 All right guys, welcome back to the channel if you're new man with Bobby guys since and rotate reverted You've been asking me to do a reaction video to him I didn't do it right away because guess what he just reverted to Islam and I said congratulations Now he has to start his life as a Muslim since then a lot of things happened Of course, he went to jail and there he was able to read the Quran every day and like that I'm certain he was able to strengthen his faith his iman in Islam even more so Therefore now it is interesting to hear what he has to say about Islam and why he became a Muslim on the absolutely viral Exclusive interview by Patrick bet David from value tamant if this is the first time for you seeing my face I myself come from an orthodox Christian background and I reverted to Islam justice and rotate here Therefore it is of course very interesting for me to hear why he left Christianity why he became a Muslim with no further do guys Let's have a look. What's been your evolution of your fate and where are you at today? Yeah? I think Newton's I think it's third law equal and opposite force what you just said there is absolutely true there has been equal and opposite force to all the evil in the world and That the equal and opposite force to all that evil has to be God and I've talked about this at length even with atheists And I try and say that Regardless of whether you're an atheist or not You're thinking of God as a man in the sky, but you need to think of God as a concept as a whole and once you do that It's impossible to accept that he doesn't exist right couple of things don't pack here He speaks of God as the opposite force to the devil. I would say that good is the opposite force to evil He's absolutely accurate here. However, if we're thinking about God We're thinking about it being that is absolutely transcendent of all He is the creator of all things and therefore he is the creator of the devil as well Therefore if we see evil in the world and we see goodness in the world, of course, those are manifestations Those are contrasts. This is the battle between good and evil However, we have to realize as believers that nobody is as powerful as God is because God is the creator So there for the devil is not in direct competition to God. He's not a direct adversary to God He's an adversary to us in comparison to God He is absolutely nobody and then he mentioned God as a concept and not a man in the sky I believe that Christianity did a lot of damage here with the trinity and with the understanding of God the father God the son, etc. etc. because like that you anthropomorphize God and yes in the end the atheist says I don't believe in a sky daddy, but thank God in Islam. We do not have that concept in Islam God is all transcendent. He is the creator of all things. He is indeed the necessary Being he is the necessary being for there to be the first course. I said to the atheists I said, let's say there was two islands your shipwrecked, right? And there's two islands both of them are full of savages on wine one island You're even your friend or shipwrecked on one island your friend goes and he crashes and they kill him and they And you go to another island and they want to kill you and eat you but they don't because it's against their religion Did God save your life? Who cares who doesn't know the name of their God, but their God said don't kill shipwrecked survivors And now you're alive. So their God saved your life the concept of God in and of itself saved your life You owe God just for the concept of it the idea of it. So again, I absolutely understand what he means here And I see the value in speaking about concepts Especially in this day and age where you have many atheists and he being an ex atheist himself He understands how to talk to the people However, what he is describing here is utilitarianism. He's speaking about what would benefit a society and therefore No matter if God is real or not as long as we believe in a God We all benefit through that and this is yet again something that Jordan Peterson has discussed in the past If you ask a Jordan Peterson, he cannot tell you if he really believes in God Yes, or no, he can only tell you about the benefits of believing in God. What do you mean do? What do you mean you what do you mean believe and what do you mean God? But if we look at John Peterson, and I do not mean to mock the man here at all He is severely depressed. So something is not in alignment with that worldview And I would say that no matter how utilitarian your worldview is if you do not really believe that there is a God You will suffer you will be depressed in fact We find this promise in the Quran and whoever turns away from my remembrance indeed He will have a depressed life and that's basically what it boils down to because yes We do have a better outcome if people believe in God however for this to be sustainable We need to cultivate a true belief in God We cannot just pretend to believe in God and then say are because of our value system Society is progressing this wouldn't be much different than communism if you look at China for example Their society is progressing and yes, they're fighting degeneracy actively as well However, they are a godless society. They are communists and they obey the rules They're playing by the rules and therefore they have a progressive society. It works on the surface level But within a religious mind we of course thinking about the afterlife as well We're not thinking only about this creation only about this dunya Of course, we're trying our very best to make this existence as productive as fertile as we can But the real focus has to be the afterlife and we are missing that point if we see God only as a concept The idea of opposing evil as a whole is a belief in God So you're either an evil person or you believe in God in some regard and then you believe in good I became once I understood that there has been equal and opposite force. I was raised Christian I live in a Christian nation. The Romania is actually I think the second or third most Christian country on earth It's very Christian country here. It's churches everywhere. They strongly believe and that's where I began my journey But I always had a very healthy respect for Islam because I understand that to a degree to have a religion at all You have to have an intolerance to a degree 100% Because without an intolerance you don't have rules. You don't have laws You don't have any like you said you have to earn God's respect Coming from an Orthodox Christian background and then reverting to Islam myself I have to absolutely agree here. We have to be intolerant but guess what not only as religious people but as people in general and Everybody is intolerant even the oh so tolerant leftist