I wish every woman would read at least this page of the Skeptics Annotated Bible

Belief is not necessarily knowledge however knowledge is necessarily a (form of) belief (i.e. belief without, or at least very little, doubt).

[AngieAntiTheist]

@rob18767 I think it depends on how one defines "belief".

[theheinzification]

how typical is that! i checked out the video youre referring to. surprise surprise, ratings disabled. but hey, comments are possible. so i wrote one. guess what, approval needed. as this video is a response, but doesnt show up in the video response-section, i guess its the same with videos.

what a weak attitude for someone who has the absolute truth!

[AngieAntiTheist]

@theheinzification And now scottishprofessor has falsely flagged RayzerAtheist who also did a response vid. Maybe I'm next?

@RedBeetle "intellectual capacity" 1) First your argument is demonstrably incorrect. Religious belief and education level have been shown to have a inverse relationship. 2) If no atheist in the history of thought had ever supplied a complete philosophical system this would not weaken the position that insufficient evidence has been provided by your side to assume the existence of God. 3) The only thing you have shown is you are a master of the ad hominem attack and changing the subject.

I know plenty about the bible. Pro's and con's and have researched it greatly. I know this is your video and you can say what you want to but you do come across as if your the only person who has ever checked this stuff out and therefore your conclusions are infallible and final. Believe what you want to bu,t just remember it is just your belief. Many people alot smarter than you have researched alot more than you and come up with a totally opposite conclusion.

@neilwestham What do you "watch your own videos back"? I don't have videos.

[neilwestham]

@1Lanavis1...I don't have a religion, and I don't have beliefs. What do I need belief for?...There is only a singularity, everyone and everything is one, some call the singularity God, some call it the divine matrix, there are many names for it, it is only your beliefs that cause the illusion of separation...Simply by stating "I am an atheist" is divisive... I seem 'condescending' ?..You ought to watch your own videos back.

[1Lanavis1]

@neilwestham I asked your religion to see your beliefs. I mentioned Jesus b/c some people believe that Jesus is everyone. Now before we continue further in this discussion, please explain what do you mean about everyone being God. BTW, I am an atheist. I don't take the opinions of others as knowledge. I don't even take my own perceptions and sense by themselves as knowledge. Don't presume that I am coming from either arrogance or assumed intellect. It just makes you seem a bit condescending.

[neilwestham]

@1Lanavis1... I am not Hindu, Catholic or Jewish and no-one said anything about Jesus (who-ever he may or may not have been). If you drop the arrogance and the assumed intellect your perception of what is truth will be far clearer...Ask yourself this: "Why do I believe at all?"...And, "why do I acquire opinions of others to formulate my beliefs and then claim that as knowledge?"

[1Lanavis1]

@neilwestham Are you a Hindu? Because if your Catholic or Jewish, the everyone is god comment just makes you sound crazy. And no everyone is not Jesus.

[neilwestham]

You're wrong in your (mis) understanding of the word knowledge. You're wrong when you say the great flood didn't happen (there's lots of evidence to suggest otherwise)...And you're wrong to snicker when you claim that this scottish guy believes God wrote the bible.....Well, he did!.....We are ALL God, so the group that put the bible together were also God. There's nothing 'free' in your thinking, you've 'adopted' most of it, atheists are the opposite side of the same coin as religious believers.

[habfan24]

Simple silly atheists, do a little research and you won't sound like you're flaunting your ignorance but maybe that's what you're going for since your followers just chant and parrot what they hear, just like you. Genesis 2 doesn't present a creation account at all but presupposes the completion of God's work of creation set forth ijn chapter 1. The first 3 verses of Genesis2 simply carry the narrative of chpt 1 to its final and logical conclusion, using the same vocab. and style used in prev.ch

[guitardavid79]

You said there are contradictions in the first two chapters of Genesis (dealing with the creation). As long as were are talking about the King James version here and not any other version, exactly which verses are you talking about are contradictions?

I think I might can help you out with that, if your interested that is. I'm not looking to get into an argument with you or anything.
