Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh, drink his blood, and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree..
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
this is from the allabouttruth org 10 commandments page.
if the western world was founded on christian principals, art would be banned.
if your claim as to why christianity is good directly contradicts the 10 commendments, you need to change your arguements.
Hi Brock, when you say "God" - do you mean Yahweh? I ask because the word "god" is pretty vague - even within the Christian faith, there's a lot of different versions of this concept. Can you be a bit more specific?
There is a universe of difference between humans and 'animals' Animals arnt so obsessed with their pride!
Thats why ant colonies dont build statues. THEY DONT NEED THEM. Humans dont really need them, they just want them, materialism. It destroys people. But not animals.
omfg....really?...i dont even know where to begin...christianity isnt dark???....have you even read the bible, about the MILLIONS of men, women, children and BABIES tortured, raped and murdered in the name of god, and in many cases in the bible, by his own hand...and christianity isnt dark?....no other religious faction in the history of mankind is responsible for more atrocities than those based on the HOLY BIBLE...and christianity foremost among them.....ignorance truly is bliss
you are trying to impose human nature onto other creatures...of course we are different...but is an ape any less different than a fish? an ape could claim they are above the other animals, and compare themselves to fish not walking on land as an example, does that make him right?...you have a pitifully narrow view of the world around you, mankind existed a very long time before playing cards or violins even existed, were we animals then, and only after left the animal kingdom? how inept are you?
however, i do believe that, even earlier on its leaders used the religion to bend their followers to their will...hell, they still do....ok...huh?...hypocrite much?...you accuse atheists of focusing on only certain parts to promote their claim, then you do the exact same thing...
i have been an atheist for over 10 years...and i have never said to anyone that "we have a similar body structure to animals, so we are animals"...there are many, much more solid reasons to reach that conclusion...i dont believe christianity rose from an extraordinary abundance of ignorance....fear perhaps, from being slaves to the roman empire and the egyptians...a persecuted crowd often looks for leadership and comfort...and religion is an answer for both in such cases...
Three words. Too. Much. Preaching. I swear, preaching is instinctual to Christians. When asked to defend their claims, they just preach. Cut it out. Preaching doesn't prove anything. I'm fully aware of what the bible says. You don't need to tell what's in the bible, you need to tell me WHY I SHOULD BELIEVE IT. This guys seems to be a Christian just because he doesn't like atheists.
FACEPALMFACEPALMFACEPALM. I was a christain (and at the time a happy one) for most of my life, until i realized how utterly baseless it is. faith is the most rediculous of all virtues, basically saying "i believe in something because i have NO REASON to believe in it". just cuz it makes you happy does not make it true. and dont pull that the bible is nice bs on me- ever read exodus, duteronomy, or the story of Jephthah. yeah nice stuff, and in the gospels christ saves the few and daming the many
Your claim of how Darwinism never has been proved, what about the Fossil Record? Your "Bible" is nothing but a book put together to control intimidate and enslave people. It is a book based on no provable evidence that Jesus ever really existed. With Jesus being based on many of the holy men of ancient times, I prefer to look at it as it should be looked at, a book of stories. Christianity is the padded Cell. It locks you in to don't do this, You can't say that, and Don't dare think this.
Your and idiot, you are all apes, go to university and learn paeleontololgy.... On asecond note your bible was formed by the Orthodox Church in the FOURTH CENTURY!!!!. AthiestAntidote....HOW MANY GOSPELS are there?
Hey, really like your videos, keep it up, Christians need these messages and a face to speak for them. Your videos are sharp, well presented and to the point, they cut though the bullshit we face on youtube from the Godless.
Dont worry that others said it first, & Dont let these savage, moronic atheists tell you anything else, they find it hard to define their own religion & belief system let alone understand the intricacies of Christianity.
You provide no claims that prove christianity you say a lot of hopeful faith filled empty stuff kind of reminds me of Obama campaigning. He said a lot of things that sounds great if you were not actually listening to hard and just clinging to phrase like hope and change but if examined held no sustenance had no logic and were empty.
I'm finding it hard to know which people are doing parody, and which are not. I've just been watching Jesusophile and for a brief while did not realise he was doing parody.
I lost count of all the lies you've stated here. Nothing but misinformation!
I was a Xian for over 50 years before I graduated to atheism. U cling to superstition! What evidence do U have for your god? And explain Y he exhibits more evil than good in scripture.
Only a true demon would kill innocent women & children, even infants! Then we have all-loving, forgiving jesus who threatens us with hell. To create such a place has got to be a sign of insanity!
