@gerinja Regardless of what side you are on with regard to theism, claiming atheists are the "least trusted group in society" is absolutely ridiculous. The vast majority of the highly educated people throughout the world, who we trust on a daily basis with their inventions, designs, and innovations (both practical and theoretical) on a daily basis, with essentially every aspect of our lives- that is a LOT of trust. Furthermore, statistics indicate that atheists are remarkably....
And you ask who says that the Universe needs to be created... Science explains the beginning with the Big Bang theory which states that particles (meaning MATTER which have already been created) were condensed so that it created an enormous fission effect were all the particles were released with pressure from the fission and scattered around forming what we know as the Universe! This event does not disprove the existence of a God because a God had to have created the matter in the first place!

Hey ShwaNerd, I enjoyed your input on the Atheist Experience.
I'm sure this question has been asked but I was wondering what has happened in your life ever since you called to the show (have you made footage, how did the camp go to for you, have you come out of the closet)? Could you give cliff notes or something?
This is getting a favourite. Its so hard to find a clip of this show with a coherent caller. The way you articulate yourself is astounding, especially considering that your even younger than me lol.
Godidit! That's the answer to everything :) Who needs science when you can just say godidit? When asked about thunder - godidit, origin of life - godidit, earthquakes - godidit. You evil atheists also need to teach the controversy, teach all the creation stories of all religions!
HAHAHAaaaaaa This is so stupid! I can't believe this! What's funnier than three idiots laughing about something they're so clueless about! ShwaNerd, you are a result of someone who's been sleeping in Church way too long! I do blame the Church for this, I mean I was almost as stupid as you once, so bored and tired & never listening to any of the sermons, I'm glad I changed, or rather the Church changed! We have great sermons & awesome music now & I will never be as foolish as you any more!
@qwecars You'll never be as foolish as I was any more? Yeah, I was pretty damn foolish back when I believed in bronze-age mythology like Christianity.
@ShwaNerd I wonder were you got the idea that I was referring to "you" in past tense. It's amazing how much one can manipulate an obvious point just to make it fit their own needs. You are the perfect example of such foolishness.
@ShwaNerd Actually it seems to me that you are the one who's "pissed off". Seems like you fooled yourself. I wonder where you got the idea that I was angry. Just another example of your foolishness I suppose?
@qwecars I'm not sure why you like to use that f-word so much. Big fan of Psalm 14:1 are we? Why don't you educate me then, on what you believe and why you believe it to be true.
@ShwaNerd There you go making your Foolish statements again! Here I go again, explaining myself, when it is quite simple to understand even for the most stubborn. I do NOT "like" using the 'F' word, but it's the ONLY way to describe your reasoning and your closed minded ideas!
@ShwaNerd You already know the answer to that. You're just asking questions which I'm sure you have already asked yourself, except you answered your questions the way you wanted them answered. Therefor you are only believing in what you "want" to be true instead of what the truth really is. I'm not going to tell you what to believe because that would be a futile argument. But I will ask you to review what you believe in. Start from the beginning... to how we got here. What REALLY makes sense?
@qwecars I spent several years reviewing what I believed, I was a fundamentalist christian most of my life. Then I actually read the whole Bible cover to cover, and it was one of the best arguments I've ever read against the existence of an omnibenevolent God. I have evaluated my beliefs constantly for the past few years. Oh yeah and I know how I got here. My parents had sex, and then lookie here's a baby. Makes perfect sense.
@qwecars I know you really mean "how did people get here". Humans evolved just like every other primate species that exists today. Do you not understand biology?
@ShwaNerd I understand Biology just as anybody else! However, Biology doesn't explain anything from the beginning. I asked you to "Start from the beginning.... to how we got here." And I mean We as in people, obviously! So YES you are correct about me referring to PEOPLE!
@qwecars Some of the oldest known archaic homo sapiens lived at least 250,000 years ago. You could consider that the first "people" if you want to. It's not that hard to understand, humans (PEOPLE!!) and other modern primates diverged from a common ancestor a couple million years ago.
@ShwaNerd I understand what you are trying to say, but you still fail to explain from "the beginning"! Even to go as far back as to when we were just a cell. It's quite similar to the Chicken or the egg question! An egg is a cell. How did it get here? There must have been something to put it there. Evolution really doesn't explain this at all! I have been studying Evolution & Biology for many years now & it has never succeeded to explained anything from the beginning.
