If the concept of Hell wasn't in the Bible, Christianity would never have gotten so big. Death is something that many people fear, and religion exploits it to turn people into mindless sheeps. With their false promises they can even make adults believe in talking snakes, lol. "Believe in everything I say or you won't get saved from eternal damnation"... riiight.
"the chosen people" isn't racist!!! Calling someone a Zionist isn't racist! If the skull cap fits then wear it.
By the way - know why Jews wear the skull cap? how else is god supposed to recognize his chosen people? :) lighten up folks it's ok to laugh at other peoples beliefs. No one is uniquely privileged to their faith. No one! I'm speaking as an atheist so I think all you believers are nuts. lol I've got no respect for any of you Muslims or Christians either:)
Big difference between religion and faith. As for belief, that's up to you. Don't believe. That's why God gave man freedom of choice. As for yours being any more relevant or correct than mine, well I guess we'll see. In the end I rather be wrong than take a chance. Again it's up to you.
As for making fun, seem I hear more from the non believers than those that do. Seems that we can't go anywhere without a group of Atheists crying about seeing a religious symbol. Oh poor babies. Quit looking.
@1timby Seems I can't go a day without the winning from you folks. Take that cross down it's offensive. I'm going to sue if you guys don't quit worshiping. WA WA WA. It seems that you folks want nothing more than to pick a fight. You don't want to discuss anything. You use false science to bolster your views. Then tout that your opinion is the only one that is correct. He who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones. Practice what you preach.
@MsJuliaBarnes Winning at what. Well atheism has lead to everyone wanting their own morality. So congrats. Now folks can feel good about killing babies, each other, committing major crimes all without the burden of feeling guilty. As for more atheists in the world, well maybe you need to check your findings. Seems there are more and more conversions to Christianity in other countries.
@1timby Winning at life. Winning at science. Winning at rationality. For example, you won't see me being so wrong in a comment as you!
Since you won't know, I assume you are trying to start an argument about abortion by mislabeling it as "killing babies". Wrong. You are also wrong about guilt being connected with religion. It's not. You're also wrong about insinuating that I wrote that there are more atheists in the world. I didn't. Citation is needed, at least, for your last claim.
@MsJuliaBarnes So what are you winning at? Science;Seems like science has enough problems getting things right. Rationality. Just your opinion that you're correct. Your wrong on all your comments. Not trying to start arguments. Abortions are killing babies, a fact. Whether you want to believe it or not is irrelevance. Maybe you should go and check the reports. More women are selecting this as a method of birth control. Again a fact. Otherwise the abortion rate would be falling and not rising.
@1timby Thanks for proving that you are not only a pissed-off religious person but an ignorant one as well. You do know that without science, you would have no electricity, no computer (like the one you are using right now!), no internet, no effective medicines, no cars, no paved roads, not airplanes, no plastics and so on!
I'd go on but I doubt anything rational will penetrate your ignorance and prejudice. You simply are not worth my time.
@MsJuliaBarnes oH WA WA WA..... I've forgotten more about science than you ever knew. I've spent my entire career in scientific endeavors. I never said that science didn't have a place. However, evolution isn't one of them. If it wasn't for you wienie Atheists then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Ignorance, that's a good one. Prejudice another good one. If it wasn't for the ignorant, like yourself, there would be better science and less prejudice.
@MsJuliaBarnes We're talking about the creation of the universe and life not manufacturing TV's and your gaming console. Two different things. I'm in no way prejudiced. I'm not the one that is making folks Christmases unhappy; making folks remove crosses, telling folks they can't pray, telling folks they can't worship as they wish, telling folks they can't wear a cross. That's the purview of non believers and those that want their opinions to be the only ones. Just like you.
The atheists I know are all for freedom of religion. We're just not cool with official governmental support of any religion. And the idea of atheists telling someone they can't wear a cross is quite a bizarre strawman - it's a totally new idea to me.
@ThinkingSpeck No I'm not. If I had a nickle for ever time I've been called derogatory names or told that I don't have any rights to worship as I please I would be a BILLIONAIRE. It's not a straw man as well as I've been told I don't have the right to carry or read my bible in public. It offends certain folks.These are realities.
Your constitution says that the government is not allowed to support any religion. No US church should be state-sponsored.
If you've had unprovoked criticisms for wearing a cross, then that's unfair and unfortunate. I have my doubts, though.
Your beliefs are indeed ignorant, flatly contradicting an enormous body of scientific research. Any time you express them publicly, you should expect that people will point this out.
YouTube comments aren't good evidence of anything.
@ThinkingSpeck Not so. Why is it that I have to keep proving this. The constitution says nothing about religion. The bill of rights does. It doesn't say anything about the separation of church and state. That was a letter from Jefferson to a church.
My beliefs are not of your concern. We're free to worship as we wish. As provided by the bill of rights.
I feel the same way about your beliefs. However, I fell that you have a right to your opinion. Unlike you it seems.
The Bill of Rights is part of the US Constitution.
Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists is US legal precedent since it was cited in "Reynolds v. U.S." (1878).
Your private beliefs are indeed your own concern. Advocate them in public, however, and they're a legitimate target for criticism.
YouTube has many trolls and poes; I maintain that YouTube comments don't reliably represent any group. Shall I judge Christians by the vilest "Christian" comments on YouTube?
@ThinkingSpeck Please legal precedence. Lawyers arguing. Since when has our legal system been anything other than bought and paid for. I can site all the legal crap I want it means nothing. It was used by a goup of scared judges to set up a precedent. It holds no water. They weren't there to determine what Jefferson was really trying to explain to the Church. Besides it's not in any of the founding docs. As I stated.
Your Constitution guarantees separation of Church and State, regardless of whether you like that fact or "lawyers arguing". You are simply incorrect in saying that this separation isn't in the founding documents; I will say no more on it.
@ThinkingSpeck I can say the same for your beliefs. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean it's any more relevant than mine. So how many folks does it take in a democracy to make a change? Just because you don't agree doesn't make your opinion the one for everyone. As I've stated thousands of times. DON'T BELIEVE. That's your choice. However, you don't have the right to tell me how to worship.
I am no authority; I merely try to choose and update my opinions to match reality. Popular opinion doesn't determine the nature of reality; the universe doesn't care if we're wrong.
I won't tell you how (or whom) to worship. I will defend your right to worship whichever figment you choose and in whichever manner, whilever it doesn't hurt anyone else.
@ThinkingSpeck Should I judge all atheists by the examples down through history. So the same can be said by me. Yet it seems that it's OK for Atheist s to have an opinion and verbally force it down my throat by their comments and derogatory remarks? I think not. So I should have the same rights as you and others have. Don't you think? Or is this another shame?
When I state my opinions in public, they are indeed fair targets. I explicitly welcome intelligent criticism; among other things, it helps me to change my opinions whenever they're incorrect (which does happen occasionally).
If you state an opinion in a public forum, you cannot then claim that a reasoned response is unfairly forcing anything down your throat. If you are wrong in what you state publicly, we have the right to say so; that is free speech.
@ThinkingSpeck con't you asked for proof. I provided that. If you're not happy with the proof, well not my problem. It doesn't make my claims any less evidence of what I stated.
@1timby All satire has big grains of truth embedded within it. Science indeed discovered that spontaneous abortions occur in 30% of mammalian conceptions, and thus we inherited the word "abortion". It comes from Latin stem word "aboriri" which means "to miscarry".
@1timby God designed Abortion into the nature of all mammalian species as a normal part of our condition. At least 30% of all embryos spontaneously abort because that is God's way for us. We may not understand it, but he gave us the intelligence to develop advanced medical care to control our destinies so that every woman has a better chance of safely delivering a healthy child at the right time, to better our species, in his images. Amen!
