@Austin Mark It's easier to hate a group when you ignore the actually people in said group. I see this plenty on facebook, a lot of people on the left thinks that being a christian automatically makes you part of the Westboro baptist church. It's ironically the same argument these people will argue against with islam.
@Austin Mark sorry, i didn't word it in the best way. I was saying that it's easier for people to demonize a group (Christians in this case) by grouping them into another category they dislike (conservative in this case)

ATHEISM IS LIBERATING AND EMPOWERING... I'm so glad, I am no longer a brainwashed irrationalist, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY I AM NOT ALONE. Grow Atheist Community, Grow!!
Thormp1, cheers! Your enthusiasm has awakened pleasant old memories. When I quit religion I felt like a slave who had got rid of his shackles . Liberating indeed! Enjoy your freedom.
Hear hear! Glad you're taking it in such strides. I started my first steps as an atheist by learning about the theories around atomic decay, and the theories that end with the absolute obliteration of all mass in the universe. In the grand scheme of things, we basically don't even exist. Yay!
Atheist are people who haven't found the truth yet, keep looking for the answers, put your ego in a pocket and observe in a neutral state of consciousness. Judgment free, without bios, know you know nothing, then wisdom is created.
The Bible contains plenty of things that are true. It contains descriptions of cities that actually exist. That still doesn't mean that snakes can talk.

There is no soul. There is no mind. There is only the whole body. Spirit is the life force or energy that forms the body and sustains it until the life force abandons it at death. What we are is the life force or eternal energy of the Cosmos. I don't know anything about any gods.
@@JamesRichardWiley "I don't know anything about gods" But I'll take fantastical concepts like "life force" and "eternal energy", and pretend they exist, condescendingly referring to religious concepts that ARE NO DIFFERENT than what you mention. Its semantic dumbfuckery that can't be substantisted through actual phenomena, so you do word play with "force" and "energy", dishonestly pretending that your version of religious conceptions is real....or seemingly profound by saying "eternal" and "cosmos". ...and no, "spirit" is etymologically the "breathe of god", and since its creation referred dualistic existence of separate realms, outside of matter. Quit lying, and keep your religion, supernaturalism, and mysticism out of science....and quit trying to conform your religious ideology to modern science. "Force" and "energy" refer to specific phenomena, none of which are what you are talking about. But yes, there isn't likely a soul, as its just another incoherent concept with little to no operational definition, like "God"...or "life force". We do have a mind, but its formed as a perception by the brain through introspection, retrospection, and prospection. The "whole body" is just a transport vehicle for the brain.
I can give specifics of soul, easy done. James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, there you are, soul, specifically.

@@afekhideafekhide7499 Uh, no, it is not a play on words. Atheism merely calls out the assumption that there is a God. It points out that, like everything else, the existence of God is a claim that needs to be substantiated. Atheism just makes the point that God is an unsubstantiated claim and as such, atheists do not believe the claim for that very reason. Do you understand now?
@@Haroldbeavis1969 I understand atheistic claims. God is real to me and I know as I know my neighbours or colleagues that He is. Now, I understand not everyone is blessed with that understanding and some have an unstable corrupt mind which always departs from the reality of God. If a man (without understanding or experience of God) sincerely seeks to know God, the first thing he should do is to separate himself from the pity party godless fellow and beyond inane arguments. He should look deeply beyond mere presentations. He should verify all the claims at his disposal. Claims of healings, experiences, resurrections, history, trance, visions, prophecies, voices, supernatural apparitions, spirits, angelic occurrences, human phylogeny, distances, cosmic symphony, nature etc. Honestly after any man has rigidly done that He would find there are more than he thought. Atheism is not tenable my friend.

