    "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods and they are unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." -- Marcus Aurelius

      I believe he was an early Stoic. He is right about memories being the source of life after death, because the whole concept of a spirit or soul is in your head.All the folks that have now passed, if they meant something to me, live on in my head with fond memories. The soulless live on, too, as those who cause you harm have effectively taken a dump in your brain.

      Then do not tell me this is not a sick cult with godless ass kissers and godless alone trash people that are so obsessed with what other believe and the reflection of other people believe. No respect for those sick godless people.
      For Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS? As God really cares about what you think and your stupid philosophy empty words as godless alone trash person (anyone who deny God is a godless alone trash person)… Another reason none can respect you, you are a lier as any modern Goddenier.. And we hope the next generation will be better then you and forget about you and your empty stupid worthless atheism not even worst to clean my ass. … you are just empty like it.
      Then why only godless alone trash people are obsessed with hell, while we are not? Another reason to do not be like them, and live with this constantly fear… What idiots!
      For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people
      constantly talk about God, showing their obsession, are made not to
      help anyhow your godless alone life but to trap you into this empty
      stupid cult called atheism they know we live in the time of stupidity
      and godless trash people so they need to capture them as more as they
      can.
      They know you are the most stupid, weakest and alone people in
      the face of earth and they need to take advantages on you. They know you
      run anytime you see godless ass to kiss it. That what this empty BS
      cult atheism make you be, without God and without dignity. But let see
      how you are in trapped in this cult: Let see how many godless rats are
      here with their empty words and life, just as their cult called atheism.
      Why? Why Godless alone trash people want see the existence of God
      when it is clear that if they and all the things they see around (earth,
      stars, planets and so on) if they are creation something must created
      them. For real no respect for those godless blind trash people. God is
      what they do not know have and do not know in their miserable alone
      trash life. But God will take care about them as well, once death as
      anyone alse. Let's hope we will have better generation that those
      godless alone trash one.... We really do not need this empty and
      worthless cult called atheism and those modern godless alone idiots who
      thinks God cares to exist what those poor alone people think about him.
      No respect for them and their miserable godless alone life. (they are
      also godless ass kissers, as they run anytime they see a godless alone
      person... that what happen when you do not have God in your life, you
      lose your dignity, and you start to be disgusting in that way)... Oh
      anyway when you stopped to believe in God something died on you but you
      are so pathetic that you are not willing to admit it (right?). What
      trashy people without shame they deny their creator, and they will be
      judge for it.... Liars ad patetich as any Goddeniers. so their worthless
      empty life without him.... They are even the weakest people, because if
      they are wrong, they are the ones who will pay for denying God... Won't
      be in their shoes. No respect for them....
      I told you this godless
      is the worst generation (those people are just empty and worthless as
      the cult they are in), and when it will be gone with their stupid
      empty, worthless atheism that does not going anywhere, that do not offer
      or teach anything, none will complain about it, not even those very
      weak losers!!!!! ... Do not call them atheist but godless alone souless
      trash. Let's forget about those worthless empty people and their
      worthless and empty cult do not even good to clean the dirtiest motel.
      WHEN YOU WILL BE GONE NONE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU AND YOUR STUPID CULt
      CALLED ATHEISM. You are the worst of people, no respect for you:...
      those are juss godless alone trash people, liers as any Godeniers with
      less thing sacred in their miserable alone godless life… those weak
      people are so weak and alone that they wait for an empty videos from an
      obsessed godless person to kiss his ass, disgustingly (no God, No
      Dignity) it would not change their life, actually more alone and empty,
      (they do not even have a real community) empty life they live empty shit
      they are in like this stupid cult called Atheism! No respect for them.
      (They are very weak, empty and frustrated people, a life that none will
      accepted, but those godless alone trash idiots).. those who say there is
      no God will pay for it, soon or later... No won't be a godless alone
      trash person into an empty cult not even good for my ass such atheism,
      that offers them nothing. But emptiness and lonlyness for their
      miserabile godless alone life. No respect for them. They are just empty
      as their cult called atheism. But they will pay this soon or later, and
      all the emptiness for nothing they are facing in their ridicolous
      miserable alone life! It is time to throw on the trash empty atheism and
      godless alone trash people, they are not even worthless to clean shit.
      You can not respect them and their emptiness! It is over for you, trash
      is not even good to clean you of all this atheism BS. No respect for
      you. Let's really hope we can have a better generation and forget this

Godless alone trash people, liars as an any Goddenier, dishonest and the worst and stupidest generation ever had. Let’s froget about this godless trash worthless generation and waiting for a better one. (By the way you will be judge as anyone alse once death by God, do not think you will escape because you deny him, as a godless alone rat as you are (You are also a disgusting godless ass kisser, that anytime you see a godlesss ass you run to kiss it. because you got no God and no dignity in your miserable godless life) NO RESPECT FOR YOU (your life is more empty and miserable without God, but you are the only fool to do not get it… WHY?)... this godless alone trash generation is the worst... Let's hope we can forget about them and have a better one. No respect for them and their stupid empty cult called atheism...... Godless weak people (you are weaker now and later ponce you will confront God, no matter what you sick people think about him)........... They do not deserve any respect, with their godless alone trash family who raised so trashy and sick to deny God. (and they will also pay fgor it, soon or later......... They got No God and no Dignity... something dies inside them when they stop to believe in God, but their are so patetic to admit... Soon or later they will stop to write empty shit on youtube about what we believe... Why? They are very weak, and quickly to change their mind about God... they are worthless people just like their empty atheism... but surelly they can not call theirselves atheists, but godless alone weak trash people. No respect for those liers or disgusting godless desperate ass kissers.... /they need to slpit on their dirthy mouth every morning as they deny God... but they are deceiving none but themselves, as they will paid for it, and be judge by God once death as anyone alse. (So it is better to be a son of God,m that a godless alone weak person).
      It is time to theow on the trash atheims (where it belong) and forget about this generation (have better people then them). God will take care about them as well, and I won't be in the place of those godless weak alone people and disguasting godless ass kisses...... They lost any dignity, denying God, no doubt about that........ No God, no dignity for them, the worst generation ever!..

