5 Questions From 2 Christians 4 Atheists

Hey youtube. We are Christians, and we have 5 question for atheists. Hopefully this will help us better understand where you guys are coming from.
Alright lets get right to it. This first question is fairly common, but the answers are always interesting.

Question 1: (starting at 0:15) What kind of evidence would it take for you to believe in God?
Not what would be a good start, but what evidence would actually convince you?
And when we say God we are talking about a mind which is all-loving, all-powerful, meaning He can do everything but the logically contradictory, all knowing, and eternal.

Question 2: (starting at 0:33) Is there anything I can do that could possibly convince you that God exists?
Like would any argument we could make have the potential to persuade you?

Question 3: (starting at 0:44) If you realized that an all-loving God existed, would you desire to have a relationship with Him?
If you said yes to that question, would you want to have a relationship with Him just to get to heaven or for some other reason?

Question 4: (starting at 0:56) Have you ever met a Christian who lives there life in such a way that it is clear that they really believe in an all-loving God?
Meaning they lived a life which was impressively kind, loving, and selfless.

Question 5: (starting at 1:09) Has the presence or lack of those type of Christians had any impact on your atheism?
Feel free to make a video response and answer some or all of these questions. And as all ways, Test everything. Hold on to the good.

Thanks, comments, videos, or private messages are fine with me. If you want to talk in person I also have a skype by the name of epydemic2020.

Ok. I'm not a Christian, nor am I an Atheist, but seriously. This is just stupid. Why cannot we simply accept that there are varying systems of belief on this planet, and that's just how it is! Let people believe what they believe and stop trying to convince others that what you believe is right, and what they believe is wrong! Freedom of religion is a basic human right. To try and encroach upon that is a violation of those rights!

@ExposeChosunNinja

This vid is not trying to convince anyone, but is just trying to better understand the views of people who consider themselves atheists. But there is nothing wrong with trying to convince people of your views, or having conversations about the evidence for and against certain views. Freedom of religion is a right... and talking about religion doesn't violate that in any way.

[ExposeChosunNinja]

@Epydemic2020 I agree, discussion of religion is not a rights violation, so long as one person is not trying to force their views upon someone else who does not want those views. My question to you though is, and this is coming from someone who believes in God, but is not a Christian or a member of any organized religion. Why do you even care what the views of Atheists are, if you believe that Christianity is the only right path, and that all others are wrong?

@ExposeChosunNinja

I have yet to experience when better understanding those who disagree with you is a bad thing. It seems to help with evaluating your own beliefs, as well as having more meaningful discussions with people of different views.

[Gnomefro]

@ExposeChosunNinja Unfortunately, most religions try to oppose discussion by containing strong emotional memes that prevent the believers from critically examining their beliefs. Such religions are merely damaging control devices that hold humanity back, and we would be immoral and uncaring if we did not challenge people with such views.

@ExposeChosunNinja "Freedom of religion is a basic human right. To try and encroach upon that is a violation of those rights!"

Freedom of religion is not a goal in itself. It's just an attempt to avoid bloodshed. The law of non contradiction tells us that almost all humans must be wrong about their religious views by logical necessity. because of this, what everyone should primarily be concerned about is figuring out what's true. The way to do this is to challenge beliefs.

@ExposeChosunNinja "Let people believe what they believe and stop trying to convince others that what you believe is right, and what they believe is wrong!"

My God tells me I should murder people like you. Do you still think it's my right to believe this and that people, including yourself, are immoral to try to convince me otherwise? If you have objections to this, realize that the texts of the most popular religions contain plenty of such commands.

Woo - you are off the deep end if you need definitions of common concepts like "personal" and "relationship"...

But hey... least now we are not talking about my fool-proof test amirite...?:3

5) Yes. Seeing people like this caused me to doubt my belief in god to the point that I looked up scientific evidence for god and thus, became an atheist upon realizing that there was none.

[MrMusicalAtheist]

@MrMusicalAtheist

4-2) Yes, though I would say that the ones who did believe deeply were not at all kind, loving, or selfless.

4) Again, if you mean the Christian heaven, then I definitely would not want to go there. Such a horrible place would be unimaginably horrible, and hell is by far the lesser evil. So, it would definitely be for another reason besides that.
