hey Netwriter. i was attempting to comment on a previous video, but it ended and took me straight to this video. i hate when people set their videos to do that. i guess it helps you get more views, but it is annoying to me. not sure if it bugs others.

@thetruthrover If it did this it is the first I know of it. Please notice that I am not a partner with Youtube. I hope my videos get lots of views but I do not promote them and neither does Youtube that I am aware of.

Netwriter.I believe you have said that you believe in a creator from your native american culture that existed 4000 years before summerian.I have to ask,What is this creator.Without a reasonable filling in of the void you could have a case of cognitive dissonance yourself.

[Netwriter]

The Creator was being honored by my ancestors well before the time attributed to the biblical creation. Watch my video "The Creator".

Have you read the book netwriter?

[Netwriter]

No, but I have a very large data base of quotes. Checking the accuracy of this quote took me all of 5 seconds. My reading interest are focused on the origins of the bible and christianity. Neither have a divine origin.

It's not just christians and islamists - everyone is effected constantly by this:

You only see what you want to see, and most are constantly avoiding/reducing/explaining away the information they don't want to see.

This is also true of atheists, agnostics, football players, clowns, etc.

I lived in this world all my life until I took a philosophy class and challenged my own beliefs. Sure, christianity is comfortable, but that doesn't mean it's true. In fact, I'de rather suffer in the truth than be happy with stupidity.

educational video but your using that information to attack people that have certain beliefs, as a matter of fact it would have been more reasonable for yu to share the information without attacking and stating that what yu know is fact about these groups yu choose. that way anyone who watches it christian or muslim does not get repulse buy yur intent but rather sit back and learn something. learn to apply information with out using it to justify your bias.

I would go a step further like QualiaSoup did in one of his videos, and say that many Christians don't suffer from cognitive dissonance. The ways of their religion (assurance of faith, rejection of reason) has tought them to abandon cognitive dissonance and embrace 'Doublethink', a term introduced in Orwell's '1984'. Somehow they are able to think two contradictory ideas at the same time and not suffer from it. Once I became an atheist and scientist I saw I had been doing that with some beliefs.

@Netwriter my comment was kinda harsh. sorry about that. nice videos by the way.

Not all Theist are creationist. Augustine was one of them. He was not a creationist and yet he was one of the greatest if not the greatest Christian Theologian. Read the Letter of Genesis (401-415 A.D.) & The City of God (413-427 A.D.). and see how he interpreted the 6-day creation.

I love all of the ones where "B" was Hell. A. "God is Just" B. "Hell" C. "LALALALA" Explain that religious people. No person has ever actually even tried to explain that to me yet. Ive asked many people... They just move on to the next question like "lalala". Please PLEASE explain to me how your "just, forgiving, benevolent, LOVING" god can throw people into the fires of hell for ETERNITY. Explain to me how that is not a MASSIVE contradiction. Please explain this to me...

0:54 Don't think that anti-theists aren't guilty of this as well! It happens to all of us.

[Singlerity]

I used to have Cognitive Dissonance, but about year ago I got away from that. I am so happy about it! So much information I have denied is now to be learn! I love to be atheist for that.
