if you question whether the Holy Bible is true or not, I suggest that you read the entire Holy Bible One of the things you will find is prophecies of future events. Some have already occurred some ate yet to occur. But according to my personal observations of the prophecies and my observations of the universe the Holy Bible is true.
@thejewishagnostic All perceptions imply belief because nothing we can perceive is absolute reality, as it is nothing more than a perception that exists entirely within our mind. We may realize that there is some truth to our perceptions, which this acknowledgement shows belief in the perception. Atheism which is the acknowledgement that there is some truth to the idea that there is no god, is in fact a belief.
@fungjungkung - I am an Atheist and you're description does not apply to me. My definition of Atheism is not a "belief". I DO NOT believe in leprechauns, fairies, vampires or gods. If someone tells me there is an invisible elephant in my living room that I cannot see, feel, hear, smell or taste, I have NO reason to believe it exists. That is my view of supernatural beings or gods. Lacking ANY evidence I have NO reason to view it any differently than the invisible elephant. Just clarifying : )
Thats not the definition in standard dictionaries or in any philosophical index, it also goes against the the traditional use & epistomology of the word (godless belief.)
@lxAgnosticxl - Well,I am an ATHEIST and I don't let christians or agnostics define Atheism for ME. christians try to define it in a way that puts Atheists down, for example "Prove something doesn't exist" and then because you haven't travelled the entire universe they say, "Aha! You CAN'T prove it" but NO ONE can prove leprechauns DON'T exist and no one thinks that is a reason to believe in them. Read "Atheism: The case against god" by a REAL Atheist George H. Smith and get back to me.
How about letting the people who coined the phrase define it how they defined it!
Then you set up a complete straw man, i think there is evidence for God. But even if there wasn't the absence of evidence is only evidence of absence when we expect it to be there, Like a planet between Earth & Mars. I can think off of the top of my head atleast 2 or 3 reasons why God wouldn't provide evidence for his existance.
@lxAgnosticxl - O.K. then tell me what is the definition of this. A person who with 100% confidence knows god does NOT exist. Because that defines ME. That SHOULD be the definition of Atheist. In that case I will coin the phrase that defines me and then you will HAVE to agree because I coin the phrase Ultra-Atheist! Definition: One who is 100% confident that there is NO god or supernatural being of ANY kind. Thanks, I'll remember to give you partial credit in the future : )
100% That is an atheist, im sorry i thought you were defining atheism as simply the lack of belief, But you seem to agree its belief in the non existance of God (there is a difference) the atheist by your defining has a burdon of proof.
@lxAgnosticxl - Actually, that is how I WAS defining it and according to the Atheist scholars I ascribe to, that IS the proper definition. BUT, so many people use the definition of having to PROVE a negative to be an Atheist that I felt it was time to coin a phrase that is as un-ambiguous as possible for the sake of youtube comment debates (like this) that are too short to present a proper foundation. Still, if you are agnostic I highly recommend that book Atheism: The case against god.
Ok i'll look up the book later, also i agree with your definition, but to say with 100% certainty you've got to do more than simply say theres no good evidence for God.
Do you know of any argument or evidence for the non existence of God?
@lxAgnosticxl - ALL of the evidence that I (and everyone for that matter) have ever seen points to the NON existence of god. Before going to the supernatural you MUST first exhaust ALL natural possibilities. For example, you come home and all of your furniture has been moved around. What is the FIRST thing you would think? Hopefully NOT a poltergeist did it. You would think someone came in and moved it. That is a simple example but you can apply that logic to every question, even the universe.
Well i think thats a red herring ,What evidence for atheism? All the evidence from science , philosophy & theology that i've herd points directly to God.
@lxAgnosticxl - If you have some reliable evidence that you think can even lower my certainty to 99% I would be glad to hear it. Most likely we will end up discussing the definition of 'evidence' and 'standards' because I hold everything to a standard of evidence that is best described by Ayn Rand in her Objectivist Philosophy. Well, I have to go run some errands. I'll check back later if you're interested in discussing further. I enjoy it. BTW is was a christian for 30 years.
Plz don't get philosophy from Ayn Rand, but im gonna turn this into a pm if you don't mind , here i'll simply ist the arguments and in the pm send the premises.1
1)God is the best explanation as to why anything exists rather than nothing
2)God is the bes explanation for the origin of the universe
3)God is the best explanation for the fine tuning of the universe
Agnostic John 3;16 "God apparently loved the world so much that he supposedly gave his only begotten "son" so that who ever isn't quite sure but thinks their might be a possibility, may not perish but have everlasting life"
Good video. I have often that atheism and evangelical Christians are like opposite sides of the same coin. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Thanks Rev. JOhn
Revjohn, I know a lot of people watching thing video won't understand what you're getting at; However, I really enjoyed this video and agree with you completely. This is true "open-mindedness", thank you!
The brain is a trial and error machine, the functiona are taken by different sections most probably due to normal evolutional processes, taking one on hemisphere out, the other half of the brain will take over the functions.
Trying to use the scientific method to measure God is like trying to use a plastic spoon to chop down a solid oak tree. One day, all you non-believers will see that i'm right. There is a living god, Jesus is his son, and all who believe in his son will have so many blessings that the human mind can't even comprehend. god has something good for us. Sooner or later God will give us our reward, and that's something you can be sure on, I promise.
@saintpine Everyone's opinion should be respected, If you believe in God or not. All of you who ridicule me, and others for our beliefs, are a total disrespect. People are entitled to their opinions, not matter if they be right or wrong. Reproaching people's beliefs only further proves the severe immaturity of these sorts of people.
Don’t be ridiculous, you don’t respect my opinion as I don’t respect yours, at best you can respect a person. “All of you who ridicule me, and others for our beliefs, are a total disrespect.”
Are you pretending special immunity from criticism?
Your fairy tale has its disrespect for me written in black on white.
@saintpine Well mr. saintpine, i'm a Christian, yes, but plz. don't codemn me for the insults or actions of other Chrsitains who MAY have insulted you in the past. That doesn't represent me. Yes, I do think it would be nice if you were converted into a Christian, but if not, so be it. i am not here to codemn anyone. My mission is only offer and present my God to as many people as possible. Take it or leave it. for those who choose not to accept Jesus Christ, okay, but i'm not gonna dis you.
“ plz. don't codemn me for the insults or actions of other … choose not to accept Jesus Christ, okay"
I’m an atheist, and I would prefer you call him “Jesus” and not “Jesus Christ” when talking to an atheist.
Is my behavior any different to yours that you feel threatened in some way? You follow a book that is offensive and threatening towards atheists, if you don’t believe so, than I hope you dedicate some time on Christians to promote your interpretation of the bible.
@saintpine OKay, well at any rate, I'm ending this conversation, if you already hadn't done so yourself.
Anything that I did ,say, or do to offend you, I'm sorry. I did learn something new from these conversations, the perspective of religion, especially Christianity, from an aethiesits point of view. I have my Christian belief and values, and i won't change. And i presented my case to you, and so whatever path that any of us choose, let's just hope that it be the right one.
@saintpine So it seems to me that Christainity is the belief (religion) that bothers you the most, out of all beliefs. And the reason why it bothers you is because Christianity is illogical to you. But what about the other religions? They should also seem to be just as, or more nonsensical to you than Christianity, but for some reason you still come down on Christianity the hardest.
@betcommando "So it seems to me that Christainity is the belief (religion) that bothers you the most, out of all beliefs."
Are you fooling me? why doesn't hinduism bother me? you live in America, now sincerly why would an american atheist have an issue with Christianity and not hinduism?
I'm Italian, living here for the last 30 years, I had compulsory christian religion and worshiping for all my school years.
I'm Italian, living here for the last 30 years, I had compulsory Christian religion and worshiping in public schools in South Africa where I lived my childhood for all my school years, I never heard about the big bang or evolution until the age of about 45. I was an atheist at the age of 14, i hardly ever met another atheists and I slowly started coming out 30 years later when I finally discovered that we are at least 30%, unlike statistics that state around 6%.
@betcommando Your belief in such silly superstition is adorable. Scientific method doesn't attempt to "measure" god, because there is no evidence to be quantified. There is no, and never has been, a single shred of evidence to support the idea that a creator of any kind exists.
Your beliefs are exactly as valid as a belief in Ra, Odin, Zeus, or Shiva... not valid at all.
@emperor0013 Or, all these deities, be they Ra, Odin, Zeus, Mithra, Pan or Shiva, etc., could all be masks that conceal a force of entropy/creation that is beyond any human level of understanding or comprehension, so we personalize it into something we as humans can relate to: a being - a big daddy or mommy in the sky.
@RevJohn It is more likely that deities are all masks for what we don't understand. There used to be a god that pulled the sun across the sky. Now we know better. There used to be a god that was responsible for strange weather and SIDS, but now we know better.
Gods are ever shrinking, and I hope the future will see all such superstitions eliminated.
@RevJohn Primitive and barbaric? Maybe. Superstitions? Hardly. Scientific understanding is based on testable evidence with repeatable, predictable results.
This is why we will never refer to today's science as "superstitious" in the future.
@emperor0013 During the Middle Ages, using leeches or bloodsuckers on patient's bodies was considered the "scientific approach" used by doctors in curing blood disease. Then in modern times, doctors were ashamed to admit that this "primitive and barbaric" approach was so widely practiced way back then, because people were so "ignorant" and there was no "scientific proof" to confirm that it worked. Now, the practice has returned because it has been proven to stop clotting!!
@emperor0013 Science is flawed because scientists are FALLIBLE HUMAN BEINGS, not gods. And even when they use the scientific method with "repeatable, predictable results," they will interpret the data to reflect their own prejudices. So, stop substituting one god for another. Scientists are NOT gods. They make MISTAKES. They misread the evidence more often than you think.
@emperor0013 Here's another thing: In the everyday world, energy is always unalterably fixed; the law of energy conservation is a cornerstone of classical physics. But in the quantum microworld, energy can appear and disappear out of nowhere in a spontaneous and unpredictable fashion. So the new repeatable, reliable experiments in quantum physics with advanced equipment, disproves the old repeatable, reliable experiments of classical physics and makes them look foolish and "superstitious."