@@klevens5496 Congratulations. You've just provided a form of argument which produces: "The cosmos is the cosmos. It was always there." No god is required.
@Kirrily Ferngrove Very good point , but you are the only person I've seen put it that way around. Religious people say god is eternal but cant see that the universe could be. Dr Lawrence Krauss has shown that the big bang could have come from nothing in his book 'Something from Nothing' he doesn't claim it did just that it could have, mathematically. You need to be good at math to understand it fully. There is a series called on youtube 'before the big bang' 9 episodes high quality with the smartest brains explaining all the theories. Also very mathematical but interesting.
Kirrily Ferngrove that's not the only option as has been stated. I'm wondering why you didn't respond to the guy who pointed out that there are plenty of theories that state other explanations that the one you posted. Also there is the fact that plenty of scientists just say that while there are theories we just don't know and until there is new evidence we can analyze we won't know.
Its amazing how easily every single thiest argument can be proven wrong or illogical with just a few questions. Yet billions are somehow tricked into believing it. Mind blowing.
My biggest issue with people that take what holy books got right and say, “see? Now we should believe all everything in the book.” Always seem to ignore when the book gets something wrong. A source of information is only reliable as long as it can continually demonstrate its reliability. The moment that continued demonstration stops it can no longer be assumed as correct or reliable
Yes, there’s a huge difference between a theoretical conversation about a source that consistently has accurate information and whether to have trust in that source, and the real world where the book in question is the bible or another holy book. The moment we talk specifics the whole argument becomes laughable. Sheep don’t get their stripes by mating in front of striped fence posts. The universe, planet earth, and humans weren’t all created all of a sudden at the same time. Forcing a pregnant woman to drink dirty water and seeing if her baby dies isn’t a reliable way to tell if she was unfaithful. And the list goes on and on and on.

on a related side-note, you CAN demonstrate a number of quantum physics principles observable at a scale that can be seen with the naked eye particularly in relation to photon behavior. The double-slit experiment is probably the most famous example. You can also demonstrate quantum uncertainty with just a set of polarized filters.
*Actually, it was a Jewish Philosopher who first theorized there were 10 dimensions. Lets see if you can guess what his reference material was? (Heres a hint... Its called the Hebrew Old Testament*
@@thetruthchannel349 The old testament also goes into great detail about withcraft, spells, and curses. No demonstration of anything remotely similar has held up to scrutiny. Ever. Period. That someone attributed an insight into the natural world to the Torah doesn't give it validity. Does the Torah say there are 10 dimensions? No. I'm not sure what passage could even be pointed to as a hint. Muslims attribute the Koran with predicting the atomic structure of iron but it's pretty clearly reverse engineering. If you would like to point out a passage I'd be interested but I'm preparing myself to be underwhelmed.

They are not a scam. People use them incorrectly. Your broker is like a croupier in a casino. You expect him/her to place your trade(bet) accurately at the best price and to show evidence of having bought said security and placed it insafekeeping in your name. You then either lose or win. Do you think the croupier in the casino can bet any better than you?
@Anne O'Nymous It's easy to be "far better" on occasion, due to chance. This is when people give the broker money. That same broker, next year, may do worse, again due to chance. If some brokers were, indeed, better than average over the long run, they'd be the only ones in business. As you can see, there are many brokers still in business, and yet, on average, they overwhelmingly don't to better than chance over the long run.

Not a "bad" call, but very typical. Has read something he thinks is gonna floor Matt, something scientific about atoms and the more scientific "sounding" the claim - let me get there... - the more scientific sounding the more accurate it has to be, right? Like so many they make a point, Matt destroys it and they say "uh huh, right....." and just continue on never having actually registered why Matt (or others) have said. Anyone else sure that after the call he was likely MORE sure of his beliefs since he didn't really hear a word.
Ross Carlson hopefully though, some other theists have also figured this to make a good argument and actually heard Matt's counter and come just a little bit closer to losing their faith. Which is ultimately the point.
The ending there was beautiful, though. The deafening silence... "Oh, hello? Thought I got cut off there... Ahh well, won't take any more of your time..." Lol!

Let's see if I can predict this call. Theist starts out with false praise and smug confidence. Starts in with the stuttering and stammering as soon as their position is easily dismantled. Starts getting angry and tries to talk over the hosts. Accuses hosts of not letting them vomit forth bullshit after a base assertion. Refuses to answer the question asked and starts in with whataboutism and strawmen. Finally loses all control and sometimes threatens hosts with eternal torment. Caller gets hung up on or hangs up out of frustration. Ok... let's see how I do. 🤣
How can anyone believe such a ridiculous prospect? The soul is 1/10,000 the width of a human hair, and located near the human heart? WTF Everyone knows the soul is 1/1,000,000 of of a card whisker, and located near the dog's anus. OMG, where do these people come from?
This guy reminds me of my dad. You challenge one of his assertions and he responds with more assertions and the occasional fallacious argument. One time my dad and me were talking and he was saying that in Eastern Europe there were these old women who ‘spoke’ to water, saying nice things, which gave the water healing powers. I asked how he knew this was true, he said that many people came to them for healing and this continued for a long time. I tried to point out the bullshit in that argument, by bringing up the true story that people believed that the ring worn by King Charles 1 was holy and could heal any who kissed of any illness (this applies to many other kings and also the pope), people would line up and pay a fee in order to meet the king to kiss his ring, the crowds would number in the hundreds. This practice is still believed by some people to this day(except it’s the popes ring). My dad responded to the story with a scoff and the reply ‘well metal obviously can’t heal people’.
1/10000th the width of a human hair isn't really the smallest thing ever. Production photolithography is already at 7nm, with 5 and 3nm pitches in the works. If this guy thinks there is a soul that is that big, show us a picture. A scanning-electron microscope aught to do it! P.s. quantum physics absolutely is a science; if it didn't produce effective models your smartphone wouldn't work. ;).

