  • You ignorant son of a bitch! When u put it like that sure it sounds stupid! I hope that gods light guides u in a path that makes u more understanding

  • One thing is sure yahweh has alot of mental issues he often forgets things. Remember* if you ever see yahweh and he is about to kill you have a foreskin nearby to throw at your feet it will save you..yahweh will then be happy.It worked for Moses (Exodus 4)

  • Yes, you missed Gnosticism =) but you hit every branch falling down that perilous tree of ignorance

  • It's unbelievable that I see people in the comments still making excuses for this cockin bull story! Good job DP. you gained a subscriber.

  • @DeistPaladin You must accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You have all your life to do this. If you don't you will go to hell because you didn't accept him. Now this is the only just way of doing this. Your soul can't be with God because that would be God FORCING you to accept him. That would be torture to have a God FORCE you to be with him forever. Please don't spew any more lies.

  • Has no one noticed that as far as Jesus being "sacrificed" goes, well feel free to sacrifice me too if I can get up and walk away 3 days later!

    Big deal. What kind of sacrifice is THAT??? It would be like a rainy long weekend. meh.

    How do people swallow this bullshit??? It defies imagination!

    Hey DP, why don't you do a similar one on Noah, that's even better if you ask me.

  • @warren52nz I'm getting ready to upload a video close to the subject of sacrifice asking why blood sacrifices make anything better at all.

    See Non-Stamp Collecter's pwnage of Noah (look in my subscriptions).  I can't top that.

  • @DeistPaladin Thanks DP. I'm sure I know the NonStampCollector videos you mean (2 of them I think). I came across them last week. Excellent.

    re: blood sacrifice. Of course anyone who's done the research knows that the whole idea of Christ dying for our sins is a modification of sacrificing animals for our sins (scapegoat) in the Pagan religion.

    What's with these guys? Can't they take some personal responsibility for their actions? Do they always have to lay it on someone else & then KILL them?

  • @warren52nz Wow, I often wondered why that didn't strike anyone else. I've asked that question many, many times. If he was to rise on the third day, then where's the sacrifice? In his place I'd get crucified just for the heck of it if I knew I was going to rise after three days.

  • @EruditeScythian "I often wondered why that didn't strike anyone else"

    LOTS of obvious things don't strike Christians. For example if Noah had 2 of every animal on Earth in a boat (uh huh, yeah right!) how did he get the kangaroos back to Australia?

    I've had Christians come back to me thinking they're smart saying "the continents were together back then (silent Duh)" not realizing that the continents haven't been together for over 100 million years and Noah was less than 10,000 years ago!

  • @warren52nz Wow, that would have been some pretty rapid movement for pangea to split into the continents we know today in just 4000 years. 

  • @warren52nz I feel the same way, and for that matter how did Noah manage to find and collect every insect in the world, and how did he manage to put them back, and what about viruses, and bacteria, did he carry all of the ones that can't survive without a host organism onto the boat inside the animals, inside himself, inside his family. Why aren't viruses mentioned I'll tell you why, because back then they thought viruses were just evil magic or something. Also where did all the water come from?

  • @TheLuckyShadow It's sad that people even have to debate the Noah's Ark myth in the 21st century, it's shameful.

    As Jim Jeffries said:

    "It seems that the Bible doesn't contain anything outside a 5 mile radius of the guy who wrote it."

    To the enlightened this makes perfect sense but to the delusional... well I don't know what they think but I've heard a lot of far fetched dodges.

    If God's omniscient then why didn't he predict the situation where he'd have to kill everyone? "Uhhh. FREE WILL!"

    8^D

  • @warren52nz One word for ya my friend

    Lag.

  • Christianity is wrong.The truth is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three separate entities.Because of man's disobedience sin entered into the world. Jesus was sacrificed to cover mans sins just like when God sacrificed a lamb to cover Adam and Eve's nakedness. Now if we accept Jesus he allows us to live a life free from sin and return to God when we die. If we don't accept Jesus we will receive the punishment for our sins when we die. Religion is satans way to keep man from returning to God.

