lol. That cracked me up. I haven’t seen it yet anyway. But he just made it to the point where he said New Yorkers are the smartest so I’m already objecting. I’ve seen too many videos of interviews asking random questions that are pretty common knowledge there.
@@notabomb3120 I figured so because of it being a stereotype of the U.S. usually. And I know people aren’t that dumb where I live, which he said later in the video is a dumb and uneducated area. Which I naturally disagree with, although there are lots of areas in the state like that.
Video idea: Record yourself going to a church service for each denomination over the course of a few months and give your opinion of them. Preferably with one of the church’s members so you don’t get completely lost, especially if you visit a Catholic Church. Us Catholics have a lot of rules.
That would make for an interesting video, but I'm not sure that Zoomer would have enough time for that given his stance on the importance of attending church as much as you possibly can at your own denomination's church, which would mean that he would have to either go to multiple services in a day or do something like an alternating schedule
@@EliB207 No. As someone who lives on neither and spent time in both, the west coast is S S I G N I F I C A N T L Y better than the east coast. I cannot stress that enough. I would rather live in an unstable nation than on the east coast of the US.
I’ve bee to NYC, despite it being dirty, it had some of the lowest crime rates per capita for American cities when I visited. It was also just exciting.
I hate that the South is as uneducated as it is. Not everyone down here is, there's certainly some brilliance within our midst, but I must relent that there's a serious education problem. That being said, I wouldn't say that being uneducated leads people to being conservative any more than it leads people to being liberal. I feel the south simply resists liberal views pretty heavily, and that tradition is far more important in the south than it is in the north, and so liberals mostly gave up on spreading liberalism in the south and focused their efforts on a more receptive population. But hey, I am not a psychologist or cultural anthropologist, so take my interpretation with a grain of salt.
The south hates "education" because it historically has a relationship with elitism. Population gets educated, lords it over everyone else, but then misses common sense competencies left and right. Tale as old as time.
@Pomni740 bro you have to get a life. Hopefully a life following Christ but at the least you gotta quit stalking RU-vid channels to be troll in the comments section.
Being “educated” is not a good metric of anything. Most people mean graduating college when they say that but I can easily argue that college is a waste of time and money for many people. In fact in the tech industry many hiring managers will turn you down if you have post graduate degrees because that means your practical skills are less developed than someone that’s been in the field. I’m from the south and sure the college graduation rates are less and we make less than the national average but the cost of living is low and the average person is very intelligent and self sufficient
RZ, sorry bro but as a lifelong resident of Louisiana, I gotta correct you. We don't just have voodoo, we have a strong Catholic history dating back to our Spanish and French heritage and a strong Protestant Baptist history. We also have the New Orleans Baptist Seminary which is a conservative Baptist seminary, the best food in the US, most interesting state government history, and one of the most important cities in US history in New Orleans. Sorry bro, but LA is highly underrated here.
My middle school religion teacher was from Mobile, which I imagine as New Orleans’s quieter, older sister. So I can sort of confirm the Catholic history.
As someone who’s from the south I have to say the reason he gave for the south being more conservative is completely incorrect. Here even Gen Z is right wing compared to places like New York.
I live in California and they just passed a law where it's illegal to throw leftover food in the trash to somehow stop global warming... please please give it an F.
Sad to see All of Oregon reduced to Crackheads. But honestly the F tier is fair. Eastern Oregon is Basically Idaho, and Western Oregon is Basically California without the good churches.
Nonsense we have the faithful in the West we're just outnumbered. Oregon is I've of the more beautiful states in the union but has negative cultural value
For whatever reason I always assumed Oregon was a lot further away from Cali than it is. I’ve heard rumors that many of the Catholic schools for priest are full. With all the folks watching videos and looking into History, religion and philosophy it was only a matter of time before they stumbled across a Catholic Church. If anything it still makes me happy to see people convert and praise the Lord. Not everyone is given the opportunity to read a Bible. Not all of these bibles and translations are good and true. But you really can, find a mansion, every Sunday, to worship with others. I guess for me , all souls belong to the Lord. And rebellion, is very sad and to be honest it is hard to tell between the fearful, doubtful and plain o’l baddies.