Before we knew all about the biological, chemical-addled and electricity-based way the brain works it makes some kind of sense to think mushrooms or whatever "open up your soul." Now that we know exactly how and why they affect the brain it's foolish to add an unfalsifiable soul into the mix.
The debate is over. No self-respecting god would have made such an inferior world. Too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry. Not enough space, not enough resources and not enough quality entertainment.
and, the torture and the killing of the true innocents---children. who could stand by and watch a child being beaten,, raped, dying a painful death by cancer, starve to death, etc., and NOT do something to help? So, this whole idea of a "god'who LOVES you is ridiculous. And, most of society, today, across the planet, long gave up the idea that the "sins of the parent' should pass onto their children, and their children should suffer and be outcasts in society. So, so much for the idea that because "Adam and Eve" "sinned', the rest of humanity should suffer.

If he honestly would use his method of “gaining faith in the reliability of the source”, he would have to reject texts such as the bhagavad gita or the bible, because religious texts simply do not make enough reliable claims to justify the things they also claim, which can’t be demonstrated.

btw, the most ridiculous part of "Christianity" is the belief that we should all be GRATEFUL because "Jesus Christ" died for our "sins". Think about it. Say you have a good friend, and one day, you say or do something that offends them. They tell you that because of this, they can never forgive you and they walk away. Now say they return a short time later and tell you that they have found a way to forgive you. They're going to have a child, make sure it suffers and dies a horrible death, and once that has happened, they will forgive you. What would YOU think? Your friend is nuts? Wouldn't you say that you'd prefer they have nothing more to do with you---that they NOT forgive you----in order to save any child being born to your friend and suffer what he described? Of course you would. And, just consider that your friend could have come up with hundreds of other ways to forgive you, or just decide to forgive you. Period. So, we're supposed to be GRATEFUL to a god who comes up with such an idea as the only way he/she/it can forgive you? "I" didn;t get asked if this was okay with me, and none of us did. It's crazy, it's madness. I'm supposed to be "grateful" for a father who would treat his son this way when the god could EASILY just decide to forgive without all this "drama". And, geez, why could you think a god , who could do this to his son, loves YOU. OBVIOUSLY, he doesn't even give a damn about his own son, so why do you think he/she/it gives a damn about you? if you weren't BRAINWASHED, you'd see how NUTS this whole story is. so, just look at how your "god" allows so much suffering in the world ALL because "Adam and Eve" who were as innocent as small children, disobeyed him/her/it? geez, your god desperately needs 'Good Parenting 101". He/she/it is obviously incredibly immature, impulsive, and won't admit his/her/it has TERRIBLE judgement. so, if he/she/it exists, mankind, generation after generation, is suffering from his/her/it INCREDIBLE EGO. So, I am most definitely an atheist. I'm FINE with dying eventually, and letting "the worms eat me'. And, btw, perhaps you're aware that man is the only animal who knows he will die some day. SO, because man could not accept that, early man came up with this whole idea of an 'afterlife". and, no, I have zero fear of dying and "going to hell'. To me, if there's a heaven, I'd be stuck, for all eternity, with a bunch of incredibly boring, hypocritical "Christians", And "eternity" with you guys makes hell sound SO much better. Show me a "loving god' and I'm on board. Right now, all the 'gods' i've aware of all are psychopaths, homicidal maniacs who ENJOY watching humans suffer.
arx754 Completely agree with you that the "gave his son blah blaha" story is just stupid. If the neighbour's son kicks a ball through your window and you go over and say it is OK they don't have to fix the broken wondow and you then go home and punish your child for the broken window you are a very good father. Is there any difference between god and a father doing this? Secondly, god supposedly gave his son to die, one huge sacrifice but after three days he just woke him up and away they go go, wow, who does he think he fooled? If I give a blanket to a homeless person am I doing any good? Yes, most probably. And if I take that blanket back after three days, am i still acting very nice? The whole story of giving his son to die is just so damn bizarre that it is hard to believe that that is the basis of some people's beliefs.
@Truth I don't know what outlying sect of Jesus love you practice, but worshiping god and being grateful for your blessings and trials is a major tenant of most religions even non-christian. You will have to explain your opinion, maybe I don't understand what you mean.

