Raging Golden Eagle that really says it all, doesn't it.

Adam and Eve were literally forbidden from eating of the “tree of knowledge.” All the bad shit that happens today, according to Christians, is because eve went against god and ate. Kids get cancer because eve ate an apple that god said was a no-no. It’s not god’s fault, it’s the kids’ because free will. Doesn’t matter that the kids are innocent since their great great great great great x1000 grandmother Eve is not. They will suffer for her mistakes. Doesn’t matter that god exists outside of time and thus knows all that will happen including that eve was gonna eat the apple, he still created her and bossed her not to anyway. It’s all quite something and I thoroughly enjoy watching religious nuts attempt their mental gymnastics (Olympian level honestly) to make sense of something so utterly and contradictorily nonsensical.

Save Net Neutrality Anti-Republican this comment is perfectly truthful.

Depends on the cause. Climate does change. The Medieval Warming Period is “just how it was back then.” So was the Little Ice Age. Both colder and warmer climates before modern industry.

“Change” isn’t a virtue, it’s a verb

Michael Whittmann The fact is that it's changing too fast for evolution to be able to keep up with it. And if it keeps this up it'll reach conditions where life as humans would be impossible. And the fact is that it's our fault, so our ancestors and us should've taken responsibility for it. Unfortunately; they're dead, and they were too busy trying to stay alive in a civilisation that could've provided for their needs while scientific research increased. Obviously, fossil fuels will account for a lot of that in the meantime; but we have to make the best of a bad situation, even if that "bad situation" has existed for a long time.

The difference is what changes improve the human condition and what degrades it. While I am not a Christian, I can recognize the general good of the Judeo Christian Moral code upon our society. The Atheists can be technically correct about biblical discrepancies but wholly wrong about religion and it's positive effects.

Same here, however, I live in a South-Asian Muslim country, I want to be a closeted atheist so I hide. I can confirm that it explains ALL abrahamic religions in the best way possible. It really is a good source of material that shows how inhumane abrahamic religions can be. Also, It shows all the things that are toxic in religion. Side note, Jeffery/Geoffrey seems to be more moral than god which does make sense.

I found his video about what if man had obeyed God and not eaten from the forbidden fruit. When I watched that video for the first time, I was so offended. I was triggered. I was so angry and begging God to forgive Darkmatter2525 for the horrendous sin of blasphemy. Nowadays, as an atheist, I love that video so much now and all of Darkmatter2525's videos.

Paul reiterated homosexuality in the new testament.

@@AntonioRodriguez-nq7ml Yes, but Paul (a Hellenized Jew knowledgeable of the Greek language) was most likely referring to the practice of pederasty, effectively state-permitted pedophilia, not blanket homosexuality as we understand it. The context here is that the ancient Hellenes seems to have conceived sex as an issue of dominance, with the male (with the penetrative organ) being the dominant partner and the female being submissive, and so it was shameful for a man to have sex with another male in that he subjected himself to being penetrated, to fulfill a woman's role.

Love your neighbor as you love yourself and love God with all your strength mind and spirit are pretty well defined and when it comes to slavery its easy to see that this defies those two laws. Slavery in the sense that the OT expresses is not what it means today and is easy to see by comparison of the laws involved in the mosaic law and the actions of modern slave traders and such. Christians are the only ones that came to the conclusion that slavery is wrong which is why it was ended in the west altogether and this is evidenced all over the globe where as the atheist dictators enslave and murder millions of people and atheism has nothing to say against that except that it wasn't really wrong. Its just a subjective matter of opinion. And Islam was built off the backs of slaves and jihad so that's the other side of the box.

That is also an appeal to tradition. It is an intellectually dishonest argument.