@MsJuliaBarnes “That which is impenetrable to us really exists. Behind the secrets of nature remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion.”
― Albert Einstein
No human mind can attain the understanding of the form of being of which is called God/Big Bang.The Great Mystery. I'm not speaking of a personal God.Atheist or Spiritual nobody knows the truth.That is to me is the truth.
@bozolazic Einstein was still talking about physics and not god. He was a physicist. The Big Bang is not god nor vice versa. Better human minds than yours comprehend the mathematics behind the Big Bang. Please stop trying to use quotes about physics to support the idea of god. Thank you.
@MsJuliaBarnes Who is making an argument for god? Not I! I am making the argument for uncertainty.And I believe that the true scientists understand and agree to this point.
PS--Do you not believe in freedom of speech? The reason I ask is that you need permission to post a comment on your channel or do you not enjoy Richard Feynman?
What if the God in the Bible is really Satan. He is sure blood thirsty. He didn't want Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of knowledge, so he could control them. By the way, thanks Eve for getting your dumb ass husband to eat from the tree of knowledge or we would still be walking around like our fellow creatures who live or die on the whims of luck. His son (or himself) introduced eternal punishment to those that don't have wishful thinking.
Go girl ! It is a real pleasure to see such a bright light of intelligence.The current Religions will be looked back upon in the future the same as the old ones are today - anybody worried about Zeus throwing a lightning bolt at you?
Hold it. You forgot the people who usually spend most Saturdays in a kiddie pool fully of mini marshmallows watching old re-runs of 'Leave It To Beaver' and 'The Phil Silvers Show'. You have received letters from them, right...? Or am I the only one that these people write to...? Hello...?
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with complete support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
@kristijan0kroflin ...I am talking about the chosen people according to the bible. The Jewish people. How is it not racist to say that the Jewish people are the chosen people of God? What makes them so much better than everybody else? I thought God didn't show favortism. And if someone wants to say that its faith that makes people the chosen people, then why all this fuss about Jews and Hebrews and their birthline? Is there 2 definitions of chosen people? Sounds like a mistake cover up attempt.
Religion FUN! Join the PARTY! Don't be shy, jump in the God pool. Get that good ol' warm & fuzzy feeling, and I don't mean the one you get from touching yourself in your Devil Spot. C'mon, we need more groovy dudes & dudettes like YOU!!...
I think you talk about religion so much because you've been indoctrinated w/ the fairy tale religion of secular humanism..On the basis of objectivity and fairness, why don't you check out the recent article by Jackson Lears in the May 2011 issue of the New Republic. I too was always fascinated as a child with Egypt, Greek , and Roman mythology. However, I completely escapes me how one might confuse pantheistic and polytheistic cultural tales of demi-gods with the Omnipotent God of the Hebrew
dnv1. Piss on your religion and all the others. Religion can't get a free pass in a free society. By comparing insulting someone's mother to insulting religion you show how pathetic you really are. Is that the best you can do? Again piss on your religion and the holy ghost while I'm at it.
What's truly childish is adults believing silly fairy tales. Poor little baby has their feelings hurt. How sad.
Uh, yeah lady, It IS hurtful to have your God made fun of. Also, it's childish, and the was you said that in the video shows that ur a rude person who DOES make fun of others religion. If u have any care for others in you at all, you'd hate it if I decided to call your mother a slutty bitch, now wouldn't you? Dont get me wrong, i'm not calling her that. I dont know u or ur family. u could b great ppl. thepoint is that it's rude, really freaking stupid, and hurtful to make fun of others religion!
I was born into a catholic family. I was baptized. I went to catholic schools. 20 years ago I became an atheist because I allowed logic and reason to guide me.
Most atheists WERE at some point part of a religious organization...but we were all born atheists and THEN brought up to believe in lies.
I just lost a brother to suicide. One week later my dad died. Two months after that my mom died. Do I believe in god now? No. Am I sad that I won't see them when I die? No.
@DeathNoteVampire1 You are entitled to be treated with respect. You should expect your religious beliefs to be treated with the same respect you would give to any other god- Thor, Zeus, Satan, etc.
There are all kinds of Religions out, BUT ONLY one Religion of God which is Christianity! Jesus Proved himself to be divine; he had gone behind performing miracles. There were witnesses to all these and testified, and wrote what they saw in the Bible. Nobody has to believe it, but yes YOU WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
@MrFall2006 G_D. HOW DARE YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO WRITE THE FATHER OF LIFES NAME IN VAIN!?!? DO YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT TO DEFILE OUR FATHERS NAME IN SUCH AN UNRIGHTEOUS AND FOUL MANNER?!? YOU OUR DEFILING OUR FAITH!!!!
@MrFall2006 I enjoyed your dogma, which is what your first two sentences are. Your last sentence is just as the young lady said, only turned around slightly. What you said is, "If you don't believe it/what I believe, you will go to hell/not go to heaven. Proof of dogma for the first sentence lies in the fact that all religions say what you said. THEIR religion is the true one. So.....you get to war over that. How nice. You live in a belief system and are just too engrained to know it.
Srsly, I am one of the strongest atheist activists I know, but you are really not helping. Youre just condecending and widening the gap. You can treat people with respect without treating their believes with respect. Thats what we expect and we should not make the same mistakes like them.
Lets not forget the religion of atheism that is responsible for the slaughter of 250 million innocent people in the last 100 years alone. 1 World Trade center per day for 10 years. :-)
@bassman1993 What aspects of this video was "outlandish and overly exuberant "?
Atheists have as much right to voice their opinion as the faithful followers of a religion. While you may not like her statements, she has the right to voice them. You have the right to disagree. If atheists kept quiet then the faiths would continue to brainwash the population unopposed. Someone has to counterpoint their preaching.
I'm up for some of the comments if you still need someone to answer some of their questions any of em really. I'm very open minded to ideas and can give them answers from an Atheistic point of view. Right now I'm pretty much Buddhist, but I think I need to live threw life and experience more of everyone's thoughts and beliefs before I choose one for complete certainty if that makes since lol and you don't need anyone to answer any anymore then I'd like to hear your thoughts on oriental religion
and yeshu will save your life if you belive in him.. there will come many .. and no peace.. first the decieving.. and then if u stay with yehshu and DO NOT BELIVE IN THE DECIEVERS than u will see what's happening =)
belive me.. they wanna decieve me too men.. i am your proof.. let me be the one who tell you in the name of ישוע that they tried to decieve me haaard and badly.. but now .. i'm still praying to Ḡòḍ and belive in ישוע
@bassman1993 IF all religious organisations and youtube posters and preachers stopped completely spreading their faiths then you might have a point as atheists would be the aggressive ones. But considering reality is quite different, then freedom of speech works both ways. Religion affects the daily lives of atheists too.
Think of it this way. Imagine you paid a science tax, had to listen to scientific forumlas all day long, be imprisoned for wearing a cross, would YOU be quiet. Faith affects us
Out of all the people in the world I'm glad this bitch is gonna burn in Hell and not jus cuz she makes fun of religion but also cuz she's so fuckin annoying
Your tone of voice, gestures, and mannerism are clealy indicative of a person who demeans those who believe in God. Is this your way of demonstrating tolerance? Not all religious people are angry and rude. However, you seem to be quite the angry atheist whose demeanor is unfortunately pompous. Sorry if the truth hurts, but I guess -- to you -- there is no truth. May God have mercy on your soul as He did and continually does for me. Bye.
keep laughing and mocking God. its people like you that will be so sorry when your time comes. i do not threaten you its just fact that you are a lost soul serving in satans army if you know it or not. what happened in your life that made you like this? why make sickening videos if your life is so fulfilled? why do you feel you need to come on here doing this? you do not prove anything except that you are a sad bitter and heartless lady. may God show you the truth.
