you athiests belong to satan. You are so full of sin that you cant feel God. Its no our problem that you are weak and have sold yourself to the devil, because you are to proud and stuck up to humbl;e yourself before God. You athiests are corrupt your lives are fool of evil and sin you are greedy liars you curse and steel you commit adultery all day you hate love and mercy if the whole world was like you this place wouldnt last a month. But JESUS Christ is coming and he will judge you
@Adriankovalski Full of evil and sin you say... Sweden is 80% atheist, they have a much higher standard of living, and one fifth the homicide rate of the US, which is less than 20% atheist.
Atheists make up ~15% of your country, but less than 2% of your prison population, which is more than 70% Christian. Looks like Christians are the evil sinners here.
Explain why atheists are underrepresented in prisons and European countries with 50-80% of ppl who do not believe in god(s) have lower homicide, rape, teen pregnancy, STD, abortion, divorce, drug abuse and infant mortality rates than the US as well as better social care, education, human righst and more freedom of speech?
athiests cant proove there is no God so they go by faith when they claim there is no God. they are hypocrites. and they never shut up to listen when someone speaks
@Adriankovalski Hmm I can say same about "god-believers" ... They cant proove there is a god so they go by faith when they claim there is a god.
I dont believe > RELIGION IS NR.1 KILLER IN ALL WARS so i refuse to be part of that and I think "god, allah, ..." didnt want that too lol.

