@pstmdrn and yet you haven't disproved his ideas. Instead of wasting your time applying boring, overused labels to a man, discuss his ideas and why they are or are not valid, then maybe someone will learn something.
maybe you should get out more and hear more concepts of God, because the christian misconception of God is the only one... He gives logical arguments why Christianity is bad and then stops using logic and says I don't believe in God
Jacque simply states the truth, in a non bias, logical way, and it creates this type of discussion. The only discussion that you ignorants should have...is how I have been so stupid and believe anything but what he just said...shouldn't even need him to say it. There is no god. Stop being downright blind. Look at the world around you and work for something better. We shouldn't still live in a stagnant cesspool.
Thats not religion . . . thats christianity . . . theres a difference . . . whats the point of complaining about something, when you don't know jack-shit about it? . . .
@Tronnixx You fucking idiot . . . he is critisizing christianity . . . but he thinks he is critisizing religion . . . there is a difference in religion as a whole . . . and the christianity . . . don't insult people if you can't think a bit more . . .
@ jesusistheway144 your so obsessed with Google proving your point when those ppl who wrote that article have just as much control over your thoughts about the subject as those who wrote the bible. Google "googlism" that seems like a better for a man who seems to be more of an evangelist for Google ahaha
@HarleyForMayor ... Checkout joelrosenbergdotcom and watch the DVD called Epicenter. Joel Roseberg is a Bible believing Christian he does a great job explaining events from the Bible for people who don't read the Bible much. I do read the Bible, and would cite scripture here, but guessing that many readers here don't read the Bible. So, for their sake, I suggest a Google search on topics. But even better -- read Ezekiekl 38 in the Bible. A prophecy about Israel in the last days.
This guy makes a few obvious points, is given extra credence because of his leathery skin and background music, probably did a huge amount of drugs back in the day.
Religion is following a code of ethics, having beliefs. You can be an atheist and have a religion. Religion was never the problem, almost all religions share the common virtues. But it is us, the people, that steer it for our own benefits. Even Jacque Fresco's ultimate vision of how humans should live can still be corrupted.
"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room (or closet.) and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret..." (Matthew 6:5-6 RSV).
The only thing that is more stupid than blindly believing in a religion is trying to make logic out of religion :D! No it does not make you look smart ... it makes you look stupid. It makes others understand that YOU don't understand what is religion. Religion is not logical YOU CANNOT MAKE LOGIC OUT OF SOMETHING THAT HAS NONE!
@2RayneR7 What's funny is Jesus was crucified by the religous leaders... they hated everything he stood for. Their "religion" had taken the Words of God and it became a tool for men to enforce social order. Jesus called them out on it. Then he really ticked off / scared religious leader through supernatural miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, etc. He was crucified for it. But all part of God's plan. Today, God's plan is still in motion. Some of you may be saved soon.
@JesusistheWay144 The romans wanted to destroy the scourge that was Christianity... and in time it destroyed them because they created a Martyr. Humanity needed 1000 years to come back to the level of which the Roman Empire had been before it was destroyed by Nomad tribes from Asia. The moment christianity was accepted as an official religion in the Roman Empire that is when the decline started which led to the Dark ages.
@2RayneR7 If you read the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament, Daniel makes a few well known prophecies, about the times of man that are ordained, and the different "kingdoms" that will be on earth until the end of man's self rule, when God finally judges the nations and the time of "great distress" begins, that will be far worse than the dark ages. Some Christians ignore warnings about the end times, and feel like you do. How could a loving God cause death? He hates EVIL (SIN).
@JesusistheWay144 But now ... there is good news ... He sent his Son Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and offer forvigeness for sin. He made his own Son be betrayed and crucified and absolutely ridiculed, mocked, and rejected as punishment for our SIN. At this point, it's obvious: God hates sin. He also likes to be dramatic about demonstrating that hate. God is holy. He wants his children to walk like Him, in holiness. They are rewarded. Not those who reject God.
@JesusistheWay144 SO which god is the true god? :D ! I mean come on christianity is just one of the new spawns. You know the new monotheistic religions. I get it sure the Idea of God/Gods is pretty much the same around all religions well ok maybe it aint that similar in some more distant religions. For example people that were so far from europe that christianity didn't manage to spread to them until the Renaissance and by then it was already a mix of all the other it succumbed.
@2RayneR7 Which one is the true God? Great question. So many religions. Well, let's consider that Jesus is a central figure. As evidence, in the Islamic faith and Christian faith, both believe that Jesus came in the flesh. But in the Islamic faith, they don't believe he was the son of God. In fact, they inscribed that on the side of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Islam. They write: "Jesus was not the Son of God. He was only a prophet." Today the most violence comes from Islam.
@JesusistheWay144 ... And the most world wide charity, and love, and the religion with the most missionaries across the world is Christianity. Jesus said "you will know them by their fruit". He said this to warn about people who claim to follow him vs ones who sincerely do follow him. The Bible says "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, forgiveness, faith, humilty, self-control". I definitely don't see that in Radical Islam which is spreading across the globe.
@JesusistheWay144 True true. Islam is causing most violence in the world today. Throughout Asia and Africa its quite tragic. But when we go back before the Islam and Christianity. Considering they are one of the newest religions how does that give right to Christianity or Islam to be the true religion. Of course everyone has the choice to believe in what they want but realistically you cannot say this is the right religion. Though christianity in its core is a mix of those previous religions.
@JesusistheWay144 So basically he is not a loving god but a ruling god. Meaning - U not obey u get the lash. And following that logic isn't Satan the good guy who hates SIN since he punishes the Sinful ;) Sure He might hate holy people as well as sinful people just because. I could understand that sure. Ultimate domination and Hate to all. But the idea of a LOVING god that is all powerful still leaves his son to dies and punishes people further heck i'd go for Norse Gods ;) U know the cool ones
@2RayneR7 No, he does love in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, (while, like a good father, does threaten discipline for disobedience. we, like children, need good discipline, or we can do very evil things to each other. a sad fact about humans, that God understands well. He has seen it all. Think about that, please.). How do we know he offers love? Because he let the Israelites (Old Testament) sacrifice animals to atone for sin. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is the sacrifice.
@JesusistheWay144 In no world does sacrifice and love go together in the same sentence... well maybe in some satanic and masochistic texts well or maybe sacrifice from love to save someone. But since after the time of those sacrifices things went to shit i am pretty certain those sacrifices didn't really help anyone. Considering the world started going up again at the time when Religion was no longer the main thing in the life of man. And even more so with the complete negating of it later on.
@2RayneR7 ... Keep in mind, who was God speaking to 4,000 + years ago, when he reveals himself to Abraham? (Abram). Primitive Israelites. People who lived in small groups, roamed the middle east, lived off the wilderness. God brought them to obedience, and taught them to trust him, but requiring from them something that would cost them... animals. He asked for a sacrifice. He asked them to give up something important. Doing this built FAITH, and loyalty to God. Today, we don't...
@JesusistheWay144 ... have animal sacrifice anymore. God agrees with you, it's primitive. That's why he sent his Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross... to put an end to sacrifice (as the Bible says) and to be the one atoning sacrifice for all men. His shed blood offers you and I a way to be forgiven for our sins against God and man. It's part of God's ultimate plan to save a LOT of people from death, through the gift of eternal life. It simply requires faith/love for Jesus.
