You're Living in a Horror Story 

When I was 11 or 12 I lay awake crying in bed wondering if the Bible’s promise of Heaven and eternal life was all a sick lie and God created us just to torture us.

Demons are real because they're really just humans.. trying to shift the blame for their own evils..

"Isn't quite human," is the reason autistic people are abused..

The garden of evil and the talking snake hit me when I was about six. I first heard the story and I thought, grown ups believe in that? When I first became aware of hell, it explained a lot to me. Why all these hardworking, no nonsense, farmers would consent to go to sit for an hour and listen to the silly snake story. Hell. Dark Matter, do you think growing up believing in hell makes people more callous about everything?

This is your finest work to date. Thank you so much for what you do!

Yeah, Pascal's wager was thoroughly ridiculed even in Pascal's time LOL

I find the stupidity of humanity to be boundless. As if someone can flip a switch and believe or disbelieve something without proof that can't be explained away. Doesn't matter what the belief is, if don't believe something you can't go: Oh, I believe now... And trying to fake belief is disingenuous, it's like these types of people don't care if you believe of not, so long as you at least feed into their indoctrination and don't make them question their delusions. Pretty sure by their belief, you still go to hell if you pretend to believe when you don't.

What a shit thing to say to YOUR CHILD.

Says the cusser. 🐗🐗

i agree. I was told this by my own mother all the time. Its unsympathetic and unempathetic is inhumane and wrong.

All the time reading a book that says that Jews are God's chosen people.

Wait what- that's actually scary. Talking about how wrong it is but then again ignoring the fact that in a way that it's morally ok

*Constant Murders of GOD's TRUTH!!!! Can't Fight IT!!!* *WiLL VOTE every Re . >Pub.

There are three schools of thought on the Holocaust. 1) Dual Covenant: Both Christians and Jews can get into Heaven 2) Judged by the Light Given Them: Good people who never hear about God can still get into Heaven which essentially turns evangelism into the most evil thing a human could ever do. 3) Exclusivism: Jesus only died for believers so all the Jews are currently in Hell. "Human beings committed the Holocaust so every human has the potential to be a monster but we worship a God who is currently doing something infinitely worse than the Holocaust."

@@storba3860 We believed in a combination of the second two. Definitely not dual covenant. And yeah, it's ironic. Temporary torture like the Holocaust is evil when humans do it but eternal torture when done by God isn't? What?? One of the lynchpins for me when doubting the existence of God was Hell. No loving God would torture people forever. There is no justification for it. Torture is evil, full stop. An all loving God would never do that to people. I lost my fear of hell, and along with it, my faith, because in the end I was only staying out of fear. Any God that tortures people I have no interest in worshipping.

She definitely did, because what you quoted by her I have heard many many times, its extremely common for Christians to say that, and even want it to happen soon.

They dont believe that the people raptured die they are just taken away. Though it would cause alot of deaths because cars wouldnt stop just because the driver vanished

Yes because it means all the main characters (including her of course) of reality itself chosen by the inventor of the universe get their reward while the heathen NPCs are punished for all eternity for the grave sin of “concluding the evidence was insufficient for belief”. Taking pleasure in that is disgusting.

@@jonathanhamilton5520it’s possible that the rapture has already happened, but no one noticed because nobody made it to heaven (/s)

@@Kelley_Xpretty sure that’s true. I believe we’re all in hell and have been for centuries but just can’t remember anything

Imagine believing that a loving god could do that ?

I know, I know. My sweet little mother said to me, in her grief after my dad's death, I guess daddy is in hell now. My daddy was generous and good and atheist.

@@Doriesep6622 I'm sorry you and countless others go through that

@@Doriesep6622 I wouldn't want to hang out for an eternity with a being that would toss a good and generous person into a place of endless torture over a matter of satisfying its fragile ego. That would be another kind of hell that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I'm sorry for your loss.

Well to make you feel better, maybe they just sad at least during the funeral...

