Whose God Is More Real? Mormons Or Street Preachers?

- Street preachers are usually loud, and in your face... but occasionally, you come across a calm preacher that won't make your blood boil when you listen to them. When Jeff here speaks to a couple of Mormons, he makes it seem like they're worshipping the wrong type of god, and that his is the right one... and the mormons stick up for their god and Jospeh Smith - so whose god is more real?

Two Mormons and street preacher walk into a bar; the atheist ducks.
And the devotee of Hella rips the bar out of its mounts and proceeds to beat the two mormons and the street preacher over the head with it.
@@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith geez😂😅
The atheist doesn’t necessarily duck; they’re just content to watch the proverbial fur fly and laugh at the the calamity howler and the two Mormons. That’s entertainment!
I can see Mormons and street preachers losing their heads about this - because of that bar. Just saying 😅
Weak atheist then...
The best way to debate street preachers is don't. Just ignore them, and save your brain cells.
Or get another crazy and let them bole it out. Tell them they will listen to the winner ;)
The streetpreacher prepared to stand there on that day, he is where he wants to be
you are most likely in a transitional state, you are going somewhere, you have a time restraint, are less prepared.
nobody is gonna win the game, but you'll have to forfeit and move away from the game at some time.
Especially reformed presuppers. They are the most insufferable folk
I just flip them off and say "Hail Hella!"
My favorite tactic is to tell them I'm a nihilist.
All their arguments seem to fizzle out after the second or third "Doesn't matter." or "I don't care."
Not all religions can be true but they can all be false.

"You have to believe in Jesus and you will be saved and go to Heaven." "I believe in Jesus" "NOT LIKE THAT!"
Wrong JESUS!!!
"Believe in Jesus to be saved (from what!?)" is the dumbest, most vague thing I've ever heard.
Do what is right. Be kind. Treat others as you would like to be treated. There. Simple. No Jesus needed. I f*cking hate religion. I was raised in it. It makes people insane. It makes them abdicate all logic.

It honestly felt like they were comparing Batman to Iron Man without realizing they’re both fictional 😂
Except they wouldn’t agree with you that their beliefs are fictional. And since you haven’t proven that either of their beliefs are fictional, what is your point?
@@kevinx7015 the burden of proof is on them, until they prove it otherwise HE is a fictional character... So what's YOUR point?
@@andresvillagra6746 I'd say you are arguing with somebody who has no clue about the burden of proof.
@@andresvillagra6746 Where is your proof that shows for a fact that the burden of proof is on them?
Because you say so just like you say that God is fictional for a fact because you said so instead of proving that is the case?
The burden of proof is not on the person who is claiming belief BECAUSE it’s understood that those claims are their beliefs not facts.
It’s ridiculous to figure a person who is claiming their beliefs are not their beliefs but are instead facts when that is not what is claimed to begin with.
Now the one who is claiming that God is fictional, and doesn’t say that it’s their belief that God is fictional, then one can assume that one is claiming for a fact that God is fictional.
Now there is where one does has the burden of proof BECAUSE WHAT MAKES A FACT A FACT IS EVIDENCE.
@@kevinx7015 because you're making the claim, that a god exists, burden is on you because that's how logic works. Without you presenting evidence, we just say "your idea is not convincing."
Also, it's not really batman vs iron man, because both of these fictional characters are in the same expanded universe. It's like arguing which Batman is more real, Micheal Keaton or Adam west.
This is like two children on the school-playground debating who'se dad can beat up the other one's dad and making up magic superpowers for them along the way, with the only difference being that their dads actually exist.

