There was so many red flags from Franzese when talking it was ridiculous. He showed he was extremely sexist by thinking it’s okay for men to be promiscuous but not women. He was not able to answer vlad about what parts of the Bible he values most. He has no proof of any existence of a God and he disregards that there have been thousands of different gods throughout history. For Franzese to say he is not religious while having bible scriptures tattooed on his arms is hilarious. Also he goes out of his way to promote his religion and his view of it. He is definitely religious. He just does not like the idea of being perceived as fanatically about it. A lot of the time it is the most uneducated and ignorant people who are the most religious and God fearing, along with former criminals or people who lacked stable parenting while growing up. But it is very common for former criminals to present themselves as religious and reformed as a way to look like they are different from their past ways. Religion is often used to control the masses into following specific guidelines written by man. Evolution has proven evidence, while religion goes off blindly followed ancient scriptures that some people refuse to question the accuracy of it all.
@@brynekingg8745 Yeah but believers of those other religions consider _yours_ the wrong one. Just the fact that your response was to vaguely call them pagan instead of slamming down conclusive evidence proving your god exists (and is the right one) should be a pretty big indicator that you don't actually know one exists.
I believe he’s talking about because he’s rich,famous, successful. Women will desire that. I highly doubt he means physically attractive. Flavor flav had women chasing him 🤷🏿♂️
@@socialscience88 we don’t know if he rich & he’s not famous at all i watched vlad for years & even watched his movie Ghost riding the whip & had no idea he did that & just found out how he looked last year

The standard of Morality changes from generation to generation, so doing what's moral because of what's considered right in a foggy world can be considered unrighteous 100yrs from now or even based on the past!
As a Muslim I enjoyed this exchange thoroughly. God bless and guide my fellow brothers and sisters of the Book. Must have this same conversation with a knowledgeable (preferably practicing, but can also be like him, ie in “faith”) Muslim.
props to Michael for not bursting out in laughter when vlad tried to brag about his body count and say he's considered desirable 😂😂 . only for your money Mr vlad... only for your money 😂
Franzese did a good job defending Christianity without being judgmental. The question I asked in 2010-2011 when I came to Christ was simple. Humans have a lot to say about this God question. But what does God have to say? When I sought the answer, I found Him.

I find that Religion is like wealth, it empowers you to become more of who you always were. That's why there are lots of religious, holier than thou assholes, but there's also many amazing people, like my grandma RIP, who are helping at the soup kitchen every week, constantly give to charity and live to help others
That’s a good way to look at it. At the end of the day it’s a justification for you how live (whether you’re a good person or an awful one) and it’s a cute idea to tell yourself or your kids when faced with the reality of mortality
religion is what keeps society from devolving into an animalistic jungle. if religion didnt exist, them homless niggas natural animal insticts would tell them to beat the shit out of your grandma (no disrespect, may she rest in peace) and everybody else and take all the food in that soup kitchen for themselves🤷♂🤷♂

@@NYCDreams212 sexism is natural. men can be promiscuous and not women bc men dont value promiscuous women. women value men who already get women, they dont like men who get no pussy at all. why u think Nick Cannon, Future, NBA YB, Chief Keef can all have 10th baby mamas each? not being sexist and thinking women and men are equal is a problem that will only lead to the destruction of society. u can clearly see how thinking that women can lead families and run house holds has degraded the American people. ~ 85% of ppl in jail came from single mother households. but u are right ab that other shit tho.
Life is Subjective, your journey is YOUR JOURNEY. It’s not about forcing your views on others. It’s about doing what works best for you. If you’re a Christian be a Christian , if you’re atheist be an atheist. At the end of the day. You must believe in what resonates with you, as long as you’re growing, learning, and living in alignment with who you truly are. That’s all that matters. What works for you might not work for others… and that’s ok
That sounds good but the fact is that all religions contradict each other. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way, and those that reject Christ (everyone that isn’t a Christian) are going to hell. If I, as a Christian, genuinely believe this to be the case then I am supposed to “push” my religion on others because I don’t want them to go to hell.

