@roedogape Not believing is a belief in the same way that non-stamp collecting is a hobby. Basically, it isn't. Now, declaring or promoting a negative is a belief. Even believing a negative is a belief without promoting it. But simply not believing is not a belief.
We are all human and we all have thoughts and temptations, the good is not acting in them. It's fine to have thoughts but once you commit to forbidden actions then it'd be trangression.
The red button is your willpower to resist temptation.
I would also like to comment on your description; if a good deed is done purely to do good, then it should never be brought back such as mentioning it in conversation or showing off to others as it would mean you have taken what it was worth, xept 4 hlping
Hi Im philhellenes and Im going to talk tormentingly slow and take long pauses to take a drag off my cigaret. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is he still talking?
not believing is also a belief ,,,but i cant help but believe that religion is nothing more then to keep man intangled in his own mind while those who know better take him for a ride..there good and bad in all of us..the battle is within ourselves...where creatures with half a brain in society and the other half stuck in the woods...my heart weighs no heavier the next man.but i will be damned if i read a book that keeps me coming back the book for answers...if its not in your heart its not real
you can go home with the memory, that you did a good thing. and walk a little taller? to me that is gaining as well, so that part does not make sense to me.
It never ceases to amaze me how people who are atheists are so concerned with what god or gods SOMEONE else is worshiping. Why do you care? I don't care that YOU DON'T worship a god, so why do you occupy your thoughts with worrying about what form of worship someone else partakes in?? Also, you are going on & on (smoking at the same time like you have absolutely no self control to wait one second, make a decent video, THEN smoke, ha ha ha) to this dude who is obviously (CONT'D)
BAT SHIT, and couldn't grasp what it is your saying EVEN WITH THE HELP of anti-psychotics, much less by your ramblings. My thoughts are that you don't believe in God. That is you, not me, that is YOUR choice, so it really is YOUR business. I am not going to PREACH to you and tell you all the reasons WHY you should believe in God. Why do YOU feel a need to try and place YOUR views on other people? PS: I only came across yr vid looking for that dude that flipped & killed someone.
@Chrliesangelsman - I tried to reach out. He was getting (as you can probably imagine) a wave of hate (perhaps understandably). I don't know why but Tony had this vid on his favourites, as you can see if you look at the news reports VERY closely, so I "reached" him somehow. Maybe he "grasped" something. Obviously it wasn't enough and almost certainly was never going to be enough, but I believe in trying. YOUR way is to not try, to think God will make it all right.
@philhellenes: I don't know that much would be accomplished by the 2 of us voicing our opinions to one another, b/c I am sure my beliefs may be very different than yours. I incorrectly thought you were an atheist when I watched this the 1st time because, I see you smoking while preaching (sinning while preaching....hum??) and I can't imagine the Holy Spirit directing you to sin while you witness.. I am ALSO a smoker, but I wouldn't be setting that type of example while witnessing. (cont'd)
I personally believe that to reach this guy your footsteps would REALLY need to be directed by the movement of the Holy Spirit, as he was VERY VERY VERY tormented. I guess after thinking about it, I can see that you were trying to help. I just feel that before we run around PREACHING at people, maybe it is best that we look at what example WE set, which is why I rarely dispute with others. My witness needs to be better, and that is the truth, so I don't run around on you tube trying to preach
(conclusion) to others about "cleaning up their life" so to speak. I have LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of areas in my life that need cleaning up, I don't deny that, but I don't go around preaching to people without the guidance of the Holy Spirit to direct me. I think you harming your temple by smoking WHILE PREACHING is EXACTLY why people who are AGAINST Christians have ammunition to say the things that they do. You couldn't WAIT to blaze up a smoke so that your witness wouldn't look harmed??
PS: And NO I don't go around witnessing to people on you tube (or the net for that matter) but it is b/c I feel like someone with a "lukewarm" witness (which is my first impression of you, and I could be wrong) may do more harm than good. It CERTAINLY makes Christians look bad. I think when trying to witness to lost souls, then I think it is important to be a living example of Christianity. Not sinning while preaching. That is my take.
Will someone pray for my penis to get bigger? I'll consider following jesus if you can get my penis to go to abooooout... 10 inches. 10 sounds pretty nice.
Atheists know "nothing" about "reality", since they have no spiritual insight. There are two parallel realities one is physical the other is spiritual. "True Christians" see and live in both of them. Christ stoppes Christians doing bad things. He changed my whole life completely. Now I love everybody, even those that hate me, thank God.
Tony was possessed by evil spirits, that's where violence comes from. He could have been set free through prayer. Jesus can set anybody free, from everything bad
lol making random claims about magic doesn't make it true.
atheists don't have any insight on spirituality huh? What about people who were christian for 30 years and felt jesus within themselves. But are not atheists? They know absolutely nothing about what they experienced, did they?
The truth is, people can convince themselves of all sorts of incredibly funny stuff. It doesn't make it true no matter how hard you believe.
It's not about "magic" matie. God is real. I was an idiot for 21 years, because I didn't try Jesus. When I did He revealed Himself to me, just like He promises to do in thew Bible!
I was chocked for a few seconds, because I had no idea, that you could acrtually meet Jesus here and now. But anybody can! Then I met the Holy Spirit, and now He guides me through life, and heals about 25% of the people that I pray for!!! I'm sure that the % will grow, as I continue to obey. God Bless You.