      As-Salamu Alaikum. Peace and blessings of God to all mankind, the children of our father Adam (as) and our mother Eve (as).
      Dear brothers and sisters, I have a message for you. I would appreciate it if you read it.
      If you are 20 people, and only 1 of them is on the right path while the other 19 are misguided, and they do not listen to that 1 person but rather get angry at him, that 1 person stays quiet. This will not make those 19 people right; they will still remain wrong.
      Therefore, the truth is known to the one who listens and accepts the best of what they say, who protects himself from the evil in his heart, and who welcomes good things.
      The majority of people in this world are misguided, chasing their desires and negligent of God. If you follow these misguided people, you will not harm God in any way; rather, you will end up hurting yourself.
      The life of this world is just a blink of an eye, and the true home is the hereafter, where we have to live forever. Therefore, those who consider this world to be everything will make you heedless of the hereafter, and you will suffer a great loss. So, brothers, do not follow those who are heedless of their hereafter and are chasing their desires. These people will be ruined on the Day of Judgment, and they will also ruin your hereafter.
      Brothers, save yourselves from the regret of that Day when a person will wish to return to the world just once more, to believe in God and perform good deeds.
      But what can be done now when the bird has already eaten the crop?

    One of the most profound Catholic theologians of the 20th century, Henri de Lubac, wrote a book called "The Drama of Atheist Humanism". In the book, he did a very Thomist thing: in order to truly respond to the proponents of atheist materialism, he started by examining their thought in great depth. Otherwise he would only have been responding to his own preconceptions about atheistic materialists, and he knew this. Alex O'Connor seems to me a person professing atheism who extends that same courtesy to Christianity. He tries to understand it before responding to it.

    As a kid who grew up in a rural Christian area but thought very logically, I questioned everything I was told. I was quickly taught to "fear God" so much that I became deathly afraid to keep questioning it. As a very young child, when the people you trust most tell you that you'll burn for eternity (after explaining what eternity means) if you keep asking questions, you stop asking questions and you fear everything those people tell you to fear.
    I moved out of that town at 18 to go to college. By 20, without the influence of small town Southern baptism, I had met enough atheists that I felt safe questioning things and realized quickly that I never once believed a word of it. Turns out, I was just terrified to even think about it. The Christian indoctrination is basically "instill fear at the core of this person's identity when they're developing children" whether they know it or not.
    It's the ultimate blasphemy to teach people such fear and convince them that it's love; then they grow up thinking that by using anger to instill that same fear in their own children, they will legitimately believe that they love their child by making that child terribly afraid of some vague nonsense concept completely detached from the world they live in. It keeps people afraid, it skews the perception of love, it prevents people from caring about the world around them, it gives you the most screwed up idea of what it means to be a good or bad person, it completely destroys your ability to think critically or question things...it's just absolutely despicable. It's vile and I hate it so very much. Christians want to be good people, but their instructions may as well have been given to them by their devil copying God's handwriting.

