Colbert is religious. He was raised Catholic and during his interviews that AREN'T in character, he's very open about it. Having said that, he's far from a fundamentalist.
Anybody who can make fun of religion is really not a devout believer. LOL. He probably just puts on a front of being religious so nobody will shoot him.
@simpsoncheat Read it again nuckfut, it says " blah blah blah temptation is bad," especially when it's a sexy fag tempting a good heterosexual like me to want a cock in my mouth. It's an abomination, just look at what those deviant homos did to Reverend Ted Haggard. If we don't stop it, the homosexual agenda is gonna turn us all into pillow biters.
@simpsoncheat Jesus gives a fuck about this lowlife. It says so in the version of the bible i think is the right one. I care because those sexy sexy homos make me have gay fantasies, and if it goes unchecked one day i might get arrested in an airport bathroom.
Now before you reply reread every comment i've made here about 10 times, i think you might realize how stupid you really are.
So you are pretty much making an argument about evolution and natural things of mankind although you are praising an imaginary fairy who makes it normal to execute innocent people? I think you are the one who has gone wrong.
@simpsoncheat Alright try this, think long and hard about the guy talking on this video, think about his view of the gays, then reread my comments, and if that doesn't work grow a sense of humor. I mean seriously, how many religous homophobes refer to them as sexy?
That is nonsense, I live in the Netherlands and we have had a government, who had separate religion and politics many ages ago. And geuss what, we are doing well.
thumbs up if you agree with me that he does not know what he is talking about
@RunnerBRR Didn't you hear what he said about the Dutch/ Belgians. You have no god! And as a result no standards! You spend all day doing terrible depraved things to each other. What is the most well known Netherlands expresion 'Neuken in de keuken' Point proven. Stay away from our Godly countries you wicked Dutch fornicator!
Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!! Ron Paul 2012!!