You can meet any gods you want, it doesn't prove that the god is all powerful, or the only god. It would be more convincing if your claims to healing prayer power had better results than what you would expect of chance. What you need to realize is that you and Prayer healing is not the work of a magic sky spirit, but you sending your own positive energy to the person.
You should give yourself more credit, that's one of the points I was trying to get across. You're the one who's being positive, and being postive brings positive energy into the world, whether you're being aided by a holy spirit or not. Do you agree or disagree with that?
I'd never take the credit from the Holy Spirit. A positive attitude is always good, but I could not make a leg grow in a few seconds just by thinking positive :-) Not on yer life mate.
Besides, I talk to the Holy Spirit and He answeres me, how I don't know but He tells me where to lay my hands etc, when I pray for people.
I just prayed for a guy with cancer, he almost fainted when God "zapped" him with the Holy Spirit. It will be interesting to see if God healed him.
So, you're the tool by which this holy spirit works, is that what you're saying? Also, the holy spirit can make legs grow? Are you referring to amputation? If so, I'd like to see that.
Anybody can be used by the Holy Spirit, if they have received Christ and Him!
The woman I refered to had one leg shorter than the other, she told me later that it grew out to the right length in a matter of minutes, when she got home.
Well, I don't disbelieve your claim, but power of suggestion is easily used to cure one leg being longer than the other. I've seen in many times before done by television faith healers, they tell the person their leg will grow and suddenly they feel like their leg is equal.
I have no problem with the concept of faith healing, but you should learn to recognize the difference between healing by circumstance, healing caused by power of suggestion or mind over matter, and actual faith healing.
Nothing, but science is sort of a drag when it comes to any sort of bodily energy. I have an irrational belief in energies. But maybe it's not irrational and we just don't have the tools to measure it?
No, tony was not possessed by evil spirits. He was mentally disturbed. Which is actually VERY common amongst followers of faith. You need to be in need of guidance usually to even accept it and give your life for it.
It's usually just the weak who follow. Tony, and you.
People who have no spiritual lives, always say what you claim "mentally disturbed", becuse it's an easy way out.
I know for a fact that he had problems with spirits, if I had prayed for him, he would have been set free. All people can be set free from what you call "mental disorders", in Jesus name. I see it all the time. (if they actually "want" to be set free).
You are trying to make a claim about NOT being the easy way out when all you do is god did everything good, and evil spirits or satan did everything bad?
Do you even comprehend what you preach? It's insane, buddy. It's the biggest cop out in history.
hey did you know, I got word from god himself. he told me that it's not actually evil spirits. It's the new world order reptilian illuminati freemasons with a super ray beam that is messing people's brains.
We all live the same life. You can be happy in the materialistic world, or explore the wonderous spiritual properties of the human body and mind, as religious people do...
However, you don't have to have some spiritual superiority complex. Is that really christ-like? If you're an example of being in touch with christ, I don't want to be part of that. You put off a negative attitude, yet claim to love<3 everyone. But, I don't believe your claim. You have to know someone to love them.
I was never happy in the materialistic world. I always had a longing for "something" more. I was 21 when I finally met that "something", His name is the Holy Spirit. He changed my heart, and made me love people. First I received Jesus into my heart, then He introduced me to the Holy Spirit. HS is now with me everywhere I go. He heals people through me. Anybody who knows HS can do what I do. I'm not special in any way. God loves all of you, that's why Jesus died for YOUR sins. Just receive Him...
I don't believe we have the same concept of love. I have compassion for all, love for those who I know personally - family, friends, acquaintances, pets. My point, is love really the right word? Only god can love everyone, as god is the only one who knows everyone.
I believe religions experiences are resulted from tapping into the spiritual plane or the force of synchronicity within the universe. Do you think other religions are inferior? Or just not right for you personally?
Personally I don't believe in religions, I think they are disgusting. What we need is a personal relationship with God. I got that after I received Christ into my life. He introduced me to the Helper, the Holy Spirit. So when I pray for people, I ask the Holy Spirit to heal them in Jesus' name, and He does it.
If I have a friend or two with me who also know Him, then I can ask Jesus directly, because He is present whenever two or more are gathered in His name.
Well, I don't think religions are discusting. Just cultural interpretations of the one divine truth. What do you think of other Gods or prophets people experience? For example, Zoroastrians who personally experience Ahura Mazda(God), or experience the prophet Zoroaster guiding them directly?
When I met the Holy Spirit, He told me that all religions are the work of lucifer.
All other so called god's are just evil spirits fooling people into believing in them. That's what evil spirits (fallen angels) do. Their job for lucifer is to confuse people, so that people will die in their sins and go to Hell.
Jesus is the "only" name on earth by which a man can be saved.
That's what I found out after I was saved by Jesus. I had no help in my search for truth, I looked for Jesus by myself.
I would have to agree all religions are the work of evil overall, but as a taoist I believe I believe in yin and yang, there's yin within yang and yang within yin. I do not believe all religions inherently work for evil.
I don't believe other religions gods are evil spirits. Spirits maybe, but I see no reason to call them evil. I believe that by good actions you praise God(the positive creative force) and by evil actions you praise Lucifer/evil(the negative destructive force).
I only know what the Holy Spirit told me and I believe Him. If He says that all other god's except the creator Yahweh are evil, then I believe Him, because He has never lied to me since I met Him in 1975. Everything He has foretold, has happened 100%.

