We Aren't Just Angry 

Or for lying to you (at least regarding some things like science) all your life as it was in my case, I was particularly salty when I found out that the apologetics and other authorities I was supposed to look up to in the end were just selling nonsensical arguments the entire time and I was too zealous to see it earlier.

Or giving people an excuse to be bigots

@monus782 Exactly. The fact it's lying to children is bad enough, full stop. There is no afterlife, and they totally wasted your precious life and time. I'm so sorry :(

@@sorryifoldcomment8596 strange as it sounds I actually don’t regret my time in my previous church, save for the times I was a bigoted jackass because I was told to barely tolerate gay people for example, as it was one of the things that made me who I am today, and I loved the sense of community and purpose and I had to seek that out after I left in things like Humanism because otherwise my deconversion journey would’ve been much more lonely than it was (especially when I don’t have the most favorable situation regarding this with family). I’d say that I was pissed off because it was all like a relationship where you were infatuated with that special someone only to find out they were cheating on you the entire time and since day one, I think most people would feel the way I felt after I left if they were in that situation as in both cases it’s about a relationship ultimately built on lies. At least I want to think it’s a bit harder for me to fall into BS arguments if somebody tried to convert me as I can see how the apologetics work now, maybe I’d be a bit more gullible if I wasn’t exposed to all of that (especially since I live in an area that is still relatively pretty religious, even if not as much and as oppressive as the Bible Belt region in the southern US or Saudi Arabia). It wasn't all the scandals or awful things that believers that made my faith fall apart but it was being lied that faith and science are perfectly compatible when it fact they're not (ironically after being told to always seek the truth and having scientist but religious parents, just try to apply the logic of Original Sin to human evolution to see where it's going).

enlightenment happens differently for different people. Yes, the indoctrination has a biased flaw big big flaw but once you wake, you still have to choose to understand as much as you can to determine where you stand. Blaming other people for your own ignorance helps no one but people who will weaponize the hate that comes with it. If you weren't free before, free yourself now. Atheism and the organized religion all have flaws. If its about our personal lives, we should stop waiting for people like this one here in the video and apologists to determine the truth, we need to read between the lines on both sides and decide.

For them to tell how people should live, breath..

@@lonewolfgamingplus379 We learned right from wrong. They learned the bible. Ya, they are very good at telling other people how they should live. But, question theirs. And you must hate god. 🤔

@@thomasridley8675 Makes me think about how the whole real schtick of "faith" is to believe wholeheartedly in a concept or person without actually knowing for certain if that feeling is correct. It's likely why they hate it being questioned, because that's the most important aspect to their religion.

Amennnnnnnn.

I'm angry at god in the same way I'm angry at Voldemort.

How do you know god is an it?

And again. And again.

That makes sense. As a man of faith, I don't like being represented as being clueless about science when I have a degree in mathematics. Although to be fair, probably the majority of Christians don't know much about science. But even if only 5% have any knowledge about any scientific fields, that's still a HUGE number.

@@theboombody I mean, having a degree in math doesn’t give you any particular amount of knowledge about chemistry, biology, or physics

Yes, it's frustrating having your arguments straw manned or misconstrued or misunderstood over and over again. Or have them tell me that I actually believe in this or that.

​@@theboombody a problem is that the bible has barely any if there is anything that goes along with what we know thanks to the scientific community. Oftentimes it goes directly against it, so people like me would say anyone that is Christian either knows nothing of science, or they've bent the bible to fit what we know and ignore what doesn't fit. For example Genesis is entirely wrong, the order that god creates the universe is off from what we know and have theorized, there was never a point where there was only two homosapiens were alive, and counting the genealogy given in Genesis leaves us with ~6000 years from creation to today. Even bumping that up with the first seven days of god time instead of human times it doesn't come close to the creation of the universe. This is the founding myth and basis for the entire Bible, because without Adam and eve's first sin where did sin come from, why is God angry at us

Omg, this annoys me so much. It's so condescending. I was told by a family member recently that I would come to Jesus once I had more life experience. I'm 29, life experience is why I moved away from Jesus lol.

@@punk91 yep! I feel like most of the people who say this are usually the people who haven’t expanded their horizons or left their hometown.

@@yvette4948 lol it's so true! I wonder if they are envious of people that move away, meet new people, have new experiences, so they talk down to them to make themselves feel better about being stuck.

It's because life isn't fair. The more you live it, the more you release just how unfair life is. So at a certain point, It's easier for some people to believe in a god, than in the truth bad things happen for no reason at all. At least It's why I feel like my friends who went back to religion, went back.