Nah, Portland is F tier. The amount of culture and history and nature in Oregon is worth a lot, and there are plenty of good churches! In the West, anyway. All the small towns in the Willamette Valley are quite conservative, and I live in a triad of three small cities that have something like 45 churches combined (we attend an Orthodox church that's out if town, but there are options.) Oregon does NOT deserve the slander.
Utah is so much more than just "Mormons". Mormons actually make up a minority in the state now and we have some incredible nature from north to south, not to mention some of the highest quality of life in the nation, good jobs, great universities (ignore BYU), and growing religious diversity. Utah gets at the very least a B, if not an A.
@@andrewpritt8739 Probably citing prominent RU-vid atheists like Jimmy Snow, who make it a point to deny the existence of any person in the bible, including not just Jesus, but Abraham and Moses as well.
California getting rated higher than Oregon is a slap in the face. When the reason is conservative churches, I can guarantee that Oregon has more theologically sound churches than California. Hehe funny east coast man never went to west coast
Also, I agree that Chicago is a cleaner version of New York City. And it's also better organized, probably because it was practically rebuilt when planning good cities was popular. Also, by Daley Plaza there is a literal skyscraper Methodist church that Operation Reconquista posted about a while back...
Man, I'm coming to love all forms of your videos. Man, I'd love to ask you some questions that I just keep contending with myself. God Bless you, dude.
@@redeemedzoomer6053 Hey as a born and raised Mormon who enjoys your videos and takes on theology that isn’t LDS I have one question: Why do you have a dislike for Mormons? I know that everything is weird about it such as the belief of a living prophet which contradicts what Jesus says and how we technically practice heresies but we believe in Christ as the son of God who died upon the cross for our sins and then resurrected 3 days later, we build magnificent temples in the name of God (although Masonic you have to admit they are beautiful), and we refuse to change our ways in the current world (Example: We don’t allow politics to rule everything in our everyday lives or beliefs). It’s mainly just a genuine question stemming from your statement of all Christians being unified as a part of the Kingdom of God in a previous video from this week talking about Non-Denominational churches and I don’t really expect feedback from you or anything but I would appreciate it if you told me your views about it. Have a blessed day or night🕊️
@@TheEmbodimentOfSorrow Hey man, I don't want to speak on behalf of RZ, but I'm assuming he is as concerned with LDS as myself and practically all doctrinally sound Christians. I'm not sure about yourself, but LDS theology has God as being a man who ascended to the god-head, rather than being the Eternal Creator that He actually is. Additionally, having Jesus as God's literal created offspring and brother of Satan is a disgusting doctrine. LDS rejects orthodox understanding of the Trinity, of who God is. They as well believe that faithful Mormons will ascend to their own god-head in heaven, getting their own planets like God. Absolutely falling for the first lie Satan said, "that you will be like God". Christians who confess Jesus as YHWH, the eternal God and Creator, cannot stand in union with Mormons, who deny Jesus as the eternal God. Once again, I don't know if you hold to (or even understand) the depths of heretical teachings of LDS, but if you do, you worship a different god. Just like Islam who claims to worship the same abrahamic god, but rejects Jesus as Lord. There isn't compatibility. Does that make sense? I truly hope and pray that you are led out of LDS and see Christ as the One True God. Beautiful structures and nice people don't mean anything when the Eternal God is denied. God bless you man.