I just heard the news as well. This video was still very clear in my head and at the time thought wow, real words of wisdom, but I doubt tony will listen to them. He didn't, and saddly, he took a life in the process of taking his own. The thing is, imagine if an atheist did this, the news would practically never die down from it.
Maybe if this single christian could have taken advice from an atheist, two more people would still be alive. The whole thing is sad.. very sad...
I've only just heard the very sad news, and I felt compelled to watch this video once again. Wonderfully compassionate, kindly advice, and who knows who it has impacted.
So much more the perfection of nature. Abuse a dog enough, for long enough, and it will bite every hand. Or maybe there was something chemically wrong from the beginning. We'll never know. Asia and her family have ALL my sympathy, yet, somehow, I still have some for the sick dog.
...Phil, do you believe that your belief is better than everyone elses?
What grounds do you claim this on? Simply because you can add 2 n 2 together? Or do you have any actual experience, atheism is the lack of an experience with God, so atheism isn't in any way an intelligent belief seeing as it is a disbelief which requires no intelligence at all.
The answer to your first question is, "no." The answer to your second question is, "I just said I didn't." The answer to your third question is, "What the fuck?" The answer to your fourth question is, "Everyone has experiences, even a baby. The important things is how you explain them and the reliability of the evidence upon which you base your explanation." And it DOES take intelligence to see through Santa. Dumber kids will believe longer. Others just say they believe not to upset the kids.
Actually it takes another person telling you what they believe, and if you have a weak will then you'll likely believe what they say for example that Santa doesn't exist, so it takes no amount of intelligence more so than a complete surrender of your own mind to somone else, this is how people get manipulated.
No. The WEAK willed person will stop beliebving in Santa just because they are told he doesn't exist. The rational person will listen to the arguments from both sides then weigh the evidence for themselves. BUT the numbers of the believers and the strength of their own personal desire to believe can screw with even a rational person.
Thats what I said, weak willed people only believe in what is told to them, in which atheists do all the time, an intelligent atheist will always asnwer "I don't know" to wether God exists or not, and until they have the personal experience, they may never know till the end.
Who are you to say what is rational?
The world doesn't revolve around how you want it to be.
But thats under the assumption that agnostics are only following what they've been told, and NOT that they've weighed the evidence and concluded that there is no exact way to figure out an answer.
Frankly, I think it's the other way around. It's funny how these arguments can swing both ways.
This was the first video i thought of when I heard. I remember thinking that you showed uncommon restraint when you made this. My heart goes out to both the families.
I think that what's bothering Tony isn't Jesus or Scripture or even Satan. It's his failure to realize that no one is perfect and that being a Christian or a "good person" generally DOESN'T involve conquering one's lustful, angry, or devious feelings. It involves putting them in perspective and realizing that they're aren't the be-all and the end-all of human existence. Wanting to be totally rid of them is a sin--the sin of pride and presumption.
Its you that doesn't get what he is saying. He never said that you you had to be a perfect Christain, it has nothing to do w/ perfection as you put words into his mouth. Its that what Christainity claims sinful is what is making the so called "sin" more attractive, which is what is tempting you to commite it rather than if you didn't think it was a sin. Its irony.
I know that evolution was my salvation. Once I began to grasp it, the walls of Christianity began to crumble. I'm not saying one leads to the other, but for me personally it was a eureka moment more powerful than any religious experience I've ever had-- and I've had ones that left me in tears. The moment I saw the universe for what it really was, I felt calm and blissful.
It's sort of ironic and a bit embarrassing to make it sound like a religious experience, but there you go.
I didn't generalize. I explained what happened with me. I even said, "I'm not saying one leads to another." Please read the post you're replying to in the future.
It's so true. Case in point. When it's late at night, and all the shops are shut preventing me from restocking my empty fridge - I actually feel thirstier, hungrier. As soon as they open again, and I know I can restock at my leisure the appetite settles down.
As soon as you know you can't do something, it becomes all the more appealing. It's why the temptation in Eden will forever be a deeply immoral story, because you essentially have God setting up a temptation he knows won't be avoided.