In my head that sounded like: I ain't afraid of no aliens! Taaa-da! Taaa-da! Taaa-da! Taaa-da! Ta, da, dududu. :p But yeah, I've been trying to explain to people that if people vote against human rights while saying they want freedom, well being, and safety, I can't trust them with anything, ever. If people say they love me and tell me I go to hell, that's gaslighting, not love. How am I supposed to trust such people?

no such thing as aliens… it’s in the name ALIEN that prooves there are none.

What aliens? 👽👾👽

The ones trying to kill me. They are real.

I'm not afraid of the dead. Is the living that scares me.

All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY

@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 you only stain Christianity by constantly posting the same thing over and over again expecting shit to change.

@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 it almost seems like your whole world is all about Jesus/the lord/god and I would just encourage you to find some balance in your life. Too much of any one thing is usually unhealthy.

​@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 Nah i'll pass on some dead insurrectionist who skipped towns and stole several times. Your Jebus fulfilled nothing and wasn't a mashiach/messiah. He wasn't anointed and actually was a very bad guy. An enemy to God and mankind alike. He commanded for his apostate followers to slay nonbelievers at his feet in 1 Corinthians 9: 20. He wanted to destroy the family unit in Matthew 10: 34-35, Luke 14: 26 and so on. Hell like your Hellenistic Jesus is strictly pagan. Ripped from religions before it chasing foreign ideologies.

@@juliana.x0x0 You can't get enough of God for all goodness comes from Him I have some underlying health issues which can lead to premature death, so I heard about fasting can help fix many issues so I decided to give it a go by dry fasting (no food or water) I could only do it for 1-2 days a week without feeling too weak, but a few months in my heart started racing and it let weaker and weaker. When I would eat something unhealthy it would race hard. One night it was racing hard and a tall figure in white appeared and was praying towards the picture of Jesus in my room, he said something like “please don’t let him die from a heart attack”, then soon after he disappeared and I heard the audible voice of God tell me some stuff then that voice stopped then I felt my body being lifted and life being pumped back into my heart and I was healed thank God, Jesus is God and He is very loving and a miracle worker.

Religion is a mental disorder.

Same experience here as a fellow autistic.

Same here I have the same experience as you it really is hell on earth

Sorry you have to deal with that, man.

Fellow autistic here too and it sucks that we have to be subjected to the wiles of the pod people. Even when I come across someone sympathetic, I still get condescending compassion in some capacity.

I have to wonder: how do you know this? How do you know that people are denying you because of autism?

Agree with you. Put it this way I'm sure you'll love your own kids unconditionally one day. What the hell is wrong with your backward Dad? What a twit he is.

From his point of view, the only way to save you from eternal torture is to say mean things to you. He think that with enough peer presure from him, you can be convinced and saved. Thats the sad part, that he believes he is doing a good thing.

The thing that gets me about eternal torture is that no finite transgression can possibly justify infinite punishment. Even if someone is as deliberately evil as possible, to as many people as possible, the suffering inflicted is still going to be finite. It would be preferable to endure the combined suffering of everyone who's ever lived, than any degree of punishment for eternity.

@@timewave02012 An infante punishment for a finite crime, is how that's usually stated. Its truly unbelievable that Christians believe this is justice. Their ideas of justice (definitely of 2000 years ago or more) seems to be around the Dark Ages up to the 14th century, of witches and evil demons running around our bodies! Its as if they have completely lost their minds.

@@sl1trr327 People underestimate hell, it is bad because it is separation from God. In a vision I was shown a person who claimed to be Christian but started fornication (premarital sex), He died relatively young and went to hell forever (1 Cor 6:9). God’s holiness means He will not coexist with sinners forever therefore Repent (Luke 13:3) and have a relationship with Jesus.

Christian lore is pretty cool if you take it as the mythology it is.

Playing Diablo 2 as a kid was the start of my atheistic journey. There was a boss called Baal in the game and when i googled his name i found out that in some old religions Baal is what christians call "The devil" and i also found out that a lot of religions disagree on about everything. It introduced me to the idea that the religion im being taught in school is only 1 interpretation. Dark matter videos was my next step into atheism. :)

I think of them more as hostages trying to convince others it's better to be held at gun point forever & give into the Stockholm syndrome rather then get shot with the gun cuz they have the same choice be hostage or bust.

​@@OchiiDinUmbraa Baal isn't the devil though lol, it's a Lord of Hell. Also it's a old god.

