@foreverbriannaslove5 yeah sure, knock yourself out, Dan Dennett celebrates the hell out of Christmas, I do to. Atheism is not an obligation to take any particular stance or swear off any particular ritual.
Do you know what really bugs me, If people cant handel hearing other peoples opinions then they really should not watch a video named 50 Reasons People Give For Believing in a God, If you are going to get offended use your brain and go to a video thats named god is real or something
@alexandruthegreat95 The earth came from an amalgamation of space rock that formed around our sun when it formed. Your question about "who" created trees, animals, flowers and humans is in invalid question as you are putting the assumption that "someone" made them into your question. There is ZERO evidence that any of those things were specially created by anyone or anything. The evidence points to those things developing though natural processes.
@TheAnubisDrake Hmmm...well what about humans? In my opinion it doesn't make sense that through natural process the complex human body was made. For every creation there is a creator.
@alexandruthegreat95 Again with that biased question. You are again assuming in your question that humans had a creator. That has in no way been indicated by the evidence. Like it or not we are apes in every way.
Irreducible complexity (the only real argument intelligent design ever even for a moment had in its favor) was refuted in "The Origin of Species" by Darwin himself. It has been proven wrong several times in several different experiments from the bacterial flagellum to the human eye.
@TheAnubisDrake Didn't Darwin, on his death bed, claim he made it all up and non of it was true ? Also, what evidence do we have of us being apes? I haven't studied in depth evolution so I honestly want to know. And then Science has already proved that there was a great flood years ago, and in the Bible it talks about a great flood. So it was nice having this discussion but I remain...unmoved! :)
@alexandruthegreat95 Darwin recanting is kind of a legend. I have never seen a source for it.
Evidence for us being apes is the fact that we are apes. Everything about us screams ape. The only things different are our brain size, the positioning of our pelvis for upright walking and how little hair we have. Otherwise we are identical.
@alexandruthegreat95 Same location of extremities, same facial features (ours deformed a bit from the cranial growth), nails instead of claws, same internal organs and same positioning of those organs, (for omnivores) same kinds and similar numbers of teeth in the same positions, same expressions and reactions for many of the same stimuli, apes can be taught human forms of communication, and on and on and I didn't even get into the skeletal or DNA structure.
@alexandruthegreat95 No reputable scientist has ever claimed there was a global flood. Many "Christian Scientists" have taken evidence of different floods happening in different locations at around the same time and claiming they are evidence of a global flood. When at other locations around the world at the same depth there is no evidence of flooding. This is a case of the religious trying hard to make it look like science when it is clearly not.
@TheAnubisDrake What about the end times? The Bible talks about the signs of the end times. Floods and earth quakes and wars...it's happening and one day Jesus Christ is going to prove that to the world.
@alexandruthegreat95 All 3 of the things you just listed as signs of the end times have been happening every single day throughout human history. That is not evidence of a creator it is evidence of human idiocy.
@TheAnubisDrake There are other signs, (and yes there have been little flood here and there, bust out the Bible maybe you'll understand) but honestly if you don't have an open mind about it then there's absolutely no way of convincing you. You want proof...the only proof I can give you is of my experience and my families testimony. I could say soooo much more about this but I know it wont make a dent it that hard head of yours. I'm not being rude I'm speaking the truth.
@TheAnubisDrake "human idiocy" ya....and yes even you can't deny what I've said will make any difference, you're set in your ways and so am I. I'm hard headed just like you! I do enjoy my book full of guidance and wisdom thank you :)
@TheAnubisDrake Well I talked to my Pastor tonight and a family who used to worship Allah and now that tiny seed of confusion planted in my brain is squashed! So thanks it's been entertaining, have a good life :)
@alexandruthegreat95 You have accused me of being close minded when I have shown you at least half a dozen ways your bible is wrong and now you refuse to hear anymore.
I think it would be plain to anyone reading this conversation who is being closed minded.
I wish for you to read your bible for yourself. Then seek to prove it right with all you have, not just what others tell you. Then may you see for yourself what I have.
We don't base ourself on ignorance at all, you do. You assert there is a God without any proof at all. We don't need any proof at all for our position, cause we don't assert anything, so where is the blind faith in that? As much as where is the blind faith for not blieving in a fliying spaghetti monster? If there is truly an all powerful and absolute moral God, Im sure he will prefer much my intellectual honesty than a hypocritical belief to gain something out of him
just ecknowleg that religion plays with the psychological sode of human and spme time man had psychological blocage that stop them to think and reason wright so if you want to confront religious poeple well play on their own ground to push their reasonning to be unlock .like i said to a friend i love you and respect you to muche to let you belive in such a fary tale and an nonsence belive
@forehand27 On top of that why should i fake a belief in your god and not judaism/islam/buhdism/mormon/sceintology/LDS/catholic/anglican/protestant/greekorthodox/moari god/aboriginal god/aztec god/etc/etc?
I need to fake a belief according to u or else face eternal torture, how do i decide which one to fake a belief in? or shud i just go to my parents religon? shud i just be a musliim?
@forehand27 "God you gave me a brain to think with, you gave me logic, you gave me reason and yet did not provide enough evidence for me to believe"
Why would god set me up to fail? thats basically what your saying, God created me in such a way that i can't believe in him and he will punish me for that? Ive been to church for 18yrs, read the bible, prayed, tried and yet still i hear and feel nothing, bt god wants me to fake belief? Im gonna be punished for being honest?
OMG .. lol .. atheist are the lest trusted .. and hated .. im a very good person and i know loads and loads and loads of other atheists that are the same .. and there trust worthy too .. i hate the fact that these religious people say these horrible thing and just shows how fucked up there beliefs are .. ??
When an Athiest dies they must in blind faith trust there is no God that they will be accountable to. They must have faith in their disbelief that there is no Hell. They must be able to say, that without a shadow of doubt there is no God of the Bible. After all, you're betting your eternal life on it. .
The guest said "you should embrace ignorance". That a scary thing to say after saying there is no God. Don't try the ignorant card on God after death; by then it will be too- late.
@forehand27 And what about those who value evidence over faith? It isn't a matter of having enough faith for them to disbelieve, its a matter of a lack of evidence to come to the conclusion that there is a God, either the one outlined in the Bible or otherwise, and the same problem to come to the conclusion that there is a Hell. So what evidence can you provide for the claims of God or Hell?