@emperor0013 Once more, science is imperfect because those conducting the experiments are human and humans are imperfect and will therefore construct the experiments in such a way that does not take other factors into account.
@RevJohn Science doesn't claim to be perfect, quite unlike theistic elements. The very moment we prove something wrong about a previous method of thought, we change it. This is the nature of "learning".
Because science is not ridiculous to claim to be all-knowing, you've decided that science is not the best method to understanding our world? Then you turn to things that are not only absurd in it's very nature, but completely untestable and unproveable?
@emperor0013 Oh... you think I'm defending the theistic nutcases by posting this? WRONG! That wasn't my intention. I wanted to point out the fact that there are classical materialists who look upon temporal science (current day popular theory) the same way theists look to absurd doctrine about their god-on-a-stick. In other words, these materialists DO believe our current limited understanding explanation of the universe is "the answer" - perfect in every way!
Belief in God is subjective, and in most cases, having belief in a god, especially in a god that is invisible is illogical. But God cannot be subjected to logic because he is infinite. And infinity in itself is illogical. and that is why God cannot be detected by the scientific method.
God WILL EXIST regardless if we believe in him or not. God's existence is not dependent on the subject's belief. God existed before the universe existed!
I agree with most of what is said in the video, except for the notion that "believing" in the Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster can be dangerous in any way.
If you really can't figure out that the whole "religion" is satire, you got much bigger issues than the Pastafaris...
A lot have geniuses have been "big picture" thinkers who were also very linear thinkers. They may not have been conventionally religious, in fact many extremely religious people don't use much of either hemisphere, they just follow the beast in front of them. But you can be very right brained, subjective and a creative genius.
@CanadiaNecro1 Very good point! For example, you always hear of creative talents who become famous but need someone else to manage their money! And then they end up losing it all to someone untrustworthy.
@RevJohn That has happened to so many famous people in history. Buffalo Bill for example, got taken by a predatory carnival manager and had to work until he died to pay the balance. Bill was by all accounts an unusual and intelligent man. And Bert Einstein, he was the most famous genius in history, yet was quite disfunctional in some ways. Genius is never predictable, like the human brain.
We exist as a mirror of the universe. You need a male and female adult to pro-create to make another organism and the sperm cell and egg themselves need to meet to form the new being. We know that matter out in space is pro-created as well and that universes can be too. Everything comes from something else. We can look back at our own previous forms of energy. Each and everyone of us was once out there in outer-space as other concentrations of energy... conscious or not .
One thing i have to say regarding your thought on "god is all". It is quite obvious that the universe is an inorganic space of darkness speckled with energy. The universe is clearly not alive , there are organisms that inhabit the universe we happen to live in which would be us and the other species on this planet and maybe other possible organisms on other planets in the further reaches of our universe. I think we came from "Space Matter".
I think that the universe or multiverse is eternal and never ends but rather an eternal chain of universes coming in and out of existence just like organisms .
Hello john, why you say theists are dilusionals ? I mean without christians and muslims their would be no satanists !!! iam cofused because christians and muslims say satan exist, like satanist say same! thanks
I'm objective and subjective on a daily basis, thinking with my left AND right brain (not neccesarily about religion or philosophy) about the same subject in the same moment. Does that make me weird? lmfao XD I'm jk.
@RevJohn I know. I was just trying to sort in my own head, as usual, why people think religiously with just their right brain but fail to acknowledge that there is a possibility that they could be wrong and try to asks questions. I think when you are fully or mostly right brained it's hard to learn or question why things are the way they are because, and I'm going out on a limb here, they are told what they need to know in their holy books and forget the facts. & thank you for your comment back.
@RevJohn & I'm not trying to say that all religious people are fully right brained. Some are smart & use the left analytical part of their brain as well. I only said that because to me personally it seems that the majority, not the minority, of religious people are mostly right brained which causes cases of hate, extremism, & narrowmindedness. They focus so much on philosophy & religion that it becomes their life & be damned anyone who questions them or doesn't believe in whatever god they do.
Hello RevJohn! I love your views and videos! I am plagued by bad luck and misfortune and cannot seem to catch a break financially. I always have more money problems arising then I have income. I tried the "Jesus" route to no avail. I am totally against God and wish to sell my soul. Can you give me insight on how to do so and also how to communicate with the angels and the Devil to achieve what I hope and dream for. Thanks in advance. Please be specific for I know nothing of this subject.
@sonnysugacane I'm going to blunt because this is an area I've fully explored - signing pacts with angels or devils, etc... First off, what makes you think your soul is worth anything. If we were back in the Middle Ages where you would be killed for even THINKING of selling your soul, then the act of actually DOING it would have much more weight! But now, today, there are millions of people just like you who are eager and willing to sign themselves away. The forces that be aren't even interested
I feel down and out the way you do,. I am ugly and no one likes me. But I know that the Lord has a better life comming than this one. There are times when i also feel like I should give up on God.My wife betrayed me, I can't find a job, and everyone despises me. But I won't give up on Jesus because I know that one day he is going to have place for me in heaven and I will be ruling and reigning with him in his awesome kingdom. Trust Jesus and God will give you what you seek.
I'm an atheist, and I largely agree with you. I dislike militant atheism, because it's just another means of division. I do not care what someone believes; I only care that we have equal rights (which we currently don't). It infuriates me that this new generation of atheists attack agnostics and religious moderates. They are making things harder for everyone. If you respect a person, you must respect his right to believe what he pleases, so long as he does not impinge on the rights of others.
Good point, but you are a bit prejusticed. You`re just assuming that all atheists are millitant anti-theists or denial of all spiritual possibilities. The case is however that atheism is about individualism and free thought, though there are some individuals here and there that are very afraid of new ideas and are prejudiced. But it is basicly a rebellion against political religion and nothing more. Many of them are very open-minded, just not to political religion like islam and xtianity.
@unlyckystrike Good point, unlycky. That's why I wish the atheists you mention would just call themselves "freethinkers" or something like that. I get your point about the need to rebel against political oppression... I feel it too. In fact, a lot of people calling themselves "Satanists" are doing the same thing - technically, they don't really worship the devil - they are just making a dramatic statement.
@RevJohn Yeah, but have you tried to debate many atheists then? Most of them are quite openminded. it`s just that they demand logic and evidence for things. Good arguments often serve as evidence, as the examples you brought up with the objective and subjective perceptions of reality and such. I read LaVey and I like many of his veiwpoints and I support atheism as well. But I don`t label myself in any of the camps, I`m an individualist so I don`t need the label(s) or any community :)
I can scientifically and logically prove the exsistance of One Eternal Creator.
I can prove this is the same God of Adam, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad pbut.
Simply by applying the attributes of God in the Old Testiment, new testiment, and final testiment Glorious Quran. To insure a clear definition of God, keep in mind God by definition is object of worship, and the God i have proved has unique attributes that only one entity can have and non are equal to God.
@Nickspasic Not equal?? That's like saying your big toe isn't equal to your whole foot. But every single toe and bone and heel comprise that foot, so that's a silly argument. Science will prove that we are all part of the whole and woven into the fabric of existence, God is All. All is God. And the center of God is EVERYWHERE. Not above us, not below us, but with us.
@RevJohn God created all matter/ energy, The universe by definition is space-time, matter/energy, as you can see the universe is composed of time, and because we know the universe has a beginning we can conclude that the source of all matter/energy in the universe has to be eternal, or outside of time. and we can also conclude that God is all powerful because God created all matter/energy. I can continue to go in more depth but lack of room, God and the creation are 2 different things.
@Nickspasic You were there in the beginning because you are God and you are eternal. I clearly understand what you are trying to say, but you are wrong. You are a living example of God being conscious of God, or God being "self-aware." All matter and energy is a direct expression of God. And like God, you have the ability to manipulate matter/energy any way you want, creating new forms of life. Man is on the verge of extending his physical life indefinitely - living forever. There is proof!
@RevJohn Impossible, its encoded in our DNA that we are going to age and die. Did humanity incode his own DNA.... Did you yourself make the sperm that is in your testies, did you yourself build the organs responsible for reproduction.. Of course not some argue it is evolutionary, regardless if its evolutionary or not we didnt make the choice, but was predetermined by God. God is the evolver, because God fine tuned the law's that Govern the universe which actually Governs your brain and thought.
@Nickspasic The belief that God and Man (or Creation) is two separate things is the greatest, most insidious, awful thing that has ever plagued humankind. It allows for the belief in a "parent figure" somewhere in the cosmos that only "special people" can converse and relate to it. Well, I am here to tell you that the all encompassing intelligence within the universe is far too impersonal to care about you. It is like worrying over the tiny cells that live and die in your body every day!
@RevJohn "Special people"? We all have the ability to be amung those whom God has favored. Have you ever actually tried to obey all of Gods commandments, and you have submitted your will to God letting go of every atoms weight of arragence in your heart, and giving all credit were credit is due, which is God the creator of all matter/energy. Then you will see anything you pray for or need will come in time. Collectivly Humanity will never be able to break the law's God has set.
@RevJohn God by definition is object of worship. The only one worthy of worship is the one true creator who gave us life!
God is no were in the cosmose, no image or idol or anything we can comprehend in our mind is not God. God is beyond our comprehension, wich is why Faith is needed when it comes to fearing God and following Gods commands.
God is all powerful and can bless whom he is pleased with, or can cause to go astray those who earn his anger. God know's your choices.