@@gagestorto5305 Yeah I personally don’t agree with most things that Joseph Smith implemented into the Mormon Theology. It’s weird for Mormons to think that Lucifer and Jesus were siblings. I also don’t really agree with them on the Godhood status that we’re fed to believe since childhood since that contradicts Christ’s statement about being “The Alpha and the Omega…” What’s weird is that I was taught by Mormons that Christ is the Eternal God but I won’t disagree with a thing since you appear to have obviously studied the theology created by Joseph Smith in depth and I harbor no problems with your views and I typically do question the LDS church’s teachings. I am aware of a few heresies such as the belief that we shall become gods which means that Christianity doesn’t have one singular God but instead it’s polytheistic which contradicts everything the Bible says about God. Anyways thank you for sparing some time to message me. I am grateful to have received a neutral view on Mormons and I hope you have a blessed day or night🕊️
@@TheEmbodimentOfSorrow I also don't speak on behalf of RZ. I will point out that LDS scripture revealed in the 1830s takes a very distinctively Nicene-Trinitarian approach to the Trinity; see 2 Nephi 31:21 in the BOM and D&C 20:28 revealed in 1830. They also affirm the eternality of God. This is not to mention the mountains of evidence found in the still LDS-approved KJV Bible. I have a friend who is an LDS Church member and an priesthood holder, who explained to me that these scriptures are reconcilable with the three separate gods position (since God is united in purpose) and exaltation (since they are eternal in the minds of their spirit children), but I am doubtful. He has lost some of his faith and succumbed to his same-sex attraction lately. Some LDS Doctrines, like baptism of the dead that they justify biblically with 1 Corinthians 15:29 and with post-restoration revelations, were likely heretical or pagan practices during biblical times: www.bibleref.com/1-Corinthians/15/1-Corinthians-15-29.html I consider the Community of Christ to be much closer to "mainstream" Christianity, although I am not onboard with their doctrines on salvation and other issues.
Iowa actually is a great place to live. Des Moines (the city) has a full downtown and suburban towns. I lived in a big city for quite some time and the only thing that separates a big city to a smaller city is the quantity of strip clubs, bars, restaurants and traffic.
@@Pomni740 lm sorry that you believe that have you looked into the evidence? There is more evidence and documentation of Jesus Christ than evidence that Abraham Lincoln exists yet you don’t doubt he exists
I usually detect a bit of an accent in your other videos, but as soon as you started talking about New York it was a whole different level. Also, you should come out to Montana. There are some beautiful churches actually. It really shows that when the west was being settled, almost all the buildings were new architecture and purely practical, but they did really put some pride into their places of worship. It’s nice to see a nice original stone church around a bunch of old west buildings.
Bro gave NEW JERSEY an S. this has to be an opposite day post. New Jersey is the only state that rivals Illinois in being the worst. Like, it's one of those two, there is not another contender for worst state.
As a Tennessean, I wouldn’t say that Tennessee deserves S, but it at least deserves A. I mean, our nature here is beautiful, we have mountains, rivers, wild life and flowers, we get all fours seasons but don’t have any severe wether, we have a lot of nice churches, the state is more conservative as a whole, and the list goes on. Plus, we were voted the state with the second nicest people, number one being Minnesota. On second thought, though, we do have Memphis, so throw the whole state away at that point. 😂
@@Pomni740 Apples don’t exist. George Washington never existed. If I keep saying it over and over in the comments it means I’m right and it makes it true. I’m a enlightened Reddit genius just like you *tips fedora*
As a texan i didn't expect the a-tier and i tought you we're going to put it in b or c-tier(or worse) God bless you brother in Christ and may you have an exalent day!
This video was hilarious! I am more of a southern patriot, despite having been born in New York lol. Also, I like nature and more rural areas more than cities. I am a big fan of upper New England, Vermont, and Maine are both amazing! You’re more of a city guy than me I think.
As someone from the Carolina's, I can confirm that we are B tier AT MOST. LOVE ur videos Redeemed Zoomer, keep doing the great work man because you always make my day better, besides Jesus Christ.
12:55 "I mean academically credible Christian colleges...Wheaton doesn't really count" Bruh they're ranked #56 in the country by U.S. News. Absolute slander.