I'm a "Christian", and honestly I agree. Lately I've been kinda questioning some of these things that a " loving " god would do.

Similar to my family. None of us were theists. We use to lie to people (school etc) and say our religion was 'Church of England', we aren't from England and I (to this day) still don't know if that's a real church LOL My parents told us kids to just say that to shut them up LOL However there was no removal of religion on birth certificates or anything, since none of us are baptised, so where it says Religion? its just blank. Whilst I tend not appreciate my parents (now both gone) anyway. But thankfully they and their parents were never religious.

@@kimsland999 the church of england is real! henry the eigth set it up specifically so he could get a divorce since the catholics weren't cool with that. He rode the wave of protestantism to actually get it pushed through

@@kimsland999 The church of england is real. It applies to people who follow beliefs of anglicanism which is basically catholicism but it is different because King Henry VIII split with the church so he could divorce his wife.

People “choose” hell because of Free will! Grovel before me, love me, or else! Some freedom, god is good. So generous.

Your comment is ironic, since you actually technically go to hell because you chose not to. Hell (contrary to popular belief) is actually just a place where God and anything associated with him does not exist. If you don’t want to be with God for eternity, he won’t force you.

@@h.a.z.m.a.t5072 The god you were told about designed you. Designed you to be so weak to sin that 90%+ of his children would suffer for eternity. Put apples in the garden, provided minimal physical clues to escape torture. Demanded blood sacrifices of the cutest most innocent things possible. I really really hope the creator of our universe is not the dude from the Saw horror movies... That god knowingly created a game. A suffering and pleasure filled game where everyone tries to guess the correct belief so they won't be tortured when they leave stage 1 of the game. Why make the universe that way? Why call them all your "children" even though you know you made them intentionally dumb and selfish enough that they mostly ignore the rumor you started containing the key to escape torture. I am only willing to worship a loving all powerful god.

@@isidoreaerys8745 From the moment the universe started an omnipotent god would know that virtually all of his children would suffer for eternity, and many of them for the lifetime before also. Why press play on a simulation where the outcome is "almost every conscious being is tortured for eternity" ? Why write a simulation that pretty much just tortures everyone while telling the inhabitents you love them? That's deeply fucked up and I would never worship a god like that if I have a choice. Your church has turned into a guru life advice front. Almost all write a normal guru advice series and work in some related bible verses. The main focus of your church should be how to actually have a relationship with god or at least communicate. Ever hear tips on mental state or environment? Ever see your church doing scientific like inquiries into how people are able to do it? Random audience members asking questions? Religion (mostly abramhamic) have ruined spirituality and belief in god for thousands of years. Society so traumatized the field of science became overly closed minded, everyone turning atheist. Sadly most lean harder on a similar belief system with childhood indoctrination, tithing and war: statism. They so traumatized by religion that they freak out when you point this out. Write a list of 20 evil actions. Now circle on the ones your government is currently doing or funding. Now circle all the ones the Christian god has done. If you notice yourself giving long ecplaintions trying not to circle something , that's mental gymnastics, a clue there is a painful truth you are hiding from yourself. Go after God scientifically and personally instead of behavioral ritusls that spread. There is suppressed science

Lol. aethiests are all stuck on the negative and gloss over the positive. What a sad worldview athiesm is.

you forgot about Heaven. :/

Negativity bias. What about when Jesus suffered for us?? Also, there are no contradictions thats just an assumption.

Actually that would be antitheist. Atheist don't believe in the god that allegedly loves you.

​@drillyourarguments your arguments are bad, heaven sounds terrible, why would I want to be surrounded by pedophiles forcibly made to praise god for all eternity while having lost all desire, also Jesus suffered for very little time when you consider he was just going to sit on the throne of heaven since he was god in the flesh, ultimately makes his so called sacrifice meaningless

Entirely true

especially the religion that says that we are monkeys and are doomed to the Eternal Blackness.

In islam its even worse since not only doing something wrong will give you anxiety because you will go to hell but also not praying 5 times a day will make you go to hell , and you have to do wash every time before you pray which make it more hard to constantly be doing it. Imagine the fear that i have to face every day. Also i must believe to be honest because god is the most logical answer to this life because someone like god must have organized everything, i mean how everything is organized like this without god ?