LOL. Stop attacking not believing and simply provide the evidence for your gods existence. You start defending your own religion and then (you cant help yourlself) you head straight into attacink 'atheists'. LMAO
@cjunk351 "your gods"?! It is The Only True Creator that he proclaims. your gods are false. Those who want to accept the truth(Jesus) know it(Him). That'S what you like don't you ? Make men explain things, things that you should be searching for already. you are wasting people's time. Truth is Truth and it cannot be changed. that is why you bark at him right? you cannot stand the truth, if it were a lie, you wouldn't be barking so loud, you and all the other atheists. Here is the proof you want.
@cjunk351 Three Words for YOU : Prove Your Point....otherwise,I believe what I wish and you cannot prove a non-truth. Atheists parading as intellectuals, full of words with nothing to back them up. That goes for your so-called scientific proofs also...... All in the interpretation. You are so sadly trying to convnce me, I don't need one thing from anyone as full of hate and as closed-minded as you. Bug off!
LOL .... you clearly are young. Keep your religion so it stops you from being cruel to other people. When you are older, you will learn that seeing as how it is YOU who claims that your god thing exists....then its YOU who can prove it does.
It's funny how we're all sitting arguing about who's right or wrong, and who knows the most about life. In reality, if any of us possesed any kind of wisdom, we'd get the fuck off the internet and go enjoy our lives before it's too late.
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half of the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.
Hitler and the nazi-leaders were christian, as was most of Europe back then. Now Europe is mostly atheistic/non-christian, though. And good riddance to the old crap christianity: )
One of the reasons I'm a non-believer is because I'd have to put up with this guy on my side. Also, why would ants need a statue, they're not stupid enough to waste time on it.
have you read the bible brock. jesus seems to me to endorse some of the things that you are so patently against. take secularism for example. taking pride when someone attacks you for your faith, going to your rom to pray. sounds pretty secular to me
What was the Catholic Church doing with those holy books in the first place. They were the same people who declared war on Ethiopia, and were jealous of Halie Selassie who was recognised as king of kings, from the tribe of Judah, and the linage of King Solomon, and king David.
The price for freedom is death. The Ethiopians proved that already. The whole Catholic Church , and Protestants, watched innocent black people being murdered by the court system in America in the 1500s - 50s, 60s etc
We need to Face the reality that no one has the monopoly when it comes to the truth. 1st John 5:7 was an interpolatian, according to the Vines Bible dictionary. It can not be found in no manuscript before the 14th century. It was put there on purpose long after the Council of Nicea.
As for the owner ship of guns? How old are you? Where were people like you when people were being lynched by Christians? Those victims should of had a gun on them. The lyncher is never accused of Violence.
You think a black man in the South between the 1860s to 1960s would've had any more of a chance on a fair judicial approach if he had a gun? Let alone used it? I'm old enough to be able to study history... Even if these lynched men had pulled a gun and killed their attackers (and rightfully so), they'd have NO chance in the pre-Civil Rights era South.
I agree with your monopoly statement... I don't feign to know THE truth... My reaction on the Bible is mainly aimed at those protestants who will stress how unchristian Catholicsm is, when it was the Catholic Church that composed the canon of the New Testament (Synod of Hippo, 393) as it is read today by all denominations. Frankly, this anti-catholicism can get grating.
The Bible has truth in it but it has been tampared with. This has caused a lot of people to stray as predicted in that very same Bible. It was the Romans and Greeks who added Paganism to the faith when they established Christianity in AD 325 at the Council of Nicea. Then they created the Roman Catholic Church, and changed the real message of God into a lie, and caused a lot of people to rebel. Now God's Laws seem strange to some people. But the truth is raising up in these evil last days.
Tampered with? How? The Catholic Church canonized the Bible in 393... Protestants accept the same 66 books, leaving out the deutro-canonical ones, which are compiled of less than 10 books. Your Bible is exactly the same as it was when the Catholic Church closed the canon in 393 at the synod of Hippo - the Protestants only took books OFF the list, nothing was ADDED neither by Catholics or Protestants. Get your facts straight.
Who says God has to be omnipotent at all times. HE came to earth as both man and human. God is all knwoing and all powerful. If he wanted he can make logic turn into flowers. He can turn your brain into a peanut, then what would youre logic do?
The only reason yuo can reaosn and turn against God is because he gave you the choice. Religion is what seperates us from the other animals on this planet. Religion is the most unique thing we have on this materialistic BS planet.
First stop making a strawman out of me. I am not speaking in generalities. I am speaking of my religion. Atheist names are insulting to God, therefore insulting to me, therfore insulting to christians.
