Pastor Refutes Atheism At A March 

Question help: I try to reason with These people but they don’t understand your point. What do you do on this type of conversation when the other person doesn’t mentally understand your point? Do you just help them understand it?

@@Luke-vg4mt ask them this: what should you say to a lady who falls down the stairs and has a miscarriage? I bet they wouldn't tell her to get over it and that she can make another one.

Errr! Where did you debunk atheism? Nowt on the video!

love the content thank you for the excellent information to evangelize the lost

@@TillTheyMurderMeEvangelism Isnt it the christards like you who're lost in listening to a charlatan like durbin who needs childish word games cos he can't provide even the tinniest scrap of credible evidence of your god?

Awesome! Just remember churches are not perfect, because they are full of people, and I pray that Jesus reveals Himself to you, and you find a great church family.

I was raised a believer but left my faith in my late teens. I started to question my world view also and came back to faith based on my conclusions. God bless you brother.

hey man, are you now a brother in Christ?

The very fact that she was arguing is concrete evidence that all of her denials of truths, absolutes, or mere definitions is wholly insufficient to quell her conscience which is burning with condemnation within her. Although she is running from the truth, she comes to Jeff and argues. She is like the criminal who cannot stay away from the crime scene. The truth is, we cannot live up to our own manufactured definitions of integrity let alone to God's ultimate standard of holiness. Therefore, we often try, as does this woman, to run from any definition at all: of good or evil, or integrity, or even to avoid calling that "thing" in the womb a baby, a lump of cells, or a mere undefined "pregnancy." This woman is dancing like a child who needs to go to the bathroom, with vain attempts to make truth go away. Yet, at every turn it condemns her continuously. This shows how futile is the attempt to deny the truth that is written in our conscience, and how solid, real, and immutable truth is. Oh how we seek to avoid it! If only we could see how deep is the love that TRUTH is made of, and how beautiful that love is when we allow it to touch our hearts. This woman has hardened her heart to the child in the womb, but God has not hardened His heart to her. She is His child and He loves her dearly, so much so that He gave His Son to die for her. If only she would allow herself to see. Surely, this is the purpose of prayer. May the Lord bless this good work that Jeff and his team are doing.

Horseshit. The guy didn't even know what atheism is. He also doesn't know what a belief system is.

@God is Good Oh your crafts work alright, they work because of demons. You are a worker of darkness and deceit. Your god is nothing compared to Jesus. If your god was "good", as you say, you wouldn't have made the insensitive and ignorant comment you made regarding Jesus, which started this entire comment chain. You made that comment because deep down you can't stand the Light. So you lash out and make rude blasphemous remarks because the demons that you serve won't allow you to see clearly.

Honestly, there is absolutely no point in these people ever opening their mouths. They have nothing of value to add, just constant evasion and relativism. Why do they even bother?

Streetsdisciple001 well, as a believer in Christ we’re not here just to mind our own business

Spartan-203/Herrera's Spartan facts bro

Streetsdisciple001 you know that a child is in there too... why do you find that okay to kill the child 🤦🏽‍♂️

@Streetsdisciple001 It will certainly be the man's business if the woman has the child. A judge will make sure of that with child support payments. And if a criminal attacks the pregnant woman and the baby dies, the criminal will be charged with murder of the unborn baby. Not to mention the unborn baby has a separate body from the mother so one could turn this argument around and say the mother should mind her own body and not disturb the unborn baby's body. And there are cases where pregnant mothers who abused drugs or alcohol have been charged with crimes for hurting the body of the unborn baby as a result.

When Individuals refuse to call a ♠️ a ♠️ that’s when injustice becomes normalized. Beautiful woman...but she’s misguided...I hope she finds Truth...

Insanity really, they don't know which way is up.

I'm not on her side by any means but she was contemplating the fact that she just contradicted herself,and she knew it.

You know there's a problem when your holy book endorses rape and yet you read right past it.

@@SubconsciousGatherer Good thing that ain't the Bible but, your Holy books indirectly do.