My philosophy is to sinply live and enjoy your life If others treat you well, return that kindness If people treat you badly, show no mercy

Politely interact is indeed the most frustating part, because how to reason at all with someone who is able to mention eternal suffering is waiting for you because you dont believe what they believe with a friendly voice and smile and maybe even end it with saying they still will pray for you nontheless... You are always the sinner in their eyes regardless how holy you have lifed your life.

Do...not...engage. I no longer engage with crazed, immoral people if and when I can control that. Life has become much easier to cope with since making that choice. Unless you're dependent on others, choose yourself and set yourself free from their sickness and its influence.

​​@@Fokkonot all of us believe that though...in fact most Christians don't even emphasize hell anymore. Many of the Christians I know sin daily.. it sounds like you guys have an irrational generalization and fear of people who may believe

The part you conveniently forgot to point out is that we should rejoice because that pain Jesus went through means we get eternal life. I understand that the story of Jesus dying is a story not exactly for kids in the sense it is gruesome. Generally what happens is you don’t tell them the full extent of how painful crucifixion is, keep it as child friendly as possible. I know this because I’ve grown up Christian myself and am still one to this day. You learn later on the extent of how brutal his sacrifice was.

@@h.a.z.m.a.t5072 Yet as far as it goes, it is a finite payment for the infinite. Plus, I can’t buy the idea of having a scapegoat. If I truly loved Jesus, I would not dare to burden my sins on him.

Detective Rust Cohle - True Detective Season 1: "If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward, then, brother, that person is a piece of sh*t - and I'd like to get as many of them out in the open as possible."

​@@hackman669Roman religion was less fanatical and more tolerant, quite frankly. The Roman Empire was far more religiously diverse with many coexisting cults. The Holy Roman Empire ruled by Christians by comparison was religiously intolerant. The Cathars in France were completely wiped out by the Catholic Church for diverging from mainstream Catholics.

@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 What was the point of that? Don't you think that since I used to be a Christian that I already know the doctrine. Besides, I studied the Bible and religion in college, and it's a good bet that I know the tenets of Christianity better than you do. (My Junior thesis was "The Distinctive Characteristics of Pre- and Post- Babylonian Exile Judaism and the Influence of Polytheism on the Concept of Deliverance", so the deliverence/redemption/salvation theology is a bit of a specialty for me.) All you've done here is restate those beliefs I just criticized as being absurd. For example: Original sin - why am I held responsible for the actions of others? That doesn't seem to be a core principle of justice. Did God have no other choice but to condemn all of humanity, and how is original sin passed down, or did God have to put original sin in each eternal soul? How did a serpent slip by an omniscient God to tempt people who didn't yet know good from evil and couldn't tell whether it was the serpent that was good or God who was evil? We'll can't just ignore that serpents don't talk and already crawled on their belly, meaning we'd have to read the story as myth and not fact. Add to that the DNA evidence disproving Adam and Eve and the original sin story is further proven to be myth. Original sin is a myth that shifts the blame from God to Man, likely in an attempt to resolve the problems caused by the presumed existence of evil. It's not a real thing - it's a superstition - and it makes redemption unnecessary and makes Jesus and the resurrection superfluous. But suppose there really was original sin. How exactly does blood magic and human sacrifice work? It seems to be a requirement of all the ancient gods that some animal must be slaughtered on an alter to get the gods to do what people desired, from forgiving anger to winning wars. Why, exactly, did God need sacrifices just like all the other gods did, and how does that sacrifice influence an omniscient God? How did Jesus' death conquer death when that same "god rising from the dead" trick didn't seem to work for any of the other gods. Maybe you can see where I'm leading: I want to know what criteria you can apply to all religions and their gods equally that can determine whether a religion is true or false. All religions claim to be true, but none have any more or less evidence for their gods than any other. Why should I believe the Bible over the Hindu Vedas or the Zoroastrian Avestas? I hope you have chosen the right religion and the right god, because if some god does exist and you've picked the wrong one... the Zoroastrian hell makes the Christian hell look like a kindergarten playground. > > > Also, when someone tells you they have experience religious trauma, don't you think it's a bit insensative and inconsiderate to try to push religion on them again, without even acknowledging their concerns? Aren't you ashamed or embarrassed by the crimes of your religion, from slaughtering fellow Christians to the Westboro Baptists' graveside protests? Don't worry, I'm not holding you personally responsible for the actions of others like your God does, but it seems that your compulsion to proselytize overwhelms all other considerations such as the virtue of compassion. > Perhaps also you have not heard the cliché that it's pointless to quote the Bible to people who don't believe in the Bible. You may as well quote from Mother Goose. It shows an inability or unwillingness to see things from another person"s perspective - showing a lack of reason as well as a lack of empathy. Please don't condemn me to hell for not believing in your delusion. I find it offensive and consider it a form of harrasment. But I'd be happy to discuss theology or why I think Christianity and all other theistic religions lacks merit, which is the purpose of this channel.