look philhellnes ou dnt research before you talk i just have to show you one video to shut you up. Dr Zakir naik vs dr william campbell. a student in islam vs the best christian missionery they could find. type it in and realise the truth.
noone really knows if there is a god, jesus, or satan. there is no real physical evidence, but thats the fun of it, not knowing whats out there, and using your imagination. thats what its all about. people have a choice to believe in anything they want, but its people that have closed-minds that start controversey and become a religious-supremacist. its the same principle as racism. not makin fun of there skin, but their own personal beliefs, which is all they have when everything else is gone.
Just because there is no God, or because people disagree, that's no antimotivational sentiment for humans not trying to convey their epiphanies to each other! You're question could be easily restructed as "Just because unicorns and dragons aren't real, why bother painting them." Because it's fucking wonder of human expression of course! Good lord, for people who claim to be so spiritual, you seem to be devoid of any self initiated soul.
I feel you in many ways. I've had these same questions and ideas for some time as well. My question to you is....if there is no God than why make these videos? What does happen when we die? Thanks for your time.
If you had friend who said he had a fairy on his shoulder, that spoke to him, that told him his life on Earth was just a prelude to Fairy-Heaven, and DEMANDED that the "fairy theory" was taught in science class, and didn't trust ANYONE who didn't proclaim to have a fairy on their shoulder too, and refused to vote for a politician who didn't make the same proclamation, would you stay silent?
No, I would not stay silent. 1 yr ago I would have asked him to share some o' that majic pot with me.lol. Actually, I try my best not to listen to any human at this point. Although, I do feel inclined sometimes to jump on yt and make waves. I stay away from churches as they seem to go totally against what I believe. I'm still trying to figure things out. I would really like to know your thoughts on death. I don't have time to watch all your videos so a quick answer will suffice. Thanks alot.
Funnily enough, I've had a lot of PMs about death lately so I already have a video made. I was wondering whether I should post it (not exactly a laugh a minute subject). But, seeing as the requests will probably continue, I suppose a "heavy" video might be of use to someone. Video on death coming right up!
On the death subject, I found the crucial question that needed answering, honestly, was, "Am I an animal?" Investigate that for a year or so.
answer to shanesongs32 I think when we die we go back were we came from the earth, I think cause nature gives us so much in the end we give back. so maybe were all part of a recycling proses who knows.
I pondered the same thought but if that is true then what is the best life for your body after death? wHat I am asking iyia777 is that if you practice enclosed burials, or creamation, how does one return to earth? Everytime I see roadkill I wonder how the hell does it return to the earth if road is under them and any animal that tries to treat it self to that wonderful oppertunity is smooshed.. well dead too. I think the universal idea of recycling is wonderful, heavenly even.
That was beautiful. I only wish I could believe it wasn't wasted. I have trouble picturing this very heartfelt message doing anything but being dismissed out of hand. Still, kudos to you and all those who attempt to make our lives better.
Nobody can force themselves to believe something which they don't inherently believe . If an atheist tells himself to believe in god, because he has nothing to lose (Pascals wager), then he is assuming that your omniscient god cannot spot a liar! One would assume in the very unlikely event of there actually being a god, that it would prefer an honest mistake to a blatant lie.
If religious ppl r wrong, then think about all the lives they have RUINED, because of religion. Think about all the young minds wich is messed up bcause of the guilt u FORCE them to have. Think about all the children wich u scare half to death with your horror stories about hell and fire. SHAME on u !
And now u r trying thwe same 'tactic' on us atheists ?
This makes some really important points and is put in a really compassionate manner. I agree with what you put in you "about" box. Our beliefs directly affect our perception of the world and therefore our reaction to it. Tony's conditioning(learned thoughts)played a big role in his pain and his self worth.
Great Video. I've only just come across your videos but you tslk a lot of sense. I did a lot of stupid things when I was younger purely because they were forbidden and I got a thrill out of breaking the "rules". I think if we explained more and forbade less the world would be a better place.
This is another great video. It's a shame that Tony most likely won't watch it. If he did, and actually listened to your words, I think he could learn a lot about himself.
Great vid Phil! I think its like bashin yo head gainst the wall tho. I recently expressed my doubts in the authenticity of the Bubble to a life-long friend who believes it to Jehovahs Witness proportions. His words were, "You either believe in the truth of the gospels or you are Anti-Christ." So anti him Our friendship was not enough for him to agree to differ, either I recanted or we never speak again. It literally tore me apart, but I love the guy, and so I led him to believe that I recanted.