@@justchilling704 You either misread my comment or misunderstood my position. (A) the Bible does in fact endorse rape (I've read it), and (B) I'm atheist, so I have no holy books. Reason, logic, and evidence guide my path, not faith. Thank you.

Yeah that girls argument was horrible but the reason rape is banned in our society is because it doesnt benefit society and causes people to live in fear.

@@atheisth5066 Not because it's Wrong?

@@Cube_Ernator1077 aqa and I explained why its wrong

@@atheisth5066 "Doesn't benefit" and 'causes people to live fear'. Banning some-thing from legislation doesn't stop it occurring. I'm sure "any" sexual offender will argue the rape "benefitted them" and use any excuse to justify their actions. Stamp duty taxes cause fear and don't benefit anyone, other than State Government yet it isn't "banned". Saying Rape Is Wrong clarifies the waters, do you agree?

Because a rapist harms others. So the not stopping others is limited to them not harming others.

Explained well? Sure. Justified Christianity? Not even close. Atheists can’t disprove a higher power. Christians can’t prove it. Agnostics use reason to establish morality and spirituality. Funny how people can’t see the inseparable connection between morality and justice, let alone explain it well.

@@Primatenate88 a refutation of objective truth in any sort of fashion is a completely contradictory worldview that cannot stand. It literally defies all logic and reason and any claim otherwise is complete and utter intellectual dishonesty. What Jeff Durbin is saying here is that you have to pick a lane otherwise your entire outlook on life is a lie. If you are okay with outright saying that you know that what you believe is intellectually dishonest and you don’t care, then that’s another worldview in it of itself. But you cannot claim that your belief is not contradictory or logically consistent, and that is what this entire argument was about. Any legitimate and intellectually honest atheist would tell you that that same belief is completely illogical. You can’t borrow reason or logic from an absolutistic worldview and apply it to a relative one. With all due respect stranger your statement itself is contradictory. It can be boiled down to this: Is there such thing as truth? No Is that statement true? If the person then answers yes they just completely refuted their own argument before it even began. If they answer no then what was the reason for them to even answer in the first place? Not to mention the lady above never even mentioned that Jeff “justified” Christianity regardless if he did or not, she simply said explain. I say this out of love friend, not hate. For the sake of truth, we should pursue it with integrity and honesty which is what Jeff’s point in the video was. God bless you brother.

@@domega9161 Your argument is diversionary and takes away from the main point. Agnosticism isnt absolutistic and doesnt deny any truth, it simply argues that there isnt enough evidence to support the idea of a specific almighty being, nor justify all the preset moral guidelines. Logic is about using the tools your human brain has to determine which ideas hold water and which ones dont. With all due respect, you've disappeared inside your own asshole by saying theres no such thing as truth. Try putting more thought into deciphering worldviews especially if those views affect major lifestyle decisions. May the force be with you.

@@Primatenate88 lmfao

@@XGMC921 Yes most atheists are used to talking with lukewarm Christians who just shrug their shoulders away when faced with tough questions. This one realized that this is not the usual!

Quite funny if you ask me but let me not chuckle with pride...hehe sorry.

Anderson Paes She said to take her as an example of someone who doesn't think that the idea of god matters, but not as representative of every atheist. Turn off your selective hearing and pay attention.

very true..good point,well spotted

@@timpieper5293 Your argument is inconsistent. Someone who thinks that the idea of god doesn´t matter is an atheist. You can´t say you are an atheist, but when arguments against atheism makes you speechless just say: Oh well I´m not a representative. What are you then? An atheist, but not a representative one? But for argument´s sake, let´s assume she is not a representative of a atheists. She is a representative of herself. Her indivudual atheism. So he argued against her world view. And she couldn´t answer...^^