@Truth : Every single Christian says that in their attempt to convert you. "Christianity" is based on that. That "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son....". (Heah, I was raised a "Christian", so I Im familiar with the Bible and the "teachings" of "Christianity")

That's really not a good reason to be an atheist. Maybe the deity wants the mass shootings to happen. Maybe the deity just doesn't care. There are plenty of religions with outright evil gods (arguably, the god of the OT, even). Actually, god is nowhere to be found during mass shootings, during weddings, births, vacations, SAT exams, housing fires, sporting events, tornadoes, etc., etc.

It is surprising to think of the fact that the concept of "soul", as we know it, was born in Plato (as "ψυχή" "psūkhē"), to justify the "world of ideas", the hyperuranium, in which abstract (universal) concepts are developed. Christian Neoplatonists (Augustine etc.) have re-used this concept in a theological function; before, Christians, did not know this concept at all - the concept of "soul" -: Paul of Tarsus and the Doctrine, up to that moment spoke of "resurrection of bodies ", as the "Apostolic Creed" still bears witness to in the last verses: "I believe the resurrection of the flesh" (not of the soul).

I have in my basement 3 things 1. Real alive dinosaur 2. Real alive transparent angel 3. And my old boots Which one is real, I m not going to show anybody because some of those things will reveal only to me :D
@- Evidence is not always in the form of something solid. These man on the right n the video, does not except another explanation than his own. I'm not religious at all but he is just mixing for example the word "soul" with religion and that is so wrong. Talking about an uninformed person! That's what he is. The subject was God but he does his best NOT to be neutral. So he's not capable talking about this subject and tries to convince people of his conviction.
@@Lamster66 I can also explain why my neighbors cat was flying through the air last night and had even a cape on his back! Everything can be explained if you want it to be explained, no matter what! The experiences that I had since my childhood goes beyond the narrow-thinking of some or perhaps most. But I understand that it's a "see before believing" thing. I do understand that. I'm not of the youngest anymore, this makes it a life of experiences of all sort in this domain and other. If someone don't want to believe, and I mean "don't" want to, than it's a sure thing... he will not believe. He will believe whatever he wants to believe as long he can dismiss everything and explain it by other means. Even my own brother can't believe certain things (nothing to do with this topic), even if I lay the proof on the table in front of him. Even then he will make up an explanation for not believing it. I asked him once why. I guess he was in a good mood because he gave me the answer. He said because he couldn't cope with that to be a reality. True or not. He couldn't accept it, it was to different than what he was led to believe all his life. That's that comfort zone that's talked about in psychology. Back to my own experiences, I bet my house and my life on it that when the experiences I had, that guy in the video who talks nonsense, would run away crying and screaming for his mommy. I had mostly good but some bad. I learnt from it and can defend myself now. I laugh with shows like "Ghost hunters". That's more a movie stage and filled with man made effects, all for the money. I had premonitions during my life, nothings strange to it. It's a part of who we are, it's not a fabric of the mind. There are scientists and even quantum physicists who are talking about other dimensions and astral levels these days. So you got one with a high degree that says something and another one with a high degree that says the opposite. It's not a question who's right but what kind of experiences you had in that domain. I had my proof over and over again during my life, that's all what matters. I have not to convince someone else. They will discover it for themselves when their time has come. About me, I have no schizophrenia or any other mind decease. So, I think that's it a fair comment from me to say that it's a "must see before believing" thing. And oh boy... I have seen it! PS: I am really not religious.
@@Lamster66 It's like I said, it's a "first seeing before believing" thing. If it were true, I can only think at two options, telekinesis or really spirits having fun. But normal "positive" deceased people are not doing that. They are not meant to always be in contact with our world Only when there is a good constructive reason or when you are going there yourself on a visit (what I've done once, it's called out-of-body experience). Negative spirits or entities... that's another ball game all together. They don't follow rules. I never heard the term physical spiritualist before, he made that up but why the word physical? And in fact the phenomenon can be explained, once I would have seen it so I know what I'm looking at or the situation I'm in. The surprise is that I would explain it scientifically, not by mambo jambo terms. I would go if I were you. If it's true... you never get another chance in "this" life to experience that.