  • @exion18 Good response. Like I said to DP, hell is a place for people who don't accept Jesus. Here's a question you may find good to ask to people who question afterlife/hell/God. "Would it be worse to go to hell, where there is no more God than light. Where the rules will never be important anymore. Or would it be torture for God to FORCE you to be with him." People put themselves in hell. And yes, you are correct about religion. GOD BLESS YOU exion18.

  • @exion18 and santa clause is coming to town

  • Well, that's really the ground concept of it.

  • 1) I am God

    2) I am the Snake

    3) I am the Walrus

  • @RedDaVincy coo coo ca choo!

  • I think the whole "in a nutshell" thing isn't working. At all. For people who don't understand at all, maybe a bit. AND THE FRUIT WAS NOT MAGIC!!!! I really hate when people say that. God and Jesus are not the same person. Please try to understand that. I'll be praying for you.

  • Have you missed anything? Only 99% of the story, and all of the meaning.

  • lmfao! i just laughed so hard at the way he paused after talking snake :P very well put, i love this

  • You look like a Christian fugggk yeww 

  • John 13

    31Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

    32If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

  • Its all about God's character, when you don't understand it, you can't make sense of this and just seem evil etc.

  • @Inmatinus So there is a way to understand gods character in such a way that killing every first born egyptian is moral? or that allowing slavery is righteous? or that blaming one person for the acts of another is a just? I seem to understand his character as well as any christian.

  • @ellimist6

    What was the question?

  • @Inmatinus yup, it does.

  • I need some advice from you regarding some elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

  • @silveraussies

    The aren't foreign enough, and speak the same language as you, tho maybe you could get away with French-Canadians??

  • @silveraussies Canadians speak English that's why. Like Duhhhh

  • I thick you should do a "part 2" about explaining the whole problem of evil (lucifer rebelled, war with God, fall to earth/hell, became satan and now deceives mankind etc etc)

  • I think you missed the part where God wished the Universe into existence in a span of time equivalent to 6 rotations of the Earth, then decided he'd done a bad job so he drowned everyone except one couple who gathered 2 of EVERY land animal put them all on a boat for 40 days (and dropped the kangaroos off in Australia). Then a guy lived in a fish for 3 days and emerged alive. Then God bet Satan that no matter how badly he treated this guy he would still be worshipped by him. Plus so much more...

  • @warren52nz

    Now you're just making the whole of the bible sound ridiculous!!!!!!

  • You glazed over the fact that he impragnated his mother so he could be born.

  • omg.... that...was...hilarious. (dont comment on my comment. yes i know the garden of eden part is from the old testament which i follow. yes, all religion is twisted..i know) that doesnt mean i cant laugh...cuz THAT SHIT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!

  • That pretty much sums it up! The most ridiculous fable ever told.

  • Have you missed anything? Well, quite frankly yes! You missed the part out that reveals how ALL Darwinists sit around on branches all day long, shitting into their own hands just so they can re-eat what they ate the day before, while drinking their own Urine!

    Now that about covers everything!

  • @joekidd33

    Stalin and Mao didn't kill because Atheism told them to. ;)

    they did it because they replaced religion with Nationalism...

    people are born predisposed to be scelets, if you are atheist and have this predisposition you must replace your non-religion with another form of anti-agnostic faction.

    thus, they didn't kill because they were atheists...they killed because they loved their country over their people. atheism is NO excuse for doing something...religion is.

  • Yeah, you missed EVERYthing.

  • Cosmic jewish zombie that was his own father....etc etc....totally believable.

    Nicely done.

  • @joekidd33

    HItler's views were diametrically opposed to the Darwinian notions of evolution. HItler supported the work of Jean-Baptiste Lamark.....which Darwin and other early biologists demonstrated as fundamentally flawed.

  • Bravo! That explains Christianity very easily now. Thank you soooo much for your videos. They are a true inspiration for free thinkers.

  • HAHAHAHA great. 

  • The devil can appear as a snake or an angel of light, but usually comes to us in human form, like a human pretending to tell us what Christians believe. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12). It is not because of the disobedience of an ancestor that we die, it is our own disobedience; her disobedience allowed sin into the world.