c'mon! telling him to stop wanting to be a christian isn't helping him one bit! he seems to be an unsuccessful narcissist, it's not about philosophy or theology. he should see a shrink, he's in desperate need to talk to people, i guess he hasn't got many friends in rl. you're telling him to jerk off and drop the bible? wow, that's one heck of an advice.
by the way, smoking that reefer on air doesn't make you any more credible, i'm sorry to say.
2. The Bible may well have got him into this mess, his constant confusion (he's been reading it since he was 12 and look at the state he's in). PERHAPS it is time for him to "get real".
3. You're right that he needs a shrink or at least a few real life friends (that he won't get while he thinks as he does at the moment).
Phil, don't expect your hormone levels to drop to a background hum until you're a lot older than I am (65). They haven't dropped to a hum. They're still a chorus. Only now there's @#$% little I can do about them! ;o(
I enjoyed that. It's interesting to think about different people and how the things they believe in affect their perception of everything.
As for Tony, I feel a little sorry for him, he sounds so intensely confused in that video. His video reminds me of the erection scene from the movie Bubble Boy (obscure referene?)
As one could have guessed, your good intentions and good will were misplaced/betrayed. Thetruthtony has made a hateful video about homosexuals. At around 1:50 he also claims that (as of statistics) homosexuals are prone to pedophilia, and that they commit the most horrible crimes. I hope, I'm sure, the video will be gone soon. Violence takes many forms, and his is one. His problem is not even Christianity, which is just a form, it's the hate and deep sadness he cultivates within himself.
"Violence takes many forms, and his is one. His problem is not even Christianity, which is just a form, it's the hate and deep sadness he cultivates within himself."
Then maybe the good intentions and good will towards him are not misplaced at all.
"Then maybe the good intentions and good will towards him are not misplaced at all."
They are, because phil was suggesting that he reconsiders what he believes. I assert that whatever he choses to believe, it'll be ad usum for his inner hatred. I don't think he even has the capacity to appreciate phil's good intentions for what they are. TTT was not asking for help, he was just seeking redemption from his friends, so that he could start again doing and thinking what he likes most.
Poor Tony. I think if more atheists took pity on him instead of just laughing at him, maybe he'd be a little less feral. Tony is a product of the 'cross' all theists, and especially Christians, must bear - they will never be 'perfect'. They suffer all their lives with guilt they will never be rid of. They will always be full of that self-loathing. They will always be chained by their faith. People like Tony will never leave their faith behind because they are too ignorant and too afraid. Sad.
I've watched Tony since his first fiery tantrum. I thought he was a sick, deranged whacko. Time passed, and I surmised he might be an intentional parody (secret atheist) endeavoring to ridicule staunch believers. I conjectured that no one could be so mentally decrepit. I'm still undecided. In any event, he's classic manic-depressive (bi-polar). I'm starting to lean back towards seeing him as completely broken and deranged. (Could he be just an act?)
I said (something like) pressing the red button to get rid of "unwelcome" thoughts. The vast majority of my sexual thoughts are not only welcome but invited. :D
That may very well be the most thoughtful response video I've ever seen. It's a real pity that TTT won't hear it, as he'll only see the invisible horns on your head while he watches.
The maze is so complex and everyone has to find their own way. Sometimes someone gets so deep it's hard to imagine how they will EVER figure their way out. This seems to be one such situation.
Apology accepted, but don't let it happen again. :D As for your message to tony, he probably turned it off as soon as he heard "atheist" and to say that atheism could be helpful- well he would probably want to kill you if he left the video that long.
why would your subscribers be pissed? sure we were expecting some action, but i would say its just as good to see you genuinely trying to help someone!
I absolutely agree with your comments in the sidebar.
I wonder however, and challenge anyone to look into it for themselves, whether that statement can be pushed any further in the direction that you started moving it, and if so, then what does it begin to look like?

