earth on 1 finger, explaining the Mariana Trench. That's why the earth spins, duh.

  • I don't understand how they can deal with these calls everyday, I'm losing hope in humanity and I've only watched 4 or 5 videos lol

  • It's on the back of a giant turtle. Duh.

  • Gravity motherfucker, have you heard of it?

  • Everyone knows that turtles are holding up the Earth.

  • LoL, Malcolm was high as fuck.

  • I feel so guilty for nitpicking but its cenTRIPital force.

  • @AlexChanNZ No he said "the sun's gravitational force pulling it in and centrifugal force pushing it out are equal." He's worng because centrifugal force is fictitious. You however are also worng since the Centripital force is the sun pulling the earth towards it. The forces are actually unbalanced so the earth is in constant acceleration, which is why we rotate around the sun.

  • @boteromi LOL Where did you get this information from? please do some more research or stop trolling.

  • @newtubeusername Centrifugal force represents the effects of inertia that arise in connection with rotation and which are experienced as an outward force away from the center of rotation. In Newtonian mechanics, the term centrifugal force is used to refer to one of two distinct concepts: an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" force) observed in a non-inertial reference frame, and a reaction force corresponding to a centripetal force.

  • @newtubeusername A centripetal force is that by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or in any way tend, towards a point as to a center (I.E. the sun's gravitational force) to follow a curved path at a constant speed you have to be constantly accelerating towards the center of that circle. The earth's constant acceleration is where the coriolis effect comes from.

  • @AlexChanNZ I noticed that too. Centrifugal force does not exist.

  • It's amazing that they let this dumbass into space... Well, at least he claims to have been in space to see that the earth isn't held up by anything, all tho I think it's more likely that hes just assuming that the people who wen't to space were telling the truth? I don't know.

  • I like to play this at 2:18:

    watch?v=TNxBOmV9tUY

  • you guys acted a bit smug.

  • Be good if they could do the interview without all the condescension and smugness.. even as hard as that may be. They come off as a-holes, and who would want to listen to or agree with an a-hole?

  • @Vids4UNI They do not come off as a-holes. Maybe to you, but I agree with them wholeheartedly. Maybe they come off as a-holes if they act a little bit arrogant to someone, but that's only when that someone is as stupid as this one. And you've got to admit, this person was pretty stupid.

    Sincerely, a non-arrogant, tolerant person that tries to reason with people, up until the point they don't even get basic things like gravity.

  • @Vids4UNI The show's been on for sixteen years now, and they've had to deal with the "the universe is so amazing God must have done it!" argument hundreds of times. It's pretty understandable that they laugh it off, or else they'd go nuts.

  • Its obviously turtles

  • Wow....I didn't think anyone could be THAT stupid.

  • Hold the earth up from what? Is what they should have asked him.

  • Hold the earth up from what? Is what theu

  • WOW! just wow...

  • what's holding UP the earth?

    what came BEFORE the big bang?

    WHO created humans?

    seriously theists?

  • I know some of these people are not particularity intelligent but you should try not be quite so condescending to them, its not always their fault and laughing at them does not really help our cause. Try to use smaller words with them, but be kind huh guys?

    Other than that I really enjoy the shows.

  • @offendedatheist From what I've seen, most of the callers on this show have an air of arrogance about them to begin with. "Why don't you believe? What's wrong with you? Paganist pigs! You're going to burn in hell...." blah blah blah. Sometimes its hard not to respond in kind..

  • deres nothin holdin da erf up...derp derp derp

  • duh atlas is holding up the earth as punishment for siding with the titans in their war with the olympians.... everyone knows that

  • @dumaznbum Nah, that's the sky brah.

    Common misconception. I'm just too damn pedantic.

  • @dumaznbum It was written in a ancient text so it must be true! Is there any churches of Atlas to pray too?

  • Comment removed

  • But da buybull sayz dat da urth is a disk held up on pillurz. derp!

  • Every religious person always tells me the same thing,

    "I will prayer for you"

    

  • GOD HOLDS UP THE EARTH! ...Period!... Just look really hard at the globe and you'll see God's finger prints in the snow in Antarctica just between the word's "Rand McNally" and "Made in China" Dumbass!