is Absolutely intolerant if you do not agree with their agenda you become a bigot So therefore they are discriminating against you think about it An outrageous example here if you talk to a leftist and you ask them is everybody included in your ideology They will tell you yes, of course come on over but if you ask them how about Nazis how about right-wing extremists Quote-unquote are Nazis welcome in this safe place as well Of course, they will get outraged and tell you no because yet again you are a bigot So therefore there is no real inclusion in any type of ideology even in the perceived Oh, so nice social justice movements are of course extremely intolerant and if we bring it back to religion Of course, we have to be intolerant as well because what is a religion a religion is a belief system a belief system of Values that you hold dearly So if your religion tells you that homosexuality is not permitted then you cannot be tolerant of Homosexuality you have to hold on to the rope of your religion so to speak and defend that value Just as the LGBT people defend their ideology is exactly the same and they're both intolerant They're competing ideas ultimately and you can only test a competing idea by defending it And if you can defend it properly then you win and guess what you win you win the future of your children Do you understand if leftist ideologies win? Then your children might believe that they are girls or boys or something in between if Islam wins your children will believe that there is one God worthy of worship This is the value behind it if you're a religion which is tolerant of everything then you don't have to earn God's respect You can be a bad person and do bad things God loves me. So it's fine. Well, no, it's not That's not the point of the religion So then you extrapolate that out and I'll sit in and thinking what's the primary function of a religion and the primary function I have to cut it off one more time because he said that's not the primary focus of religion However, I have to disagree here because within Christianity Unfortunately, it is the primary focus of the religion It is about forgiveness that God forgives you your sins through his son Sacrificing himself for you. This is the doctrine of Christianity The doctrine of Christianity tells you that your sins are forgiven because Jesus died on the cross for you for me This was extremely Irresponsible and I have to say that I have nothing but love for my Christian brothers and sisters But nevertheless, I understood as a man that I have to take full Responsibility I look back on my life and I realize that all the sins that I have committed I have committed and nobody can change it. Nobody can take that away from me But I myself have to stand up for my dignity. I have to repent in front of God I have to understand where it went wrong. It was my fault. I submit to God I repent to God. Please God forgive me only this mindset can purify your heart if I believe that Jesus died for my sins What is stopping me? I can go out. I can drink alcohol. I can commit Zinnah fornication Who cares? I'm not afraid of God because hey, God killed himself He killed his son for me. My sins are washed away through the blood of Jesus Christ That is the doctrine of Christianity and this is why it is so problematic And I believe that this is why we see the West falling Religion I don't believe is the religion exists so I can live forever. I mean, that's it That's a nice thought But I think on a macro level the primary objective of a religion we do store and contain some degree of traditional Value within the site. How do you judge? We change the utilitarianism again? How do you judge the success of a religion? I don't think you can judge it by the number of people who join it because there's lots of people who are Catholic and don't act Catholic They don't act in any way particularly Christian anyone can say there's something you can walk into a strip club And everyone says Christian Christian doesn't mean anything, right? Thank you So how do you judge the successful religion? Well, I like to think the best way to judge the successful religion is how successful is it? Fighting evil. How successful is it at preserving the morality of a population in X parameter in X? Geographical it's a good productive pragmatic way of looking at it I do understand why he would take this approach because he simply looks at the evidence He looks at what works and what doesn't I get it That makes sense when you look at it from that way you can't say that Islam isn't the most successful religion on earth It's the most successful in regards to opposing evil It's the most successful in regards to opposing its differing viewpoints It's the most successful in regards to having people act within the limits and the confines of what it finds to be moral and good to God It's the most adhered to it's the most feared. It's the most respected in most forms And then also I'd like to think I would say it's the most fear. Yeah, it's the most feared, but what is respect without fear? Dude, do we respect men? We don't fear There's a man who could do absolutely nothing to you on any level at all You might be nice to him sure because we're not bad people But would you really respect it if you could take his chick in front of his face? Save car on fire and he wouldn't do a thing you wouldn't respect it You might be nice to him because we're not bullies, but you wouldn't respect it respect and fear are linked But not always the same thing and you can you can maybe have fear without respect But it's very hard to have respect about fear. He's pointing out something extremely important here The fear aspect and the fear aspect is of course frowned upon nowadays society has become very weak and very detached from nature as well You see for example anti bullying laws everywhere guys don't get me wrong Of course nowadays everything goes to extremes even the bullying however bullying in its natural state is a normal mechanism of Selection this how boys understand who is on top of the hierarchy who is the alpha male even from childhood out on It is completely natural, but society nowadays tries to destroy everything of course when you see sports nowadays Hey children, there is no winner anymore. Everybody wins no second places, but that is not real That is not true Just as it's not real that a man is a woman just because he puts on a woman's dress No, he's not a woman, but society goes along with it. Yes Yes, you go Queen and because society goes along with all of this stuff and becomes weaker and weaker and says yes And amen to everything. This is why they have a negative connotation when it comes to fear as well But he is absolutely accurate here fear and respect go hand-in-hand and Ultimately every society