Why the Bible is Essentially Useless and Irrelevant

[BenSnellBible]

Simply Marvelous. This is the second one of yours I've seen today and can hardly wait to see another. (BenSnellBible)

[SteelVelocity]

And then they found out what Bible Black really is.

[Laughingantelope37]

A lot those are control methods.....and some of the others were practical to th time period. You have to realize that the bible was written thousands years ago and nobody has bother to adjust the bible to our modern society so it would fit general human culture of our time. so you will have something about hebrew slaves not to mention its translated a good plenty of times so it almost like an ancient game of Telephone. Christianity is not at fault but merely the people who enforce it

[Oceanus57]

@Laughingantelope37 Congratulations on completely missing the point of the video. The point being that we use our critical thinking skills to choose what the Bible says to us, and reject that which is clearly nonsense. In which case, the Bible is irrelevant, and the really important thing is our ability to think.

[ripentheconclave]

@Oceanus57 lol, i need this newman album, he's totally our modern day, overweight goethe, love the guy

[ripentheconclave]

the bible says don't eat dolphins...

[bensdadfrank]

@Laughingantelope37 Think about the control methods now, Ask 100 random people to whom Brad Pitt is married, and follow up with asking who is the V.P. of the U.S.A. We care more about sports and celebrities, than we do about anything else. Churches were replaced with stadiums, just look at the NFL on Sunday. Patriotism is confused with support of our troops. I do support our troops, just not the assholes who send them off in the name of profit.Same old story.

[KPMusicTV]

You point out scripture with no reference as to where you found this and Who's bible! If you knew about religious dogma you'd know that there are many denominations that have subtracted and added things into the bible....

[Oceanus57]

Your point being?

[m0thland]

I love Randy Newman! Thanks for putting this up!!

[SergeantLuke]

Ugh. It's people like you that give atheists a bad name. I'm atheistic as well, but you and I have no right to go around telling people what to think. People have the right to believe whatever they want to believe. And those who don't share their beliefs should still be tolerant of them, and not call them insulting things like "moronic" or "nonsense".

[Oceanus57]

@SergeantLuke I agree. You and I have no right to go around telling people what to think. And neither does any church or holy man, something that they have needed pointing out to them for 4000 years. All I'm doing is providing balance.

I'm not telling people what they should think.

I'm telling them THAT they should think.

[endingman]

How do you feel about Scientologists?

[princegalena]

@endingman does it really matter? I think his point is that religion in general, is bad. unless of course you have a point that I missed...

[endingman]

@princegalena My point is that he seems to be singling out Christianity in particular. If he's going to be a critic of religion, why doesn't he make a video about the Qu'ran or the Torah?

[princegalena]

@endingman I see your point but keep in mind that Judaism is a classical victim of persecution, and Islam is now very much hated in the media.

[endingman]

@princegalena What does that have to do with anything? So, are you saying that by the alleged vice of being the religion with the greatest number of adherents, his decision to deride Christianity is rectified?

[princegalena]

@endingman That may or not be the case. I'm not the creator of the video, so therefore I couldn't tell you the motive.

[Oceanus57]

@princegalena The motive of the video is to ridicule religion. As Christianity is the dominant nonsense in the culture I best understand, that's the one I want to combat.

All religions are poisonous nonsense. First world religions are more poisonous because their adherents have good access to the truth and should use their critical thinking skills more accurately in pursuit of a better world. If we are to lead the world by example, we should drop our stupid religious nonsense first.

[Zombifaction]

@endingman well I'm just wondering here why would you care about them. To you if you are christian, aren't they wrong? They are the false religion worshiping false idols. Therefore you wouldn't need them to be discredited.

Just my opinion on yours.

[grimwatcher]

I really like your style, keep ti up!

[jrc19doglover]

Why is everyone getting so butt-hurt about this video?

[macularis]

Well said!

[buzzkilla12]

wats the song?

[Oceanus57]

It's from Randy Newman's Faust album.

[codpeace]

IMO, it takes far more faith to be an atheist that a theist. So for that you have my respect. After all, it's a lot easier to believe in something than to believe in nothing :)

[Oceanus57]

Wow, how witty you are.

