The Atheist Review

[Zain844]

You drank 12 year old scotch for a youtube video? I would think you would save something that old for a special occasion.

[MelleB90]

Can you really separate the perfect person of Jesus Christ from the rest of the bible and the entire religion?

It's a beautiful and noble idea, such a savior to function as a guiding light in your life, but without separating it from the entire religion, Christianity seems like a tedious and impairing burden.

[agnostaxian]

Although I disagree with them, I love utube atheists. They have some funny stuff in their counter arguments to Christianity.

[Hustada]

Of course they are funny, because in the end, when backed against a wall, they typically have to resort to throwing logic out the window in order to present an argument. That or insults. One or the other.

[agnostaxian]

Hus, yah, for the atheist many times it comes down to any port in the rational storm.

[SnApLiTs]

Well that was kind of one huge backhanded compliment to those 3 users. I really thought, oh wow, Brock is being kind of not so preachy and self-obsessed today. But, then I woke up and realized that would be asking too much. I've never actually one of these tag videos as a platform to preach at people.

Also, did you actually put ice (a lot of ice) in a 12 year old scotch?

[worldsworstjukebox]

Don't worry; the ice cubes were made from holy water.

[TheAtheistAntidote]

not a problem when you drink it fast brother.

[SnApLiTs]

haha...touche. I don't know, I've just always thought it should be neat I guess.

I'm a girl though.

[breedofthe45]

well dude,i have to say your videos are good,one of the reasons i reply to your comment section is to bring one of the most dishonest and ironic atheist behavior in my opinion,i know atheists thinks we are crazy cause we belive in an invisible daddy in the sky,what i find ironic is they belive their distant relatives or so called family members are in the zoo hanging on trees,like lucy who looks like road kill,for me thats ironic! anyway,keep the great work man.

god bless.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Well, Its not really ironic.

I will point out the fact that humans didnt evolve from any current primates. And evolution makes a lot of sense if you spend some time looking at it.

Whereas Christianity say that God cast a magical spell and created everything. Thats why most scientifically minded people have a lot of trouble even considering creation.

[Hustada]

Ive spent a lot of time looking at and it still doesnt work. Only those with no other place to turn will accept it because it certainly isnt very sturdy when actual SCIENCE is used to test it. Also, I never claimed that humans evolved from current primates. That doesnt even make sense. A "common" ancestor would be more appropriate.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

I cant find my comment,  so I assume you are talking about evolution?

In which case, evolution is probably the most well supported theory in all of biology. It isnt called a unifying theory for nothing. Just go ask how many biologists(actual scientists) dont accept evolution. I am tired of armchair scientists claiming that science doesnt support evolution. Obviously you/they are misinformed.

[Hustada]

No its not and IT IS possible to disagree with it and NOT be a biologist. It IS possible to have a basic or even advanced understanding of something and not actually hold a degree in that area of study. Its easy to call BS on something that supposedly has "mountains of evidence" yet fails to actually show any. The theory doesnt "unify" anything. And there are plenty of those with the proper credentials who disagree and doubt the theory. Have "numbers" on your side doesnt = being right. Thank God

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Bullshit.

[thevikingmonkey]

DUURRRR THE MAGIC MAN IN THE SKY CAME DOWN IN A VIRGIN'S VAJOO AND AND DIED AND CAMEBACK AS A ZOMBIE AND THEN HE'S WATCHING ME 2000 YEARS LATER HUUURRR

yeah ridiculous isn't it?

[thevikingmonkey]

YOU IDIOT! GOD DOES NOT EXIST!

[Hustada]

"YOU IDIOT! GOD DOES NOT EXIST!"

Thanks for that vikingmonkey. Youve converted me.

[GoatSkinner666]

Christians are retarded

[ChristianIce]

Thunderf00t and edward current, that's something to watch.

All the atheist experience episodes as well

[lotusespritguy]

Mmmm, just stopping by for some great tasting venom

[infectingthecrypts]

Those are just the odds of an organism appearing in the form of the simplest KNOWN organism. "you can lead an atheist to science, but you can't make him think." really? cuz there have been plenty of people that have refuted the christian god, yet you still have "faith" (read: you have no real thoughts, only those placed there). And I admit there may be a "higher power", but that doesn't mean there is a "god."

