science must investigate thesis that are falsifiable; subonciousnes is ex definitione sub-concious, 'sub'-empirical (we experience only that what we can present in our concoiusnes) and therefore it is non-empirical - beyond our actual and POTENTIAL experience (like idea of god); it is (i.e. sub-conciousnes) not fact in my sense of that word: fact=all that can be actualy or potentialy (in future) experienced in our "standard" state of conciousness.
Maybe my thesis are "drivel" - I could be wrong; but can you give me some arguments that support and justify your judgement? Or you stay on ad hominem level?
@incognito509b you didnt answer my question, so yes the devolution into ad hominims is generally entered into when someone doesnt answer a very small yes or no question with a fully laden drivel fest of irrelevence.

@6:28 Wow, thats my exact views towards "feelings" when people tell me they have a connection with God or some "feel good". Because when I was in Church, yes, you have that good feeling. But i found myself finding the same feeling at concerts, secular music, after working out, being in love, etc. And then i relate it to my beliefs, and the beliefs of others, and I realized people are just attributing this "feel good" thing to God, when it's not. But everyone, in every church/religion says it is
God has manifested his glory and shown me wonderful things. God can do the same to you if you like. I have seen how God transform the life of others in a way impossible to reproduce by treatments, drugs or psychoanalysis. God had given me signs of things unknown to me that I have personally confirmed to be true after. God is conscious energy. There isn't a single argument to disprove his existence and many to support it. Your life will be better and you will be happier, then why not to believe?
If you were raised by my father, he would have kicked you out of the house before the age of 13. Actually, no, I'm gonna rephrase that - you would have become either a die hard Catholic or on the verge of becoming agnostic like I was. That's why I started researching, and went back to being a believer again. Atheists are far more confused than people who believe, that's a fact. Because they weren't raised in a religious family, like I was.
@Sweetlolly11 I was raised in a religious home and was taught to believe in god and the bible and did when I was younger, though I'll admit there were parts that I didn't quiet understand. As I grew up I feel in love with science and started questioning the world around me, and after a while I had to be honest with myself and examine my beliefs. Upon research on the topic my beliefs failed and slowly I became an atheist (though I didn't admit at the time since I was still in a religious home)
@Sweetlolly11 I've been to church(had to go every Sunday until I left home)and have heard many argument that all fail when I analyze them. I was more confused as a believer than I ever was or am as an atheist, so you are incorrect in your statement "Atheists are far more confused than people who believe, that's a fact. Because they weren't raised in a religious family".Even as a kid there were things that confused me because of faith in god, but listened to parents and believed it was god's plan
@Sweetlolly11 As an atheist, I don't find myself confused at all, I myself much more free to explore this world for what is is since there is no longer any belief to be protected, but I welcome challenging options because it allows to me to examine my positions to see if they are justified or not. I can look at problems much more clearly and I really don't miss the bigotry I was taught (homophobia, xenophobia, etc.) and can accept people for who they are. I'm much happier and less confused
@vnorthru I'm religious, and yet very open minded, I'm not in any way homophobic nor xenophobic. Don't be a hypocrite, as you do sound like a sane, logical human being (unlike many atheists I've seen here), so don't think all religious people are homophobic, ignorant etc.
I think the point is that is you subscribe to christianity, and stand up to be counted with a large group of people most of whom ARE homophobic, racist, ignorant hypocrites, and you do nothing about those tendencies that do pervade your peer group, then you are just part of the problem, whether you are a moderate or not is irrelevant. It would be like if you were in the KKK, but were a moderate and didn't hate Jews and Blacks, you only hate blacks. How is that better??
@aegisgfx No, it's not like that. Because being in KKK means having hate towards someone, which isn't the case with a religion. It's more like being Christian but secretly hating basically everyone who isn't caucasian, Christian etc.
christianity is hate masquerading as love, you need look no further than the current persecution of the gays by religious people for evidence of that.
@Sweetlolly11 Sorry I didn't intend to accuse all christians of being bigots, and I should have clarified that, but I was referring to the things I was taught growing up in a church. Though some christians are not bigots, unfortunately all too many are and churches, including the catholic church promote bigotry and especially homophobia and that is something I can't stand. My little sister is bisexual and I have seen the pain my mother's religious, that thinks she is an abomination, causes her
@Sweetlolly11 And it's because I do see the damage that religion can do is why I am bit antitheist. Seeing my sister cry and the utter fear she feels that our mother may figure out she's bisexual breaks my heart and infuriates me at the same time (I am extremely protective of my sister). Yet if you ask our mother the church isn't homophobic, and uses the hate the sin not the sinner bs. So my question is, what do you do to counteract the harm your church does?
@vnorthru I don't attack bisexuals and homosexuals with rocks, for example. I just don't see it the way many "Christians" see it, I don't believe people of different sexual orientations should be abandoned. Love is love and it comes in all different shapes and sizes, and yes, I believe our Lord loves every single one of us and does not judge us in any way other than sins. You can be a sinner while being the good little church girl, and you can be a sinner while being gay, a pedophile, etc.