@@punk91 they might be right in that once dementia starts to set in and cognitive impairment results Jesus might seem more believable? But hopefully you won't suffer dementia and stay atheist.

it's always projection tbh

They will say it’s different because that was “righteous” anger.

I think it’s insane when people try to say they put all their trust in God.. like.. you always have to trust yourself first, because you’re the one who’s thinking this collection of books is magical and has all the answers to life..

@@whysocurious7366 don't even get me started on how fundamentalist christianity makes you distrust yourself. it took me a long time to form my own opinions and be confident in them because i was raised to believe my mind is lying to me

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I have a close friend who is processing a lot of religious trauma. It’s sad how some Christians will blind themselves to others’ torment so they can continue to pretend their beliefs are this magical cure-all for people’s pain.

@@birdiejett3163 it's because they're hiding their own personal pain as well. if they acknowledge our pain, they have to acknowledge their own, which breaks down the façade of "christian=best way to live." my heart goes out to your friend, and i would definitely send them videos like this one. watching other people explain how they and others have gone through what i've gone through really helps me understand that this is a systemic issue that we're all facing together

Atheists aren’t angry at God. We’re annoyed with the believers in God who use their religion as an excuse to be bad people and treat others poorly.

Well if they would keep their faith to yourself and wouldn’t shape societal rules based on their faith nobody would hate religion.

It’s so ironic when they say that. It’s like they don’t even hear themselves. Atheists and Christians agree on one thing, you can’t be angry at a god when you don’t think He exists, but Christians fundamentally misunderstand the fact that atheists aren’t angry at God. Atheists are angry at the Christians themselves.

Actually Allah is just another term for God. Did you know that Allah _LE GASP!_ means "God" in Arabic? It's related to _el_ / _eloah_ -- which is Hebrew for "God".

Which is why power never panics. You stay cool and let the Christians seethe, you won

@Rain Elizabeth that's fucked up

That happened to me too as my grandma helped raise me and I got scolded for showing "negative" feelings. No wonder my mom had so many medical issues growing up especially overeating, and my grandma would smoke whenever she felt upset.

And when your emotions are suppressed by other people like that, it only makes you feel worse and increases your chances of being an angry person your whole life. My dad was a lot like yours, except that he was a total hypocrite and did nothing to deal with his own anger issues, so I endeavor up getting stuck with them.

I'm angry at god in the same way I'm angry at Voldemort.

It turns out when you become a christian you get the magical power of mind reading and instantly knowing a person's motives....as long as they fit in the defined parameters you listed. Lol.

That is a good point. Those are typical responses to disbelief and they probably shouldn't be. Just don't assume that people of faith are automatically irrational and haven't thought about their faith before as well, even from other viewpoints besides ancient scriptures. Like, if morality does not come from a consensus of men, where in the heck does it come from? If you believe it comes from a consensus of men, that's fine and dandy, until you end up in the minority and you believe everybody else is wrong.

@@theboombody Bud, christianity is a minority. Your views go against not only 4000 other recognized religions around the world, but also that of non theists. According to your bible, ALL of them are going to hell. If that’s gods “objective morality,” i’d be much happier risking it to have my own, actually moral, subjective morality. Christians believe everyone else is wrong *so hard* that they literally push their own followers to not only go after others and try to convert them, but to do it with horrible methods (such as: preaching at a funeral of another faith/no faith) to try and win as many followers as possible. It ALSO makes sure that any kids their followers have are brought right in, and very much so don’t like telling those kids about other views. I view child indoctrination as irrational with my completely subjective morality, and a 2,000 year old book won’t change that.

@gnolex Actually it's worst than that... Thing is, from what I've seen when an atheist defect from Christianity, some are initially angry at all the B.S. their communities put them through. Christians generally don't understand the ire is at the communities and ideology and not God himself. I know this, because as a Christian, I used to be such an idiot... It's been seven years since I left that misconception behind, and good flipping riddance to it.

I used to be an atheists. now I can see they were nothing more than snobs who think them selves better than the religious for the simple act of not believing god exists. the worst is when atheists treat religious like we are living literally in some medieval times and are ignorant of how the world works.

Yes you can be angry at fiction

Plus anger (when their is, because most of the time it's the preaching side which start yelling when uncomfortable with an argument) is not directed toward an imaginary god but at the people who use it as a reason to harm people.