there needs to be a highest rated comment stating this, so thumbs up so idiots read
Sir Dr. Stephen Tyrone Colbert, D.F.A. is not religious. what you see on the Colbert Report is a parody, making fun of - while pointing out - the blunt and backward religious influence in media, government and corporations. he is a comedian, not a fundamentalist, not a homophobe and, most of all, not wrong
@user98xp you see, i thought so, but when i looked it up, the first site said Tyrone. i realise now that Tiberius is used when he's using his badass name, but i didnt think this subject needed more than 45 seconds of research
@BrendanStuart He absolutely is religious. Read the large article on him in Rolling Stone or just do a little research. He is a devout Catholic. He is intelligent enough to poke fun at the sillier aspects of religion, but that doesn't make him not part of the club.
@KeeneAct instead of me reading the long article on him, why dont you read the long list of comments below mine informing me of my mistake before adding to it
@KeeneAct Colbert is an apostate heretic. Hollywood Christianity is not acceptable.
Completely capable parents according to God's Word must be heterosexual. One man and one woman. Sodomites and lesbians are a type brought about by sin. Like liars, murderers alcoholics, pedophiles and so on.
The fruit of Homosexuality is extinction! All men are created equal but all sex acts are not. Homosexuals have no business marrying. It is an abomination. God gave them over to a reprobate mind.
@TPOTTHEPOETOFTRUTH Our species is as full of homosexual behaviour as the rest of the animal kingdom, get with the program. Trust me, there's no "God" behind that. And having a "holy" book doesn't mean you can dictate how other human beings should live their lives, keep that fraudulent bullshit to yourself and the other sheep.
@lourak No he is joking, he mentions creationism, atheist immorality, homophobia, Christian American Founding, OT's immoral things as gifts, and other things he knows are irrational, so, while it's true Colbert is Catholic, he's not a blundering idiotic douche bag like Bill O'Reilly, a man whom believes in all those things.
@BrendanStuart But he is actually Catholic and teaches Sunday school. Like most Christians, he has probably not really read the bible, particularly Catholics and liberals. It's amazing people think God inspired a book and yet most rarely read it. It is obviously morals made by men. For Ex,"God's" law states that if a virgin is raped she is forced to marry her rapist, no punishment for the rapist either! (Deut 22:28)
Obviously man made this law not god. There are many more too
@mrpayne123 No, no, no. The rapist has to pay the rape victim's dad some money so he can buy the man's daughter. Ah, see, he got his just desserts, tale that rapist. (While it is true, this was written in a sarcastic tone, so rather than read, No, no, no, read more a No, no, no. You know? *closed bracket* (The buttons not working *Cl--- you know.*
It's sad to see such a great comedian invite Sam Harris on his show and say such stupid non sense. I realize he didn't even read Harris' books. Pathetic and irrational... it's so Christian.
@MisterFro9 you do understand that this guy is a comedian right? hes character is basicly Bill O'Reilly + Glenn Beck. which is why i repeat your facts are irrelevant cause he speaks with truthiness, get it? come on man this guys a legend
(6:14) How come the constitution never mentions evolution? Because it was created by religious people, that's why black people were enslaved even though the constitution was supposed to -- "Abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime" -- because you know what? Every single person who affected the creation of the constitution was white and religious. That's why the constitution does not mention neither evolution nor the inherent flaws to billionaire ownership.
@leadleader2023 You really don't seem to understand natural selection at all.
Tell me, how would knowing about natural selection change anyone's behavior in regards to dangerous situations? All species do their best to survive against dangers. A human knowing about natural selection doesn't help them dodge a boulder.
Additionally, creatures adapt to suit an environmental niche best. White creatures fare better in snowy areas than black ones.
@Stairc By the way, a human knowing about natural selection, is the only reason why we have overpopulated the planet the way we have, we have imposed our species on this planet, precisely because at an instinctive level we always understood what natural selection is.
The constitution was adopted in 1787. Charles Darwin was born in 1809 and published The Origin of Species in 1859. The fact of evolution was simply unknown at the time of establishing the constitution, scientific knowledge wasn't there yet. And I don't see why it would have been mentioned in the constitution even if it would have been known.
Also most of the founding fathers were NOT religious, but deists.
@Mornys Brother please, why do you expect me to feel patronized or "educated" by your SHALLOW logic? So without "scientific knowledge" human beings cannot understand simple concepts such as natural selection? Lie to yourself if you want, but I am well aware if the fact that a lot of human beings were in touch with the concept of "natural selection" way before Charles Darwin.
@Mornys (cont) As for the founding fathers NOT being religious: well, the constitution that they created, created the perfect conditions for religion to flourish on a completely new scale. I ask you a fairly simple question: how was it that such socially adept men, were intelligent enough to sell the idea of separating the church from the government, without actually doing something to actually separate the church from the government? Deists you say? I take their actions over your word.
Honestly, Stephen Colbert is full of shit if he honestly believes all the bullshit that he said up til 2:38, I couldn't even bother listening past that point. Religion is very simple, and I have nothing against people who actually chose to be religious, though having said that, imposing a religion upon people means that religious people do not have faith in their God: actions speak louder than words, imposing a religion, effectively is working against everything that Jesus Christ fought for.
@leadleader2023 You realize Colbert is a satirical commentator. He's playing the caricature of a creepy right-wing guy. He's actually a democrat/liberal in real life.
@Stairc Yeah, that's why I specified -- "if he honestly thinks that" -- clearly specifying that I do not know if he is being sarcastic or if he is serious. I know what Colbert plays, I was not sure if he was in character in this particular occasion.
Go back a bit... The idea of god arguing with himself through us is not ridiculous. Why do you think this? A lot of Buddhist beliefs stem from this idea, are Buddhists ridiculous? Careful!