"I don't know anything about gods"
But I'll take fantastical concepts like "life force" and "eternal energy", and pretend they exist, condescendingly referring to religious concepts that ARE NO DIFFERENT than what you mention. Its semantic dumbfuckery that can't be substantisted through actual phenomena, so you do word play with "force" and "energy", dishonestly pretending that your version of religious conceptions is real....or seemingly profound by saying "eternal" and "cosmos".
...and no, "spirit" is etymologically the "breathe of god", and since its creation referred dualistic existence of separate realms, outside of matter. Quit lying, and keep your religion, supernaturalism, and mysticism out of science....and quit trying to conform your religious ideology to modern science. "Force" and "energy" refer to specific phenomena, none of which are what you are talking about.
But yes, there isn't likely a soul, as its just another incoherent concept with little to no operational definition, like "God"...or "life force". We do have a mind, but its formed as a perception by the brain through introspection, retrospection, and prospection. The "whole body" is just a transport vehicle for the brain.

@Kirrily Ferngrove Very good point , but you are the only person I've seen put it that way around. Religious people say god is eternal but cant see that the universe could be. Dr Lawrence Krauss has shown that the big bang could have come from nothing in his book 'Something from Nothing' he doesn't claim it did just that it could have, mathematically. You need to be good at math to understand it fully. There is a series called on youtube 'before the big bang' 9 episodes high quality with the smartest brains explaining all the theories. Also very mathematical but interesting.
Kirrily Ferngrove that's not the only option as has been stated. I'm wondering why you didn't respond to the guy who pointed out that there are plenty of theories that state other explanations that the one you posted. Also there is the fact that plenty of scientists just say that while there are theories we just don't know and until there is new evidence we can analyze we won't know.
Its amazing how easily every single thiest argument can be proven wrong or illogical with just a few questions. Yet billions are somehow tricked into believing it. Mind blowing.
My biggest issue with people that take what holy books got right and say, “see? Now we should believe all everything in the book.” Always seem to ignore when the book gets something wrong. A source of information is only reliable as long as it can continually demonstrate its reliability. The moment that continued demonstration stops it can no longer be assumed as correct or reliable
Yes, there’s a huge difference between a theoretical conversation about a source that consistently has accurate information and whether to have trust in that source, and the real world where the book in question is the bible or another holy book. The moment we talk specifics the whole argument becomes laughable. Sheep don’t get their stripes by mating in front of striped fence posts. The universe, planet earth, and humans weren’t all created all of a sudden at the same time. Forcing a pregnant woman to drink dirty water and seeing if her baby dies isn’t a reliable way to tell if she was unfaithful. And the list goes on and on and on.

@@thetruthchannel349 The old testament also goes into great detail about withcraft, spells, and curses. No demonstration of anything remotely similar has held up to scrutiny. Ever. Period.
That someone attributed an insight into the natural world to the Torah doesn't give it validity. Does the Torah say there are 10 dimensions? No. I'm not sure what passage could even be pointed to as a hint. Muslims attribute the Koran with predicting the atomic structure of iron but it's pretty clearly reverse engineering. If you would like to point out a passage I'd be interested but I'm preparing myself to be underwhelmed.

Well, yes, stock brokers are a scam in the sense that they don't pick better stocks than random.
They are not a scam. People use them incorrectly. Your broker is like a croupier in a casino. You expect him/her to place your trade(bet) accurately at the best price and to show evidence of having bought said security and placed it insafekeeping in your name. You then either lose or win. Do you think the croupier in the casino can bet any better than you?
@Anne O'Nymous It's easy to be "far better" on occasion, due to chance. This is when people give the broker money. That same broker, next year, may do worse, again due to chance. If some brokers were, indeed, better than average over the long run, they'd be the only ones in business. As you can see, there are many brokers still in business, and yet, on average, they overwhelmingly don't to better than chance over the long run.