      "Many passages attributed to Jesus have him predicting the end *within his generation* (“the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repent and believe the good news” (Mark 1:15); *“this generation will not pass away* until all these things take place” (Mark 13:30); *“truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes”* (Matthew 10:23); “Truly I say to you, *there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death* until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.” (Mark 9:1); "From now on, you shall see the *Son of Man* coming in the clouds..." (Matthew 26:64))."
      Jesus as a failed apocalyptic prophet is the general consensus of critical scholarship, *even critical Christian scholars* like Dale Allison. The Son of Man (Jesus himself?) was supposed to be an end of the world arbiter, as Bart Ehrman points out in his lecture referenced below, and as the Bible states he was supposed to come *within the lifetime* of Jesus’s followers. *It didn't happen.*
      Read the article from the former Christian apologist and Tim O'Neill (former Christian), who has been studying the scholarship and history for decades, referenced below as well.
      *Jesus falsely prophesied his return in the 1st century*
      “Truly I say to you, ***you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes”*** (Matthew 10:23);
      For the *Son of man* shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; ***and then he shall reward every man according to his works.***
      Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here will not taste death*** before they see the *Son of Man* coming in his kingdom Matthew 16:27-28
      Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here*** will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God Luke 9:27
      Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened Mark 13:30
      The sun will be darkened,
      and the moon will not give its light;
      the stars will fall from the sky,
      and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
      Then will appear the sign of the *Son of Man* in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the *Son of Man* coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
      Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened Matthew 24:29-34
      There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the *Son of Man* coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. When you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
      Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened Luke 21:25-32
      *Jesus promised to return over 2, 000 years ago and he still hasn’t.*
      Jesus and the angels never appeared from Heaven, the stars never fell from the sky, none of these things happened. Nothing he prophesied happened.
      ***Apologists can try to spin this, but the simple fact is that Jesus was either wrong or misquoted.***
      According to the Bible that makes Jesus a false prophet or misquoted (and if Jesus is misquoted than the Bible is not inerrant or the word of God)
      How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord? If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken Deuteronomy 18:21-22
      *Jesus falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin*
      Jesus also falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin (assemblies of either twenty-three or seventy-one rabbis appointed to sit as a tribunal)
      You will see the *Son of Man* sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and ***coming on the clouds of heaven*** Matthew 26:64 Mark 14:62
      Except the high priest and the Sanhedrin never saw Jesus sitting at the right hand side of God, or coming on the clouds of heaven, or any such thing.
      *Jesus falsely prophesied to Nathaniel*
      Jesus also falsely prophesied to Nathanael when he declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
      Jesus said, You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that. He then added, ***“Very truly I tell you, you will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man*** John 1:50-51
      *Nathanael never saw any such thing. Neither did anyone else.*
      *"13x Jesus was wrong in the Bible - Life Lessons"*
      The following quote from Stephen L. Harris, Professor Emeritus of Humanities and Religious Studies at California State University- Sacramento, completes this point with a devastating argument.
      *Jesus did not accomplish what Israel’s prophets said the Messiah was commissioned to do:* He did not deliver the covenant people from their Gentile enemies, reassemble those scattered in the Diaspora, restore the Davidic kingdom, or establish universal peace (cf.Isa. 9:6-7; 11:7-12:16, etc.). Instead of freeing Jews from oppressors and thereby fulfilling God’s ancient promises-for land, nationhood, kingship, and blessing- *Jesus died a “shameful” death, defeated by the very political powers the Messiah was prophesied to overcome.* Indeed, the Hebrew prophets did not foresee that Israel’s savior would be executed as a common criminal by Gentiles, *making Jesus’ crucifixion a “stumbling block” to scripturally literate Jews.* (1 Cor.1:23)

      Gandhi could have easily said the same thing if he lived back then having any inclination they were gonna kill him. “My death will inspire many to become more loving” that’s all those passages mean. It’s written in first century poetry. “Forgiveness of sins”. Yeah I mean they even write Jesus forgiving his enemies while being crucified in Luke. It’s quite clear that his martyrdom will be an example of unconditional love which is forgiving even the worst people. But the way it’s written in the gospel sounds more profound and deep than what I just wrote.

    The problem with Richard Dawkins is that he just doesn't get it. "How could you stand it?" "Why would I study theology?" - to him, the religious mode of thinking seems to be not accessible at all. Which is fine on a personal level - but he shouldn't be going around making definite pronouncements on the nature of religion and religiosity when he cannot fundamentally understand it. Alex, on the other hand, can fully access the "machinery" of religious thought, get into that mode, and understand it - which shows that you don't have to be a believer or religious to do so. That is why anything that Alex as an atheist says about religion and faith is infinitely more insightful than anything Dawkins says on the subject.

      Very well put. I don't mind when people disagree or make arguments against Christianity. But it bothers me when they're lazily inaccurate or intentionally frame things to sound ridiculous. The truth is these guys find the very concept of God stupid and only pursue reasons that support that opinion. And to me that's just as bad as a Christian who believes but only because the idea is comforting. If I wanted a religion to comfort me and entertain all my vices, Christianity would be the last thing I'd pick. I'd just like both parties to at least try and represent the other as accurately as they can and in good faith. Unfortunately, many times you get oversimplification, false truth and sarcasm on both sides.

As a Christian and lover of science myself, I strongly believe in the principle of falsification. There are several scientific discoveries that would cause me to be an atheist (eg, if the universe was eternal, if the multiverse exists, if life on other planets exist). If I were taking to Dawkins, I would suggest that, if he had no way to falsify his unbelief, he hadn't thought about it hard enough. I suspect that would make him mad. But someone in his position should surely have an answer to the question, "What would falsify your unbelief?"

    My mother was born in 1911 told me she read the Bible to decide for herself if religion had any validity.
    She was 17 when she read it, ( in 1928 when the majority population had a religious faith ) .
    She said it was the most disgusting book she ever read, full of murder, rape, incest, deceit etc. that she never knew about.
    “ Just a lot of stories written by old men ( no women) to indoctrinate the population”, and through fear , made to believe we’re all born of original “sin”.
    The mechanism is to have POWER over their subjects promising redemption if they follow their religious leaders and THEIR teachings.
    Her father must have her prompted to read the Bible as he went to France in World War One (from New Zealand) believing in Christ , and came back an Atheist , and also a staunch anti-royalist.
    It’s not hard to work out why he changed his beliefs.

      Being Christian, I think it depends on how you read the Bible. Sure, there are many horror stories but there's also the love story of Songs of Solomon, there's salvation in Christ Jesus in the Gospels, there's Creation of the world before sin in Genesis 1 etc. It doesn't simply matter what's there (as evangelicals and Baptists may be tempted to think), it's also about it's overall meaning and how to historically understand each verse.
      I flipped my Bible to random pages over the last few days - and ended up reading chapters from Jeremiah, Joel and Zechariah. These prophets predicted destruction, death, and the LORD's anger on His people. The chapters, however, also had a message of revitalisation and rebirth. Although the prophecies were full of horror, (1) there's a very positive element you might as well talk about alongside that, and (2) contextually, these prophets lived in dangerous times including during the Exile. With God's people having been captured, exiled and subjugated in foreign lands with no Temple - many a Jew would see this prophecy of chaos and destruction as related to their experiences. Instead of dismissing this as dark, horrible and a case for oppression, they may have accepted it as their reality, their lives, part of the human idea of suffering.
      In other words, I don't think seeing the Bible as a tool for oppression does the most justice to the context of Scripture itself.