  • @bloodbought1000 "The devil can appear as a snake or an angel of light, but usually comes to us in human form" he can also appear as a winged griffin, a flaming unicorn with laser eyes, or a multi-headed dragon with various powers. it's the 21st century, don't you think it's time to move on?

  • wow I love the sarcasm. XD

  • 1. Jesus did not sacrifice himself to himself, if I'm hearing your assumption correctly. Jesus sacrificed himself to save US from ourselves. Ironically enough, we ourselves have to sacrifice our sinful selves to become followers of God. As for the trinity, it takes a little bit of getting used to. If there is a God, then he created the heavens and the earth. We still struggle with the complexity of our galaxy, so what makes you think that understanding God would be easy?

  • @joekidd33, Religion all around is very bad! We are much better off without it. You don't need a book to tell you what's right from wrong. Our civilization would be much better off without wasting our time on religion. Also, there are VERY few cases that you can assign atheism as the reason why people do bad things. All religion has a FAR worse track record! Stalin and Mao didn't do what they did because of atheism. They were just crazy! By the way... Hitler was Catholic.

  • And you believe that we evolved over millions of year by pure luck that would about to 1 in a trillion and involved into complex humans right? From a ameba to human. Thats like taking a box of legos, shaking it and making something complex just by shaking the box. Next Try the 2nd law of thermodynamics, everything had a totally beginning. And what a way to take it way out of context, if god could create the world could he not make a talking snake? Plz

  • Sarah - I hope you are not a product of our public school system. Evolution doesn't say we became complex like shaking up legos. The BIBLE says that! You twit... and b4 you use the 2nd law, you should READ it. It deals with energy in a closed system, of which the earth is not. Everything had a "totally beginning"....you got THAT from the 2nd law?!?!?  Oh, yeah, I own a snake.. it doesn't talk. Please.. don't have children.

  • @ProportionalResponse but then what does science say?

  • @cotteneyedjoe1 What does science say about 2nd law, or Evoulution? 

  • @ProportionalResponse oh she was wrong on the second law of Thermodynamics. "The entropy of a closed system cannot decrease", that is very commonly misinterperted. Not an argument, I personnaly believe that the law doesn't really play a good role for either side. What science is, is simply what is the most logical reason for anything to happen, what makes the most sense. The problem is people are always making theories with science and then saying they will find evidence to prove it later

  • Take string theory, there is no evidence proving it at all, but people say it is creation through science. That is like someone coming up to you after you uncover a fossil and they then say, "That wasn't from a Dinosaur, it was from a bone creating energy field" and when you say there is no way to prove it, they respond: "Ah, we just haven't discovered evidence to prove it yet." That takes just as much faith to believe science. Same with evolution, there is no credible evidence.

  • When you take science in it's essence it is simply looking for what makes the most sense, and while people like to make fun of christianity, it explains the truth. A single beginning, the big bang, God's work. The Biological big bang, the cambrian explosim, DNA: a written code to life, irriductible complexity, science has no good explanation. Why can you and me even read this and contimplate the meaning, we simply became an advaneced enough system that we suddenly gained conscious?

  • @cotteneyedjoe1 "Same with evolution, there is no credible evidence."

    Hahahaha, did you drop out of Grade 3? Do you believe the Earth is flat?

    watch?v=PbcCiia1kYE

    watch?v=i1fGkFuHIu0&feature=re­lated

    watch?v=-CvX_mD5weM&feature=re­c-HM-fresh+div

    I haven't checked but I can be pretty certain you're American if you don't think Evolution is a fact..... it IS! Has been for over 40 years, It was proven before they discovered DNA and DNA just added to the evidence.

    You should be ashamed.

  • @warren52nz It's been forever since I posted this, but now reading it, I think I made it unclear what I meant. Of course evolution is real, you'd have to be stupid not to know, but where did it start? I was referring to macro. Where did life come from, and also what is the response of evolution to the Cambrian explosim, which was a very short time where life in fossil records literally just appeared out of nowhere. Where di life come from and macro evolve into us?