@qwecars Well therein lies your problem! You obviously have not even the faintest understanding of what evolution even explains. Evolution deals with the diversification of life, NOT with the origins of life. You asked for the beginning of HUMANS, and neglect to admit that you actually were commenting on the beginning of life in general. THAT IS NOT EVOLUTION. The beginning of life on earth falls under the study of Abiogenesis. Learn about abiogenesis, then maybe you'll understand better.
@qwecars I asked you how WE got here, and I said START FROM THE "BEGINNING"! How we HUMANS got here, FROM THE "BEGINNING"!!!! Which means you would need to trace back to the first cell. You do not need to change the question simply because you cannot answer it. And you cannot do so because Evolution does not provide an answer for it!
@qwecars The first cell is not nearly the same fucking thing as the first human, and you are dodging the answers that have already been given to you. Evolution does not provide an answer for your idiotic question because EVOLUTION DOESN'T DEAL WITH THE ORIGINS OF LIFE YOU FUCKING IDIOT. If you aren't even willing to learn the proper fields for this, then I see no point in trying. Learn about abiogenesis, or keep your ignorance to yourself.
@ShwaNerd Look who's "pissed off" now! Atheists have such a short temper because they cannot handle the truth. You see, if there was no God, you wouldn't have a reason to be so angry, obviously the fact that you may be facing eternal hell is too frightening for you to handle.
@qwecars I can't be angry at a God that I don't even believe exists. I'm very frustrated that you are so willfully ignorant of science that you can't learn anything for yourself. I leave you to your ignorance, troll somewhere else with your inane bullshit.
@ShwaNerd Now you don't even make any sense, you sound like you're bashing your head on the keyboard. You contradict yourself over and over again without stopping to notice how completely irrational you are. Your ignorance makes it impossible for anyone to successfully communicate with you. I wonder why you bothered to even make a youtube account when you are too closed minded to even consider another possible explanation. I tried to help you, now you're on your own. bye bye!
Pretty sure you're just getting trolled man. I've been avoiding shock of god for a while because I can't afford to smash my monitor by I don't even think HE is this dumb.
@qwecars Always so quick to point out the anger in atheists. Nice, how that works. You allow your ignorance to guide your argument 'till it ends up angering an atheist who is trying to get you to understand what you are talking about and then switch the talking point to, "Look at how angry you are." Of course that always seems to happen when a Creationist/Religious opposer begins losing the argument.
@qwecars I think you're projecting here. "Christians" are notorious for doing that as a way of avoiding taking an honest look at themselves. Most of us don't claim there is no god, but that there is no evidence to support the existence of any god. The atheist "movement" is in large part a response to the arrogance, hypocrisy, presumptuousness, bigotry, credulity and hard-heartedness of "christianity" in this country. It is a self-mocking system and you bring it on yourselves.
@richwfd2002 Actually Atheism IS claiming that there's no God! Claiming that there's no evidence to support the existence of a God is called Agnosticism! Actually agnosticism goes both ways, it states that there is no proof that a God exists, & that there is also no proof that a God doesn't exist! If "most of you don't claim that there is no God" then most of you are not Atheists!
@qwecars Well, it depends on what source you look at. Some sources define it as lack of belief, or the position I took, while others define it as total rejection of the existence of any deity. I personally do not care either way, and my larger point was not acknowledged; "christians" bring much of it on themselves and then refuse to take any resposibility for it. I know you won't agree, but I've seen too much evidence in my 46 years to support my conclusion.
@qwecars If you have to ask, then you must not be looking, but here goes. It's been my observations that so-called "faith" is inherently dishonest. Even the term is a misnomer. Emotional appeal would be more accurate. None of the gospel writers ever even met Jesus and they were anonymous, with the names being added later. This amounts to hearsay on the part of believers. Then they have the gall to cherry pick verses to validate their prejudices and condemn others. I could go on, but 500..
@qwecars Sorry but no, atheism is the lack of belief in god.
Atheism and theism is about what you believe and not believe, agnosticism and gnosticism deals with what you know and not know, I am an agnostic atheist since I don't believe in god yet i don't claim to know he doesn't exist.
I can't prove there is no god, but you know what else I can't prove? fairies, now should we believe that too since we can't prove them?
@THADI0US No, fairies don't make any logical sense, and there is no reason for fairies in this world. A God is needed in order for us to exist because MATTER cannot be created by other matter! For MATTER to exist, it is only logical that something supernatural, something not OF matter, like a God, had to create this!