@forehand27 If 'god', the supreme being that knows all, and understands all, doesn't understand that why I don't believe in him, especially what happens on THIS earth, doesn't understand why I don't trust writings of text that was written long ago, then he is not worth being called a 'god', nor a god worth acknowledging, or worshipping.
@forehand27 And anyone who believes in the Judeo-Christian God must have blind faith that any OTHER god from any OTHER holy text doesn't exist or THEY will also go to hell.
God never said that if you believe on me I will save you from all the bad things that go on in this world. To the contrary, He said "the rain will fall on the just and unjust equally". If you were to read the Old Testament you would find that even God's chosen people (the Jews) were punished and killed for their continual disobedience to God.
Christianity is a faith in a living God known by the Holy Spirit who lives in us. This is something a non-believer cannot understand.
Sir i'm afraid to inform you that your "connection" with the lord is brought upon by a state of mind that is skewed by the false teachings of the Christian faith. I can appreciate the morals taught by the organized religions. But it is people like you that make Christians look bad, your bias opinions and blunt accusations that we don't understand are wrong, we understand. And what we understand is that sadly you're crazy. You think that "God" talks to you, enough said.
That was awesome. Guy Harrison seems to be the most compassionate, thoughtful atheistic author out there. I can't wait to read his book. Hear him again on Secular Nation podcast #22.
The fact that so many had experience with the invisible but with sometimes contradictory explanations was only more proof of the existence. Yes the hypotheses until more evidence found faced lots of scrutiny. If a statue is placed in the middle of the room and we each draw it the best we can, we will all have a slightly different vantage point & drawing - some drawings may even appear to be completely different statues.To get the best view we need to include all views-for 3D all we need are 2
The speaker tries to make the point that because each religion is convinced of it's own Gods reality that this just shows that the whole lot is an inaccurate trail. For thousands of years different people described the reality of air, wind, fire, gravity, atomos, ether, heat, energy in different terms. Some were way off, some were on to something, but all or most had experienced the reality of these invisible items. Even today scientist can't completely agree on the nature of matter we can see
There is something in the human spirit which reaches out to its' creator. Yes we as a people can't determine how exactly He is. With so many people and religions, it can be confusing and disheartening, but don't let the differences let you give up. We can see that most religions are saying the same general thing and for God to exist, we don't have to all be in agreement & it's ok for no one to have the perfect doctrine.Gods 2 big for us to get it rt - just like finding out mysteries of science.
@EVERYONE.. HERE IS A TEST! 1.call on the name of Jesus and pay close attention to yourself! 2.do u feel any anger? do u feel disgusted and think of all the foolish nerves of people like me for trying to force my beliefs? of course u do! 3. do u feel like this about anything else?..... Well i submit to you all, that u should examine the source of all the anger that comes from within! 1. Ever think maybe its not u? 3. ever think that it was something or someone controlling & deceiving u?B-HONEST
as the Kabalists say, in abscondito, can only be judged by the profane through her appearance, and that appearance is always deceitful on the physical plane. On the other hand, the naturalists refuse to blend physics with metaphysics, the body with its informing soul and spirit, which they prefer ignoring.
no my friend. no offense to you at all, but the Lord reveals himself to me regularly. my faith is no Pastor-based, no is it mentor-based. There is no religion in whom I've come to know as Jesus Christ, only a personal relationship. And how can i speak so confidently, because less than a year ago I was making remarks just like you if not worse. I am 19, i had everything anybody could wish for, every girl u could ask for, but i gave it up when he chose me and calld me according to his purpose.
dude ..if god is real..youare fucked....if god isnt real who gives a fuck ? and..let me ask why do you give a fuck...do u think all these people who believe u will some how tell everyone that youa re the man with all the answers,,that u are the most intelligent man alive? fuck off...u are so sad why do u do this there are millions of people who dont even listent ot his shit ,,get a hobby or tell u what,,,go fucking kill your self and post us a message when ur burning in hell
@511211 - Wow, what an angry person you are. God's love just pours out of you doesn't it? If you're the sort of person they'll let in to heaven I think I'll give it a miss!
@511211 I'm guessing you have all the answers then? I never said god is real. I'm just asking questions. You seem like a pretty pissed off person. Some people always get all pissed and jump to conclusions. I THINK that god is real, I don't KNOW for certain. I'm asking those that say that god DOES NOT EXIST for their proof. I am looking for the truth, that is all. So chill out, and say something intelligent. That would be more constructive.
@511211 Man, why come with voilence and hellfire, if you believe in your god, Then just believe dont hate because they dont, live and let live thats all you need to do, if you dont agree then dont watch. I would hope that you take your ideas(like any other ideas), and think about them.Dont use them as a reason for hate and violence, just go by the love you preach, and ill go by the love that i find on my own, If there is a god then i hope he can forgive those like you who use faith for hate.
@511211 i kno u are a beautiful person, and u are reaching out even with saying i wil burn in hel, thats fine, i really hope the best for you, i gain no profit by reaching out to ppl on youtube whom i've never met, i gain no profit, i gain no money, i gain no partnership, i simply want the best for you based on what i kno, so all in all, i hopeyou can forgive me if ive offended you, if you want to continue to curse my name, by all means, curse it, but i will continue to love u, and pray 4 u.
Or rather than say "forced concern" I should say "false humility." You're coming on too strong and too frequently to be taken seriously. Your condescension is implied if not blatantly evident. Just stop it with the head-in-the-clouds manner of speaking.
@dhx84 aha! u hit it! rite on the head! with the uh..'head-in-the-clouds manner' yes you see. becuz uh. my head. it is in the clouds. because i understand that uh. Jesus REIGNS!(rains) and uh.. the 'condescension' or 'condensation' rather. that you speak about. it is now FALLING directly on ur head! and its a bit hard for u to not get hit by a drop! unfortunately (for u) since i have a direct connection with the Lord! i'm as happy as can be, and you can't hurt my feelings! I LOVE UUUUUUUUUUU!
My point is that you're annoying other people for what amounts to a thing you're doing because of you. I know that Christians nominally think the rest of us will burn eternally and that you coming on here and talking to us is your duty.
Frankly, it's insulting. And you're not really all that good at the convincing part. Kindly piss off.
@JMontyOfficialPage You think you are so much more morally superior because you say "I love you" to everyone, it makes you feel like your "perfect morality" must be true. What you don't realize is that your love is very meaningless, indeed you just say it to everyone for no reason, so it doesn't make anyone feel any good at all to hear you say that, it's stupid. On my side however, people appreciate my love, it's not blind love, it has a true meaning, I spread more love than you in the end
@SageTheAtheist "LOL It IS real Christian of him actually.... it would be even more Christian of him to torture you to death for not believing! ;-) .:-§-:." LOL LOL LOL, good one STA !!!!
