Angry atheist RANT

I've been turning into an "angry atheist".
I used to pride myself on taking the higher ground, trying to educate others or encourage them to question their beliefs. Lately though, I think I've reached my fill. I'm sick of it.

I need to rant. I hope my christian subscribers can excuse my trollish behavior... but I need to try and get this off my chest. All it's been doing has been festering in my brain. I think Christianity is evil and horrific. It glorifies human sacrifice and it deeply bothers me that other people don't see that.

I am a Christian, and I respect this video. You made a good point imrational, a very good point. I won't lie, I haven't considered this aspect before. However, the thought keeps coming into my mind - "Jesus is God's Son, but more importantly He is God. Is it wrong for God to sacrifice Himself? After all, He is God and He makes the rules. He chose to redeem humanity in Himself for reasons only He knows, and I also believe because He knew that no one else could fulfill that role. No one except He

@coaldiamond1

I think you miss my point. Not about God making a sacrifice for us, but rather that the god DEMANDED a sacrifice be made and could not forgive without blood being spilt. The demand for the spilling of blood is what I have a problem with. Paying off a debt is entirely different than forgiving one. If the god "wrote the rules" then he could simply nullify the need for sacrifice. Forgiveness nevers enters into it.

You can't earn forgiveness. We don't deserve it. You think we all deserve forgiveness. We don't deserve any part of that.

Why do Bad things happen to Good people?

There is only One Good person that walked the earth. His name was Jesus.

We are all Bad people. The only thing that makes us good in Gods eyes is the death for our sins.

@slickone67

I forgive you.

Once you tell someone about Jesus your work is done. It is up to them to decide whether they want to believe. Then when Jesus comes they cannot claim they never heard the Truth of Jesus.

@slickone67 ,

It would really suck if the person that told you about Jesus did a shitty job.

If you're going to sacrifice someone to appease an angry God.. you probably shouldn't pick the God's son.. he's probably not going to be any less angry!

The only reason that every religion was made is to either extort money or to explain what happens after death and for obvious reasons we will never know until we are dead and thus sadly all religion will remain on this world made of science

all hail noone hahaha fuck religion

[BMXplease11]

i know exactly what youre fucking talking about

You are right. It is through our sins that WE crucify Jesus. The main people involved are us, the Sanhedrin, and Pontius Pilate. God sends Jesus because people have the wrong idea about salvation. They thought that the rich were being rewarded for following the Law, when in actuality, they were the ones sinning. Jesus came to change the beliefs of the poor people, and the people who were wrong in thinking these things. Catholicism makes so much more sense when you learn about history.

Jesus was identifying himself with the Paschal Lamb, the Lamb that was sacrificed on Passover to save the Jews from slavery. Through Jesus death, he tells us to "drink his blood" so that the Jews would understand the reference and know that Jesus came to free them from the slavery of sin, not the Roman Empire.

@imrational We are judged by our actions and intentions. If you kill someone for the good of your God, you will go to heaven, as you have not been educated that the act you've committed is wrong. I feel that most atheists who converted from Christianity either weren't Catholic, or never learned about Theology. Oh and by the way I really like your videos, even though I am Catholic. I hope you find that Catholics are different than Christians and I will be uploading videos about that soon

@slickone67 We don;t deserve forgiveness, but Jesus gave it to us anyway. The fact that Jesus suffered and didn't deserve it is the opposite of sin and was enough to destroy sin. Now all that's left for us is to accept God through our actions. Jesus has already won the battle against Satan.
