[Chpt. 11] Atheists Don't Have To Disprove Sh!t

[tbbtbestshow]

hey bro, i completely agree with u ,its the believers that need to answer

and i just wannit to encourage u to look into islam,if ur an atheist who looks for proof,the quran has a lot of facts that have jus beendiscovered recently, such as theBIGBANGTHEORY, human development ,proof of otherplanets, and this was all 14 hundred years ago that the quran came into being, and hasntchanged until today,unlike other religous books,im sorry if this comment annoyedu but as amuslim i mustexplain my religion

[iamjordandavoll]

Fuck. Yes. I could not have put it any better myself. I have been an atheist for almost a month now, and I grew up under generations of fundamentalist Christians, from Mississippi and South Carolina. After finding your videos, I have been slowly building up great points like this, ready for the day I have to explain to my parents why I don't believe in talking snakes and cosmic zombie saviors. From one black atheist to another, thank you.

[Pivotman1]

I was born into Biblical faith and I even have a Biblical name... It was so hard for me to become an Atheist and it still is a little difficult. Since I was born into Biblical faith I still get the urges to run away or disavow my self from anything Atheist but a part of my brain keeps telling me to get the deed done and go with the obvious stances and I am. Shows you how the Christian brainwashing works....

[iamjordandavoll]

@Pivotman1 I totally agree with you there. I grew up in the south and into Biblical faith as well. The moment my mind started free-thinking for itself, I was seriously afraid and shocked at the things I was thinking and would hide them away. It is sad that the fear will keep most people from breaking off of religion. I was a lucky one.

[DynamiteThis]

Amen to this video!!

[abhaywilliams]

This is only directed toward Americanized Christianity. Most other religions make a point that God is what is inside every living object, what motivates it to breath and eat and not want to die. I mean, what is that force that inspires you to take that first breath after birth? And to find food and shelter, do whatever you can to make it to the next day? That is what they call God.

[Bloodlust392]

@abhaywilliams stop trolling his videos.

[LudwigVaanArthans]

@abhaywilliams They make a point. They do not prove. I can make points about uncertain things too. Life comes from the Great Turtle of Infinity <- what else could it be? Oh, my bad, your friend up in the sky is a better answer. The abrahamic faiths are all the same - they attribute to god everything, and get all butthurt when it slowly comes out that god is not responsible for what they believed in.

[abhaywilliams]

@LudwigVaanArthans I am neither religious, nor atheist, I only see the fact the we still do not know what created the universe and there are a lot of possibilities. I believe evolution and I love science, however we have not proven what created us yet, therefor I stand neutral. Not all religions believe in a "friend in the sky." I use to be Atheist, before I realized how arrogant I was. I had no real research or knowledge of the meaning of religion, and I took a liking to Muslim/Buddhism/etc.

i love the title

[Warmsprite1w]

Thank you. Youve perfecly stated how I feel about this :D

Do you legitimately listen to insane clown posse, or are you only wearing the shirt ironically?

[Timbubu]

You the man, man.

If faeries and gnomes didn't exist, then why would my garden have so many places perfect for them to hide in?

You related to Rashad Evans by any chance?

Hello from Reddit, angry black guy with horrible musical taste! Now post this shit all over every Christian everything everywhere.

[MarcusEFN]

@SturrStruck Haha! That's a good one.

[ccofmight]

subbed you rock

[SturrStruck]

If the Devil punishes bad people, is he good?

[ichleibemeinenvr6]

@SturrStruck If god punishes good people is god bad?

[boneinthehole]

I've always felt that it is not up to me to prove god does NOT exist, it is up to christians to prove that god DOES exist. They have to produce proof and so far they haven't had much luck.

[boneinthehole]

Hahahahahahaha!  Amen brother!!

[dune310la]

Christianity disproves itself bro..christians just have their head too far up Gods anus to just see it...

Thank you, i will show this video to people that "force" me to prove them wrong.

I really like your videos btw, subbed :)

[bahnny]

extraordinary claims (Of course, this isnt the case, evolution has nearly two hundred years of studies, peer review, and is reproducible to varying extents, whilst the theists rely on feelings)

Burden of proof of course belongs in court rooms, i'd be insane to disagree - But it is very useful outside of it as well when evaluating claims.

[imweighting]

@bahnny "Atheists don't have to disprove anything." The one making the negative statement does not have to disprove or prove anything. This rule does not change no matter how much counter evidence there is.

It doesn't matter if the topic is evolution or God, they will never have to prove a thing.

With that said, I believe in evolution, I just hate the burden of proof theory. It's laziness and arrogance combined into one fallacious idea. It can only work, in theory, in a court room.

[bahnny]

@imweighting That's exactly what I said?

We use the burden of proof in everyday life constantly, There's nothing fallacious about it. When my co-worker tells me they got a new cat, I can reasonably assume they aren't lying. When they tell me they got a new winged dragon, I start to require a bit more evidence.

If you understand how burden of proof works then you'd realize when you said "By this logic, theists are right when they say evolution isn't real." is nothing short of ridiculous.

[imweighting]

@bahnny That may be one of the best analogies I've read in a long time.

If someone were to say "Hey! Felines don't exist!" Someone else might say "Of course they do! You own a tabby cat!"