how the hell can we argue about religion and atheism when we dont even understand our own brain yet!! lets start with knowing who the fuck we are!! then we can argue about all this atheism and religion
We set up these religions to make us happy, to give us false hope for when we die, but life has no point. We are probably a piece of bacteria stuck on some kid's shoe in anther dimension, that we are something very small in a huge other world and that life begins and ends with no meaning. So u make life whatever you want it to be, and wait until your existence is finished. And that there is some force that created the universe that we could never possibly comprehend. Like what was before
Sorry i have a very long comment so i have to spread it into to parts....
Part 1:
This is a very interesting and informative video, indeed. I like what you say about believing in yourself and self deification, it is thoughtful and smart, but overall i think it is quite pointless. I have no religion i believe in, nor am i agnostic, quite frankly i don't care about religion; this is because of my theory on life. I think that the whole world, and universe is pointless.
@DJTurboSolarium Study Chemistry, Biology, Physic's, and you will see that in order to comprehend such subjects in depth we must use our intelligence to comprehend, we have to use our intelligence and gain knowledge in order to understand such subjects. We know for sure Physic's and its law's are true because we can observe, test, and reason using our Brain.
could such a universe full of logic, and the abilit to use our intelligence to comprehend it be proof of the intelligence that created it?
you lost me with the galileo thing. the fact that he made a living with astrology means nothing. meny of the first real "scientists" were very religious...so what.
they also did'nt wash thier hands alot too. you keep saying "militant" some would say non apologetic I guess that depends on your reality....over all it was a good vid nice new view thanks
Dear Reverend, you've shot an interesting video. Anyway, what is your theory of functional difference between the two sides of brain based on? Can't the reality of brain be even much more complicated?
@danielsondanielson The reality is much more complicated. You are correct. I intentionally "dumb" things down because that's the only way to reach people nowadays and I make no apologies for it. LOL
It does not matter who or how you achieve "godhood". As an Atheist, I do not believe in ANY "god, gods or supernatural authority". Even when mankind ascends after the Singularity and becomes godlike because they've merged with their machines, they will not be "gods". They will not have transcended the laws of physics. Also, as an Atheist, I use and abuse my imagination and intuition. I also understand them. I've never met a "militant atheist" before.
It i called bad from the devil (Satan) the ruler of Hell not a good place very bad you really don't want to go there. Jesus is the way the only way to God and to heaven!!!!
@RevJohn I guess we will all see you are a very smart man, I wanted to let you know that if he your god ever torments you just ask Jesus and the holy spirit to come into your heart and ask forgiveness of your sins, then you should plead the blood of Jesus over you and your family, and your house, just try and see but most of all believe......... He will protect you
@RevJohn They actually both have already been created and like I said I think you are a very smart man just maybe deceived, I think you know more than a lot of Christians do about Satan and the Bible and Jesus, most satanists do. The church that I attend has a knowledge of deliverence from evil spirits.There are ex witches and satanists that have come to Christ because of their torment from Satan and his spirits, that help people like you. I am here for you If you want just contact me, love
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus What if I told you that the "evil spirits" exist only within the mind of the individual and they were put there by religion with its unnatural guilt, shame and fear. The external, archetypal form that you call "Satan" is neither good or evil and represents a dark aspect or quality of nature or God, if you will. One day, the chains will truly be broken and people will discover how the mind truly works and how nature works. Religion gives us the illusion of freedom.
@RevJohn You say what if you told me well I do not agree like I had already wrote in your email. Tell me this I forgot to ask when I had wrote you, when you send out your hex's or bindings, or spells, or curses, whatever it is you call them exactly how does it work? You see I think there is a spirit relhm that it sends out a an evil spirit or as you would call them your imaginary friends. When it is sent out, it is a curse you see you can either speak a curse or a blessing.
@RevJohn Okay now this is common sense here, okay when you speak a blessing which is literally a good thing it uplifts someone. For example I think you are a smart man, that uplifts you right? Now if I were to be religious or judgmental I would say you are wrong for what you are doing, you are a bad man, what does that do to you how does it make you feel? Probably not good right a bad feeling comes upon you that eith can make you mad, angry, hurt, whatever it is.
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Love is not always good. Hate is not always evil. Sometimes love for the wrong reason can enable or encourage wrongful or destructive behaviors. Think of the woman who often gets beaten by her husband badly until she bleeds. The hospital calls the police who want to arrest him, but the wife says "No! I love him. Let him go!" And so, they go home together and one week later, the man kills his wife. Things like this happen more often than you know.
@RevJohn You are funny ya know, is this a competition? Or are you wanting to know how much I know of the things that you know???!!! I really think you got that one. You have already replied in one of your other video pages, that your imaginary friends make people strap bombs on them and make people crash planes into buildings right something like that? So that says that you know what your imaginary friends do and so do I.
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus I call them guys demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits, ghosts, whatever you wanna call them.I know exactly how it works I got delivered from some in the name of Jesus. I felt them inside my body, it first starts with a thought you accept the thought agree with it and then it controls you whatever it is. If you have rage it first triggers something in your head then you act out and it usualy becomes physical.
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus I am a christian so Satan wants me to backslide, I hear lots of thoughts I know are not my own, thoughts that are bad and if I agree I can feel them in my body. Pride for example will sit on my shoulders I will feel pain in my shoulders and neck that doesn't massage away, Just by pleading the blood of Jesus or changing my thought pattern on something posotive. Or depression I struggled with years ago would take over my body like a huge weight, it all starts with thoughts.
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Also listen to this I have seen it with people that have been christians and then choose to to witchcraft instead, if the devil can get someone who has been saved to choose him that gives your guy more authority to send out your spells, hex's withcraft, spirits is really what they are, to other people that have open doors. Doesn't it make some sense people always get hit in their weaknesses. Never mind I do not know why I am telling you things you already know.
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Like I said before I think you know what I think you know which is alot about what you like, have you heard of a guy named Jess Parker?
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Like I said before I think you know what I think you know which is alot about what you like. Also with the thing about the husband killing his wife now do u think maybe his imaginary buddies made him?????Anger, rage, they have names. And the woman I suspect that she had a weakness like seeing her mom accept the same things? Some things in life we have to learn and when we don't they stay a weakness most things in life like habits can not be over come without Christ.
@RevJohn You see you can love for the wrong reasons and pay for it or you can set boundaries to protect yourself, for example my ex husband beat me, I saw my mom get beat, so I stayed, he cheated on me I stayed I loved him and forgave him, what I did was not put proper boundaries up so it kept happening, by me taking him in every time after taught him that it was okay, he had memories from him dad doing it to his mom so that is how he expressed love, I expressed it by being passive.
Respond to this video..So by me being passive I harmed myself, and by not being healed form the past both of us unhealed we acted out in stupid ways, Now we both have been healed through Christ and deliverance from spirits and know have a knowledge of how to fight thoughts and to use the power over them through Christ. We are now friends we get along and help one another.
@RevJohn Now tell me what is it that you say when you say your spells? What is the spell for? What are you intentions? These are questions I would really like to know. I see it in a spirit rehlm when you speak a curse it sends out an evil/dark spirit which is not good to destroy someone and their life, when you speak a blessing it convicts them for what they did to you to make them see that they were wrong. See to send a curse then for them to send one back it just keeps working back and forth.
@RevJohn Did you know that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. I think we are all just looking for love for peace and we keep fighting and trying to get revenge and it is never satisfying that we live our whole life doing it it is called insanity. Now I believe that Jesus is the way to true freedom and he gives a compete peace, because I have tried almost every other way there is to try. To feel his love and presence there is nothing like it.
@RevJohn So that is why I believe the way that I choose. I am just saying like I have already said, to show you another way if you ever decide you would like peace or a change. I hope the best for you in your life!!!
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus What if I told you that spirits are just like people? Even the ones you think of as evil are sometimes good! Also, just as I pointed out to you that people can LOVE for all the wrong reasons, people can HATE for all the wrong reasons. You are trying to put me on Satan's side of the fence, and this is where you are very wrong. You also think of yourself as the "good guy"
@RevJohn Satan will lie and show himself as good, and also tell the truth if it will edify and build his kingdom. Jesus is forgiving, but if you are used as a door mat then it is a different, like a woman getting beat over and over, if she had the holy spirit she would have been revealed what she should have done.It really happens that way the holy spirit becomes your concious. I do not see you as a bad guy I see you in the image of God you are beautiful, I may not agree with you on some things.
@RevJohn And I think evil spirits are like people the get in people in there head sometimes in their body. See I think the right reason to love is what the bible says, love forgives,gives,unselfish, not proud, ect. If I love like this with boundaries so I do not get used and walked on then it is for the right reasons. If I hate for the wrong reasons then I need to forgive. If you would like to debate on this further give me an example please of what you mean.
Things in the bible that were foretold are coming to pass and you can see them in revelation in the back of the bible things are coming true things that are obvious, and world peace was never promised by God just individually inside, the world is going to get worse, it is a Christians job to bring people to Christ, by healing the oppressed, raising the dead, and casting out demons. So people go to heaven and become friends of Jesus to make more friends of Jesus.
as a life-long grand mal epileptic, this intrigues me a lot. I'm sure any religious nut will not like this. Simply due to 'em thinking everyone must think like them...or else. Common sense & reality proves that they are wrong. So do the Founding Fathers.
Respond to this video... Also about what you said about peace. That is no where in the "bible" World peace no, peace inside knowing that your life is taken care of by one who knows how to handle bad things that may come our way, which is Jesus, call it brain washing whatever you want. But I feel great and I have hope and faith and I love what I walk through every day and I am very thankful.
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Your numerous posts to my videos proves that you are bothered by something. I have made you think. Perhaps you will learn one day that God helps those who help themselves and that saying the word "Jesus, Jesus" all the time doesn't make you holy or keep you safe. Right now, I feel you are in denial about many things, but even that will change in time.
@RevJohn I am not bothered I just stay at home and work part time so I just like to express my opinion, just like you do. I don't think it is wise or smart to assume, what someone may be thinking. I does bother me a little that you can assume what I am thinking because I type a lot and that I try to answer all your questions and do not answer mine. And yes God does require people to use common senses and to help there selves but he does help those who are broken and need him.
@RevJohn I would also like to know what it is you think I am in denial about, you wrote many things please let me know those things. And I agree I cannot go around saying Jesus and expect God to keep me safe even though there are people who do do that. I believe what keeps me free which is I am sanctified through Christ and blameless, without sin. As long as I am doing the best I can, repenting if I do sin, turn from it I am sanctified, which means pure and holy because Jesus died for sin.
@RevJohn I would also like to say that it isn't a set of rules I go by. Jesus is my friend and my helper, it is not the old school religion. People get Christianity mixed up they go around acting like the bible says satan acts, condemning everyone for what they do wrong, Instead of loving like Jesus did and does. That is what it is about Jesus and the way he loves.