I'm much more insulted, as a Christian, that Christianity is hi-jacked by certain political groups that seem to think gun ownership is more important than health care for the poor. The names, I can deal with that... The hypocricy, that's another thing.
Are you that dense that you think self defense is a negative? Gun ownership is a right because it protects my life. Just like I am becoming a doctor to protect other.
And I know what national healthcare does. It creats misery for everyone. I mean, sure the poor will have better health care, but the people who can afford it will have no choice.
Ill deal with my PERSONAL doctor, thank you. Get a job, your not entitled to anything. Go kill some babies in the dem party.
I have a job. My concern is that health care should be available for all. Being poor does not necessarily mean being unemployed, but thank you for proving my point... Also, you still haven't quoted Christ on endorsing baring arms, nor haven't you quoted Him on endorsing capitalism and nor have you quoted Him on endorsing a physical army. Lastly, I don't kill babies, but I understand that is your last resort.
Ya I love waiting in lines for serious illnesses/ injuries. Maybe ill die when my number is called. Did Jesus endorse national health care? I must have misread......
So with your logic, the USA should dismantle their army? Wow, that's gonna suck when a country notices a huge wealthy country with no form of defense. Come on in enemies.....
Lastly, your party does kill babies...shit...your president even extended abortions to other countries. Hope your happy, because you people are disgusting.
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.
Learn about the Crusades if you want to know what great examples to the world believers were. More people have died in the name of God then almost anything. Forgetting about ones own history seems to be the way of the believe these days. Let's not forget the unfair persecutions of others by the Christians in the present. Atheists can't hold office in 6 or so states in the US for example. Homosexuals are hated and blocked from having fed benefits or killed in this religiously dominated world.
How about the Holocaust. Hitler despised religion. Don't even try to pass hiteler off as a christian. Or how about socialism? 100,000,000 people right there. Learn your facts noob.
Oh nice! What a respectful individual you are. The Holocaust was horrible yes, but you have the conceite to just laugh off the Crusades? Why is that? I bet I know. Because it happens to be the history of your own religion? Good job putting words in my mouth about Hitler too. When it comes to him being Christian, lots of people are debating that. Bring it up with them. Anyways how bout, the Spanish Inquisition, the 30 Years War, The French Wars of Religion.
Right...well the evidence about whether Hitler was a Christian or not is in dispute. The majority of Nazi's though were Christian, as was most of Europe at that time. They are surely at least partly to blame, no?
Truth is people are weak most of the time, and those who don't recognize this will remain so. Thats where relizing your a sinner comes into play. If we didn't have religion the world would be a lot worse off. People would have no one to turn too in desperate ti9mes.
Your logic falls short here. Of course your going to have the nuts who skew religion to fit their own agenda(war etc ) but the matter is religion is healthy and comforting to many.
What about socialism? It's a form of gov't structure, not a religious way of thinking. You don't think real religions aren't possible in a socialist structure or what? Learn to debate at what's at hand "NOOB". You can't bring up random stuff then call the other person a noob for not mentioning that, especially on a limited youtube comment. Also, good job pulling opinions out of your ass as facts. Without religion the world would have nobody to turn to? How bout each other? We actually exist
I eman I can;t even post a video or people come on an 1 star it. I had a 5/5. I put effort into that guitar cover and many fans of that genre liked it.
It is only when I start debating people like you that my rating plumets. Persecution at it's best. I know why brock get's low rating and atheists get 5/5 all the time. Christians have morals and compassion. They wouldn;t demolish a video because they disagree. Christians outnumber you 7 to 1
Primary killer of humans? Sorry buddy, but the primary killer of humans are diseases and health conditions. Your just ranting now and not even giving a clue at what your referring to. What exactly did I say that is "factually bankrupt"? If you haven't noticed, most of what I'm typing are questions. All I'm getting out of this is "im right your wrong. I'm not going to say what your wrong about but you are" and "I'm pissed off about people rating my video down when it shouldn't be!"
You're blabbing about the crusades and how religion is a major killer. That comment was a hack at religions role in society. Fact is religion keeps many people from going over the edge. People do nasty things when they are at breaking point and have no one to turn too.
I am not debating if God exists or not, right now. I am debating your point that religion is a negative for society.
So your saying the 9 Christian Crusades (4 major), the 30 Years War, the Spanish Inquisition, the French Religious Wars, the Taiping Rebellion, ect are meaningless? Even now Islam and Christianity are at each others throats. Both want to take over the world. Has it occurred to you that sticking "God Bless America" all over US aircraft carriers makes its populous think they have the moral high ground to go on killing as if God is picking out his favorite countries to wage war for him.