  • @cotteneyedjoe1 The question of the origins of life are ongoing. But let history be a lesson to all of us... when you don't know the answer (yet) don't attribute it to a mythical, magical Sky Daddy. That assumption has been proven wrong so many times that you'd be a fool to think you've got it right THIS time.

    The word "explosion" when used with Cambrian is misleading. It lasted around 150 million years! That's "only" about 4% of the Earth's age but it's a long long time.

  • @cotteneyedjoe1 "Of course evolution is real, you'd have to be stupid not to know"

    I agree of course but then what do you make of the fact that over 40% of Americans don't believe in it?

  • @sarahsaver007 "And you believe that we evolved over millions of year by pure luck that would about to 1 in a trillion and involved into complex humans right?" aside from the misrepresentations of theories, the typical "second law of thermodynamics" thrown out without any knowledge of the law and not understanding it relates to a closed system, do you realize there are card hands that are dealt around the world many times a year, the probability of which is around 1 in a trillion?

  • no you did not miss anything you are spot on =)

  • Christianity: The belief that a cosmic jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so that he can remove from your soul an evil force that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

  • NSC was right! You rock good sir!

  • lol you just got yourself a subscriber xD

  • This is exactly why I think Christianity is the most irrational of all the already extremely irrational religions.

    The trinity concept makes no sense. It is mind-boggling that anyone would ever believe it, let alone understand it.

  • scientology is worse, only because they believe in a science fiction story written by a science fiction writer

  • As opposed to a low fantasy story written by a bunch of desert goat-herders?

    I would agree with you that scientology's practices are far more evil than the mostly benign mainstream variants of christianity out there, but the basis of their beliefs is even more ridiculous.

    At least Hubbard didn't describe a flat earth with the sun somewhere in the atmosphere and an ocean over it.

  • You have it completely wrong. The instance where Christ died on the cross for our sins was because Christ was a sinless man, the only one, and was the ultimate sacrifice. That's why Christians do not sacrifice animals. The "magical fruit" was a metaphor for the fall of Man. It was not meant to be a literal translation of her eating something and being sent into damnation.

  • So that's a metaphor? I guess though shalt not kill is a metphor too?

  • 1) A system where an innocent man pays for the crimes of murderers, rapists etc. isn't a very just one. Why is Jesus an exception?

    2) If the prototype of man and all it's descendents fell from grace, doesn't that suggest there's something wrong with the Creator? 'Original sin' was probably made up to justify the atonement of Jesus, as the Jews don't believe in it.

  • Thats not exactly correct.

    They do believe in an original sin, a sin that made it possible for mankind to be cast out of what they call the garden of E.

    How many of them believe that women are less perfect because of this sin, or why they have to be in pain while giving birth, etc. in relationship with the sin, I dont know, but it is part of the horrible creation myth they attribute to that fictional character called Moses.

  • But isn't God perfect and sinless as well? Therefor, why would God have any reason to make us sinners or test us? If he's perfect there is no use for our existence on earth in the first place. In the scenario the bible describes our existence is basically a game and God is the one that made / makes the rules. He knew in advance that we would sin and that he'd have to send himself in the form of Christ to nullify it. Doesn't make any sense...

  • Liberal Christians, Churches and leaders either don't believe in the points in this video, or don't think that holding these beliefs is a neccessary part of the faith.

    However, they'll say that they practice Christianity just as much anybody else e.g. through congregational prayer and charitable work. Actions make a religion, just as much as beliefs.

  • True, I suppose. But why is this so? A simple explanation is certain sects of Christianity have EVOLVED over time to survive the advances of science, medicine, archeology, and astronomy.

  • religion is still as popular today as it ever was, as science will never fully answer why we're here, just how we're here

  • Yes but the amount of evidence that science comes up with is so overwhelming that there is no logical reason to believe in an alternative that offers no evidence.

  • Yes, you have missed the point ENTIRELY and not seeing the big picture.