Did you think that up all on your own?

I only ask because I've heard it a million times before.

Because it's a dozy, lazy, moronic chris-chin homily.

[codpeace]

I wan't trying to be witty, I genuinely do respect your beliefs and I'm sorry if I caused offence. However, in posting your video you have put yourself in the 'firing line' somewhat, so you shouldn't surprised when you get a little back! No single comment is going to make you suddenly change your viewpoint, you've made your mind up and that's that, but, as a christian, I could equally say that I've heard those arguments about the Bible a millions times before so it is a bit of a cheap shot!

[Oceanus57]

Just as well you're not trying to be witty, as most christians have had their witty bones amputated.

Always makes me laugh when someone says "as a Christian". It means nothing, as christians come in all sorts of different flavours.

Do you believe in hell?

Do you believe a virgin was impregnated by god?

Do you believe the world is about 6000 years old?

Is the bible the word of god?

In other words, please explain exactly how deranged by nonsense you are.

[Zombifaction]

@Oceanus57 Saying right now I myself am a nihilist, incase you don't know it means I believe in nothing. No god, no Devil, no good, no evil. Just life, enjoy it.

But you can't amputate a bone, sorry that just really bothers me. it would have to be removed but amputation means cutting off or it does for the most part.

Also for all who want to know I capitalized the Devil's name because he is a far more enjoyable character.

Past that good song I really enjoy this. Faust=Awesome!

[speccwolf]

We dont believe in nothing, just use logic instead of imagination to get fact.

[Zombifaction]

@speccwolf I like fiction more than reality but just acknowledge that it is false truthes. Live in the fake world till the real one blows up. Now I'm off to my palace! Bring the limo Chives!

But you do have a point facts make the world turn and falsehoods keep me entertained, til I have to deal with their followers.

[speccwolf]

@Zombifaction I agree completely, good comment mate.

[SecularEvil]

@codpeace Sure it is easier to just believe in every ridiculous claim that people tell you, it's hell of a lot harder to THINK with your brain and figure out if the claim is actually correct or not! So I agree that you're taking the lazy man's road and atheists are taking the hard road to find out what's actually true!

[screamobassist102]

PLEASE SHUT THE FRIK UP WITH ALL THE "I LOVE THE TRUTH, YOU LOVE THE LIES" crap, because when it all comes down to, sadly you will burn in hell for eternity, and you will think "all the stuff i invested my time in was wrong, all those people who tried to tell me and help me were right!" you know you would rather believe in a paradise, but u believe in becoming a tree in your next life, now tell me, if reincarnation were true, then why arent you a tree right now? Your a pathetic ANGRY fool

[Oceanus57]

You know nothing about what atheists and rational people believe because you are afraid to find out.

No atheist believes they will be re-incarnated as a tree. It's a chris-chin homliy.

You, however, believe in talking snakes, virgins becoming magically impregnated by angels, water that turns into wine and then into blood, and an invisible man who lives in the sky who can hear what you think.

I love the truth.

You love the lies.

Eat your heart out.

[screamobassist102]

Virgins can become magically pregnate today, it is called sperm banks, i think you know how it works, if it could happen then. . . i am not saying Mary went to a sperm bank, and the God i believe in is not invisbile, but very visible, but you close your eyes whenever you have the opportunity to see him. And i am so not affraid of all the bull and crap you believe in, so please mhy friend, endulge me:)

[Oceanus57]

Maybe there's a picture of your god on the inside of your eyelids then, like that one that keeps showing up on toast.

Religion is a disease of the mind, and the truth is the cure. You are a carrier.

Get treated for it.

All you have to do is take courage, read, and think.

[Zombifaction]

@Oceanus57 sadly religion isn't a disease or else we could cure it, it's a choice like being a nazi.

[Zombifaction]

@screamobassist102 sperm banks aren't magic, that is called artificial insemination, meaning they had it put there on purpose. and there are other ways of becomeing preggers without fucking it's called cumm on her pussy. No penetration needed, so your God is a date rapist. using the magic of date rape drugs.