I think this video has some good substance for those who truly just don't get it - those of us who are on either side of the brain. When it comes down to it, for me it's extremely simple. There are two types of people: those who believe that ultimate reality is personal, or a Person, and those who believe that ultimate reality is impersonal. So my next question to you is: If you are a person how could you come from an impersonal 'ultimate reality'? Can a book be written without an author?
militant atheists is something people made up. Atheists do care about their imagination. It is our imagination that created all of our modern conveniences. Also, atheists don't care what people believe. We just don't like it when the religious try to hyjack science, our textbooks and our constitution. Once they stop that kind of shit, we'll stop rebelling against them.
It's so nice to listen to someone intelligent who is able to see the flaws in both sides of the argument... the very tired argument. I use to listen to you on Live365 and it got me through many a day at a very dull office.
if you would have actually take the time to study up on Dawkin's philosophy, you would realize that he thinks that EVERYONE is an agnostic, it's just in what direction, and to what extent.

I'm sorry but to suggest that Militant Atheist is a denial of right brain thought processes is absurd. Both religious and non-religious thinking involve both parts of the brain, you are simply ignoring aspects of both to make them fit your half-brained theory to sell books. Some of your dichotomies aren't even true, the left brain processes symbols(the written word is symbolism, duh) Risk taking is decided upon by both sides of the brain. You aren't a neurologist so don't pretend to be one...
@eggplnt Your mind is locked on the concept of god being something we can't see, smell, touch, taste or feel. For me, God is reality itself. You've been brainwashed to think about God in a certain way and that's why you are angry with me.
P.S. Humans continue to evolve and we've got a long way to go. Get over it. In this big universe, we are nowhere near the top of the ladder. It's the human species that is lame. Fortunately, some of us are more aware of this fact than others.
If for you god is reality why call it god? We already have a word for it, it's called "REALITY"
P.S. you have a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution if you think that evolution means that a species will natural become improved over time. Random mutation plus natural selection doesn't necessarily make us better just more apt for survival. Most of us don't have to struggle to survive so we are evolving slower. There is no "ladder" to speak of.
@ExistenceHappens And in the meantime, we as a species, capable of abstract thought, are thrusting ourselves into outer space and creating environs for ourselves to which we are not naturally inclined. We are the ones creating more and greater complexity for ourselves as well as the necessity to adapt to that complexity. That is the "ladder" I am referring to. "Improved?" That's purely subjective.
@RevJohn what we are doing wrong here is assuming that evolution for man is as it has been for every other species. Man evolves with man's inventions. as we go into space we do not have to literally adapt to the enviroments we encounter, because we are what we are we will create an artificial environment that we can survive in.
@rexmundi6 Wow. Creating artificial environments. Growing a new limb when one falls off (stem cells). Swallowing a pill that will extend our lives indefinitely. We are on the verge of doing these things and much more (the pill I spoke of already exists - just needs to be refined). Sounds pretty "godlike" to me.
@RevJohn Yes, very much so. and among the things that you have mentioned, we are also on the verge of creating an anti-matter reactor (although we are far from creating warp). On this subject might I recommend a book called Physics of the Impossible by Dr. Michio Kaku. i think you would find it interesting.
@RevJohn I have a question for you? Are you another athiest who believes that all religions are equally propbable as being true? Becayuse that is the BIGGEST misassumtion most athiests make. If you actually study religion ans see what religions are prophetically, Historically accurate and contain provable scienttific knowledge in their own text you narrow the list down to 2 religions Christianity and Judaism. (the bible (after Genisis) flows perfectly with the factual historical timeline.
Or is he trying to become a big fish in a very small pond?
I'll let you work that one out yourself.
Mr Allee, the 'most controversial figure in the occult community'...oh yes...the most divisive and revolutionary thinker in the occult world since Anton LaVey, we are waiting: what groundbreaking theory will you develop next?
P.S. I haven't actually read your book, mainly because I have a life to live.
I think you're missing the point of this vid. You did write 2 emotionally charged posts back-to-back while changing to the first person at the end to throw in a personal attack. Perhaps one should consider the 8th Satanic Sin, 'Counterproductive Pride' before bashing others and ....wait a minute...what is your fucking point, anyway? U don't like him, we get it. Are you mad at him for daring to say atheism is a belief system, or because he split with the CoS? or...?
And exactly in what way is my pride counterproductive? Well...apart from maybe a waste of a minute or two. But I don't consider my words wasted. I don't like to see false prophets garnering attention and abusing the name of Satanism.
As for your last question, I'm not necessarily 'mad' at him for (incorrectly) labelling atheism a belief system, it's just that I feel I can afford a couple of minutes to attack bullshit. My comments weren't brought about by an uncontrollable rage.
@wakeupbritain1@wakeupbritain1 Well, I can understand your feelings if you see him as a "false prophet" but I don't necessarily agree that he is defiling the name of Satanism. Also, atheism can definitely be a belief system when it is enforced as/like a religion. Any ideology can be used as a religion (control mechanism). We are only beginning to scratch the surface of reality - to say one knows everything about our minds' connections to the universe (reality) is foolhardy.
What is this mysterious belief system of atheism that is enforced like a religion? Secular humanism? Determinism? Physicalism? These positions are not necessary conditions for being an atheist.
And who's claiming to 'know everything about our mind's connection to the universe/reality' ? I'll assume you're not addressing me. Is this what you believe this "belief system of atheism" claims?
I think I'm starting to learn something about YOUR mind's connection to reality.
@wakeupbritain1 You're learning about my mind's connection? You sly devil! I am just saying that having a book in front of you (text or religious) then ignoring any observation(s) that are not explained in the book and labeling others who disagree as insane or stupid (ie heretics) is religion, no matter what name you use. 'Physicalism' is unquestioned by atheists and generally supported by shrinks - but not physicists (gee, i wonder why...).
I would like anybody intrigued by Mr Allee's alternative brand of Satanism to try something. First consider Anton LaVey's 7th Satanic Sin 'Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies.' Then consider RevJohn's attacks on the 'belief system of atheism' (not sure what belief 'system' he's referring to...but whatever) and his idea of 'apotheosis' and now ask yourself...has Mr Allee ever said anything that conflicts with or even particularly differs from LaVey's Satanism? ..continued...
Well interesting video. The thing I have to say is that I used to consider myself an atheist, but honestly I'd have to say that I am more of a non theist. I just simply have no religion because there are far too many to decide which is right, but also because I don't believe in a higher power. As far as atheism goes, it is also like a religion and I am still not sure if I believe in everything they teach either. Maybe people should just enjoy life--not worry about our origin or after life.
Erm...the language and his manipulation of "logic" and "reason" is reminiscent of cult leaders. It would also seem that a lot of the criticism is directed toward atheism.
"The next stage of human development"? Nice label. Who are you to say this is the "next stage"?
What's funny about Dawkins' Meme Theory is that it further validates Occultism. Memes are basically "Egregores" and "Servitors", which is a Western parallel of the "Tulpa" in Tibetan Mysticism. I wonder if any Atheists have realized that they can make their own "Memes" and have it help them with their lives. They'd be surprised. XD
if you question whether the Holy Bible is true or not, I suggest that you read the entire Holy Bible One of the things you will find is prophecies of future events. Some have already occurred some ate yet to occur. But according to my personal observations of the prophecies and my observations of the universe the Holy Bible is true.