@frog1599 ok whatever dickbiscuit pretty sure all I said was that certain people make me laugh but if in your sick, twisted world that means that I was bullying then I think you need some help.
@billionsofidiots You mean "their schools" and "beliefs" and "atheists."
But anyway, can you prove that most people in the world are ignorant fools? If not, don't call everyone an idiot just because they're wearing a cross or star of David around their neck.
And actually, when people "throw their money" at church (also known as a donation), churches use that money to care for the homeless and go on mission trips to places like Latvia and Haiti.
@Pedr6500 That's true as well. However, religion has its opinions about the beginning of the universe and life on Earth, that have been disproven by scientific evidence. So eventhough we cannot know whether God is real or not, we KNOW that religion is a load of crock. And therefore, atheism would seem the proper choice for any rational human being.
@frog1599 really? im an athiest i dont claim to know theres no god. i dont believe in a god or gods because i have never seen the slightest bit of evidence for any gods existance. that doesnt mean i can say with 100% certenty that theres no god i just have no reason to believe as of yet. also no athiest would claim to know everything. by the way athiesm means not believing in a god. it doesnt mean that you claim to know theres no god.
Um, Bill, the tide goes in and out due to the moon's... oh, never mind.
Man, all this "you're an idiot for believing/not believing in God!" shiznit... I've just given up on the question. Hell, at this point, I hope that if when we all die, we end up before God... and he's a SHE. No, wait, even better, a transsexual. A fifty-foot-tall, naked, black transsexual. Who didn't comb her hair.
Then we can all give a show of hands as to which religion rightly called this one!
@frog1599 Oh no. Believe me, I try to treat women with respect, and racism is an outdated and destructive mindset which I refuse to have, even as a black man against other races. I also hate the use of the victim card by any race (a fellow black man crying racism is almost as annoying to me as a racist). I was just saying that we don't know if there is a god, let alone if God is even a "God" or a "Goddess", but it doesn't matter. There are more tangible and more immediate problems to care about.
I'm on the fence when it comes to the question of God's existence. I believe all religions use myth anyway. The Quran isn't ultimate truth, and neither is the Bible. Just because the Bible says to do something doesn't mean you couldn't figure it out with a little common sense (for example: there are financial and emotional consequences when someone is killed). And atheists can't say science is 100% perfect either.
@Montesama314 But in science - we correct our understanding when we gain more knowledge and more accurate results. I would argue that the essence of science (logic and reason) is perfect... but our understanding is incomplete.
My standing on the god question is as follows:
Theological gods, I would be a Gnostic Atheist.
Personal gods need to accessed on a case to case basis.
And Deistic gods, I would be an Agnostic Atheist... because there are no traits associated to a deistic god.
@koolanator "The essence of science (logic and reason) is perfect... but our understanding is incomplete."
That's an interesting way to look at it. Hundreds of years ago, the idea that everything revolved around the earth still made sense considering the ability of scientists at the time (seeing the sun move across the sky). It's a learning process.
By the way, which does each theist classification mean? I've heard there are gnostic/agnostic theists and atheists, but I haven't heard the diff.
I am an Gnostic Atheist to most Theistic Gods simply because such a being cannot exists... in the same way that you cannot have a square circle.
I am an Agnostic Atheist when it comes to Deistic God claims because (by definition) such a God does not manifest itself within our reality, therefore it has no defined traits and cannot be evaluated by evidence. I then choose not to believe it on basic probability. And (continued)
@TheBiAtheist I'll take that as a complement since I consider TheoreticalBullshit to probably be the most well spoken YouTube personality, ha-ha. So yes, I watch a lot of his videos; but I think the general idea of taking every claim at face value and evaluating them separately was inspired by Matt Dillahunty and other hosts of The Atheist Experience.
Bill O'Reilly: "Evolution goes in, and I came out - You can't explain that"
@Montesama314 (continued) I then address all other claims of personal Gods on a case to case basis. And what I mean by personal God is... any God who's traits are not perfectly defined in any doctrine. As you've probably noticed... people tend to pick and choose the traits that they desire God to have no matter where they pulled their original inspiration from (bible, torah, kuran). But then the traits have changed, so we must address each claim separately.
@Montesama314 To add to the comments on Science. I am an A.I. scientist by trade and I follow the work of Jeff Hawkins quite closely. He also contrasts the belief of "The earth being the center of the universe" and our understanding of intelligence. "If you look at the history of big obstacles in understanding our world, there's usually an intuitive assumption underlying them that's wrong." ~Jeff Hawkins, RSA Conference 2008
This is the source of underlying errors in our understanding of science
@mcnesta80 Well, I don't know what Rastafarians believe. All I'm saying is, no one knows if there IS a God, let alone if God is the God any particular religion says he is... "God" could be a Goddess for all we know!
Both sides need to quit acting like they're better than anyone else.