  • "I'm not mad at you guys" he says, after his claim was completely shattered. Instead of acknowledging defeat he jumps to imply he shóuld be angry at them, but isn't, he should call offense or blasphemy or have them villified for their non-belief as they did in the olden days, but he doesn't and therefore expects to be praised for not doing any of that. And then he retreats knowing he can't prove it, with a 'I'll pray for you', the friendly version of 'in the end you'll know I'm right'. Bullshit.

  • @viridismonasteriense I know that feel.

  • I can only watch the show or clips if Matt is in them, he's the man, the rest fail

  • @meloveanna

    well they don't fail, but matt does kick ass more than anyone

  • "I'll sacrifice a goat for you" ha ha ha ha XD

  • Nothing holding the earth up? Can't you see the strings? ;)

  • 2:30 I think you might have blown his mind for a moment there... seriously, I think his brain hit a brick wall at the concept of up and down being meaningless... this is why people who don't know exactly how different space is from a planetary environment like Earth shouldn't talk space. Exactly how much knowledge you need is debatable, but I think that is a clear demarcation line for the point in which you absolutely need to do more research.

  • @NoxVulpes You have to wonder wether he thinks people in china simply fall of the earth or if he thinks the earth is flat :D

  • Austin is full of christian morons. Glad I don't live in fucked place like that.

  • @spareaxe It's actually a lot better than any other place around it. Austin is a fairly liberal city (for Texas standards anyway). The UT-Austin campus is a big force for reason around there, but it is still Texas, where it's all about barbeque, football, and Jesus.

  • I will also sacrifice a goat for that guy...hope some day he understands gravity

  • what would happen if i was on this show : i wouldn't even give these dumb motherfuckers any airtime. I would not entertain dumb questions such as what holds the earth of up. these guys are fucking patient.

  • I had a prayer at school.....a non religious state school >.>

    Fuck it

  • @Emlis16 thats against the law

  • "Things aren't held up in space. There is no up in space."

    Silence. Mind Blown Silence.

    LMAO

  • howcome idiots like this never call in when matt is on the show now? those two always get callers like that lol

  • Rusell has a hard time judging the intelligence of callers and adapting his mode of argument to that.

    I knew in the first 3 words that the phrase "sentient beings" however simple, was never going to get across.

  • I don't care who holds the earth as long as Atlas holds the sky^^

  • But where did gravity come from?

  • @Jubblejex Gravity has been shown to be a side effect of large amounts of mass, the huge amount of mass that makes up the earth pulls it together, the earth is held in place by the gravitational pull of our sun but is kept from being pulled in by it's intense speed. Interestingly it has also been theorized that time is also created by large amounts of mass and/or energy, meaning that without mass there is no time.

  • Wow was that guy ignorant. Maybe its not his fault but that caller was incredibly ignorant. He probably should have spent more time in school and less in church. This is why religious institutions LOVE to spread ignorance or places FULL of ignorant people. They are SO much easier to convince with this flimsy garbage that they come up with. If this caller was actually educated I think he'd have a hell of a lot harder time believing the crap he apparently does.

  • this is not a prank..this really is how shallow religous thought is

  • Newtonian gravity? I have heard some guy called Einstein to disprove Newtons theory so it's not Newtonian gravity that explains the earth holding on it's place on suns orbit.

  • @Erholts Sounds like you are ignorant on that subject. "I have heard" Ya dude, I dont think you are in any position to be making claims of what is and isnt newtonian physics. The fact is centrifical force, pardon my spelling, and gravity are very simple physics principles and likely ARE Newtonian in origin. Look it up then make a claim

  • @JohnCx666x First of all. "I have heard" was a little thing called sarcasm. Second. The FACT is that Newton never knew why gravity exists or what it actually is. He just pointed out that there is the force that PULLS everything towards the ground. However, Einstein later proved that gravity is actually a force that PUSHES things towards the ground and is due to the mass of the planet and it is considered a many times proven theory that contradicts Newton for obvious reasons.

  • @Erholts Because of the language barrier.(English is not my native language) I don't quite know what Newtonian gravity in this case means? But by the name of it I would ques it means Newtons theory of gravity which in turn is incorrect.

  • Love the Monty Python inspired intro.

    BTW, the caller sounds like Snoop on acid.

  • Why do people listen so well to the b.s. being taught in Sunday School, but fall asleep in junior high science class?

  • @Brenda2OOO people are lazy, god is the easy answer

  • "sentient beings do not create universes". Yet. Who knows what kind of crap we'll eventually get up to.

  • "What is holding up the Earth?"