@qwecars So you are saying that because you don't where matter comes from then a magical being created it, for starters who says the universe needs to be created, second where would your god come from he would also need a creator, some theist claim that he doesn't because they claim there can't be an infinite regression yet they provide nothing as to why not.
This my friend is a good example of the god of the gaps, if you don't know something then god did it.
@THADI0US Wow, is everything I'm saying just going in one ear and out the other for you ??? I already told you, it's not that we don't KNOW were matter came from..... we know that matter cannot be created by other matter, God is NOT OF MATTER therefor he doesn't need to be created. He was and is forever and time did not exist before he created it!
@THADI0US & you ask who says that the Universe needs to be created... Science explains the beginning with the Big Bang theory which states that particles (meaning MATTER that's already been created) were condensed so that it created an enormous fission effect where all the particles were released with pressure from the fission & scattered around forming what we know as the Universe!
@qwecars Did you even read my comment? You have to prove that a god exist, so far all you have proved is that you don't know therefore you assume it has to be magic, just like people have done through out history, "where does lightning come from?" "Oh yeah it comes from Thor's hammer" "What's the sun?" "Oh thats apollo on his flaming chariot".
Every time someone doesn't know something they make up a magical being to make them feel better and not so afraid of the unknown.
@qwecars Well, for a guy who attempted to challenge a field of science while demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge in it, you're hardly in any position to laugh at others.
By the way, even IF science does not yet have an answer to something, it doesn't mean "godidit" automatically becomes the correct answer. Believing that you know is not the same as actually knowing.
@gupsphoo Actually I've studied biology in the University of Wyoming for 2 years. I think I must have some understanding of science! You do not know me so you are in no position to judge me.
@gupsphoo I did not "attempt to challenge" anything. I simply asked him a question that he did not have an answer for. "Gododit"? I don't know. But I can use my ability to put two and two together and see what makes sense. To me, the Big Bang and Evolution sounds like a highly imaginative story with no beginning or end!
Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. Servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. Are you the enemy of GOD sowing bad seed?
First realize your a sinner...Believe in your heart God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, confess him as Lord, ask him to forgive your sins (repent of them), wash you in his blood, and make you his child. Read and obey the Gospel, it has the power to save your soul.
@rbright79 Sorry, i'm too enlightened for the crap arguments, bottom feeder arguments. The answer is obvious if you have half a brain, I'm sick of thinking for delusional, indoctrinated theists, work it out for yourself.
@mrgodbehere "bottom feeder arguments"? Sorry my friend. It is you who has issues with God, not me. And who asked you to think for me? I can think for myself, and the heavens declare the work of his hands. Creation itself states a creator. I feel sorry for you.
GOD laughs, where, when????? Whats god, is it real?, so many quiestion you cant answer, and you already defend such a crazy idea like , GOD hahahahahhaha.
Saviour, from what????? Ok believe that wemen was created from a human RIB that make sense. actually, we are cousins of the apes, not sons, the evolution took place in 6.000.000.000 years, many peaces are left, but they will be filled sooner or later!!! , but believing that some supernatural being created everithing in 6 days!! that make sense
Saved from sin - and the penalty of sin - hell! It is so easy to explain evolution away by claiming the "6,000,000,000 years argument". A pile of slime will stil be a pile of slime no matter how many billions of years it sits there. Please wake up. Evolution is a delusion and is a fantasy to say that one animal turns into another. It sounds more like a script for a kid's cartoon. And the missing evolution gaps don't exist - and therefore will never, ever be found.
it doesnt turn, read the theory please! "Simple organisms becoming more complex during the pass of time" thats the IDEA.
Let me ask u a quiestion, if god is so powerfull and all loving, why does he or she, invented SIN. Why didnt he made a perfect world??? is this awfull work with this planet proof that god, does not exist??
Some atheists have done their homework, gone through the intellectual arguments for and against the existence of God, and arrived at a thoughtful atheistic position but most have no real understanding of what Christianity is.
For anyone who wants to learn more about the other side of the debate, my channel has some info that you might find interesting.
And back then I wasn't even saying he was because he was an atheist LOL. I just thought a couple of he's videos are lame. But other than that I don't have much wrong with this ShwaNerd dude.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Like I care, I can't care what atheists say because they are obviously dumb. They just put on a front to be smart. Derrrr. Get a life weirdo! Stop fronting to be smart and start acting smart then I'll believe you niggers. Peace out!
