They sure do know when a person is at a point of weakness. I was having a terrible day at work once, and a well meaning christian started talking to me. At first he didn't identify himself as a christian but somehow I knew. He said "You know who you can talk to and always listens". Somehow I don't think talking to the sky will smooth things over with my boss.
youtubers stop being so dense and falling for this garbage, Matt never talks about all of the different prophecies that came true that were written in the bible, and that are not in any of the other religious books. I can see already that Matt is going to take a lot of people to hell with him. God Bless.
@chica0616 You need to call in and make your case. Only you are intelligent enough to prove your claim that bible prophecies are true. You have the facts. Call in and save us sinners. To not save us will damn you to eternal hell. Save yourself, save us. Chica8616 you are our only hope.
@chica0616 Call the show when Matt is hosting and give him a list of the Top 10 Bible Prophesies That Have Come. I guarantee he will talk about them, as he has, indeed fact, many times before. I see no reason why he wouldn't demolish your claims as he has the many other similar fulfilled prophecy claims he has over the years. You Christians should really stop being so dense and falling for your own garbage.
An omnipotent god would not waste its or our time with childish games . Of course everyone know. There would be no need for translations or convoluted excuses & explanations.Lost tribes would emerge from jungles with knowledge of god,Allah,or Christ already.Why would a being with an inconceivable power & intelligence play hide & seek while its playthings (us) suffer unthinkable horrors & crawl ever closer to destroying ourselves & its very creation??? What could you possibly see as unfair???
Or, has Hitchens says, why did "god" reveal himself to nutty illiterates in a backwards section of desert, not in China where people could read and write.

Sorry, guys there is a God. Who made the sky blue? Maybe you are with the alliens. I do agree people try to play gods, speaking in their own language. In a bad way.
100% certain. I should phrase more like this. Yes, there is God. And you can not see God. Just the beauty God has given us, and hopefully we respect it, enjoy, and care for what he has shown us.
"Just the beauty God has given us, and hopefully we respect it, enjoy, and care for what he has shown us."
You seem to be going off intuition, what you "feel" to be true. Years ago people "felt" that the earth was flat. It isn't. Out inutions can and do deceive us.
Looking at the scientific evidence we see that god probably doesn't exist, we don't know 100% but that's how it seems to look based off of observation.
Plus Pascal's Wager is weak so there's no good reason to be religious.
The sky has no color. Light that hits our atmosphere at direct angle refracts and the color blue gets to us. You will notice that at sunrise/sunset, the sky is RED, not blue. The angle is then much lower and red gets to us instead of blue. When the moon is really low on the horizon it will appear red by the same phenomena.
The physics of light diffraction that you commented on is correct. However, don't forget psychophysics. The blue, or Red colour is created by the brain (it creates colour based on the way the receptors in the eye and brain fire to certain wavelengths). There is no such thing as colour in the 'real world', just electromagnetic energy.
This reminds me of a funny story one of my friends told me.
There's a Christian group where he lives who stand on corners and aggressively shout at people that they're going to hell. One time, there was a kid of about sixteen or seventeen who decided to stand ten feet behind them holding a sign that said "Pink Floyd."