God=fake? How do you KNOW? That's like me saying God=real. I think you can agree that you don't KNOW for sure. Just like I don't. I enjoy the debate, I'm not trying to be a thorn in peoples ...
@zonnic1 The special theory of relativity hinges on the assumption that the speed of light is constant, in a one way direction, between any two points A and B. But that strictly CAN NOT BE PROVEN. We have to ASSUME that, in order to hold to the theory. "You are much too certain to be a true man of science". Science also cannot PROVE how the universe came to be. Big bang? Contract and expand cycles? Apparently, using your logic, the creation of our universe is a lie. Nice try though.
@realest114 "You don't believe in a higher being but you have no proof of it.You are no different than the religious people next door." LOL are you fucking retarded? Are you seriously saying that I need proof that a non-existent entity does NOT exist? What you're saying is that if I decided to agree with believers I would still be as ridiculous as I am for not believing! Look, I am not making a magical claim here. I don't believe in thousands of gods just like Christians,I just go one god more.
@SageTheAtheist LOL are you fucking retarded? Are you seriously saying that your a fucking idiot and you have no idea what the fuck you're saying but you're still talking because you're a dumb ass. Oh btw there is no such thing as an open-minded atheist. You close-minded pieces of shit. Atheist have tried to take over the world such as Hitler, Stalin, ect...but have failed and i wonder why..
@realest114 Yes, because every Atheist tries to take over the world and everyone who has tried to take over the world is Atheist. *sarcasm in case you couldn't tell*
I'm positive that Atheists aren't the close-minded pieces of shit. Religious people are so set on believing that there is a god that they won't listen to reason and they ignore all the facts that prove there is no god. Religious people just want to feel like they're special and that some god out there that loves them.
My friend, when faced with "Atheist have tried to take over the world such as Hitler, Stalin..." as an argument for god - you KNOW that going any further with the discussion would be a waste of your words, time and energy. These words represent a level of ignorance that is almost beyond repair...
@SageTheAtheist exactly the theists are the ones making the claims so the responsibility of proof lies on them... also we cant prove the existence of fairies either so does that mean they exist?
@realest114-Exactly my point. If we're supposed to be these evil, completely immoral, heathen atheists, seems like the believer would practice what he preaches.
Instead, you're being are being amazingly hypocritical by preaching Christianity with your hate, cursing and intolerant stupidity.
Another thing, "OMFG" is blasphemy. That breaks the 3rd Commandment.
Also, your grammar is pathetic. At least show that Christians are not illiterate idiots by talking and spelling like a 7 year old.
@besidemymind I dont think i ever said that i'm a Christian? Where are you getting these information? What i don't get about you Atheists is you think you are so smart when really you are as dumb as a rock.
@realest114- Ok, you're not a christian. But my point still stands, you're an illiterate moron.
And, well, let's face it; studies have shown atheiss are more educated and literate than theists. So, if you could, prove your claim about atheists beinng "as dumb as a rock."
@realest114 - How many athiests have ever killed anyone because of their beliefs? How many millions of people have died because a God demanded their sacrifice? You are one of the dumbest shits I've ever seen on here. Religious people are the most evil people on the planet. I don't know one athiest that would want you dead just for not believing their ideas. If there is a God, he probably thinks you're a cunt too!
@rickgut2004 We can say that because the burden of proof is on the believer. Thats like you saying "how do you know Santa Clause isn't real"? Common Sense my friend.
Check out near death experience videos here on youtube. Some very interesting stuff about afterlife.. wether or not you "believe" in that sort of thing. Check this video out too "A DYING MANS LAST WORDS, A MESSAGE FROM GOD". The guy IS ON HIS DEATHBED and says he saw hell!
@rickgut2004 LOL every says they see something my cousin had a near life death experience where his heart stopped while he was in surgery he said he saw nothing he couldnt tell the difference between him sleeping and being alive until he woke up. People try to cling to some kind of hope that they are special.
@lilsm555 Maybe he wasn't dead enough LOL Cardiac arrest is when you stop breathing + no heartbeat + no brain activity. Just cause his heart stopped doesn't mean he was dead LOL technically speaking.. Not everyone that goes into cardiac arrest has an NDE.. I just trip out on NDE's and how peoples stories are very often quite similar. If I die and that's the end of that... then cool.. I won't give a rats ass cause I'll be dead :)
@lilsm555 Your sitting on a water covered rock floating in space, traveling at 18.5 miles/sec!, and spinning at 1,040 miles/hr. Life was born from non life (dust).. the big bang came from nothingness.. I think you can agree that reality is very strange. YOUR SITTING IN SPACE FLOATING ON A ROCK! I would ask you not to be so closed minded. I'm not saying God exists, I'm just saying that anything is possible. Think about it.
@rickgut2004 - People out of their mind on pain medication say a lot of crazy shit. Hell was invented to ensure douche bags give all their money to the church. How many gold candlesticks and goblets do you think God needs? It's all a massive con. There's more books out there than the bible, try reading some
@qwijibo1 "Out of their mind on pain medication"?? Many near death experiences happen with no medical care involved at all. An example: a young person drowned, and is resuscitated by friends. NO MEDS used, and still has an experience. If I were you, I would have said "lack of oxygen to the brain causes people to do/see/hear weird things". Many people have a very similar NDE.. why would we develop this during evolution? Maybe, the separation of mind from body is to help reduce bodily pain?
@qwijibo1 Than again, this wouldn't make sense. Pain was developed to tell out body to STOP doing whatever we are doing to cause pain. Pain is there to help us protect our body. If we did not have pain, you could break a bone in your leg, then go out and run a mile until your broken bone broke through the surface of you skin...etc. Pain is good. And some people are not in pain when they are dieing (because of meds, loss of consciousness). So, there goes that argument.
@qwijibo1 Lookup "blind NDE" on youtube. Watch that with an opened mind and tell me what you think. If you have something that you would like me to read/view that you think makes a strong suggestion to no god, point me to it, and I will check it out with an opened mind.
@rickgut2004 - It couldn't possibly be just a dream he's experienced then? Everyone's entitled to their own beliefs and if this video helps you then all the best to you. Go with God and I'll go with science and we'll both be happy.
@qwijibo1 "A dream HE"S having"? It was a she.. I'm guessing you didn't watch the video. Isn't it interesting that all of these people are having the same dream? And some of these dreams are happening when people have NO brain activity. Also, science doesn't know what happens to you after this body dies. Science can tell you that the body is dead, but doesn't know if there is a part of your energy that continues to exist.
@rickgut2004 This is a BIOLOGICAL reaction that takes place in the brain when one is dying. Everything from the light people see to the loved one's can ALL be explained through science and biology. That's why they are NEAR death experiences and not after death experiences.

