@USERNAMEfieldempty Thank you!

Pictures are changing too often - it distracts from the speech and you can't make it to follow them anyway... so if I want to hear your speech, I have to scroll down not to see the pictures cause after one minute it already makes me feel dizzy

First of all, a nice video with Interesting arguments and thoughts. Personally I think the most important thing to realize as a religious person is that you only have your own personal belief, and you cant KNOW if there is a god and what god is. You cant even know if Free will exists. Hell, you cant even know if the world (as you know it) "exists". Another interesting paradox that you touch upon is the paradox of an omnipotent being, can an omnipotent being limit itself?

[HonestDiscussioner]

You should, it would be interesting.

Thanks! ^^

I've always wanted to do a video on Islam myself, but lack of time to prepare has led me to avoid it and just respond in PMs and in text comments.

It would be great if someone did a video on it, since I've never seen in covered in other videos debating Islam despite it being a fairly common response by Muslims.

"they are happy to convert people to their religion with the same book they just said doesn't contain the correct word of Allah"

You know, I think that is actually an excellent point. I may have to do a video on such a thing. If I do and forget to credit you, please remind me so you get proper credit for the inspiration.

Well actually the bible was never written in latin. The OT was in Hebrew mainly and the NT was originally mainly in Greek. However this is mere semantics and does not affect your point.

[Lobotaru]

So in short, it is used as a fail safe argument to stop people in foreign nations from scrutinizing their faith. The hypocrisy becomes quite profound when one realizes that while they condemn anyone who scrutinizes the English translation, they are happy to convert people to their religion with the same book they just said doesn't contain the correct word of Allah.