      Justin W. Bass "The Bedrock of Christianity"
      Lee Strobel "The Case for Christ"
      Read pp. 792-819 of Novum Testamentum Graece (Nestle-Aland 28th Edition). That's a list of manuscripts that built the New Testament, which verses, the dating and where to find them. There are many that attest to the truth of the events, more manuscripts and better dating than the ones most ancient authors wrote.

    Professor Dawkins is one of my current heroes of freethought. O'Connor is a new shining star. I was born into the LDS (Mormon) faith, though I am now atheist. Mormons, though as much misguided as any religion, are one of the more (comparatively speaking) intelligent Christian groups. I recently purchased via Ebay a book on the ancient Persian religion of the Avesta (Zarathustra). This religion focuses less on its god (Ahura Mazda -Wise Lord) and more on behavior. Its main teaching is "good thoughts, good words, good deeds". It teaches that we are free to choose our actions but are responsible for all of them. This is far more an enlightening belief than the vulgar bestiality of the Bible. Harrison Cother (The Truth Hurts) is a Jehovah's Witness turned atheist. He made a beautiful comment. "It is better to have questions you can't answer than answers you can't question".

      @@Boldlycatholic I have never heard of Horn or Akin; I shall have to check them out. As for W.L. Craig, he is a most unintelligent man with rather stupid ideas. I have yet to be impressed with anything he has to say. My reference to Mormons being smarter has to do with their numerous universities -BYU -about the globe. So long as a belief; e.g. evolution or the non-Israelite origin of Amerindians, does not contradict with their ideas, they tend to have a fetish for learning. I attended Ricks College -now BYUI -in 83' -87' and was deeply impressed with them, though I was agnostic at the time. (no one knew this.) They also tend to support various school programs and -as I have experienced on both the giving and receiving ends -they have an EXCELLENT welfare program. They also run some medical facilities and teach at these as well.

      It's a profound and unbelievable change when you shift from 'faith' in God to 'knowing' God is there. God will bless you in unimaginable ways when you turn to Him and say you want Him in your life. Then when you see how He's working in your life, it goes from 'I believe' to 'I know without a shadow of doubt'. It cannot be explained unless you pray and ask God to come into your life and that you're willing to change and not live an earthly life full of giving into temptation. It's a gift you want everyone to have. Every Christian has a testimony that will blow your mind.

      For Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS? As God really cares about what you think and your stupid philosophy empty words as godless alone trash person (anyone who deny God is a godless alone trash person)… Another reason none can respect you, you are a lier as any modern Goddenier.. And we hope the next generation will be better then you and forget about you and your empty stupid worthless atheism not even worst to clean my ass. … you are just empty like it.
      Then why only godless alone trash people are obsessed with hell, while we are not? Another reason to do not be like them, and live with this constantly fear… What idiots!
      For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people
      constantly talk about God, showing their obsession, are made not to
      help anyhow your godless alone life but to trap you into this empty
      stupid cult called atheism they know we live in the time of stupidity
      and godless trash people so they need to capture them as more as they
      can.
      They know you are the most stupid, weakest and alone people in
      the face of earth and they need to take advantages on you. They know you
      run anytime you see godless ass to kiss it. That what this empty BS
      cult atheism make you be, without God and without dignity. But let see
      how you are in trapped in this cult: Let see how many godless rats are
      here with their empty words and life, just as their cult called atheism.
      Why? Why Godless alone trash people want see the existence of God
      when it is clear that if they and all the things they see around (earth,
      stars, planets and so on) if they are creation something must created
      them. For real no respect for those godless blind trash people. God is
      what they do not know have and do not know in their miserable alone
      trash life. But God will take care about them as well, once death as

      thinks God cares to exist what those poor alone people think about him.
      No respect for them and their miserable godless alone life. (they are
      also godless ass kissers, as they run anytime they see a godless alone
      person... that what happen when you do not have God in your life, you
      lose your dignity, and you start to be disgusting in that way)... Oh
      anyway when you stopped to believe in God something died on you but you
      are so pathetic that you are not willing to admit it (right?). What
      trashy people without shame they deny their creator, and they will be
      judge for it.... Liars ad patetich as any Goddeniers. so their worthless
      empty life without him.... They are even the weakest people, because if
      they are wrong, they are the ones who will pay for denying God... Won't
      be in their shoes. No respect for them....
      I told you this godless
      is the worst generation (those people are just empty and worthless as
      the cult they are in), and when it will be gone with their stupid
      empty, worthless atheism that does not going anywhere, that do not offer

      people are so weak and alone that they wait for an empty videos from an
      obsessed godless person to kiss his ass, disgustingly (no God, No
      Dignity) it would not change their life, actually more alone and empty,
      (they do not even have a real community) empty life they live empty shit
      they are in like this stupid cult called Atheism! No respect for them.

      that offers them nothing. But emptiness and lonlyness for their

It's recognizing you are helpless in your sin, and committing to the service of The Creator of All Things with understanding that your impurities are cleansed by faith in Him.