If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people.
Extremist: does not equal Religion. Instead of listening to this guy praise HIS own book and glorifying himself for being 'non-judgmental'..., look into history, find out for yourself, read the Bible if your a Christian and work it out for yourself!! Don't follow the crowd!!! Which also means, don't follow someone poo pooing the 95% of people who do believe in God or 18,000 youtube videos opinions on religion!!! Be an individual!! <3 Ta! ;-)
@LelaPhern - You're right......extremist doesn't equal religion, religion equals extremist. You are just one massive contradiction. Athiests don't follow crowds, they leave them, read books and decide for themselves. The bible is much like you, full of contradictions. Not sure how accurate your 95% is but I guess a good 90% of that figure is made up of people from third world countries who don't know any better. There's no individuals in religion, only sheep, very dangerous sheep!
There's a difference between not believing in God and being immoral or amoral, just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean you will go around killing people, robbing banks, kidnapping and this kind of stuff, it's absurd how some people can think that just because you think different it makes you some kind monster.
Now I believe in a God that's everything, the sheet of life, not the bible's God, I see myself in a society that needs me as a important part of them, why? Because I can help other people, instead of telling them to go pray at some church.
The Vatican is extremely rich, and there's a lot of secret documents there that you're forbidden to access (don't believe? Go there try it out, i'm not fallacious).
It's so sad that people will stick to their innocence of believing in their God (their shield to the truth). They will do anything necessary to fight agains people who don't, they will opress them, mistreat, we atheists have to endure this every time we say that we don't believe in God, it's our choice, saying that we are evil for that is a pathetical affirmation.
Look how many atheists where killed by the church. They did it in the name of God, blindly, but did God ever tell them to do so?
IM A LAWIST (AND I LEFT CAP LOCK ON TO PISS OF CHRISTIANS) LAWISM IS THE BELIEF THAT "GOD" DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE ACTIONS BETWEEN HUMANS AND HUMANS ARE LIVING UNDER A FEW BASIC SCIENCTIFIC LAWS,
BOTH SPIRTUAL (NOT THE BULLSHIT SPIRTUAL) AND PHYSICAL LAWS WITHOUT "DIVINE INTERVENTION". LAW OF ATTRACTION, GRAVITY, ALLOWING, DETACHMENT, RELATIVITY, ETC. WE DONT BELIEVE IN MESSAGERS OR PROPHETS JUST LAWS WE LIVE BY. JOIN US ! >:-O
There is no believer in God that had not experienced God in his life. All believers experienced God. You can ask them all.
When I was in the mercy of some none believers and they were trying to skin me off, I asked God for help because I had no other choice and he helped me out the way that I could not even think of it. After that experience I became a believer , Before that I was a none believer.
And since I become a believer,God is helping me all times. What is wrong with my believe?
@Liverhawk25 If more than one person sees someone commit a crime then that testimony is good enough to stand in a court of law by itself. No scientific testing, no microscopes. But you need more don't you fool? Why don't you just call me a liar and be done with it? Or maybe i imagined all of it. You still have not commented on my personal experience but you keep talking. Then I concede fool! Good luck on the changing of your heart and how your mind perceives information.
@Liverhawk25 By the way I despise religion. It is as evil as anything else in the world. (Wait...how can he believe in the supernatural and miracles and hate religion?) I guess you will have to look OUTSIDE yourself for that answer. But wait...the answer is within you! I guess you will never know the answer. Get the point?? Probably not!
@Liverhawk25 PROBABLY NOT! You know why? Because you are not as smart as you think and you keep speaking on subjects you don't know. All that garble about a thousand year old book and what it says and killing and molesting and that whole paragraph that you are not positive about shows that you live your life by what others say but you talk about the capacity to feel good about yourself is in you. Well if it is all in you why ask any questions at all? Sounds like you know it all.
@Liverhawk25 BECAUSE OF THAT BIAS I KEEP REPEATING MYSELF AND YOU KEEP NOT UNDERSTANDING, AND YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; NOT UNTIL YOU CHANGE!!!! And have you considered that maybe I'm right because i have insight into a reality that you don't know anything about. But wait; that would take some kind of faith on your part wouldn't it? My goodness I don't think you will ever see a miracle in your state buddy. But wait I've said that before haven't I? Just figured if I said it again you would get it!
@Liverhawk25 ..not just the ritual. There is a reason they do the ritual and it is to invoke spirits. Oh you're stumped again aren't you because you have to understand the reality of the spiritual realm to believe in spirits!! And I notice you didn't comment on the exorcism and me getting attacked by evil spirits because you would have to tell me I didn't see what I thought i saw or felt what i thought I felt. YOU HAVE A PRESUPPOSITION ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL!!!!
@Liverhawk25 Science has made incredible advancements so that is no longer a viable excuse. Then you follow that ridiculous sentence with 'there are no miracles'. That is like giving the definition of a word by using the same word. That probably went over your head. So go back and actually read what I said about not having the tools to perceive a miracle if it knocked you in the head. Oh my; you're probably still confused! And when I mentioned voodoo I mean the curses and demonic aspect.
@Liverhawk25 All of the scientific data we have on cell reproduction and cloning or whatever would not be able to set a foundation to begin to explain an event like that caught on video. Why? Because like I said before science can only study the physical realm not the spiritual. You know how to talk and insult but not read and think. And when you say people call something a miracle that they don't understand, are you forgetting we live in the 21st century? We understand plenty nowadays.
@Liverhawk25 If a miracle affects the physical world you can record but what the hell would you analyze? The miracle is taking place in the spiritual but manifesting in the physical. For example a close friend went to India and saw a person's withered arm grow back in front of her. Now if you video taped it what the hell would you analyze. A dead arm does not grow back that quickly period!