@Montesama314 It was just a lame joke....your vision of God was black and didn't comb his/her hair....black+dreads(+weed+Haile Selassie+Jesus+vegetarian)=Rastafarianism...that's about as much as I know about it.
There seems to be an underlying belief if that an atheist knows a little bit more about how the tide works then he's proven that God doesn't exist. I came to belief in God as an adult with my reason intact. But it's said that God hides himself from the proud.
*as and * have been. No ball pushes itself. I'm not foolish enough to form a conclusion based on this logic, but I'm also not foolish enough going to say with certainty that everything just appeared randomly. That's an even more absurd contention.
Atheism is a tired trend, it's just the new "bully" group in the playground that everyone would rather join than be belittled by. I'm pretty sure Atheists understand Religion is not meant to be taken literally. The idea of there being a mover/instigator/creator, take your pick or whatever it may be is not far-fetched. Everything in our world was created by someone, it's not foolish to assert that the Universe must also be created ass well. It's simple cause and effect.
@12Ominous Atheism is only a "trend" if it is the result of a non-skeptical belief system. i.e. buddhism. Otherwise it is usually the result of careful examination of the facts... The Atheist community is overwhelmingly populated by skeptics and critical thinkers.
It is rational to think that there was a "cause" to the universe, however it is illogical to assert "therefore God". That is the leap that skeptics will not take.
@koolanator I agree. But "God" which is often used as a metaphor for creator or mover could be anything. A lot of atheists try to trivialize or undermine religion by ragging on people with very specific and literal beliefs. I don't think the idea of a conscious celestial force or even forces whether a tangible figure or an energy of some sort is that much of a stretch. I don't claim to "know" but secretly I like to believe there is something more.
@12Ominous Theistic claims are much easier to respond to than deistic. This is why you see a lot of "ragging" on literal beliefs. Arguing the existence of a deistic God has little to no value because both sides are essentially saying "I don't know".
@koolanator Yes, this is true. I neglected to make the distinction between theism and deism. But even though claiming to know is absurd and illogical, I still don't like how anti-theists in particular treat theists or those who subscribe to a specific Religion and doctrine. It's eerily reminiscent of the way the Christians treated and viewed the Pagans during the dark ages.
@12Ominous As you mentioned, a common deistic claim is that God can be anything. If I were to ask for specifics about God, then the most likely answer would be, "I don't know".
So... if God is simply a label being placed on the first cause and we don't know what God is; it seems to be more honest to say "I don't know" on all accounts... at least to me.
@koolanator That is my default response when people as me what I am because I don't know. But that doesn't mean we can't have ideas or imagine what could be. As humans I think its our nature to find reasons to think we are important because to us our lives are important. Deism and Theism I think are just ways that people do that. I don't see anything intrinsically wrong having those beliefs, it's when Group think and Dogma sets in that it becomes a problem.
@12Ominous Yeah... there are a bunch of dumb-asses out there... they exist in every group.
I like your word choice... "imagine". I agree, people can imagine what they want; but I urge caution to anyone who lets a single idea dictate their actions (especially if it was supplied by someone else). There is a huge difference between teaching what to think and teaching how to think. I subscribe to the latter...
"Great minds think alike." WRONG! "Great minds think for themselves"
@12Ominous Even the idea of first cause is under investigation. Quantum mechanics suggest that not every event requires a cause - random events occur without a cause when dealing with the very small... this may or may not apply to the beginning of our universe. We don't know yet.
Oh Jesus freaks make me giggle. :) these losers actually believe that some mystical guy who lives in the sky runs the world? Wow. SOMEONE needs to get a life.
These people are so full of themselves. Why act as if you know when there is nothing for an athiest to know. Who created the earth? or the Universe for that matter? Exactly, most will say evolution but evolution cannot be proven either you see where I am going? Why do athiest defend themselves when there is nothing to defend.
@Ferret9T2 fuck evolution...i didnt come from no monkey. tell me this. if we humans did evolve, then why did we just stop at this homo sapien stage...why arent we contiuing to evolve. arent we suppose to be flying by now. get it through ur ignorant ass head, God is real and evolution is a lie from the devil
@MrFreestyle89 first off we havent stopped evolving, and like it or not there is evidence supporting the notion that you came from a monkey, all evolution is, is genetic mutation that gives a trait that allows that organism to survive more efficiently, and most mutation doesnt do thag so they die off , some examples of mutation is elephantitus or cancer and the reason we havent evolved much is due to our domestication. We have medicine and static environments that don't let mutations reproduce
@MrFreestyle89 U think evolution is a "couple-of-1000-years-job" ? Us homosapiens are just newcomers to the earth ... Dinosaurs ruled the earth for 160 million years
And btw, u can see evolution already .. for example we are growing, we are getting much bigger then ages ago.
@MrFreestyle89 You didn't come from monkeys. However, you and monkeys (chimps anyway) share a common ancestor. And we didn't stop, we're still evolving. You're fucking stupid.