@Sweetlolly11 Sure you may not be on board with many christians in thinking homosexuality is wrong, but do you support those that do? Do you pay money to a church that actively promotes homophobia (and the cathloic church does)? And why do you assume everyone is sinners? The church says gays are sinners, but then again the cathloic church is ok with pedophiles, they will even move them around to give them more victims. If your god loves us, then why does make everyone pay for original sin?
@Sweetlolly11 Would you hold me accountable for the crimes of my parent? grandparents? great grandparents? etc. Then why does god? Is he just that petty? Your idea that not attacking bi/homosexuals with rocks, as if that is ok, is bullshit. Do you still tell them that it is a sin according to god? That can cause just as much damage as rocks can, and I've seen it's damage. It's that rhetoric that has caused my sister fear and has deeply wounded her, so it's not ok, it's still bigotry
@Sweetlolly11 Though you claim not to be bigoted about these issues, but you also seem to use the same bs I have heard of hate the sin not the sinner. I hope I am just misunderstanding what you are saying, and if so I apologize. But if that is your stance, it is just as bad as all other homo-phobics. It still causes pain, and if there is a god and he holds that view, then f$#k him and I would never praise a sadistic SOB like that.
@Sweetlolly11 I was raised in a Christian home and I'm still an atheist. I was very confused when I was Christian because I couldn't find answers through my religion. Science and rationality set me free.
@Sweetlolly11 A fact? So there must be studies on this that you can show us?
The only reason why atheists could possibly be more confused than theists is because they don't just accept some fuzzy feeling premise of a god that answers the questions that else wouldn't be answered, even though it's a nonanswer. Origin of the universe, or life? God! Bam there's you answer, no reason to be confused. I guess that's the way it works. And matt and tracy were raised as believers, as most atheists are.
Very happy this video was posted because its similar to my own experience. It was after Fifteen years of being unable to reconcile how cold hearted and false that most "born again" were even though they claim to have the spirit of Jesus living in them that I started looking seriously at where the bible actually came from and the Greek/Latin language etc. I must admit being shocked at how "fabricated" and mistranslated the bible has been. I lost everything my friends my job my home.
@teddybeartoe how about slavery, how to beat your slave, genocide, rape, incest, killing your children if they dont behave. Killing anyone who tries to lead you to a different god, death to homosexuals and death to children that make fun of balled people? do you follow those as well?
@teddybeartoe If you taking about the Commandments, they're actually from the Old Testament not the New where Jesus came in, and through chinese whispers made Jesus hyped up into this miracle Superman
I mentally picture this (caller) guy in a straight jacket in a padded room on speakerphone, it accounts for the echo. Somebody get this guy off the phone and back on his meds.
We feel before we think,how can feelings be a product of the brain. Studies are now showing the heart registering energy stimulus before the brain. There is more to us than chemical reactions. These guys (Matt Tracy) are stuck in the same argument. It is clear they are trapped in their clever little heads. Just like the religious callers are trapped in theology. At least science has hope for change when evidence is provided. Not so for the believer. Nothing can convince a true believer.
@freehenrietta Well that's simply not true. There are many examples that science has shifted its agenda on. The world being flat is one. The sun and planets revolve around the earth is another. It wasn't until Charles Darwin came along that evolution wasn't taken seriously. Science has the ability to admit its wrong. A true believer will never admit they are wrong. Faith trumps truth every time.That's why we have so many different belief systems. Each clinging violently to its version of truth.
You will see a really thorough run-through of passages that explain the earth's shape, the idea we now know as "gravity", and the expansion of the universe, etc. When reading it, try to put your biases aside and think about it as if you are looking for answers, not already know them. I think you'll be surprised...
@freehenrietta No surprises here, read this all before. It was the church along with educated people of the time, with Bible in hand that made the teaching of a flat world a punishable law. The passages you refer are cherry picked AFTER the facts have been made available. They are vague and poetic and could be arrived to by looking up at the sky seeing the moon,Boundaries, circles, day and night, a universe spreading out etc. Many truths in your book, but a 6000 year old earth?
@shimwah 6000? Nah, not likely.More like 10,000. And, what you're saying isn't even true.Those verses arn't cherry picked. To be cherry picked, there would have tobe verses that contradict themso I could use only the ones I "picked" to support my opinion. There is not a single verse in the Bible that contradicts another verse.The Bible tells things about the universe that science didn't discover until thousands of years later. You read it, you still deny it. I guess there's nothing more to say.
@freehenrietta 10,000 years old is just pure ignorance. And by cherry picked I mean you only chose the bits that Vaguely fit with what we now know to be true. (& it is vague at best) So what? the Aztecs Maya Indians the Egyptians & many other people gave us information way before its time, your point? Contradictions in the Bible. You will find there are plenty. The Bible from my studies falls miserably short of a spherical truth.
