Belief is not a choice. You need sufficient evidence, and, after critically examining that evidence,
belief follows in due course. Many theists don't understand this.

  • I do believe. I'm not pretending. I've thought about it - "What if God didn't exist? What if I'm wrong?" and my conscious mind laughed at the thought.

    God did not withhold sufficient evidence. He sent Jesus. People didn't believe, even then. The only thing He could do better would be to show up, but our minds aren't powerful enough to process the sight.

  • @imzackable - That's fine. I do not believe. I'm not pretending. I've read religious texts, educated myself, engaged in debate and discussion, and I've seen no evidence that any god exists. The point of this video is that I am unable to change the status of my lack of belief in a god be an act of sheer will. I need sufficient evidence.

    By the way, the Bible says that some people saw God.

  • Very well done! Excellent presentation and argument from the rational mind. Going to view other videos you have made. Discovered this quite a while after you made it.

  • @awreslr2 Glad you liked it!

  • @ZebrasFirst The theory is - the process isn't.

    And for the last time, the theory of evolution does not deal with the origin of life. Why don't you theists understand that very simple concept.

  • In Al-Quran, there's so many evidence to prove that god is exist. . Try too watch in youtube dr zakir naik do his talk. .

  • @imzackable

    God made this life to be a test, if you failed you go to hell, if you succeeded you go to heaven, its as simple as that.

  • @imzackable "God did not withhold sufficient evidence. He sent Jesus."

    That's assuming you believe the evidence that he did exist. Outside of the bible it's exceedingly thin on the ground. In the bible it's often contradictory. And in the earliest books of the NT, none of the sayings of Jesus or miracles are mentioned. The gospels and acts were written about 30-50 years after the supposed events, which considering how long people lived on average back then, was an awful long time.

  • ANGRY CLOUD FACE!!!! ah god, the invisible giant you turn to when you die...

  • @HeyDuffy459 That was back in Old Testament. That had some intense stuff in it - He was far more physical, whereas He's now more spiritual.

    That being said - divers have found the wheels from chariots at the bottom of the Red Sea, as well as human bones.

    Not 100% proof, but if it doesn't get in your head, you've a hardened heart. Either way, I'll be praying for ya.

    Thank you for being a very polite and courteous person. Too many haters, on both sides.