Frustrated because they feel that they've been lied to their entire lives. How would you feel if you were told that Santa Clause is real for over 20 years and then only on your own, find out that Santa never existed in the first place? Pretty upset right? It's sort of the same thing when it comes to Christianity or any religion and find out it's not actually true. Granted there are some good things in the Bible that can be used as guidelines for how to live life. But that's all it is, guidelines or basically suggestions. I can find the same sort of suggestions in a fortune cookie or other religions as well. It's like the pirate code in POTC. Point is follow the guidelines or don't, it's honestly up to you.

they’re :P

@@braupaul for me, I'm less upset that I've been lied to in the past compared to the frustration that I'm currently feeling because harmful ideas are still getting spread under the guise of religion. So much bigoted beliefs are based on or even encouraged by religion. I'm mad because religion keeps harming people's lives.

Frustrated at having the same things pushed on us over and over, not to mention lied about and misconstrued ... the "angry atheist" being itself one of those falsehoods.

It is VERY frustrating trying to share a civilization with a bunch of immature people who demand we play along with their fairy-tales.

Read the bible in middle school and assumed the wacky shit was a metaphor, but my mom said "nah it all really happened" and then 15 years later learned that biblical literalism is new to abrahamic religion by a couple centuries.

For me, it was a slow realization of: "Wait, we're supposed to love everyone but this book has a supposedly loving God regularly commanding followers to commit genocide?" Along with all the ways the church either advocates or excuses abuse. And the fact that "Wait... So the religion's basically all about human sacrifice and the belief that saying the magic words gets you in a good place after you die even if you were a crummy person?" The thing that truly sealed it for me was learning of the existence of the apocrypha and that the "undisputed word of God" in fact had been disputed throughout history and we only have the current version because a lot of church leaders got together to argue it out. Even to this day there's a difference between bibles as some include Maccabees and some don't.

@@wordforger Not even just commanding his followers to commit genocide. The big guy upstairs loves to do all that sorta stuff himself too. My favorite examples being: When he *literally* made a deal with the devil over Job, and everything that happened to Job following (almost like the perfect being would know it’s useless to try and talk with the incarnation of evil? Much less reason with it?) And my absolute fav, Kings (22:23). It involves a group of children playing. They see a bald man walk by, and make fun of him for being bald. What does our perfectly-moral god do to these children who are acting childish? Murder ALL of them by sending 2 bears to kill them. It’s a cult. Fill stop.

idk what is with atheists and the science argument. like science is somehow the opposite of religion and there is just two paths you can take, either be completely and utterly ignorant believe and live under a rock and deny everything about the world, or be an atheist and jack off to science while burning churches. yes these are exacerbated but it is certainly how it appears. for some atheists and believers there can only be either or.

@@gentlesandladymen It has more drama than the Friday Night Funkin fandom and trust me, there’s pretty much a new controversy every day.

I'll have to politely disagree. I was fucking floored with Umbridge in the Harry Potter books and movies. I have reviled fictional characters before, it just doesn't mean I secretly believe they exist and feel like that anger is actually directed at a real entity. The fan club doesn't help matters either when they claim things about their idol that doesn't even mesh with the source material or try to defend blatantly evil actions.

I may not be in church anymore, but at least the people I have kept in contact with are not the judgy, preachy type. They accept people for who they are and have a stall for free food that’s close to or out of “best before” from local supermarkets.

@@myheartiswriting I think I get that. Everyone else in my small group has a zeal for Jesus that I find baffling and I sometimes envy, and it seems like an insult to God is an insult they take personally. I don't honestly know; I've never been in love.

Yes!! This has happened so recently. My dear friend has been in a horribly abusive relationship with a textbook paranoid schizophrenic guy with extreme religious delusions who fully endorsed his abuse & defended his abuse of her & their 2 children and accused me of being the abusive one when I called out his his abusive caustic bullshit to his face. He proceeded to scream at me how horrible I am for 15-20 minutes, and she defends him fully, while chastising me. So sick! Well, I will sit back & watch as he destroys her, and likely murder her & the 2 kids because he is that crazy & sick...and just say " I told you so".

The anger is a driving motivation to make the world better. I'd be a worse person if I had that anger taken away.

I'll instead take my anger _out_ in the general direction of His Beloved Son for being the only being apparently with enough self-control to live up to His Impossible Standards. ...How dare God be superior to _me,_ even on a _completely level playing field...??_

@@masstv9052 that sounds like Telltale. If so, I second that recommendation wholeheartedly

Y'know I'm just here wondering why you believed that person. You needed someone to get you through and that's it. Why blame the ignorance of that man on God? We were all born sinners so why wasn't that man that told you that punished yet? If there is no God then I suppose is useless, if to say. Cos what are we doing? Living, breathing, going through the problems of life and then finally dying. That's just too basic if you ask me. Take a second and think about it. What would you do if you didn't exist? If you see this as a dumb question then congrats you earned an achievement. Now move on to the question, "What does it mean to exist on a personal level?" Idk who you are or why troubles you've faced but I think you just need someone to explain what it means to be a 'genuine follower of christ.' or better still come to that conclusion yourself and not take wrong things about Christianity as the wrong things about God.