[Oceanus57]

Hey dickhead. I love your comments. They do more for the atheist cause than all my vids put together.

Thanks for the perfect illustrations of how stupid you have to be and what dumb things you have to believe before you can call yourself a Christian.

[screamobassist102]

Hey faggot, you know what you have to believe? That we all magically transformed from some sort of goop that appeared from nowhere and somehow you and the computer you are typing on is related, the mouse you are clicking with, everything you have around you you are related too, even

[Oceanus57]

Wow, it's really hard to type when you're laughing so much you shake.

I believe in magic, and you, the sensible theist....

ahahahahahaahahahahahah!

Hahahahahahahaha!

[Oceanus57]

and if you thought screamobassist102 was abusive here, check out one of the sweet little messages he sent me direct to my in-box:

"your mom's dick you have been sucking on your whole life"

Hmmmm.

Christian love for his brother man so sweet and wholesome you can practically taste it.

Now a serious q. Do you think anyone who really believes in hell would post a message like that?

The key phrase in the question is "really believes". Not just says he believes, which is different.

[Zombifaction]

@Oceanus57 well suprisingly so. It's really the fact they think they are so right they can do anything to you because you don't believe that means it's righteous punishment. I had terachers in school calling me a degenerate sinner and say ot my face in front of classes I was going to hell. but it happens

[Zombifaction]

@screamobassist102 I thought god worked with magic.

[buzzkilla12]

your the one that lives with lies. atheists view the world as it really is. you've been brainwashed by your parents. do you really think that you would believe in jesus if your parents hadn't forced it into your head at a young age?

[Zombifaction]

@buzzkilla12 I believed in Jesus for a long time without it really being force fed to me, I realized that there very well could have been a jesus and he could have done all those things but that was then and if it truely takes all the stuff that everyone claims to get to a place like heaven I decided I'd rather have a good time where I know things exist here. So I changed to an athiest then I learned that that didn't suit me so I became a nihilist.

[Zombifaction]

@screamobassist102 well to follow athiest don't believe in rencarnation that is hindus and such religions. with athiest it can vary on what we believe because for the most part they don't care. And I would rather burn in a hell forever than just following someone just cause or out of fear.

A true belief in something comes from your heart, I know I believed when I was little but you sound like your a christian out of pure fear of hell as opposed to just believing because you feel it is right

[screamobassist102]

@Zombifaction oh dude haha this was a long time ago haha. But no, i am not a christian due to fear of hell, i am a christian because of the hope of heaven(:

[Oceanus57]

@screamobassist102 I see you haven't yet learned to think. I love the way your stupid stories utterly contradict themselves, and you just can't see it. The idea of hell completely contradicts the possibility of Heaven. How could anyone enjoy an eternity of bliss in heaven while knowing their fellow human beings who didn't make the cut were suffering an eternity of torture in hell? Your ideas are so moronic, it's delicious.

There is no afterlife. This is the only existence you'll know.

[zagro2000]

@Oceanus57

I am an agnostic myself but your statement about incompatibility of hell and heaven reveals a very childish understanding of both concepts. YOU are the one who should think more and, most of all, READ some more.

[IVIEWME]

@zagro2000 A childish understanding of these concepts is all that's required, because they are essentially childish. I can't wait for you to explain how really, they're awfully sophisticated. Good luck.

[Skeptic423]

"science has been proven wrong time and time again"

Science hasn't been proven wrong,it's a matter of trial and error.That's of course what makes it so reliable because scientists are willing to admit they made a mistake in order to find the truth.

By the way how did science say the world was flat?I think it was science that of course led man to find that the world isn't flat nor the center of everything,unlike most holy books will tell you.

[BrotherOfTheSon]

They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

[Oceanus57]

What a desperate little man you are.

I feel so sorry for you. What a miserable, pointless, waste of a life, to spend it muttering ancient lies to yourself.

It's understandable that the longer you wallow in your denial, the harder it will be to escape, and the more disappointing it will be to have to admit that your life has been based on the deluded pontifications of human beings who never saw a light bulb or understood what the true nature of the sun and stars were.

You're so sad.