An apology is neither necessary nor accepted. I felt the same way after seeing a video where he addresses lucaslabrador about how he's scared of going to hell and he wants his help.
@roedogape Not believing is a belief in the same way that non-stamp collecting is a hobby. Basically, it isn't. Now, declaring or promoting a negative is a belief. Even believing a negative is a belief without promoting it. But simply not believing is not a belief.

That is you, not me, that is YOUR choice, so it really is YOUR business. I am not going to PREACH to you and tell you all the reasons WHY you should believe in God. Why do YOU feel a need to try and place YOUR views on other people? PS: I only came across yr vid looking for that dude that flipped & killed someone.
Chrliesangelsman 1 year ago
@Chrliesangelsman - I tried to reach out. He was getting (as you can probably imagine) a wave of hate (perhaps understandably). I don't know why but Tony had this vid on his favourites, as you can see if you look at the news reports VERY closely, so I "reached" him somehow. Maybe he "grasped" something. Obviously it wasn't enough and almost certainly was never going to be enough, but I believe in trying. YOUR way is to not try, to think God will make it all right.

@philhellenes: I don't know that much would be accomplished by the 2 of us voicing our opinions to one another, b/c I am sure my beliefs may be very different than yours. I incorrectly thought you were an atheist when I watched this the 1st time because, I see you smoking while preaching (sinning while preaching....hum??) and I can't imagine the Holy Spirit directing you to sin while you witness.. I am ALSO a smoker, but I wouldn't be setting that type of example while witnessing. (cont'd)
Chrliesangelsman 1 year ago
I personally believe that to reach this guy your footsteps would REALLY need to be directed by the movement of the Holy Spirit, as he was VERY VERY VERY tormented. I guess after thinking about it, I can see that you were trying to help. I just feel that before we run around PREACHING at people, maybe it is best that we look at what example WE set, which is why I rarely dispute with others. My witness needs to be better, and that is the truth, so I don't run around on you tube trying to preach
Chrliesangelsman 1 year ago
(conclusion) to others about "cleaning up their life" so to speak. I have LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of areas in my life that need cleaning up, I don't deny that, but I don't go around preaching to people without the guidance of the Holy Spirit to direct me. I think you harming your temple by smoking WHILE PREACHING is EXACTLY why people who are AGAINST Christians have ammunition to say the things that they do. You couldn't WAIT to blaze up a smoke so that your witness wouldn't look harmed??
Chrliesangelsman 1 year ago
PS: And NO I don't go around witnessing to people on you tube (or the net for that matter) but it is b/c I feel like someone with a "lukewarm" witness (which is my first impression of you, and I could be wrong) may do more harm than good. It CERTAINLY makes Christians look bad. I think when trying to witness to lost souls, then I think it is important to be a living example of Christianity. Not sinning while preaching. That is my take.

Many "claim" to be Christians, even though they are not. I didn't know Tony, but I could tell from on video that he had spiritual problems.
His "faith" was only based on religion, he didn't actually know Christ.
Religion is bad, even Jesus hated it. Read the Gospels and see for yourself, what Jesus called the religious opressor's of His time.
A Christian doesn't curse, or hate people. Anyone who hates, and claims to be a Christian is a liar.

Atheists know "nothing" about "reality", since they have no spiritual insight. There are two parallel realities one is physical the other is spiritual. "True Christians" see and live in both of them. Christ stoppes Christians doing bad things. He changed my whole life completely. Now I love everybody, even those that hate me, thank God.
Tony was possessed by evil spirits, that's where violence comes from. He could have been set free through prayer. Jesus can set anybody free, from everything bad

It's not about "magic" matie. God is real. I was an idiot for 21 years, because I didn't try Jesus. When I did He revealed Himself to me, just like He promises to do in thew Bible!
I was chocked for a few seconds, because I had no idea, that you could acrtually meet Jesus here and now. But anybody can! Then I met the Holy Spirit, and now He guides me through life, and heals about 25% of the people that I pray for!!! I'm sure that the % will grow, as I continue to obey. God Bless You.
thalonen 2 years ago
You can meet any gods you want, it doesn't prove that the god is all powerful, or the only god. It would be more convincing if your claims to healing prayer power had better results than what you would expect of chance. What you need to realize is that you and Prayer healing is not the work of a magic sky spirit, but you sending your own positive energy to the person.

Evangelist Heidi Baker and her kids have raised more than 100 people from the dead.
The healings have nothing to do with me, Jesus is the one who heals those that I pray for. It has nothing to do with my energy.
Once when I prayed for a mans deaf ear to open, God restored his sight instead :-)
So it hasn't really got much to do with me. I just do (obey) what the Holy Spirit tells me to do.
thalonen 2 years ago
You should give yourself more credit, that's one of the points I was trying to get across. You're the one who's being positive, and being postive brings positive energy into the world, whether you're being aided by a holy spirit or not. Do you agree or disagree with that?
HeathenForFun 2 years ago
I'd never take the credit from the Holy Spirit. A positive attitude is always good, but I could not make a leg grow in a few seconds just by thinking positive :-) Not on yer life mate.
Besides, I talk to the Holy Spirit and He answeres me, how I don't know but He tells me where to lay my hands etc, when I pray for people.
I just prayed for a guy with cancer, he almost fainted when God "zapped" him with the Holy Spirit. It will be interesting to see if God healed him.