Nice to see my homestate, NJ, in S tier. I agree totally underrated. With NJ you get a nice package deal of North Jersey and South Jersey too (us south jersians love to point this out) The food and yes even the pizza is great here too even in South Jersey as we have a ton of former Philly italians that migrated over to south jersey. Our bagels are good too as cherry hill nj is packed to the brim with jews
Being rated "F" by a Jewish Protestant is a badge of honor, and I'm not even Mormon. Gotta say though, he hasn't seen their temples; the designs may be Masonic but, they are magnificent. I've been to every open house they've had in my lifetime and I intend to see the inside of the Salt Lake Temple before it's reconsecrated. It took an agrarian community besieged by desert and savage 40 years to mine, cut, transport, sculpt, and assemble the granite and marble used in that structure and the dedication shows. Unlike most protestants, the Mormons actually have decent sacred spaces (their regular churches minus the tabernacles don't count; they're multi-use for sh|t like church ball and etiquette dinners). Overall, their detail and scale are only matched by some high protestant denominations, the Catholics, and Orthodoxy and its rich in symbolism.
@@Pomni740 Anything's possible, I guess; I don't really know. I never really studied theology, and I don't really believe in God. All I know is that the Mormons are nice people with a unified community and a superb sense of temple architecture. What is it you want me to say, clown?
@@Pomni740 Sure, anything's possible; I don't really know. You'd have to ask a Christian apologist or Middle Eastern anthropologist about that; I just think their temples are cool. What is it you want me to say, little jester?
@@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq. Hey thanks man. I’m a born and raised Mormon and I want to thank you for not bashing us. I have always been amazed by the architecture of our temples even when compared to Catholic and Protestant temples ours still stand out as beautiful works of art. I honestly don’t agree with the F tier done by Redeemed Zoomer and would at least prefer the C tier because of the video he posted about Non-Denominational’s and how all Christians (Those who believe Jesus to be be God) should Unify and then saying Mormons aren’t Christians even though we do believe the words of the Bible to be the word of God. Anyways I’ll spare you a lecture on Mormon theology since we’re apparently worthless Christians that sin every nanosecond of our lives. Have a blessed day or night (Idk where you’re from).
@@TheEmbodimentOfSorrow No problem, Mormons have their faults, too, but I find them far more tolerable than most. I'm from Sandy and reside in Salt Lake C[esspool].
"I just wanted to ramble for 20 minutes" Yep. Some of the logic you used would be logic I would use in this type of ranking. Definitely rambling. Intertaining none the less.
For placing at least some importance on beautiful church architecture, you have to put Utah higher, even if you disagree with their beliefs. Have you seen any of the temples there?
@@nickharmon2157 Last I checked, the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints is a religious group that believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that he came to Earth and died for our sins, and that he was resurrected and defeated death. We also believe that the Old and New Testament are the recorded words of God through his prophets. That is, in my opinion, about as Christian as it gets.
@@nickharmon2157Not necessarily. The Trinity (to my knowledge) is only explicitly set up at the Council of Nicea, meaning that we have no proof that any Christian beforehand was actually Christian according to your definition. If the Trinity is such an integral part of Christianity, it would probably be mentioned more or explained better. (Again, i could be wrong)
@@vashmatrix5769yeah it’s actually pretty based here, low prices and conservative churches on every corner. Not to mention the we have a boot in the bottom right
Thanks for the shout out to Ohio! I feel so lucky living here. It seems so much more sane in people and policy (and house prices), relatively speaking, than what I hear about elsewhere. Also no real hurricane, wildfire or earthquake threat, just tornados.
RZ: (gives Louisiana D tier) Me, a lifelong Louisianian: Fair enough. RZ: (does not give Mississippi the F tier that it sorely deserves) Me, a lifelong Mississippi hater: So, you have chosen death. But in all seriousness, Louisiana is in fact very lousy. But it's at least better than Mississippi. We have WAY better food. (Also, you rank us down for the voodoo but don't rank Alabama down for the cousin marriages? Smh, I never thought I'd see the day when RZ would promote cousin marriages. For shame.)
As a former Upstate New Yorker I'm going to recommend you visit Wyoming. You probably wouldn't love it due to the rough and tough cowboy feel but the people are good hearted and you could break down anywhere and someone is going to stop and help you out. It might be a week before someone drives by but they'd definitely stop and help you out.