The Bible gives two completely mutually exclusive stories about Jesus' birth that didn't even take place in the same year and he was trying to use that book as proof that another Jesus fandom is wrong.
Plus it’s written by four unknown men decades to a century after the supposed fact. The first book, named Mark, is written by someone unfamiliar with the region and the traditions, the next two copy and embellish, and the third one completely went JC Superstar.
Additionally, that writer mentioned people who either had died or weren’t yet at the supposed time of the Nativity, to say nothing getting the corresponding events he mentioned completely wrong.
it's weird they say convicted not convinced, "it convicted me"? No, it convinced you.
When I heard that I wanted to say: “Of course you exercise faith that some deity ‘convicted’ you. If you thought that he had ‘acquitted’ you, that would make even less sense and you’d realize that you don’t need to have some deity to use as a crutch in order for you to live your life.”
What's so funny about this is these are just two random mormons and a seminary trained preacher.
In a Pew Research study, it turned out the only group that consistently answers questions about the bible better than atheists are Mormons.
Any member of beardy dude's congregation would get metaphorically curbstomped in a scripture debate with these two randos.
I find that amusing.
Edit: spelling
Why? It is not like christians actually cared what the bible says. It is not like Christianity is acutally founded on the bible. The bible was was just a tool to excuse the dogma you were trying to enforce.
That's because for most other sects of Christianity, you aren't supposed to read the bible, you're supposed to listen to the cherry picked parts chosen by preachers and what they say the interpretation of those parts is. It's because a lot of the time actually reading the bible can turn people away from their faith.
@@heinshaaine8153 Specifically because Christians appeal to the Bible and specifically because they abhor Mormons. It amuses me that Mormons would destroy them in a bible throw down.
@@toast99bubbles Reading the bible is the number one reason people give for deconverting.

I want to insert myself into this "debate" and just toss a casual "you're both wrong" and see what happens. Would they band together to tell me off or would I just be adding fuel to the dumpster fire?
I'm pretty sure all religions agree that "unbelievers" are the worst of all.
@@LadyDoomsinger Pretty much.
If you told them that "god doesn't real", they would try to prevent you from getting married and hold public office
If all you said was "you're both wrong" they'd band against you. You'd have to mention a belief or "belief" that counters or undermines both of their differing beliefs on a point. That way when one would defend the other, the other wouldn't be happy with the defense and view it as a passive aggressive attack.
Christian has a black dog. Other guys have a white dog and a gray dog and a brown dog. Christian goes "Nope! Those aren't dogs because they're not black."
Make it dragons or unicorns instead of dogs, and you've got yourself a passable analogy.
Bro, this is what we need.
Theists of the same religion disproving each other.
You shouldn't worry about disproving both of them for now, let's let them do our job for us.
Please show more of such videos.
The thing is: all language is interpretation, all the time. There can't be a case where no interpretation is needed because turning words into thoughts is, itself, the primary act of interpretation.
If my interpretation of your comment is correct, you make a good point.
I'd argue ALL interaction with the world is an act of interpretation - what you see, hear, taste, touch, smell is all interpreted in your brain. First comes what you experience, then what you understand, then what you can communicate, and finally how what you are communicating is perceived by another person. With so many steps of interpretation just in speaking to another person, it's small wonder that the primary cause of human conflict is misunderstandings.
Of course, the calamity howler probably thinks that the “King James Version” is the original Bible, that each book was written in the king’s English of A.D. 1603-11, and not in the Hebrew, Aramaic and Koíne Greek of circa 1500 B.C.-A.D. 100 (according to the dates Christians say are correct). He won’t even consider the fact that the edition of that same version he himself is using is actually from A.D. 1750 to reflect changes in the English language in only 139 years. Consequently, when he claims that the Bible is not open to interpretation he really means to say that only the “King James Version” is not open to interpretation.
Street preachers love the Gishgallop. Just talk exceptionally fast. Extra points if you constantly shout over any dissent.
Y favorite part was where he said god created Satan, his own enemy and won’t kill him, despite him being able to do anything. Theism is the dumbest belief a human can have.
Not necessarily all theism, but the omni-god being regularly thwarted by the much weaker evil god is absurd. In a dualism where both sides are equally powerful, that kind of conflict is coherent. Mostly unevidenced, but not a ridiculous concept.
Don’t be silly, God has already won against satan.
@@Isaac-hm6ih That is a big part of why i find it unbelievable. People are apparently convinced that god is the most powerful thing in existence & will ultimately take them to heaven yet also need to constantly do stuff to help him win...🤔
@@Skylerrelyks93 Which is why nothing bad ever happens, right?
It's more like this . We were all angels in heaven. And we all say we are good and we believe in God . Then we turn and see God and so yes we believed because we could see him and we were good because he was watching and he was all knowing. But we then agreed we would have a veil put over our memories and that we would go down and get a body like God has and be tested . So now we can't just look and see God so have to use faith . And now that we're not a spirit our bodies give us more of the 7 deadly sins we can experience. Now we're not sure if a all knowing God is watching us . Now we might not be as good as we thought . .... .............................so a man came home and his dinner was not ready so he grabbed his bat and told his wife if my dinner is not ready in 30 minutes you will get the bat . His wife got the food ready in 25 minutes and they set down to eat . The man said to his wife arnt you glad I saved you from the bat ? .... now as an unbeliever you see it as story 2 but you agreed to story one you just don't remember because of the veil . Either way we bother get to prove if we're really good or bad or somewhere between