    The fact that there's no "down".

  • "Hello?"

    "Fashow."

    LOL

  • He's got the whooolleeee world in his hands. Earthquakes are just his Parkinson's flaring up.

  • @dagda825 lol@ whole world in his hands,parkinsons flaing up. have to use that one.

  • "why is it so hard for you to believe there is no god?" freudian slip? lol

  • The earth is a slice of oak tree, resting on a turtles back!

    There are 4 elephants on the turtles back to stabilize the earth.

    Whats holding the turtle up?

    It's just turtles all the way down, one on top of the other.

  • God must have a room somewhere with a shitload of brains he forgot to give people.

  • @snoopyd80

    I'll put together the team, you get the blueprints to the place.

    We're stealin those FUCKIN BRAINS!

  • @Confusedfurry I'm in. :)

  • @snoopyd80 I think it would be more fair to say that god confused his shitload room with his brain room and accidentally put loads of shit where some people's brains should be.

    Nah, that's a lie, it isn't fair at all. These people are victims of a long tradition of ignorant folks passing on stupid beliefs to innocent children. It's fun to joke about them and all (and oh so very therapeutic when they get smug and assholish like Malcom here) but they're still victims of Stupid.

  • @EdwardHowton not a truer word was spoken than what you just said! :)

  • I feel bad when grown people have to be spoken to like children just to make a really simple point.

  • Poor guy. He's really ignorant...

  • It's like talking to a 4 year old.

  • Comment removed

  • Yahoo! Answers advertising failed!

  • Racist Evil Lying Insidious Genocidal Inhumane Oppressive Nonsense

  • 'well i'ma pray for you.'

    'okay, and i'll sacrifice a goat for you.'

    LOL

  • when the caller screws up his first statement, it can only go downhill from there.

  • This dipshit jackass needs to read more about physics, biology science and shit. He's a motherfucking moron. Another typical theist. Stupid is as stupid does and all that. :)

  • Every call ends with believers saying that one day you will meet god and yadda yadda. They never actually listen to the points and retreat before they have to admit defeat.

  • @TonyEvans96

    - "Actually life was found on other planets... last I checked."

    Check again.

  • @TheAtheistExperience Alright, let me ask a question and give a statement. Many planets have been found with near-earth conditions (be it size climate sun whatever). Everything considered, even "random chance" is there not a large if not certain possibility that life, single or multi-cellular, exists. I'm not going on a blind-faith, and not taking stuff for fact. Just asking for a percentage-backed yes or no.

  • @TonyEvans96 percentage-backed? here's one...100% of theists are dumbfuck idiots. If you think that Earth is the only planet in the entire universe...fuck that...just our galaxy, you're a fucking retard. Go eat a bowl of Cheerios laced with cyanide.

  • @TheCrimsonification T"that supports life" I left that part out because I'm drunk and stoned...WHAT!?

  • @TheCrimsonification Uh, I am Atheist. I thought I'd heard of a planet a year or so ago in which they supposedly found a planet with vegetation (green), but I may be confusing it with a planet which had the same amount of water-land size ratios.

    98% of Theists are dumbfuck idiots. 2% of theists are failed abortions who need an excuse for their existence.

  • @TonyEvans96 If you just heard of Niburu a year or so ago, you need to play catch up. Niburu is a Red Herring as is the Illuminati's Bohemian Grove" satanic rituals were purposly leaked. All 100% of theist are a tiny part of a larger parasitic cancer. Yo don't negotiate and discuss morals with a virus, you destroy it. Religion id a disease.

  • @TheCrimsonification Of course not. The virus has no sense of morals. centuries of dark ages persecution and execution proved that much for starters. The same virus has left more dead in its wake than one could care to count. Even the holocaust was ordered by a Catholic virus.

  • @TonyEvans96 Religion is a virus, a parasite, a leech on humanity that needs to be eradicated. 80+% of the planet is religious...we're living in a fucking Zombie Holocaust and can't even see it. The zombies want our brains...or our death...whatever...they rule with their empty dead eyes andtotal mindless bliss. Hail Sauce, Full of Beef. R'Amen.

  • @TheCrimsonification now you're becoming a bigot and your claims are unfounded.

    I suggest you take a step back, reevalutate yourself, and return later when you might not insult the whole of Atheist community.

    Please

  • @TonyEvans96 I agree with him, and anti-theists are becoming more and more popular (or at least more outspoken).