Atheists are the living proof that God used crack/heroin while creating the humans and as a result some of them ended up being seriously fucked up and these fucked up ppl had children later and they became the Atheists.
Agnostic is an adjective, as well as a noun. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. Just as the counterpart to atheism is theism, the counterpart to agnostisism is gnostisism. Hence you can be either an agnostic or gnostic theist or an agnostic or gnostic atheist.
Agnostic atheist - Believes there are no gods
Gnostic atheist - Claims to know there are no gods
Agnostic theist - Believes there is/are god(s)
Gnostic theist - Claims to know there is/are god(s)
@Jostedalsosten You're right. And gnosticism is a silly thing to believe in, whether atheist or theist. Claiming to KNOW everything is absurd. There are more agnostic theists in the world than there are gnostic theists, thankfully. However, almost every atheist I have ever talked to (and I know a lot of atheists) has been gnostic; they claim that they KNOW religion is a myth and a scam and that we KNOW it's a scam as well, which is just ridiculous.
Deists are not theists. Theists believe in a specific god. Deists generally think of god in one of two ways... as a benign first cause or causer, or as a metaphor for the fine-tuning of universal constants.
That's a far cry from theism, which claims there is an invisible man in the sky.
@supowit Sorry, but you are simply wrong. The term "theist" does not say anything about the nature of the god(s) in question. Any belief in any god goes under theism, personal or not.
It's not that simple. Sometimes definitions are not black and white. Here is Wikipedia's take:
"While the specific definition of theism given above may exclude deism, deism is included as a form of theism by the most general definition given above."
It sort of depends on your understanding of theism... is it belief in a higher power like God, or is it a belief in a personal, or specific god with known characteristics?
Hopefully this religious fanatic fuck who can't seem to get a good haircut can retake the third grade. Hopefully he'll retain something in the decaying mash between his ears.
@billionsofidiots Part two: When I first became atheist people confused me and made me think I was agnostic when really I’m atheist.
Agnostic is that you just don’t know almost as if you don’t have an opinion at all.
Atheist is when you don’t know (because its impossible to know) but you THINK that there is no god(s). Please correct me if I’m wrong, I could be sounding like an idiot :D
@billionsofidiots Part one: Just because you don’t claim to know doesn’t mean you’re agnostic. If that is the only reason you’re agnostic I would still classify you as atheist. Nobody knows because nobody can know, its a myth. Not all atheists say that there are no gods and they know for sure, Richard Dawkins is an atheist and he says he doesn’t know if gods exist because nobody can know but that he thinks gods don’t exist. Thinking something and knowing something are two different things.
it's all about money with BOTH groups, on one side you have the religious group getting money from the people that believe in God and on the other side you have the Atheist groups getting money from the people that believe the religious group is wrong...both groups are simply claiming that the other is wrong, an Atheist can't prove God does not exist and a Catholic can't prove he does, so both these groups are the same, they each have strong beliefs on something without being able to prove it...
@heybonus72 Lets me get this straight. You went on a video that is old as F and to tell TYT which is also an old organization to tell them their organization name is fail? Do you have a life?
@billionsofidiots Anti-theists are people that know there is no god. Atheists are people that don't believe insomething just because they're are told.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. described bigots with the following quote: "The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract."
Without religion science is boring, without science religion is lost. Whether you believe in God or not, it's your choice, I believe in God. There is no problem with that and if you think so, well you are clearly not wise. Acknowledge other cultures, you don't need to share their culture, but acknowledge it. Sure you may not agree with them, but they will always exist.
Saying that because you can't find an explanation in something, hence it must be God is stupid. Arguement from ignorance and a God of the Gaps arguement (A logical fallacy). Fox should be taken off the air for it's corruption.
@jinxxedlikeshit To be fair though, there is a lot of pressure being on live Tv, the fact he didn't point it out and totally ruin Bill o'Reily made it disappointing, but I can still somewhat maintain an understanding of what's happening. Furthermore, at least he managed to compare other religions along side with Christianity, but I think it would have been much more amusing for Bill to say it to Dawkins who would call him out immediately.
@strkszone Not to me, i could explain it to anyone.
OTOH i'm a professor of microbiology.
Richard won it, no doubt on that one, but it was made by technicalities. I would have have brought up the irreverant species that do change a year or Darwins moths or what have you...
I could also bring up the DNA of our fellow apes...
I'll say it again: we may know why the tides goe in and out, but do we know why gravity exists? Here, to make it easier on you all, I'll answer it for you: no, we do not.
I have to say this was a disappointing Young Turks video. O Reilly got caught in his words, but there was another half of the interview where the interviee was very much stumped. I don't appreciate one sided commentary. Still an excellent job in catching O Reilly.