My video has nothing to do with the point. That was a side rant about how I cannot even dabate a serious topic without some jerks going on my channel and rating a video a 1 star. When it isn't even about religion.
I've heard this lame excuse of an argument before.
Definition of Omnipotent---
"" almighty or infinite in power, as God""
This is trapped logic. First, why would god create a rock he could not lift, he is omnipotent. And he already did that, Jesus Christ. I am pretty sure there was rocks human jesus could not lift without God's omnipotent being.
Ofcourse chimpanzees and other close relatives to us have a certain form of self-awareness, but we are the only one who's at this high level of self-awareness to be able to think through morality. Although that's not 100% true either, because you find a certain form of morality in many animal species too.
So in the end there is no real difference between humans and other animals.
The similarities between man and other animals is truly astounding.
The similarities between man and all of the other living organisms on Earth makes one understand that we are related to every living organism on Earth.
Having said that, man is without equal in our ability to comprehend existence.
You're arguing a false dichotomy, 'atheism can't be right therefore Christianity must be correct', I would've thought you smarter then that, but obviously not.
Humans have two important unique traits.
1. Free hands capable of using tools.
2. A mind able to create complex language (this can be used in writing to keep records and send messages long distances).
The nature of these differences are quite small, but important (ie the mental 'upgrade' is quite small, but important).
The truth about Christianity is insane. Everyone who believes in Christianity, does so differently. We have some who believe that the Earth is onl;y 6000 yeras old and the dinosaurs died out just before Christ was born. Some believe the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but don't believe in evolution. Then you have some who believe in evolution, and this is Gods way of doing things.
The guy in this video is a formidable combination of hypocrisy and anti-intellectual idiocy.
You are right. Atheists are evil, mean and nasty people.
A great Christian that I find inspirational is Charles Darwin.
Who could have imagined that a Christian by the name of Charles Darwin, armed with only TRUTH as his weapon, could have so utterly destroyed the Christian God.
Since reasoned logic doesn't seem to help you in your woeful journey through life, might I suggest an enema.
What you are confusing is the prehensile nature of hands, and the brainpower required to drive them. the reason an ape is not able to compose a 12-part symphony is exactly the same reason that my 2-month old daughter cannot. They don't have the brain power to do it. Note that both have hands.
I don't think people claim that ants have a superior society, (quote mining) but they DO have a better organised one - an ant cannot survive in isolation, survival is an emergent property of the ensemble.
2. You've yet to respond to the points you listed in an "purely intellectual" way:
a) various atheistic truths are not truths. what truths are you talking about here? you list none, just insist they are "go the other way, against what the atheist is telling you" whatever it is that you're talking about. You're making a video, do it honourably and list them.
Apes do many things of significance with their hands - they make and use tools, communicate, nurse their young etc. etc. etc..
I got only 1/3rd of the way through your video, and I had to stop. There are too many errors.
I got up tog 2:16 and here's what I have so far, in multi parts:
oo many assertions, false representations and misunderstood information.
1. being asked a "purely intellectual question" merits a purely intellectual answer. You have yet to do that. What you have offered are descriptions of your personal feelings of fuzziness.
there is indeed a world of difference between us apes and our "animal" ancestors; but not nearly so much as you claim. certainly not enough for us to believe some scary old middle eastern sky-man is the reason for it.
But you said that you have proof, but you have never given anything to support your belief. Other than "The Bible is right". But you have provided nothing else.
I think your just a malicious person who likes to push buttons.
The ape can use his hand to make spears that he used to kill other animals for food. - Owned we have similar DNA to the Chimp. Christian principles built America?! haha like slavery for example. WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE? Pleese show me. Original sin is one of the most sickening ideas of Christianity. You think everyone deserves to suffer for eternity forever because of what your "ancestors" did thousands of years ago. They ate from the tree of knowledge (that evil thing)
Why would an all-wise God put 100 other religions on this planet, all with just as much evidence of being true as Christianity, and make it so that if anyone chose the wrong religion, even though they had absolutely no way of knowing which one was correct, they would suffer for all eternity. Does that sound all-wise to you? It doesn't sound all-wise to me, and I'm just a humble human.
The world was not in the dark ages. Europe was. Christianity was not the light in the darkness, it was the darkness.
Look at the Arab world at that time and you'll see a world of enlightenment and education and wealth. They were doing great. It was the Christian world that was groping around in the dark.