@olantern Not sure what religion you follow, but stating that the person posting this simple video is heartless and sad bitter for reading out nasty comments SENT to her from god fearing people who SEARCHED for her video and watched them volunterily. Its like someone blaming the rape victim for the crime instead of the criminals.
A lot of religious commenters do want atheists to shut up, to stop questioning the falsehoods of faiths, but since religious people preach, why shoud we stay quiet.
@HimesInu Everyone has freedom within the law - in the democratic world - to choose whichever faith (I prefer "faith" to "religion") they wish. I try to do as God says, most usually because he's right and I'm wrong, in truth! That's the way I've seen it.
But yeah, I'd never join the army for that reason, because both the UK and USA do get involved in illegal wars around the world for their own gain and I'd find it impossible to fight in a war like that, I guess.
@HimesInu Becoming a Christian should be a choice. I definitely know that I had the freedom to make a choice. I decided to become a Christian, someone who wants to learn about and follow Jesus. I wasn't forced into it by my parents (largely agnostic) or my older brother (whom I used to argue furiously with as a staunch atheist before!). And I disagree with imprisonment or execution. The US has never held permanent moral highground in war (e.g. Vietnam), neither has the UK (e.g. Suez Crisis).
@HimesInu Definitely not true! I am free to express myself (I love drama, dance, creative writing, football, economics, politics etc). I'm free within the UK law to do what I want as a citizen. God is a good dad and with any good dad there has to be rules and punishments if we disobey him, although he loves mercy and reconciliation far more than punishment, the reason why he sent Jesus down in our place. Oh, and I respect you for that btw, being an airman is a noble profession, I think.
@bassman1993 Why don't you get a life and stop watching shit you don't agree with. All you're doing is trolling and making an ass of yourself. Yes, you can say what you wish, but I'll tell you a secret. The same law that gives you the right to post what you did is the same law that gives her the right to make this video.
@andrewkeen24 As regards slavery in general - nearly missed that point there - the passage that the lady in this video uses in another video (Lev 27:1-8) talks about "dedication to the LORD", which is distinct. This is not slavery. Everyone has unlimited value to God, but not to men. Employment is an example where a value is placed on a person. This seems similar - employment by the Temple. Or perhaps the idea of monk-hood. These are my ideas on that passage.
@Amos1910 But you are not free. If you take an oath to follow any religion, or even any institution, you give up your right to choose. In the case of religion, you are forced to do as God says or you will be punished. Or, even more directly, for me anyway, I'm an Airmen, I gave up my freedom, my rights, to protect the freedoms and rights of others. How? If I don't do as the government tells me, I could be court marshaled. If found guilty, I could be discharged, imprisoned, or executed.
@andrewkeen24 By Biblical accounts, he was a great man at the very least, although we must note that - in complicated Hebrew terms - he made often misunderstood or glossed-over claims to deity.
I'll try and give the best response I can, but providing Biblical references would be helpful. I only want to defend my God and speak the truth as lovingly as possible. :)
@andrewkeen24 If you aren't, please find this passage about two angels raping children, because then I can try and respond. I have searched and asked about this passage, but cannot find it. I believe you are referring to Genesis 6, which is before the flood and answered below. Also, please cite the passage where selling your daughter into slavery is condoned. I could only find Nehemiah 5:5 that talked about slavery in the context of daughters.
@andrewkeen24 I believe you're referring to Gensis 6:1-8 .
Tackling each point individually, the first thing is that angels seem to have free-will just like human beings. In the passage, it does not say that God sent the angels (children of God), so we can safely assume they came of their own free-will and had sex with human women. It is condemned here. (though there is debate amongst theologians here)
@andrewkeen24 - (Sorry if this is going on a bit!) - The Bible can be really confusing; I wouldn't even come close to understanding all of it! If you want to quote anything at me, go ahead, I'll give it a read (if I don't know it) and come back to you with any thoughts. I'm not stupid, and without being too immodest, I'm fairly intelligent, though you may be (and probably are) older than me. I believe in a God who is the definition of love and who died for us - doesn't make me stupid!! :)
@Amos1910 I did assume that you were intelligent in the first place. If you look at my history on youtube you will see alot of instances where i simply attack religious people for their views. I do this just for fun as I honestly feel that they are delusional and should not argue that their delusions have a place in reality. With you on the other hand I first told you that I am not trying to attack you but merely trying to help. This is because I sensed some intelligence in you.
@Amos1910 And yes I am 21 so I am older than you. I have also studied quite a bit of physics, maths, chemistry, applied maths, and computer science so i'm reasonably knowledgeable in terms of science. I also know people with mental issues so I in no way mean to offend, it's just that I have a habit of referring to religion as psychosis.
@andrewkeen24 - well then, I can acknowledge you as perhaps an "intellectual superior" maybe? :)
Yes, well, not everyone who genuinely loves his God is a lunatic. Promise!! And it'd be useful if you found me the exact extract. I do know the *general* stuff about that passage, so I'll go on the basis what you're telling me is true. And if anything, that passage is meant to shock us. Rape is a sad thing and it says how God viewed this sickening act, with disgust. That's what I remember.
@andrewkeen24 - I think with these Old Testament passages, we are supposed to be shocked. It does not morally condone it, it morally condemns these acts of lust and sexual misconduct. Also, I'm fairly convinced the passage refers to two adults. Interestingly, I believe that Noah's flood follows on from that incident. I am not entirely sure whether to take that passage as literal or metaphorical, as several passages in Genesis were written in clear Hebrew poetic form, e.g. Tower of Babel.
@Amos1910 The problem with your response here is that you are reverting to the typical christian defence of this is literal and that metaphorical etc. My point is that if the bible is a supposedly holy book written by an unimaginabley supreme being then the book would probably not have anything to do with selling your own daughter into slavery ( which the bible condones) and even child rape for that matter.
@andrewkeen24 - Of course, I don't intend to avoid the issue, though equally I don't claim to be an expert!! I try and research these passages in the original Hebrew and in the wider context of what they are written. One good example of Jesus revolutionary thinking was on the issue of women, surprisingly. The story of Mary and Martha (if you are familiar with it), portrays one of the women sitting at Jesus' right hand, and Jesus permitting it. Understood in context, this means that....
@Amos1910 I won't deny that there possibly was a man named jesus who the bible is based on but I think that if he did exist, he would have been a great man and probably a medicine man (explains the healing miracle stories). You don't get famous enough to be known 2000 years later by being an arsehole if you see what I mean. I would be shocked if jesus did live and he supported women abuse lol.
@andrewkeen24 - ... She wanted to become a Rabbi / spiritual leader just like him. This was forbidden in the Hebrew culture and still is in the Catholic Church today, disappointingly. He taught the disgruntled sister Martha who was busy with preparations that it was okay for her to be inside with the group of all men listening to Jesus teach. That's just one example. Context is often key I think! It is morally good stuff, but with bits of sometimes horrible acts to condemn too.
@Amos1910 I just want you to understand that there is no excuse for the excessive violence and hatred portrayed in the bible. If I write a disusting book about raping children but I say that I don't actually want to rape children would you then read the book? No, because the book is about raping children. You see. This is the point I'm trying to get to you. There is a passage in the bible in which an angel anally rapes 2 little children.
@Amos1910 I have not read the passage myself but I know it is there somewhere, because my brother was read the passage during bible class at school when he was only 12 years old. The teacher went to another teacher just to try and get an explanation. I don't mean to be hurtful, but it is very difficult to explain away child rape with anything. To me, I look at the bible and I see a very disgusting book written by ancient people with no understanding of modern morals.