[infectingthecrypts]

Christianity cheapens human life more than anything else. We are just sinners not worthy of anything good and any joy we do have comes by the grace of god. Please tell me how that says we are worth anything, in fact tell me how it says we are even worth nothing. By the sound of it, we're less than nothing.

[riotguards]

btw a majority of killings are made by religious foke due to the factor that they believe that they get told to go kill someone or do ect because god say so

take for instance holy wars, nazis, jehads(muslin i think) ect,ect,ect,ect,ect,ect

[riotguards]

at first you started off good then you did your useuall bull and started blabering on about how atheism is wrong, ect

and what makes you think atheism is basicly driven by emotions most atheist come to the conclution that because evidence shows that there is no god

[cheeekamoomoo]

You crack me up, Brock.

In a good way!! Woo!!

[apericubes]

lol at the casual scotch

[leostomicek]

Russia today is not at all godless. There are new churches built and a lot of people are baptised. There are a lot of people remaining who need God however...

[clutterfish]

@leostomicek no one really needs god. any god. at all. ever. the human race will never progress to it's full potential if we accept the teet of some imaginary comfort blanket every time a cold wind blows up our trousers.

[leostomicek]

Well I have direct experience with people who wanted man to progress to his full potential. They were called Communists...

I do not share your naive optimism... :-))

[clutterfish]

and i do not share your jaded cynicism. there are a great many paths for humankind to achieve it's best. communism is certainly not one of them. religion is in the same category of ultimately destructive dogmas. communism inherently suppresses natural human instincts and tendencies, short circuits our ingenuity and desire. religion does the exact same thing. i am optimistic because for the first time in human history, science has offered a real solution to a great deal of human suffering.

[notbill9465]

"and i do not share your jaded cynicism."

Was this directed at me because I don't think I said anything like this?

I do agree with your statements of what religion turns government systems into. Religion led to Monarchies, which in turn, can very easily lead to a totalitarianism.

[leostomicek]

I do not mind science per se, but reliance on science leads to problems. I am no luditte but I am a little sceptical to the possibilities of science.

[Khronofox]

@leostomicek

Lol, I hear ya. What's science really done when you think about it? Our abundant food supply, the energy that powers our computers, vanquished diseases are all the product of putting our hands together and believing really REALLY hard.

[leostomicek]

Science did not vanquish all diseases and the energy supply here in Britain is dwindling, people in some parts of the world are still hungry. So, you see I don't mind science as there can be more of it. But I know human limits

[Khronofox]

@leostomicek

I never said "all" diseases. However, the diseases that have been vanquished, and will be in the near future, are thanks to scientific research. Perhaps your energy supply is "dwindling", but the fact that you can use that little miracle of science known as a computer shows me your energy isn't "dwindling" as much as it was 1000 years ago. And yes, one sixth of the world is still hungry, but you can thank science for the other five sixths. Science and technology are the future.

[leostomicek]

No doubt they are and I welcome that.

[Khronofox]

@leostomicek

I understand what you mean by human limits, I think. As a species, we may have the ABILITY to feed and provide energy to everyone but human nature can set back progress. Things like greed, corruption, and general incompetence are responsible for our inefficient infrastructure and inability to extend the fruits of technology to all people on Earth.

[scscruzer]

Your Science explains the material. The Bible explains the heart.

[Hustada]

@scscruzer. I get what you are saying but its our science to. Science does not belong to atheists as much as they might try to convince you of it. Dont give it to them. See Isaac Newton and just about every major historical scientists and branch of science for examples of the belief of God and its influence on science.

[chaoszieg]

No one claims science belongs to atheists or any religion, science belongs to humans. The difference is religions will ignore, lie about, and try to cover up science when it shows their beliefs to be wrong.

[Khronofox]

@scscruzer

"My Science"? It's yours too, you're enjoying the fruits of it as you read my comment.

And care to elaborate on what exactly the bible explains -about- the heart? I've read the Bible front to back and I can easily get more info on what makes people tick using Google.

[Hustada]

So you are good at finding random articles on google. Thats great. Your forgetting that much of what theology says and what God says about the human heart and himself is derived from the bible and works inspired by the Bible which then found their way on the internet eventually. Regardless, just because you can find another opinion doesnt mean that opinion or viewpoint is somehow "better".