@@mrlollip0p You're being very disrespectful. This person gave up their faith, and you're basically saying "if god isn't real we have no purpose." We don't need a purpose. We get to make our own purposes. There is no evidence for your god (arguments do not count as evidence) so of course people will take your religion as a reflection of your religion.

@@goatdeer8403 I won't argue about the existence of God. Why we have no meaningful purpose is because "science" is simplifying your existence by saying "Humans are animals" or "We are a product of evolution". Imagine your parents giving birth to you, teaches you how to make farm and make certain tools to help cultivation and weapons to be used against animals. You eat, play/talk with friends, learn and sleep on a daily basis. And just like that you've grown up. Maybe you change certain ppl for the better. You go on a journey to another land when you come of age, then find a life companion and the cycle goes on exactly that way. You would agree with me that your life typically didn't mean much to the world regardless of the minor ways you contributed and changed it(slightly), because one way or another if you didn't exist there are typically other human beings. No matter what, if we continue such a cycle humans will NEVER be extinct. So why the need to go around, conquer people, conquer land and have slaves? Why do you want the extravagant when the needful is enough? If humans are what science depicts us as, we should follow such a cycle and not rule over the world. Imagine lions having their characteristics and being as smart and self aware as humans. But although you do not follow such a cycle you still follow a very similar one as of right now. Eat, play, learn, sleep, grow up, work for your daily bread, change a few ppl for the better (eg. Being there when they needed you the most), find a life companion and finally die. We didn't change how our time on earth works so why didn't we just stick to when it was simpler and easier? What is your worth? How much of this world have you changed? If you(on a personal level) didn't exist wouldn't there be another person to fill your role? If science is right then I can kill two ppl and father two children. Nothing changes. People will mourn the two people's death but on a universal basis it's very ok to just replace them. I don't know you so what has your life done for me? Nothing. I would very much still be alive if you didn't exist. If you don't exist then someone else will. Maybe another sperm cell replaced you and you were flushed down the toilet. You were 'chosen' to be on earth. If you say God doesn't exist then you're taking for granted the fact that you won the sperm race and you weren't killed as a helpless baby. Don't get me wrong, believing in God isn't a way to prove my self-worth( if that be the case then it's on a psychological level). Believing on God means that even if we continue this cycle of life everyone will agree was torture at a certain point of their life, there is a meaning to all of the limited happiness, the sadness, the suffering and all the pain. I didn't mean to disrespect anyone, I'm sorry if I did. Religion isn't good. Take Africa for example: they were given the Bible and were sold. They thought the suffering they faced was justified, while it was a way for greedy people to capture their minds and make them obey. Are you saying that the devout Christians around the globe that care for the poor and needy or go to muslim hotbeds where ppl are killed for being christian to spread the word are part of such greedy fellows? Not everyone in a religion is religious. Please don't disrespect or take for granted people that sacrifice their lives for the world to become a better place. If you look from outside the box you'll see that everything that brings "pleasure" and "happiness" on earth is mostly vain. Having many women, many riches, power, authority. They're all vain. God is real my good friend. And he sent his son to die for us so we may receive eternal life and true happiness. A happiness that doesn't neglect another person of theirs. Jesus loves you. (If you made it here, sorry for the long essay🙏)

@@mrlollip0p I have given you the benefit of the doubt and read all of it. It's mostly drivel and word salat. Sorry to hear that you need to believe in stuff you can't demonstrate to exist because reality isn't exciting enough or too pointless for you. "God is real my good friend." is just an assertion. The reasons you have given here are essentially "because I feel more fulfilled with that belief". I could go through every single bias and non sequitor you just made in this rant if you want, because there are a lot. PS: Science does not say that living in a cycle is how we should live. Evolutionarily, species which can find new habitats are more likely to survive, as are individuals which conserve riches such as food, so scientifically speaking there is a really good reason why historically speaking an expansionist mindset was/is advantagous. Honestly all you have made me convinced of even more once again is that a bad understanding of science goes hand in hand with religiosity.