@JesusistheWay144 Sure that is great and all but it is very well known that one does not have to know or believe in a certain god to reach greatness of spirit. To be good to others and help them. And still the point i am making is. Don't take it too serious. Religions have been around for many 1000s of years before the time of the Primitive ISraelites. People have worshiped whatnot for so many years in 100s of different religions. They needed that to survive because they were in hard times.
@2RayneR7 But now we are no longer in such hard times. It is time to purify ourselves from the worships believes and so on which had guided us for so long and believe in ourselves. I am not saying to be all physical. Damn this will ruin us. We must believe in higher powers but not constrain ourselves in certain religions and such. Since they had held us back for so long. And as we loosened ourselves from religions we grew as people and truly became good to each other and live better.
@2RayneR7 Religion is a joke. But Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life. Now, how can I say that? Because as I wrote before, Christ condemned religion. It is the work of man. It's man's idea of God. Now, please consider how much hate is shown to Jesus by so many people? Will many people be shocked when God causes death and destruction as warned in the Bible to occur in the last days, when God judges the nations and redeems his children? I hope you'll reconsider. With love,
@JesusistheWay144 I love to show my love by destroying my children :). Please do not say god will cause death and destruction and then say this somehow makes him good... It is very retarded to make sense out of this. I don't see many people hating Jesus but when soemone like you says that his father will cause death and destruction on humanity .. then shit i'd fucking hate him more than anything in the world... well ok maybe i'd hate god more :D! That is not a way to be loved :D
@2RayneR7 Is it know way to be loved? Who are we to question God, is what it comes down to. Living by faith, and accepting God's ways is not easy. God did not make it *easy* to believe. He has his reasons. The Word says "My ways are above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts." For people to assume that a loving God would only do things a certain way is limited. The Bible says the fear of the Lord will keep a person from sin. The whole problem with mankind is SIN.
@JesusistheWay144 God hates sin. He warns in Revelation: "I will strike your children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he that searches hearts and minds and will reward each of you according to our deeds". You see, God is a Holy God. That means (according to the Bible) with God's love comes God's harsh response to disobedience. You keep ignoring the issue of SIN. I believe God is willing to terrorize people of earth at different times to make a point.
The more the Bible is read, and understood, and looked at from God's perspective, the bigger God becomes, and the smaller and more limited is the thinking of man. Like this man in the video. So, I'm just going to accept God's Word on faith (the Bible says the just shall live by faith), and gratefully follow Christ, so I can receive the eternal blessing, when Christ's kingdom arrives, and when the wicked nations are destroyed. God's wrath is promised in the Bible. Sin ends, eternal love results.
@smaskeriff It would be an interesting discussion, not sure you'd believe much my testimonial. I've shared it with friends, and it's hard to believe. I'm 35, used to live hard, party hard, and then at the age of 30 God came into my life in a way that left me know doubts that he is real. I read the Bible and believed it, called on the name of Christ, and read in the word scary things about the world. Much of the church is corrupted. And we're in the last days. Google "Matthew 24".
@JesusistheWay144 okay, i read it and my opinion on matthew 24 was that it was very... incoherent. but what i made out what that jesus sat on mt olives said to his disciples that many false prophets would proclaim his second coming but none would be right. until one day he should appear out of the blue and send his angels to save the ones that had faith in him, from the end of the world.
what i think of this is that it is absolutely ridiculous and should not be takes seriously.
@smaskeriff It does sound ridiculous! Now consider this. The Bible says that it is "foolishness to those who are perishing". In other words, to become a Christian, and live by the Word of God, is going to seem foolish to the rest of the world. Now why would God put us through that? Because he loves us, and understands what makes us tick. In the Old Testament the Israelites followed God for short periods of time, but would always fall back into their own ways. Today, God is *training* us.
@JesusistheWay144 i probably do not believe in your testimonial. I'm 21 and i enjoy my fair share of partying and i see nothing wrong with that. what i believe in is that we are all made out of slowly vibrating energy born from the big bang, i believe that energy is not blind, in the way that it is aware of itself, and therefore it can create amazing things, first as molecules and one celled organisms, and on, and on, and on until now.
@smaskeriff When I was 21, I was a total HEATHEN .... and loved it. It makes me laugh looking back at how much chaos I went through in my 20's. I had a few brushes with death and a couple times where I should have got beat down by some bad apples when I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but got away with a scratch or less (I look back and see that even when I didn't believe in God, he was protecting me... are you familiar with the poem footprints in the sand?). He is real.
@JesusistheWay144 and from the organisms came more and more complex things as they adapted to their surroundings and these beings started to evolve brains and have thoughts and be aware of the universe around it, aware of itself. and you and I are just as much a part of this as everything else. we are all part of it, every single thing, we are all one. we are simply the universe experiencing itself with our bodies and brains as the medium.
@smaskeriff it sounds like an interesting idea. i had my own thoughts as well, before I learned the truth. lots of people have their own thoughts. throughout the ages people have always had their own thoughts on creation. each culture had thinkers, then religous people, then people that mocked them. :) God just looks down, sees it all, and one day reveals himself to Abrhaham, then Moses, then Samuel, David, and Joshua, the prophets, then he sends Jesus - to proclaim the Truth, love and faith.
@JesusistheWay144 I think that is what annoys the living shit out of all atheists, that christians says that their belief is the one and only truth, that belief have created many conflicts through history. personally i find it extremely arrogant. but I it is your point of view and you may believe whatever you please :) that is a human right. I can agree on the point of love and faith also, i think faith is a good thing, but not necessary the cristian faith, other faiths are equally good. :)
@smaskeriff someone is going to be annoyed, in any argument, where one claims to be right. there's no way around that. if we go back a few centuries and a new scientist proclaims that the earth is round (not flat) and a few people believe him, other scientists will think he's arrogant for making such a claim. But it's still the truth.
@kentw95 soo what you are saying is in other words is that, when scientists today claims that the bible is false, infact the belief in jesus is copied from the ancient egyptians, and that the bible was writen 300 years after jesus was born (if he everexisted). when they say this some people are not going to believe in them, others will call them arogant for making such a claim, but it will still be the truth.
@smaskeriff Please consider what you're saying for a moment. There are many theories from people who don't believe in the Bible about it's origin. Each one is a theory, because no one can prove what the real origin of the Bible is. Believers can not prove it either. They are forced to accept it on *faith*. Everything about being a Christian hinges on Faith. That is why athiests and Christians will never be able to settle the arguement on the same terms.
@JesusistheWay144 yes, I have considered it and to me it seems quite obvious, if 15 or so religions from a time before jesus had the exact same characteristics, and christianity is known to adapt itself as it spreads. then I find jesus quite hard to believe in. and also your story of creation, is like a question solved backwards, you create a belief and adapt your facts to it. I do not care if you believe this or not, I'm just throwing it out there. this argument will probably never be over.