@@derreckwalls7508 I have seen lots of supernatural stuff, God (Jesuss ) Has appeared to me and i got a miracle In one of my visitations to hell, Jesus showed me a person who was a Christian (Jesus said “he was a Christian like you”). But the guy unfortunately started sleeping around (1 cor 6:9). He died middle aged and went to hell forever it was dark but Jesus lit up the area, he asked Jesus for another chance but unfortunately it was too late for him, Pretty sad, Repent and ask Jesus to help you with your struggles (James 4:7)

It’s a bit easier for me because I was 16 when I was force to get indoctrinated, and then I noticed all of this stuff early, so I don’t exactly have the same feelings as you do, even though I wish I could. I didn’t really do much though when I was forced to go to church school (I had to take classes after mass on Sundays in the same church building), and I was sort of becoming more and more of an atheist during that period. Regardless, the point I want to make here is that it’s easy for me to do that, but at the same time I tried to be respectful. Like I don’t see the monster faces on every person as shown in this video, although in some aspects I do. Especially throughout tons of atheist videos where I sometimes think it would be somewhat reasonable to paint them that kind of brush. But again, at the same time I’m trying to convince myself of the opposite as at the end of the day, everyone is human. But I’m slowly starting to think that shouldn’t be an excuse anymore. The only thing left for me to say is a question: What is the best way to handle dealing with theist who react or say stuff like this while making up excuses like free will to justify their religion?

@@eramo607productions6 I'm not clear on your last question. What is the "stuff like this" theists are saying? (I don't recall specifically what the video was about.)

@@WilliamParkerer It's internal, not external. All religion is based on internal psychological need. If people don't believe there's something outside then giving their existence value, they can't sustain psychologically. People don't need God to explain the world, they need him to justify their existence. Jesus doesn't need to receive praise, people need to give it. Since there is no Jesus, they make him up. And since he's made up, he can be everywhere, at all times, to everybody. Plus he can eliminate all your troubles and remove your fear of death. Ultimately, everyone is living in a fantasy all the time.

@@WilliamParkererthe dude only stayed dead for a weekend! And he was merely one of the tens of thousands of political insurgents crucified to death publicly by the Roman state. It was an extremely common way to die in first century Palestine. It would be like a religion forming around Travon Martin in 2000 years and the future people denying the constant terror of police gun violence on our communities in present day.

What a combo. Would leave crazy town if possible.