@andrewkeen24 - I know what's in the Bible. I even have some knowledge of the Hebrew/Greek in which it was written. There are many horrible stories, true! E.g. Lot and his two daughters. But when you actually read the passages, they do not morally permit them! Slavery is a good example. The original words used were more like an employee/employer type relationship. There were numerous laws in the Pentateuch given to protect their rights. I am completely against trafficking/slavery as was Jesus.
Religious folks are less wise than my six year old. I told her once that there was a monster under her bed but if she were to look it would make it self invisible. She told me "than that would be proof I was lying about the monster."
@arthurneddysmith - oh, true, such as Galileo, etc, right? Yeah, I make no effort to defend the institutionalised Church (Protestant *and* Catholic) for what they have done. Guess at best they're flawed men like us and at worst not believers at all. Many claim to have faith and have none (e.g. pedophile priests in the Catholic Church). Some scientists were Christian (Isaac Newton). I think my faith does help me to cope with life, but that doesn't necessarily invalidate it! :)
@blackkakari - As regards your 4th point, I can't say, really. I'm not one of those Christians who thinks "all Hindus/Muslims/etc are gonna go to hell" type thing. Though, I would say that my parents aren't Christian, yet I chose to become a Christian from my own free will. And as regards evil, who can say? Many good things can come from terrible evil - with natural disasters come aid relief. Charities are often founded from personal experience/suffering.
No, science and faith are not "both good". In fact, for a large part of the history of religion, scientists were executed for revealing evidence which contradicted what the faithful held to be true. It's true that in modern times the faithful have attempted to link their beliefs to science, but the reality remains: science denies the truth of faith in every way--except as some kind of psychological disorder or evolutionary coping/societal mechanism.
God exists! We just can't figure out why God lets so much horrible things happen when His love can intervene. Hmmm God shows great indifference to pain and suffering.
I'm a sixteen year old Christian living in the UK. I love science as much as I love my faith and my God. I'm by no means omniscient, but I do know what's in the Bible *and* what's scientifically true.
So many of these videos spark furious debate in the comments. Perhaps both sides miss the boat here. Science and faith are both good and most often co-exist together happily. Feel free to ask my anything, won't be offended, and I'll do my best to answer if I can!
@Amos1910 Science and faith cannot co-exist. For one thing, faith is the exact opposite of science; faith meaning you believe without question, and science meaning you constantly scrutinise your data and try to disprove it.
Secondly, the Bible contradicts science constantly (eg. saying the world rests on pillars). Also, how do you know your faith is correct when you'd just as strongly believe another faith depending on where you were raised? What evidence makes one faith more valid than another?
@blackkakari - I base my faith on what I can see and experience in nature and in human nature. Most things we know is usually true because someone else told us. I've never actually conducted experiments to prove the existence of the quark or any other sub-atomic particle, I believe it on good authority.
As regards the 2nd point, I don't know exactly where that quote comes from, but much of the Bible is poetry, e.g. Job, Psalms, Proverbs. The Bible's a library, not all of it is literal! :)
@Amos1910 1:There's a lot of literal, factually incorrect claims in the Bible if you look. 2: Study some psychology. Belief based on "feelings" is a common logical fallacy. 3: It matters WHO tells us. Scientists don't just pull this stuff out of their ass. 4: Just what ACTUAL, confirmable evidence do you have to support the existence of your god, let alone any god? Do you deny that had you grown up Hindu, you would have believed it any less strongly? 4: What about all the evils commanded by God?
@blackkakari - Firstly, just to say, I'm not claiming any kind of superiority, intellectual or moral or whatever. Just trying to give the best reply I can give. If you are going to claim that, please give me the evidence vs. quotation, because I know the Bible fairly well inc. original Hebrew meanings. And many scientists do work for their own ends, e.g. Pharmaceutical companies. And I have just as little evidence to support the fact my parents or friends love me. But I still believe.
@blackkakari - Well, I'm more than happy to look into it if you give me the *actual* quotes vs. evidence. True, but I wouldn't say my faith is based on feelings. Otherwise I'd just give up on my faith when life treats us harshly and the sun doesn't seem to shine. You know? Scientists often do make false claims/research. Such as the case with MMR vaccine & Dr. Wakefield, or most modern pharmaceutical companies too. Just a thought. (continued into another post for character limit)
@Amos1910 It's exactly the same idea with the common religions and god. I'm sure you havent seen god. If you think you have then you may have some mental issues. Just because your family has told you that god exists and millions of people believe in him it does not change the stupidity of the story. Try and understand that people are gullible in general. People have always believed the crap that is passed along through families. You could live your life fairy tale free if you just think properly
@andrewkeen24 - Again, I state the fact I've never been brought up as a Christian. I came to faith around about when I was 13/14 years old. I used to be a stubborn atheist before that and wouldn't tolerate anyone else's "ignorant" point of view. I've experienced God, yes and I don't have any mental problems, which is genuinely a harsh thing to say to anyone, so I'd generally refrain from that as several of my friends *do* have psychological issues.
@Amos191 Also consider the fact that the bible is absolutely full of sick stories to do with child murder and slavery. No loving god would write a story book about killing children. Be one of the stronger people and fight your way out of the delusional world of religion. Believe me, when you havent been brainwashed, it is easy to look at everything religion has to offer and dismiss it as psychosis.
The ape that we have inside yearns to have someone to guide him: He needs to believe that there are superior entities who can magically solve his problems. As children, we are always hoping that somebody will show up and take care of the situation. From this, cults are born that, in essence, are ways of leaving the responsibility for one's own growth in other people's hands.
A question for atheists. In a world where there's no proof of God's existence or of life after death; how do you explain to your children why you brought them into the world and why they should die?
Religious beleives are BS. It's too bad that you dont beleive in our creator, and just for the record YOU'RE VERY UNATTRACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May God be with you, you really should pray, and ask God to forgive your sins. REPENT beofe it's too late. AND PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE. Warn us when you're not going to have any sort of makeup on, b/c your scaring the shit out of me. ! God bless !
You poor little thing! I feel soooo bad for you, you must of been raised soooo horribly, if you dont believe in God . Your parents must of been atheist as well; well here is the thing. GOD IS REAL rather you believe it or NOT! You athesit THINK you know everything about the world, when really you dont. We only live in this world, you don't have no idea what or who is out there. But it's not my problem it's yours. So yeah keep being a sarcastic little atheist, and thinking that all of the
@fachini93 wow sorry to say but you seem pretty naive there, no one claims to know everything and besides what makes YOU right? To say instantaneously youre right without a scrap of evidence to back yourself up, then really youre not helping your case either. Give us some evidence and stop being an asshole to others just because you think you're the only right one. Honestly how old are you? wait bad question doesnt matter, youre mental age is immature enough
Even tho i think religions are crap.... nobady should make fun of other ppl who belive in religions and are nice ppl who actualy respect if your an atheist .
@petrino and you want some random guy to waste his time just to earn your respect? doesnt make any sense ... YOU! can show respect and not talk bulshit about a religious guy ...in front of him ( that aply only if the persone is a inteligent one ...if is a fanatic mothefuker religion who say "atheists suks " then you can make fun of him xD ).You got to agree with me on this one.
If the concept of Hell wasn't in the Bible, Christianity would never have gotten so big. Death is something that many people fear, and religion exploits it to turn people into mindless sheeps. With their false promises they can even make adults believe in talking snakes, lol. "Believe in everything I say or you won't get saved from eternal damnation"... riiight.