  • "It is so funny when Atheists try to MORALLY JUDGE others"

    Don't you DARE try to tell ME that I have a double standard when you say this shit. You know what's so goddamn "funny" is when YOU fuck-sticks take to judging US morally, then pulling this whole "oh, well it's GOD'S judgement, not mine" bullshit right out of your asses. Just another example of using "what god thinks/says" as an excuse to discriminate against others. You're already halfway to the Berlin rallies, my friend.

  • And again, NO. Darwin was AGAINST eugenics, i.e. the theory that one race is "better" than another, and thusly more fit to live. The idea of there being a supreme race through "social Darwinism" is PSEUDO-SCIENCE, and Darwin opposed the very idea of such a process before anyone EVER seriously brought it up. Darwin's theory did NOT contribute, EUGENICS contributed, which ISN'T SCIENCE. It was Hitler's half-ass excuse for using one group of people to murder another. DARWIN OPPOSED THAT. Quit lying

  • (facepalm) Did I EVER SAY ANY SUCH THING? Gee, put words in peoples' mouths much? (rolleyes) Again, atheism wasn't the cause or motivation for ANYTHING Mao or Stalin did. They did what they did because of their POLITICAL AMBITIONS, and merely used atheism as one of the many ideological recruiting tools to unify the people to do their bidding. And whereas one could very easily be seen to kill in the name of god, how does it make ANY sense that one would kill in the name of "no god"? That's stupid

  • Hitler rejected Darwin's findings.

  • No, he BANNED Darwin's findings. Blacklisted his material and ordered it removed from libraries, too, because Darwin SPECIFICALLY REJECTED the notion that his theory could justify such atrocities. God, I get so sick of this shit...

  • The devil can take many forms: a snake, an angel of light, but he usually comes to us in the form of humans, humans that misrepresent what Christianity is all about. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). "By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12). We don't perish because some "ancestor ate a magic fruit," we die because we disobey God just like our ancestor. Do your homework.

  • @DeistPaladin Oh Really??? Is that why the Nazi scientists attempted to create mutant humans? Gee and there I was thinking it was because Hitler actually believed Jews were a sub-human species. When It was God's fault all along! Fuck Off Loser!

  • "with all due respect... you are RETARDED."

    Yeah, why be a two-faced prick? It's definitely cooler to NOT be one...

    Hitler did the things he did because of his POLITICAL AMBITIONS, he merely used a modified form of christianity to better sell it to the people and instill in them a sense of self-righteousness and superiority. Hitler didn't kill in the name of god, but I guarantee you a lot of nazis under him did just that. My point is christianity is part of what made his conquest possible.

  • Someone needs to go back on his meds.

  • You hit all the highlights of the story.

    It's amazing that when one examines this story in explicit terms it is absolutely the dumbest most unbelievable fable that anyone could concoct.

    I was a Christian for over 60 years, and you made me feel ashamed that I was dumb enough to waste time, money, and emotion on this fairy tale.

    Keep up the Good Work!

    Ebal the Atheist

  • Sorry to hear that but I'm glad you've broken free now.

  • @ebaltrace That's not fair, it's actually a pretty good fairy tale. Works pretty damn well for a fictional setting. It's not TRUE, but that doesn't keep it from being a good basis for stories.

  • @Technodreamer Maybe it should be added to Grimm's Fairy Tales.

  • I can't believe someone said Hitler was devout. Hitler said, "Christianity is the Jewish mistake." That is definitely anti-Christian.  Hitler even persecuted Christians.

  • I studied Hitler's speeches in German IV class. He was a devout Christian and his atrocities were the culmination of 2000 years of Christian teaching.

  • You misunderstand.

    1.Adam ate the fruit, enabling humans to comprehend evil and commit sin. Everyone since then is separate from God by sin.

    2.Heaven is returning to being one with God, and being separate makes that impossible.

    3.How can a God in Heaven forgive people so separate?

    4.God BECAME human & took our sins with Him when the Romans killed Him - thus purifying all who who accept that forgiveness, for eternity.

  • 1. Adam ate a magic fruit after Eve spoke with a talking snake.