@thejewishagnostic All perceptions imply belief because nothing we can perceive is absolute reality, as it is nothing more than a perception that exists entirely within our mind. We may realize that there is some truth to our perceptions, which this acknowledgement shows belief in the perception. Atheism which is the acknowledgement that there is some truth to the idea that there is no god, is in fact a belief.

@fungjungkung - I am an Atheist and you're description does not apply to me. My definition of Atheism is not a "belief". I DO NOT believe in leprechauns, fairies, vampires or gods. If someone tells me there is an invisible elephant in my living room that I cannot see, feel, hear, smell or taste, I have NO reason to believe it exists. That is my view of supernatural beings or gods. Lacking ANY evidence I have NO reason to view it any differently than the invisible elephant. Just clarifying : )

@lxAgnosticxl - Well,I am an ATHEIST and I don't let christians or agnostics define Atheism for ME. christians try to define it in a way that puts Atheists down, for example "Prove something doesn't exist" and then because you haven't travelled the entire universe they say, "Aha! You CAN'T prove it" but NO ONE can prove leprechauns DON'T exist and no one thinks that is a reason to believe in them. Read "Atheism: The case against god" by a REAL Atheist George H. Smith and get back to me.

How about letting the people who coined the phrase define it how they defined it!
Then you set up a complete straw man, i think there is evidence for God. But even if there wasn't the absence of evidence is only evidence of absence when we expect it to be there, Like a planet between Earth & Mars. I can think off of the top of my head atleast 2 or 3 reasons why God wouldn't provide evidence for his existance.
lxAgnosticxl 1 week ago
@lxAgnosticxl - O.K. then tell me what is the definition of this. A person who with 100% confidence knows god does NOT exist. Because that defines ME. That SHOULD be the definition of Atheist. In that case I will coin the phrase that defines me and then you will HAVE to agree because I coin the phrase Ultra-Atheist! Definition: One who is 100% confident that there is NO god or supernatural being of ANY kind. Thanks, I'll remember to give you partial credit in the future : )

100% That is an atheist, im sorry i thought you were defining atheism as simply the lack of belief, But you seem to agree its belief in the non existance of God (there is a difference) the atheist by your defining has a burdon of proof.
lxAgnosticxl 1 week ago
@lxAgnosticxl - Actually, that is how I WAS defining it and according to the Atheist scholars I ascribe to, that IS the proper definition. BUT, so many people use the definition of having to PROVE a negative to be an Atheist that I felt it was time to coin a phrase that is as un-ambiguous as possible for the sake of youtube comment debates (like this) that are too short to present a proper foundation. Still, if you are agnostic I highly recommend that book Atheism: The case against god.
djangothecat 1 week ago
@djangothecat
Ok i'll look up the book later, also i agree with your definition, but to say with 100% certainty you've got to do more than simply say theres no good evidence for God.
Do you know of any argument or evidence for the non existence of God?
lxAgnosticxl 1 week ago
@lxAgnosticxl - ALL of the evidence that I (and everyone for that matter) have ever seen points to the NON existence of god. Before going to the supernatural you MUST first exhaust ALL natural possibilities. For example, you come home and all of your furniture has been moved around. What is the FIRST thing you would think? Hopefully NOT a poltergeist did it. You would think someone came in and moved it. That is a simple example but you can apply that logic to every question, even the universe.

@betcommando Your belief in such silly superstition is adorable. Scientific method doesn't attempt to "measure" god, because there is no evidence to be quantified. There is no, and never has been, a single shred of evidence to support the idea that a creator of any kind exists.
Your beliefs are exactly as valid as a belief in Ra, Odin, Zeus, or Shiva... not valid at all.