  • @Fortune2point0 uh? Agree with me or crimson? Or someone else?

    Atheists are becoming more outspoken and public. Recent government-religion merging bills are stirring discomfort. It's becoming intolerable and borderline, if not already, illegal. Most theists don't understand precisely what the freedom of religion entails. The thrusts who do know enough about it are using public lack of common knowledge to manipulate it.

  • @TonyEvans96 With Crimson.

  • @Fortune2point0 what specifically?

  • @TonyEvans96 That religion is bad for society/the human race and should be eradicated (although I'd use a different word for it probably as that as a violent connotation).

  • @Fortune2point0 and I 'would' agree, though it should be handled realistically. One does not wipe out 80% of the population for being evil. Religion by itself is fine. Many if my friends re religious and even my best friend is Muslim. The problems only arise, for U.s.for example, been the majority forget that the same right that enables their religion, also allows atheism. The only truly wicked thing about religion today is its manipulation in order to benefit a minority.

  • @TonyEvans96 I did not say that we should kill the religious people. I said religion itself should be eradicated. I want it to be eradicated via the spreading of knowledge and scientific literacy.

  • @Fortune2point0 Just going off the words you used, one of which WAS eradicated, and does have a more violent connotation. Back to realistically though: The only way to kill off a religion would be to 100% remove its followers (through reason or through the lack of new/young believers). All we can do, in anticipation of that day several hundred if not thousands of years from now, is defend what education system we have left from the narrow-minded theists that seek to destroy it.

  • @TonyEvans96 I completely agree. We need to improve our education systems, spread knowledge and scientific literacy, and promote rational thinking wherever possible. It'll never be completely gone, but we can at least restrict it to asylums or small sects rather than the vast social majority that it currently inhabits.

  • @Fortune2point0 As I said, realisticly. We may remove modern religions in a few thousand years, but more will always spring up, and probably with new holy books that aren't nearly as self-contradictory, absurd, immoral, or scientfically challenged.

    

  • @Fortune2point0 I take it back. The most legitimate religion we're going to get, is that of the flying spaghetti monster. I've seen pictures of it, but there's no pictures of god.

    FSM: 1

    God: 0

  • @TheAtheistExperience W8 W8 W8 when was this D: IM NOT UP TO DATE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME FAST I MUST KNOW!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheAtheistExperience Amino Acids though were found on Asteroids and meterorites we have examined in space... obviously not a planet but still.

  • @Sevenfold120 Amino Acids aren't life.

  • @TonyEvans96 No, there has not been found life (bacteria) on other planets, yet.

  • @MikeyZeov - Your sentence structure is horrid may I point out. Water and ice has been found on other planets so far but there has been bacteria found off of meteors from space which means that "yes" scientists have found bacteria from other planets. (or at least orbiting asteroids and meteors.)

  • @Thenewfallingsacred your sentence structure is gay, may i point out.

  • @TonyEvans96 no, they found organic matter and they found stuff in a meteor that looked like bacteria fossils but they were not bacteria

  • @TonyEvans96 The caller cast doubt on there being sentient life on Earth.

  • This caller has to be a troll, no one can be this fucking stupid.

  • @Astrophysicsist Sure they can It's easy, just accept that Jesus is a god and died for your sins...fuck it....religion is a waste of thought. It's a useless schism of moronity.

  • 3:55 -> "That`s what you believe..."

    No, damnit! When will they finally get it?!?! This is what we do NOT believe! we do NOT believe that the god God or any other god exists.

    They are so keen on believing stuff that they are completely unable to understand the notion of NOT believing something.

  • Jus anotha dumbass christian

  • How dumb do people get??? My goodness! Don't people graduate from highschool anymore.

  • @rdoetjes Yeah. They do. It's just that high school doesn't actually teach them anything.

  • Russel looks like William Hurt

  • I hate when people call in just to rant and don't listen to anything the hosts say. If you want to publish your manifesto, start a goddamn blog.

  • "I will sacrefice a goat for you" - LOL!

  • the thing about it is, people who dont believe in god are not just giving up. they still try to find proof. they just arent leaning on the understanding of others.

  • "Christians are extremely easy to handle"

    -Richard Dawkins

  • I actually broke out laughing when I heard this idiot say "what's holding up the earth" what a clown, LOL!!!!! I personally award him the clown of the day award.

  • We're held up by magnets. Now if we only knew how magnets worked...