They say the 'Buddha' - insert God, YHWH, the sentient energy of the multiverse, the flying spaghetti monster, it has many names - creates us and lives infinite lives and experiences through us. As us. Simultaneously. I think that's more beautiful than ridiculous. Also I think 'he' is hella bored, but crea
@mattpanag Fun idea. I also think it'd be beautiful if the universe was created by a chorus of mermaids singing it into existence. However, there's no reason to believe that because there's no evidence for it.
@mattpanag If you have no evidence, there's no reason to believe it. It's simply an unknown. The point of open-mindedness is being open to new evidence, not to run away from a substantiated position.
There is no such thing as a rock too heavy. So God cannot lift nothing. It is a contradiction. ‘He cannot deny himself’ (2 Timothy 2:13), so he has internal restrictions put upon by himself.
this dude cant help to be sarcastic . try to be serious about your religious convictions. hes just defecating utter non sense. Hes not smart just witty as hell. you can get away with saying stupid shit when its in a form of joke.
The Holy Spirit restrains the Christian. The Holy Spirit applies faith to our lives so that we even have the ability TO believe, because on our own we simply do not have the ability to move toward God. God lives in light in which no man approaches, Yet you are 100% correct. You did choose, and so did I, because in the day of His power, his people will be "willing." God graciously allowed us to choose him through HIS power not our own power, because we cant. Read Romans. We have no ability.
I know you're an "atheist", but next time you might want to actually read the bible before making a comment like that, Andy97009814. If you don't want to, then keep your mouth closed when it comes to Christianity stuff. Oh and you're one to speak about grammar. Are there two or more of you? No? Then it would be "I am an atheist" and not "I am an athiests".
@TKAiken07 Which comment are you referring to, and what is wrong about it? And "atheists" was a typo. That's better than overuse of exclamation marks and periods, and using no capital letters whatsoever.
You might want to read the whole conversation before you answer.
@Andy97009814 I'm referring to the comment that you made about the bible not teaching free will. I'm sorry if I made you feel bad about the typo. It definitely is better than an overuse of the things you described. I called you out on it because I'm a stickler for good grammar and I can't stand it when people don't use correct grammar or spell check. Anyway, have a great day...or night.
@TKAiken07 The bible teaches god knows everything. If someone knows everything, that someone also knows what we will do at any given time. Ergo we have no free will. We might think we have it, but if god already knows what will happen, there is no real choice. Logic > the babble.
@Andy97009814 Yes, it is true that God know everything, but what you described is wrong. Just because someone knows you will do something does not mean they control what you do. If you know that a friend was going to the store does that mean that you made that decision or even control your friend? No. You merely knew that your friend was going to the store. However, the choice to go to the store was solely your friend's choice. You had no control over your friend. It is the same with God.
@TKAiken07 There is a difference here. God knows everything. He knows even what route my friend will take, down to the nanometer, BEFORE my friend even decides to go to the store. I only know because my friend told me. That's the difference. God even knows what he himself will do, even think, at any given time. He has no control over us, but he knows what we will do. Remember, he knows EVERYTHING. and if someone knows everything, free will cannot exist. It's pure logic.
@Andy970098 You are incorrect when you say that God knowing everything means we have no free will. I have already shown you that free will can exist even if someone knows everything. What you have said is not as you say, "pure logic". It is not pure logic, because in order to have no free will then that means God controls us. He does not, though. It goes against the bible. John 3:16, For God so loved the world...and 1 John 4:8, Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
@Andy97009814 If God controls us then that means he is a tyrant. However, that goes against John 3:16 and 1 John 4:8, because a tyrant does not love his people. The word love is not even used to describe a tyrant. God is not tyrant, because God is love and he loves people.
@TKAiken07 1) I agree with you about the free will thing.
2) Still makes god responsible for Sin and everything else. If god knew ahead of time how things would work out if he made people and satan and such as he did, and he was capable of taking a different route that would have NOT led there (which, being all powerful, he should be able to) he is responsible for Satan, Sin and everything else.
3) Still need evidence the bible is accurate and correct for any of this.
@Stairc To be honest, I don't have an answer to # 2. Many followers of Jesus say that God is not responsible for these things. They say that God merely allows them. However, I am not so sure I agree with this. I am not saying that they are wrong, just that I do not know whether God is or isn't responsible for sin, Satan, and everything else. If you want to know the answer to this, you might want to try someone with more knowledge and expertise on the issue.
@TKAiken07 I've spoken to many priests and read articles on this issue. However, it's one they don't like addressing and often come back saying, "god is good so he wouldn't do that". Except... According to the bible, he did do that.
1) God knows how everything will work out if he creates things a certain way.
2) God created things in a way that he KNEW would lead to Sin, Satan's Fall, murder, disease and genocide.
Conclusion- God intentionally created Sin and all the rest.
@Stairc I've been doing some research on the subject since my last reply to you and have come to the conclusion that while God did create Satan he did not create sin. From what I've concluded sin was created by Satan when he rebelled against God. Some say that man created sin, but it in actuality it was Satan in the form of a serpent who introduced sin to man, thus suggesting that sin had been created before Adam and Eve.
@Stairc I guess one could say that since God created Satan, then he is indirectly responsible for the creation of sin. This may or may not be true. However I do know that God is not the author of sin since God is holy, cannot be tempted by evil, and is without sin (James 1:13-15, 1 Peter 1:16-25, 1 John 1:5, Psalm 145: 17, 1 Peter 2:22, etc.) This does not mean that God is not at least indirectly responsible for sin, just that he did not create it. Now, regarding evil...