@Liverhawk25 So don't sit over there thinking you have the skinny on reality. You know your reality very well but there is a lot all around you that you can't see and know nothing about. Maybe this concept scares people so that is why they ignore the idea of the unseen reality. Nobody wants to be taken for a fool; I understand that. If what I am saying is true are aliens real? Maybe dude! I don't have the proof. But that doesn't mean it is not there. My advice is to pray for truth if you dare:)
@Liverhawk25 Even as I am writing this you are thinking there is no way you can believe me even though I have no reason to lie to you. I don't know who you are and I don't care to impress you or change your mind or try and save you..none of that. I am simply speaking the truth and yet it is still not good enough for you. Why is that? You do not have the capacity at the moment. Why don't you pray and ask god to show you that he is real?You wont do that either because you don't want him to be real
@Liverhawk25 The situation scared the shit out of me!! I have woken up in the middle of the night in a pitch black room feeling that there was someone in there; then suddenly have that being pin me to the bed and choke me. There was nothing to see..only feel and for a while I was scared of the dark. No sir I have not personally seen a miracle but I have experienced the supernatural and I can tell they are one and the same for you; out of your realm because you have a closed mind.
@Liverhawk25 And I am not upset bro. Your belief system is what fails you in this situation. You ask for proof of a miracle yet you do not have the tools to process one. You believe only in what you can see. I believe in visions, prophecy, demons and exorcisms because I have experienced them all. I come from an island in the Caribbean where voodoo is practiced and I can tell you first hand it is deadly real. I stood 2 feet away from a woman while several demons were cast out of her.
@Liverhawk25 lol. Are you serious telling me to research the scientific method? How old are you? Let me be more clear since you didn't get it last time. You cannot explain or test a miracle because it is supernatural. Science is used to test the physical.For miracles even to occur there has to be faith and prayer involved. Can you test faith or prayer with the scientific method? It is an act of God! So you need to take it one step at a time. For you it is knowing God first.
@nattyd50 Well here we go again! What a surprise! After all I said you mention microscopes and cells an the hadron collider; all of which are physical :0 Damn! it's like talking to a child! Then of course the famous "with no proof comes disbelief". I just gave you several of my own encounters and you have the encounters of others; Many of which are documented on either audio or video. But this is like dejavu isn't it?Hmmm....thats right! I've said this before haven't I?
@blackplatypus and why does the phenomenon have to be repeatable? This is not the scientific method. You are talking about the unexplainable thus supernatural. If you believe there is no supernatural then you CANNOT believe in miracles even if you saw one with your eyes.
@blackplatypus well in your view a miracle could never happen. Not only do you want to see it, you want to discredit it from being supernatural if it is against the laws of physics etc. Then why even bother bro. Just say you don't believe and won't ever believe.
Wow... you really think that's evidence for anything? I can find people who will give me testimony that they were abducted by aliens. (I don't believe them)
Step one: present verifiable , preferably repeatable instance of the understood laws of physics, chemistry or biology being violated.
Step two: explain how ascribing the cause as being "supernatural" is the most reasonable explanation.
So you want to tell me that nature is doing everything and there is no god?!?! iswear it cant iswear it cant and i swear it can for the 3rd time....There is one god>>the god that create everything around us
@blackplatypus There is a ton of stuff online about real miracles happening in the world today. The real issue is do you believe them to be true. You probably wouldn't believe it if you saw with your own eyes. There is always a way to explain away something to see one's own position. The same is true for me. However, I have seen miracles and heard about them from witnesses who i trust. The testimony of a witness viable in court but when it comes to miracles they suddenly don't hold weight??
@nattyd50 - You give me an example of a miracle and I'll explain it. For example, it's a miracle that people still believe in God. Explanation, people are scared of death and need something to cling to! They get fished in while they're young with great stories about how loving God is and get given sweets at church. Then as they grow up their minds are twisted to be hateful intolerant arseholes!
As a Christian I have nothing against Evolution + Science lol. I know somebody who is a Theistic Evolutionist. Love your vids btw. I ask myself a bunch of crazy questions in regard to religion myself.
some atheists (like richard dawkins) are sure that god does not exist, why dont they come up with a definite scientific discover (like an equation or some physical experiment) to disprove god?? why write argumentative books about how god doesnt exist ?
if atheists are so sure that god does not exist and they are all pro science and shit, prove that god doesnt exist wiith science
@Kuwaiti1990 Okay, and then why don´t you prove the Easter Bunny doesn´t exist. And while you´re at it, you can prove that Santa doesn´t exist, that Allah doesn´t exist, that Vishnu doesn´t exist, that Thor the God of Thunder doesn´t exist, and all those other possible Gods and beings that you don´t believe in. (Hint: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVE CERTAIN THINGS DON´T EXIST)
you know the REAL POINT that can STICK BOTH sides? NEITHER OF YOUR ADVOCATES WERE THERE, and so, you BOTH reinforce the proverb/observation stated so long ao, and that is that there are THREE SIDES to the TRUTH, your side, THE TRUTH, and their side.
The contemplative traditions don't advocate giving up your mind but instead giving up & redirecting the focus of your conscious attention away from your mind, the proverbial dangling carrot being the possibility of a beautiful transformative experience of well-being. The kind of stuff advocated by the likes of Eckhart Tolle, Sam Harris, etal examples of a modern day contemplatives.
@BTMoviechannel - God = insecure douche bag desperate for the world's love. Not really that impressive. He can create the universe in 7 days, can perform miracles (but never does) and yet he's just a whiny pussy who needs the whole world to give him a cuddle? Sounds a bit gay to me
read the bible! all of the promises God has made, he shows us. all of that supernatural stuff....its tru....u dont even have to be this big naive "believer"..lol! God says he will pour his spirit out on man! and he has..and he will! and he does! so i feel sorry for u ppl........srsly...i wud invite any one of u to come to church w me and see a MIRACLE! bahahaha