[BrotherOfTheSon]

I have read the book, The God Delusion, and found it to be very inspirational.The "greatest " atheist presents such poorly reasoned arguments against the God of the Bible and if this is the best articulated argument for atheism then as a Christian, I am filled with confidence. I have spoke to many atheists and they all have one attribute in common - when their argument is properly challenged it comes as no suprise when they fall back to their last defensive position - mockery and name calling.

[Zombifaction]

@BrotherOfTheSon You both know you just doing exactly what the other says and mocking each other. You both say that you feel sorry for the other because they are following the wrong thing and that no matter what the others argument always comes to name calling. If you want to debate, debate but don't just claim things on both sides. If you plan to debat use proof not "all the religious people/ athiests I know" argument. Sight how Dawkins is wrong and desperate. This video is an argument already

[BrotherOfTheSon]

You cannot get me to cower in fear while you boast at yourself and mock the scriptures. I am more than equipped to stand firm knowing that if The God Delusion is the best atheism has to offer, I have little to fear. Intimidation is a powerful strategy you use to bring most people into submission. False teachers in religious circles use strategies of intimidation but this applies equally for false teaching in what is labeled as non-religious. Your tactic is as old as the hills (+/-10,000 yrs)

[BrotherOfTheSon]

Your mockings and ridicule are so ineffective. What do you do for a living - are you some timeshare salesman? You act like one - all the characteristics are there. If i question your "facts" you mock and intimidate me and yet all the time you refuse to truthfully examine the facts.

You sir, are a fraud.

[BrotherOfTheSon]

You are not aware, but you are a religious person. You worship at the altar of pride. The trouble is, pride blinds a man so he cannot see what is so clearly in front of him. Atheism is also a religion. Instead of evangelising me to convert to atheism, as Dawkins tries to do, you come in and insult and mock me believing I will be "shocked out of" my christian "state" and be converted to your beliefs. If you are a salesman, you are an extremely bad one. Im suprised anyone even listens to you.

[Oceanus57]

Once again, you accuse people of the things you are guilty of yourself.

You know deep down that there is no god, and all your various posturings are the usual desperate god-botherer nonsense.

You lie to yourself and you lie to everyone else about your "beliefs".

You have no arguments. You have no cogent, reasoned propositions.

All you have is a lousy old book written by people who'd be terrified to see a picture on a tv or a plane fly overhead.

You're nothing.

You lose.

[BrotherOfTheSon]

I am not here to simply have an argument. I simply found that your video is factually incorrect and I pointed it out. As a man puffed up in pride by your self-knowledge find it inconceivable that you could be wrong. An honest man would at least hear the other party out and consider if what they say could be true as I have you but you reject anything a christian has to say out of hand. At no point have you even bothered to debate this issue.

You may say I lose but you sir, are lost.

[Oceanus57]

Nothing about this video is factually incorrect.

You lose, and you are the one that is lost, tangled up as you are in the absurd confection of 2000 years worth of cowardly lies told day after day until the weak and the sad come to imagine them to be true.

I love the truth. The truth is beautiful, and will always triumph.

You love the lies.

You venerate the lies.

You perpetuate the lies.

You are poison.

You and your kind will always lose, because lies erode the human spirit.

[saynman89]

Shame about the lack of audio, otherwise an excellent video.

[Oceanus57]

Strangely the audio is now working - a happy by product of youtube's new format.

[PrettyNormalWeirdo]

wtf i want to hear the audio! can you email the vid to me?

[ramette99]

what a shame the audio has been removed :(

[GodKillerAtheist]

err is it the audio codec or the song that is copyrighted?

[Brewhahh]

they cut the audio quick as fuck on this upload.

[SuperFlyNB]

Want to offer you a little advice. Next time you upload a video with a music soundtrack, set it to private to see if the audio gets scrubbed. If it does then you can delete it without having anyone see it except you and overlay a new audio track then reupload. There are also great websites for copyright free music as well. I will leave some links to the side of my channel if you want t o take a look.

[snoggerforce76]

new soundtrack, plox

[taliajazel]

god damn

[MotionFur]