    (Don't hate me because I'm wrong. Hate me because I'm bad at trolling.)

  • @therealjammit Magnets - how the fuck do they work?

  • @57worldwide When you look at the spin domains of individual electrons orbiting around their orbits, you notice they start dragging an electrostatic field around them in space. This moving field induces electrons in other atoms in certain materials to spin in an opposite direction causing a force that can be measured as a static magnetic field. Or magic.

  • @therealjammit I was quoting a line from an ICP song. I assume you haven't heard it.

  • @57worldwide Whoop whoop.

    Sorry about that. I was trying to be snarky and didn't pull it off. I guess it's less funny when I try to explain it.

  • @therealjammit /watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs

  • @57worldwide Thanks. Seen it before.

  • OMG lol

    

  • 2:35

    An atheist should know better... that is NOT why the earth stays in orbit. The gravity of the sun pulls the earth, this pull gives rises to a centripetal force directed TOWARDS the sun, and this keeps the earth rotating around the sun at (basically) a fixed speed.

  • Christian, if you read these, I'd tone it down just a little. You come off as confrontational sometimes and that does nothing but hurt your stance. Cool minds prevail. If you poke fun at them, you bring yourself to their level. Just my opinion. Otherwise, I like what you guys do. It's like talking to a wall, but keep it up anyway.

  • CLARIFICATION: ITS NOT WHAT ITS 'WHO" IS HOLDING UP THE EARTH HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST I.E.GOD.

  • @62Elvis writing in caps make you look like a retard. Then again you might be one

  • @62Elvis You're a Dhristian that has no clue about Christianity. In your religion, Jesus Christ is the SON of god, he is not god himself.

  • @yuugur666 I mean Christian*

  • @yuugur666 I have seen Elvis statements elsewhere on YouTube. I do believe they are trolling.

    As to your claim about Christianity - it depends which denomination. Catholics believe the Father - Son - Holy Spirit are not equal in power, but the same thing. It's not like Christians all believe Jesus is only the son of 'God', some do believe he is 'God'.

  • It's turtles all the way down man.....

  • what do you mean by "up"? do mean "up" from the point of view of an american or "up" from the point of view of an australian,"up" is in the opposite direction for them.

  • The tide goes in. The tide goes out. We don't know why.

  • @sbagg88 Yes we do know why, why people keep saying stuff without even searching for it first? I'm gonna stop watching Atheist and religious videos because people like you say stuff like that without knowing what they are talking about...There's a guy called "minutephysics" here on youtube, he has a video explaining the tides if you are interested....

  • @anonymous5by5 he is quoting/mocking Bill O'Reilly who said that btw

  • @anonymous5by5 I was JOKING! That's what Bill O'Reilly says, and we all know he's an idiot. I know exactly why there are tides. I was pointing out the stupidity of such arguments. Don't stop watching anything because of me. LOL

  • Foolish Atheists, everyone knows that Atlas holds up the Earth. If it weren't for Him, we would all fall and die.

  • @killerkerara Nonsense! Science has known for well over a year that the Earth rests on the back of an enormous turtle-- Who, furthermore, is friend to all children!

  • @GoblinXXX Don't be so ridiculous I've a unicorn in my garage impaled on the earth - I mean holding the earth up on his horn

  • @killerkerara And he doesn't have a sabbath! Wtf with these damn lazy deities nowadays dammit!?!?!?!?

  • @killerkerara Actually, in Greek mythology, Atlas was punished by holding up the sky.

  • @Ekit357 Good, because if he stopped the earth we'd be in trouble. See the wisdom of the gods?

  • @killerkerara Infidel, the world is clearly balanced upon the back of a giant turtle, which is itself standing upon a great elephant.

  • @killerkerara Lies! Earth is flat and resting on top of four elephants standing on the great turtle A'tuin as we soar through space! Everyone knows this!

  • nooo you fool! everyone knows the Grate Tree Yggdrasil holds the Nine Realms from collapsing in Ginnungagap. Odin Himself planted it. He also made Midgard out of the giants Ymir's dead corpse. everyone knows that.....

  • How did God create the Universe? I mean by what method? What was his technique?

  • @paramattic70 Silly rabbit, logic is for kids.

  • @paramattic70 He seems to have worked mainly in hydrogen. ;)

  • You silly atheists. Don't you realize that Newton recanted gravity on his death bed? There is no such thing.