[leostomicek]

Besides the secular ideology of Communism is a way of providing meaning to the Godless world. I'd rather believe in "imaginary" Jesus and Paradise outside this world rather than believe that I can create Paradise here on Earth. Call it jaded cynicism if you wish and perhaps call it excapist way of thinking. I welcome science, but I do not think that I can transform this world and people in it through science so that I might be optimistic about the outcome.

[Greafgriet]

watch?v=p_ZuNf6j-M8

Want to see the AtheistAntidote at 50 years old?

[breekbot]

You talk more than you think and

you are utterly clueless!!!

[notbill9465]

Your whole argument here is ridiculous, from beginning to end. Fine tuning is something someone made up because it can only be induced and has no rational conclusion at all. If you say the "conclusion" is god, well then we're done, because that's what I'm talking about, god cannot rationally exist, the idea exists only in the mind.

How could you ever show one example of how something could be tuned? The simplest answer is usually the right one. If the universe wasn't this way, we wouldn't be.

[clutterfish]

we could very well be the same if a number of fundamentals in the universe were different or absent. we could shift gravity by a pretty wide margin and get rid of the weak nuclear force altogether and it wouldn't change the function of the universe enough to make it any more inhospitable to humanity. besides, the incredibly minute percentage of the universe that is habitable by humankind is so tiny that it rules out the idea of this place being fine tuned for us. that's pure solipsism.

[chaoszieg]

The possibility of the universe ending up "fine tuned" for life was exactly the same as the possibility of it not being tuned for life. It's like flipping a coin, and just happening to get heads.

[notbill9465]

I don't even know why the comment I made is to this video. I thought I directed at another video.

[DaggersPlunge]

Oh yes, because the belief that an omniscient being whom was simply THERE is logically in tact. I recall you rambling about how their NEEDS to be a cause. Yet you fail to divulge into the cause of this god. The big bang theory (as it where) seems a bit more stable then an all powerful and divine being was just there and created this complex known as everything. You talk of how atheism is incorrect, but can you prove the theory of a God? All I see is gaping holes.

[notbill9465]

I agree with you, you can turn godlessness into a religion, which would be teaching a philosophical doctrine. Which, even if it taught atheism, I wouldn't want theism taught either. Atheism is a conclusion you can come to based on theism which can be presented to you.

I think having people come to their own philosophies on life (with or without the influence of a God) is more important than teaching one. Teaching "philosophy" is not the same as teaching "A philosophy".

[TruthasICit]

Thanks Brock. All are now subbed.

[lotusespritguy]

You are the coolest cat on Youtube

I love this guy

They hate because they fear

They fear because they hate

Brock is blowing up!

[SpiritKeeper]

hmm, i still think

food porn > godless goodies

yay food porn

[thegoodjohn]

what's he ruining that scotch with ice for?

[MrsVENOMFANGX]

not all athiests are evil. my next door naughbours an athiest and he is very friendly. i hope he will be saved.

[chaoszieg]

I do say, he has been saved.

Not all Christians are evil. My boss is a Christian and is very friendly. I hope he will be saved.

[TheAtheistAntidote]

I agree with you

[IAmTheScum13]

I demand a recount!

[blueleadpot]

TheAtheistAntidote, you have nothing to teach anyone. Religion is myth taken too seriously. PEACE OUT HOMEY!

[seekerofgod7777777]

The common thread in atheism is that they will construct any apparatus in their power that gives them the easiest out.

They Pretend that truth can be derived from data, the natural is the only explanation permissible to explain the Supernatural and that final and Ultimate truth must be readily evident to everyone on a as per needed basis and yet Individually centered or focused.

Tough Gig That.

[SongOfThunder]

Okay Brock.

It seems you suggest that people have misconceptions about Christianity which lead to their lack of belief in Christianity.

Why not make a video (series) exploring the true attributes of Christianity and refuting the "cardboard" cutout attributes of Christianity? Maybe you'll win some people over.

[TheInsaneBastard]

Hmm...that's an interesting idea. Brock, why don't you do something like that? I think it would be interesting.

5 stars, mate

[TheAtheistAntidote]

deal -- I will do just that!

[SongOfThunder]

I look forward to it.