@Stairc God may or may not have created evil. One also has to keep in mind that God's ways and thoughts are far above ours, so it is entirely possible that God created evil, that I am wrong about the creation of sin, and that God did create sin. I do wholeheartedly agree 100% with you on points 1 and 2, though. Sorry for such a long reply.
@TKAiken07 No problem. I like long, thought-out replies.
However, if you agree with 1 and 2 the conclusion follows inescapably. You claim god created everything a certain way, knowing precisely what would happen if he created it that way. He chose a way that would lead to sin, murder and genocide rather than one that wouldn't. Therefore, god is responsible for these things as one would a company be that intentionally created a product in a way they knew to be deadly defective.
@Andy97009814 Actually, I kind of agree with TKA here. Just because someone knows which decision you WILL make - it doesn't mean it wasn't your decision. As an extreme example, if someone is starving and there is a feast offered them - you can bet that the starving person is going to go for the feast every time. However, this doesn't mean they don't have the free will to refuse it.
Of course, this means god is still responsible for sin - but that's a different issue.
@Andy97009814 Let me clarify my last paragraph. God does not have control over us or what we do, say, and think, but that does not mean that he does not try to help us make the right choices. He never forces us or controls us, though. He is like an airplane steward who teaches passengers how to use the oxygen mask. The steward will tell you that you should use the mask if the plane should go down, but ultimately it is your choice whether to put the oxygen mask on or not.
@Andy97009814 Now you are just being stubborn. I will say it again, just because someone knows everything does not mean that they control people. In fact, here is the definition of omniscience. Omniscience- Having total knowledge; knowing everything. There you have it. It says nothing about controlling people or their actions, thoughts, or words.
@Andy97009814 You did say that God has no control over us, but then you contradicted yourself by saying that we have no free will. If there is no free will then that means that we are controlled. Having free will, by definition, means we can make choices and such without being forced to. You cannot have an absence of free will and an absence of control. It just doesn't fit. You have to have one or the other. If you have free will, you cannot have control.
@TKAiken07 I never contradicted myself. I said god has no control over us, he has no control over himself either. Why do you assume that if we don't have free will, the controlling force is god? If god knows everything, the future is fixed. If it is not, he does not know what will happen. If the future is fixed, it cannot be changed. Ergo free will doesn't exist. Not for us, not for god.
also can god change its(as far as i know, which i admit isnt much, god has no penis....so not a he...) own future actions or is it bound to this pre-written destiny you talk about? does that mean god has no free will either?
so far god hasnt chosen to talk to me in a way i can comprehend(i would assume that would be in its power)
@sabin97 According to the bible - and most christians - god knows everything. If you know everything, you know your own future, If the future is known, it has to be fixed. If the future is fixed, it cannot be changed. Ergo free will doesn't exist. And no, god doesn't have free will either.
@sabin97 If god is all knowing, then yes, he is powerless to change the future. But god cannot be almighty anyway, because omnipotence is self contradictory (can god create a stone he cannot lift?).
Those who say god is almighty do not lie, for it is not a lie if you think it is true. It's false, but it's not a lie. If the however say god is almighty knowing he is not, then they are liars.
@sabin97 BECAUSE GOD GOT MARY PREGNANT!!!!! UNLESS HE IS A SHE THEN SHE WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE LESBIAN WITH SPERM<<<< THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. GOD DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. LIFE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. I just killed myself
@TKAiken07 The difference between the steward and an omniscient being (god), is this: the steward knows what will probably happen if the mask is not used properly. God know weather we will use the mask or not, BEFORE we make the decision ourselves. We think we have a choice, but what we choose is already known to god before we do the choice.
@TKAiken07 No. We think we chose, but the outcome of the choice is already known. We chose what is already known we will chose. If we had free will we would be able to chose differently than god knows, and then god would not know everything.
@Andy97009814 Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm laughing because by your logic if we are not able to choose differently than God knows, then you are a follower of Jesus (or "Christian") since God is the God of the Christians. By being a so-called atheist you have chosen differently than God knows and thus have defeated your own arguement against free will.
@Andy97009814 What kind of circular logic is that? Your argument is that "We cannot have free will because that would contradict the idea God knows everything". How do we know God knows everything? "BECAUSE I SAID SO!"
Wow. A lot of you over think things. You followers of Jesus should not even try to witness on here. It will not do any good. However, you "atheists" and others should not be so quick to dismiss the followers of Jesus as "people who drink the Kool-Aid", as you do not know everything and it could be that God exists, you just don't know it yet. Oh and yes the bible does teach that we have free will. Some verses are Deuteronomy 30:11& 15, John 14:15, John 15:7, 1 John 5:1, & John 3. Next time you m
@TKAiken07 Why do i choose to get into these youtube comments? The bible absolutely does not teach that we have a free will in the way that most people define free will. Free will to the theologian is being able to do whatever you want whenever you want it with out any kind of restraint or hindrance. The bible teaches compatiblism. Look it up my "free will" advocates. The proof texts you listed do not teach a free will, rather a choice based on being given the ability to do so. try again.
@VanillaCharmander What restraint or hindrance has God put on us? I have searched the bible several times over and cannot find a single restraint or hindrance that God has put on us, so if you have some "secret knowledge" please share. You sayed: "a choice based on being given the ability to do so." That sounds like free will to me. In fact, here is the definition for free will: The ability or discretion to choose; free choice. The power of making free choices that are unconstrained by external