alexandruthegreat95 9 months ago
@alexandruthegreat95 The earth came from an amalgamation of space rock that formed around our sun when it formed. Your question about "who" created trees, animals, flowers and humans is in invalid question as you are putting the assumption that "someone" made them into your question. There is ZERO evidence that any of those things were specially created by anyone or anything. The evidence points to those things developing though natural processes.

@TheAnubisDrake Hmmm...well what about humans? In my opinion it doesn't make sense that through natural process the complex human body was made. For every creation there is a creator.
alexandruthegreat95 9 months ago
@alexandruthegreat95 Again with that biased question. You are again assuming in your question that humans had a creator. That has in no way been indicated by the evidence. Like it or not we are apes in every way.
Irreducible complexity (the only real argument intelligent design ever even for a moment had in its favor) was refuted in "The Origin of Species" by Darwin himself. It has been proven wrong several times in several different experiments from the bacterial flagellum to the human eye.

@TheAnubisDrake Didn't Darwin, on his death bed, claim he made it all up and non of it was true ? Also, what evidence do we have of us being apes? I haven't studied in depth evolution so I honestly want to know. And then Science has already proved that there was a great flood years ago, and in the Bible it talks about a great flood. So it was nice having this discussion but I remain...unmoved! :)
alexandruthegreat95 9 months ago
@alexandruthegreat95 Darwin recanting is kind of a legend. I have never seen a source for it.
Evidence for us being apes is the fact that we are apes. Everything about us screams ape. The only things different are our brain size, the positioning of our pelvis for upright walking and how little hair we have. Otherwise we are identical.