I am a christian true to my heart and believing in the Bible makes me a better person and if I’m wrong when i die i have nothing to lose but if you’re wrong as a non believer then you might be spending all eternity in hell
Actually you do have everything to lose. You also have a 1 in 18,000 chance of worshipping the right god. You spent your life convinced of something that was false. Thats a loss to me. If your god does exist then it is the fault of that god for not providing sufficient evidence of its existence when it allegedly knows exactly what it would take to convince everyone of its existence. Besides, heaven sounds alot like hell to me anyway.
@@Sciences0311 well i do believe in a merciful god and a common them in most religion is just to be a good person and if my god would put a good person in hell just because he or she didn’t believe then that wouldn’t make it a merciful god

Epistemology is preferable to uncritical acceptance of the dogma a person just happened to grow up in.
I was dying at micheal saying for neil to explain to him, where the human body came from, had to keep replaying. I feel like something in vlad wants to change, but the other half is holding him back from changing.
his emotions make him want to change. whats holding him is his brain accepting that facts data and evidence proving every religion was created by man and has nothing backing it.

From what I remember growing up in church, people under the age of accountability (referring to the 4 year old) which there is no exact age for, are protected. Also protected are people that have never heard the “true” word of god an Jesus(people that have never heard of Jesus, as vlad mentioned). Again, this is just what I remember from growing up Baptist in Chicago. Haven’t been to church in at least 15 years.

@@CantTellYou Sounds like someone who blindly follows religion and what has been promoted to you, while doing absolutely no research into the accuracy of what you believe. If you are proud to be ignorant and unwilling to question what you follow then you are determined to be ignorant. You cannot help someone who is dedicated to be ignorant. I feel sorry for you. You like fantasy as I do for films. You prefer to believe what is comfortable for you more than facts that you can find yourself with a little research.
@@femiosusa510 Days are names that we give to 24 hour periods but the night and day cycle are real, our whole lives revolve around it and the calendar was made because of it. If we didnt know this information we could not know when to plant and harvest, when to go hunt for food, the seasons, etc.
I understand Vlad's point of view and respect Neil's viewpoint. I relate to that. But there are a lot of things in everyone's lives where they had a feeling about something that was correct. But then they started trying to reason, collect evidence, and approach it like it was a trial. And they ended up making the wrong decision. And there are things that are outside that scope. Not everything in this world can be captured with conventional or even high-level human levels of understanding or knowledge.
@@AtomicMushroomz Exactly, what the above is explaining could be interpreted as "God of the Gaps". A simple way of stating that because it can't be explained, a God/deity must exist - which I don't buy. And, of course, that's my opinion. That's why I'm agnostic. I don't know whether or not a god exists, however I'm certainly open to the idea of it being proved one way or the next. But the absence of evidence or logic doesn't necessarily mean God exists, just that science hasn't evolved enough to accurately determine whether or not one does.
Yes, correct. Like the fact you can't yet understand that I am, in fact, God. The tools humans use to measure reality are simply not capable of measuring the plain of reality my godly powers are exerted on.
"Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble." --Joseph Campbell, "The Power of Myth"
Man I have to say also that brother Michael just shared the gospel so beautifully and with love that I KNOW he planted some seeds! Amen! HalleluYah! In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I pray that many repent and believe in Jesus Christ because of this seed planted by brother Michael. It just amazes me how the Father works! HalleluYah!
well if u are religious and ur book says "gayness is a abomination. u most likely wouldn't vote for gay ppl to have equal rights would u? even tho they humans too. when ur books says slavery is okay. do u just stop beliving that part cuz it hurts someone? so now ur bringing ur own judgement as man to evaluate what god said and choose what to do and what not to??