Well, I don't disbelieve your claim, but power of suggestion is easily used to cure one leg being longer than the other. I've seen in many times before done by television faith healers, they tell the person their leg will grow and suddenly they feel like their leg is equal.
I have no problem with the concept of faith healing, but you should learn to recognize the difference between healing by circumstance, healing caused by power of suggestion or mind over matter, and actual faith healing.

People who have no spiritual lives, always say what you claim "mentally disturbed", becuse it's an easy way out.
I know for a fact that he had problems with spirits, if I had prayed for him, he would have been set free. All people can be set free from what you call "mental disorders", in Jesus name. I see it all the time. (if they actually "want" to be set free).

We all live the same life. You can be happy in the materialistic world, or explore the wonderous spiritual properties of the human body and mind, as religious people do...
However, you don't have to have some spiritual superiority complex. Is that really christ-like? If you're an example of being in touch with christ, I don't want to be part of that. You put off a negative attitude, yet claim to love<3 everyone. But, I don't believe your claim. You have to know someone to love them.
HeathenForFun 2 years ago
I was never happy in the materialistic world. I always had a longing for "something" more. I was 21 when I finally met that "something", His name is the Holy Spirit. He changed my heart, and made me love people. First I received Jesus into my heart, then He introduced me to the Holy Spirit. HS is now with me everywhere I go. He heals people through me. Anybody who knows HS can do what I do. I'm not special in any way. God loves all of you, that's why Jesus died for YOUR sins. Just receive Him...

I don't believe we have the same concept of love. I have compassion for all, love for those who I know personally - family, friends, acquaintances, pets. My point, is love really the right word? Only god can love everyone, as god is the only one who knows everyone.

Personally I don't believe in religions, I think they are disgusting. What we need is a personal relationship with God. I got that after I received Christ into my life. He introduced me to the Helper, the Holy Spirit. So when I pray for people, I ask the Holy Spirit to heal them in Jesus' name, and He does it.
If I have a friend or two with me who also know Him, then I can ask Jesus directly, because He is present whenever two or more are gathered in His name.
Religion never saved a soul.

Well, I don't think religions are discusting. Just cultural interpretations of the one divine truth. What do you think of other Gods or prophets people experience? For example, Zoroastrians who personally experience Ahura Mazda(God), or experience the prophet Zoroaster guiding them directly?
HeathenForFun 2 years ago
When I met the Holy Spirit, He told me that all religions are the work of lucifer.
All other so called god's are just evil spirits fooling people into believing in them. That's what evil spirits (fallen angels) do. Their job for lucifer is to confuse people, so that people will die in their sins and go to Hell.
Jesus is the "only" name on earth by which a man can be saved.
That's what I found out after I was saved by Jesus. I had no help in my search for truth, I looked for Jesus by myself.

I would have to agree all religions are the work of evil overall, but as a taoist I believe I believe in yin and yang, there's yin within yang and yang within yin. I do not believe all religions inherently work for evil.
I don't believe other religions gods are evil spirits. Spirits maybe, but I see no reason to call them evil. I believe that by good actions you praise God(the positive creative force) and by evil actions you praise Lucifer/evil(the negative destructive force).

The answer to your first question is, "no." The answer to your second question is, "I just said I didn't." The answer to your third question is, "What the fuck?" The answer to your fourth question is, "Everyone has experiences, even a baby. The important things is how you explain them and the reliability of the evidence upon which you base your explanation." And it DOES take intelligence to see through Santa. Dumber kids will believe longer. Others just say they believe not to upset the kids.
philhellenes 2 years ago
Actually it takes another person telling you what they believe, and if you have a weak will then you'll likely believe what they say for example that Santa doesn't exist, so it takes no amount of intelligence more so than a complete surrender of your own mind to somone else, this is how people get manipulated.
ShaggyTheClown17 2 years ago
No. The WEAK willed person will stop beliebving in Santa just because they are told he doesn't exist. The rational person will listen to the arguments from both sides then weigh the evidence for themselves. BUT the numbers of the believers and the strength of their own personal desire to believe can screw with even a rational person.
philhellenes 2 years ago
Thats what I said, weak willed people only believe in what is told to them, in which atheists do all the time, an intelligent atheist will always asnwer "I don't know" to wether God exists or not, and until they have the personal experience, they may never know till the end.
Who are you to say what is rational?
The world doesn't revolve around how you want it to be.

But thats under the assumption that agnostics are only following what they've been told, and NOT that they've weighed the evidence and concluded that there is no exact way to figure out an answer.