[TheFluffyDuck]

I sens a no true scotsman logical fallacy in the works:)

[Espinozaize]

I really dislike your outtro:" Take it to the bank"...that makes no sense. It sucks. What about making your closing statement:" & you better belive it!". You know because of the christian & faith theme you got going here. Other than that I completely disagree with you. But I gotta say: You make the best creationst videos I have seen. Your like a religious RayWilliamJohnson

[chaoszieg]

Ah, end with preaching. Sorry, but I dont judge Jesus by his followers, I judge him by him, and while he did have many good things to say and teach, he also had many immoral and dubious things to say.

[Hustada]

"he also had many immoral and dubious things to say"

Immoral by what standard?

[chaoszieg]

by the standards by which we all live, which are not christian standards

[Hustada]

"by the standards by which we all live, which are not christian standards"

Yeah, i understand that you think that chaos but what standards are you using to measure Christ's morality? What standards, in other words, do we live by, and why are they our standards. That was my question. On top of that question, what exactly did Jesus do specifly, according the standards that we ALL live by, that was immoral?

Thanks

[chaoszieg]

It's a tired old question that you Christians seem to offer over and over despite how often it fails. Is the question of morality the best argument you have for god?

Human solidarity is where we get our standards from, simple as that.

Perhaps to make it simpler, what's best for ourselves and for our species. Our standards our what's best for us, and what's best for our race, and I dont think I need to explain why we adopt what's best for us as a standard.

[Hustada]

"Perhaps to make it simpler, what's best for ourselves and for our species"

What is that? There are lots of different groups who have drastically different ideas about "whats best". A vague definition doesnt end the discussion. Im asking by what standard. You condemn christ for being immoral when he is simply stating what he feels is the BEST for society and humans in general. I would specifically like to what exactly it was that Christ did that was immoral and why according to you.

[chaoszieg]

What you feel is best is not always what IS best.

I have given this as an example before, and I will again, thought crime, for starters, as well as eternal punishment.

To claim just thinking of something is as bad as doing it is a lie, and I dont think I need to prove that fact to anyone who is moral.

Also eternal punishment for thoughts and beliefs, over deeds and actions, and a persons character. By Jesus's words Hitler can get into heaven by saying he loves Jesus but Mother Teresa will not

[Hustada]

I totally agree unless that person is God who created morals in the first place and is the only one with the right to state such absolutes. Anything underneath that really only amounts to opinion. You can spout off about the evolutionary advantages of certain morals on society and such but the just begs the question with the HOW they are that way and what definite standard amongst ALL people makes them absolute as there are always groups who would disagree.

[chaoszieg]

Simply because she couldn't believe.

So yes, you want immoral, that sums it up. Telling honest, loving, hard working people that spend their entire lives serving others that they deserve to suffer forever simply because they don't believe in Jesus is immoral

[chaoszieg]

As for Jesus, I'll have to go with thought crime. The very idea that thinking about something is as bad as doing it destroys all arguments for self control. If we punished everyone for what they think as Jesus says god does, 100% of people would be in prison right now.

If I think about raping a girl, we can agree that's bad, but I hope we also agree it would be infinitely worse if I actually did it.

[clutterfish]

@chaoszieg exactly right. on the flip side, should we be given credit for the positive things we think, even though we don't make the thoughts real with action? if i think of starting a non-profit company to aid in establishing sustainable local water supply for thirsty regions of africa and asia, should i be given a nobel prize for it? if i think about giving blood to the red cross, but don't do it, should i be given a pat on the back? fuck no. it's only what we do that really matters.

[clutterfish]

@Hustada preaching the idea that we are all inherently evil is pretty fucking immoral. and yes disseminating the idea that all people are sinners, hence evil by nature, is teaching that we are all inherently evil. that's quite possibly the biggest bunch of bullshit in the history of bovine assholes.

[Hustada]

"preaching the idae that we are all inherently evil is pretty fucking immoral"

LOL, not if its true. See last 100 years for an example of our inherently "good" nature. Also, you must be completely ignoring Christ's command to put OTHERS ahead of oneself. That loving others and giving to the poor is akin to giving to Christ. Hardly immoral. At least by Christian standards. I dont know what you derive the concept from. You "freethinkers" are amazing. Such irrefutable logic.