is built like that if you look at the United States for example You have a legal and justice system So you have to have some sort of fear of that legal and justice system to not commit any type of atrocities Of course, it is not bulletproof and therefore we see that people do not fear it enough However, try the same thing in Saudi Arabia. It's not gonna work because people fear the system So yet again, I understand people nowadays don't want to accept that I don't want to live in fear But the reality is you have to have a natural fear of something even a wife That is loving her husband has a natural fear of her husband because usually generally speaking naturally speaking The husband is stronger than the woman and he is her protector. So on some deep level She's actually afraid of him. She has a natural healthy fear for her husband that in turn is her protector That is good a normal human being that is not fallen has the fear of God instilled in his heart as well That is natural state and Islam is the only religion that has this fear of God still intact within it And therefore is able to defend it and by that standard It leads to fear in the hearts of the disbelievers and that is a good thing I would say because it leads to confrontation and it leads to respect because people try to attack the ideology But they see they cannot like this Islam is establishing a firm ground that cannot be shaken and like this Islam Establishers that it's here to stay but also I heard someone say once that we see the world as we see ourselves If you're a thief you think everyone's thief if you're a liar you think it was a liar and I kind of agree with that I understood that I Also like to think we see religion as we see ourselves. I like to see myself as a person who's respect you have to earn I like to see myself as a person who has strong rigid boundaries I like to see myself as a person who will stand up and say no that's wrong I like to see myself as a person who's not afraid of being shamed by whatever community for saying I don't agree with that particular ideal. I like seeing myself that way So if I'm gonna see myself that way then I'm gonna naturally align with a religion that operates within that form So when I say Islam is the last religion on earth, I say I have to add here and disclaimer I'm not an Islamic scholar that Islamically speaking. We talk about the fitra the fitra is the natural predisposition of men and therefore when we return to that when we return to God when we Return to our natural state as human beings. We Automatically line up with Islam and therefore the attributes that and rotate listed here as his own He's attributes that align with Islam I will go one step further and say that by him returning to his natural state He is in alignment with those God-given natural attributes. There is a right and a wrong remember So that means there is a right way of being a man as well And I believe of course as a Muslim speaking that the closer we get to God the closer we get to Islam The more we become the man that we should become under God because it seems to be the only one who will stand up and say no We don't care. No That's not what the book says. No, I Was raised Christian and and Muslims as a whole we have no problems with Christians none at all I don't want anyone to think I'm anti-Christian like I dislike Christians. We don't have problems Christians We believe in a lot of the same things. We believe in Jesus We put more respect on the name of Jesus than most Christians do I just don't like the idea of people saying they're a Christian and saying but because I'm a Christian I can do whatever I want and throw all the rules away None of it matters because once you have that level of tolerance you no longer have a religion again I don't want to go into too long tangent here But as I said already many Christians take the position that Jesus died for their sins and therefore the old law has been Overturned we don't have to go back into the Old Testament. We don't have to listen to those old laws We can do what we want. Essentially. We are saved by grace Islam seems to be left in life with parameters. We don't parameters You don't religion at all So the closer I found myself to God the closer I saw I found myself to Islam. That's just how it ended All right, this is it for this video in the end. Of course, I have to say belated welcome to Islam brother Andrew I believe that he's doing a fantastic job coming from the background that he comes from he of course has a huge audience That resonates with his lifestyle resonates with his speech resonates with his perspective and resonates with his path as a man Being born as a Christian becoming an atheist Ultimately losing faith then trying to get back to God through Christianity and ultimately finding God within Islam and I would say that he is of course not the first one to discover exactly that many people Myself included wanted to return to Christianity because they wanted to return to God I was never an atheist myself, but I dabbled in the new age drug culture and what not I want to get back to God and the only way for me was orthodox Christianity because I was born a Christian after all So there's the only option I guess but ultimately my yearning for God was not satisfied in Christianity Because in Christianity as I said throughout the video my sins were just forgiven and I do understand that some people Resonate with that. They simply want to be forgiven. They simply want to move on But move on to what you're gonna move on and do the exact same mistakes over and over again Because there is no real consequence, but in life. There's always a consequence Everybody knows that anybody that left their house once in their life will understand that there is a consequence To anything you do in life you have to look to the left look to the right so you don't get run over by a truck Everything you do has a consequence the education that you get in school or aside from that The interactions with people that you have the way that you think of yourself if you work out or not all of those parameters all of those actions have Consequences if you cheat on your wife that has a consequence as well You have to calculate everything and you have to be held accountable And this is what it boils down to if you want to be a man in this world You have to be held accountable if your religion doesn't hold you accountable Nothing will all right guys and this is it for today's video If you liked it leave the thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys Please do so and if you want to support this channel by patreon for example all the links are in the description box below Thank you so much for your support guys and as always make God bless you all much love and peace you