So objective morality comes from God. God is ultimately good and good means moral perfection. And we know right from wrong because God has created us with a moral compass, and a conscience (con=with science=knowledge) yet some people’s consciences can be seared and will have a skewed discernment on right from wrong. It’s so important to consider eachother as fellow human beings created in God image, designed to love and live synergistically keeping in mind that we all are having different experiences. Jesus Christ, (100% God, 100% man) is the best example of love. He is One who has and can walk in anyone’s shoes. About 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ of Nazareth sacrificed Himself on the cross to die with our sins and defeat death itself and rose again from the dead because death could not hold him… I mean HES GOD anyway, nothing can hold the Everlasting Father of Lights, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End who has no beginning nor end!! Jesus knows exactly how you feel, how I feel, how everyone feels going through the valleys and mountains of this life on earth. And the reason He humbled Himself to His own creation and became obedient unto death was because Jesus took all of our sins and the weight of it onto Himself. He took every sin that you and I and everyone else’s thats ever existed and died for it so that we wouldn’t have to undergo the wrath of God for our sins. Not one of us is good and that’s why we needed our Saviors perfect life’s blood to be shed for us that we could be cleansed from all unrighteousness. I hope this is making sense because this is so important to know! What we all have in common as humanity is that we are all created by the One and Only Living God, we all have one problem ans that is sin, and we all need salvation by God through repentance and trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Savior. He loves you so so so much, and everyone in the world! If you were the only one on earth Jesus still would have died in your place. The greatest love was shown on that cross. We could never perfectly live up to the 10 commandments (the objective moral law) that God wrote and gave, but we need the law because it reveals our sin nature and leads us to the solution through Jesus’ death and resurrection on the cross. Without the shedding of Jesus’ perfect blood there is no remission of sins. Gods Word calls the moral law, our schoolmaster. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and God is more than gracious enough to extend His tender mercy and grace by offering us eternal life with Him and everyone else who becomes born again in His Kingdom. ✨ Sin separated us from God and Jesus Christ is the bridge back to fellowship with God :) hallelujah 🙌🏼 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - ‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬‬ We broke the moral law, but Jesus paid the fine. If you were in a court of law and had a stack of speeding fines and someone walked in and paid them you could walk free and it’s legal and just of the judge because someone else had paid the fine. That’s what Jesus did for us on the cross. He paid our debt! If we hold on to our sins we will naturally die with them and they will drag us to hell because all sin has to be punished and it would grieve my heart greatly to even think about you going to hell or anyone else for that matter so this is why I tell you this. But, if we let go of our sins and trust in Jesus alone we have a promise from the God who cannot lie, we have everlasting life and will receive the Holy Spirit and He will change the desires of our heart to desire the things of God and what is objectively morally good :) what a beautiful thing isn’t it? 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” I know I typed a lot and there’s so much more i could share! But I really hope you take time to read this and think about my motive with sharing this with you. God is calling you to Himself! If you need prayer for anything at all don’t hesitate to message me. Thank you so much and I hope you think about this all with a sense of urgency because your soul is SO valuable and I’d love to see you in Heaven when we’re on the other side of eternity.

Christian’s are not perfect and we (should) never claim to be. I am sorry for your negative experiences but I think everyone needs to understand that Christian’s still do bad stuff because we are human as well. As for your “death is the end” mentality. This would mean that nothing matters, if everything will end then why does anything you do matter? If there is even the remote chance of heaven or something else existing you should search for it, even if you waste your life finding it, life wouldn’t mean anything anyway.

Athiesm and evolutionism are the real tyrant idelogies. Moral athiests apparently learn nothing from stalin, mao, the evolutionist called hitler, marxism, gobbels, xi, and more famous evil athiests.

Catholicism believes many unBiblical things. e.g. purgatory. Expect bad to come from it. Real good found in BIBLICAL Christianity.

What is "openly atheist?" I mean, I don't believe in any gods. I also don't believe in unicorns. I don't feel the need to be "open" about either.

Lol not true. I am a Christian and I get ridiculed for it. I'm the one who is afraid to share my beliefs because most people have such a strong, negative, aggressive reaction. I hardly know anyone who is Christian and the people I've met who claim to be Christian are just as bad and evil as the openly anti God people.

@@TheSnatchbuckler I can only guess here but as someone who became athestic recently, you'd be surprised how many mentions and invocations of god you bump into on a regular basis lol I think that being "openly atheist" would be to refute, shut down or outright disagree with these statements, which is perhaps what OP does. I, on the other hand just kinda awkwardly agree and dismiss them😅I don't really wanna deal with the reactions that these people will have...you know? It's easier to say the simple thing to keep the situation moving. One day, I do plan to be open as well but now doesn't seem the right time.

Emotion? yes. logic? no.

try to use an original argument against Christianity challenge (impossible)

Of course they will come back with the “disobeying an infinite being deserves an infinite punishment” response which makes no sense.