[doireallyneed1]

@Hustada,

When you wrote "...see the last 100 years for an example of our inherently 'good' nature," what group are you refering to? Is it secular "Atheists" or just people in general (meaning human nature)? Or is it some other group?

[Hustada]

@ doireallyneed1

Im referring the human nature of sin such as described in the bible. Its apparent whenever you read a history book. To call humanity inherently good is to either be completely ignorant of history, have a different definition of what "good" is, OR you somehow believe that after man is born "good" he somehow finds away after birth to completely reverse that nature throughout life.

[Khronofox]

@Hustada

You're right. The Bible totally has the moral high ground. Lets all just forget about that genocide, rape, and slavery in the name of your God in the old testament. Find a nice rug to sweep that all under and we'll call it a victory for Christ! :D

[Hustada]

@Khronofox

Its not swept under the rug, youve just failed to look for any reason or explanations that have been given by theologians, apologists over the last hundred years as to why those things occured, had to occur, and the context in which with they were done. Your accusation though is somewhat ironic as it contains a moral absolute with which to condemn an all powerful God who you dont even believe in. Pick a side here, otherwise dont play.

[Khronofox]

@Hustada

I'm not interested in "reasons" or "explanations" given by apologists as to why an all powerful god would deem murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24 NLT) necessary, there is no excuse for that or any of the other similar atrocities done in the name of your god. Infact, I'm slightly disturbed that there COULD be situations where such actions were condoned by ANYONE. And you're right about those moral absolutes, I'd never condone rape or genocide.

[Hustada]

But youre totally fine with the belief that our origins consist of life deriving itself from millions of years of disease and death, survival of the fittest? Death is the very thing that forms our existence as it is, and yet you have a moral issue with it. Why borrow from such odd, extremely unnatural moral rules to condemn a God you dont even believe in? Regardless, you argument is one of emotion and simply because something makes you feel bad or angry does not equate to nonexistence.

[Hustada]

Evolutionary advantageous?

How so? If one was capable of wiping all of those who disagreed with him thus benefiting his survival, convinced others of his beliefs thus silencing any opposition would you still think what he did was wrong? Why? If it benefits him and those he cares for, why would it be wrong? Your moral authority is based on a "evolutionary advantage" and yet you are condemning GOD. God isnt even part of the evolutionary tree, lol. Wheres the wrong? And why?

[Hustada]

"Im not interested in "reasons" or "explanations".

This speaks to the very heart of the matter. You have no wish to even begin to understand. Dont start condemning things and telling people they are morally wrong for their beliefs until you are willing to actually ATTEMPT to understand them or hear valid arguments in their favor. You make is seem as if you are the first person to ask this sort of question or something. You think us theists havent thought about questions like yours as well?

[Khronofox]

@Hustada

Way to quote me out of context. I'm still waiting for you to give me a situation in which genocide is an acceptable solution. I'm all ears, and open to learn. Please, humor me.

[Hustada]

I didnt quote you out of context. If I did, then Im sorry. Your argument is based on pure emotion in that because you think God is evil in his actions then he doesnt exist. Its an illogical conclusion to make. Thats the assumption. If you postulate a God then you must be willing and open to the explanations given by that God. You must also understand that the creator of life is also the only one who would truly have authority to take it.

[Khronofox]

@Hustada

Words like "evil", "wicked"? I haven't used either of them, that's all you. My argument is based on what's good for the species. Murder and genocide are not good for man kind. I'm not making any conclusions about your god being "evil", but rather the god character in your story book you hold in such high regard. You know, it IS possible to analyze the Bible without putting faith in it. So are you going to make an actual response to my point or go on about how "emotional" I am?

[Hustada]

Your assuming, that things SHOULD be a certain way based on whats GOOD for the species. You dont HAVE that right and you certainly havent proven your argument. There are those in history who would argue that population control and removal of "harmful" genetic traits would certainly be beneficial for the species in terms of physical survival. So, you arent using words like "wicked" or "evil". So if those words dont have any meaning here, what then, is your argument against God's command?

[Hustada]

Jeremiah 18:8 states, If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

Whats ironic is that you seem to have no issues with how wicked these societies were. Where are innocent babies better off? In the hands of a God who loves them or in the hands of a society that sacrifices children and performs a plethora of abhorrent acts on their own peope? God gives time for repentance but there is a point where its over.