@smaskeriff Great point, you're right about the debate. The thinking of man (our reasoning) has always been a problem with God. There's a lesson from the Old Testament on this topic. Even after God shows himself with signs and wonders, raises up prophets, and blesses the Israelites, it doesn't take long before they "reason" themselves away from God. So God brings wrath, they return to Him, he blesses them. Then they fall away again. We see man's reasoning is toxic to God's calling.
@JesusistheWay144 so god gives man free will, but when we use it to leave him he gets angry? what is the point of free will then? it is like god are saying: you are free, to do as I tell you. and if our reasoning is a problem to god, why did he not fix us? what you are saying is implying that god made a misstake.
@smaskeriff .... He does give us free will, in a sense. The Bible says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". We are born into sin. Disobedience is programmed into our DNA, you could say. The Bible says "The wages of sin is death." Every person is guilty before God, even our "good" people of the world. We have no choice. We must surrender to God. We must set aside our will for his will. that is the only way to receive eternal life. Through Christ.
@JesusistheWay144 ... Now, doesn't that mean I give up my free will, to follow His will? That is the life of a born again Christian. A willingness to surrender to God, because we realize He desires ALL of our heart. Because I'm human, and make mistakes, lots, God gives his children the Holy Spirit. It is God in us (through faith in Christ) and the Holy Spirit now empowers me with new traits, and a growing desire to produce those traits. When I fall short, it lets me know.
@JesusistheWay144 listen you yourself man, does that sound like what an all loving god would do, create you into a world where you are born guilty. that seems aweful. I would not like to share an eternity with him...
everyone is guilty before god? but god created everyone? how does that even relate? it sound like something a wicked medieval priest would have thought of.
@smaskeriff ... Please consider ... if God is our creator, and knows our motives, and sees all and understands us better than we understand ourself... could he possibly do things that don't seem right to us, because we are only looking at the hear and now and not the big picture? If following Christ really hinges on the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in our minds, and if Christians really must face many trials of faith, could God have his reasons beyond our understanding?
@terravires2 Revelation describes it as a lake of fire for the devil and his angels (who aren't there yet, by the way). They are here on earth as "powers" behind the scenes. The Bible portrays the world as (for a time) being in bondage to Satan, and his demons / fallen angels, some more powerful than others. But God is holding back their full wickedness, until the end times. At some point they are let loose to terrorize the earth, as one of God's judgments on mankind. Revelation 6.
@JesusistheWay144 this makes sense to me, because like the bible says, god loves you and is always with you, god is in every thing, and in every one, god is everything, god is the entire universe. that is what i believe. now tell me what you believe in :)
i agree with you that the church is corrupted, and so is many other things, like politics, and the monetary system. and these things are in need of fixing.
@smaskeriff In John 1, we're taught that Christ is in everything. In other words, God's spirit is everywhere, and it's what connects the entire universe (possibly universes, we don't know yet, God hasn't revealed that yet). Now, if there's life through out the universe, and God sees people / beings suffering at the hands of others, because of SIN (things like pride, greed, selfishness, hate, etc). If he loves his creation, wouldn't he want to set it free?) That's what he does with Jesus. :)
@JesusistheWay144 okay, but believers in christ have done many terrible things throughout history and still do to this day. I cannot see that praising a dead man (a wise man without a doubt, but nonetheless only a man) makes you any different from anyone else, you are still capable of great good and great evil, even though you are a christian.
@smaskeriff This brings us back to the power of the devil. Scripture says, "the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith..." The Bible teaches that Christians are in a spiritual battle that God has ordained for our lives. That battle is against Satan, the adversary. Remember God put the serpent in the garden, and God put Satan in the world. Many "Christians" become tools of the devil. Thus the points you make.
@JesusistheWay144 Please Google "The Parable of the Sower" (NIV) and you'll read a brief story from Jesus. It explains who the false Christians are in the faith. Why would God do this, and allow false Christians to rise up in the churches? It's also part of his training for believers. We are trained to recognize true believers, as it encourages us to be true as well to our faith. To be honest, faithful to our spouse, have love, compassion, strength (spiritual), etc.
@JesusistheWay144 Imagine Navy Seal training and being told that you have a code of ethics. Then being told: "Now a few of you are going to fail because you don't have a code of ethics. If you see someone cheat among you, that's not the character of a real Navy Seal. Don't be like him."... essentially, that's kind of what Jesus is saying in the Parable of the Sower, and thus why we have "false Christians" among "true Christians". All part of God's training in the Word (Bible)
@JesusistheWay144 i don't know if this is ment for me, but it feels like it so i will answer to it, please reply your answers to mine so i can see them in my inbox. thank you ;) why would god not give everyone this code of ethics when he create them?
@smaskeriff I think what we find is that you can create beings with free will and give them a code for ethics, for example angels in heaven, but with free will comes the choice of good or evil, or selfisness, pride, greed, and anger / hate. The angels that are cast from heaven (Satan and those that fell with him) sinned against God. Some are said to be still in "chains" waiting for the day they are judged. What we learn is that God is a holy judge, over his entire creation.
@JesusistheWay144 why would the god and the devil need to be in an external conflict if one created the other? that does not make any sense to me, like a schizophrenic battling his other half. you should read the book "as angels die" by Andreas Roman, it is a well written story about the bible but with a interesting twist.
@smaskeriff God and the devil have a conflict in the world, for the benefit of man. God uses the devil's fall from grace for God's purposes. (he was once an angel in heaven, but corrupted by pride, according to the Bible). So, God has some sort of deal with the devil, it appears. God could have destroyed the devil, or banished him to eternal darkness. Instead, God is using the devil on earth. In fact, the devil reports to God in the Bible, and is said to roam the earth.
@kentw95 how is their conflict benefitial to man? i know that story but please, tell me how god is using him if he is in conflict with him? you seem to contradict yourself.
@terravires2 It's a difficult thing to accept, that God would send the children of unbelievers to Hell, who don't believe in Him. This is a harsh point to accept, but those who do accept this pass one of many tests. The Bible says that believers will face many tests of faith. One other test we face: Can we take harsh criticism and still turn the other cheek? Can we love someone who betrays us, and back stabs us? Can we do this seeking God for Strength, knowing we need Him to stand?
@terravires2 Jesus taught that there was only one way to God, and that is through him. Buddhists who don't find Christ would be destined for hell. But some find Christ. the same goes with Muslims. Google this: "Muslims have dreams and visions of Jesus, become Christians, and leave their faith at risk of persecution and death". There are reports of this taking place more and more in recent years. Dreams / visions brought me to Faith also. No joke. It's hard to believe. I know.
@JesusistheWay144 Find Christ then you can kill Muslims while thinking you are doing Gods will. There is one God, and he said you shall not kill. Worship God not a man the rewritten bible calls God.
@JesusistheWay144 The path to Heaven is through Jesus' teachings. Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is LOVE ALL. These teachings have been repeated in many other faiths. Although the speaker is different, the message is the same. So these people will reach heaven, they do have faith in what Jesus said.
@UltraEpicLoser Jesus also taught to trust in God and live by every word from God. That means not just one or two teachings about love, but every New Testament (God's new covenant with believers) teaching. We're taught that pre-marital sex is a sin, homosexuality is a sin, lying, stealing, cheating, envy, pride, anger, and even lack of trust in God (meaning, anxiety/fear) is a sin. What, anxiety? Yes. It shows a lack of trust in God. Those who live by FAITH are freed from fear.