Belief in God is subjective, and in most cases, having belief in a god, especially in a god that is invisible is illogical. But God cannot be subjected to logic because he is infinite. And infinity in itself is illogical. and that is why God cannot be detected by the scientific method.
God WILL EXIST regardless if we believe in him or not. God's existence is not dependent on the subject's belief. God existed before the universe existed!

I agree with most of what is said in the video, except for the notion that "believing" in the Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster can be dangerous in any way.
If you really can't figure out that the whole "religion" is satire, you got much bigger issues than the Pastafaris...

A lot have geniuses have been "big picture" thinkers who were also very linear thinkers. They may not have been conventionally religious, in fact many extremely religious people don't use much of either hemisphere, they just follow the beast in front of them. But you can be very right brained, subjective and a creative genius.

@CanadiaNecro1 Very good point! For example, you always hear of creative talents who become famous but need someone else to manage their money! And then they end up losing it all to someone untrustworthy.
RevJohn 9 months ago
@RevJohn That has happened to so many famous people in history. Buffalo Bill for example, got taken by a predatory carnival manager and had to work until he died to pay the balance. Bill was by all accounts an unusual and intelligent man. And Bert Einstein, he was the most famous genius in history, yet was quite disfunctional in some ways. Genius is never predictable, like the human brain.

We exist as a mirror of the universe. You need a male and female adult to pro-create to make another organism and the sperm cell and egg themselves need to meet to form the new being. We know that matter out in space is pro-created as well and that universes can be too. Everything comes from something else. We can look back at our own previous forms of energy. Each and everyone of us was once out there in outer-space as other concentrations of energy... conscious or not .
dylan111291 9 months ago
One thing i have to say regarding your thought on "god is all". It is quite obvious that the universe is an inorganic space of darkness speckled with energy. The universe is clearly not alive , there are organisms that inhabit the universe we happen to live in which would be us and the other species on this planet and maybe other possible organisms on other planets in the further reaches of our universe. I think we came from "Space Matter".
dylan111291 9 months ago
I think that the universe or multiverse is eternal and never ends but rather an eternal chain of universes coming in and out of existence just like organisms .

@RevJohn I know. I was just trying to sort in my own head, as usual, why people think religiously with just their right brain but fail to acknowledge that there is a possibility that they could be wrong and try to asks questions. I think when you are fully or mostly right brained it's hard to learn or question why things are the way they are because, and I'm going out on a limb here, they are told what they need to know in their holy books and forget the facts. & thank you for your comment back.

@RevJohn & I'm not trying to say that all religious people are fully right brained. Some are smart & use the left analytical part of their brain as well. I only said that because to me personally it seems that the majority, not the minority, of religious people are mostly right brained which causes cases of hate, extremism, & narrowmindedness. They focus so much on philosophy & religion that it becomes their life & be damned anyone who questions them or doesn't believe in whatever god they do.

Hello RevJohn! I love your views and videos! I am plagued by bad luck and misfortune and cannot seem to catch a break financially. I always have more money problems arising then I have income. I tried the "Jesus" route to no avail. I am totally against God and wish to sell my soul. Can you give me insight on how to do so and also how to communicate with the angels and the Devil to achieve what I hope and dream for. Thanks in advance. Please be specific for I know nothing of this subject.
sonnysugacane 1 year ago
@sonnysugacane I'm going to blunt because this is an area I've fully explored - signing pacts with angels or devils, etc... First off, what makes you think your soul is worth anything. If we were back in the Middle Ages where you would be killed for even THINKING of selling your soul, then the act of actually DOING it would have much more weight! But now, today, there are millions of people just like you who are eager and willing to sign themselves away. The forces that be aren't even interested

I feel down and out the way you do,. I am ugly and no one likes me. But I know that the Lord has a better life comming than this one. There are times when i also feel like I should give up on God.My wife betrayed me, I can't find a job, and everyone despises me. But I won't give up on Jesus because I know that one day he is going to have place for me in heaven and I will be ruling and reigning with him in his awesome kingdom. Trust Jesus and God will give you what you seek.

I'm an atheist, and I largely agree with you. I dislike militant atheism, because it's just another means of division. I do not care what someone believes; I only care that we have equal rights (which we currently don't). It infuriates me that this new generation of atheists attack agnostics and religious moderates. They are making things harder for everyone. If you respect a person, you must respect his right to believe what he pleases, so long as he does not impinge on the rights of others.
EucharistOfHypnos 1 year ago
Good point, but you are a bit prejusticed. You`re just assuming that all atheists are millitant anti-theists or denial of all spiritual possibilities. The case is however that atheism is about individualism and free thought, though there are some individuals here and there that are very afraid of new ideas and are prejudiced. But it is basicly a rebellion against political religion and nothing more. Many of them are very open-minded, just not to political religion like islam and xtianity.
unlyckystrike 1 year ago
@unlyckystrike Good point, unlycky. That's why I wish the atheists you mention would just call themselves "freethinkers" or something like that. I get your point about the need to rebel against political oppression... I feel it too. In fact, a lot of people calling themselves "Satanists" are doing the same thing - technically, they don't really worship the devil - they are just making a dramatic statement.
RevJohn 1 year ago
@RevJohn Yeah, but have you tried to debate many atheists then? Most of them are quite openminded. it`s just that they demand logic and evidence for things. Good arguments often serve as evidence, as the examples you brought up with the objective and subjective perceptions of reality and such. I read LaVey and I like many of his veiwpoints and I support atheism as well. But I don`t label myself in any of the camps, I`m an individualist so I don`t need the label(s) or any community :)

I can scientifically and logically prove the exsistance of One Eternal Creator.
I can prove this is the same God of Adam, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad pbut.
Simply by applying the attributes of God in the Old Testiment, new testiment, and final testiment Glorious Quran. To insure a clear definition of God, keep in mind God by definition is object of worship, and the God i have proved has unique attributes that only one entity can have and non are equal to God.
Nickspasic 1 year ago
@Nickspasic Not equal?? That's like saying your big toe isn't equal to your whole foot. But every single toe and bone and heel comprise that foot, so that's a silly argument. Science will prove that we are all part of the whole and woven into the fabric of existence, God is All. All is God. And the center of God is EVERYWHERE. Not above us, not below us, but with us.
RevJohn 1 year ago
@RevJohn God created all matter/ energy, The universe by definition is space-time, matter/energy, as you can see the universe is composed of time, and because we know the universe has a beginning we can conclude that the source of all matter/energy in the universe has to be eternal, or outside of time. and we can also conclude that God is all powerful because God created all matter/energy. I can continue to go in more depth but lack of room, God and the creation are 2 different things.
Nickspasic 1 year ago
@Nickspasic You were there in the beginning because you are God and you are eternal. I clearly understand what you are trying to say, but you are wrong. You are a living example of God being conscious of God, or God being "self-aware." All matter and energy is a direct expression of God. And like God, you have the ability to manipulate matter/energy any way you want, creating new forms of life. Man is on the verge of extending his physical life indefinitely - living forever. There is proof!

@RevJohn Impossible, its encoded in our DNA that we are going to age and die. Did humanity incode his own DNA.... Did you yourself make the sperm that is in your testies, did you yourself build the organs responsible for reproduction.. Of course not some argue it is evolutionary, regardless if its evolutionary or not we didnt make the choice, but was predetermined by God. God is the evolver, because God fine tuned the law's that Govern the universe which actually Governs your brain and thought.
Nickspasic 1 year ago
@Nickspasic The belief that God and Man (or Creation) is two separate things is the greatest, most insidious, awful thing that has ever plagued humankind. It allows for the belief in a "parent figure" somewhere in the cosmos that only "special people" can converse and relate to it. Well, I am here to tell you that the all encompassing intelligence within the universe is far too impersonal to care about you. It is like worrying over the tiny cells that live and die in your body every day!
RevJohn 1 year ago
@RevJohn "Special people"? We all have the ability to be amung those whom God has favored. Have you ever actually tried to obey all of Gods commandments, and you have submitted your will to God letting go of every atoms weight of arragence in your heart, and giving all credit were credit is due, which is God the creator of all matter/energy. Then you will see anything you pray for or need will come in time. Collectivly Humanity will never be able to break the law's God has set.