[armrpeercing]

Actually, God did not command that, the men there did....and it's written that "every man did what was right in his own eyes." Like other misguided people who don't know the Lord. Please think a bit about what the text is saying before you spout. And the judgement for people who had sex with animals, sacrificed their own children to idols, and blasphemed was severe under the law. It is meant to tell YOU something about your sin.....please get saved.

[Khronofox]

@armrpeercing

"Please think a bit about what the text is saying". Lol. How about you actually read your "holy" book with a rational mind, and put down the bible glasses.

"They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men."  Num 31:7

"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." Deut 17:12

God is love, amirite?

[chaoszieg]

Bewarethelizards is cute XD

[rednecktrucker1969]

I can see why you did not pick me....lol, go for the one you might think are weak. good call there. :)

[lordjashis]

Jesus deserves an opportunity, like any other historic or popular celebrity... but that's it.

Your videos are entertaining until you start preaching!

[TheFluffyDuck]

I couldnt think of a religion that could be more wrong with the findings of science in nature than christainity.

Hinduism is the closest one to the length of time of the universe and can also be tied to the bigbang/crunch hypothisis.

But christianity with its 7 day creation, life popping into existence, world wide flood, no evolution. World only 6000 years old etc......

You cant even get reality right and we have to take your word for it theres a next life?

[jordler]

you mean the jews that where all this bs comes from .

[TheFluffyDuck]

Any of the three great desert dogmas. They all originated from ancient hebrew which before that was Babylonian. The Elohim and all that etc......

Sorry but the universe is old. We have evidence. Life evolved get over it. No evidence of a world wide flood. I know I'm a geologist.

They get all that shit wrong, which is in our own REAL universe. So how am I meant to trust them about angles, demons, Heaven/Hell, a soul etc???

[peilthetraveler]

@TheFluffyDuck "But christianity with its 7 day creation, life popping into existence, world wide flood, no evolution. World only 6000 years old etc......"

Versus Sciences big bang where everything that exists exploded into and filled the universe in 1 quintillionth of a second. (probably shorter time than that as i dont know what 10 to the -37 power is exactly.)

It amazes me that atheists cant believe the earth was created in 7 days, but they can believe the universe was created in 1

[TheFluffyDuck]

One word "Evidence", there is evidence for the big bang, There is no evidence for a 7 day creation. The big bang was only a rapid expansion of space/time, not a "creation".

The bible Sums up the entire the universe with its Myriad of galaxies, pulsars, balckholes, exoplanets, and hypergiants as "the heavens", then spends the next 5 days on one speck of dust around an average star? Come on.

That screams the writers of the bible had no idea of the scale of the world they lived in.

[MTCstrength33]

completely wrong accusations. Love to dialogue if interested.

[TheFluffyDuck]

Which part? I would love a dialogue too.

[EnervatedSociety]

Finally Brock! Something I can respect you for, your love of music. With all your rhetoric, that totally got lost on me. I don't agree with anything you have to say so far but as one musician to the other, Respect!

Littletruckingbozo would be my go to christian.

[gothatfunk]

great video Brock. when you big up your faith i never object. it sure beats bashing atheism!

3 of my fav people to watch. fab choices.

[GoldenWeeks1981]

There is a lot of 'self-erecting' that goes on around here

[ndjm00]

Jesus is not the evil things that were done inhis name?

So he did not commit world wide genocide with a flood? That was a lie?

[TheSpankymonkey]

Since when did delusion constitute a world view Brock? Or is it a world view of whatever world you are in at any particular moment? Do you have talking rabbits in your world? I only ask because you have talking snakes and such. Maybe you have a talking rabbit too? Maybe he's late?

[Ilikenuman]

w00t. nice piano work at the end. I would suggest, Littletruckingbozo, NightVisionPhanton and Stonedcommander.

Theyre very interesting christians with alot to say

[thereprieve]

Hands down 3 of my favorite YT atheists too. Great video. and your message about Christ at the end, that was your best yet. You are truely a Spirit led individual.

God bless amigo.

[Toledosteal]

I like BTL and FT but I have not seen deryk35 before. I'll have to check him out.