@VanillaCharmander@VanillaCharmander circumstances or by an agency such as fate or divine will. The apparent human ability to make choices that are not externally determined. The doctrine that such human freedom of choice is not illusionary. The ability to make a choice without coercion. There you have it. Divine will is not a restraint or hindrance nor does it place any on us and last time I checked, let me check again...yep, I was not coerced into following Christ. I freely chose to.
@VanillaCharmander One more thing, if a man was on the 30th floor, which is blocked by concrete and such, in a high rise building that was on fire and his only two options were to jump or stay in the building and perish then was he coerced? No. He is simply presented with two choices with one being more desirable than the other. Even though these are his only two choices, he still has the free will to choose which choice to take. If he chooses to stay, he dies. If he chooses to jump, he lives.
If Jesus was real, he was merely a delusional idiot who believed he was the son of the imaginary Jew god Yahweh and found 12 gullible fools to believe it also. David Koresh had 80 ignorant, gullible, Christian fools to believe he was Yahweh's prophet. Jim Jones had over 900 Kool-Aid drinking Christians. Enough said.
Oh dear, another grown up indoctrinated at a young age and never blessed or encouraged by his parents to think for himself and question everything. Without these attributes just accepting the writings of an ancient despicable that you choose to take the nice things out of and ignore or say they are out of context the horrific. Teaching the same false without basis of fact to the poor children coming through today. Science proves there is no God, the gaps they can not yet do not mean God did it!
Laws can arise from simple, basic, secular logic. If everyone ran around killing each other, humanity would die out. That would be bad for everyone, therefore we should have a law against killing. *check*. If we all ran around stealing we would have no stuff, better have a law against stealing *check*. You can do this with all the ten commandments, aside from the three redundant ones about loving God. Come to think of it, most of them are redundant. (you have to covet before you will steal)
@RickMojave Makes no sense. I mean you can create counter arguments of course, but certainly this is not one of them. This is not a paradox in religious sense.
@RickMojave God Created the act of Lift. Are you asking Him to create a rule and the material an apply it to himself? You are comparing something Created to something not Created. Its like asking, can God make a square a circle. He can make the circle and call it a square. Can God make another God. You are just one of many ppl regurgitating these statements without sitting and pondering. P.S Follow the religion that is being attacked on a daily basis and all these questions will be answered.
@fsacoor his point was god could make a paradox with himself if he truly is what all the religions say he is. you are trained to turn and twist things to make sense in your little world. atheists dont have to turn or twist anything to make sense. shit does make sense if you use your brain
"his point was god could make a paradox with himself if he truly is what all the religions say he is"
This statement is sufficient against you. I will make you think deeper. God created that sentence you just typed with the concept of a paradox. Now fly little birdie fly.
@fsacoor you just proved that you dont understand what a paradox is or that you are too stupid to even attempt a response to what i actually said. he created that sentence i just typed lol? then whats the point of even being alive if your god has complete control of everything. if you killed yourself then he wanted you to kill yourself? thats beyond retarded, but i say you should go for it
Now you asking the right questions. Firstly God is not a man or some idol or anything created. Once you understand that you will never understand what it is till it introduces itself to you and wants you to know than you will be more "comfortable" with the life that you have. The point of being alive is to recognise God and with your intellect that he has given you to worship him in the correct way without association of partners.
@fsacoor Who the fuck are you to tell anyone what the point of being alive is? There are so many different reasons to live, and what bothers me about people like you, is that you want to IMPOSE a standard on people who might not think like you, I just find you shallow, when your trust in God is as shallow as it is; if you trust in God so much, why do you even bother telling your children that there is a God? Shouldn't God present himself when and how he desires without your help?
@leadleader2023 Firstly to answer your first question I am your daddy. Hope that clears that matter. Secondly google some shyte. Vast Majority of the world believes in God. It does come naturally. Who are you to ask God to present himself. Be content he sent messengers to teach you the basic concept of staying away from Usury/Interest (as an example). If you just followed that basic rule, this world wont be in this financial crisis. You ppl just dont get it, no rules. Do as you want and wait.
@fsacoor I think that religion is derived from natural things, but I also think that believing in Jesus Christ does not come naturally; and if it does come naturally, then why in the name of God would any religious person invest so much money on religion? It comes naturally!! Why invest money on something that we already have free of charge? Why invent rules when it comes naturally? Because Jesus does not come naturally, Jesus requires money and rules, just like the rest of us.
@fsacoor I am not asking God to present himself, that's the point, God will present himself when and how he wants, or God will not present himself if he does not want to: it will always be God and whatever God decides to do, so why should I disrespect God by acting against him? I do not impose his existence on children because doing such a thing is acting against God, I am not asking God to do anything that he doesn't want to do, I merely respect him and I act accordingly.
@fsacoor I ask you this: who are you to do something that God does not want you to do? Who are you to know what God wants you to do? You cannot ask God to present himself but you can impose his existence upon innocent children? I think you betray your faith with your actions; you dismiss me because in your opinion, my actions are not sustained by faith in a religion, yet personally, faith in the human heart (irrespective of religion) is all that I could ever ask for.
@fsacoor Thank you. I just wonder why the rest of the animals manage to survive without the necessity of genocide, without religion sustaining all of their actions. Though I'm not exactly pro religion nor against religion, I genuinely respect and admire Jesus Christ, but I think you are shallow with your faith.