@alexandruthegreat95 No reputable scientist has ever claimed there was a global flood. Many "Christian Scientists" have taken evidence of different floods happening in different locations at around the same time and claiming they are evidence of a global flood. When at other locations around the world at the same depth there is no evidence of flooding. This is a case of the religious trying hard to make it look like science when it is clearly not.

When an Athiest dies they must in blind faith trust there is no God that they will be accountable to. They must have faith in their disbelief that there is no Hell. They must be able to say, that without a shadow of doubt there is no God of the Bible. After all, you're betting your eternal life on it. .
The guest said "you should embrace ignorance". That a scary thing to say after saying there is no God. Don't try the ignorant card on God after death; by then it will be too- late.

@forehand27 And what about those who value evidence over faith? It isn't a matter of having enough faith for them to disbelieve, its a matter of a lack of evidence to come to the conclusion that there is a God, either the one outlined in the Bible or otherwise, and the same problem to come to the conclusion that there is a Hell. So what evidence can you provide for the claims of God or Hell?

Some were way off, some were on to something, but all or most had experienced the reality of these invisible items. Even today scientist can't completely agree on the nature of matter we can see

And, well, let's face it; studies have shown atheiss are more educated and literate than theists. So, if you could, prove your claim about atheists beinng "as dumb as a rock."

@realest114 - How many athiests have ever killed anyone because of their beliefs? How many millions of people have died because a God demanded their sacrifice? You are one of the dumbest shits I've ever seen on here. Religious people are the most evil people on the planet. I don't know one athiest that would want you dead just for not believing their ideas. If there is a God, he probably thinks you're a cunt too!

@lilsm555 Maybe he wasn't dead enough LOL Cardiac arrest is when you stop breathing + no heartbeat + no brain activity. Just cause his heart stopped doesn't mean he was dead LOL technically speaking.. Not everyone that goes into cardiac arrest has an NDE.. I just trip out on NDE's and how peoples stories are very often quite similar. If I die and that's the end of that... then cool.. I won't give a rats ass cause I'll be dead :)

@rickgut2004 - People out of their mind on pain medication say a lot of crazy shit. Hell was invented to ensure douche bags give all their money to the church. How many gold candlesticks and goblets do you think God needs? It's all a massive con. There's more books out there than the bible, try reading some
qwijibo1 1 year ago
@qwijibo1 "Out of their mind on pain medication"?? Many near death experiences happen with no medical care involved at all. An example: a young person drowned, and is resuscitated by friends. NO MEDS used, and still has an experience. If I were you, I would have said "lack of oxygen to the brain causes people to do/see/hear weird things". Many people have a very similar NDE.. why would we develop this during evolution? Maybe, the separation of mind from body is to help reduce bodily pain?
rickgut2004 1 year ago
@qwijibo1 Than again, this wouldn't make sense. Pain was developed to tell out body to STOP doing whatever we are doing to cause pain. Pain is there to help us protect our body. If we did not have pain, you could break a bone in your leg, then go out and run a mile until your broken bone broke through the surface of you skin...etc. Pain is good. And some people are not in pain when they are dieing (because of meds, loss of consciousness). So, there goes that argument.

@qwijibo1 Lookup "blind NDE" on youtube. Watch that with an opened mind and tell me what you think. If you have something that you would like me to read/view that you think makes a strong suggestion to no god, point me to it, and I will check it out with an opened mind.

@qwijibo1 "A dream HE"S having"? It was a she.. I'm guessing you didn't watch the video. Isn't it interesting that all of these people are having the same dream? And some of these dreams are happening when people have NO brain activity. Also, science doesn't know what happens to you after this body dies. Science can tell you that the body is dead, but doesn't know if there is a part of your energy that continues to exist.

@rickgut2004 This is a BIOLOGICAL reaction that takes place in the brain when one is dying. Everything from the light people see to the loved one's can ALL be explained through science and biology. That's why they are NEAR death experiences and not after death experiences.

@LelaPhern - You're right......extremist doesn't equal religion, religion equals extremist. You are just one massive contradiction. Athiests don't follow crowds, they leave them, read books and decide for themselves. The bible is much like you, full of contradictions. Not sure how accurate your 95% is but I guess a good 90% of that figure is made up of people from third world countries who don't know any better. There's no individuals in religion, only sheep, very dangerous sheep!