      This man, Dawkins, has been at least equally indoctrinated (if that's how you want to think of it). His knowledge of the very thing he speaks against- the God of the Bible- is incredibly lacking. On Jesus, he asks, "Did He actually say that He was salvation?" And says, "Surely he never said that my death is necessary in order for you to be saved from sin." (!?) It's absurd, and often dishonest, to dismiss something without even examining it. This would be the intellectual equivalent of me dismissing the whole of scientific endeavor because of the medical use of leeches in the middle ages, without knowing anything about penicillin or the science of electricity. It's cartoonish. A simple google search would answer his questions in minutes, but he chooses to not know. This is more symptomatic of indoctrination than anything common to believers in the Bible.

    If we are born with free will, we have the potential to sin but that's a personal choice because we have free will and aren't destined to sin. However with kids, they do not know all about society's rules, values, weaknesses, nuances... They know what seems to work to get their needs met without understanding why and the possible impact.
    So I'd say a baby is probably going to sin, not because it wants to but because it doesn't know what a sin is. A baby is doomed to fail in that sense. Is that being born in sin? At least it is involuntary.

    Alex and Richard are both atheists. But that is about where the similarities end.
    Dawkins has never allowed himself to 'put on my mind of a theist' so-to-speak. He's never allowed himself to imagine, 'what is it like to be a theist?'. He's so deeply afraid of the question his repulsion is palpable.
    Alex has no such fears. In fact, the question fascinates him. He has taken seriously the beliefs of 99.9% of all humans through history (that the world is created by a supernatural being) and is willing to engage that idea.

      To suggest that it's "fear" on Dawkins' part is, to put it politely, fucking moronic. It's two different styles by two different people. Neither are right or wrong, Dawkins is just more right.

      What Alex conveys is a greater humanity and sensitivity than Dawkins does but let's face it, they both are critical of Christianity and religion. Alex is just a cool less emotional guy than Dawkins. Probably they both are most critical of religions that threaten hell to nonbelievers. I understand from going on religious sites that they give no respect and mock Agnostics. Part of this could be they feel they may find another step on the stairway to heaven by trying to convert as many nonbelievers as they can.
      Part could be that Jesus wants terrible things to happen to nonbelievers and he is the pathway for believers to adopt that sickening mindset. I have to fear the moderator or AI on here for just saying what I feel. You may not find it wrong. I wonder how anyone can not think it's wrong of Jesus. Good luck to you, and of course I have no idea how you feel about Agnostics or Atheists.

      Do you really think Jesus wants terrible things for non-believers? You said so l must assume you mean it.
      But how can a loving God want that for his children. You wouldn't want it for your children so why do you think God would want non believers to go to hell.
      Not that it isn't true that non believers will go to hell but rather that God does not want that to be the case the choice is ours. So if anyone goes to hell it's not because God choose it for them.
      Isaiah 59:2
      2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
      It doesn't make sense to think God wants non believers to go to hell unless you think God isn't loving in that case that is your opinion. The bible says Good is love why does your statement contradict this fact.
      If you as a parent had a kid and you happened to be a good judge and your kid was charged for murder wouldn't you find every means by which you could acquit your child from the prosecution without circumventing the law itself.
      Isn't that why they call God a merciful God? The cross is God's way of saving his people from the condemnation of the law but sin is the transgression of the law and the soul that sins must die. To make this shorter not that it's short.
      If Jesus didn't die we would all be condemned by the law to hell. I want to speak more about hell but l leave it for another time because l can see you have some contentions with Christians who preach hell fire without love or at least you perceive they do it from an unloving place.
      Why would God want sinners to go to hell
      I know you and l are not Israelites but there's no difference between Jews and Gentiles. See the Verse below
      Why Will You Die, Israel?
      10 “And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus have you said: ‘Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we rot away because of them. How then can we live?’ 11 Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?

      Scripture’s teaching is that all who die in their sins will immediately go to hell/Hades, where they will remain, conscious of their misery and despair, until summoned before God at the Great White Throne Judgment. These, who rejected God’s mercy, must face His wrath, and they are eventually judged and cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

    No one can die for the sins of another. To make it so is an effort to keep man in chains. To redeem himself, a man must accept full responsibility for his own actions or inactions, that he alone was the cause of his shortcomings. There is no other way to attain spiritual freedom. There never has been and never will be, no matter what anyone may want to make you believe.

In addition, I am convinced that the way of salvation, being made right with God, is by doing the will of God for the glory of God as is taught in the Hebrew scriptures (the Tanakh).

      @@JelenaO-y2f - ♥️ *My dear, this has to do with FAITH IN GOD.* ☝🏽 We are saved by God's mercy and grace. In the Hebrew scriptures, the blood of animals was for unintentional sins (mistakes) only. It was not for deliberate sins. An example is King David's great sin. He was not told to sacrifice an animal for his deliberate sin.
      David declares in Psalms 51:16-17, *"For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise."*
      As for the New Testament, again I will say it is not a reliable source for faith and doctrine. Human blood sacrifices have always been condemned by God in the Hebrew scriptures. That God as a Judge would have the innocent man pay for the crimes of the wicked, is not Justice at all. THINK ABOUT IT.
      Hence the New Testament claims of Jesus an innocent man having to shed his blood for the world is a foriegn idea against the Hebrew scriptures. If we sin it is clear in the Hebrew scriptures that we go directly to God, repent, and strive to keep His moral laws for His glory. He is ever merciful and will empower those who try. That's it.
      ☝🏽No human blood sacrifice is needed. The prophet Micah declares this perfectly - *"Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I GIVE MY FIRSTBORN* [a human sacrifice] *for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"* (Micah 6:6-8)

