  • my video to ndclark was intentionally simplistic. The reason for this is clear when people watch the video I am responding to and how he wanted to stay on a 'common language' type of level. With regards to ur vid...it'd be helpful if next time you clarify what this objective eternal reality is that you speak of. Is it your opinion that the earth being flat is a belief based upon 'temporary insignificant subjective emotions' as you called them? It doesnt seem to me that such is the case-peace man

  • The 'objective eternal reality' was just my attempt to relate to your position of there being an absolute eternal reality in God.

    No, I dont think it is an emotional position, but it was one based off everyday experience and subjective human perception which is often flawed.

    I didn't want a long winded video explaining all of that. I hope that clarifies a few things for you.

  • I watched Jack's video and was amazed that one of the reasons he gave was because he would see the stars and the moon every night, which I don't think is any form of proof at all. All the stars and moon show are the laws of nature in the cosmos. Anyway, great response. Short and straight to the point. Well said.

  • Normally, I wouldn't be surprised, but I expected better from Jack. I think that shows in the video, from my perspective at least.

  • Im an athiest too, and you know what? i have to hold myself back every single night, otherwise id just be out there genociding people left right and centre. I wish i could believe in god but satan assures me he doesnt exist!!!

    Hail satan

  • he had a mustache

    he believed in gravity

    he was white

    "I will kill millions of people in the name of no god"

    does that make sense to you?

  • The problem is some people use the 3Es about alot of things, so that's shown me that some if not alot of people just plain lack common sense.

  • I'm trying hard here not to contradict myself...to really say what I mean and mean what I say...here goes....I need to know that you guys have doubts, that you are confused sometimes by what you say, that you feel conflicted over the words you use to express meaning...that your thoughts and thinking are conflicted..that you actually have moments of realisation that U conflict with others..that U contradict U...I doubt myself all the time and I'm very confused about what is real, what is reality

  • Common sense ain't commom no more. UNbelievable, un-freakin'believable. I didn't know Clutch was an athiest! Like I'm really going to be convinced from a youth that uses big fancy words and attempts to have it all figured out. He sounds like a flea taunting a big ol semi truck! He'll be smashed onto the windshield. The one thing the Lord can not do is...HE can't make you love HIM back. "The fool has said there is no god", the Bible states. Well, we'll see about that!!

  • Finally, if reality does not change, then surely reality did not change before he was 16. Wondering about, specifically, (a) god reflects the values of the society that could lead one to think inevitably, versus believing in god(s), or even fairies, which surprise surprise are not understandable!! What is the name of that fallacy again, when you assume a common knowledge?

  • Common sense isn't always a reliable source of knowledge esp. to refect reality. It argues against both ndclark and Jack's. Reality is represented by sound varifiable logic. Not wishful thinking.

  • I can think of many example of when common sense failed me. Evidently what is common is also subjective, not a science, which is also against common sense, hehe. It is beyond anyone's capability to varify the tendecies of abolutely every one. Not from one's personal biases anyway, which what personal feelings are. Like you said, generalizations ARE very very convenient. Hey, maybe there's a god after all, and guess what, his name also starts with J!

  • Best response so far.

    Also, finding a dollar under your pillow doesn't validate the existence of fairies. He says it all in his video, we don't find a dollar, nor do we witness resurrection of the dead. Thus, it's perfectly understandable that some do not believe in a god too.

  • I always thought that Hammer Time was when you bludgeon small children with a hammer for Satan until I discovered God, then I realised that crucifixes were better weapons.

  • Well put Clutchology!