What truly stuns me is the way the rational-sounding theists can say things like "Jeebus _claimed_ he was the son of gawd," and then just carry on as if that translates into a fact.
Robert Downey Jr. said "I am Iron Man." And unlike any biblical claims, I can _prove_ he said it, but that doesn't make him a superhero.
Within the context of the story, he could actually prove he was iron man, though. Which is how sht works. Or should work.
@ArKritz84 within the context of the story Tony Stark is Iron Man, and RDJ isn't shown to exist. But that's not the point. Within the context if the gospels, Jeebus claims to be the son of gawd and/or also gawd.
Even granting that he was as real as RDJ (Tony Stark is fiction), and said the words, as RDJ said his line, it doesn't make it a fact that he was gawd, just as RDJ is not, in point of fact, Iron Man.

I am totally gobsmacked at the quantity of shameless hubris in this game of “My Doctrine Is Better Than Your Doctrine”. No humility whatsoever and no acknowledgement that either party’s beliefs could be wrong. That’s a strong indicator that both ARE (wrong). Of course with all the posturing there is no demonstration that A god actually exists, let alone the one these people claim to believe in, that he actually had a son, that that son was divine, that he died for anyone’s sins, that he was resurrected, etc. Utter bollocks, all of it.

Homer: Yeah. Think about it.

This reminds me of when I was tabling an event with a coworker/friend when a seminary student started asking her Ray Comfort questions - she's a Christian. He was a Christian. They were slightly different flavors, but me as an atheist getting impatient because he was monopolizing her time when she was trying to interact with the kids coming to the table was just like "OH MY GOODNESS, YOU LITERALLY ARE BOTH CHRISTIANS, CAN WE MOVE ON?"

That is the deafening sound of silence as one guy wrestles with the option of conceding a point and realising that conceding anything in this situation means everything he believed in is wrong.

B: Yes, but that was before the multiverse was established!..." And so on. It truly shows the incoherence in these texts. It looks like those were human written
I wish these poor people could hear just what kinda nonsense they are talking. It saddens me.
My favorite part is near the end where he's pointing out contradictions from the book of Mormon but doesn't have the self awareness, nor do these kids, to realize all the scriptures are riddled with contradictions.
So how do you figure a belief is a lie if you haven’t proven that the belief is a lie?
How is the commentator sure that none of the Jesus’s are the right Jesus, just because there are different Jesus’s people believe in?
That like saying that just because there are 120 different apples none of them have the right sweetness just because there are 120 different apples.
That way of thinking just doesn’t make any sense?
Also why would the point that gaining the ultimate prize needs to be earned if one freely chose to get it as opposed to you are going to get the prize whether you like it or not, means that Jesus is being a jerk?
How does that make any sense?
Why does the commentator assuming that either position regarding how evil came to being is not true PROVES that neither position is false?
Why does the mere point that just because the commentator prefers to have a Bible that requires no interpretation needed proves there cannot be a God who has provided a way that one can personally test to see which belief is correct by asking that God in faith if one, are you there?, second, if you get the assurance, there is a God, ask if Jesus Christ is divine?, and third, if you get that assurance ask if a certain religion is the right religion to be a part of.
If one wonders which interpretation is right why not try to ask the source in faith and see what happens?
It doesn’t hurt to try it out, especially when there is no proof presented so far that either proves or disproves any of the Gods presented, so why not try that out and see what happens?
Also, how does the comment or saying Joseph Smith was a convicted con man proves Joseph Smith was a convicted con man?
There is record of him being found guilty of not being able to find treasure on someone’s property in which he was paid to try and find, but there was not even any record of what the sentence was. So how is that a conviction for being a con man?
@@kevinx7015 every single iteration of the Jesus character has exactly zero evidence backing it up. I wont say its a "lie" per se but its effectively wrong until it can be proven right as Christopher Hitchens famously said "that which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" Joeseph Smith provided no evidence he wasnt doing anything other than talking out of his ass when he invented mormonism so him being wrong is the default state and theres reasonable suspicion that he was a fraud.