@@drillyourarguments How is infinite punishment for a finite amount of sins even logical? It's interesting that you all claim your god is both all-loving and all-forgiving, but torturing his own creations forever proves that he's neither of those things. Have you considered that your god either doesn't exist, or is inherently evil? Here's a bible verse to prove that god is indeed, the origin of evil itself: “There is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things” (Isaiah 45:6-7, KJV 1900)

My views largely aligns with his but there do be much hatred and emotion between the lines. I wouldn't necessarily dehumanize the believers, believing in stories is the very characteristic of the animal that is homo sapiens. In fact scientists believe it was the basis for intelligence. They just have a different set of evaluation system.

Good except this part: _Atheist is not a kind word that I like to describe myself as_ You have an outdated view on atheism, likely inherent from a Christian upbringing. Openly stating you are atheist (no belief in any of this God filth nonsense) generally shows you can reason, you likely have secular values, you probably sway towards humanist rights of equality especially towards equality of the sexes and children to be seen and heard. Whilst atheism is merely a response to 1 single claim. It inherently shows a person who can think and is not normally gullible or naïve. Being an atheist is something to welcome, to be proud of, to be you.

@@kimsland999 If I call myself atheist is not because I refuse to believe that there is something else up above what we see as the physical world, but because I believe that a god cannot be, and it's just a religious concept to screw people. I believe there is way more up above the so called physical world. I tend to be into Buddha's philosophy. Not religion, but philosophy. Speaking of which, it is the only atheist religion in the world. Haha

I also grew up JW. I am 43. My parents are still in it and still try to get me to come back. I knew when I was 9, that religion was not real. I knew that horrible people started it and continue to push it til this day. I refused to raise my children in the abuse of religion

@@deller5924 Even the Buddhist's philosophy is absurd, merely look up the crazy things Buddhists believe. We don't harp on Buddhism however, as due to its weak religion it doesn't tend to cause harm onto society as say Christianity and Islam does. In saying that, if you have irrational beliefs not supported by evidence or reasoning, then this shows someone who could easily be burnt through gullibility. I highly recommend to follow the evidence where it leads us and not believe in your outdated misguided guesses. Buddhism, one of those pathetic religions based on zero evidence. Yes they make me laugh too.

Ahem

It's really too bad that most people lose their minds without religion. I am an atheist, but the 2010s and 2020s have shown me that atheism is a dead end for most people. Without god, how does one find their way? There is nothing at the centre to put everything in perspective. I manage it, but most people don't. Even moral philosophers like Sam Harris lose their mind and all sense of moral direction once they dispense with god. Again, I am an atheist, but I must conclude that religion evolved out of necessity. In other words, humans without religion tend to become extinct. Evolution is cruel.

@@trequor I strongly disagree. Every positive aspect that people attribute to being part of a religion can be accomplished via secular means minus all the harmful and false baggage. Community, love, mutual support. These are all completely possible without religious trappings.

@@trequor What a broad, baseless, unsupported statement.

When I first read Genesis 1 and 2 as a kid, I couldn't shake the thought that it was just another creation myth. A deity (God) poofs the sun, moon, and stars into existence? Just like that? In that order?

Same in my country as yours. I too have corrected others regarding theism of all stripes. Here theism doesn't hurt society, yes we still have the child abuse Catholic Priests, and a single act of Muslim horror. Oh we had a footballer who publicly said gays are an abomination, it was like entire country news for a week, since nobody says that, well no one in public. I could probably find a handful of individual fanatics, but it would be hard to do, maybe if I include over many years. However, in America I'm aware that its an every day occurrence, plus Christian billboards everywhere! it would be horrible for them. I think if someone stood on a box in a university here and shouted the end is nigh and Jesus is love LOL, pretty sure police would take him away within 5mins, likely mental disorder, but at very least disturbing the peace.