"No, cats don't exist. They are mythical creatures. An animal with four legs, slit eyes, blue hair, spines longer than their bodies, and able to run over 70 MPH? Let's be rational, people."

Of course, this is facetious.

I never said it wasn't ridiculous, but I'm trying[!] to play devil's advocate.

[StarMagick]

Damn you are the greatest find on youtube I have found in a very long time. Well done sir!

[imweighting]

By this logic, theists are right when they say evolution isn't real.

[bahnny]

@imweighting Wrong, They have a mountain of evidence they must disprove to again - make such an outlandish claim.

Evolution isn't some dreamt up shit darwin thought of one night, It's years of testable experimentation backed by known fact and peer review (There's alot of people that would like to claim its wrong, No one has - yet.)

The best part about it? Science already knows it doesn't know everything, And we will continue to ammend/improve theories over time to make them more accurate.

[imweighting]

@bahnny They wouldn't HAVE to disprove anything, as the burden of proof falls on the person making the positive statement. My point was, burden of proof belongs in the courtroom, not everyday life.

Actually, Darwin did sort of dream up evolution. He wanted to explain something, so he combined a few ideas and added in some of his own thoughts. It was then accepted as being logical and factual. Not too different from how most religions are created; evolution is just way more believable.

[bahnny]

@imweighting Uh. Yes they would HAVE to disprove the majority of the factual evidence propping evolution up. Darwin spent years researching and coming to the conclusions he did, And with the discovery of DNA evolution was "proven" (to the point where its nearly immune to criticism now) almost 90 years after darwin's publication.

Burden of proof belongs to someone making a claim and not all claims are equal. Theists believe that their claim is equal because on the face they are both

This is the only video that I have seen on youtube with over 10 views that has no dislikes. Good man.

[MAVsince1991]

why do your videos only have a few thousand views? dude get your videos OUT there... share everywhere please...

[DeathNoteFreak000]

Nice bro.

[aakurtzaakurtz]

I wanna listen to this guy, but the ICP shirt is just killing it for me.

[twitcher64]

I am an atheist and I do agree with you, but perhaps it would make a more convincing argument for them if you try for a more subtle argument.

[MegaP1972]

brilliant man. 

[bronsonbaker]

You're the man. 

[Jozeorules]

I liked you, until I saw the ICP shirt.

That which can be stated without evidence can be refuted without evidence

[MrBjrellul]

To fucking right

[realbojay]

They prove themselves right by dropping on their knees, clapping their hands together and talking to the ceiling. How can you expect somebody like that to go look for a proof further than their morbid fairy tale book to convince somebody else? Or as i like to call it.. their holy mountain of steaming shit on toilet paper.

[Portocala15]

@realbojay Heathen! Your beer will be stale after you die! D:

[realbojay]

@Portocala15

Sorry, i am not a beer fan.. actually i don't really drink any alcohol..

But when i drink some i enjoy it in this life and don't save it for the "afterlife" :p

[Portocala15]

@realbojay It was a reference to pastafarianism. :P

May the FSM bless you!

[realbojay]

@Portocala15

I will have to pass on the beer but i am sure the sauce on my pasta will be just awesome :D

May you be touched by His noodly appendage!

@GenerationXeroFilms. Sharing your videos on my atheist, philosophy and science page on Facebook. Look it up under that name if you want and give us a hit.

Looks like Rashad Evans decided to cut some weight

I personally think you have to be a complete retard to still believe in God after the age of about 3

Fuck yeah bro!

Very good point.

[NTonks1]

dude. got any shirts in chick sizes?

[SnagTalk]

Ask them politely to define exactly what "God" is. A good way to direct these pointless interactions is to (as you stated) put the burden on proof on them. The best way I've found is by asking questions as such.

[DimebagsZombie]

Man your videos rule.

[pilgrimpater]

It's easy to disprove the god of each religion.

Get a Moslem to disprove Christianity (and they can).

Get a Christian to disprove Islam (and they can).

Use this method for all other eligions.

We just sit back and watch and let them do all the work.

[TheAtheologian]

@pilgrimpater Like G.M. Jackson said: "It's not that God cannot be disproved, it's more accurate to say that theists cannot commit to a vision or definition of God"

But notably I think atheists have throughout history gotten enough reputation that the religious will all join in on biting our faces of.

[maskedcanadians]

@pilgrimpater its all a conspiracy

[SmexyAsianGirls]

@pilgrimpater Fucking smart.

[viicISrotcib]

simple, I wonder why most theists don't understand that.

[valerytozer]

Say it again Sam,.. say it again.

Children and the story's they come up with.

PUT UP or SHUT UP

[TheViolentBuddha]

WOOT WOOT!

[ReThinkingTheism]

This seems to be a consequence of the argumentum ad ignorantiam (argument from ignorance) logical fallacy where something is true because it hasn't been proven false.

[Dar0A0Nakk]

This PSA is brought to you by...

[a300pilotster]

Ask them to disprove the Hindu gods.

[ReThinkingTheism]

@a300pilotster Sadly, that's pretty easy to do if you accept the Bible as the inerrant word of God.

[ColdSpot999]

Well said!

[TheAtheistMon]

you are right