    Experiments were done with young children of preschool age. These children were put in a room filled with all kinds of different toys. They were given permission to play with any one of the toys that they wanted to, or any number of toys that they to.
    But in the center of the room on a table was placed a gun. The children were told not to touch the gun because it would hurt them, it was dangerous!
    Overtime, every one of the children eventually went and touched the gun. Some of them would play with the other toys for a while, working their way around the room, but eventually they all were curious about the one thing they were told not to touch! Some children even went straight to the gun, not bothering to play with any of the other toys!
    We are born with the weakness towards rebellion and disobedience inherit on our DNA from Adam!
    Genesis tells us that Adam was created perfect in God's image, but Adam chose to sin. Adam wasn't tricked like Eve was. Adam was perfect and chose to sin! As our first parent, Adam's sin was passed down to all of us on our DNA.
    That doesn't mean that we all have Adam's eating of the forbidden fruit on our personal accounts. Rather it means, that we have inherited the weakness for sinning, for rebelling, for disobedience, and we create our own account of sins!
    We need a savior to buy us back from sin and! God provided that savior in Jesus by replacing the first atom with the second Adam whom God created directly!
    Every other human was not created in God's image, but was created in Adams image according to genesis! Since Adams image was imperfect, we are all born imperfect!

      When a Cuckoo pushes it’s competitors out of the nest, is it sinning? We’ve developed a brain, that enables us to exploit situations to our advantage. Vicarious learning accelerates it. We do it daily-constantly. Through education and example, we are are able to modify our behaviour, developing personal principles of appropriate behaviour. Some will abide to these principles more than others. Our upbringing and experiences may impact whether we do “bad” things. Sometimes we do them because we can. Sometimes we can get better. That’s the wonderful thing about being human-you can stop being an arsehole and improve. No God is required.

      When it comes to "punishment" for all eternity in He'll it really is not God doing it to us it is what we cause to ourselves.
      God does not desire for anyone, ANYONE to perish. That's why he set things up for Jesus to take on the WAGES that we've earned so that we wouldn't have to face them, and also if Jesus had simply died on the cross and not rose up from the grave then it would have been meaningless his death on the cross. All there'd be is a dead savior who can't save anyone that death would have conquered. So basically if a person rejects him they would remain doomed to perishing.

      For Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS? As God really cares about what you think and your stupid philosophy empty words as godless alone trash person (anyone who deny God is a godless alone trash person)… Another reason none can respect you, you are a lier as any modern Goddenier.. And we hope the next generation will be better then you and forget about you and your empty stupid worthless atheism not even worst to clean my ass. … you are just empty like it.
      Then why only godless alone trash people are obsessed with hell, while we are not? Another reason to do not be like them, and live with this constantly fear… What idiots!
      For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people
      constantly talk about God, showing their obsession, are made not to
      help anyhow your godless alone life but to trap you into this empty
      stupid cult called atheism they know we live in the time of stupidity
      and godless trash people so they need to capture them as more as they
      can.
      They know you are the most stupid, weakest and alone people in
      the face of earth and they need to take advantages on you. They know you
      run anytime you see godless ass to kiss it. That what this empty BS

      person... that what happen when you do not have God in your life, you

      anyway when you stopped to believe in God something died on you but you
      are so pathetic that you are not willing to admit it (right?). What
      trashy people without shame they deny their creator, and they will be

    There is absolutely no doubt that children have a propensity towards sin. We constantly have to slap little hands that touch, even when we tell them; don't touch. Children constantly test the boundaries. Their sin is forgiven up until the Age of reason, at which time children are expected to know the difference between right and wrong, and are expected to adhere to God's law.
    But the fact is, even after the age of reason, humans tend to defy God's law, sometimes accidentally, and sometimes intentionally. This is the inherited weakness towards sin which we all have, even the Jews.
    Going to God and just saying sorry is not good enough. If you accidentally hit somebody's car in the parking lot and damage it, saying sorry good enough? No, that person wants restitution. They want you to repair their car good as new or better. God is the same way.
    The entire purpose of the Stone Temple was for the priest to make animal sacrifices to make restitution for the sins of the Hebrew people. There would be no point in making a temple for animal sacrifices if just saying sorry was good enough to gain forgiveness from God.

To nitpick the phrase "born into sin" and interpret it literally by questioning what a newborn baby has done to "sin" rather than see that it is clearly highlighting the fallible nature of humankind is a pedantic counter-argument.

      you're not giving Dawkin's argument it's due here. if anything, i'd say your optimism about religion gets in the way of your objectivity if you *don't* think a doctrine of inherent sin is overwhelmingly negative and pessimistic. it has little to do with RD's arrogance and more to do with just how dismal and manipulate a system it is to say, "all are inherently sinful, if you don't subscribe to my particular take on absolutely everything"

    It’s not that we are “born” in sin. No infant is guilty of sin. We are born spiritually dead. Born alive physically but dead to God. Adam was created in the image of God, and he died in the very moment that he sinned, but his death was a spiritual death. The spirit of God that was breathed into him upon his creation departed making him a dead being. As a result humanity is born into this world in the image of Adam. Jesus’ death was for the forgiveness of sins for all humanity but it is through faith that we receive His spirit and are made alive to God. Hence, being born again.