@1timby Winning at life. Winning at science. Winning at rationality. For example, you won't see me being so wrong in a comment as you!
Since you won't know, I assume you are trying to start an argument about abortion by mislabeling it as "killing babies". Wrong. You are also wrong about guilt being connected with religion. It's not. You're also wrong about insinuating that I wrote that there are more atheists in the world. I didn't. Citation is needed, at least, for your last claim.

@MsJuliaBarnes So what are you winning at? Science;Seems like science has enough problems getting things right. Rationality. Just your opinion that you're correct. Your wrong on all your comments. Not trying to start arguments. Abortions are killing babies, a fact. Whether you want to believe it or not is irrelevance. Maybe you should go and check the reports. More women are selecting this as a method of birth control. Again a fact. Otherwise the abortion rate would be falling and not rising.

-"Making folks remove crosses" refers actually to state-sponsored religious displays, which violate the constitutional separation of church and state.
-"Can't wear a cross" is just bizarre. Evidence, please?

@ThinkingSpeck Every church is state/you/I sponsored.
I've never forced anyone to pray, listen too me about Christianity, etc.
I have had folks make comments about me wearing a cross. Not particularly nice ones. However, I considered the source.
I do get a lot of folks (non believers) stating that my belief's are ignorant and some other derogatory comments. Watch a Dawkins vid sometime.