No, right and wrong is only relative to a conscious being. Without consciousness, there is no right or wrong. To a Bear, it is right for it to maul a human to death in self defence if it gets too close and wrong for the human to shoot it. To a human, it is wrong for a bear to maul it to death and right to shoot it in self defence. A planet doesn’t care if it gets hit by an asteroid. A hydrogen atom doesn’t care if it is split in the core of a star. Right and wrong is very much relative to culture for humans, but always within mostly consistent boundaries set by the sense of “morality” which humans have. A homogenous sense of engrained biological morality is a very useful trait for surviving and thriving in social groups. But morality can evolve separately to our biology, within different cultures, caused by the similar social trait of the desire to fit in. This is where the noticeable differences of “morality” in different cultures appear. If your family and friends think that making animal sacrifices to appease the gods makes the crops grow bigger, then you’ll likely think the same, and will greatly reduce your chances of reproduction if you don’t, meaning the next generation will be even more likely to have the desire to fit in and follow the culture of their community.

They didn't have the knowledge or the language or the concepts. Yeah, right. They had the words for "good" and "evil." They had the word "slave." How hard would it have been to tell them that slavery was evil rather than giving them lots of rules about how they should keep their slaves? If it was too hard to teach them stuff, how come it was possible to devote all those words to telling Moses how to construct the tabernacle and the priestly uniform and the sacrificial rituals? And then essentially write it all out a second time saying "Moses built the tabernacle out of fuckit wood with brass rods two foreskins in diameter, etc., etc., et-fucking-c., repeating every fucking instruction instead of saying "Moses did what he was told." Oh, and it's not just cultural relativism, it's racist (at least the way many talebangelical Christians preach it). "The Jews back then were too ignorant and stupid so gawd had to wean them with animal sacrifices and barbaric rules." Except Judaism still has those rules, although they've toned them down somewhat and animal sacrifice is only for really special stuff (like rededicating the temple, if it ever gets built). So the Jews are *still* ignorant and stupid according to talebangelical Christians. The Jews insist (rightly in my opinion) that Jebus was a false prophet, a failed Messiah and not even the son of God, let alone God himself, and that's the reason they've stayed with Judaism. As far as I'm concerned, all religions are ignorant and stupid, not just one particular sect.

@@idot3331 : wrong. Moral objectivity exists, and you proved it yourself with this rebuttal using your bear example. Simply acknowledging moral relativism IS an act of moral objectivity. If you want another example, look at the scientific method.

It's frightening what people can be indoctrinated into believing. I'm glad you got out.

Have fun in hell

@@Strawhalo Oh I will. If that is where you think me and my kind go, then yeah it will be one huge party there~! Rather be in hell than in Heaven if that's where bible thumpers (and anti-freedom of religion) people go after death.

@@Strawhalo Have fun being wrong.

MrYondaime1995 omfg omfg this is amazing

@formless777 Target would do the same as Walmart if they were as big. They already do as much as they can get away with. Otherwise I agree with what you said.

That's funny, I've been using a scenario with two children stealing sweets for years now, but my purpose was to highlight the ludicrous concept of an eternal Hell. *IF* any human behaved remotely like the gods of the bible, torah or quran are purported to behave, they would be sectioned.

@formless777 Well I'm not from the US so I don't know why walmart gets so much hate.. I just went with the famous supermarkets haha

@alic seprin you obviously don't have children.

Ben isn't a fool.

@@darkwolf4434 Actually he is...

@@alexnguyen1777 Why? He used alot of facts and science in his political discussions. What I think is that you attack Shapiro based on his beliefs within a certain area of reality which you considers as the most important thing to get right, people do that pretty often to make them look intelligent while they are sittning in a couch while spending time on useless things.

Dark Wolf443 I disagree, Ben is a smart man, not a wise man

@@skateraptor12 Wisdom is an archaic concept.

Its because he's probably higher IQ. I know it sounds like a troll reply, but he's obviously at least 140. Statistics show a communication barrier.

@@traviswells7049 Higher IQ makes you *less* capable to communicate then? Or am I misunderstand what you mean here?