your the most stupid person iv ever experienced. all your claims about what atheists claim are realy claims about what "evolutionists" may claim. atheism is a counter claim to a claim of proof, it is a default. everything else is optional. just because we dont know why there is this difference between man and beasts doesnt mean you know or anyone else knows or you dont know or anyone else doesnt know or anyone can or cannot know, asshat, good day.
"There's not a scientific consensus on the theory of evolution. Fact."
lol
99,7% of all biologists support the theory of evolution. You don't call that consensus? And the 0,3% that disagree haven't published a single paper with evidence contradictory to evolution, they only disagree because of a dogmatic religious belief.
And yes, there is a scientific consensus on the theory of evolution. You're just blinded by your religious beliefs. And I think you should look at your last two sentences and apply it to yourself.
But thanks for clarifying you don't understand evolution, what a theory is, etc.
You can argue that if you want, but it's not what the theory of evolution argues, making your attacks against it irrelevant at best and idiotic at worst. What are "Cavemen"? We've found fossils of multiple hominid species that we descended from. And you also clearly don't know what a theory is.
I assume you don't wash your hands after using the toilet because you don't believe in the germ THEORY of disease?
What step between ape and human? No one argues that. We came from a common ancestor - and we've found their remains. We've also sequenced the genome of a Neanderthal, and it's definitely not homo sapiens sapiens. Shrug.
Do you actually believe that? Do you actually believe we just suddenly discovered all the technology we have now? I suppose you also think we have invented anything that is to be invented, huh? No. Technology is built on earlier technology. Because of the fact that we started coming up with technology that allowed us to stop having to work so hard to survive (irrigation, weapons) then there was more room for technology to thrive. Either way, it was definitely gradual.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
a lot of atheists have fooled themselves into believing they "tried christianity" and it didn't work so it isn't real. you can't try God on. it doesn't work like that. Man can't cure a toothache by his own will yet he thinks he at one time got himself saved in christianity one time. God is the one who regenerates the heart. you either believe now or you never did. don't blame your phase(with no change of heart) on God. He's real; your experience just wasn't cuz u tried to do it yourself
i'll wrap this up really quick. atheists spend a majority of the time saying there is no proof for this or that. they ignore creation and the conscience-two lights with which God has used to point man to His existence. Yet they still refuse to believe. why? because men suppress the truth in unrighteousness. They don't want to believe! it's easier to worship yourself and actually think that you don't have to be accountable for anything. mankind is twisted
Animals don't do these things because they have evolved differently from us. Evolution does not have a will....We are not it's ultimate creation. Man's method of survival through evolution an natural selection was intillect, where as with other animals different properties led to the survival of the species we know today.
Man came evolved from apes. Our DNA is 98% identical and life originated billions of years ago from a process called abiogenesis
lol lol lol lol lol lol dang show me the money lol now now now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol dang y do u spend time trying to prove thars no god if he is not y do u hate what bis not lol lol lol
dang u all come hear like a fly dose to poop lol if u dont think god is real then dont hear this stuff i love how u hate god jesus thats what he said u will do lol
lol lol ha ha new subber bro lol iv been fire off shots too at them and all thay say is ohh u are retarded thars no god lol man thay are a joke i will have new vids soon god bless
Firstly, Christianity is a belief of stories of a "God" in a Book, just like any other. It offers the same thing, the one true way, has a form of Hell for the unbeliever, as all do.Every Book has changed someones life to the 'open door'.
How does your Book differ from all the rest?
As far as reading the NT....get four NT's and read each Gospel side to side.
Who/what was there when the stone was removed (1 out of masny inconsistencies)
Also, Hindu is a heck of alot older than Christianity. Are the events in that religion's Book truer? If you can't answer, or ignore these questions, maybe it's time for the other believers to find out for themselves via the library.
How are these arguments for Christianity at all? Even if you believe in these arguments, all they do is point to the possibility of a creator. There is no argument for any religion.
A Christian will say "But you can not prove there is no God/Jesus wasn't the Messiah...Etc." But neither can I prove there is no invisible flying purple monkeys, so why should I believe in a Christian religion and refuse to accept invisible flying purple monkeys?
You are taking what humans have done and what animals haven't don't and calling it what humans can do and animals can't. What about before humans ever created statues and cities? Were they animals then? I suppose what you are getting at is that they evolved into something more? Guess you just don't understand evolution then.