@@mrlollip0p this is one of the reasons people like me generally dislike Christianity (or in my case organized religion) and those who are fanatical about it (and yes, long speeches on FB trying to argue God to people who have told you the abuses suffered under your religion is fanatical). The fact your first response is to defend God and blame people for following the teachings they were given (there's a lot of hateful shit in those books) proves the point of a lot of us who have come to hate the religion as a whole. You've made your belief such a major part of who you think you are that you HAVE to try and force people to share your beliefs no matter what. This kind of unwanted, unsolicited preeching is part of why Christians get a bad rep.

Mhm. And still _is,_ if you take the Communion at face value...

Id fuck a vampire but im not angry at em

I'm not angry at Robert Pattinson for starring in the Twilight movies before becoming Batman.

I'm disappointed in "Santa," because saint veneration is cooler than the tradition gives him credit for. The 'tooth fairy' was always known to be my parents, and it's cute. I'm sure the fair folk don't mind. ...who's Vishnu? ...ah, _Vampires_ tho... symbolic folklore representation of immoral and sickly Eastern European aristocracy. These guys are a metaphor for the _real-world_ bad guys and don't "sparkle in the sun" like the Mormon romance novelist chose to (unhelpfully) apply to their folkloric tradition. Stop it. Get some help. *Odin* is probably one of the few I would venerate if I went Pagan. Him & Thor give _actual_ "sons of thunder" vibes and I relate to that through my roots and ancestry. :) ...Plus, Chris Hemsworth. Just makes me happy, is all... _The Boy Who Lived_ did nothing wrong, and I forgive Rowling for now being out-of-touch, (more readily than _Meyer,_ at least...) ...and as for Ha'Shem, let Him speak for Himself, however that sounds to all y'all. The 'Y' names are considered sacred to yours truly, but the 'J' ones...? Aren't. ...go nuts, Gentlemen.

The guy who wrote him did it poorly

^most people don't but anyway. Kids raised by Muslims walk away from _their_ supposed faith, too.

I was angry at first because most of the people I confided in and trusted that they would atleast listen to my ideas and reasons for leaving and respect my desires decided that I was a sinner or Satan worshipper instead of calming down and listening. Now I've found a community full of calm and rational people I can look up to and are generally well versed in the things I love.

I've never seen that abridged series. Is it funny?

Enjoy speaking to the floor for me g

@@buttermoth5861 Relax a little, would ya?

@@lukebell4738 it was a joke lol

@@buttermoth5861 I get that, and maybe I'm reading into it too much, but it feels like you're belittling them for trying to be supportive.

@@lukebell4738 eh, I mean by saying you’re praying for atheists it’s kinda belittling our beliefs don’t you think?

Hey! How do you feel after getting the vaccine ? I would love an update ! Hope you and your family are doing well❤

@@kxkxsxi6305 Thanks for asking for an update. I’m doing alright and I got the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine. There’s a little ache-ness at the spot where I got the shot and I’m still waiting to see if I feel some side effects in the next few days. I was worried about getting the shot cause I don’t like needles unless I’m being numbed up at the dentist (yeah, I’m weird). But it was just a sting and I don’t need to get another dose.

I put on captions and hope it’s accurate. Hope you’re handling the shot well!!

@@rachel_sj stay safe out there and always wear mask

Try playing with my friends it’ll change your mind. Massive fights break out. Dogs have been stolen. It’s madness. lol

@@arbington in all honesty id fight my party members 4 a puppy

The Boys in general is pretty funny, Karl Urban is pretty good at the dead pan humour

I agree

I'm just looking at a few now, and I would class them along with those of Paulogia, Viced Rhino, and Genetically Modified Sceptic for their humanity and emotional sensitivity (Viced Rhino's a bit more sarcastic, but just as humane). Two of those are, like this one, Canadian, which might have something to do with it. The fundamentalist churches that are so politically powerful in the U.S. are insignificant in Canada, where the mainstream of Christians are not aggressive or unreasonable. The culture also has a strong streak of individualism, where people do not put up with others poking their noses into their business or preaching at them. I would also recommend the British videos of Qualia Soup and Theramin Trees.

He seems like a fun guy.

Kevin Sorbo is very desperate to be noticed. He made himself a laughingstock in Twitter when he said 'Remember when we tested the flu with tea, soup, and saltines instead of communism.' He basically said being prescribed medicine for any illness is communism. He got blacklisted for bad behavior. Many young actors and actresses have overtaken him, including Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. These two can act circles around him. Wait until he hears one of them is working with Lucy Lawless. His head will explode.

@@SmallDragon7804 And Lucy Lawless played a LESBIAN. Shocking.