I've come to peace knowing that not all people will go to heaven. Many will go to hell. God doesn't want sin in heaven. So, he creates a world (earth) full of sin and "under a curse", so that his children will learn to reject sin and follow him. But, that is impossible. So God sends his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, and offer a way for us to be saved. Maybe he does love us after all! (John 3:16-21).
@terravires2 In the Bible, the "righteous" will be raised on the "last day" to eternal life, and the wicked to "eternal death". I like knowing that this life doesn't have to end, as it does for animals, and insects. I also like knowing that my friends and loved ones, neighbors, and strangers I meet who will simply have the "faith of a child" as Jesus said can also go to Heaven. Heaven is not going to be a lonely place. King David said that he longed for the pleasures of heaven.
Paul, in the New Testament, responds to this video's question: How can a just God destroy people? Paul answers by saying that God does this to show his children (who receive the love of God, and don't reject it) the riches of his grace. This means that if you (as a saved Christian) see the wicked and unbelievers die for their unbelief and unwillingness to follow God, and you receive the eternal blessing, you will be that much more grateful to God. So be thankful, and show it by following Him.
The man asks some fair questions but he leaves out the fact that earth is "under a curse" - the reason why God lets and even ordains destructive things to take place. Doesn't found fair? Your children don't think it's fair when they get put in time out, or spanked. Doesn't sound fair? Inmates locked up in America's prisons agree with you, even many who have raped, murdered, and stolen millions. "It's not fair..." No, it is fair... Now, Is Hell Real? Doesn't sound fair? Be careful, it's real.
The only thing keeping me from killing, torturing and raping is my morals, together with my conscience which has shaped my respect for other living things.
The only thing keeping you from killing, torturing and raping is god.
I think it is you is a sorry excuse for a human.
"Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you
would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion"
@TheRide4pac Actually, according to the Bible, it takes good people being decieved by Satan to do evil things. Ask yourself -- if all religions that use the Bible are different from each other in major ways, why is that? Why do Catholics take out part of the Second Commandment (in the Christian Bible it says don't bow down to idols, or anything). yet they bow to the Pope? That's not in the Bible. But many Catholics swear by it. They are deceived by Satan. So are unbelievers. With love,
@TheRide4pac No God does not keep me from killing it is a choice just like anything else. I do not think religion is good just god, and I agree with you that it is an insult to human dignity. And also with your last statement. The only difference in my belief is I believe this great universe came into existence, but the big bang is just the reaction in need of a cause. This is my God the one that created us all and will one day claim us all back. Sounds like science to me.
Kinda scary when you think about it...what if God and Religion really were made up, and were just a bunch of organisms on a blue rock floating IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING NOWHERE OMG
@BasementDweller09 it is clear and proven by science that religion is made up. the bible said that humans came from adam and eve. adam was the first then eve later. science tells us that we evolved from apes and that females were first, then males evolved from females.
try to open your mind and get rid of religion. science can help us, not religion.
@BasementDweller09 It would be scary. But what are the odds of life just springing up on a rock in the middle of space? Our best scientists can't even create life. So, how does it happen by accident? Please consider that as evidence of God -- it takes a designer with a greater intelligence that us on earth. Here's an article though where a scientists may finally have come close.
It's this simple. If I was to raise a child on an island far from society and religion, that child would grow up without any knowledge of 'God'. According to religion no faith in God will lead to 'Hell', therefore that child would go to hell... But what chance did he get, was it his fault that I didn't educate him in God? No justice in that. If a there is a God then why would a child be raised without any knowledge of him? Becuase it's all passed down!
Without religion we will have no duality, no good, no evil. Everybody will do what they wilt for the whole of the law. Killing, rape, pedophilia, torture, will no longer be something evil just something we do. We need to separate good from evil to eventually cast evil out, and be free from the harms of evil, and in a literal paradise where we can all live as brothers and sisters. Peace be upon us all my brothers, and sisters.
@kiddpoor there is one fundamental foult in what you are saying, good and evil are programed in to us when we are born, religeon is tauth.
a baby instinctly know that laugh is good and cry is bad and as they grow up they will understand that this is goes for all living things, and if you don't mess up their childhood they will probably become great people.
@smaskeriff Religion is why people kill knowing that killing is wrong, but being told God wants it. Religion is used to get good people to do bad things!!
@smaskeriff Religion helps to shape people morals. Following a set of morals is called a religion. People want to hate on certain types of religions. Religion does not kill people.
@smaskeriff those are two ethnic groups of people. The conflict is partially religious, but if religion was deleted(in that it was not accounted into the conflict) the conflict would have still occurred because of other circumstances. The Displacement of the Palestinians after WW2. The continued expansion of the Isreali state. These created animosity from the Palestinians and a way they lashed out was/is through terrorist acts.
@UltraEpicLoser so you honestly believe that "if religion was deleted(in that it was not accounted into the conflict)" people would still blow themself up? would they still do that if they did not beileve in a life after this one?
you have a point in that religion does not create terrorists, circumstances do. but religion can help to shape terrorists when the circumstances arise.
@smaskeriff Isn't the centuries old conflict between Jews and Muslims a little odd?
Why are the jews and the nation of Israel right in the center of it? Bible prophecies about the Jews and the nation of Israel are very chilling because they are accurate.Old prophecies said the Jews would be scattered across the nations.That happened after Jerusalem was sacked by invaders a few years after the jewish leaders crucified Christ.Then 2000 years later Israel is a nation again! Which...
@JesusistheWay144 was also prophecied in the book of Isaiah. Wow, the Jews are scattered across the world 2,000 years ago and then in one day are made a nation again?(1948 after world war II). Google this: "Israel fulfills Bible prophecy, becomes a nation in one day".The same prophecy says that when this happens the last generation will be on earth.Well, if a Bible generation lasts about 60 years, we're now 64 years into it. One reason why many believe we're in the end times.
@JesusistheWay144 predictions are quite hard to make, especially when they are about the future. for every prophecy that is fulfilled there are a 1000 that are not. they just don't get acknowlaged.
and you believe that jesus will come down to megiddo and extermich all life and save his few selected, right? well since the middle of the last century we have had the power to do just that.
@smaskeriff now let's say that the next US president is a strong believer like you, and like you he honestly believes that the world is going to end soon. and he has at his comand enough nuclear bombs to blow up the earth 11 times.
and he is just waiting for a sign from god to do it. does that not seem like a self-fulfilling prophecy to you?
@smaskeriff That sounds like a statement made about people like Nostradamus. In the Bible we can show that many predictions have come to pass, but I'm not likely to convince a non-Christian of that. It's something that only God can reveal to you. One day you'll be like me -- a light bulb will go on (God will open your eyes) and you'll pick up the Bible, read it, and understand that it is completely true. You will shed your current skin (figure of speech) and take on the Holy Spirit.
@JesusistheWay144 It was you who made that statement "And we're in the last days. Google "Matthew 24"" I don't understand how anyone can read the bible and still believe in god. you seem to be incapable of critical thinking...
now you have the right to believe whatever you want, and I'm not condemning you for that. but the same human right gives me the right to believe that you are incredibly stupid.