@@kimsland999 Interesting. Which country are you from? I see some small christian groups in a town square (Brno is a city of 300 thousand people) with speakers singing and preaching, that Jesus is here for everybody. Those people are generally ignored. Even in my catholic years, I always thought that they are hurting religion more than helping it, because people see these people as weirdos. Fanaticism in Czechia is really REALLY low. Czechs are incredibly passive. We even toppled Communists without blood. We just jingled with keychains 😀

@@Staremperor Australia

Yep

My parents never ever had a Bible in the house since they were atheists. When I first began reading about such things as Christianity and their Bible etc etc. I honestly felt no one in their right mind would believe in this utter nonsense. I remember my 1st conversations with Christians online and saying: Wait you really believe this nonsense? It took years to work out the believers did really believe in outdated absurd nonsense, and not long after realizing that the men clergy of the church must be deceiving the congregation. To this day I still get shocked when people reply to me and say Jesus is love, or millions of other inconsistent irrational nonsense back to me. I have to stop for a second and remember they are complete twits.

Properly vaccinated. That is a problem in large atheist communities. They lose resistance to religion, so a stronger or more stealthy version of indoctrination is super effective.

@@Richdragon4 Your comment is in regards to the OP's quote: " _innoculation against the faith_ " (referring to reading the Bible) The concern in your post is the use of the word: "vaccinated", which tends to be a common Christian concern about the science behind Covid vaccinations. I replied because others may have read your comment in a different way. By using the word _vaccinated_ followed by: "That is a problem in large atheist communities" Could easily be looked upon as one of those common Christian nonsense claims of ignorance. I had to read it twice to know what you meant.

@@kimsland999 Oh sorry but I refuse to change my comment just because of friggin antivaxers. They should suffer from whooping cough and recover to teach them how dangerous vaccination is. Its danger is autoimmune diseases because of how effective they are in preventing illnesses. Horrible.

She tried to save you from, what is at least in her mind, eternity in hell. You laughed in her face after you read one or two stories over and deciding the whole thing is useless. It is your choice if you want to be a Christian, but you don’t have to insult those who believe they are doing you good because they love you. How much would someone have to hate you if you believed their was an eternal hell and heaven and not try to get you into heaven?

Actually, the majority are still in denial over that very thing.

@@TheMercilessEye I think people are waking up. It's becoming obvious, with millions of excess deaths all over the world, wars, and many other things.

@willia extremity in what? the athiests of stalins ruzzia and xi's china are pretty extreme dont you think??

Disagree. People genuinely believe it. I know because I genuinely truly did. There are two options other than insanity: you constantly use mental blockers and justifications and distractions to avoid insanity (my case), or you have all conscience purged out of you.

Interesting. Maybe it helps that our brains are not really able to contemplate eternity? @@thomasfoster1181

I think it's the same with police brutality. They just don't want to understand or see it.

Christians are weak though, it's about Jews and Muslims.

I live in a mostly Muslim area (cheap rent). Anyway at work most are Muslim, I spoke to one guy and asked why he believed in such nonsense? He said: Because Muhammad broke the Moon in 2, and we know its true because he put it back together again. How the fk can I converse with these twits?

Likely because you missed the point. It is a basic tenet of their faith that all people are born into sin. Based on that simple concept, all people are inherently evil. What they are probably baffled at is that you are so quick to call Christians evil for what they believe, while at the same time unable to see your own evil staring right back at you. Second, you are calling them evil for believing that certain people deserve to be punished for all eternity. But that is wrong as well. All people without exception deserve to be punished for all eternity, because all people are inherently evil, without exception. This is the base state without Jesus. All people are damned. They do not like this. They do not see it as a good thing. It frightens them more than anything. They do not want to suffer any more than you do. But they believe their god will forgive them. They believe that if their spent for their sins, god will wipe their slate clean and accept them into heaven. According to the Christian faith, god is not an All Loving god. God is vengeful. God will punish and punish justly for those that deserve it. We all deserve eternal punishment. We will all meet that fate, unless we accept Jesus as our savior. They want everyone, everyone to accept Jesus. They want everyone to be saved. They want everyone to live in happiness for eternity. You laugh at that sentiment and call them evil, when all they want for you is eternal happiness in heaven. That is why they do not understand you. That is particularly why you cannot get through to them. You would tear down their beliefs and condemn them to eternal damnation. According to them, you are the devil at their door. You are tempting to turn their backs on salvation. You have succumbed to your inherent evil. While they strive to overcome it through gods grace.
