Christian Lifestyles

Just an anecdote about one of my classes in Catholic high school called "Christian Lifestyles" that I thought you might enjoy.

Questions:
1) What do you think a "Christian lifestyle" entails?
2) What was the worst religious class you had to sit through?

Watch my other "Growing Up Atheist" videos here:

Sorry I've been so unreliable in my videos. There will be more coming up, but my place is not in any state to record a video at this time (yay for cleaning frenzy) and with classes and job hunting I've been hectic. I actually recorded this 3 months ago and only NOW got around to editing... oops!

BUT I have made a deal with DavidJohnWellman that we will match each other video for video, and as of this I am still one behind, so keep your eyes out for videos in the near future. (Oh, and check out his channel if you haven't already: www.youtube.com/user/DavidJohnWellman)

[BornWithoutReligion]

@thomasbieber323 Thanks so much :) I've been saying this for 6 months now, but I'm really planning on getting back to making videos again here soon! I even have a topic and plans to record it next weekend, but we'll see how that goes :/ I've made false promises before....

@BornWithoutReligion, please reply.

I'm not trying to be ignorant at all, I just want to get inside you're mind.

I saw you're bible blasphemy day and freaked out, but I have questions to ask you.

1. I too was once atheist, in reality I was just angry at God for not answering my prayers... To you think that is the same with you?

2. Don't you like the idea of eternal joy better then just disappearing after death?

3. Isn't it easier just to have faith?

[BornWithoutReligion]

@thomasbieber323 Here are your answers:

1. Absolutely not. I've never prayed, since I've always lived under the assumption that there is no god. I have no anger towards this idea many people hold, since you can't hate something that isn't there.

2. Just because one likes an idea doesn't make it true. I like the idea of a world without disease, yet that doesn't change the fact that people die of diseases all the time. I won't deny reality just to feel good.

3. In some ways, but that's just lazy.

I wonder why they pretended the other woman doesn't exist when they paired 2 of you with 1 guy. After-all the Bible does allow for a man to take on multiple wives, pretending that both of you were his wife would have been very consistent. It just seems Christians fall away from their roots as time passes. They don't even defend the position that the hungry should be fed or ill receive medical treatment despite Jesus's teachings.

This poor girl is in torment because she believes in God and as a result of such, she knows she has to go to hell one day for being a lower-than-life - lesbian. She is miserable and in torment because she knows that she is living in defiance of God's Laws and commandments. If she was a non-believer like she asserts here and there, she would forsake the religious issue altogether and move on in life. She frantically looks for someone out there that will tell her she is right and ok.

i think a christian lifestlye is aboutt; readingg that your prophets did incestt & then preaching against it, knowingg thatt they did pologamy & then shunning other religions thatt allow it, knowing thatt the women are meantt to cover thier heads, even if its onlyy a church & then ridiculingg those that do it, knowing thatt thier religion hates gays then themselves pretending to be okayy with it, erm basicallyy doing whatt the bible says only the opposite :-/

@BornWithoutReligion

1. Good answer

2. Just because you can't prove something exists doesn't make it false either. I understand that we'll never truly know what happens after we die, but for me I can't accept that I will cease to be after I'm dead, I can't deal with that kind of boredom!

3. We all have faith in something no matter what, the issue is when we wait around for our faith to do things for us.

From an Agnostic to an Athiest, thanks for the video!

@blackbrothapride I've seen my Christian friends being challenged by atheists, being challenged by Muslims etc. plenty of times and they have always remained gracious. If someone loses their temper when being challenged it's a sign that they may not be as mature in their faith as they think they are.

@Lemon020202 alot of public schools have religion classes. in Alberta Canada, it's mandatory to take a grade 12 Christian class.

[Swackers90]

I LOLEDDD threw out the whole video!!! hahaha

[shrikechan]

What kind of sadist would force you to plan to have your own kids when there are so many orphans? Sounds like part of a Christian lifestyle to her is making babies purely out of social/religious obligation instead of taking care of the childen who already exist and need parents.

@thomasbieber323 Being angry at a God is not atheism. My older brother went through a similar phase as you did and then returned to his beliefs and now trys to convince me that I am the same way, even though I have never believed in a god. People like my brother think they have experienced being atheists and, for that reason, have a position of wisdom and experience to tell others how to think/live, but the truth is they never stopped believing or they would not have had a god to be angry with.

Really - if i become a Christian I can have lesbian wives? - Hot Damn, where do I sign up?