@1timby
Your constitution says that the government is not allowed to support any religion. No US church should be state-sponsored.
If you've had unprovoked criticisms for wearing a cross, then that's unfair and unfortunate. I have my doubts, though.
Your beliefs are indeed ignorant, flatly contradicting an enormous body of scientific research. Any time you express them publicly, you should expect that people will point this out.
YouTube comments aren't good evidence of anything.
ThinkingSpeck 4 weeks ago
@ThinkingSpeck Not so. Why is it that I have to keep proving this. The constitution says nothing about religion. The bill of rights does. It doesn't say anything about the separation of church and state. That was a letter from Jefferson to a church.
My beliefs are not of your concern. We're free to worship as we wish. As provided by the bill of rights.
I feel the same way about your beliefs. However, I fell that you have a right to your opinion. Unlike you it seems.
1timby 4 weeks ago
@1timby
The Bill of Rights is part of the US Constitution.
Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists is US legal precedent since it was cited in "Reynolds v. U.S." (1878).
Your private beliefs are indeed your own concern. Advocate them in public, however, and they're a legitimate target for criticism.
YouTube has many trolls and poes; I maintain that YouTube comments don't reliably represent any group. Shall I judge Christians by the vilest "Christian" comments on YouTube?

It was used by a goup of scared judges to set up a precedent. It holds no water. They weren't there to determine what Jefferson was really trying to explain to the Church. Besides it's not in any of the founding docs. As I stated.

@ThinkingSpeck I can say the same for your beliefs. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean it's any more relevant than mine. So how many folks does it take in a democracy to make a change?

However, you don't have the right to tell me how to worship.

@ThinkingSpeck Should I judge all atheists by the examples down through history. So the same can be said by me.

So I should have the same rights as you and others have. Don't you think? Or is this another shame?
1timby 3 weeks ago
@1timby
When I state my opinions in public, they are indeed fair targets. I explicitly welcome intelligent criticism; among other things, it helps me to change my opinions whenever they're incorrect (which does happen occasionally).
If you state an opinion in a public forum, you cannot then claim that a reasoned response is unfairly forcing anything down your throat. If you are wrong in what you state publicly, we have the right to say so; that is free speech.

@olantern Not sure what religion you follow, but stating that the person posting this simple video is heartless and sad bitter for reading out nasty comments SENT to her from god fearing people who SEARCHED for her video and watched them volunterily. Its like someone blaming the rape victim for the crime instead of the criminals.
A lot of religious commenters do want atheists to shut up, to stop questioning the falsehoods of faiths, but since religious people preach, why shoud we stay quiet.

@HimesInu Everyone has freedom within the law - in the democratic world - to choose whichever faith (I prefer "faith" to "religion") they wish. I try to do as God says, most usually because he's right and I'm wrong, in truth! That's the way I've seen it.
But yeah, I'd never join the army for that reason, because both the UK and USA do get involved in illegal wars around the world for their own gain and I'd find it impossible to fight in a war like that, I guess.

@HimesInu Becoming a Christian should be a choice. I definitely know that I had the freedom to make a choice. I decided to become a Christian, someone who wants to learn about and follow Jesus. I wasn't forced into it by my parents (largely agnostic) or my older brother (whom I used to argue furiously with as a staunch atheist before!). And I disagree with imprisonment or execution. The US has never held permanent moral highground in war (e.g. Vietnam), neither has the UK (e.g. Suez Crisis).