Mona Müller “your argument is inconsistent.” Well, it’s possible you’re right. I’m going to hear you out and see if you can help me spot a flaw in my reasoning so that I can be more probably correct in the future. “Someone who thinks that the idea of god doesn’t matter is an atheist.” Where did you hear that? I’ve never heard that definition of atheism before. Or perhaps you’re not defining atheism but trying to say that if someone doesn’t think that the idea of god is important then they must necessarily be unconvinced of any of the many man made gods’ existence, because you’re saying that if someone believes in a god then it automatically follows that their gods are important to them? If that is what you’re saying, then what about non-committed Christians. They believe in the resurrection of Jesus, that he died on the cross, and they even believed wholeheartedly in Yahweh. But over the years, his commitment fades. Maybe it’s who he hangs out with now or what information he’s become privy to, but the songs and worship doesn’t move him like it used to. And somewhere between born-again and atheism, the Christian is convinced, tentatively, but not super invested in his idea of a god, because he wanted to know the truth, and that required being capable of admitting he was wrong about his gods existence if he could be given good reasons to think so. As you may have guessed, this anecdote is not too far off from my own personal experience as an ex-Christian, but my point is that it’s possible to believe in a god (to be a theist) and to yet still not take the idea of gods /too/ seriously, and /certainly/ not to take specific and ludicrous ideas of gods seriously. But you’re a believer, right? I’m assuming you’re a believer for the sake of this point. I’m assuming you’re a Christian and that you think Islam’s god doesn’t exist. So in one sense, you don’t take the idea of the Islamic god all that seriously. But in another sense, you may feel a great bit of concern about the idea of the Islamic god fooling people into not seeing what you see as the truth and come to be saved by the grace of your god. In that sense, the idea of a specific god might matter quite a lot to you. So I hope you can come to see why, while some atheists don’t take the idea of gods seriously, in another sense, some of us very much do. Some of us see you all committing yourselves to beliefs in a way that seems completely comparable to all other religions on this planet, and in many different and unique ways between the various religions. And this can cause many atheists natural impulse to empathize and sympathize with those people and want to help them think about their beliefs, and so that they can help us think through ours, and that we can both ultimately better understand the world and our most successful strategies for achieving happiness in life and, if you’re somehow right, happiness in the afterlife. But of course, there are some atheists who view this issue and hit a different take-home point: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--xtN_f2mZ88.html Having said all that, it seems that after he just gets done placating her points about how atheism isn’t monolithic, at 4:49-5:02, but then he starts trying to spell out “what atheism ultimately says” at 6:17-6:36. And he doesn’t even get what I believe, as an atheist, even close to accurate when he says “there’s no meaning, no value, no purpose.” This is truly messy language, and really doesn’t explain what most atheists I know of and respect would never say in such an imprecise and obfuscating manner. Here’s how they put it in response: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dWNW-NXEudk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--RqkskhzRCc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V3GxePIZk-I.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o5y8Uj_GMEk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r6w2M50_Xdk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Txp8LhL56rU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3I7TKW_QQbA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9nnwvoH-4XI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wbqMcdfcsGU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YBCDGohZT70.html It’s almost as if he’s deliberately putting words in her mouth after she identifies as an atheist and then pretends like she’s back-peddling for not holding his straw man position of what atheism “ultimately says”. But presuppositionalists would never rely on such dishonest word games, would they? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TxwtnCeg0nU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H8Nu5QXXtVU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UkVYCR6iWdM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MKKkC53EfiE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xamzFuo_4F0.html So my point is, when he tries to claim that atheism doesn’t provide the preconditions to complain about a mutilated child, by saying that atheists have no ultimate basis for complaining, he ultimately never really explains why it matters whether we have a basis. He tried several times, but all he did was reassert it over and over in contrast with his straw man of monolithic atheism he pretended to not think is real at the beginning of the video. Here’s more examples of atheists not fitting his mold of what follows in practice from not being convinced in a god’s existence or in an absolute unchanging moral law: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ft6Jn-haV_o.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5kQl46dBx7I.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ILtfuvjcrkI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwGcOxngTUI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MSmry9ppoIs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OsAaxOFOUl4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RlbUw5hjeKI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SFXQzexO5XU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DDi7_4BcvTg.html Then after she accurately calls Jeff out for making atheism sound like a belief system at 9:27-9:46 because he can’t refute it without misrepresenting it, as the diversity between the atheists I just presented demonstrates that he is in fact mislabeling his stawman atheist which says there’s no meaning or value even though that’s not what any atheist I just presented said in any way, nor do any of them necessarily agree on how to view morality despite all subjectively valuing human wellbeing. They also explained precisely why the absence of a basis for morality would make no practical difference in day to day life. And after she explicitly says she doesn’t have an /absolute belief system/ at 9:46-9:52, his response tells you everything you need to know: “do you believe that?” What disingenuousness. She told you she cannot hold an absolute-belief-system. She didn’t say “I cannot hold a belief”. And she was nice and took the blame for Jeff’s misrepresentation of her position, but I don’t think she should have. He knows full well that he’s misrepresenting her and all of the atheists I just listed, but he doesn’t care. And the next line on the presuppositionalists script is “what does honesty, inconsistency, or being compassionate and rational matter anyways if there’s no god?” And then attack us with the straw man again. Did I guess it right? Matt Dillahunty did: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OL8LREmbDi0.html But even if you play that card, it’s okay. You already know it’s not going to work because it was already refuted by TMM and Logicked and TBS, and the rest of the lot of atheistic perspectives I cited. I should tell you though; other Christians who /do/ care about honesty, inconsistency, and compassionate rationality will be immune from that card and will see you playing that card for what it is. An admission of guilt. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M7if0BLqI_g.html You haven’t yet played that card, to your credit, so I’ll just let that be a pre-emptive defense that once again demonstrates the juvenility of presuppositionalism. “She is a representative of herself” Yes, and I’m a representative of myself and you’re a representative of yourself, and Jeff is representative of all professional pressuppers in some sense but he is ultimately an individual with his own personal perspective devoid of omniscience or anything he would have to need in order to actually be justified in claiming to know with the levels of certainty that he does. And as you can see, her inability to answer anything doesn’t make anything he said less bullshit. I hope this response finds you well, regardless of whether I have a basis for doing so or not. Peace.

