look man, nobody cares about you(not in the bad way though), only about your ideas so you might as well spit them out already.
also the whole concept of free will was introduced so to make us seem responsible for going to hell, and not god.
free will is however a trap for people who like to miss the point. even though we have it, god s still responsible for us going to hell, since he could have created the universe otherwise (assuming omnipotence)
I'd also just like to say that I believe in God and have experienced many things that confirm my belief, but these questions drive me mad sometimes. The only conclusion I can think of is that there is a reason beyond our finite minds that explains why this is so. I suppose if we knew the answer to everything we would be God, but then again it is questions like this that shun people away from an all knowing loving God. Maybe we have taken verses completely out of context...who knows.Any thoughts?
I have been asking the same question, but an even bigger twist on what you have just spoken about is"If Jesus died for ALL of us, that would mean we should all have an even chance of getting into heaven, accepting or rejecting God. But as we have been discussing, God knew who would accept Jesus and who would reject Him. So then what is the point of saying He has died for ALL of us when He knew only a certain amount of us would choose Him? It would only make sense if God didn't know our choices.
I really like your care with words — makes things very clear, which is always a pleasure. I think the punishment question you ask is important — and in my experience has yet to receive anything approaching a cogent response.
Thank you very much. I spent some time yesterday watching a number of your videos (I subscribed as well) and coming from you I take that as a strong compliment. You too use words very well in your videos and you seem to have mastered the art of speaking to the camera calmly and confidently (I'm still working on "eye contact" with the camera). I'm less than two weeks from graduation so I hope to start make a lot more videos in the near future. I even have a list of topics ready. I just need time.
why does god create the beings that goes to hell 4 not believing in him and 4 other reasons while knowing (that their fate is gonna b as such) even before creating them
That kind of is what I'm asking. The point comes down to, if God is all knowing, why does he give consequence to the actions performed that he already knew would be performed. That includes what you're talking about.
Or you have to try to realize that it will be viewed by a small part of Earth's population and that if it won't be appreciated, it simply means they can't rise themselves to your level. My opinion on your opinions is that our opinions are pretty much alike (wordplay... intended). It's a pity such values aren't showed the respect they deserve. Not referring only to you now. Intelligent guys like yourself should express his thoughts more often. We NEED intelligent opinions.
should express *their" thoughts... Don't know if i should mention this. It may sound just as an excuse, but i haven't slept much last night... or the nights before last night.
If you realized that then there's nothing to be worried about. You'll receive the feedback when you'll have finished with the camera. If you can respond to that feedback well enough not to get to you (when it's not satisfying), you'll probably do well in talking to that camera. There might also be the opposite: not having a problem with speaking to a public audience but having a problem talking to yourself... or the camera. In this case you will have to imagine that you're in front of a crowd.
like any phobias (most cases, any other case being explained by the person's fear of people taking an judgmental stance towards their speech or not believing in the success of the speech, thinking they will fail). If the thought of speaking to an audience scares you then just think at it this way: you're talking in front of a camera, no one around you to hear you, no one to "represent" that camera. You're talking to the camera, which basically is talking to yourself.
If you appreciate a little constructive criticism then the followings will not be interpreted as offensive (which i never intended to be); if you do find them offensive then i apologize in advance. Regarding the fact that some people have problems talking publicly addressing to an audience: it is actually no more than an irrational fear
Now more on to the vid and topic. Agreed. It's nice to know there are some people sharing my opinions and that can explain things from a different perspective, different from the religious one that is. It makes no sense no matter how you look at it. Full dead stop ! No need to get into any unnecessary details and debate (in vain, because they'll be stubborn and closed-minded) on and on to no end.
Could science be wrong when it gives results over and over again ? When it continually increases the comfort of our lifestyle ? When it is based on OBJECTIVE observation of nature ? These are some of the questions these believers should ask themselves. If you think of yourself as an intelligent human being, first ask yourself these questions (while being objective, not stubborn), only then reply to my posts.
Is there any solid proof that can convince anyone of "my religion being the only true religion". The religion whose god is "the only true god" ? Am i putting my blind faith solely in a "holy" book for the simple reason it is "the word of god", written by "divine inspiration" although still by mortal hands ? What are the chances i might be wrong ? Does science contradicts "the word of god" just to "test our faith" or just being the "temptation of the devil" ?
If you're a fanatic believer then you're bound to reply to the abovementioned statements in order to "explain" me or simply to bitch out (another reason why i consider it to be an insult). But for those of you that would intend to do it, why don't you make an introspection and analyze things from an objective point of view ? What if, from all religions of the world, mine is not the right one ? What if i'm wrong ? If i think of other religions or deities as absurd, what makes mine less absurd ?
Not only is this a rip off, it is an insult to the human rights. We're forced to pay for the public services provided by the adepts of a religion we (referring to all the atheists) don't believe in and ultimately by which we do not benefit. I would rather donate (even more than the standard tax used to pay public religious services) to the healthcare system, too long deficient in many countries (including mine).
That aside, i think you did a really good job with your first video.You've spoke your mind on an interesting and important topic, a topic that concern all of us, people living in a predominant religious country. Yes, it concerns all of us. As you people might or might not know, we, the tax payers have to pay even the "representatives of god on earth", those being the priests alongside all personnel of the Church, whether we are adepts of that religion... or not.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I'm sorry for the confusion, I didn't realize the info I sent might be misleading. Hopefully these videos will become better with time. I've already gotten a 1 star rating and of course whoever gave it to me didn't bother to answer my question.
Hopefully i'll balance the rating out. I'm usually a slow tiper and the Youtube comment posting system is driving me nuts by not posting all my comments and the "you've posted too much, please enter the text below to continue posting" annoying thing and many others.
Finally found it ! I sought for vids entitled "BiggestOfDaddies" but it never occurred to me it could be the username you were talking about, not the vid. Only after a second and more careful search have i found it... and that (thankfully) just for noticing the ressemblance of "this guy" to the avatar on your old channel.
also, you're smarter than that 5'th bufoon fella... that's not really a compliment, lemme try again :D
you seem pretty smart :D

Is that all you've got or could you maybe address the points being made in the video? Just curious.