TRANSCRIPT? This was so brutally, logically explained - I'd love to be able to master these arguments.
Not a "bad" call, but very typical. Has read something he thinks is gonna floor Matt, something scientific about atoms and the more scientific "sounding" the claim - let me get there... - the more scientific sounding the more accurate it has to be, right? Like so many they make a point, Matt destroys it and they say "uh huh, right....." and just continue on never having actually registered why Matt (or others) have said. Anyone else sure that after the call he was likely MORE sure of his beliefs since he didn't really hear a word.
Ross Carlson hopefully though, some other theists have also figured this to make a good argument and actually heard Matt's counter and come just a little bit closer to losing their faith. Which is ultimately the point.
Religion is an illness that can be cured only by honesty and a sincere desire to discover what is true.
Nah, he's an asshole.
The ending there was beautiful, though. The deafening silence... "Oh, hello? Thought I got cut off there... Ahh well, won't take any more of your time..." Lol!

You may keep it if you promise me eternal bliss.

Was he expecting Matt and John to just go, "Actually, you know what, that story about measuring the soul sounds completely legit. Right, shut down the show, we're convinced."

Everyone knows the soul is 1/1,000,000 of of a card whisker, and located near the dog's anus. OMG, where do these people come from?
This guy reminds me of my dad. You challenge one of his assertions and he responds with more assertions and the occasional fallacious argument.
One time my dad and me were talking and he was saying that in Eastern Europe there were these old women who ‘spoke’ to water, saying nice things, which gave the water healing powers. I asked how he knew this was true, he said that many people came to them for healing and this continued for a long time.
I tried to point out the bullshit in that argument, by bringing up the true story that people believed that the ring worn by King Charles 1 was holy and could heal any who kissed of any illness (this applies to many other kings and also the pope), people would line up and pay a fee in order to meet the king to kiss his ring, the crowds would number in the hundreds. This practice is still believed by some people to this day(except it’s the popes ring).
My dad responded to the story with a scoff and the reply ‘well metal obviously can’t heal people’.
1/10000th the width of a human hair isn't really the smallest thing ever. Production photolithography is already at 7nm, with 5 and 3nm pitches in the works. If this guy thinks there is a soul that is that big, show us a picture. A scanning-electron microscope aught to do it!

If he honestly would use his method of “gaining faith in the reliability of the source”, he would have to reject texts such as the bhagavad gita or the bible, because religious texts simply do not make enough reliable claims to justify the things they also claim, which can’t be demonstrated.

@@klevens5496 No matter how many times you repeat it, that doesn't make it true. LOL
btw, the most ridiculous part of "Christianity" is the belief that we should all be GRATEFUL because "Jesus Christ" died for our "sins".
Think about it. Say you have a good friend, and one day, you say or do something that offends them. They tell you that because of this, they can never forgive you and they walk away. Now say they return a short time later and tell you that they have found a way to forgive you. They're going to have a child, make sure it suffers and dies a horrible death, and once that has happened, they will forgive you.
What would YOU think? Your friend is nuts? Wouldn't you say that you'd prefer they have nothing more to do with you---that they NOT forgive you----in order to save any child being born to your friend and suffer what he described? Of course you would.
And, just consider that your friend could have come up with hundreds of other ways to forgive you, or just decide to forgive you. Period.
So, we're supposed to be GRATEFUL to a god who comes up with such an idea as the only way he/she/it can forgive you? "I" didn;t get asked if this was okay with me, and none of us did. It's crazy, it's madness. I'm supposed to be "grateful" for a father who would treat his son this way when the god could EASILY just decide to forgive without all this "drama". And, geez, why could you think a god , who could do this to his son, loves YOU. OBVIOUSLY, he doesn't even give a damn about his own son, so why do you think he/she/it gives a damn about you?
if you weren't BRAINWASHED, you'd see how NUTS this whole story is. so, just look at how your "god" allows so much suffering in the world ALL because "Adam and Eve" who were as innocent as small children, disobeyed him/her/it? geez, your god desperately needs 'Good Parenting 101". He/she/it is obviously incredibly immature, impulsive, and won't admit his/her/it has TERRIBLE judgement. so, if he/she/it exists, mankind, generation after generation, is suffering from his/her/it INCREDIBLE EGO.
So, I am most definitely an atheist. I'm FINE with dying eventually, and letting "the worms eat me'. And, btw, perhaps you're aware that man is the only animal who knows he will die some day. SO, because man could not accept that, early man came up with this whole idea of an 'afterlife". and, no, I have zero fear of dying and "going to hell'. To me, if there's a heaven, I'd be stuck, for all eternity, with a bunch of incredibly boring, hypocritical "Christians", And "eternity" with you guys makes hell sound SO much better.
Show me a "loving god' and I'm on board. Right now, all the 'gods' i've aware of all are psychopaths, homicidal maniacs who ENJOY watching humans suffer.