The fruit of Homosexuality is extinction! All men are created equal but all sex acts are not. Homosexuals have no business marrying. It is an abomination. God gave them over to a reprobate mind.

(6:14) How come the constitution never mentions evolution? Because it was created by religious people, that's why black people were enslaved even though the constitution was supposed to -- "Abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime" -- because you know what? Every single person who affected the creation of the constitution was white and religious. That's why the constitution does not mention neither evolution nor the inherent flaws to billionaire ownership.

TKAiken07 2 months ago
@TKAiken07 The bible teaches god knows everything. If someone knows everything, that someone also knows what we will do at any given time. Ergo we have no free will. We might think we have it, but if god already knows what will happen, there is no real choice. Logic > the babble.
Andy97009814 2 months ago
@Andy97009814 Yes, it is true that God know everything, but what you described is wrong. Just because someone knows you will do something does not mean they control what you do. If you know that a friend was going to the store does that mean that you made that decision or even control your friend? No. You merely knew that your friend was going to the store. However, the choice to go to the store was solely your friend's choice. You had no control over your friend. It is the same with God.
TKAiken07 2 months ago
@TKAiken07 There is a difference here. God knows everything. He knows even what route my friend will take, down to the nanometer, BEFORE my friend even decides to go to the store. I only know because my friend told me. That's the difference. God even knows what he himself will do, even think, at any given time. He has no control over us, but he knows what we will do. Remember, he knows EVERYTHING. and if someone knows everything, free will cannot exist. It's pure logic.
Andy97009814 2 months ago
@Andy970098 You are incorrect when you say that God knowing everything means we have no free will. I have already shown you that free will can exist even if someone knows everything. What you have said is not as you say, "pure logic". It is not pure logic, because in order to have no free will then that means God controls us. He does not, though. It goes against the bible. John 3:16, For God so loved the world...and 1 John 4:8, Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
TKAiken07 2 months ago
@Andy97009814 If God controls us then that means he is a tyrant. However, that goes against John 3:16 and 1 John 4:8, because a tyrant does not love his people. The word love is not even used to describe a tyrant. God is not tyrant, because God is love and he loves people.