@frog1599 Oh no. Believe me, I try to treat women with respect, and racism is an outdated and destructive mindset which I refuse to have, even as a black man against other races. I also hate the use of the victim card by any race (a fellow black man crying racism is almost as annoying to me as a racist). I was just saying that we don't know if there is a god, let alone if God is even a "God" or a "Goddess", but it doesn't matter. There are more tangible and more immediate problems to care about.

@sxekilljoy1 Yeah, I'd laugh too.
I'm on the fence when it comes to the question of God's existence. I believe all religions use myth anyway. The Quran isn't ultimate truth, and neither is the Bible. Just because the Bible says to do something doesn't mean you couldn't figure it out with a little common sense (for example: there are financial and emotional consequences when someone is killed). And atheists can't say science is 100% perfect either.
You'll figure it out when you die, right?

@Montesama314 But in science - we correct our understanding when we gain more knowledge and more accurate results. I would argue that the essence of science (logic and reason) is perfect... but our understanding is incomplete.
My standing on the god question is as follows:
Theological gods, I would be a Gnostic Atheist.
Personal gods need to accessed on a case to case basis.
And Deistic gods, I would be an Agnostic Atheist... because there are no traits associated to a deistic god.

@koolanator "The essence of science (logic and reason) is perfect... but our understanding is incomplete."
That's an interesting way to look at it. Hundreds of years ago, the idea that everything revolved around the earth still made sense considering the ability of scientists at the time (seeing the sun move across the sky). It's a learning process.
By the way, which does each theist classification mean? I've heard there are gnostic/agnostic theists and atheists, but I haven't heard the diff.
Montesama314 1 month ago
@Montesama314 Gnostic and Agnostic refer to knowledge. The simplest definitions are: Gnostic meaning "I know" and Agnostic meaning "I don't know".
The common phrases associated to each class are:
Gnostic Theist: "I know God X exists"
Agnostic Theist: "I believe God X exists"
Agnostic Atheist: "I don't believe God X exists"
Gnostic Atheist: "I know that God X does not exist"

@Montesama314 To re-iterate my original stance.
I am an Gnostic Atheist to most Theistic Gods simply because such a being cannot exists... in the same way that you cannot have a square circle.
I am an Agnostic Atheist when it comes to Deistic God claims because (by definition) such a God does not manifest itself within our reality, therefore it has no defined traits and cannot be evaluated by evidence. I then choose not to believe it on basic probability. And (continued)

@TheBiAtheist I'll take that as a complement since I consider TheoreticalBullshit to probably be the most well spoken YouTube personality, ha-ha. So yes, I watch a lot of his videos; but I think the general idea of taking every claim at face value and evaluating them separately was inspired by Matt Dillahunty and other hosts of The Atheist Experience.

@koolanator Matt Dillahunty is another inspiration for me.

@Montesama314 (continued) I then address all other claims of personal Gods on a case to case basis. And what I mean by personal God is... any God who's traits are not perfectly defined in any doctrine. As you've probably noticed... people tend to pick and choose the traits that they desire God to have no matter where they pulled their original inspiration from (bible, torah, kuran). But then the traits have changed, so we must address each claim separately.

@Montesama314 To add to the comments on Science. I am an A.I. scientist by trade and I follow the work of Jeff Hawkins quite closely.

There seems to be an underlying belief if that an atheist knows a little bit more about how the tide works then he's proven that God doesn't exist. I came to belief in God as an adult with my reason intact. But it's said that God hides himself from the proud.