@HimesInu Definitely not true! I am free to express myself (I love drama, dance, creative writing, football, economics, politics etc). I'm free within the UK law to do what I want as a citizen. God is a good dad and with any good dad there has to be rules and punishments if we disobey him, although he loves mercy and reconciliation far more than punishment, the reason why he sent Jesus down in our place. Oh, and I respect you for that btw, being an airman is a noble profession, I think.

@andrewkeen24 As regards slavery in general - nearly missed that point there - the passage that the lady in this video uses in another video (Lev 27:1-8) talks about "dedication to the LORD", which is distinct. This is not slavery. Everyone has unlimited value to God, but not to men. Employment is an example where a value is placed on a person. This seems similar - employment by the Temple. Or perhaps the idea of monk-hood. These are my ideas on that passage.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 But you are not free. If you take an oath to follow any religion, or even any institution, you give up your right to choose. In the case of religion, you are forced to do as God says or you will be punished. Or, even more directly, for me anyway, I'm an Airmen, I gave up my freedom, my rights, to protect the freedoms and rights of others. How? If I don't do as the government tells me, I could be court marshaled. If found guilty, I could be discharged, imprisoned, or executed.

@andrewkeen24 By Biblical accounts, he was a great man at the very least, although we must note that - in complicated Hebrew terms - he made often misunderstood or glossed-over claims to deity.
I'll try and give the best response I can, but providing Biblical references would be helpful. I only want to defend my God and speak the truth as lovingly as possible. :)
Amos1910 7 months ago
@andrewkeen24 If you aren't, please find this passage about two angels raping children, because then I can try and respond. I have searched and asked about this passage, but cannot find it. I believe you are referring to Genesis 6, which is before the flood and answered below. Also, please cite the passage where selling your daughter into slavery is condoned. I could only find Nehemiah 5:5 that talked about slavery in the context of daughters.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@andrewkeen24 I believe you're referring to Gensis 6:1-8 .
Tackling each point individually, the first thing is that angels seem to have free-will just like human beings. In the passage, it does not say that God sent the angels (children of God), so we can safely assume they came of their own free-will and had sex with human women. It is condemned here. (though there is debate amongst theologians here)

@andrewkeen24 - (Sorry if this is going on a bit!) - The Bible can be really confusing; I wouldn't even come close to understanding all of it! If you want to quote anything at me, go ahead, I'll give it a read (if I don't know it) and come back to you with any thoughts. I'm not stupid, and without being too immodest, I'm fairly intelligent, though you may be (and probably are) older than me. I believe in a God who is the definition of love and who died for us - doesn't make me stupid!! :)
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 I did assume that you were intelligent in the first place. If you look at my history on youtube you will see alot of instances where i simply attack religious people for their views. I do this just for fun as I honestly feel that they are delusional and should not argue that their delusions have a place in reality. With you on the other hand I first told you that I am not trying to attack you but merely trying to help. This is because I sensed some intelligence in you.
andrewkeen24 7 months ago
@Amos1910 And yes I am 21 so I am older than you. I have also studied quite a bit of physics, maths, chemistry, applied maths, and computer science so i'm reasonably knowledgeable in terms of science. I also know people with mental issues so I in no way mean to offend, it's just that I have a habit of referring to religion as psychosis.

@andrewkeen24 - well then, I can acknowledge you as perhaps an "intellectual superior" maybe? :)
Yes, well, not everyone who genuinely loves his God is a lunatic. Promise!! And it'd be useful if you found me the exact extract. I do know the *general* stuff about that passage, so I'll go on the basis what you're telling me is true. And if anything, that passage is meant to shock us. Rape is a sad thing and it says how God viewed this sickening act, with disgust. That's what I remember.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 Are angels not God's workers? So why would he send his angel to rape two children if he viewed rape as sickening?
andrewkeen24 7 months ago
@andrewkeen24 - I think with these Old Testament passages, we are supposed to be shocked. It does not morally condone it, it morally condemns these acts of lust and sexual misconduct. Also, I'm fairly convinced the passage refers to two adults. Interestingly, I believe that Noah's flood follows on from that incident. I am not entirely sure whether to take that passage as literal or metaphorical, as several passages in Genesis were written in clear Hebrew poetic form, e.g. Tower of Babel.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 The problem with your response here is that you are reverting to the typical christian defence of this is literal and that metaphorical etc. My point is that if the bible is a supposedly holy book written by an unimaginabley supreme being then the book would probably not have anything to do with selling your own daughter into slavery ( which the bible condones) and even child rape for that matter.
andrewkeen24 7 months ago
@andrewkeen24 - Of course, I don't intend to avoid the issue, though equally I don't claim to be an expert!! I try and research these passages in the original Hebrew and in the wider context of what they are written. One good example of Jesus revolutionary thinking was on the issue of women, surprisingly. The story of Mary and Martha (if you are familiar with it), portrays one of the women sitting at Jesus' right hand, and Jesus permitting it. Understood in context, this means that....
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 I won't deny that there possibly was a man named jesus who the bible is based on but I think that if he did exist, he would have been a great man and probably a medicine man (explains the healing miracle stories). You don't get famous enough to be known 2000 years later by being an arsehole if you see what I mean. I would be shocked if jesus did live and he supported women abuse lol.
andrewkeen24 7 months ago
@andrewkeen24 - ... She wanted to become a Rabbi / spiritual leader just like him. This was forbidden in the Hebrew culture and still is in the Catholic Church today, disappointingly. He taught the disgruntled sister Martha who was busy with preparations that it was okay for her to be inside with the group of all men listening to Jesus teach. That's just one example. Context is often key I think! It is morally good stuff, but with bits of sometimes horrible acts to condemn too.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 I just want you to understand that there is no excuse for the excessive violence and hatred portrayed in the bible. If I write a disusting book about raping children but I say that I don't actually want to rape children would you then read the book? No, because the book is about raping children. You see. This is the point I'm trying to get to you. There is a passage in the bible in which an angel anally rapes 2 little children.
andrewkeen24 7 months ago
@Amos1910 I have not read the passage myself but I know it is there somewhere, because my brother was read the passage during bible class at school when he was only 12 years old. The teacher went to another teacher just to try and get an explanation. I don't mean to be hurtful, but it is very difficult to explain away child rape with anything. To me, I look at the bible and I see a very disgusting book written by ancient people with no understanding of modern morals.
andrewkeen24 7 months ago
@andrewkeen24 - I know what's in the Bible. I even have some knowledge of the Hebrew/Greek in which it was written. There are many horrible stories, true! E.g. Lot and his two daughters. But when you actually read the passages, they do not morally permit them! Slavery is a good example. The original words used were more like an employee/employer type relationship. There were numerous laws in the Pentateuch given to protect their rights. I am completely against trafficking/slavery as was Jesus.