Religion is used as a tool by the elites to control the population for centuries if not millenniums. God has been created so that people have a false sense of calmness and as a method of accounting things.
To have purely left-brain faith in a god, without remotely attempting any type of energy work, makes zero sense, to me. Why make such leaps of faith, without gaining any experience on the vast possibilities our existence is capable of? It simply makes no sense.
@freshbreaks1 Well I have a fantastically real beautiful picture dwelling in my right brain. The picture is showing me everything that is beautiful, just, and glorious about a being that created us all, and loves each and everyone of us. The big bang is nothing but an effect in need of a cause, so somebody flipped the switch.
All religion are base on the same concept of the natural law, conditional causation (cause and affect) "reincarnation". Those people knew that created religion. We all fall into the education, health system, media, technology, news etc. and try to control our mind.They created War, they destroyed country, culture, the most important they try to destroy our soul, our mind, the ability to know the true of yourself. If any religion use "God"name to kill or hurt anyone is against "God" will.Ametafu
one more fucked by society Conspiracy Theorist. i cant beleive that western people giv attention to these conspiracy theorists. Go watch some movie or concert and have a good time.
@dede1212dede1212 yes. That's what one would say with half a brain, thinking everything is conspiracy and nothing having to do with religion making people naive.
Good Evening Mr. Fresco, my Name is Alex. I follow you some 2 - 3 years, and have Big Respect for you and your Theories. Many people before had Big Conflicts with the Religion Matter .i.e. Einstein. What is the cause that some of us carry all these Question around ? And seeking for something i. e. What happens after Life?
We don't have an answer yet. We expect something "Bigger". Some may think like this.
How does it come that we look for answers, if we carry all the answers in us ? Are we not confidence enough.We look for somebody who gives us that confidence? Where do we come from? Who made this Planet- we send rockets out to spy what happens in the UNIVERS or other Galaxis. We are creating so many things, but who brought that LIFE to this Planet. And Why?
When all we are doing is so totally absurd and destroying what "Somebody" gave to us.
Where is this System coming from?
Some people go to church on Sunday because they want to relief their " Sins". And they start to pray. They start to pray. Where do they pray to? They pray or " Talk" to them self.And then they believe that that Prayer goes out to "God" Jah Allah Buddha The ancient Hebrew ehyeh, "I AM" " Spirit".
So that means we know excatly who is the God we are talking to. The Old and New Testament are carried by people through all the Times. Like all the other Prehistoric events. And some "Old Sayings are not transmitted well. Some leave something away,other put something to it. So it is put together as "Life Rules". Human Beings need Rules. The Fauna (Animals) has its own rules. Their Brain is not developed as ours, but they live their "Own Rules"-And for me, they do it well.
I don't teach my children they will end in Hell, if they are wrong. I tell them that it is not good for their Body ,Soul & Mind.
So who is the CREATOR, Builder ,Giver who carried us here . Where is the Start. Where is Zero, Null, Beginning.
I believe in Myself as I believe in "God"; who does not want bad for me rather wants the Best for all of us. We would not ask all these questions that move us along from orign till today in one Direction.
this man has alot of good information. but he knows nothing about the creator or religion. beware of his advice about religion. but other then that he is cool. he is basically forcing his way of life or 'religion' on us and then telling us religion is for ignorant people. and he made this assumption without any education or practice of any faith.smh.
Everything are created by subconsciousness mind.our intention.We are all affected by the nature law which is cause by the conditional causation. (cause and affect)."reincarnation" Those people knew that created religion and try to created a society that all humankind will be continue become a slave for them. they created War, they destroyed country, culture and our soul,the ability to know the true of yourself.Amitabha
"God" What is God mean? This "word" is created by human. Don't get fool by "word". Use your mind. "God" is no form and no shape and have a many difference name because it is kind of energy. All religion are base on the same concept of the natural law, conditional causation (cause and affect) which is running the whole universe. (included all difference dimension) But what the religion guide you to become? What dimension you will transfer to after you died. (e.g. Heaven or Hell) A Mi Ta Fu!
i realized religion is a way of controll back in 3rd grade.
When i learned my country swapped its false gods for christianity and was imediatly accepted by other countries as a noble nation, little to say it became rich through trade and people returned their trust in their leaders
I have 2 main problems with Christianity. The first is, why would God NOT want use to eat from the try of Knowledge? Did he want us to live in ignorance? I guess when you live in the Garden of Eden, ignorance is bliss.
The Second is that I could be Mother Teresa, MLK, Ghandi, and Dalai Lama all in one, but if I don't have faith I go to hell. If God exist, and that is who he is, then I don't want to be in Heaven with someone like that.
I'm Christian and I dont think we can have telepathy with God. I think the guy was actually right on the dot but also didn't fully understand the bible though.
religion doesn't necessarily have to be an impediment to intellectual development. Of course, in ignorant people (majority of Christians/Muslims) religion is devastating,
in that it cements, and validates the ignorance and makes intellectual growth virtually impossible... it's sad that the majority of the human race still believes they can telepathically communicate with the creator of the universe, oh so often the pillars of our wisdom have crumbled into the dust time & time again.
What he is referring to as religion is Christianity. We all know that Christianity was changed many times by men and manipulated by the Church. The Church even was going to persecute a great scientists like Galileo for just saying that the Earth it Flat. But we can never judge the followers over the religion. Back in the days in Arabia, Arabs got were always drunk and even killed their female babies alive. With the introduction of Islam all those things were removed. Religion can be good.
@3bram72 He is talking about Christianity because he knows that most of his audience has been influenced by Christianity. If he was in an Arab country he would be talking about Islam. If he was in Israel he would be talking about Judaism. If he was in India he would be talking about Hinduism.
Christianity is very confusing and all of the examples he uses to bash it are things that do in fact have answers to them. I am a Christian and I don't know everything about the religion because so many different interpretations are being taught. I don't take everything literally, but rather in a symbolic way.The fact of the matter is, I use it for good and to hold my life together, I don't use it to be corrupt. Those who do use religion in corrupt ways are not doing what the bible says.
@PotentialSuccess There may be many interpretations, but the bible plainly contradicts itself, as well as demonstrates how "God" behaves like a petulant child. I mean seriously, what kind of infinite, all-knowing God would have infantile human traits, such as jealousy and wrath? Hell in that case call me God, because the one you worship might as well be a caveman compared to some of our own enlightened spiritualists.
@13Kukis Faith in "God" IS a bad thing, because it convinces people to give away their power. For example, someone posted on Facebook, "If God doesn't step in, take over, we all will be destroyed". Incorrect. MEN created this mess we're in, and MEN like myself will clean it up. Sit and pray all you want; those who do not wish to fight should stay asleep.
@UnluckyGambler Having faith is believing their is a god. Religion is believing in the convoluted mixture of culture and tradition that goes with most faiths.
@rayads786 the properties of the god one believes out of faith is inevitably influenced by the convoluted mixture of culture and tradition. faith and religion cannot be separated from each other. faith is irrational, and that irrational faith is the foundation of all religions. without god there is no religion. without faith there is no belief in god.
@UnluckyGambler Oh no not at all, just believing in the line 'I believe that a god exists' is faith It doesn't have to be convoluted in culture and tradition, thoughts like this line are being increasingly common compared to belief in religion because of the huge (usually adverse) effect religion has on politics.