[ThePunkReturns]

Good video, but I do have to point one thing out. You speak of atheists building up a concept of Christ, and then shadowboxing with that. How, if this is true, is it any different from what you do on every video? You conflate secularism, atheism and secular humanism into this beastly hybrid ready to send all of mankind to hell after devouring it and turning it wicked. To you, atheism is this thing that a.) is a religion and b.)is intent on wicked things like rape murder etc.

[Widgetas]

Hehe - emotionally driven, rather than rationally. You bet they were shaking their heads!

ps - Why has Christian Bale playing the piano at the end?

[AuntieDiluvian]

No stars for you because you didn't mention me, Joke: 5 stars for being magnanamous.

[ElProximo]

Yeah but I'm giving you 5stars just for having my new favourite screen-name 'Auntie-Diluvian' hurrah!

[bewarethelizards42]

I enjoyed this a lot Brock, you made me laugh with the little impressions.. and the brief British accent.

You know and I know, that I'm going to disagree with you on the points about Jesus. But maybe I'll save the rest of my comments for a video sometime.. ;)

[zarkoff45]

"maybe I'll save the rest of my comments for a video sometime.. ;) "

And maybe Brock will listen and respond in stead of ignoring you.

[Cwill19]

Even when praising people you still manage to be insulting, is that just part of the act or is that how you actually feel? Either way you come off as a bit of a tool. No intentional offense, just some constructive criticism.

[Tyrtamus]

I'm gonna be honest with you, Brock. Most of the time your videos have me facepalming near to the point of concussion.

when what you should do is punch him in the face for his backhanded comments...

w/e...

[1140Cecile]

Brock, you picked some really good people who come from an atheist perspective to recommend to your viewers. For this, I give you high marks.

But, in keeping with your respect for these individuals, it would be very nice if you would actually respond to the points that they make. And when I say respond, I mean first of all showing that you "understand" what they're saying and then, secondly, refuting what they're saying in a rational manner...a respectful, intelligent and logical dialogue.

[themanofearth]

Amazing...

No blatent propaganda for a change...

Oh wait...

The "Knowing Jesus personally stuff..."

What the... Where the hell are my sweeping generalizations?!

Faith is the unwaivered belief that there is a God. It's also the unwaivered belief that their is none. Respect is something that you must earn before you can push an unwaivered belief onto someone else.

[abstracht]

in general usage, 'god' does not refer to an actual concept and therefore to a certainty does not refer to anything that exists.

just my judgment.

maybe ask yourself this: what is 'god', if it exists? is "he" a spirit? what is a spirit? a mind, but no brain? what is the mind like? does it think verbal strings of thought? remember? see? from every angle and time frame in every spectrum? get angry? what does that mean? is he agitated? happy at the same time? etc. what is 'god'?

[HonestDiscussioner]

I recommend theists on my channel all the time. Not a week goes by I don't drop UNFFWildcard's name. I mention others often as well.

[Cypherus21]

In before atheist vote spam.

[ebaltrace]

The Jesus story is from anonymous gospels written years after the events they report by persons who were not eye witnesses. The Apostle Paul was a scoundrel who was guilty of "felony murder" in the death of Stephen. Claiming to be a Jew he torn down the pillars of the LAW, the SABBATH, and CIRCUMCISION which were to be forever.

An examination of ALL the supposed fulfillments of prophecy are bogus. The resurrection evidence is very weak. A missing corpse and Jesus ONLY appeared to his gang. Ebal

[BenjaminPaulWoodham]

um... no. Paul didn't kill Stephen for one. It was completed, not written years after, and Peter wrote a book in the bible and he was an apostle. I pity you.

[ebaltrace]

Paul acted in concert with others who actually stoned Stephen. That is "felony murder."

Acts 22:20 ""'And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was being shed, I also was standing by approving, and watching out for the coats of those who were slaying him""

Matt 28:15 ""this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day."" This phrase reveals that the gosels were written years later.

There is overwhelming evidence that Peter's letters were written years after Peter died.

Ebal

[BenjaminPaulWoodham]

Acts 22:20, hmm, that's pretty convincing, but if we look to the King James version the real meaning becomes clear. "And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting to his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him." Consenting here is used more like he was okay with with it because it was all a part of God's plan. Rainment means clothing, used to prove who killed Stephen to the other Christians. Matt 28:14, no it doesn't say anything about years

[ebaltrace]

Come on Ben open your eyes. Acts 22;4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and putting both men and women into prisons,

Paul makes claims for which he has no witnessses.