You call yourself a good Christian mate, but in reality you are nothing but a smart mouthed little rich mummies boy that needs to pull his head out of his arse. There are real MEN that are non Christian that show 10 times more respect, compassion and integrity than you could ever hope to garner within your own paltry existence.
Can i ask you a question AtheistAntidote. Did you EVER have to get out into the world on your own without mum and dad, girlfriend..etc.. to survive? Did mum and dad throw money in your direction your whole life to help pay all your University Fees, your mortgage..etc..??
If a good 75% of answers to my questions hit upon the "yes" then please shut the fuck up, get your arse out of your material and picture perfect locality and experience a world beyond that of your perfect Christian bullshit
I know many atheists who have read the Bible cover to cover. Hell, my grandfather was a Lutheran missionary whose children attended church every day, and 4/6 of those kids became atheists later in life. The Bible proves nothing.
All religion, every one of them, exist in a form of non-reality.
This is the 21st century. The advancements mankind has made in the never ending quest for our place in this reality, have made it quite clear that we, as a species, are completely alone.
There is no faith.
There is no hope.
When we die, we are gone FOREVER!
Personally, I am okay with this.
My morality is intact. My recognition of the wonders set before me are actually enhanced by this knowledge.
Do statues actually help a society? Well, if they are an imperfect people than I guess it could boost morale. However, ants don't need a morale boost since they form true unification societies.
Before you make videos, i suggest you read up evolution. It is a small portion of apes that were smart enough to do those things that evolved into humans over time. The monkeys we have today didnt have tose select genes... And that is the watered down version.
Most christians that argue against evolution and bring up ID mostly have not picked up any new textbooks regarding the subjects. They only know the basics. They do not know of modern synthesis, molecular biology that supports evolution, etc etc.
Its not fair to say that christianity hasnt impacted our modern culture. This nation was found upon christian ideology and philosophy.
That being said, I think modern day christians need to stop arguing against science and all the empirical evidence we have. It goes for both sides. Science will never prove or disprove existence of God. That is your own interpretation and perogative. You cant say however that evolution doesnt occur just to make it fit your own worldview.Thats just ignorant.
"when you really look at it yourself, and you search honestly and diligently...."
look at the front cover of your bible. i'm quite sure that you'll find the word 'version'.
how's that for honest and diligent?
since sixteen eleven, one thousand five hundred and some odd years after the fact, and that's the newest part of it!
welcome to the modern age brock, where the percentage of humans prone to believe this emotional horseshit has changed, drastically. & when do you start begging for coin?
It sounds as if that were the one word he has used the most often in his life. Reminds me of the way certain engineers pronounce technical terms which they have come so accustomed to in their job that they now use them without having any thought at all.
Just more ignorant babble from the king of emotional tripe. Really Brock you need an education and a testosterone injection so you can grow the balls to face reality. Hunkered down behind primitive superstitions like you are you can't see the real beauty of this universe. I'd think sooner or later you would tire of people calling you on your arrogance and stupidity. Your crazy assertions without evidence are nothing more than the ravings of a loony. Now backup your claims or kindly shut up.
This isn't an argument. It's only a series of assertions that aren't backed up by evidence or examples.
It's also full of loaded language. Yes, humans are animals insofar as we're part of the "animal kingdom" (as opposed to the "plant kingdom"). But to refer to animals only as "beasts" is a pejorative. A good argument wouldn't need this kind of misleading language.
Did anyone else noticed how this video was just a long string of bold statements with zero arguments/evidence? The only thing he did was raise questions which only revealed his utter ignorance on the theory of evolution.
Honestly, if you want to know why we have cognitive abilities that our close relatives don't have (and this DOESN'T falsify evolution), look into encephalization. A good starting place would be "A Brief History of the Mind" by William H. Calvin (Oxord, 2004).
The statement that modern civilization is based on Christianity is just laughable. Modern civilization is based on the rejection of dogma in favor of empiricism and in general embracing rationality. This was key to getting out of the dark ages.
Christianity is all about choosing blind faith, dogma and ignorance over science and empirical evidence. Religion explains nothing, and never has - it's why it took science to create the modern wealth that allowed us to raise our ethical standards.
I love how it doesn't occur to this guy that homo sapiens killed and replaced all other forms of intelligent ape - as they were dangerous competition. It's not strange that there's a large gap between the current leaders of the evolutionary race and everything else.(And of course, you have to abandon all of natural science to suggest man was created by a god - it's hardly a rational path)