    3. What you call "God" can't forgive unless something dies first.

    4. He sacrificed himself to himself because it was the only way to convince himself to forgive us.

  • If he was as devout as you claim him to be, then why did he go against the teachings of his own religion?

  • One could say, with the discovery of genetics, the Hitler was implementing an extreme form of eugenics on the Jews. Hitler believed in promoting one kind of people over another to an extreme, he wanted the others to all die. I can back this up as well. Eugenics were in fact used by Hitler to kill millions of Jews. (Not saying science is bad, but bad things can come from it (JUST LIKE THE IMPROPER STUDY OF CHRISTIANITY!!!)).

  • Haha, yeah watch my third vid. Adam not only learned evil, he also learned good. Which means he had no knowledge of either until he disobeyed god and ate the fruit. So he was NOT in god's image in ANY sense because in the bible god is good, whereas adam couldn't POSSIBLY be called good because he had no understanding of good or evil and thus couldn't consciously choose to do one ove the other in ANY way. And yeah, god essentially sacrificed himself to himself to forgive man, whom he created.

  • @DoctorTopper #3.How can a God in Heaven forgive people so seperate?'

    Uh, follow the words of Jesus? "If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins." (NLT, Matthew 6:14-15)

    I think YOU misunderstand ,Doctor

  • @DoctorTopper he said the same thing. lol

  • @DoctorTopper: Are you serious?

  • @organicfruits I don't have time to reply to every youtube comment. Just watch Philos71 channel to answer your questions. Or you could try doing heavy research to understand, but that's hard, I understand you.

  • @DoctorTopper i am amazed by your stupidity.

    if you were god, and you were mad at someone since they didn't do what you told them "that is the definition of sin... not doing what god wants", could you find no other way of forgiving them (if you really wanted to), other than killing yourself?

    i mean... what is stoping god from simply forgiving everyone? for a guy that made the universe you'd think he can control his anger a little...

  • Yep, that's Christianity in a nutshell. Fitting in all of the murdering, raping, incest and such wouldn't fit in the nutshell. You should make another video so all that fun stuff can be included.

  • John,

    You mentioned the stick, but not the carrot :)

  • "so what's the point of even INSINUATING he's a Christian as if that was why he committed those acts?"

    Atheists only bring up the "Hitler was a Catholic" fact when Christians blame Atheism on the holocaust. We didn't start the argument but we can sure finish it.

    No one ever went to war in the name of Athieism. It doesn't even make sense.

  • and you left out alot like basicaly the hole bible

  • im going to punch this guy he doesnt understand the bible because he doesnt beleive in it

    i dont do this to many people but i await the day this guy will die

  • All straight from the mouth of Jesus.

    That last one is particularly interesting because it is a follow up to what it reads in deuteronomy regarding stoning your disobedient children. Apparently Jesus was in support of this and was critical of the Jews for not doing so.

  • Don't worry about it :)

    For Jesus I can give you a few examples actually...

    Luke 19:27

    "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.'"

    John 15:6

    "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

    Mark 7:10

    For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death"

  • First of all, I'm not an athiest. I have beliefs, I just believe that religion is an outdated and unnecessary bureaucracy between man and God.

    Second of all, the Catholic Church slaughtering countless numbers of people for "practicing heresy" (in other words, not excepting Christianity) is horrible. Similar story with the Crusades. Your God Yahweh spent the first five books of the bible wiping out people. "Love your neighbor"? "Turn the other cheek"? This is sunday school stuff. Read the bible.

  • No doubt that Jesus said good things, but Jesus said some nasty things as well. The bible isn't all peaches and cream, its actually morally bankrupt when you actually take the time to read it.

  • So Mao and Stalin were athiests...Yes. They were.

    Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer were Christians, what's your point?

    I never said that Hitler did what he did int he name of Christianity, nor did Mao claim to do it in the name of atheism. I only said that Hitler claimed to be a christian in Mein Kampf, and that it is possible for one to assume it because his crimes were similar to the others in history.

    I don't necessarily believe that. I was just stating the argument. Chill out.

