@bedajo28 Dawkins is saying there is chance and suffering in this universe and they do not follow some anthropomorphic sense of justice that we are familiar with in our societies. You would expect the opposite if an omnipotent, benevolent deity was taking care of everything. "at bottom" is the qualifier you're missing, he's not saying those things don't exist, he's saying they are not inherent in the universe, but rather constructs of human society.

@bedajo28 I care because, if this video had 2,000 dislikes people might think twice about accepting the bullshit contained within. Beliefs inform actions and even if one person's false beliefs do not cause them to do harm, they may be wasting potential and spreading those false beliefs to others who could be much more dangerous with them. I'd be happy to give you a detailed explanation of what "wrong" means to me, but we maybe able to get there quicker if u tell me what it means to you first.

@bedajo28 "In a universe of blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, and other people are going to get lucky; and you won't find any rhyme or reason to it, nor any justice. The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good. Nothing but blind pitiless indifference. DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is, and we dance to its music."

@kyebean I did not say that is what I believe and you are right I do not believe it. However, my point was what difference does it make to you, given your worldview if that is the purpose of disabling the ratings?  Why should it bother you? Why should corporations bother you, or the government, or anyone else for that matter when they do anything that is supposedly "wrong"?

[kyebean]

@bedajo28 you don't think it means anything that your best chance of "making sure you get your point across and increasing probability of survival" is to limit feedback and communication among consumers? This is so obvious, I feel sorry for you that u don't get it. Corporations have been doing this forever to cover up flaws in their products. Good products benefit from more communication among users, bad products suffer. This producer is consistently, intentionally limiting communication.

@kyebean As funhistory said Christianity is not a popularity contest so it doesn't matter if it is popular or not as long as the truth is proclaimed (or propoganda as you say it is). However, what difference does it make to you if that is the reason why they disabled the ratings or not. It is just survival of the fittest on youtube. Making sure you get your point across and increasing the probability of survival and reproduction in your community/world.

Thanks for putting up all these Bahnsen videos.

@SecretTacoNinja I would say you are suppressing the truth. You say there is no evidence because the alternative is to say the evidence is there and the proble is YOU. Pretty simple

[AuxentiusZ]

It's interesting that atheists, agnostics, and others fling insults and ask why ratings are disabled. From this forum alone, one can note the truth in this series, namely that the people of God and the people of the devil are inherently enemies.

That's correct. God is everywhere, and at all times revealing Himself. You deny this because you want to do things your own way. But, as Bahnsen says, there is day coming when God will judge all people according to their works. Proceed with your rebellion at your own risk. Or, if you want to live, freely turn to Him in sincere repentance and faith in the Lord Christ Jesus.