@RevJohn God by definition is object of worship. The only one worthy of worship is the one true creator who gave us life!
God is no were in the cosmose, no image or idol or anything we can comprehend in our mind is not God. God is beyond our comprehension, wich is why Faith is needed when it comes to fearing God and following Gods commands.
God is all powerful and can bless whom he is pleased with, or can cause to go astray those who earn his anger. God know's your choices.

Part 2:
We set up these religions to make us happy, to give us false hope for when we die, but life has no point. We are probably a piece of bacteria stuck on some kid's shoe in anther dimension, that we are something very small in a huge other world and that life begins and ends with no meaning. So u make life whatever you want it to be, and wait until your existence is finished. And that there is some force that created the universe that we could never possibly comprehend. Like what was before

Sorry i have a very long comment so i have to spread it into to parts....
Part 1:
This is a very interesting and informative video, indeed. I like what you say about believing in yourself and self deification, it is thoughtful and smart, but overall i think it is quite pointless. I have no religion i believe in, nor am i agnostic, quite frankly i don't care about religion; this is because of my theory on life. I think that the whole world, and universe is pointless.
DJTurboSolarium 1 year ago
@DJTurboSolarium Study Chemistry, Biology, Physic's, and you will see that in order to comprehend such subjects in depth we must use our intelligence to comprehend, we have to use our intelligence and gain knowledge in order to understand such subjects. We know for sure Physic's and its law's are true because we can observe, test, and reason using our Brain.
could such a universe full of logic, and the abilit to use our intelligence to comprehend it be proof of the intelligence that created it?

It does not matter who or how you achieve "godhood". As an Atheist, I do not believe in ANY "god, gods or supernatural authority". Even when mankind ascends after the Singularity and becomes godlike because they've merged with their machines, they will not be "gods". They will not have transcended the laws of physics. Also, as an Atheist, I use and abuse my imagination and intuition. I also understand them. I've never met a "militant atheist" before.

He will protect you

@RevJohn They actually both have already been created and like I said I think you are a very smart man just maybe deceived, I think you know more than a lot of Christians do about Satan and the Bible and Jesus, most satanists do. The church that I attend has a knowledge of deliverence from evil spirits.There are ex witches and satanists that have come to Christ because of their torment from Satan and his spirits, that help people like you. I am here for you If you want just contact me, love
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus What if I told you that the "evil spirits" exist only within the mind of the individual and they were put there by religion with its unnatural guilt, shame and fear. The external, archetypal form that you call "Satan" is neither good or evil and represents a dark aspect or quality of nature or God, if you will. One day, the chains will truly be broken and people will discover how the mind truly works and how nature works. Religion gives us the illusion of freedom.
RevJohn 1 year ago
@RevJohn You say what if you told me well I do not agree like I had already wrote in your email. Tell me this I forgot to ask when I had wrote you, when you send out your hex's or bindings, or spells, or curses, whatever it is you call them exactly how does it work? You see I think there is a spirit relhm that it sends out a an evil spirit or as you would call them your imaginary friends. When it is sent out, it is a curse you see you can either speak a curse or a blessing.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@RevJohn Okay now this is common sense here, okay when you speak a blessing which is literally a good thing it uplifts someone. For example I think you are a smart man, that uplifts you right? Now if I were to be religious or judgmental I would say you are wrong for what you are doing, you are a bad man, what does that do to you how does it make you feel? Probably not good right a bad feeling comes upon you that eith can make you mad, angry, hurt, whatever it is.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Love is not always good. Hate is not always evil. Sometimes love for the wrong reason can enable or encourage wrongful or destructive behaviors. Think of the woman who often gets beaten by her husband badly until she bleeds. The hospital calls the police who want to arrest him, but the wife says "No! I love him. Let him go!" And so, they go home together and one week later, the man kills his wife. Things like this happen more often than you know.

So that says that you know what your imaginary friends do and so do I.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus I call them guys demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits, ghosts, whatever you wanna call them.I know exactly how it works I got delivered from some in the name of Jesus. I felt them inside my body, it first starts with a thought you accept the thought agree with it and then it controls you whatever it is. If you have rage it first triggers something in your head then you act out and it usualy becomes physical.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus I am a christian so Satan wants me to backslide, I hear lots of thoughts I know are not my own, thoughts that are bad and if I agree I can feel them in my body. Pride for example will sit on my shoulders I will feel pain in my shoulders and neck that doesn't massage away, Just by pleading the blood of Jesus or changing my thought pattern on something posotive. Or depression I struggled with years ago would take over my body like a huge weight, it all starts with thoughts.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Also listen to this I have seen it with people that have been christians and then choose to to witchcraft instead, if the devil can get someone who has been saved to choose him that gives your guy more authority to send out your spells, hex's withcraft, spirits is really what they are, to other people that have open doors. Doesn't it make some sense people always get hit in their weaknesses. Never mind I do not know why I am telling you things you already know.

Some things in life we have to learn and when we don't they stay a weakness most things in life like habits can not be over come without Christ.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@RevJohn You see you can love for the wrong reasons and pay for it or you can set boundaries to protect yourself, for example my ex husband beat me, I saw my mom get beat, so I stayed, he cheated on me I stayed I loved him and forgave him, what I did was not put proper boundaries up so it kept happening, by me taking him in every time after taught him that it was okay, he had memories from him dad doing it to his mom so that is how he expressed love, I expressed it by being passive.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
Respond to this video..So by me being passive I harmed myself, and by not being healed form the past both of us unhealed we acted out in stupid ways, Now we both have been healed through Christ and deliverance from spirits and know have a knowledge of how to fight thoughts and to use the power over them through Christ. We are now friends we get along and help one another.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@RevJohn Now tell me what is it that you say when you say your spells? What is the spell for? What are you intentions? These are questions I would really like to know. I see it in a spirit rehlm when you speak a curse it sends out an evil/dark spirit which is not good to destroy someone and their life, when you speak a blessing it convicts them for what they did to you to make them see that they were wrong. See to send a curse then for them to send one back it just keeps working back and forth.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@RevJohn Did you know that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. I think we are all just looking for love for peace and we keep fighting and trying to get revenge and it is never satisfying that we live our whole life doing it it is called insanity. Now I believe that Jesus is the way to true freedom and he gives a compete peace, because I have tried almost every other way there is to try. To feel his love and presence there is nothing like it.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@RevJohn So that is why I believe the way that I choose. I am just saying like I have already said, to show you another way if you ever decide you would like peace or a change. I hope the best for you in your life!!!
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@Chainsbrokenbyjesus What if I told you that spirits are just like people? Even the ones you think of as evil are sometimes good! Also, just as I pointed out to you that people can LOVE for all the wrong reasons, people can HATE for all the wrong reasons. You are trying to put me on Satan's side of the fence, and this is where you are very wrong. You also think of yourself as the "good guy"
RevJohn 1 year ago
@RevJohn Satan will lie and show himself as good, and also tell the truth if it will edify and build his kingdom. Jesus is forgiving, but if you are used as a door mat then it is a different, like a woman getting beat over and over, if she had the holy spirit she would have been revealed what she should have done.It really happens that way the holy spirit becomes your concious. I do not see you as a bad guy I see you in the image of God you are beautiful, I may not agree with you on some things.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
@RevJohn And I think evil spirits are like people the get in people in there head sometimes in their body. See I think the right reason to love is what the bible says, love forgives,gives,unselfish, not proud, ect. If I love like this with boundaries so I do not get used and walked on then it is for the right reasons. If I hate for the wrong reasons then I need to forgive. If you would like to debate on this further give me an example please of what you mean.
Chainsbrokenbyjesus 1 year ago
Things in the bible that were foretold are coming to pass and you can see them in revelation in the back of the bible things are coming true things that are obvious, and world peace was never promised by God just individually inside, the world is going to get worse, it is a Christians job to bring people to Christ, by healing the oppressed, raising the dead, and casting out demons. So people go to heaven and become friends of Jesus to make more friends of Jesus.

as a life-long grand mal epileptic, this intrigues me a lot. I'm sure any religious nut will not like this. Simply due to 'em thinking everyone must think like them...or else. Common sense & reality proves that they are wrong. So do the Founding Fathers.