Religion is following a code of ethics, having beliefs. You can be an atheist and have a religion. Religion was never the problem, almost all religions share the common virtues.

@2RayneR7 What's funny is Jesus was crucified by the religous leaders... they hated everything he stood for. Their "religion" had taken the Words of God and it became a tool for men to enforce social order. Jesus called them out on it. Then he really ticked off / scared religious leader through supernatural miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, etc. He was crucified for it. But all part of God's plan. Today, God's plan is still in motion. Some of you may be saved soon.

@JesusistheWay144 The romans wanted to destroy the scourge that was Christianity... and in time it destroyed them because they created a Martyr. Humanity needed 1000 years to come back to the level of which the Roman Empire had been before it was destroyed by Nomad tribes from Asia. The moment christianity was accepted as an official religion in the Roman Empire that is when the decline started which led to the Dark ages.

@2RayneR7 If you read the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament, Daniel makes a few well known prophecies, about the times of man that are ordained, and the different "kingdoms" that will be on earth until the end of man's self rule, when God finally judges the nations and the time of "great distress" begins, that will be far worse than the dark ages. Some Christians ignore warnings about the end times, and feel like you do. How could a loving God cause death? He hates EVIL (SIN).
JesusistheWay144 4 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 But now ... there is good news ... He sent his Son Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and offer forvigeness for sin. He made his own Son be betrayed and crucified and absolutely ridiculed, mocked, and rejected as punishment for our SIN. At this point, it's obvious: God hates sin. He also likes to be dramatic about demonstrating that hate. God is holy. He wants his children to walk like Him, in holiness. They are rewarded. Not those who reject God.