Completely agree with you that the "gave his son blah blaha" story is just stupid.
If the neighbour's son kicks a ball through your window and you go over and say it is OK they don't have to fix the broken wondow and you then go home and punish your child for the broken window you are a very good father. Is there any difference between god and a father doing this?
Secondly, god supposedly gave his son to die, one huge sacrifice but after three days he just woke him up and away they go go, wow, who does he think he fooled? If I give a blanket to a homeless person am I doing any good? Yes, most probably. And if I take that blanket back after three days, am i still acting very nice?
The whole story of giving his son to die is just so damn bizarre that it is hard to believe that that is the basis of some people's beliefs.
If the bible is actually a true account, then the god of that book is really the devil in disguise.
@Truth religion says so. Not just grateful, but that you should get down on your knees and worship.
@Truth I don't know what outlying sect of Jesus love you practice, but worshiping god and being grateful for your blessings and trials is a major tenant of most religions even non-christian. You will have to explain your opinion, maybe I don't understand what you mean. If I really cared to, I'm sure I could do a quick bible search for the words gratitude and worship and come up with a dozen examples. But I'm trying to rewatch the entirety of game of thrones before the premier of the final season, winter is coming.
@Truth : Every single Christian says that in their attempt to convert you. "Christianity" is based on that. That "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son....".
(Heah, I was raised a "Christian", so I Im familiar with the Bible and the "teachings" of "Christianity")

No size of Soul is mentioned in BG...the guy has mixed up, I think
It is surprising to think of the fact that the concept of "soul", as we know it, was born in Plato (as "ψυχή" "psūkhē"), to justify the "world of ideas", the hyperuranium, in which abstract (universal) concepts are developed. Christian Neoplatonists (Augustine etc.) have re-used this concept in a theological function; before, Christians, did not know this concept at all - the concept of "soul" -: Paul of Tarsus and the Doctrine, up to that moment spoke of "resurrection of bodies ", as the "Apostolic Creed" still bears witness to in the last verses: "I believe the resurrection of the flesh" (not of the soul).

@- Evidence is not always in the form of something solid. These man on the right n the video, does not except another explanation than his own. I'm not religious at all but he is just mixing for example the word "soul" with religion and that is so wrong. Talking about an uninformed person! That's what he is. The subject was God but he does his best NOT to be neutral. So he's not capable talking about this subject and tries to convince people of his conviction.
@@Lamster66 I can also explain why my neighbors cat was flying through the air last night and had even a cape on his back! Everything can be explained if you want it to be explained, no matter what! The experiences that I had since my childhood goes beyond the narrow-thinking of some or perhaps most. But I understand that it's a "see before believing" thing. I do understand that. I'm not of the youngest anymore, this makes it a life of experiences of all sort in this domain and other. If someone don't want to believe, and I mean "don't" want to, than it's a sure thing... he will not believe. He will believe whatever he wants to believe as long he can dismiss everything and explain it by other means. Even my own brother can't believe certain things (nothing to do with this topic), even if I lay the proof on the table in front of him. Even then he will make up an explanation for not believing it. I asked him once why. I guess he was in a good mood because he gave me the answer. He said because he couldn't cope with that to be a reality. True or not. He couldn't accept it, it was to different than what he was led to believe all his life. That's that comfort zone that's talked about in psychology. Back to my own experiences, I bet my house and my life on it that when the experiences I had, that guy in the video who talks nonsense, would run away crying and screaming for his mommy. I had mostly good but some bad. I learnt from it and can defend myself now. I laugh with shows like "Ghost hunters". That's more a movie stage and filled with man made effects, all for the money. I had premonitions during my life, nothings strange to it. It's a part of who we are, it's not a fabric of the mind. There are scientists and even quantum physicists who are talking about other dimensions and astral levels these days. So you got one with a high degree that says something and another one with a high degree that says the opposite. It's not a question who's right but what kind of experiences you had in that domain. I had my proof over and over again during my life, that's all what matters. I have not to convince someone else. They will discover it for themselves when their time has come. About me, I have no schizophrenia or any other mind decease. So, I think that's it a fair comment from me to say that it's a "must see before believing" thing. And oh boy... I have seen it! PS: I am really not religious.
@@Lamster66 It's like I said, it's a "first seeing before believing" thing. If it were true, I can only think at two options, telekinesis or really spirits having fun. But normal "positive" deceased people are not doing that. They are not meant to always be in contact with our world Only when there is a good constructive reason or when you are going there yourself on a visit (what I've done once, it's called out-of-body experience). Negative spirits or entities... that's another ball game all together. They don't follow rules.
I never heard the term physical spiritualist before, he made that up but why the word physical? And in fact the phenomenon can be explained, once I would have seen it so I know what I'm looking at or the situation I'm in. The surprise is that I would explain it scientifically, not by mambo jambo terms.
I would go if I were you. If it's true... you never get another chance in "this" life to experience that.
@@ExperiencedGhost This world didn’t come from nothing. That’s like saying 0+0=1. There is a God that created us and this world. And his name is Jesus.