Zed Zul Zorander I don’t know what imaginary person you’ve started arguing with, but perhaps you could try actually addressing the points I’ve specifically given as responses to Jeff’s points or questions. For example; Jeff’s disingenuous question about whether she believes she holds an absolute belief system. He heard the word “belief” and pretended that’s all she was referring to. What defense can you come up with? You got anything of substance to say? Or are you perhaps just posturing? Can you even give a reason to think my citations are not clearly designated as references of the variety of perspectives atheists actually take, despite Jeff’s language purposefully designed to give the slimy impression that atheism entails a bunch of unrelated claims that are complete non sequiturs? What’s not relevant about the citations of Presuppers being shown for doing what they are doing; putting the cart before the horse and never backing up their assertion that uniformity of nature, Logic, or moral claims, or subjective values all somehow mean a god exists, let alone the Christian god (embarrassing): ru-vid.com/group/PLkYjGll0E2OBHIyaxSh3IxobqoJ3cIq5u This is simply gaslighting. All preaching presuppers are admitting Christians have nothing left. Presuppositionalists recognize they don’t have a shred of rational thought behind their beliefs, so they normalize circular reasoning and then pretend everything atheists happen to infer are all based on their god, then they pretend every atheist acts as if they’re borrowing from the presuppers worldview all while never actually backing up their claims. It’s great for keeping Christians remaining Christians, but for people like me who don’t buy these baseless claims or the baseless claims that my worldview is reduced to unworkable simply because I don’t buy the first set of unsubstantiated claims is nothing more than flare. If you have a rational response that shows how my comment lacks relevant responses to Jeff’s blunders, I’d love to hear it. I wonder if you can. Please note I haven’t assumed you’re a presupper or a Christian yet. But given the subject of my comment, your bravado doesn’t tell me you’re likely objective on this issue and seem determined to avoid addressing the actual conversation topic and want to deflect into tedious accusations of being something the other is not. I don’t know what your position is, other than you think I’m apparently beneath serious consideration, and that you’ve called me a troll. Anything else? What do you have to add to the conversation?