@arthurneddysmith - oh, true, such as Galileo, etc, right? Yeah, I make no effort to defend the institutionalised Church (Protestant *and* Catholic) for what they have done. Guess at best they're flawed men like us and at worst not believers at all. Many claim to have faith and have none (e.g. pedophile priests in the Catholic Church). Some scientists were Christian (Isaac Newton). I think my faith does help me to cope with life, but that doesn't necessarily invalidate it! :)
Amos1910 7 months ago
@blackkakari - As regards your 4th point, I can't say, really. I'm not one of those Christians who thinks "all Hindus/Muslims/etc are gonna go to hell" type thing. Though, I would say that my parents aren't Christian, yet I chose to become a Christian from my own free will. And as regards evil, who can say? Many good things can come from terrible evil - with natural disasters come aid relief. Charities are often founded from personal experience/suffering.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910
No, science and faith are not "both good". In fact, for a large part of the history of religion, scientists were executed for revealing evidence which contradicted what the faithful held to be true. It's true that in modern times the faithful have attempted to link their beliefs to science, but the reality remains: science denies the truth of faith in every way--except as some kind of psychological disorder or evolutionary coping/societal mechanism.

I'm a sixteen year old Christian living in the UK. I love science as much as I love my faith and my God. I'm by no means omniscient, but I do know what's in the Bible *and* what's scientifically true.
So many of these videos spark furious debate in the comments. Perhaps both sides miss the boat here. Science and faith are both good and most often co-exist together happily. Feel free to ask my anything, won't be offended, and I'll do my best to answer if I can!
Peace all! :) xx
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 Science and faith cannot co-exist. For one thing, faith is the exact opposite of science; faith meaning you believe without question, and science meaning you constantly scrutinise your data and try to disprove it.
Secondly, the Bible contradicts science constantly (eg. saying the world rests on pillars). Also, how do you know your faith is correct when you'd just as strongly believe another faith depending on where you were raised? What evidence makes one faith more valid than another?
blackkakari 7 months ago
@blackkakari - I base my faith on what I can see and experience in nature and in human nature. Most things we know is usually true because someone else told us. I've never actually conducted experiments to prove the existence of the quark or any other sub-atomic particle, I believe it on good authority.
As regards the 2nd point, I don't know exactly where that quote comes from, but much of the Bible is poetry, e.g. Job, Psalms, Proverbs. The Bible's a library, not all of it is literal! :)
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 1:There's a lot of literal, factually incorrect claims in the Bible if you look. 2: Study some psychology. Belief based on "feelings" is a common logical fallacy. 3: It matters WHO tells us. Scientists don't just pull this stuff out of their ass. 4: Just what ACTUAL, confirmable evidence do you have to support the existence of your god, let alone any god? Do you deny that had you grown up Hindu, you would have believed it any less strongly? 4: What about all the evils commanded by God?
blackkakari 7 months ago
@blackkakari - Firstly, just to say, I'm not claiming any kind of superiority, intellectual or moral or whatever. Just trying to give the best reply I can give. If you are going to claim that, please give me the evidence vs. quotation, because I know the Bible fairly well inc. original Hebrew meanings. And many scientists do work for their own ends, e.g. Pharmaceutical companies. And I have just as little evidence to support the fact my parents or friends love me. But I still believe.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@blackkakari - Well, I'm more than happy to look into it if you give me the *actual* quotes vs. evidence. True, but I wouldn't say my faith is based on feelings. Otherwise I'd just give up on my faith when life treats us harshly and the sun doesn't seem to shine. You know? Scientists often do make false claims/research. Such as the case with MMR vaccine & Dr. Wakefield, or most modern pharmaceutical companies too. Just a thought. (continued into another post for character limit)
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos1910 It's exactly the same idea with the common religions and god. I'm sure you havent seen god. If you think you have then you may have some mental issues. Just because your family has told you that god exists and millions of people believe in him it does not change the stupidity of the story. Try and understand that people are gullible in general. People have always believed the crap that is passed along through families. You could live your life fairy tale free if you just think properly
andrewkeen24 7 months ago
@andrewkeen24 - Again, I state the fact I've never been brought up as a Christian. I came to faith around about when I was 13/14 years old. I used to be a stubborn atheist before that and wouldn't tolerate anyone else's "ignorant" point of view. I've experienced God, yes and I don't have any mental problems, which is genuinely a harsh thing to say to anyone, so I'd generally refrain from that as several of my friends *do* have psychological issues.
Amos1910 7 months ago
@Amos191 Also consider the fact that the bible is absolutely full of sick stories to do with child murder and slavery. No loving god would write a story book about killing children. Be one of the stronger people and fight your way out of the delusional world of religion. Believe me, when you havent been brainwashed, it is easy to look at everything religion has to offer and dismiss it as psychosis.

The ape that we have inside yearns to have someone to guide him: He needs to believe that there are superior entities who can magically solve his problems. As children, we are always hoping that somebody will show up and take care of the situation. From this, cults are born that, in essence, are ways of leaving the responsibility for one's own growth in other people's hands.