@@NYCDreams212 what legitimate evidence (not theory) is there to support macro evolution and are scientists still claiming that the universe exploded into existence by itself out of nothing? Just because you study the textbooks and repeat what other atheist scientists say it doesn’t make you more intelligent than someone that has faith in God lol. It actually takes a lot more faith to believe that the universe was not intelligently designed and that things like morality are subjective lol
Not believing in evolution tells you everything that you need to know about Michael’s level of intelligence (or lack of it). Science is fact-based buddy, hate to break it to ya. Religion is folklore, period.
If you look at the fact that people are more threatened by the mentioned of the name Jesus says alot. People have no issues with talking about all of the other "gods" but the moment Jesus comes up People flip out. That says something.
He literally said I'm not religious, but I'm a Christian (which is a religion) and he believes the entire Bible is true (the Bible is the holy book of the Christian religion).....how is he not religious????

@@FullyAutomaticAddict410 Condensed, why make a distinction between the force of creation and a Creator? Mathematicallly, it looks very semantic. Regardless, the specific tale in the OT is hardly more sensible than what we've been able to approach via epistemological evidence.
What Neil was talking about was religions… The answer is “your God”! That’s who God is to each individual person. Even atheist have a god they just don’t think about it that way. Could be money, woman, prestige, etc etc but it’s 100% your god
@@CantTellYou the fact that he created hell and the devil should tell u that he's a crazy narcissist cult leader. these blind followers will try an argue that this "all powerful and all knowing supreme creator of the universe didn't know that satan was gonna be bad" even if thats true that means just let him create hell and drag the ppl u "love" down there? this is like an abusive relationship wit how much manipulation is going on
Vlad and Micheal must be a lot closer than I thought for Vlad to be that comfortable taking the conversation to some of the places he did. Weird interview to have in this context all around. Im glad it did though because it was pretty interesting. Micheal looked good here. Very patient and gracious. Vlad is something else. Who wakes up in the morning and says Im going to challenge a Mafia capo on his religious beliefs today and film it to put on the internet for the world to see? 😆 I say that as an atheist/agnostic myself.
Michael looks like hes toleraring Vlad here. Mixhaels an intelligent guy and Vlad looks like hes trying to say "look at me, Im smart too". But he just comes across as the opposite, and annoying.
@williamshakespeare9815 I disagree. What you're describing is more the Neil interview. It's not that Micheal is coming off more intelligent, its that he's that he's coming off more mature. After surviving a lifestyle to get to where he's at now , I think he has well earned versatility and tolerance.
@CantTellYou Patient and gracious with Vlad. Micheal's point of view and hypocrisy is why I didn't agree or say that Micheal was intelligent. As I stated previously, this interview was in an odd context. A Hip Hop 'journalist' challenging a Mafia capo on his religious beliefs for a TH-cam channel.

I wouldn't try to convince someone to adopt a belief they don't connect with. But "Knowing" is experiential. If I asked "Hey Vlad prove your grandfather that was alive around 300bc ever really existed." He wouldn't have pictures, no written record and no physical "evidence" that his grandfather existed. He would simply say "Well how do you think I got here?" Or "I'm here aren't I." So that's all the evidence you need? For someone you've never seen or touched? YOU, just existing, gives you an assured belief that your grandfather existed and Lead to your creation...and you're right.
To God be the glory! Great job Michael Franzese. Keep walking in your faith. The word of God says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
This is where I jump off with Christianity and being born again and with the topic of forgiveness...It can't be that easy to do alot of undermining and horrible things throughout your existence and simply Ask for forgiveness later on in life, when time is winding down for you, and then, be forgiven....There should be a punishment, and that means myself included...I want the punishment for my bad actions, cuz I deserve it , and lessons are learned thru a rigorous punishment phase, and I don't think too many ppl can say what I just said....and that's FACTUAL 💯
there is no punishment nigga lmaoo. this is why jail exists. bc everyone knows that "gods gonna punish you" aint real. niggas invented him so ppl in society would be scared to do wrong
It's not complicated. If you're a bad person and ask for forgiveness just in case there really is a God that's not gonna work. You would have to be truly sorry and repent for everything bad you've done. A hail Mary right before you die isn't gonna work. If you're an evil person you're going to hell and if you're a good person you have a chance at heaven.
@jeffreyval9665 and what do the victims get for such horrible acts against them?? What?? I'm sorry?....Not good enough...the Old Testament was much closer to what I believe in....and that's FACTUAL 💯
This born again nonsense is comical to me , because to be truly born again is to go back inside your mother's womb and do a retry at life again, and we know that is impossible and being baptized by another imperfect human ( pastor or priest or whomever) doesn't make sense to me at all...So we're dealt the cards we're dealt and we either play those cards and go All in , or Fold....There is no start over....and that's FACTUAL 💯
@@Magnificent-qr4rn I guess it depends on the victims. Not all victims are good people. I'm not really into that born again Christian stuff either. Nobody's perfect and everyone is gonna do bad things in their lifetime but I don't think it's as complicated as people make it out to be. If you're a relatively good person you'll be fine and if you're just a bad person there isn't really any repenting and you're gonna go were you belong. Or and I hope this isn't the case once your dead that's it and there's nothing.
There is only one God that is supreme over all gods. 🙏🏾 Vlad is laughing and smugging at the existence of God and Jesus but please believe God will make Vlad pay for this and prove that he exists. God works in mysterious ways ✊🏾
That's right, he lets terrible things happen to children because if he used his almighty power to stop pain for young children then he would be raping us