@shimwah It doesn't vaguely fit, it perfectly fits and it preceeded science. Here's how it happened: First, there was the Bible which says the earth is round and "hangs on nothing" and that the universe is expanding; man paid no attention to the Bible and said things that contradicted those things; along came science and proved the Bible right....
Why is that so difficult for you to understand?
What Aztec or other info has science proved to be true?
@freehenrietta Um are you serious, Oh that's right, you are. Don't get me wrong I believe one day science will find the evidence for The Spirit, Soul, God, Angels, Possession, Re incarnation etc. I also believe humanity will see the present day religions to be flawed & separative. The Bible will be seen for what it truly is and that religion has failed humanity.
@freehenrietta 'Along came science and proved the Bible right'? Yes science says the earth is 6,000- 10,000 years old.
'Here's how it happened?' Dumb Freddy can look up at the sky and see round objects that hang on nothing. The bible does not say the universe is expanding. It says God stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
You are stuck in your head with theology and science is stuck in their head with the intellect. No heart!
@freehenrietta Its interesting how you agree with science when it appears to support the Bible but ignore science when it tells you the world is older than 4 billion years.
@freehenrietta Gee sweetheart perhaps you should ask a real scientist. Or pick up a primary school book. Mountains of evidence in a variety of fields that ALL come to the same conclusion. 4 billion Years Old.
I have had this same discussion with another Christian who was in agreement the earth was older than 6,000 due to the genealogies of the Bible. You guys don't even agree on the content in the Bible. You all can't even come to the same conclusion on a range of subjects.
@shimwah Dude, the Bible says things that people argued for thousands of years then science proved them true and you and everyone else who is brainwashed to believe things in the evolutionary theory still deny the Bible's vlidity and truth. That's just ignorant and stupid to do that. Can you not answer my question?
@freehenrietta I already answered your question. Your ears and eyes are closed. Your argument and questions are old, tired, boring, and primitive. Science did not prove the Bible correct. You just pick the bits out that fit then choose to ignore the rest of science that doesn't.
@shimwah Sounds like you're talking about yourself..that's exactly what YOU are doing. Give me an example of something that's been observed and/or proven in science that doesn't support what the Bible says. And, no, you didn't answer my question about what proves the world is older than 4 BYO...
@freehenrietta Whats the point. You are a believer. Nothing I or anyone can ever say will ever change that.
If you really have to ask me something that's been observed and/or proven in science that doesn't support what the Bible says. Or what proves the world is older than 4 BYO, You are in way to deep for me. Go play Bible games with someone else.
So... why would i believe in your religious ideology if you can't explain AB resistance or plant speciation without using evolution theory?
Snakes can't talk, biblical floods are physically impossible to have happened, god doesn't exist, miracles are physically impossible, and the world is older than 4BYO because you can measure the decay in matter.
you didn't actually disprove my claim, the evidence that proves you wrong.
so indeed: bye bye, ignorant fuck! tough luck! you come to the internet and a person knows how to prove the bible as utter crap! a fictional book! lolol
now fuck off and stop bothering people with your buy bull induced shit.
@thatamazinggeek Why do you care so much about how other people live their lives that you allow it to affect your emotions: "It pisses me off..... It breaks my heart...?" You sound a lot like the religious people you can't stand.
@rockyraccoon Rocky had come equiped with his gun, to shoot off the legs of his rival.... Don´t be a hater dude. Matt is doing his best, and you shouldn´t get so bummed about it. And you definitly shouldn´t try to get others to unsubscribe.... This is a cause, either your in or your out. If your out...... don´t poo poo on the cause. Please.
Or you could just become one of them...... but then you suck! But you don´t suck, do you?
since we are all respecting each others' opinions i thought id share mine freely; watching these videos makes me slightly uncomfortable and rather sick to my stomach.but im still going to watch them, because i think it is very necessary to educate yourself about all beliefs so you can appreciate them all and understand them so as not to judge or create bias.
@protorobsmos So hard to imagine the other Matt. The one with the dress standing before the altar, praising the holy ghost. Scary, isn´t it? it could have been him. This beautiful mind could easily have been wasted. And when I see a priest, or just anyone of religion, I know a perhaps great intellect has been wasted on this bogus. And it saddens me.
Hi guys, I don't normally post on Youtube vids. I am the creator you often refer to as God. I'll gladly answer any questions you have, but I'm pretty busy so.. PM me.
@Sweetlolly11 Hahaha...At least with alcohol you'll eventually sober up and think clearly again. Belief in God is much worse, but similar to being drunk. The three things that being drunk on belief in God and being drunk on alcohol have in common: 1) Both will severely impair your judgement of reality. 2) Both tend to make otherwise well behaved people act with irrational violence over trivial non-issues. 3) Both will make people babble on with nonsense that makes little to no coherent sense.