Niko looks to me like you're nitpicking here.. Conception without intercourse is about as illogical as it gets.. Bringing us to the point of this video... Why didn't God simply make it clearer if he saw it could lead to misinterpretation (all knowing trait)

Niko we can't comprehend the ways of God.. That is always being told to us so what makes you think what's obvious to him would be obvious to us? My baby cousin got burnt by a stove.. I asked him if he'd play with it again and he nodded.. I didn't beat his soft little baby ass, I tried to explain it to him and find safer places for him to hang out.. I don't expect a toddler to understand what I know, so how does God who has supposedly lived eons expect me, who is less than a toddler(understatement) compared with him, to understand something perceived as obvious in his eyes

@Niko So why is communicating clearly among the things he cannot do? I don't see what's impossible about it, unlike the examples you cite. Nor why keeping the universe orderly is one of them.

My only question is why he's both older and taller than God.

Otaatop this is apart of the story line where you find out Yahweh is just a man in a vr system to see how people would act if they were god and Jeffrey was actually the scientist watching these people to determine who would be best. This is part of him showing, the real man his wrong doings as his part in being the god of his world.

Otaatop the series was called power corrupts. Obviously on the same channel being dark matter.

@@zacharypendragon49 Holy shit thank you. After all of this time, I actually understand the plot of power corrupts.

@@zacharypendragon49 well Jeffrey wasn t a scientist at first. He was a student at the same college as yahwey and was put in the same vr with all his memories intact to help the teachers grade him. You could argue this is after Jeffrey dethorned yahwey after yahwey took control of the outside world

Welcome, my friend! Welcome! :)

carealoo744 thanks. Outstanding channel.

So cool and so brilliant, basic truth is a bitch.

Everything after the ten commandments is a corruption taken from the Law of Hammurabi. The Exodus itself is not 100% proven by Science. (Watch the Exodus Decoded) There is knowledge of advanced genetics in the bible : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lXTrX4i2ETY.html

Nope, God just needs to update his rules because you know..... _hes not perfect and changes his morality from time to time_ ....derp

The Ten Commandments are a historical record, clearly revealing the ignorance and stupidity of the people who wrote them.

It is indeed inexplicable why God's moral views are so outdated. Unless indeed he took one step at a time, in which case it's inexplicable why he didn't send regular updates. ======================== That said, from a secular perspective it makes sense, if you understand the background. Hebrews were nomadic, often away for long times. Sexual modesty of women wasn't just desirable, it was an absolute necessity for marriage, and thus society, to function. Hence adultery being a capital crime. The Deuteronomy chapter in full, further makes a distinction whether the (married/pledged) woman resists the attack: if that's in evidence, the man is executed for rape, she's held innocent. It however also means virginity is necessary for marriage (otherwise, obvious implications). This would be checked for at marriage. That poses the next problem: what if she's raped (or just has sex, when it can't be determined)? Then she has no way of proving her sexual modesty, her life's ruined. Mind you, different times. She can't claim government assistance, nor can she hope for her parents to sustain her forever. Unless she can be married off to a childhood crush (which I suspect was a common workaround), her life is basically over. Hence that solution: her rapist has to pay her a bride's price. This especially here had the function of allowing her parents to sustain her (normally this served in case he died. The money also was to show he could sustain a family). In Deuteronomy they're forced to marry; Exodus allows her father to take the dowry but reject the marriage itself. I'm not sure why Deuteronomy leaves it out, nor whether Exodus was historically treated as an amendment to it. ======================= As such, one could question whether it is in the ten commandments. Adultery is in there, and these could be considered the details on the adultery laws. Rape would be one-sided adultery, after all. ======================= I do repeat: this doesn't dismiss the "god" part of the question. Either god made his laws eternal, not needed to be updated, and this was the best he could think of. Or it was supposed to be updated, and we've been missing those updates, evidently. Either isn't good news for mainstream christianity. But it's of interest to consider the secular view... perhaps especially because it shows this is exactly what you would expect from human work.

Hey, shiva and odin still are intact... ^^ just joking

I have my foreskin!!

I want to ban circumcision and get federal funding for stem cell research to regrow foreskins

Ayo hoodie gang

I live in Ireland where circumcision doesn’t exist. I’m a woman and I felt so astonished when I found out that a lot of American men are circumcised. It was so enlightening to find out why my bfs dick didn’t look like the one in porn videos or drawings.