Atheism is a tired trend, it's just the new "bully" group in the playground that everyone would rather join than be belittled by. I'm pretty sure Atheists understand Religion is not meant to be taken literally. The idea of there being a mover/instigator/creator, take your pick or whatever it may be is not far-fetched. Everything in our world was created by someone, it's not foolish to assert that the Universe must also be created ass well. It's simple cause and effect.
12Ominous 1 month ago
@12Ominous Atheism is only a "trend" if it is the result of a non-skeptical belief system. i.e. buddhism. Otherwise it is usually the result of careful examination of the facts... The Atheist community is overwhelmingly populated by skeptics and critical thinkers.
It is rational to think that there was a "cause" to the universe, however it is illogical to assert "therefore God". That is the leap that skeptics will not take.
koolanator 1 month ago
@koolanator I agree. But "God" which is often used as a metaphor for creator or mover could be anything. A lot of atheists try to trivialize or undermine religion by ragging on people with very specific and literal beliefs. I don't think the idea of a conscious celestial force or even forces whether a tangible figure or an energy of some sort is that much of a stretch. I don't claim to "know" but secretly I like to believe there is something more.
12Ominous 1 month ago
@12Ominous Theistic claims are much easier to respond to than deistic. This is why you see a lot of "ragging" on literal beliefs. Arguing the existence of a deistic God has little to no value because both sides are essentially saying "I don't know".
koolanator 1 month ago
@koolanator Yes, this is true. I neglected to make the distinction between theism and deism. But even though claiming to know is absurd and illogical, I still don't like how anti-theists in particular treat theists or those who subscribe to a specific Religion and doctrine. It's eerily reminiscent of the way the Christians treated and viewed the Pagans during the dark ages.
12Ominous 1 month ago
@12Ominous As you mentioned, a common deistic claim is that God can be anything. If I were to ask for specifics about God, then the most likely answer would be, "I don't know".
So... if God is simply a label being placed on the first cause and we don't know what God is; it seems to be more honest to say "I don't know" on all accounts... at least to me.
koolanator 1 month ago
@koolanator That is my default response when people as me what I am because I don't know. But that doesn't mean we can't have ideas or imagine what could be. As humans I think its our nature to find reasons to think we are important because to us our lives are important. Deism and Theism I think are just ways that people do that. I don't see anything intrinsically wrong having those beliefs, it's when Group think and Dogma sets in that it becomes a problem.

We have medicine and static environments that don't let mutations reproduce

Agnostic is an adjective, as well as a noun. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. Just as the counterpart to atheism is theism, the counterpart to agnostisism is gnostisism. Hence you can be either an agnostic or gnostic theist or an agnostic or gnostic atheist.
Agnostic atheist - Believes there are no gods
Gnostic atheist - Claims to know there are no gods
Agnostic theist - Believes there is/are god(s)
Gnostic theist - Claims to know there is/are god(s)

@Jostedalsosten You're right. And gnosticism is a silly thing to believe in, whether atheist or theist. Claiming to KNOW everything is absurd. There are more agnostic theists in the world than there are gnostic theists, thankfully. However, almost every atheist I have ever talked to (and I know a lot of atheists) has been gnostic; they claim that they KNOW religion is a myth and a scam and that we KNOW it's a scam as well, which is just ridiculous.

Deists are not theists. Theists believe in a specific god. Deists generally think of god in one of two ways... as a benign first cause or causer, or as a metaphor for the fine-tuning of universal constants.
That's a far cry from theism, which claims there is an invisible man in the sky.

It's not that simple. Sometimes definitions are not black and white. Here is Wikipedia's take:
"While the specific definition of theism given above may exclude deism, deism is included as a form of theism by the most general definition given above."
It sort of depends on your understanding of theism... is it belief in a higher power like God, or is it a belief in a personal, or specific god with known characteristics?