      The concept that no one is perfect and infalliable is a decent one
      The concept that you are a worthless pos who needs to beg the abuser to help you or you will suffer the consequences, is abusive
      they are two completely different concepts and I lost a lot of respect for Alex when he conflated the two

      @@charimonfanboy Exactly my thought! I was thinking that something didn't sound right about Alex's argument when trying to convey the idea of sin from birth in secular terms - because the secular idea of infalliablity is completely different from the abusive 'you're worthless unless you believe, rever and pray to me' of Christianity.
      He made the opposite of a strawman argument while playing the devil's advocate which stumped the old Dawkins.
      Unfortunately it seems like his core audience is way too 'rational and intellectual' to be able to identify these basic mistakes Alex sometimes makes in his videos, be they atheist, agnostic or theist. You can often see a certain disdain from Alex's core audience when it comes to figures like Dawkins and other 'anti-theists' and I'm not trying to defend him as a better person or intellectual, I have no opinion on that but they certainly do.
      I think that if you are to play the devil's advocate you should atleast present the argument in an accurate way to what 'the devil' believes. Don't give them credit for making a better argument they never made but you made on their behalf.

It's more like [the're] born with a propensity towards sinning, which I imagine you would agree with; that newborn babies, even though they haven't committed immoral acts yet, they're born with this sort of this human nature, which has a predisposition towards doing things that fall short of our moral standards, maybe."
      It seemed Dawkins couldn't answer, and instead decided to say :"I am sorry for you to having to do a degree in this kind of thing ... its not a real subject is it?""
      It's hard to disagree with the point that we do seem to be born with a predisposition or propensity "towards doing things that fall short of our moral standards".
      I don't think I am twisting things.
      That being said, I personally don't agree with the Christian/Protestant idea that humanity is totally broken - at least this is the Protestant/Evangelical idea of Original Sin - the Catholics on the other hand think humanity - or the "image of God" in humanity - isn't broken, but stained, which I think is a much nicer view,
      (though I am an apostate / ex Catholic myself and don't believe the Christian dogmas in the Creed to be (literally) true. In my view they are myths).
      But I do think that on some level there is something good and pure in all beings that can neither be broken nor stained, that we are basically good on some deeper level, but that we somehow have lost contact with that part of our being.
      But I guess this is a kind of religious thought, too ... and I can't prove it.

As God really cares about what you think and your stupid philosophy empty words as godless alone trash person (anyone who deny God is a godless alone trash person)… Another reason none can respect you, you are a lier as any modern Goddenier.. And we hope the next generation will be better then you and forget about you and your empty stupid worthless atheism not even worst to clean my ass. … you are just empty like it.
      Then why only godless alone trash people are obsessed with hell, while we are not? Another reason to do not be like them, and live with this constantly fear… What idiots!
      For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people

      It is time to theow on the trash atheims (where it belong) and forget about this generation (have better people then them).

The point is not that the idea encourages people to indulge in hate, bigotry, sexism, persecution, and malice towards others who believe and think differently. The point is that we see these things happen independently of whether people believe these things or not. The question after that is what we're supposed to do about it.

    To me the real question is "Why don't people who profess to be Christians exemplify the basic principles and commandments that Christ exemplified in the New Testament?" They are so enamored with shaming others and seeing themselves as righteous while their own behavior rarely reflects "Love thy neighbor as thyself" but the only neighbors they love are those who are just like themselves. Real Christians do not go about wagging their fingers at others, they EXEMPLIFY love, for "God is love".

      For Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS? As God really cares about what you think and your stupid philosophy empty words as godless alone trash person (anyone who deny God is a godless alone trash person)… Another reason none can respect you, you are a lier as any modern Goddenier.. And we hope the next generation will be better then you and forget about you and your empty stupid worthless atheism not even worst to clean my ass. … you are just empty like it.
      Then why only godless alone trash people are obsessed with hell, while we are not? Another reason to do not be like them, and live with this constantly fear… What idiots!
      For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people
      constantly talk about God, showing their obsession, are made not to
      help anyhow your godless alone life but to trap you into this empty
      stupid cult called atheism they know we live in the time of stupidity
      and godless trash people so they need to capture them as more as they
      can.
      They know you are the most stupid, weakest and alone people in
      the face of earth and they need to take advantages on you. They know you
      run anytime you see godless ass to kiss it. That what this empty BS
      cult atheism make you be, without God and without dignity. But let see
      how you are in trapped in this cult: Let see how many godless rats are
      here with their empty words and life, just as their cult called atheism.
      Why? Why Godless alone trash people want see the existence of God
      when it is clear that if they and all the things they see around (earth,
      stars, planets and so on) if they are creation something must created
      them. For real no respect for those godless blind trash people. God is
      what they do not know have and do not know in their miserable alone
      trash life. But God will take care about them as well, once death as

      godless alone trash one.... We really do not need this empty and

      thinks God cares to exist what those poor alone people think about him.
      No respect for them and their miserable godless alone life. (they are
      also godless ass kissers, as they run anytime they see a godless alone
      person... that what happen when you do not have God in your life, you
      lose your dignity, and you start to be disgusting in that way)... Oh
      anyway when you stopped to believe in God something died on you but you
      are so pathetic that you are not willing to admit it (right?). What
      trashy people without shame they deny their creator, and they will be

He did not seem to communicate with a bullhorn and with a tone of shaming and guilt-tripping people into accepting salvation like most evangelicals Christians do. Shame has destroyed more lives than it has helped.; a young person can be destroyed by shame as such unhealthy feelings often lead to drink and drugs. He also did not judge them in the way that Christians do, despite the Bible's injunction to "Judge not, that ye be not judged." This is my issue with Christians and how they attempt to shame people into their own belief system and faith. Nevertheless I am a believer and have had remarkable (miraculous, in one case) answers to prayer within my life as well.