@MusicMadMaurice It appears not to many people are agreeing with you. Have you ever thought that maybe you are the one with the wrong worldview and that you have been brainwashed into believing atheism is correct? The pastor clearly demonstrated what a ridiculous worldview atheism is. Maybe you just don't want to see.

@MusicMadMaurice Hi Maurice. Hope you are doing well. Surely a naturalistic explanation for our universe comes with atheism? There is no evidence that our universe could have somehow arisen by itself naturally therefore I would argue that atheism is a belief. The evidence actually points towards an intelligent uncaused first cause for our universe. Surely the argument that the universe somehow managed to arise itself uncaused is the bigger claim and therefore the one that requires an explanation.

@MusicMadMaurice Yes I know we don't know what caused the universe. But we can logically look at it and come up with logical explanations, and these logical explanations lead to an intelligent uncaused first cause. Btw I'm not sure why you are trying to bring Dawkins book into this discussion. Let's just stay on topic.

@MusicMadMaurice 1. Point taken. I misunderstood your original comment and I now know I didn't have enough information to assume your worldview. 2. It seems you have misunderstood my comment. I never said a magician conjured anything into existence. What I did say was that logic and reasoning leads to an intelligent uncaused first cause being the most plausible explanation for our universe. I will elaborate later. 3. You said "Can you see the difference in that viewpoints compared with those who claim s thoroughly discredited book .....". The first thoroughly discredited book that jumped to mind was Richard Dawkins the god delusion. Or was it one of his other books you were referring to? Back to point 2. Can you suggest any natural thing or event which can be it's own explanation? If your answer is no, why do you believe the universe is an exception?

@MusicMadMaurice Back up your assertion by giving us examples of how it has been discredited.

@Streetsdisciple001 Yes, it's okay to force a woman not to kill her baby.

Streetsdisciple001 it’s ok for the baby to be punished for the dads actions?

Streetsdisciple001 idk how about you ask a rapist? I’m not forcing them to do anything. I’m forcing the to not kill. Forgive me

Streetsdisciple001 she has every right to what?

Streetsdisciple001 the flesh can recreate the flesh but who can create a soul and a spirit to fill the body? See the baby isn’t the mother. When there is a car crash and a pregnant women dies, it is counted as 2 deaths. Abortion is wrong and deep down inside you you do know it you are suppressing the truth. I’m not angry I just want you to know right from wrong.

fluoride in the water is working

Ridiculous indeed!

Yea, she's not getting it. Are some people just blind always?

Jeff is the one not paying attention. She doesn’t wish to represent any other people whereas Jeff is fine with representing ALL Christians. Bias much?

blackestjake She is at an anti abortion march and claiming not to represent anyone or anything including her own thoughts or feelings... hmmm 😊 Praise the Lord! 🙏

Hahahahaj, and she cant even grasp it. You cant trick God, the Word is with him, and the Word is He. You cant even think without Him, ahahahah.

What she probably should have said was “religious belief system”, as in theism. Everyone essentially has their own system of beliefs that they believe to be sound, not to be mistaken with worldview which is more philosophical. In a sense i do get how christians would think that atheists hold a “belief” system but the fact is the atheist has a lack of belief in the theistic sense. I know its hard to believe but believe me that you dont need to believe theistic beliefs to believe in a belief that is atheistic. Lol i was just having fun with the previous sentence. And the whole thing about morality is just ridiculous at this point, what people need to understand is that morality is a social construct, morality can only exist if there is something that can comprehend morality. Humans display morality and so do some animals purely because in a society the wellbeing of the group is beneficial to the individual. Yes, some people do lack the sense of morality or have differing opinions on what is morally right or wrong, and thats why morality is subjective. To say morality is contingent on a god is just wrong, i don’t believe in a god but i know if i murder someone it is not beneficial to society and i would then be subject to a punishment put in place by society, unless the person murdered was trying to murder me then self defense could be seen as morally right which is why morality is subjective.