@TKAiken07 1) I agree with you about the free will thing.
2) Still makes god responsible for Sin and everything else. If god knew ahead of time how things would work out if he made people and satan and such as he did, and he was capable of taking a different route that would have NOT led there (which, being all powerful, he should be able to) he is responsible for Satan, Sin and everything else.
3) Still need evidence the bible is accurate and correct for any of this.

@Stairc To be honest, I don't have an answer to # 2. Many followers of Jesus say that God is not responsible for these things. They say that God merely allows them. However, I am not so sure I agree with this. I am not saying that they are wrong, just that I do not know whether God is or isn't responsible for sin, Satan, and everything else. If you want to know the answer to this, you might want to try someone with more knowledge and expertise on the issue.

@TKAiken07 I've spoken to many priests and read articles on this issue. However, it's one they don't like addressing and often come back saying, "god is good so he wouldn't do that". Except... According to the bible, he did do that.
1) God knows how everything will work out if he creates things a certain way.
2) God created things in a way that he KNEW would lead to Sin, Satan's Fall, murder, disease and genocide.
Conclusion- God intentionally created Sin and all the rest.
Stairc 1 month ago
@Stairc I've been doing some research on the subject since my last reply to you and have come to the conclusion that while God did create Satan he did not create sin. From what I've concluded sin was created by Satan when he rebelled against God. Some say that man created sin, but it in actuality it was Satan in the form of a serpent who introduced sin to man, thus suggesting that sin had been created before Adam and Eve.
TKAiken07 1 month ago
@Stairc I guess one could say that since God created Satan, then he is indirectly responsible for the creation of sin. This may or may not be true. However I do know that God is not the author of sin since God is holy, cannot be tempted by evil, and is without sin (James 1:13-15, 1 Peter 1:16-25, 1 John 1:5, Psalm 145: 17, 1 Peter 2:22, etc.) This does not mean that God is not at least indirectly responsible for sin, just that he did not create it. Now, regarding evil...
TKAiken07 1 month ago
@Stairc God may or may not have created evil. One also has to keep in mind that God's ways and thoughts are far above ours, so it is entirely possible that God created evil, that I am wrong about the creation of sin, and that God did create sin. I do wholeheartedly agree 100% with you on points 1 and 2, though. Sorry for such a long reply.
TKAiken07 1 month ago
@TKAiken07 No problem. I like long, thought-out replies.
However, if you agree with 1 and 2 the conclusion follows inescapably. You claim god created everything a certain way, knowing precisely what would happen if he created it that way. He chose a way that would lead to sin, murder and genocide rather than one that wouldn't. Therefore, god is responsible for these things as one would a company be that intentionally created a product in a way they knew to be deadly defective.
Stairc 1 month ago
@Andy97009814 Actually, I kind of agree with TKA here. Just because someone knows which decision you WILL make - it doesn't mean it wasn't your decision. As an extreme example, if someone is starving and there is a feast offered them - you can bet that the starving person is going to go for the feast every time. However, this doesn't mean they don't have the free will to refuse it.
Of course, this means god is still responsible for sin - but that's a different issue.
Stairc 1 month ago
@Andy97009814 Let me clarify my last paragraph. God does not have control over us or what we do, say, and think, but that does not mean that he does not try to help us make the right choices. He never forces us or controls us, though. He is like an airplane steward who teaches passengers how to use the oxygen mask. The steward will tell you that you should use the mask if the plane should go down, but ultimately it is your choice whether to put the oxygen mask on or not.

@TKAiken07 I never said god had any control over us. Here is what I said:
God knows everything, he knows what we will do, even think, at any given time. He even knows that about himself.
For someone to have that knowledge, the future has to be fixed. There is no way to change it.
For free will to exist, the future cannot be fixed. Yet if god knows everything, the future is fixed. Ergo we have no free will.
Note, I do not say god controls us. He just knows exactly what will happen.
Andy97009814 2 months ago
@Andy97009814 You did say that God has no control over us, but then you contradicted yourself by saying that we have no free will. If there is no free will then that means that we are controlled. Having free will, by definition, means we can make choices and such without being forced to. You cannot have an absence of free will and an absence of control. It just doesn't fit. You have to have one or the other. If you have free will, you cannot have control.

@TKAiken07 No. We think we chose, but the outcome of the choice is already known. We chose what is already known we will chose. If we had free will we would be able to chose differently than god knows, and then god would not know everything.

@Andy97009814 Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm laughing because by your logic if we are not able to choose differently than God knows, then you are a follower of Jesus (or "Christian") since God is the God of the Christians. By being a so-called atheist you have chosen differently than God knows and thus have defeated your own arguement against free will.

@Andy97009814 What kind of circular logic is that? Your argument is that "We cannot have free will because that would contradict the idea God knows everything". How do we know God knows everything? "BECAUSE I SAID SO!"

Wow. A lot of you over think things. You followers of Jesus should not even try to witness on here. It will not do any good. However, you "atheists" and others should not be so quick to dismiss the followers of Jesus as "people who drink the Kool-Aid", as you do not know everything and it could be that God exists, you just don't know it yet. Oh and yes the bible does teach that we have free will. Some verses are Deuteronomy 30:11& 15, John 14:15, John 15:7, 1 John 5:1, & John 3. Next time you m

@TKAiken07 Why do i choose to get into these youtube comments? The bible absolutely does not teach that we have a free will in the way that most people define free will. Free will to the theologian is being able to do whatever you want whenever you want it with out any kind of restraint or hindrance. The bible teaches compatiblism. Look it up my "free will" advocates. The proof texts you listed do not teach a free will, rather a choice based on being given the ability to do so. try again.

@VanillaCharmander What restraint or hindrance has God put on us? I have searched the bible several times over and cannot find a single restraint or hindrance that God has put on us, so if you have some "secret knowledge" please share. You sayed: "a choice based on being given the ability to do so." That sounds like free will to me. In fact, here is the definition for free will: The ability or discretion to choose; free choice. The power of making free choices that are unconstrained by external

@VanillaCharmander @VanillaCharmander circumstances or by an agency such as fate or divine will. The apparent human ability to make choices that are not externally determined. The doctrine that such human freedom of choice is not illusionary. The ability to make a choice without coercion. There you have it. Divine will is not a restraint or hindrance nor does it place any on us and last time I checked, let me check again...yep, I was not coerced into following Christ. I freely chose to.

@VanillaCharmander One more thing, if a man was on the 30th floor, which is blocked by concrete and such, in a high rise building that was on fire and his only two options were to jump or stay in the building and perish then was he coerced? No. He is simply presented with two choices with one being more desirable than the other. Even though these are his only two choices, he still has the free will to choose which choice to take. If he chooses to stay, he dies. If he chooses to jump, he lives.