The synoptic gospels all mention the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. How can books which supposedly report the most important event in human history be written more than 35 years after the fact?

Ebal the Atheist

[mtcanz]

Paul would agree with you as he wrote that in him "no good thing dwelt" and that he was "chief of sinners". Jesus' standard for murder was unrighteous anger toward another. By that, I'm sure we are all guilty.

Paul wasn't a great apostle because of who he was, but rather because who Yeshua was in him. Galatians 2:20 he writes, "For I am crucified with Messiah, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Messiah lives in me, and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God."

[mtcanz]

Actually, the law was not originally intended to be forever. Initially, there was only one "law". It's only as man gets further from his original state that God institutes more rules -- most notably the commandments. Now we have gazillions of laws, which gives us an indication of where we are.

The law is an incomplete picture of God's righteousness-- meant to reveal man's sinfulness.

[mtcanz]

(part III) and I believe you've left out the greatest evidences for the Abrahamic God and for Yeshua as Messiah; 1, the mere existence of the Jewish people. No other country and people have been so thoroughly scattered - to the point of their language dying - only to be 'resurrected' 1800 years later out of a desolate land.

And 2, the explosion of this Jewish sect called Christianity in the first century under incredible persecution leading to martyrdom.

[Wolfau5]

I feel it important to 5 star your videos that are "ok" (ie not full of complete bull) to point out that we don't 1 star your videos because we hate you, we 1 star them because you're full of shit!

as such... 5 stars!

You can't really "defend" the agnostic world view, because there's nothing to defend, it makes no positive assertions its just... "there could be, i dunno".

The only two I can stand are Jezuzfreek777 and thereprieve.

[TheUnmaskedMagician]

5 stars!!!

[RighteousPaladin]

I think this may be the only one of your videos that isn't given the atheist votebot treatment.

[V1RU5ex3]

Just wait for it RighteousPaladin. It will come.

No atheist can resist mindlessly spazzing out at any given chance they have.

[1140Cecile]

What atheist votebot treatment? Please name a theist who has been votebotted.

[ShaggyTheClown17]

1140cecile, I was voteboted a couple times, but luckily it was only a couple, not that I care at all about ratings, my vieos aren't even about the same subject.

[1140Cecile]

If that's the case, I stand corrected. I just don't see any value whatsoever in votebotting a theist. I have yet to see a theist argument that cannot be dealt with through dialogue. If anything, most theist videos, by themselves, are blatant examples of religious folly and actually openly display the points many atheists make regarding religious dogmatism. It would, therefore, be counter-productive to votebot a theist's videos.

But, I'm sure there's a few ignorant votebot atheists out there.

[ShaggyTheClown17]

Well that may be your understanding on that matter, mine however, people who votebot, atheist votebots, they feel threatened by people who make good points and they don't want to believe they are even capable of having a point, they've locked themselves into one moe of thinking and basicly one thing goes into one ear and comes out the other or at least thats what they want, so when I see atheist votebots I feel pretty good because evidently theyre not so comfortable in their denialism anymore.

[ShaggyTheClown17]

Also I could say the exact same about atheist people's videos so your backhanded insult doesn't work.

If you have yet to see a good "theist" argument maybe you should look harder or maybe change your idea of good meaning listen to things other than what approves of your own beliefs.

[Rithrandil]

I liked this video. I laughed a few times, too. Five stars.

I suppose I should probably give some sort of token opposition or snarky comment to keep up appearances, so, to quote the Simpsons: "Hey, jerkface! You have the face of a jerk!" :P

[seekerofgod7777777]

Yes, What B said :D

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

You just earned your first 5 star rating from me. While I don't entirely agree with the theology, congratulations for the humanity.

[2222554]

Good job Brock...

Please let us know in a future video who the three Christians were that were chosen if you can...

God Bless You & Yours Friend

[justchemicalz]

Love Mr freethink....guy makes me laugh.

Nice, vid.

[redbaron998]

Good vid, nice to see that we can be respectful and appreciative of each other.

We are all looking for the truth here, and we can all respect each other on the way.

Namaste