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

2:38 "art" 1:47 "statue"
art is a sin.
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
this is from the allabouttruth org 10 commandments page.
if the western world was founded on christian principals, art would be banned.
if your claim as to why christianity is good directly contradicts the 10 commendments, you need to change your arguements.

What was the Catholic Church doing with those holy books in the first place. They were the same people who declared war on Ethiopia, and were jealous of Halie Selassie who was recognised as king of kings, from the tribe of Judah, and the linage of King Solomon, and king David.
The price for freedom is death. The Ethiopians proved that already. The whole Catholic Church , and Protestants, watched innocent black people being murdered by the court system in America in the 1500s - 50s, 60s etc

I agree with your monopoly statement... I don't feign to know THE truth... My reaction on the Bible is mainly aimed at those protestants who will stress how unchristian Catholicsm is, when it was the Catholic Church that composed the canon of the New Testament (Synod of Hippo, 393) as it is read today by all denominations. Frankly, this anti-catholicism can get grating.
TennesseeOwnsMyBones 2 years ago
The Bible has truth in it but it has been tampared with. This has caused a lot of people to stray as predicted in that very same Bible. It was the Romans and Greeks who added Paganism to the faith when they established Christianity in AD 325 at the Council of Nicea. Then they created the Roman Catholic Church, and changed the real message of God into a lie, and caused a lot of people to rebel. Now God's Laws seem strange to some people. But the truth is raising up in these evil last days.

Tampered with? How? The Catholic Church canonized the Bible in 393... Protestants accept the same 66 books, leaving out the deutro-canonical ones, which are compiled of less than 10 books. Your Bible is exactly the same as it was when the Catholic Church closed the canon in 393 at the synod of Hippo - the Protestants only took books OFF the list, nothing was ADDED neither by Catholics or Protestants. Get your facts straight.

All the believers were one in heart and mind.

For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

You're arguing a false dichotomy, 'atheism can't be right therefore Christianity must be correct', I would've thought you smarter then that, but obviously not.
Humans have two important unique traits.

2. A mind able to create complex language (this can be used in writing to keep records and send messages long distances).
The nature of these differences are quite small, but important (ie the mental 'upgrade' is quite small, but important).

The ape can use his hand to make spears that he used to kill other animals for food. - Owned we have similar DNA to the Chimp. Christian principles built America?! haha like slavery for example. WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE? Pleese show me. Original sin is one of the most sickening ideas of Christianity. You think everyone deserves to suffer for eternity forever because of what your "ancestors" did thousands of years ago. They ate from the tree of knowledge (that evil thing)

Why would an all-wise God put 100 other religions on this planet, all with just as much evidence of being true as Christianity, and make it so that if anyone chose the wrong religion, even though they had absolutely no way of knowing which one was correct, they would suffer for all eternity. Does that sound all-wise to you? It doesn't sound all-wise to me, and I'm just a humble human.

The world was not in the dark ages. Europe was. Christianity was not the light in the darkness, it was the darkness.
Look at the Arab world at that time and you'll see a world of enlightenment and education and wealth. They were doing great. It was the Christian world that was groping around in the dark.
You really need an education.

your the most stupid person iv ever experienced. all your claims about what atheists claim are realy claims about what "evolutionists" may claim. atheism is a counter claim to a claim of proof, it is a default. everything else is optional. just because we dont know why there is this difference between man and beasts doesnt mean you know or anyone else knows or you dont know or anyone else doesnt know or anyone can or cannot know, asshat, good day.

"There's not a scientific consensus on the theory of evolution. Fact."
lol
99,7% of all biologists support the theory of evolution. You don't call that consensus? And the 0,3% that disagree haven't published a single paper with evidence contradictory to evolution, they only disagree because of a dogmatic religious belief.

And yes, there is a scientific consensus on the theory of evolution. You're just blinded by your religious beliefs. And I think you should look at your last two sentences and apply it to yourself.
But thanks for clarifying you don't understand evolution, what a theory is, etc.

You can argue that if you want, but it's not what the theory of evolution argues, making your attacks against it irrelevant at best and idiotic at worst. What are "Cavemen"? We've found fossils of multiple hominid species that we descended from. And you also clearly don't know what a theory is.
I assume you don't wash your hands after using the toilet because you don't believe in the germ THEORY of disease?

What step between ape and human? No one argues that. We came from a common ancestor - and we've found their remains. We've also sequenced the genome of a Neanderthal, and it's definitely not homo sapiens sapiens. Shrug.
Rithrandil 2 years ago 2
Do you actually believe that? Do you actually believe we just suddenly discovered all the technology we have now? I suppose you also think we have invented anything that is to be invented, huh? No. Technology is built on earlier technology. Because of the fact that we started coming up with technology that allowed us to stop having to work so hard to survive (irrigation, weapons) then there was more room for technology to thrive. Either way, it was definitely gradual.

a lot of atheists have fooled themselves into believing they "tried christianity" and it didn't work so it isn't real. you can't try God on. it doesn't work like that. Man can't cure a toothache by his own will yet he thinks he at one time got himself saved in christianity one time. God is the one who regenerates the heart. you either believe now or you never did. don't blame your phase(with no change of heart) on God. He's real; your experience just wasn't cuz u tried to do it yourself
shockingalternative 2 years ago
i'll wrap this up really quick. atheists spend a majority of the time saying there is no proof for this or that. they ignore creation and the conscience-two lights with which God has used to point man to His existence. Yet they still refuse to believe. why? because men suppress the truth in unrighteousness. They don't want to believe! it's easier to worship yourself and actually think that you don't have to be accountable for anything. mankind is twisted
shockingalternative 2 years ago
So this is your logic:
1) The universe exists.
2) People have consciences.
Therefor, Jesus is the son of God?
You're missing quite a few steps there, buddy, namely proving that the universe is a creation and that you need a "god" for a conscience.