Fire and brimstone is not the Good News. The Good News is that you don't have to be a slave to whatever you body tells you to do. You don't have to be alone when you're alone. You don't have to be afraid of death. God made us in His own image, giving us free will. But we're not perfect in our handling of free will. And the only way we can hang out with God without wrecking the perfect set is to take credit for Jesus' perfection. That's the Good News. Don't you want to know God?
sounds like you can't handle life, so you make up a fairy godfather who makes you feel better, even though there's nothing actually there. now does that sound good, or crazy?
Wait a minute, you want us to take credit for Jesus's deeds? Isn't that a just a little disingenuous?
I deny that I am personally responsible for the deeds of my ancestors, however much I may have to deal with their repercussions in the present. Hence, Jesus did not absolve me of anything. Secondly, I do not believe that my sins are rectified by the death of someone else. That's called scapegoating, and it's ludicrous. My good works and misdeeds are my own property, thank you.
Did you know that Mankind got it's start by two episodes of incest just a few thousand yrs ago. Wow, I wonder why that info wasn't on the State Board Exam I wrote before I could teach Biology? They didn't ask about Noah's flood either. Come to think of it, nothing from a holy book was on the exam. I need to ask the state ed dept what's up with that :)>
This whole thing reminds me of when I worked as a hotel receptionist. I'd get Christians with pamphlets 'trapping' me at the desk, wanting to talk Jesus... during working hours! Seriously, not only do I have work to do, but these people were usually guests! NOT fair of them, and not cool either.
i think i have to disagree with don baker about being nice and kind to people who knock on your door. if i don't know you and you knock on my door and start spouting bullshit it's not too likely i'm going to be particularly nice. i'd be civil at the outset while telling you to get the hell away from my door and off my property...
One of the problems is that if you really want them to never come back, the best bet is to be nice to them. A lot of religious people are kind of drawn to the angry responses in a strange way. If NICE and CRITICAL in anyway, they may even make absolutely certain than no one from their group ever goes to your door again (worried that you may convert them). Its well mannered and well put criticism that annoys them the most. (was christian for 20 + years, heard this a bit, felt it a bit)
I can say for a fact that being nice is NOT a good way to get them to go away. Every week, like clockwork. One 'nice' Christian group every Sunday, one 'nice' Jehova's Witness group every Saturday. I'm getting a no-solicitiing sign... its getting absurd.
Well I can say for a FACT that it works every time for me.Of course it probably much better to be nice AND Informed Critic that is probably what works best.
Relax, I didn't say we should be "mean" or anything to them. I'm just saying, being nice doesn't make the problem stop. The problem is not that they do it once, but MANY times, knowing you'll say know, knowing they'll put you in that awkward position again next week.
For me, what will probably work best is the sign, and a good point to it when they ignore it.
I am seriously only trying to help you. if it is a serious problem, from my own understanding, i would say be a very cordial INFORMED critic. Most of US (speaking in the past tense) do not like that at all and see it as the greatest of all threats. but hey, if you enjoy the banter, be rude and abusive all you want.
You certainly like to assume things, don't you. WHERE did I say "we should be rude and abrasive?" Because I DIDN'T. You can make all the assumptions you want, but you're clearly not reading my comments in the proper context. If you can't even do that, why would I *want* your "help?"
I spent 20 years getting "informed" about Christianity. I don't need to spend 10 minutes at zero-dark-early in the morning on my doorstep telling a stranger my intimate reasonings for thinking its BS.
we all like to assume things. its what we ALL do. its part of our tenancies to understand. some presume things, the more honest Assume things.
So thanks for the complement .
I never said that you said we ShOULD be that way.
i was actually being quite polite towards you. Given that its comments only, I dont have the advantage of adding 'TONE of voice' to what I said. please just read it in a nice tone.
Curiously enough, I had a pair of evangelicals knock on my door last night looking for people to go to their prayer meeting. We had an interesting conversation for about 20 minutes, with them trying to witness me and my asking questions and pointing out holes in their logic and understanding of science. I invited them to come back if they ever wanted another talk on the subject, but I doubt if they'll return.
I like trying to prove their religion wrong to them and make them have to ask questions to their church leader which you know just makes up answers or spouts bible BS.
Hospitals are filled with captive audiences. People receive life giving treatment there like for example I received an appendix operation at the "Baptist Hospital", and some preacher was going around to all the rooms praying aloud for the person in the hospital bed. Many people do not feel comfortable with it, such as myself, but how many people felt comfortable telling him to go away?
You can't disprove Allah or the Koran either, but yet you would probably not jump on that band wagon. All religions claim miracles. To pick the Christian god and the Bible out of all the others is just special pleading.
I've actually been wondering what prophecies you people always talk about... The prophecies I've heard are crap. I would hope there is some prophecy I've missed. Share your knowledge.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There is so much info on the subject, on youtube, google, wiki, exc.. I believe in the bible and bible prophecy and I also believe that open minded research will lead you to the truth. If you cry out to god and say please show me the way, you will be guided. "seek and ye shall find" Good luck
"The prophecies I've heard are crap" Example please, and how much time did you spend studying the subject?
Well, for the whole fact that the messiah was supposed to be born of a virgin for Christians, one of the examples I've heard was Isaiah 7:14, which doesn't reference a virgin at all, and wasn't referring to the Messiah. Micah 3:10, I believe, isn't speaking about John the Baptist, and the majority I've heard follow the same pattern: taking anything which refers to anything resembling Jesus and exclaiming "Prophecy", whether or not the statement was a prophecy, or removing the context...
Of course not! The beloved IPU serves no false gods... Seriously though, I'd never even heard of that one. I knew it claimed they existed, but never saw where, what part is that from?
My family is episcopal, so all we have are the KJV, and I've never seen that... Besides the SAB is KJV mainly, I though, which is what I use primarily now. And looking at it, I see it in Job 39. And looking at some the of the rationalizations for it; it's simply laughable. "Other cultures claim to have seen them, so they must have been real at some time" is one of funniest ones I've seen from the Jamie-Fausset-Brown Bible commentary... Pliny saw them, they must be real.
Cry out to god? Mild psychosis. Btw, there's nothing respectful, moral or remotely intelligent about simply saying "i believe in the bible." In fact there's nothing relevant about that at all. Why you believe the bible is what's important. No honest, self-respecting, educated person should trust the accounts of superstitious ancient cultures who by their nature exaggerated, misinterpreted, and sometimes fabricated historical events, about the creator of the universe. Nobody.
No probs... I'm an English teacher-in-training, so I'm a pedantic pain in the bum when it comes to malapropisms/ spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc, etc...
The funeral for my Grandpa was ENTIRELY about Jesus, God, and the afterlife. The person who died was barely mentioned. It disgusted me.

