Psychology of Belief 1 - Informational Influence [MIRROR]

@zenithsage

"Your attitude is atrocious"

How so? I get it that you don't believe in God, Jesus Christ. Sticking up for Jesus makes you angry, so you personally attack me. You don't know me. You seem to have "attitude". Let me repeat, I see God in his Holy Word. I see the affect Jesus Christ has on people and it's good. Care to comment with out the personal attack? May be your attitude is atrocious and you're "projecting". Merry Christmas, our Saviour is Born!

Physical or visual illusion has NOTHING to do with God.... Fail.

You can't see into my heart or soul. I know God, I see God in his holy Word.

I see god in my life and others. WHAT MAKES PEOPLE ATTACK GOD? Weird.

You don't believe? Fine than why be an active militant bigot?

.

PS Your buddy Edwardtart the former gay preist blocked me. That proves his BS is false...... I corrected him and he can't take it. (ha ha that sounds gay)

@gmcjetpilot

There is no physical or visual illusion here.

You missed the point of the video - that pressure from many others can distort our perception.

So even if many are demonstrably wrong -as in the clear examples in this video- over half will say they say the wrong answer is right - and many will actually believe so.

As plainly stated at 4:34: "In the lack of any other information, the natural tendency is to simply follow the faith of everyone around you."

How could you miss this?

@amoxtlacatl

"simply follow the faith of everyone around you."

Have proof? How patronizing. I can say you lack faith because you're a sodomite fruit cake nut. I say it so! So there! IS IT POSSIBLE people have a spiritual connection that transcends the seen. May be your are lazy, deaf, dumb and blind, a tiny thinker who can't get past your anal retentiveness. May be the universe does not revolve around your anus? May be you are wrong? Ever think the Dawkins Scientism has brainwashed you?

[amoxtlacatl]

@gmcjetpilot

Interesting. You insist on insulting. And I insist on reminding you that your behavior here would be unacceptable in the real world.

Would you use such abusive language toward me ("sodomite", "revolve around your anus") before your "gay friends"? Inside your place of worship? Before your religious leaders? Before your daughters?

I celebrate your finding happiness... but I deplore that the thing that makes you happy demands your mistreating other human beings.

[amoxtlacatl]

@gmcjetpilot

I do not know that it is possible for people to have a spiritual connection that transcends the seen.

I do know that it is possible for people to think they have a spiritual connection that transcends the seen.

Maybe I am wrong? Indeed. And maybe you are wrong.

In the absence of a solid body of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that gods exist, let alone communicate with men, I must oppose any who justify mistreating others because their god tells them so.

@amoxt

I didn't have anu religion until 25; bachelors in engineering, working for Boeing, going to Grad school, I wanted to study religion & history, so I read the Bible. It's profound. I felt the holy spirit. Jesus Christ is my Lord & Savior, a REAL person who changed the world, by his teachings in his best selling book, the greatest wisdom & morals mankind has. Take a Bible basics class. Only 4% atheists total, most thought Nazi's whining about others spirituality. How can u miss this?

[UppruniTegundanna]

@gmcjetpilot A quick note on your "thought Nazi" comment - out of you and me, only one of us believes that having an incorrect thought will result in being subjected to eternal torture, and it isn't me. You might want to rethink your use of the inflammatory phrase "thought Nazi", in light of you beliefs about the post-mortem destiny of non-Christians.

[amoxtlacatl]

@gmcjetpilot

And I agree with zenithsage - Mr. Tarte probably blocked you because of your behavior.

His blocking you doesn't prove he is wrong. It proves you are rude.

Your behavior here would get you shunned and thrown from many places in real life.

Rest assured - I WILL NOT BAN YOU. I value your freedom of speech higher than your poor manners.

Just riddle me this: how do you figure insulting people will make them change their mind about your god?

[gmcjetpilot]

@amoxtlacatl

"blocked you because of your behavior."

You like to guess and make stuff up in your mind. That is not very rational or logical.

Riddle me this joker, what makes you think I'm here to proselytize to you or any one? Believe as you like. I'm just pointing out how idiotic, illogical you argument is. YT atheists are antithesis of intellectual, that includes "Flying Spaghetti monster" Dawkins. That is just mocking, not deep thoughts.

[gmcjetpilot]

@amox

You bigots are self assured attacking peoples faith, being epic hypocrites & bigots. You get called on it, you whine, OH YOU'RE NOT CHRISTIAN ENOUGH. lol! They threw Christians to lions. Atheists say Christians cause all problems, so to achieve Atheist man-made utopia, you must kill those awful Christians, w/ their charity, forgiveness & salvation. We'll defend our body & soul, freedom of religion & speech. We forgive but screw w/ our freedom you'll reap the whirlwind. That's a warning.

[amoxtlacatl]

@gmcjetpilot

"KILL"???!!!

YOUR WORD. FROM YOUR MIND. NOT MY WORD. NOT FROM MY MIND.

Never have I used or hinted nor should a comment of mine to you or any other ever be construed as a threat against anyone's life.

The ideo of physical violence exists in your mind, not in mine.

It astonishes me that my words excite such violent responses in you.

I ABHOR VIOLENCE, AND IF IN MY POWER, I WILL DEFEND YOUR LIFE - possibly with mine.

I FIGHT IDEAS, NOT MEN.

Rest assured, I mean you no harm.

[gmcjetpilot]

@amoxt

Lots of capitals, you seem emotional. No disrespect are there medications involved or needed? The biggest mass murderers in history, Stalin, 80 million killed and Mao, 50 million killed, BOTH ATHEISTS! Yes ideas kill, like Atheists calling Christians delusional.

"I FIGHT IDEAS, NOT MEN"

You don't fight any one. No offense you strike me as cowardly, wouldn't stand for anything, stand for freedom. The world is corrupt, full of sin and violence, and it's real. Don't be a naive child.

[amoxtlacatl]

@gmcjetpilot

I can see how my use of capitals could be construed as shouting. Not my intention. I meant emphasis to assuage your misgivings about me. My apologies.

Yes, ideas can kill. Like the state religions you quote. I am an Atheist - not a Communist.

Violence has existed on both sides. I do not support it.

I fight for freedom - people's freedom to do as they please without hurting others. This includes gay marriage and gay adoption.

Believers oppose this, so I oppose their god.

[JohnnyPeacemaker]

The Bible was canonized in 324 AD, though it is a nice collection of wisdom, as well as commentary about Jesus in the Gospels, the Gospels contradict each other in certain ways, particularly the resurrection story.

There are other books which did not make it into the Bible, which shed light and wisdom, yet they are purposefully left out by Emperor Constantine in 324 AD. Constantine then committed massive genocide in the name of Jesus following the declaration of the Apostle's Creed...evil!!!

[gmcjetpilot]

@JohnnyP

"There are other books which did not make it into the Bible, which shed light and wisdom, yet they are purposefully left out by Emperor Constantine in 324 AD."

That's false! BOOKS that are apocryphal, don't fit were left out. Look'em up, they're not secret. Clearly they don't fit by textual criticism. God promised we have his holy word. The Creator of the Universe clearly can publish his own book by divine inspiration. God is almighty; you can't corrupt his word, but devils try.

Oh wow! Thanks for the tribute. :)

@AntiCitizenX

Happy and honored to do it. :D