There's a difference between not believing in God and being immoral or amoral, just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean you will go around killing people, robbing banks, kidnapping and this kind of stuff, it's absurd how some people can think that just because you think different it makes you some kind monster.

Now I believe in a God that's everything, the sheet of life, not the bible's God, I see myself in a society that needs me as a important part of them, why? Because I can help other people, instead of telling them to go pray at some church.
The Vatican is extremely rich, and there's a lot of secret documents there that you're forbidden to access (don't believe? Go there try it out, i'm not fallacious).

It's so sad that people will stick to their innocence of believing in their God (their shield to the truth). They will do anything necessary to fight agains people who don't, they will opress them, mistreat, we atheists have to endure this every time we say that we don't believe in God, it's our choice, saying that we are evil for that is a pathetical affirmation.
Look how many atheists where killed by the church. They did it in the name of God, blindly, but did God ever tell them to do so?

There is no believer in God that had not experienced God in his life. All believers experienced God. You can ask them all.
When I was in the mercy of some none believers and they were trying to skin me off, I asked God for help because I had no other choice and he helped me out the way that I could not even think of it. After that experience I became a believer , Before that I was a none believer.
And since I become a believer,God is helping me all times. What is wrong with my believe?

All that garble about a thousand year old book and what it says and killing and molesting and that whole paragraph that you are not positive about shows that you live your life by what others say but you talk about the capacity to feel good about yourself is in you. Well if it is all in you why ask any questions at all? Sounds like you know it all.

My goodness I don't think you will ever see a miracle in your state buddy. But wait I've said that before haven't I? Just figured if I said it again you would get it!

@Liverhawk25 ..not just the ritual. There is a reason they do the ritual and it is to invoke spirits. Oh you're stumped again aren't you because you have to understand the reality of the spiritual realm to believe in spirits!! And I notice you didn't comment on the exorcism and me getting attacked by evil spirits because you would have to tell me I didn't see what I thought i saw or felt what i thought I felt. YOU HAVE A PRESUPPOSITION ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL!!!!

@Liverhawk25 Science has made incredible advancements so that is no longer a viable excuse. Then you follow that ridiculous sentence with 'there are no miracles'. That is like giving the definition of a word by using the same word. That probably went over your head. So go back and actually read what I said about not having the tools to perceive a miracle if it knocked you in the head. Oh my; you're probably still confused! And when I mentioned voodoo I mean the curses and demonic aspect.

@Liverhawk25 All of the scientific data we have on cell reproduction and cloning or whatever would not be able to set a foundation to begin to explain an event like that caught on video. Why? Because like I said before science can only study the physical realm not the spiritual. You know how to talk and insult but not read and think. And when you say people call something a miracle that they don't understand, are you forgetting we live in the 21st century? We understand plenty nowadays.
nattyd50 1 year ago
@Liverhawk25 If a miracle affects the physical world you can record but what the hell would you analyze? The miracle is taking place in the spiritual but manifesting in the physical. For example a close friend went to India and saw a person's withered arm grow back in front of her. Now if you video taped it what the hell would you analyze. A dead arm does not grow back that quickly period!

@Liverhawk25 So don't sit over there thinking you have the skinny on reality. You know your reality very well but there is a lot all around you that you can't see and know nothing about. Maybe this concept scares people so that is why they ignore the idea of the unseen reality. Nobody wants to be taken for a fool; I understand that. If what I am saying is true are aliens real? Maybe dude! I don't have the proof. But that doesn't mean it is not there. My advice is to pray for truth if you dare:)

@Liverhawk25 Even as I am writing this you are thinking there is no way you can believe me even though I have no reason to lie to you.

Why is that? You do not have the capacity at the moment. Why don't you pray and ask god to show you that he is real?You wont do that either because you don't want him to be real

No sir I have not personally seen a miracle but I have experienced the supernatural and I can tell they are one and the same for you; out of your realm because you have a closed mind.

@Liverhawk25 And I am not upset bro. Your belief system is what fails you in this situation. You ask for proof of a miracle yet you do not have the tools to process one. You believe only in what you can see. I believe in visions, prophecy, demons and exorcisms because I have experienced them all. I come from an island in the Caribbean where voodoo is practiced and I can tell you first hand it is deadly real. I stood 2 feet away from a woman while several demons were cast out of her.
nattyd50 1 year ago
@Liverhawk25 lol. Are you serious telling me to research the scientific method? How old are you? Let me be more clear since you didn't get it last time. You cannot explain or test a miracle because it is supernatural. Science is used to test the physical.For miracles even to occur there has to be faith and prayer involved. Can you test faith or prayer with the scientific method? It is an act of God! So you need to take it one step at a time. For you it is knowing God first.

Step one: present verifiable , preferably repeatable instance of the understood laws of physics, chemistry or biology being violated.
Step two: explain how ascribing the cause as being "supernatural" is the most reasonable explanation.

@blackplatypus There is a ton of stuff online about real miracles happening in the world today. The real issue is do you believe them to be true. You probably wouldn't believe it if you saw with your own eyes. There is always a way to explain away something to see one's own position. The same is true for me. However, I have seen miracles and heard about them from witnesses who i trust. The testimony of a witness viable in court but when it comes to miracles they suddenly don't hold weight??

Then as they grow up their minds are twisted to be hateful intolerant arseholes!