@@Samartitxiki Can you clarify that last paragraph? It sounds like you think murder is wrong only because of the social implications and consequences...

ghouleh * If there is not a punishment for murder i still wouldn’t want to murder because i can understand that those people probably don’t want to be murdered just like i dont want to be murdered... everyone else should feel the same but sometimes people really want to murder so we punish those people usually by putting them in a place that removes them from society. But no, even if this punishment was not in place and there were no consequences of murder, i still would not do it because i would not want someone to think it ok to murder me.

Nim Boo thank you for that glimpse into your mind. I fully understand that some people may think like you, but I wholeheartedly hope that the people that are on the fence about their own beliefs can look at your comment and see an example of a tragic side-effect of religion. Threats are not a very good conversion tactic, btw. Insanity is defined as: extreme foolishness or irrationality Synonymous with: loss of reason Insanity is your religion. For example: It is irrational to put faith into an Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent being with no good evidence to support the claim that this being exists, accepting these claims based on the lack of compelling evidence indicates a flaw in your ability to reason. Whereas atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods due to the insufficient evidence to reasonably make a definitive claim that such a being exists...... Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I do believe he has a testimony video. Actually I’m positive he does cuz I’ve watched it. Very powerful testimony.

That's the holy spirit guiding his thoughts and words in order to get the will of the Lord across. Even though these videos rarely end with someone changing their minds the way the Lord uses this man plants seeds in their minds for the Lord to deal with them.

David Edwards absolutely Amen

Hey Steve he answers your question in a sermon he did. Type on the RU-vid search Pastor Jeff the most shocking message

I feel you man, like what kind of sanctifying of the holy spirit does it take to get this type of patients and meekness's, whilst simultaneously preaching the word with zealousness and authority is beyond me.

If you love someone, you won't lose patience with them. When you understand, *truly* understand, how much God loves you, and you look at a person, any person, and realize that God loves them just as much, who are you to love them any less? (that's not a challenge, I understand spiritual growth into the image of Christ is a process, and if you don't automatically feel a sincere, deep love for anyone and everyone, just pray, read scripture, and thank God for who he is and what he has done for you) 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

This guy Jeff understands the warfare....You gotta be patient with folks in the world cause the God of this world which is devil has blinded their minds....They are confused as heck....It's one big mess.

Nager McDuck works both ways there. We atheists get very aggrivated by generalizations, mischaractorization of our reasons, and it takes alot of patience while someone tells us how wrong we are, and will suffer for eternaity, and that they only threaten me because they love me. We are highly intelligent people, and run off logic and skepticism. We are extremely patient most of the time, but christians trigger me so bad because of the personal insults based of ignorance, and misguided understanding of what or who I am.

Trent Clancy: If I may ask you this....what part of what Mr. Durbin stated to this girl in this video do you not agree with? Be specific to give time marks as it pertains to the video so we can go back and listen. Thanks.

Joe Christians speak in circles.

How can you have a respectable discussion with some American Bible thumper whom wont have nothing else than whats in his bible..?

Lets pray for her enlightenment. God bless her and you who read this. ~God is great all the time. All the time God is great.

@Bossmanham Exactly. So it makes sense from a propagandistic standpoint to make a video of her and put her on your website to make yourself look good(yourself being Jeff Durbin), and to make her and Atheism look bad and act like she is some effective or substantial representative of Atheism and that refuting her means you've refuted Atheism in general.

Maybe, but guess what? She sounds like basically every millennial atheist I've ever talked to. So it's not surprising.

better than most in America!

but, you are correct, on the foundational level. What do you think?

James Sexton he handled what well. He’s one of the biggest liars out there yet he claims the moral high ground as if Christians are honest. He’s a total douchebag

This is the best we get from atheists--just whining when they realize that Christian can be intellectuals and destroy arguments--it's not really what they like. And in other cases, like exhibit A, you get false accusations. When worst comes to worst, name call--it makes the world better.