Magically Multiplying Macaroni. That's some funny shit right there. They genuinely think this is some form of miracle. If god was really looking out for them they would have had a thanksgiving dinner in the cupboard.
Oh yes they are. Everytime I see one on here, all I here is this emo whining about how their mommies didn't spoil them enough. It's like Atheists and Evangelical Christians need to go off and cry together.
I'm not gonna be a douche and say "No you are the bla bla bla.."
But I can surely say that most atheists (without the capital A) are not "momma's boy" since the ones who are atheist usually are pretty independent, since we don't depend on a "deity", and we depend on real things, which not always is a pleasant thing.
Jetfire, calling all atheist "momma's boy" is just a retarded statement.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, like you guys have any real problems to deal with. I can't tell who are bigger pansies, you guys or Evangelicals. Tell you what, go off to an island somewhere, start a support group and cry about the problems in the world you don't have.
If you need a made up imaginary friend to get through your problems, then you are fucked up. Get real and face real world problems with real world tools.
If you have so many damn problems that you can't sort out without skydaddy, why the fuck don't you shoot yourself to go up to suck his dick and stop making a fool of yourself in the eyes of us earthly beings?
We did need God to get us through our problems - sin! The problem that faces the whole of mankind. All descendants of Adam need to be delivered and forgiven of sin. Jesus Christ is the ONLY deliverer. Yes! You are right. We can not make it without His help. We would automatically be lost forever. Jesus gives us a way out.
Hi, ShwaNerd. I watched some other videos of you, and I clearly see your face. How can you be atheist in the closet, if your relatives can see you on youtube? I thought you completly anonymous, when I heard you on AExp#611.
I still can't wait to see the documentary, even if it has shitty quality. I hope it won't though. I live only a few blocks from a church, no idea what type of church it is though. I've thought about going, just to get a first hand account of what some churches in my area are up to. I know I would remain silent and just listen, I have before, even though the priest stood up for 10 minutes, saying the same thing but phrasing it differently about 5 times.
Hey, that was excellent. You did really well & no faltering. I think they also enjoyed hearing what you had to say, especially the jesus camp. If you do get good footage you should think about sending them some, that would be great.
They are paying for some of it, but I'm going to university for history/archaeology. I don't think they'd keep my education from me, even if I was going for biology/evolution etc.
The conservative party of Canada has won the last two elections (for some reason) when the liberal party had previously been in control for like 60 years. The conservatives are a minority, which makes it a "weird" government since all the other parties can team up and trump the vote of the ruling party! It's an awkward situation, but I'm hoping the liberals get elected again as soon as possible.
That was fucking awesome man, I can't believe you kept up that whole conversation with people who are like idols without stuttering or faltering. Good job man, I may have to do this myself at some point.
Just this year actually. He never used to go to church, and after several years of my mom constantly hassling him to come, we all went together since I was like 10 years old. He was raised Catholic, and didn't like it then. He didn't find pentecostals an improvement, that's for sure!
One way to get it too your parents would be wait until camp and knock some lass up, every camp has a slut (just make sure you wear a condom) and get caught on purpose, you mum will hit the fucking roof and telling her your an atheist wont sink in very fast and won't be the main issue till she's calmed down.
best of luck leaving the cult...i can't imagine what it is like not having come from deeply religious family but i hope you succeed in coming out without too many negative reactions. And youtube the camp footage...it's amazing to see how crazy the fundies actually are
Awesome.....and I mean you, James, not your video. Although I have to say you handle yourself on air like a pro.
I was VERY worried listening at the beginning that, if you were to out yourself, you would end up on the street. In which case I'd tell you to pray and babble with the rest of them for a few years more. But if you're dad is cool then just wait until the time is right, which will probably be the exact same time you can take no more.
im glad my dad,who is super christian( republican from new jersey) is cool with me being an atheist, but my mom who was raised catholic and is now somewhat deist( she denies the word deist via ignorance) wants me to believe in some kind of god. wow, talk about reversing roles lol
I told my family about my disbelief in gods and religion, they were okay with it. My mother believes in god and so does my father, I explained to them the situation and they never gave me a word of disapproval.
Your lucky, it took me up until the age of 21 to figure out the absurdity of religion. Up until then I was the kind of person who thought in the back of my mind that there was no God but still believed out of fear.
Honestly, up until 17 I never really cared about going to church and I thought it was absurd to confess "sins" to another human being.
I use to be Catholic and I went to church retreats and church school. The shit they told us about sex and abstinence was far from the truth.