@AntiTheistAtheist Yes, religion is opium of masses. But trust me, I'm not one of those who would furiously grab the phone and call these guys on the show yelling out: CHRIST IS OUR LORD, REPENT, OR YOU SHALL ROT IN HELL and then just hang up or babble nonsense like the guy in this video XD he was pretty funny, though. I am actually able to reasonably discuss this issue. I am like most atheists myself, what you would call logical, but instead, I'm a believer.
There is an old expression: If you let a fool pray to God, he will crack his skull.
I know what the caller is talking about ( I think ), the problem is that he puts that experience in a box created by doctrines of men who insist on literal interpretation of poetic myths that attempted to express that and similar experiences.
Atheism (for lack of a better term) objects against boxes that men construct around God (for lack of a better term).
why do people even call into this show? if you argue with a fool they're doing the same thing. all these guys want is attention, stop giving it to them.
@Deuteronomy820 What normal human being doesn't want attention, especially if they feel they have something to say to the world? Really, you might as well make fun of them for wanting to have sex.
I would actually prefer Hell to heaven. I have problems with nosebleeds at high altitudes. If heaven existed, it would be in deep space, where the temperature would be very cold. I would very much enjoy the warmth in the lower levels of the Earth. Plus, all of my idols like Voltaire, Albert Einstein, Descartes, and Galileo will be there. PARTY for ETERNITY!
This is why AA should not be conflated with "higher powers". The susceptibility of the recovering alcoholic can be exploited to accept such "experiences".
Yet, we know that there are just some "bad things" in our life that seem couldn't be our fault or the fault of others, like an earthquake for example.
..and the explanation to this is that God allows the "shaking" of our lives (how fitting for an earthquake!) so that what remains in us - are the very things that can't be shaken - and thats our very faith in God which is more precious than any material things in life. Faith is "resting" because you are trusting. And by resting, you find peace.
@arjunesh2 Sigh you are so brainwashed. "faith in God can't be shaken even when shit happens" translate to no matter what God does, even if he kills your entire family or indeed the entire planet full of people (plus 98% of all life) the most important thing is to NOT use your brain but instead STILL believe that God is true and good. Bravo.
@DeathKnight725 if God killed our entire family, how in hell does that make us NOT believe in Him? go back to watching disney movies, this is real life. peter pans idea of killing fairies by belief doesn't apply to God.... SORRY.
@Deuteronomy820 I said true and good, not simply believe in him. Learn to read. As for your Disney comment, um lol? Unlike you I don't believe in fairy tales.
A great majority of human suffering is result of one's own mistakes (sin) or mistakes of others. Most illnesses for example is a result of oftentimes lack of regard to the health of our bodies, like we smoke and later question why we have some lung problems, or eat too much meat and realized you acquired cancer. Even when we are victims of crimes, it's a result of sin by others, surely not a mistake of God! And some "natural catastrophies" like mudslides are results of us denuding our forests
How to do you experience a scenery? By being in it, like in moving train looking out the great mountains or sitting under the cool of tree by the meadows. The beauty of nature is God's great billboard of his greatness. It announces to the world continually day and night that God exist, so that none have any excuse not believing in his existence.
God pursues people in this truth (of his existence). The fact that you are in this forum is that you are being "chased" by him. Be caught my friend!
I was once a really strong Christian, like FULLBLOWN BELIEVER, But then I started thinking for myself and didn't let the burden of religion and fairytales hang over me :p now I'm a REAL good person.
@jokercal2003, Another thing, you are an atheist when it comes to all other gods, you simply don't believe their stories for one reason or another. Think about why you really don't believe in Zeus or Allah. Is it because it sounds unsavory? Raises bad emotions? Do you feel a sense of betrayal from the upbringing you've recieved? Or is it something else? Most theists simply don't believe in the other theists beliefs because they were raised on different sides of the fence. Kinda like gangs.
@jokercal2003, there are plenty of reasons to no believe it, it's not a choice if you cannot accept something that has no evidence. If my brain will only allow me to believe what is concievable and what has a scientific basis, that is because my standards of evidence are higher than the average theists. There are exceptions, I'm reading a book from Francis Collins about faith and science. I'm keeping an open mind. Another thing that is hard for the majority of theists.
I always wondered why they did not even TRY to make bible sound somewhat more likely to be true.I mean,you could just replace that talking snake (from Adam'n Eve part) by a human, and find some other way to implement Eve into the story (I mean anything sounds more real than being a mutated rib from adam)
Also they could just have made Jesus ultra clever instead of giving him all these superhuman mutant powers to move water and such. I mean, THE TERMINATOR is more realistic than the bible
I never read the bible. When I found out it involved the (so called real) story of a talking snake, a man moving water, a man 100 years on a boat with literally *all* animals possible, I pretty much figured it could not be true.
I mean,do you have WATCH " the little mermaid' movie to figure its not true? I mean..come on! it's all just rediculous nonsense.
Its just the typical AA thing. "You have to give into something." As in they strip away all hope for self help and tell you the only thing that can help you is god.
intuitions about possibility are not reliable......I forgot who's quote this is