It becomes difficult to hear what they say that way and you don't want to go near them. It hurts the ears.

Wow. The street preacher actually said that primitive tribes who have never heard of his God are condemned because they can't figure out the Jesus story for themselves.
He has to. It hurts his case to confront reality: people assume the religion of their family/community/country is the “true” religion.

of course it's polytheistic. What's the very first commandment? You shall have no other Gods before me. Why would this be there if there was only the one God?

Wait….. it is actually: my version of the same imaginary sky wizard is the one that actually does the real. 🫤🤪
I am so glad you said we don't have to use P4 the golden shower!! And, I absolutely love orange Fanta!! 👍🏼❤️

For those interested in the scholarship:
According to the general consensus of scholarship *(even critical Christian scholars),* YHWH was originally incorporated into the Canaanite pantheon as a son of the Canaanite high god El before inheriting the top spot in the pantheon and El's wife Athirat (Asherah) before religious reforms. If you want to see if El is fictional, just read his mythology in the Ugaritic/Canaanite texts. His pantheon in Ugarit is called the *Elohim,* literally the plural of El.
"When El was young, he came across two beautiful Goddesses washing their clothes in the Sea. They were Athirat (Asherah) and the Goddess Rahmaya, and, after buttering them up by cooking a meal for them, he asked them to choose between being his daughters or wives. They choose the latter and became the mothers of the Gods Shachar "Dawn" and Shalim "Dusk"."
*"First, a god named El predates the arrival of the Israelites into Syria-Palestine.* Biblical usage shows El was not just a generic noun, but often a proper name for Israel’s God (e.g., Gen 33:20: “El, the God of Israel”)."
"I should add here that it is very clear from the grammar that the noun nachalah in v. 9 should be translated “inheritance.” *Yahweh receives Israel as his “inheritance” (nachalah), just as the other sons of El received their nations as their inheritance (nachal, v. 8).* With this verb, especially in the Hiphil, the object is always what is being given as an inheritance. Thus, Israel is given to Yahweh as his inheritance. ((Here I’m indebted to Dan McClellan.)) It would make no sense for Elyon to give himself an inheritance. Moreover, as I’ve argued elsewhere, it is not just the Gentile nations that are divided up according to the number of the sons of El. It is all of humankind, i.e., “the sons of Adam.” This clearly includes Israel. And the sons of Adam are not divided up according to the number of the sons of El, plus one (i.e., plus Elyon). They are divided up, according to the text, solely according to the number of the sons of El. *Thus, that Yahweh receives Israel as his inheritance makes Yahweh one of the sons of El mentioned in v. 8. Any other construal of the text would constitute its rewriting."*

(Excluding the short narrative on Nimrod (vv. 8-12), which appears to be a later addition, Genesis 10 contains *70* names of nations or cities, a number that was symbolic of totality. Similarly, the descendants of Jacob were *70* in number (Gen 46:37; Exod 1:5), *as were the sons of the supreme Canaanite god El, with whom YHWH became equated.)*

Same ol' recycled crap/nonsense. All they have to support their mythology are their book(s) of mythology?? Aesop's Fables are equally credible.
The thing to think about when talking with street preachers, or in fact any preacher: they do not really want you to worship their god or any god. They want you to worship them, the one preaching. Religion is not and never has been about god or morality. Religion is all about money and power. Your money to them so that they can have power over you.