  • It is heavily debated whether or not Hitler was a Roman Catholic. He did talk extensively about Christianity in Mein Kampf, and claimed to be a Christian there. But there are other things like his secretary, used to say things like "Nazism and Christianity are irreconcilable." It just depends on what you're reading.

    But with all due respect, Mein Kampf IS straight from the horses mouth.

  • Comment removed

  • Regardless, I think what he is trying to say is that for the atrocities that he committed, very similar atrocities that have occurred in the past were clear expressions of Christian doctrine such as the Crusades and The Inquisition.

    One could put two and two together that the atrocities were very similar and Hitler claimed to be a Christian, and its a fair assumption, but admittedly there is no hard evidence for it.

  • Who worships Dawkins? Or Hitchens? Or Rand?

  • I base the assertion that Hitler was a Christian on the basis of what he said. I studied his speeches in German IV class. I never heard him quote Darwin. I often heard him speak of his duty to "the Lord".

    But let's assume he was only pretending to be a Christian. The atrocities he committed against the Jews, occult-practicing Gypsies and homosexuals was the result of Christian teachings for 2000 years. The holocaust was the result of 2000 years of Christian hate.

  • Hitler was a devout Christian and even some of the non-religious dictators in the world weren't motivated to atrocity because they were too unwilling to believe in superstition. Many of them, like North Korea today, are deeply superstitious cults of personalities where the dictator is like a god.

    No society commits atrocities because their people became too skeptical, too rational or too willing to think independently.

  • It's funny. Deism is completely vacuous and incoherent. That's why deism has to obsess over Christianity. It has no internal content.

  • I "obsess" over Christianity because of all the harm it does.

    As for the lack of content, what's wrong with the answer "we don't know"?

  • All the harm it does? Oh BS. Check out any social science report on the relationship between religion and health, parenting, charitableness, citizenship, marriage and so on. A theme that runs through the research is that religious adherence and churchgoing almost always are associated with positive social outcomes. You can bring up the Crusades from 1000 years back, but of course times change. By the way, atheistical communists were responsible for 100 million deaths during the 20th century.

  • LOL!

  • "Those who don't believe this will be tortured forever and ever by the god that loves us."

    Again it's not as simple as looking at scripture and moving on, you also have to intrepret in the context it is written in, study and understand what it says.

    That statement would be true if you were died at this moment, but your not. God judges you after your death, not when your living.

  • How is it not as simple as this. Surely if there are criteria by which we are being judged then they must be defined and clear - and NOT BELIEVING in Jesus is one of those criteria.

    To say that things aren't that simple is a statement that applies to Christianity (despite it's convoluted ridiculousness) - in the main religions are attempts by pr literate peoples to understand the world - and they are fundamentally mistaken most of the time - as we now know.

  • "How is it not as simple as this"

    It's not as simple as this, becasue when you quote scripture and move on the assumptions you made, may or maynot be true (most cases they aren't). You should read the Holy Scripture in the context that they were written by the Church (who wrote, and declared the scriptures), if you are to truthfully understand the Holy Scripture.

  • It's funny when Christians laugh at Scientology. They can't see that THEIR story sounds just as ridiculous as Scientology to the unbiased observer.

    I'm always bemused that someone can believe in prayer when the chances of something that is prayed for happening are 100% EXACTLY the same as the chances of it happening if they prayed for the complete opposite thing!

    You have to wonder about your beliefs when that happens.

    Well apparently you DON'T have to wonder! Their brains are parked.

  • Love is not explainable by religion. I cant stand Yahweh, I beleive in no Gods. Yet I can love. Science can explain love actually. Love is a collection of neural impulses in our brains, our psyche's, our lifes experiences and genetic need. It dosnt make it any less wonderful to feel it, but it's perfectly explainable! You CERTAINLY dont need Zombies or old dusty desert gods to feel love. So go on, whats the deal? Why is Love an explaination of god?!

  • Ask a child if they think their imaginary friend is real. The mere question will confuse them, just like questioning a fundamentalist about the existence of their god confuses them, and thus, they can't come up with a rational answer apart from "yes, of course he's real". How can you say that people should believe in something? Do you know how many deaths beliefs have caused? The only thing people should believe in is themselves and others. Only then will we have a peaceful, productive world.