@JesusistheWay144 SO which god is the true god? :D ! I mean come on christianity is just one of the new spawns. You know the new monotheistic religions. I get it sure the Idea of God/Gods is pretty much the same around all religions well ok maybe it aint that similar in some more distant religions. For example people that were so far from europe that christianity didn't manage to spread to them until the Renaissance and by then it was already a mix of all the other it succumbed.
2RayneR7 4 weeks ago
@2RayneR7 Which one is the true God? Great question. So many religions. Well, let's consider that Jesus is a central figure. As evidence, in the Islamic faith and Christian faith, both believe that Jesus came in the flesh. But in the Islamic faith, they don't believe he was the son of God. In fact, they inscribed that on the side of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Islam. They write: "Jesus was not the Son of God. He was only a prophet." Today the most violence comes from Islam.

@JesusistheWay144 ... And the most world wide charity, and love, and the religion with the most missionaries across the world is Christianity. Jesus said "you will know them by their fruit". He said this to warn about people who claim to follow him vs ones who sincerely do follow him. The Bible says "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, forgiveness, faith, humilty, self-control". I definitely don't see that in Radical Islam which is spreading across the globe.

@JesusistheWay144 True true. Islam is causing most violence in the world today. Throughout Asia and Africa its quite tragic. But when we go back before the Islam and Christianity. Considering they are one of the newest religions how does that give right to Christianity or Islam to be the true religion. Of course everyone has the choice to believe in what they want but realistically you cannot say this is the right religion. Though christianity in its core is a mix of those previous religions.

Ultimate domination and Hate to all. But the idea of a LOVING god that is all powerful still leaves his son to dies and punishes people further heck i'd go for Norse Gods ;) U know the cool ones

@2RayneR7 No, he does love in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, (while, like a good father, does threaten discipline for disobedience. we, like children, need good discipline, or we can do very evil things to each other. a sad fact about humans, that God understands well. He has seen it all. Think about that, please.). How do we know he offers love? Because he let the Israelites (Old Testament) sacrifice animals to atone for sin. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is the sacrifice.
JesusistheWay144 3 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 In no world does sacrifice and love go together in the same sentence... well maybe in some satanic and masochistic texts well or maybe sacrifice from love to save someone. But since after the time of those sacrifices things went to shit i am pretty certain those sacrifices didn't really help anyone. Considering the world started going up again at the time when Religion was no longer the main thing in the life of man. And even more so with the complete negating of it later on.

@2RayneR7 ... Keep in mind, who was God speaking to 4,000 + years ago, when he reveals himself to Abraham? (Abram). Primitive Israelites. People who lived in small groups, roamed the middle east, lived off the wilderness. God brought them to obedience, and taught them to trust him, but requiring from them something that would cost them... animals. He asked for a sacrifice. He asked them to give up something important. Doing this built FAITH, and loyalty to God. Today, we don't...
JesusistheWay144 3 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 ... have animal sacrifice anymore. God agrees with you, it's primitive. That's why he sent his Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross... to put an end to sacrifice (as the Bible says) and to be the one atoning sacrifice for all men. His shed blood offers you and I a way to be forgiven for our sins against God and man. It's part of God's ultimate plan to save a LOT of people from death, through the gift of eternal life. It simply requires faith/love for Jesus.
JesusistheWay144 3 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 Sure that is great and all but it is very well known that one does not have to know or believe in a certain god to reach greatness of spirit. To be good to others and help them. And still the point i am making is. Don't take it too serious. Religions have been around for many 1000s of years before the time of the Primitive ISraelites. People have worshiped whatnot for so many years in 100s of different religions. They needed that to survive because they were in hard times.

@2RayneR7 Is it know way to be loved? Who are we to question God, is what it comes down to. Living by faith, and accepting God's ways is not easy. God did not make it *easy* to believe. He has his reasons. The Word says "My ways are above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts." For people to assume that a loving God would only do things a certain way is limited. The Bible says the fear of the Lord will keep a person from sin. The whole problem with mankind is SIN.
JesusistheWay144 4 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 God hates sin. He warns in Revelation: "I will strike your children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he that searches hearts and minds and will reward each of you according to our deeds". You see, God is a Holy God. That means (according to the Bible) with God's love comes God's harsh response to disobedience. You keep ignoring the issue of SIN. I believe God is willing to terrorize people of earth at different times to make a point.
JesusistheWay144 4 weeks ago
The more the Bible is read, and understood, and looked at from God's perspective, the bigger God becomes, and the smaller and more limited is the thinking of man. Like this man in the video. So, I'm just going to accept God's Word on faith (the Bible says the just shall live by faith), and gratefully follow Christ, so I can receive the eternal blessing, when Christ's kingdom arrives, and when the wicked nations are destroyed. God's wrath is promised in the Bible. Sin ends, eternal love results.

@smaskeriff It does sound ridiculous! Now consider this. The Bible says that it is "foolishness to those who are perishing". In other words, to become a Christian, and live by the Word of God, is going to seem foolish to the rest of the world. Now why would God put us through that? Because he loves us, and understands what makes us tick. In the Old Testament the Israelites followed God for short periods of time, but would always fall back into their own ways. Today, God is *training* us.

@kentw95 soo what you are saying is in other words is that, when scientists today claims that the bible is false, infact the belief in jesus is copied from the ancient egyptians, and that the bible was writen 300 years after jesus was born (if he everexisted). when they say this some people are not going to believe in them, others will call them arogant for making such a claim, but it will still be the truth.
did I get it right?
smaskeriff 4 weeks ago
@smaskeriff Please consider what you're saying for a moment. There are many theories from people who don't believe in the Bible about it's origin. Each one is a theory, because no one can prove what the real origin of the Bible is. Believers can not prove it either. They are forced to accept it on *faith*. Everything about being a Christian hinges on Faith. That is why athiests and Christians will never be able to settle the arguement on the same terms.
JesusistheWay144 4 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 yes, I have considered it and to me it seems quite obvious, if 15 or so religions from a time before jesus had the exact same characteristics, and christianity is known to adapt itself as it spreads. then I find jesus quite hard to believe in. and also your story of creation, is like a question solved backwards, you create a belief and adapt your facts to it. I do not care if you believe this or not, I'm just throwing it out there. this argument will probably never be over.
smaskeriff 4 weeks ago
@smaskeriff Great point, you're right about the debate. The thinking of man (our reasoning) has always been a problem with God. There's a lesson from the Old Testament on this topic. Even after God shows himself with signs and wonders, raises up prophets, and blesses the Israelites, it doesn't take long before they "reason" themselves away from God. So God brings wrath, they return to Him, he blesses them. Then they fall away again. We see man's reasoning is toxic to God's calling.
JesusistheWay144 4 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 so god gives man free will, but when we use it to leave him he gets angry? what is the point of free will then? it is like god are saying: you are free, to do as I tell you. and if our reasoning is a problem to god, why did he not fix us? what you are saying is implying that god made a misstake.
smaskeriff 4 weeks ago
@smaskeriff .... He does give us free will, in a sense. The Bible says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". We are born into sin. Disobedience is programmed into our DNA, you could say. The Bible says "The wages of sin is death." Every person is guilty before God, even our "good" people of the world. We have no choice. We must surrender to God. We must set aside our will for his will. that is the only way to receive eternal life. Through Christ.
JesusistheWay144 4 weeks ago
@JesusistheWay144 ... Now, doesn't that mean I give up my free will, to follow His will? That is the life of a born again Christian. A willingness to surrender to God, because we realize He desires ALL of our heart. Because I'm human, and make mistakes, lots, God gives his children the Holy Spirit. It is God in us (through faith in Christ) and the Holy Spirit now empowers me with new traits, and a growing desire to produce those traits. When I fall short, it lets me know.