You can't disprove Allah or the Koran either, but yet you would probably not jump on that band wagon. All religions claim miracles. To pick the Christian god and the Bible out of all the others is just special pleading.

And yes the bible has been disproved, so called facts and history just lies and fairytales

prophecies are bullshit.
1950 years ago some guys wrote about a guy 50 years ago, who satisfied the prophecies written by guys 500 years ago?
If you wanted to pretend to be the prophesied guy, or wanted to write about someone who was, and you knew about these prophecy's... well you know

I've actually been wondering what prophecies you people always talk about... The prophecies I've heard are crap. I would hope there is some prophecy I've missed. Share your knowledge.

There is so much info on the subject, on youtube, google, wiki, exc.. I believe in the bible and bible prophecy and I also believe that open minded research will lead you to the truth. If you cry out to god and say please show me the way, you will be guided. "seek and ye shall find" Good luck
"The prophecies I've heard are crap" Example please, and how much time did you spend studying the subject?

Well, for the whole fact that the messiah was supposed to be born of a virgin for Christians, one of the examples I've heard was Isaiah 7:14, which doesn't reference a virgin at all, and wasn't referring to the Messiah. Micah 3:10, I believe, isn't speaking about John the Baptist, and the majority I've heard follow the same pattern: taking anything which refers to anything resembling Jesus and exclaiming "Prophecy", whether or not the statement was a prophecy, or removing the context...

Of course not! The beloved IPU serves no false gods... Seriously though, I'd never even heard of that one. I knew it claimed they existed, but never saw where, what part is that from?

My family is episcopal, so all we have are the KJV, and I've never seen that... Besides the SAB is KJV mainly, I though, which is what I use primarily now. And looking at it, I see it in Job 39. And looking at some the of the rationalizations for it; it's simply laughable. "Other cultures claim to have seen them, so they must have been real at some time" is one of funniest ones I've seen from the Jamie-Fausset-Brown Bible commentary... Pliny saw them, they must be real.

Cry out to god? Mild psychosis. Btw, there's nothing respectful, moral or remotely intelligent about simply saying "i believe in the bible." In fact there's nothing relevant about that at all. Why you believe the bible is what's important. No honest, self-respecting, educated person should trust the accounts of superstitious ancient cultures who by their nature exaggerated, misinterpreted, and sometimes fabricated historical events, about the creator of the universe. Nobody.

No probs... I'm an English teacher-in-training, so I'm a pedantic pain in the bum when it comes to malapropisms/ spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc, etc...