  • So it's a personal god you believe in, which is no different to having an imaginary friend. However, if it makes you feel good, then by all means believe in it. Just remember, believing in something might make it true for you, but doesn't mean it's true for anyone else. Peace.

  • LOL!  This video is truly a thing of beauty.

    Thanks for the laughs, John.

  • Right , so God is "The smile of a Child" and "The hug of your Granny". How come thats a "Spiritual being?"

    You beleive that theres a ghost somewhere that makes people feel happy? The Child is given a sweet,- God makes her feel happy. Garry Glitter enters a Playground, -God makes him feel happy! LMAO. You really havnt thought about this one much have you? What a fantasticly effective God you beleive in! Why not beleive in endorphins and dopermine released by chocolate!

  • Right ho. where abouts? in Dakota? Sheffield?Tunisia?

    And whats he doing exactly? Playing an XBOX?

    And what evidence have you for this? Or is it just a fuzzy warm feeling you have!

    Sheesh, out of all lame beleifs, that one really scrapes the barrel!

  • it's an epic story really, it's like the world you wish you were in without realizing you are in type thing, it's quite strange and will leave you breathless sometimes, i don't expect you to believe in it but i do hope god opens your eyes to it and that you don't kill yourself or have a heart attack if that happens. Good luck!

  • lol, this is cool

  • check out thomas paine - the age of reason

    thomaspainereturns. net

  • lol i love your videos man, sarcastic spin on the barbaric text of the bible. have you seen "zeitgeist?" just curious on your opinions of it.

  • Makes perfect sense to me...after a bit of vodka, gin, rum, marijuana, and a partridge in a pear tree.

  • Interesting...

  • atheism in a nutshell

    The universe came out of nothing by evolution or a big bang. We just happen to be the only known planet with intelligent life.Life has no meaning, we exist to party have sex and educate ourselves. Wethen spend countless hours trying to understand and explain why we ( human race) are useless meaningless on atheist blogs so that we can "enlighten" anyone that actually believes they are worth more than 80 years of survival. No, we just got here, science explains it.

  • Atheism in a nutshell:

    "I see no reason to believe in any god or gods and we don't claim to know what we don't know."

  • Science *looks for* answers; religion *makes up* answers. You can believe in anything you wish as long as it makes you feel better about yourself. I can sympathize with that. But don't pretend to hold all the answers if you want to be taken seriously. This, I think, is the main culprit that keeps us from understanding one another.

  • Yeah it does make me feel better about myself. That is not why i believe in God though. I don't have all the answers. But i do know that God exists. I am that confident about it. And i can say that without doubt in my mind. Maybe you don't agree, that is ok i understand.

  • God is real

  • Santa is real

  • So thats why you do not believe, because you found out as a child santa isn't real. There is a big difference between God and santa. Don't be ridiculous.

  • I was joking. Religion is rediculous.

  • atheism is ridiculous in my eyes.

  • It's because you're delusional. Clean that eyes with some reason and logic.

  • Good man. "logic". Anyway, il take my road you can take yours and we will see what happens. But don't say i didn't warn you!

  • UuHGUGH....Pascal's wageeeeer......

    I'm scared...

  • Atheism in a nutshell

    the universe came from nothing by pure chance, millions of galaxies were formed and one planet called earth just "happened" to have the perfect conditions for human life through a randomly selected ie natural selection process and that somehow we managed to be just far enough away from the sun not to get burned or frozen. That we are no more important than an insect with intelligence, life has no meaning we just got here for no reason and scientific "logic" explains this.

  • Hmmmm obviously you don't understand mathematics as in probability, or physics, or have any notion of what science is. Or what human limitations are for that matter, since it's easy to explain life on Earth and why, lets say, Neptune, is not habited. Plus you are also self important and ignorant, insects are the dominant species of the planet, they have been here long before us and quite possibly long after, but why bother explaining since you can't understand statistics and probability.

  • That makes perfect sense. I'm converting. :p