Mario Duenas provide some evidence or proof for your god then we might have something tangible to discuss.

Sometimes I wonder why I watch videos like this for that reason.

My OpenMind nah you atheists just dont understand how to have a civilized argument and when presented with valid facts contradicting you beliefs you just cower out like you are now

Maybe she doesn't need a Jesus, maybe she is a good person without your Jesus..

@@trousersnake1841 there is no good without God. No one is good.

Talk about irony 😂😂.

Harriet Guda They want to dehumanize the unborn so badly in order to dull their conscience.

Your supposed god insures that abortions are performed every day. Women lose children in and before childbirth all the time. It saddens me to see a channel like this with people clouded by religious brainwashing.

David Hopkins: Why do you care?

TheJpgr1958 Do you really have to ask such a question? Doesn't everyone care about the fate of the world, society and the future of their families and humanity in general?? Doesn't everyone try to see the "Big Picture". Doesn't everyone want to have a healthy, open, happy cooperative society?

David Hopkins: "Do you really have to ask such a question?" Yes I do. Your questions remind me of the scene from the second Terminator movie in which the boy Conner told the Terminator that he can't go around killing people. Every time Conner told the Terminator he can't kill people, the Terminator asked him the question "why?" Finally Conner ended the conversation with this: "Because you just can't, trust me." That really didn't answer the question did it? So again, I ask the same question to you, why do you care?

prayer = i hope the best for you as long as i dont have to lift a finger or be inconvenienced.

@@DeathMerciless Thats not how prayer works

@@DeathMerciless lol!

@@DeathMerciless In this instance (in regards to this woman) 'Pray for her' means petition God to change her mind and let her see truth. (Because that is beyond our ability, especially in regards to someone we may never be able to speak to ourselves). The kind of petitioning through prayer that God describes He desires in and listens to in His Word.

There is no God

@@thedevilsadvocate5210 how do you know?

@@thedevilsadvocate5210 That’s a bold claim. The burden of proof is now on you to disprove God’s existence because you made the claim. Unfortunately for you disproving God’s existence is unfalsifiable. Let’s see you prove me wrong. I’ll wait...

@@kreature7946 Yeah keep telling yourself that. The only God you have is created in your own mind. I must disprove God’s existence. The statement God doesn’t exist is as equally true as the statement God exists, God told me he didn’t exist.

I just wish he had the honesty to examine his own beliefs and see that there aren't any logical arguments for belief in god(s). I do agree that he's quite patient and kind in his talks, but there's a lot of dishonesty there too (like all the time spent insisting on talking about atheists claiming gods don't exist, when most atheists are simply non-believers and when you google "atheist definition" you see it's just lack of belief or disbelief in any gods.)

Actually, I thought she was pretty respectful. I'm not sure where in the video she tried to stop him from speaking.

Paulina Coronado nothing to back up that God is a dick but everything points to him being a weak asshole who uses humans to create wars.

@Aly :0 RIGHT because science has a final answer as to where we came from. You say science has the answers but the ones who believe in the big bang for example can't even explain who "caused" the big bang.

@@alexrose8299 "Create wars"? We blaming God for things we do? I suppose to you we really are cell clumps with no value. Why complain about atrocities with "moral claims" over the religious, when it all simply comes down to being a subjective opinion from one clump of cells--in a vast spectrum of many other secular clumps of cells?

@Aly R To back her subjective claims. What point is she exactly trying to make? It's baffling how she's trying to reason with no reason :S

It's hard to have a discussion if you're not willing to change your mind. If you don't have an open mind then you can't debate, because you're not being fair to your current beliefs and allowing them to be potentially wrong. This woman is smart, but she isn't willing to allow her beliefs to be challenged, she tries a number of techniques to affirm her position: pivoting to avoid answering, trying not to take a clear position to confusingly refute his position, ect.