I think that what's bothering Tony isn't Jesus or Scripture or even Satan. It's his failure to realize that no one is perfect and that being a Christian or a "good person" generally DOESN'T involve conquering one's lustful, angry, or devious feelings. It involves putting them in perspective and realizing that they're aren't the be-all and the end-all of human existence. Wanting to be totally rid of them is a sin--the sin of pride and presumption.

I know that evolution was my salvation. Once I began to grasp it, the walls of Christianity began to crumble. I'm not saying one leads to the other, but for me personally it was a eureka moment more powerful than any religious experience I've ever had-- and I've had ones that left me in tears. The moment I saw the universe for what it really was, I felt calm and blissful.

As soon as you know you can't do something, it becomes all the more appealing. It's why the temptation in Eden will forever be a deeply immoral story, because you essentially have God setting up a temptation he knows won't be avoided.

Nobody can force themselves to believe something which they don't inherently believe . If an atheist tells himself to believe in god, because he has nothing to lose (Pascals wager), then he is assuming that your omniscient god cannot spot a liar! One would assume in the very unlikely event of there actually being a god, that it would prefer an honest mistake to a blatant lie.

1. It's a cigarette.
2. The Bible may well have got him into this mess, his constant confusion (he's been reading it since he was 12 and look at the state he's in). PERHAPS it is time for him to "get real".
3. You're right that he needs a shrink or at least a few real life friends (that he won't get while he thinks as he does at the moment).
4. I could be wrong.

Phil, don't expect your hormone levels to drop to a background hum until you're a lot older than I am (65). They haven't dropped to a hum. They're still a chorus. Only now there's @#$% little I can do about them! ;o(

I enjoyed that. It's interesting to think about different people and how the things they believe in affect their perception of everything.
As for Tony, I feel a little sorry for him, he sounds so intensely confused in that video. His video reminds me of the erection scene from the movie Bubble Boy (obscure referene?)

This is a much better video than the angry video would have been. Kudos.

As one could have guessed, your good intentions and good will were misplaced/betrayed. Thetruthtony has made a hateful video about homosexuals. At around 1:50 he also claims that (as of statistics) homosexuals are prone to pedophilia, and that they commit the most horrible crimes. I hope, I'm sure, the video will be gone soon. Violence takes many forms, and his is one. His problem is not even Christianity, which is just a form, it's the hate and deep sadness he cultivates within himself.

"Violence takes many forms, and his is one. His problem is not even Christianity, which is just a form, it's the hate and deep sadness he cultivates within himself."
Then maybe the good intentions and good will towards him are not misplaced at all.

"Then maybe the good intentions and good will towards him are not misplaced at all."
They are, because phil was suggesting that he reconsiders what he believes. I assert that whatever he choses to believe, it'll be ad usum for his inner hatred. I don't think he even has the capacity to appreciate phil's good intentions for what they are. TTT was not asking for help, he was just seeking redemption from his friends, so that he could start again doing and thinking what he likes most.

Poor Tony. I think if more atheists took pity on him instead of just laughing at him, maybe he'd be a little less feral. Tony is a product of the 'cross' all theists, and especially Christians, must bear - they will never be 'perfect'. They suffer all their lives with guilt they will never be rid of. They will always be full of that self-loathing. They will always be chained by their faith. People like Tony will never leave their faith behind because they are too ignorant and too afraid. Sad.

I've watched Tony since his first fiery tantrum. I thought he was a sick, deranged whacko. Time passed, and I surmised he might be an intentional parody (secret atheist) endeavoring to ridicule staunch believers. I conjectured that no one could be so mentally decrepit. I'm still undecided. In any event, he's classic manic-depressive (bi-polar). I'm starting to lean back towards seeing him as completely broken and deranged. (Could he be just an act?)

I said (something like) pressing the red button to get rid of "unwelcome" thoughts. The vast majority of my sexual thoughts are not only welcome but invited. :D

That may very well be the most thoughtful response video I've ever seen. It's a real pity that TTT won't hear it, as he'll only see the invisible horns on your head while he watches.

Poor Tony. He's mad as a cut snake.
Suppression of sexual urges has lead the Catholic Church to become by far the world's most prolific generator of deviant sexual criminals.
And its all blamed on Satan.
Your right Phil, its not Satan thats messing with Tony's head.

Apology accepted, but don't let it happen again. :D As for your message to tony, he probably turned it off as soon as he heard "atheist" and to say that atheism could be helpful- well he would probably want to kill you if he left the video that long.

I absolutely agree with your comments in the sidebar.
I wonder however, and challenge anyone to look into it for themselves, whether that statement can be pushed any further in the direction that you started moving it, and if so, then what does it begin to look like?

An apology is neither necessary nor accepted. I felt the same way after seeing a video where he addresses lucaslabrador about how he's scared of going to hell and he wants his help.
