Magical thinking in math class: "I think the chances of there being an afterlife are better than 1 in 74 million. In fact, it's 50-50. Either you're wrong, or I'm wrong. That's 50-50. I got a much better chance of there bein' an after life."

I guess I've either won the lottery, or not won the lottery, so my chances of winning are 50-50. I'm running to the store right now and buying 4 tickets for $4, making the likelihood that I win 200%! I'm a millionaire guaranteed!

No true Scotsman argument.

@tbennett450 Indeed. It never fails to amaze me that people don't understand that they CANNOT put probabilities on unknowns.

Another illustration I used was telling a theist that I just flipped one million coins, but I will not tell them what kind of coins. Then I asked them what the likelihood is that only ONE coin lands with Lincoln's face up. And THEN they become reluctant to put numbers on unknowns. Why? I don't know. They have no problem putting numbers on other unknowns.

@greyeyed123 They used that clip at the end of another video I watched a few minutes ago and I made the exact same point!

@ChaoticRupture And thats only if you assume that any of the existing religions are correct in the first place. It is possible (hypothetically) that the "one true religion" has no adherents at all, and that hell awaits all those who fail to discover it.

[ChaoticRupture]

there are 4000+ confirmed religions, you have a 0.025% chance of scoring big time with your religion,the other 99.975% percent are spending eternity togheter in hell.

I am a Christian, and I believe it possible that the FF were deists. They were Masons shipped from the European empire. Westward expansion started from Europe, they just let America pretend they were in charge. The Roman Empire became the European Empire, the European Empire with geographical control set up systems of mind control, and now the modern day UN will become the New World Order. This is just personal exegesis based on scripture and speculation of course though!

2:22 - "...what?"

2:23 - "What?"

Me - "wat"

@xXxSiLEncErXx Yep if you'll take look at the Scriptures I listed, none of them mentions hating people, they say to hate evil, the right kind of intorerance so when the wicked calls me intolerant I proudly agree and say "That's right, yes I am!" Their complaints is really a grand deception. Don't let them con you.

[DaToNyOyO]

@xXxSiLEncErXx Well, they are certainly spelt differently.

[werebee]

@xXxSiLEncErXx What the hell do you mean by intolerant? It's hard to be intolerant of 75 percent of the population. Most of what you perceive as intolerance is merely people standing up for their own rights.

[rossmetacraft]

@JuanchoMan Not really hypocritical, since the caller said quite distinctly that Christianity is religion of intolerance. He hung up because he couldn't tolerate losing the debate. :)