Animals don't do these things because they have evolved differently from us. Evolution does not have a will....We are not it's ultimate creation. Man's method of survival through evolution an natural selection was intillect, where as with other animals different properties led to the survival of the species we know today.
Man came evolved from apes. Our DNA is 98% identical and life originated billions of years ago from a process called abiogenesis

Firstly, Christianity is a belief of stories of a "God" in a Book, just like any other. It offers the same thing, the one true way, has a form of Hell for the unbeliever, as all do.Every Book has changed someones life to the 'open door'.
How does your Book differ from all the rest?
As far as reading the NT....get four NT's and read each Gospel side to side.

Also, Hindu is a heck of alot older than Christianity. Are the events in that religion's Book truer? If you can't answer, or ignore these questions, maybe it's time for the other believers to find out for themselves via the library.

How are these arguments for Christianity at all? Even if you believe in these arguments, all they do is point to the possibility of a creator. There is no argument for any religion.
A Christian will say "But you can not prove there is no God/Jesus wasn't the Messiah...Etc." But neither can I prove there is no invisible flying purple monkeys, so why should I believe in a Christian religion and refuse to accept invisible flying purple monkeys?

You are taking what humans have done and what animals haven't don't and calling it what humans can do and animals can't. What about before humans ever created statues and cities? Were they animals then? I suppose what you are getting at is that they evolved into something more? Guess you just don't understand evolution then.

All religion, every one of them, exist in a form of non-reality.
This is the 21st century. The advancements mankind has made in the never ending quest for our place in this reality, have made it quite clear that we, as a species, are completely alone.
There is no faith.
There is no hope.
When we die, we are gone FOREVER!
Personally, I am okay with this.
My morality is intact. My recognition of the wonders set before me are actually enhanced by this knowledge.

Do statues actually help a society? Well, if they are an imperfect people than I guess it could boost morale. However, ants don't need a morale boost since they form true unification societies.

Before you make videos, i suggest you read up evolution. It is a small portion of apes that were smart enough to do those things that evolved into humans over time. The monkeys we have today didnt have tose select genes... And that is the watered down version.

Its not fair to say that christianity hasnt impacted our modern culture. This nation was found upon christian ideology and philosophy.
That being said, I think modern day christians need to stop arguing against science and all the empirical evidence we have. It goes for both sides. Science will never prove or disprove existence of God. That is your own interpretation and perogative. You cant say however that evolution doesnt occur just to make it fit your own worldview.Thats just ignorant.

Too bad we can and do answer these questions, and you are simply lying when you say we do not.
Christianity caused the dark ages, burning, killing, and condemning other religions and sciences.
It does not go "the way of the buffalo" because people like you exist. Liars and ignorant fools.
Lies, lies, lies. You're becoming increasingly more sickening after every video I watch.

This isn't an argument. It's only a series of assertions that aren't backed up by evidence or examples.
It's also full of loaded language. Yes, humans are animals insofar as we're part of the "animal kingdom" (as opposed to the "plant kingdom"). But to refer to animals only as "beasts" is a pejorative. A good argument wouldn't need this kind of misleading language.

Did anyone else noticed how this video was just a long string of bold statements with zero arguments/evidence? The only thing he did was raise questions which only revealed his utter ignorance on the theory of evolution.
Honestly, if you want to know why we have cognitive abilities that our close relatives don't have (and this DOESN'T falsify evolution), look into encephalization. A good starting place would be "A Brief History of the Mind" by William H. Calvin (Oxord, 2004).

The statement that modern civilization is based on Christianity is just laughable. Modern civilization is based on the rejection of dogma in favor of empiricism and in general embracing rationality. This was key to getting out of the dark ages.
Christianity is all about choosing blind faith, dogma and ignorance over science and empirical evidence. Religion explains nothing, and never has - it's why it took science to create the modern wealth that allowed us to raise our ethical standards.

I love how it doesn't occur to this guy that homo sapiens killed and replaced all other forms of intelligent ape - as they were dangerous competition. It's not strange that there's a large gap between the current leaders of the evolutionary race and everything else.(And of course, you have to abandon all of natural science to suggest man was created by a god - it's hardly a rational path)