If Jesus was real, he was merely a delusional idiot who believed he was the son of the imaginary Jew god Yahweh and found 12 gullible fools to believe it also. David Koresh had 80 ignorant, gullible, Christian fools to believe he was Yahweh's prophet. Jim Jones had over 900 Kool-Aid drinking Christians. Enough said.

Oh dear, another grown up indoctrinated at a young age and never blessed or encouraged by his parents to think for himself and question everything. Without these attributes just accepting the writings of an ancient despicable that you choose to take the nice things out of and ignore or say they are out of context the horrific. Teaching the same false without basis of fact to the poor children coming through today. Science proves there is no God, the gaps they can not yet do not mean God did it!

Laws can arise from simple, basic, secular logic. If everyone ran around killing each other, humanity would die out. That would be bad for everyone, therefore we should have a law against killing. *check*. If we all ran around stealing we would have no stuff, better have a law against stealing *check*. You can do this with all the ten commandments, aside from the three redundant ones about loving God. Come to think of it, most of them are redundant. (you have to covet before you will steal)

@RickMojave Makes no sense. I mean you can create counter arguments of course, but certainly this is not one of them. This is not a paradox in religious sense.

@RickMojave God Created the act of Lift. Are you asking Him to create a rule and the material an apply it to himself? You are comparing something Created to something not Created. Its like asking, can God make a square a circle. He can make the circle and call it a square. Can God make another God. You are just one of many ppl regurgitating these statements without sitting and pondering. P.S Follow the religion that is being attacked on a daily basis and all these questions will be answered.

@fsacoor his point was god could make a paradox with himself if he truly is what all the religions say he is. you are trained to turn and twist things to make sense in your little world. atheists dont have to turn or twist anything to make sense. shit does make sense if you use your brain

@StotchLeopoldButters Is that is:
"his point was god could make a paradox with himself if he truly is what all the religions say he is"
This statement is sufficient against you. I will make you think deeper. God created that sentence you just typed with the concept of a paradox. Now fly little birdie fly.

@fsacoor you just proved that you dont understand what a paradox is or that you are too stupid to even attempt a response to what i actually said. he created that sentence i just typed lol? then whats the point of even being alive if your god has complete control of everything. if you killed yourself then he wanted you to kill yourself? thats beyond retarded, but i say you should go for it

@StotchLeopoldButters Whats the point of being alive?
Now you asking the right questions. Firstly God is not a man or some idol or anything created. Once you understand that you will never understand what it is till it introduces itself to you and wants you to know than you will be more "comfortable" with the life that you have. The point of being alive is to recognise God and with your intellect that he has given you to worship him in the correct way without association of partners.
fsacoor 2 months ago
@fsacoor Who the fuck are you to tell anyone what the point of being alive is? There are so many different reasons to live, and what bothers me about people like you, is that you want to IMPOSE a standard on people who might not think like you, I just find you shallow, when your trust in God is as shallow as it is; if you trust in God so much, why do you even bother telling your children that there is a God? Shouldn't God present himself when and how he desires without your help?

@leadleader2023 Firstly to answer your first question I am your daddy. Hope that clears that matter. Secondly google some shyte. Vast Majority of the world believes in God. It does come naturally. Who are you to ask God to present himself. Be content he sent messengers to teach you the basic concept of staying away from Usury/Interest (as an example). If you just followed that basic rule, this world wont be in this financial crisis. You ppl just dont get it, no rules. Do as you want and wait.

@fsacoor I think that religion is derived from natural things, but I also think that believing in Jesus Christ does not come naturally; and if it does come naturally, then why in the name of God would any religious person invest so much money on religion? It comes naturally!! Why invest money on something that we already have free of charge? Why invent rules when it comes naturally? Because Jesus does not come naturally, Jesus requires money and rules, just like the rest of us.

@fsacoor I am not asking God to present himself, that's the point, God will present himself when and how he wants, or God will not present himself if he does not want to: it will always be God and whatever God decides to do, so why should I disrespect God by acting against him? I do not impose his existence on children because doing such a thing is acting against God, I am not asking God to do anything that he doesn't want to do, I merely respect him and I act accordingly.
leadleader2023 1 month ago
@fsacoor I ask you this: who are you to do something that God does not want you to do? Who are you to know what God wants you to do? You cannot ask God to present himself but you can impose his existence upon innocent children? I think you betray your faith with your actions; you dismiss me because in your opinion, my actions are not sustained by faith in a religion, yet personally, faith in the human heart (irrespective of religion) is all that I could ever ask for.