@smaskeriff ... Please consider ... if God is our creator, and knows our motives, and sees all and understands us better than we understand ourself... could he possibly do things that don't seem right to us, because we are only looking at the hear and now and not the big picture? If following Christ really hinges on the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in our minds, and if Christians really must face many trials of faith, could God have his reasons beyond our understanding?

The Bible portrays the world as (for a time) being in bondage to Satan, and his demons / fallen angels, some more powerful than others. But God is holding back their full wickedness, until the end times. At some point they are let loose to terrorize the earth, as one of God's judgments on mankind. Revelation 6.

@smaskeriff In John 1, we're taught that Christ is in everything. In other words, God's spirit is everywhere, and it's what connects the entire universe (possibly universes, we don't know yet, God hasn't revealed that yet). Now, if there's life through out the universe, and God sees people / beings suffering at the hands of others, because of SIN (things like pride, greed, selfishness, hate, etc). If he loves his creation, wouldn't he want to set it free?) That's what he does with Jesus. :)

@JesusistheWay144 okay, but believers in christ have done many terrible things throughout history and still do to this day.

smaskeriff 1 month ago
@smaskeriff This brings us back to the power of the devil. Scripture says, "the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith..." The Bible teaches that Christians are in a spiritual battle that God has ordained for our lives. That battle is against Satan, the adversary. Remember God put the serpent in the garden, and God put Satan in the world. Many "Christians" become tools of the devil. Thus the points you make.
JesusistheWay144 1 month ago
@JesusistheWay144 Please Google "The Parable of the Sower" (NIV) and you'll read a brief story from Jesus. It explains who the false Christians are in the faith. Why would God do this, and allow false Christians to rise up in the churches? It's also part of his training for believers. We are trained to recognize true believers, as it encourages us to be true as well to our faith. To be honest, faithful to our spouse, have love, compassion, strength (spiritual), etc.

smaskeriff 4 weeks ago
@smaskeriff I think what we find is that you can create beings with free will and give them a code for ethics, for example angels in heaven, but with free will comes the choice of good or evil, or selfisness, pride, greed, and anger / hate. The angels that are cast from heaven (Satan and those that fell with him) sinned against God. Some are said to be still in "chains" waiting for the day they are judged. What we learn is that God is a holy judge, over his entire creation.

smaskeriff 4 weeks ago
@smaskeriff God and the devil have a conflict in the world, for the benefit of man. God uses the devil's fall from grace for God's purposes. (he was once an angel in heaven, but corrupted by pride, according to the Bible). So, God has some sort of deal with the devil, it appears. God could have destroyed the devil, or banished him to eternal darkness. Instead, God is using the devil on earth. In fact, the devil reports to God in the Bible, and is said to roam the earth.

@terravires2 It's a difficult thing to accept, that God would send the children of unbelievers to Hell, who don't believe in Him. This is a harsh point to accept, but those who do accept this pass one of many tests. The Bible says that believers will face many tests of faith. One other test we face: Can we take harsh criticism and still turn the other cheek? Can we love someone who betrays us, and back stabs us? Can we do this seeking God for Strength, knowing we need Him to stand?

I've come to peace knowing that not all people will go to heaven. Many will go to hell. God doesn't want sin in heaven. So, he creates a world (earth) full of sin and "under a curse", so that his children will learn to reject sin and follow him. But, that is impossible. So God sends his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, and offer a way for us to be saved. Maybe he does love us after all! (John 3:16-21).

Paul, in the New Testament, responds to this video's question: How can a just God destroy people? Paul answers by saying that God does this to show his children (who receive the love of God, and don't reject it) the riches of his grace. This means that if you (as a saved Christian) see the wicked and unbelievers die for their unbelief and unwillingness to follow God, and you receive the eternal blessing, you will be that much more grateful to God. So be thankful, and show it by following Him.

in that it cements, and validates the ignorance and makes intellectual growth virtually impossible... it's sad that the majority of the human race still believes they can telepathically communicate with the creator of the universe, oh so often the pillars of our wisdom have crumbled into the dust time & time again.

What he is referring to as religion is Christianity. We all know that Christianity was changed many times by men and manipulated by the Church. The Church even was going to persecute a great scientists like Galileo for just saying that the Earth it Flat. But we can never judge the followers over the religion. Back in the days in Arabia, Arabs got were always drunk and even killed their female babies alive. With the introduction of Islam all those things were removed. Religion can be good.

@3bram72 He is talking about Christianity because he knows that most of his audience has been influenced by Christianity. If he was in an Arab country he would be talking about Islam. If he was in Israel he would be talking about Judaism. If he was in India he would be talking about Hinduism.

Christianity is very confusing and all of the examples he uses to bash it are things that do in fact have answers to them. I am a Christian and I don't know everything about the religion because so many different interpretations are being taught. I don't take everything literally, but rather in a symbolic way.The fact of the matter is, I use it for good and to hold my life together, I don't use it to be corrupt. Those who do use religion in corrupt ways are not doing what the bible says.

@PotentialSuccess There may be many interpretations, but the bible plainly contradicts itself, as well as demonstrates how "God" behaves like a petulant child. I mean seriously, what kind of infinite, all-knowing God would have infantile human traits, such as jealousy and wrath? Hell in that case call me God, because the one you worship might as well be a caveman compared to some of our own enlightened spiritualists.

Faith in God is not a bad thing, religion is. Those are two different things..

@13Kukis Faith in "God" IS a bad thing, because it convinces people to give away their power. For example, someone posted on Facebook, "If God doesn't step in, take over, we all will be destroyed". Incorrect. MEN created this mess we're in, and MEN like myself will clean it up. Sit and pray all you want; those who do not wish to fight should stay asleep.

@UnluckyGambler Having faith is believing their is a god. Religion is believing in the convoluted mixture of culture and tradition that goes with most faiths.

@rayads786 the properties of the god one believes out of faith is inevitably influenced by the convoluted mixture of culture and tradition. faith and religion cannot be separated from each other. faith is irrational, and that irrational faith is the foundation of all religions. without god there is no religion. without faith there is no belief in god.

@UnluckyGambler Oh no not at all, just believing in the line 'I believe that a god exists' is faith It doesn't have to be convoluted in culture and tradition, thoughts like this line are being increasingly common compared to belief in religion because of the huge (usually adverse) effect religion has on politics.