      For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people
      constantly talk about God, showing their obsession, are made not to
      help anyhow your godless alone life but to trap you into this empty
      stupid cult called atheism they know we live in the time of stupidity
      and godless trash people so they need to capture them as more as they
      can.
      They know you are the most stupid, weakest and alone people in
      the face of earth and they need to take advantages on you. They know you
      run anytime you see godless ass to kiss it. That what this empty BS
      cult atheism make you be, without God and without dignity. But let see
      how you are in trapped in this cult: Let see how many godless rats are
      here with their empty words and life, just as their cult called atheism.
      Why? Why Godless alone trash people want see the existence of God
      when it is clear that if they and all the things they see around (earth,
      stars, planets and so on) if they are creation something must created
      them. For real no respect for those godless blind trash people. God is
      what they do not know have and do not know in their miserable alone
      trash life. But God will take care about them as well, once death as
      anyone alse. Let's hope we will have better generation that those
      godless alone trash one.... We really do not need this empty and
      worthless cult called atheism and those modern godless alone idiots who
      thinks God cares to exist what those poor alone people think about him.
      No respect for them and their miserable godless alone life. (they are
      also godless ass kissers, as they run anytime they see a godless alone
      person... that what happen when you do not have God in your life, you
      lose your dignity, and you start to be disgusting in that way)... Oh
      anyway when you stopped to believe in God something died on you but you
      are so pathetic that you are not willing to admit it (right?). What
      trashy people without shame they deny their creator, and they will be
      judge for it.... Liars ad patetich as any Goddeniers. so their worthless
      empty life without him.... They are even the weakest people, because if
      they are wrong, they are the ones who will pay for denying God... Won't
      be in their shoes. No respect for them....
      I told you this godless
      is the worst generation (those people are just empty and worthless as
      the cult they are in), and when it will be gone with their stupid
      empty, worthless atheism that does not going anywhere, that do not offer

      weak losers!!!!! ... Do not call them atheist but godless alone souless
      trash. Let's forget about those worthless empty people and their
      worthless and empty cult do not even good to clean the dirtiest motel.
      WHEN YOU WILL BE GONE NONE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU AND YOUR STUPID CULt
      CALLED ATHEISM. You are the worst of people, no respect for you:...
      those are juss godless alone trash people, liers as any Godeniers with

      people are so weak and alone that they wait for an empty videos from an
      obsessed godless person to kiss his ass, disgustingly (no God, No
      Dignity) it would not change their life, actually more alone and empty,
      (they do not even have a real community) empty life they live empty shit
      they are in like this stupid cult called Atheism! No respect for them.
      (They are very weak, empty and frustrated people, a life that none will

      no God will pay for it, soon or later... No won't be a godless alone
      trash person into an empty cult not even good for my ass such atheism,
      that offers them nothing. But emptiness and lonlyness for their
      miserabile godless alone life. No respect for them. They are just empty

      all the emptiness for nothing they are facing in their ridicolous
      miserable alone life! It is time to throw on the trash empty atheism and
      godless alone trash people, they are not even worthless to clean shit.

      Because saying that we are born into sin and that we are lowly human beings that need to beg and grovel for forgiveness doesn't exactly help the self-esteem, when you think about it, does it?
      We are not fallen human beings but risen apes, for those that accept evolution (reality).

    I remember seeing a clip recently where an atheist (I think it was Dawkins) said he couldn't accept any evidence for the existence of "God". He basically said that he would consider himself insane or hallucinating if such evidence appeared. And while I agree with Kierkegaard's argument that living life as a human being requires some form of Faith, I find the rejection of any evidence for the existence of God or even a "spiritual realm" rather narcissistic. I understand it to mean that Dawkins and others like him are the final arbiters of moral and intellectual realities and any evidence to the contrary must be rejected by others. This may be true in their own mind but doesn't necessarily hold true for the rest of humanity. Also, Dawkin's form of argumentation just appears to be that anything that the Bible says that he doesn't understand or can't interpret must be "evil" and must be rejected out of hand and that seems the height of egotism.

      One of the problems here is that two different understandings of "evidence" get conflated. One is that of scientific evidence and the other is more like the evidence presented in a courtroom. While they are related they aren't identical, and I think that guys like Dawkins, being a scientist, ignore the distinction. With metaphysics, no matter what form it takes, you're never going to have a slam dunk argument one way or the other, if you limit your evidence to the "scientific."

      @@robgrano6814 The atheist in the video I referenced said the if he saw physical evidence written across the sky among the stars he would assume he was insane or hallucinating. He just rejected the idea that there is any evidence for the proof of God. His rationale seemed to be that since God doesn't exist then there can be no acceptable evidence that proves God does exist. He has drawn a conclusion without accepting even the possibility that there could be proof to the contrary. The inverse of most rational and scientific arguments as I understand them.