Respond to this video... Also about what you said about peace. That is no where in the "bible" World peace no, peace inside knowing that your life is taken care of by one who knows how to handle bad things that may come our way, which is Jesus, call it brain washing whatever you want. But I feel great and I have hope and faith and I love what I walk through every day and I am very thankful.

@Chainsbrokenbyjesus Your numerous posts to my videos proves that you are bothered by something. I have made you think. Perhaps you will learn one day that God helps those who help themselves and that saying the word "Jesus, Jesus" all the time doesn't make you holy or keep you safe. Right now, I feel you are in denial about many things, but even that will change in time.

@RevJohn I am not bothered I just stay at home and work part time so I just like to express my opinion, just like you do. I don't think it is wise or smart to assume, what someone may be thinking. I does bother me a little that you can assume what I am thinking because I type a lot and that I try to answer all your questions and do not answer mine. And yes God does require people to use common senses and to help there selves but he does help those who are broken and need him.

@RevJohn I would also like to know what it is you think I am in denial about, you wrote many things please let me know those things. And I agree I cannot go around saying Jesus and expect God to keep me safe even though there are people who do do that. I believe what keeps me free which is I am sanctified through Christ and blameless, without sin. As long as I am doing the best I can, repenting if I do sin, turn from it I am sanctified, which means pure and holy because Jesus died for sin.

@RevJohn I would also like to say that it isn't a set of rules I go by. Jesus is my friend and my helper, it is not the old school religion. People get Christianity mixed up they go around acting like the bible says satan acts, condemning everyone for what they do wrong, Instead of loving like Jesus did and does. That is what it is about Jesus and the way he loves.

I think this video has some good substance for those who truly just don't get it - those of us who are on either side of the brain. When it comes down to it, for me it's extremely simple. There are two types of people: those who believe that ultimate reality is personal, or a Person, and those who believe that ultimate reality is impersonal. So my next question to you is: If you are a person how could you come from an impersonal 'ultimate reality'? Can a book be written without an author?

militant atheists is something people made up. Atheists do care about their imagination. It is our imagination that created all of our modern conveniences. Also, atheists don't care what people believe. We just don't like it when the religious try to hyjack science, our textbooks and our constitution. Once they stop that kind of shit, we'll stop rebelling against them.

I'm sorry but to suggest that Militant Atheist is a denial of right brain thought processes is absurd. Both religious and non-religious thinking involve both parts of the brain, you are simply ignoring aspects of both to make them fit your half-brained theory to sell books. Some of your dichotomies aren't even true, the left brain processes symbols(the written word is symbolism, duh) Risk taking is decided upon by both sides of the brain. You aren't a neurologist so don't pretend to be one...

P.S. Humans continue to evolve and we've got a long way to go. Get over it. In this big universe, we are nowhere near the top of the ladder. It's the human species that is lame. Fortunately, some of us are more aware of this fact than others.

@RevJohn
If for you god is reality why call it god? We already have a word for it, it's called "REALITY"
P.S. you have a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution if you think that evolution means that a species will natural become improved over time. Random mutation plus natural selection doesn't necessarily make us better just more apt for survival. Most of us don't have to struggle to survive so we are evolving slower. There is no "ladder" to speak of.

@ExistenceHappens And in the meantime, we as a species, capable of abstract thought, are thrusting ourselves into outer space and creating environs for ourselves to which we are not naturally inclined. We are the ones creating more and greater complexity for ourselves as well as the necessity to adapt to that complexity. That is the "ladder" I am referring to. "Improved?" That's purely subjective.

@RevJohn what we are doing wrong here is assuming that evolution for man is as it has been for every other species. Man evolves with man's inventions. as we go into space we do not have to literally adapt to the enviroments we encounter, because we are what we are we will create an artificial environment that we can survive in.

@rexmundi6 Wow. Creating artificial environments. Growing a new limb when one falls off (stem cells). Swallowing a pill that will extend our lives indefinitely. We are on the verge of doing these things and much more (the pill I spoke of already exists - just needs to be refined). Sounds pretty "godlike" to me.

@RevJohn Yes, very much so. and among the things that you have mentioned, we are also on the verge of creating an anti-matter reactor (although we are far from creating warp). On this subject might I recommend a book called Physics of the Impossible by Dr. Michio Kaku. i think you would find it interesting.

@RevJohn I have a question for you? Are you another athiest who believes that all religions are equally propbable as being true? Becayuse that is the BIGGEST misassumtion most athiests make. If you actually study religion ans see what religions are prophetically, Historically accurate and contain provable scienttific knowledge in their own text you narrow the list down to 2 religions Christianity and Judaism. (the bible (after Genisis) flows perfectly with the factual historical timeline.

Or is he trying to become a big fish in a very small pond?
I'll let you work that one out yourself.
Mr Allee, the 'most controversial figure in the occult community'...oh yes...the most divisive and revolutionary thinker in the occult world since Anton LaVey, we are waiting: what groundbreaking theory will you develop next?
P.S. I haven't actually read your book, mainly because I have a life to live.

I think you're missing the point of this vid. You did write 2 emotionally charged posts back-to-back while changing to the first person at the end to throw in a personal attack. Perhaps one should consider the 8th Satanic Sin, 'Counterproductive Pride' before bashing others and ....wait a minute...what is your fucking point, anyway? U don't like him, we get it. Are you mad at him for daring to say atheism is a belief system, or because he split with the CoS? or...?

@defexorcist
And exactly in what way is my pride counterproductive? Well...apart from maybe a waste of a minute or two. But I don't consider my words wasted. I don't like to see false prophets garnering attention and abusing the name of Satanism.
As for your last question, I'm not necessarily 'mad' at him for (incorrectly) labelling atheism a belief system, it's just that I feel I can afford a couple of minutes to attack bullshit. My comments weren't brought about by an uncontrollable rage.
wakeupbritain1 1 year ago
@wakeupbritain1 @wakeupbritain1 Well, I can understand your feelings if you see him as a "false prophet" but I don't necessarily agree that he is defiling the name of Satanism. Also, atheism can definitely be a belief system when it is enforced as/like a religion. Any ideology can be used as a religion (control mechanism). We are only beginning to scratch the surface of reality - to say one knows everything about our minds' connections to the universe (reality) is foolhardy.

What is this mysterious belief system of atheism that is enforced like a religion? Secular humanism? Determinism? Physicalism? These positions are not necessary conditions for being an atheist.
And who's claiming to 'know everything about our mind's connection to the universe/reality' ? I'll assume you're not addressing me. Is this what you believe this "belief system of atheism" claims?
I think I'm starting to learn something about YOUR mind's connection to reality.
wakeupbritain1 1 year ago
@wakeupbritain1 You're learning about my mind's connection? You sly devil! I am just saying that having a book in front of you (text or religious) then ignoring any observation(s) that are not explained in the book and labeling others who disagree as insane or stupid (ie heretics) is religion, no matter what name you use. 'Physicalism' is unquestioned by atheists and generally supported by shrinks - but not physicists (gee, i wonder why...).

I would like anybody intrigued by Mr Allee's alternative brand of Satanism to try something. First consider Anton LaVey's 7th Satanic Sin 'Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies.' Then consider RevJohn's attacks on the 'belief system of atheism' (not sure what belief 'system' he's referring to...but whatever) and his idea of 'apotheosis' and now ask yourself...has Mr Allee ever said anything that conflicts with or even particularly differs from LaVey's Satanism? ..continued...

Well interesting video. The thing I have to say is that I used to consider myself an atheist, but honestly I'd have to say that I am more of a non theist. I just simply have no religion because there are far too many to decide which is right, but also because I don't believe in a higher power. As far as atheism goes, it is also like a religion and I am still not sure if I believe in everything they teach either. Maybe people should just enjoy life--not worry about our origin or after life.

Erm...the language and his manipulation of "logic" and "reason" is reminiscent of cult leaders. It would also seem that a lot of the criticism is directed toward atheism.
"The next stage of human development"? Nice label. Who are you to say this is the "next stage"?

What's funny about Dawkins' Meme Theory is that it further validates Occultism. Memes are basically "Egregores" and "Servitors", which is a Western parallel of the "Tulpa" in Tibetan Mysticism. I wonder if any Atheists have realized that they can make their own "Memes" and have it help them with their lives. They'd be surprised. XD