As a West Virginian, thank you for giving us a S! Also we didn't have a lot of lockdown restrictions because our governor Jim Justice kinda slow-walked the pandemic recovery process whereas governors like Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo were a lot more proactive with COVID-19 than WV Governor Justice was. Almost Heaven West Virginia! Country roads take me home to the place I belong: West Virginia Mountain Mama! Take me home country roads! 💛💙
Mississippi citizen raised in Oregon. Happy to take the C tier as long as Oregon bleeds F tier. I agree that the elite institutions are important and should be fought for BUT I also feel strongly we should build up and improve the poorer states that are filled with strong Godly men and women. Love your stuff Zoomer!
When you go to tennessee, consider reaching out to Long Hollow Baptist. They’re about 40 minutes Northeast of Nashville, they’re growing super fast, and they’re even doing a year-long sermon series on Revelation. The current head pastor is incredibly based, incredibly good at preaching, and his testimony is one of greatest comeback stories I’ve ever heard. At the very least, I think you should discuss with them the points you raised in your nondenominational video
As a connecticut resident. what. is . this. we have so much history! good dentists, but also HISTORY! sure most places do, but none have our history. just go to a small town (or a museum) and do some research. we may be ridiculously obscure, but we do have lots of history. for example my town had a french general have a camp there, and now where it was is across from a high school
Oklahoma is peak US beauty, just look up wichita mountains. Plus the culture there has the highest native American influence probably in the world, although the reasons for that are unfortunate.
Just got back from a trip to sulfur, gorgeous. Plus we definitively have the best state song and the food is a tier when we combine b tier Mexican food, s tier hamburgers and ice cream, and s tier Indian tacos. I'll defend Oklahoma until I die, we're at the very least as good as Texas.
Alaska does have some very nice Orthodox churches. My village’s Russian Orthodox church is gorgeous. On the other hand, our mainline protestant churches are lacking
As a new believer, former liberal, (somewhat) Baptist Tennessean, I get a kick out of your opinion on us. You're right on a lot of it, and I'd love to show you where you're wrong on others. Baptists can be theologians, too! Once you visit Nashville, you'll put TN in S tier 👌 love your channel, God bless!
@@lunarpanda77 gave it a read, it literally makes a ton arguments for both sides and fence sits. Smoking weed to relax every now and then shouldn't be a problem.
@@crazyand2099 It certainly does a good job of evaluating arguments from both sides, but it's not a fence sitting position. It shows how in any capacity, weed violates sobriety and numbs the mind. Users aim to numb, distort, relax, unplug, distract, etc. Alcohol can also be sinfully used in this way, not not necessarily so. In moderation, alcohol promotes joyful hearts and can be enjoyed to God's glory. But it can also be used like a band-aid, as is the case with marijuana use, that numbs and distracts.
@@lunarpanda77 marijuana in moderation is the same way, users use it to relax and lower their stress. He just goes to the extreme and talks about potheads who don't work, even though that's a small fraction of pot smokers.
@@crazyand2099 But the dosage of marijuana required to achieve relaxation makes one not sober, whereas alcohol has positive psychological effects before impacting sobriety. Therefore the use of marijuana is either pointless (when consumed in quantities low enough that one remains sober) or immoral (when consumed in quantities high enough to relax the user).
Having grown up in Western PA, I can definitely speak to the "pretty Presbyterian churches." I grew up in a town that had an absolutely MASSIVE Presbyterian church that looked like it was ripped out of a European city. Never went (cradle Catholic), but it was one of the most striking features of downtown.
Since I’m not supposed to eat wheat or sugar, I can’t enjoy pizza or bagels, so New York doesn’t offer anything for me except rude crowds, though I do know there’s a very small university in upstate that, based on the one alum I’ve met apparently turns out good engineers. You’re right about CT. It’s New York west of the river and New England east. I lived East for 4 years and was heavily unimpressed. I also didn’t see any good schools there. All of the alums I knew from their most famous school (Yale) were morons. 13:06 can’t speak for most of them but I’ll point out that my MA from Liberty Seminary was more difficult than my MS from RPI and even more difficult than my BS in engineering from Georgia Tech (and I didn’t think that was possible).