Science can't even cure the common cold!

Most of us don't claim there is no god, but that there is no evidence to support the existence of any god. The atheist "movement" is in large part a response to the arrogance, hypocrisy, presumptuousness, bigotry, credulity and hard-heartedness of "christianity" in this country. It is a self-mocking system and you bring it on yourselves.
richwfd2002 1 year ago
@richwfd2002 Actually Atheism IS claiming that there's no God! Claiming that there's no evidence to support the existence of a God is called Agnosticism! Actually agnosticism goes both ways, it states that there is no proof that a God exists, & that there is also no proof that a God doesn't exist! If "most of you don't claim that there is no God" then most of you are not Atheists!
qwecars 1 year ago
@qwecars Well, it depends on what source you look at. Some sources define it as lack of belief, or the position I took, while others define it as total rejection of the existence of any deity. I personally do not care either way, and my larger point was not acknowledged; "christians" bring much of it on themselves and then refuse to take any resposibility for it. I know you won't agree, but I've seen too much evidence in my 46 years to support my conclusion.
richwfd2002 1 year ago
@richwfd2002 Your point cannot be acknowledged for it is not clear! Exactly WHAT are we "christians" bringing much of upon ourselves?!
qwecars 1 year ago
@qwecars If you have to ask, then you must not be looking, but here goes. It's been my observations that so-called "faith" is inherently dishonest. Even the term is a misnomer. Emotional appeal would be more accurate. None of the gospel writers ever even met Jesus and they were anonymous, with the names being added later. This amounts to hearsay on the part of believers. Then they have the gall to cherry pick verses to validate their prejudices and condemn others. I could go on, but 500..
richwfd2002 1 year ago
@qwecars Sorry but no, atheism is the lack of belief in god.
Atheism and theism is about what you believe and not believe, agnosticism and gnosticism deals with what you know and not know, I am an agnostic atheist since I don't believe in god yet i don't claim to know he doesn't exist.
I can't prove there is no god, but you know what else I can't prove? fairies, now should we believe that too since we can't prove them?
THADI0US 1 year ago
@THADI0US No, fairies don't make any logical sense, and there is no reason for fairies in this world. A God is needed in order for us to exist because MATTER cannot be created by other matter! For MATTER to exist, it is only logical that something supernatural, something not OF matter, like a God, had to create this!
qwecars 1 year ago
@qwecars So you are saying that because you don't where matter comes from then a magical being created it, for starters who says the universe needs to be created, second where would your god come from he would also need a creator, some theist claim that he doesn't because they claim there can't be an infinite regression yet they provide nothing as to why not.
This my friend is a good example of the god of the gaps, if you don't know something then god did it.
THADI0US 1 year ago
@THADI0US Wow, is everything I'm saying just going in one ear and out the other for you ??? I already told you, it's not that we don't KNOW were matter came from..... we know that matter cannot be created by other matter, God is NOT OF MATTER therefor he doesn't need to be created. He was and is forever and time did not exist before he created it!
qwecars 1 year ago
@THADI0US & you ask who says that the Universe needs to be created... Science explains the beginning with the Big Bang theory which states that particles (meaning MATTER that's already been created) were condensed so that it created an enormous fission effect where all the particles were released with pressure from the fission & scattered around forming what we know as the Universe!
qwecars 1 year ago
@THADI0US This event doesn't disprove the existence of a God because a God had to have created the matter in the first place!
qwecars 1 year ago
@qwecars Did you even read my comment? You have to prove that a god exist, so far all you have proved is that you don't know therefore you assume it has to be magic, just like people have done through out history, "where does lightning come from?" "Oh yeah it comes from Thor's hammer" "What's the sun?" "Oh thats apollo on his flaming chariot".
Every time someone doesn't know something they make up a magical being to make them feel better and not so afraid of the unknown.
Irresponsibility.

@qwecars Well, for a guy who attempted to challenge a field of science while demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge in it, you're hardly in any position to laugh at others.
By the way, even IF science does not yet have an answer to something, it doesn't mean "godidit" automatically becomes the correct answer. Believing that you know is not the same as actually knowing.

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. Servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

The conservative party of Canada has won the last two elections (for some reason) when the liberal party had previously been in control for like 60 years. The conservatives are a minority, which makes it a "weird" government since all the other parties can team up and trump the vote of the ruling party! It's an awkward situation, but I'm hoping the liberals get elected again as soon as possible.