@@MrTheclevercat First of all I don’t believe in demigods. There is only ONE GOD and His name is Jesus Christ. Second of all I’m a teenager in high school. Please tell me how u think this world was made
Vedic literature has not been written in English. Since the concept of soul has not been properly defined, and most likely, neither has the whatever concept in the Vedas that has been translated as "soul", I cannot even be sure that what they are actually speaking about is a soul.
The uncertainty arises in the difference between the word "soul" and the absence of the thing itself.
Show me your soul.
Why does the word "atheist" exist? There's no word for someone not believing in 7 legged giant rabbits.
I think because a lot of people believe in God
Research online Scientifically Proven as Our Lord Jesus blood type discovered in the Holy Eucharist as part of the Catholic Faith it's so amazing plus many more great Miracles in the Catholic Faith.

Caller actually thinks he's making a point. How cute.
It all boils down to assumptions vs evidence.
Openmindedness is not simply being able to accept new information, it's also the ability to throw it back out when it's wrong.
Kind of the first time for me to listen to a calm discussion between a believer and an atheist. Usually, the believer tends to shout over the other and it’s hard to comprehend what they say
Jeepers, yes. Those yelling theists. Good thing that Matt never yells.

Of course we can demonstrate quantum mechanics. Can't build transistors without that understanding of the subatomic.
Yeah, I think Matt made a mistake there. I think he was thinking of String "theory" rather than quantum mechanics.

@@klevens5496 I don’t know what evidence you need to prove your claims. You made the claims, so you need to figure out how to prove them.
And lying about what I believe won’t help you prove your claims either. What you claim has nothing to do with what I believe, so trying to talk about what I believe is a waste of time for you.
@@FourDeuce01 What do u believe??
it take faith to believe in a god
it take faith to believe that there is no god
it take no faith to not believe in god
When I don't see any evidence when I should see evidence, then it is OK to believe in the nonexistence of what should leave that evidence. I'm OK with believing there is no Yahweh, just like I'm OK with believing there is no Zeus, and OK with believing there is no squadron of flying pigs.
I don't see how that equates to faith.
@@keepdancingmaria faith is belief in things without evidence. You have no evidence god doesn't exist, yet you believe God doesn't exist. You are believing this based in faith.
And no, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. That is argument from ignorance.
@@aierce Which god are you claiming that I don't believe in... that there is good evidence for? Cthulu? I won't believe in Cthulu without good evidence. Neither should you. Kmet? What's the evidence for Kmet? Pele? I like the idea of her, but I can't bring myself to believe in her simply because I like her fire and verve. I need evidence.
Srsly, give me a god with good evidence, and I'll consider him/her/it/them. I'll consider them on a case by case basis. Bring them on, WITH the evidence.
Yes... absence of evidence is evidence of absence, when there SHOULD be evidence. I can't believe in something with no evidence. Besides your chosen deity, what else do you believe in that there is no evidence for? That squadron of flying pigs?
@@keepdancingmaria it's logical to not believe in God due to lack of evidence. It's illgocial to believe God doesn't exist due to lack of evidence.
Tell me this. Do you even understand the difference between not believe in God, and believe God doesn't exist.
@@aierce Yes, I do understand that difference. I don't believe in any of the god propositions that have been explained to me. Instead of being snide and ignoring what I said, if you have good evidence for a particular god, give it. I'll consider it. You may convert me.
Hundreds of callers: "Why do you believe there is no God?"
There needs to be a FAQ video that callers are required to watch before they get on the air.