@aegisgfx No, it's not like that. Because being in KKK means having hate towards someone, which isn't the case with a religion. It's more like being Christian but secretly hating basically everyone who isn't caucasian, Christian etc.

Sweetlolly11 5 months ago
@Sweetlolly11 Sorry I didn't intend to accuse all christians of being bigots, and I should have clarified that, but I was referring to the things I was taught growing up in a church. Though some christians are not bigots, unfortunately all too many are and churches, including the catholic church promote bigotry and especially homophobia and that is something I can't stand. My little sister is bisexual and I have seen the pain my mother's religious, that thinks she is an abomination, causes her
vnorthru 5 months ago
@Sweetlolly11 And it's because I do see the damage that religion can do is why I am bit antitheist. Seeing my sister cry and the utter fear she feels that our mother may figure out she's bisexual breaks my heart and infuriates me at the same time (I am extremely protective of my sister). Yet if you ask our mother the church isn't homophobic, and uses the hate the sin not the sinner bs. So my question is, what do you do to counteract the harm your church does?
vnorthru 5 months ago
@vnorthru I don't attack bisexuals and homosexuals with rocks, for example. I just don't see it the way many "Christians" see it, I don't believe people of different sexual orientations should be abandoned. Love is love and it comes in all different shapes and sizes, and yes, I believe our Lord loves every single one of us and does not judge us in any way other than sins. You can be a sinner while being the good little church girl, and you can be a sinner while being gay, a pedophile, etc.
Sweetlolly11 5 months ago
@Sweetlolly11 Sure you may not be on board with many christians in thinking homosexuality is wrong, but do you support those that do? Do you pay money to a church that actively promotes homophobia (and the cathloic church does)? And why do you assume everyone is sinners? The church says gays are sinners, but then again the cathloic church is ok with pedophiles, they will even move them around to give them more victims. If your god loves us, then why does make everyone pay for original sin?
vnorthru 5 months ago
@Sweetlolly11 Would you hold me accountable for the crimes of my parent? grandparents? great grandparents? etc. Then why does god? Is he just that petty? Your idea that not attacking bi/homosexuals with rocks, as if that is ok, is bullshit. Do you still tell them that it is a sin according to god? That can cause just as much damage as rocks can, and I've seen it's damage. It's that rhetoric that has caused my sister fear and has deeply wounded her, so it's not ok, it's still bigotry
vnorthru 5 months ago
@Sweetlolly11 Though you claim not to be bigoted about these issues, but you also seem to use the same bs I have heard of hate the sin not the sinner. I hope I am just misunderstanding what you are saying, and if so I apologize. But if that is your stance, it is just as bad as all other homo-phobics. It still causes pain, and if there is a god and he holds that view, then f$#k him and I would never praise a sadistic SOB like that.

@Sweetlolly11 A fact? So there must be studies on this that you can show us?
The only reason why atheists could possibly be more confused than theists is because they don't just accept some fuzzy feeling premise of a god that answers the questions that else wouldn't be answered, even though it's a nonanswer. Origin of the universe, or life? God! Bam there's you answer, no reason to be confused. I guess that's the way it works. And matt and tracy were raised as believers, as most atheists are.

@freehenrietta Well that's simply not true. There are many examples that science has shifted its agenda on. The world being flat is one. The sun and planets revolve around the earth is another. It wasn't until Charles Darwin came along that evolution wasn't taken seriously. Science has the ability to admit its wrong. A true believer will never admit they are wrong. Faith trumps truth every time.That's why we have so many different belief systems. Each clinging violently to its version of truth.
shimwah 9 months ago
@shimwah Actually, the Bible was written long before science proved the earth isn't flat. Look at the website
answersingenesis. org/articles/nab2/ bible-say-anything-astronomy.
You will see a really thorough run-through of passages that explain the earth's shape, the idea we now know as "gravity", and the expansion of the universe, etc. When reading it, try to put your biases aside and think about it as if you are looking for answers, not already know them. I think you'll be surprised...
freehenrietta 9 months ago
@freehenrietta No surprises here, read this all before. It was the church along with educated people of the time, with Bible in hand that made the teaching of a flat world a punishable law. The passages you refer are cherry picked AFTER the facts have been made available. They are vague and poetic and could be arrived to by looking up at the sky seeing the moon,Boundaries, circles, day and night, a universe spreading out etc. Many truths in your book, but a 6000 year old earth?
shimwah 9 months ago
@shimwah 6000? Nah, not likely.More like 10,000. And, what you're saying isn't even true.Those verses arn't cherry picked. To be cherry picked, there would have tobe verses that contradict themso I could use only the ones I "picked" to support my opinion. There is not a single verse in the Bible that contradicts another verse.The Bible tells things about the universe that science didn't discover until thousands of years later. You read it, you still deny it. I guess there's nothing more to say.

@freehenrietta 10,000 years old is just pure ignorance. And by cherry picked I mean you only chose the bits that Vaguely fit with what we now know to be true.

You will find there are plenty. The Bible from my studies falls miserably short of a spherical truth.
shimwah 9 months ago
@shimwah It doesn't vaguely fit, it perfectly fits and it preceeded science. Here's how it happened: First, there was the Bible which says the earth is round and "hangs on nothing" and that the universe is expanding; man paid no attention to the Bible and said things that contradicted those things; along came science and proved the Bible right....
Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

Yet, we know that there are just some "bad things" in our life that seem couldn't be our fault or the fault of others, like an earthquake for example.
..and the explanation to this is that God allows the "shaking" of our lives (how fitting for an earthquake!) so that what remains in us - are the very things that can't be shaken - and thats our very faith in God which is more precious than any material things in life. Faith is "resting" because you are trusting. And by resting, you find peace.

A great majority of human suffering is result of one's own mistakes (sin) or mistakes of others. Most illnesses for example is a result of oftentimes lack of regard to the health of our bodies, like we smoke and later question why we have some lung problems, or eat too much meat and realized you acquired cancer. Even when we are victims of crimes, it's a result of sin by others, surely not a mistake of God! And some "natural catastrophies" like mudslides are results of us denuding our forests

Think about why you really don't believe in Zeus or Allah. Is it because it sounds unsavory? Raises bad emotions? Do you feel a sense of betrayal from the upbringing you've recieved? Or is it something else? Most theists simply don't believe in the other theists beliefs because they were raised on different sides of the fence. Kinda like gangs.

I mean,do you have WATCH " the little mermaid' movie to figure its not true? I mean..come on! it's all just rediculous nonsense.

Its just the typical AA thing. "You have to give into something." As in they strip away all hope for self help and tell you the only thing that can help you is god.

And, judging by what your saying, they haven't worn off yet nor will they ever so long as you stay religious...