* we DO have overwhelmingly strong evidence of evolution (for a start: the hundreds of scientific papers in the references section of "evolution" on Wikipedia)

He showed he was extremely sexist by thinking it’s okay for men to be promiscuous but not women.
He was not able to answer vlad about what parts of the Bible he values most.
He has no proof of any existence of a God and he disregards that there have been thousands of different gods throughout history.
For Franzese to say he is not religious while having bible scriptures tattooed on his arms is hilarious. Also he goes out of his way to promote his religion and his view of it.
He is definitely religious. He just does not like the idea of being perceived as fanatically about it.
A lot of the time it is the most uneducated and ignorant people who are the most religious and God fearing, along with former criminals or people who lacked stable parenting while growing up.

Franzese did a good job defending Christianity without being judgmental. The question I asked in 2010-2011 when I came to Christ was simple. Humans have a lot to say about this God question. But what does God have to say? When I sought the answer, I found Him.

I find that Religion is like wealth, it empowers you to become more of who you always were. That's why there are lots of religious, holier than thou assholes, but there's also many amazing people, like my grandma RIP, who are helping at the soup kitchen every week, constantly give to charity and live to help others
That’s a good way to look at it. At the end of the day it’s a justification for you how live (whether you’re a good person or an awful one) and it’s a cute idea to tell yourself or your kids when faced with the reality of mortality
religion is what keeps society from devolving into an animalistic jungle. if religion didnt exist, them homless niggas natural animal insticts would tell them to beat the shit out of your grandma (no disrespect, may she rest in peace) and everybody else and take all the food in that soup kitchen for themselves🤷♂🤷♂

Life is Subjective, your journey is YOUR JOURNEY. It’s not about forcing your views on others. It’s about doing what works best for you. If you’re a Christian be a Christian , if you’re atheist be an atheist. At the end of the day. You must believe in what resonates with you, as long as you’re growing, learning, and living in alignment with who you truly are. That’s all that matters.
What works for you might not work for others… and that’s ok
THANK YOU EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS COMMENT
That sounds good but the fact is that all religions contradict each other. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way, and those that reject Christ (everyone that isn’t a Christian) are going to hell. If I, as a Christian, genuinely believe this to be the case then I am supposed to “push” my religion on others because I don’t want them to go to hell.

I understand Vlad's point of view and respect Neil's viewpoint. I relate to that. But there are a lot of things in everyone's lives where they had a feeling about something that was correct.

Not everything in this world can be captured with conventional or even high-level human levels of understanding or knowledge.

@@AtomicMushroomz Exactly, what the above is explaining could be interpreted as "God of the Gaps". A simple way of stating that because it can't be explained, a God/deity must exist - which I don't buy. And, of course, that's my opinion. That's why I'm agnostic. I don't know whether or not a god exists, however I'm certainly open to the idea of it being proved one way or the next. But the absence of evidence or logic doesn't necessarily mean God exists, just that science hasn't evolved enough to accurately determine whether or not one does.
Well said
Yes, correct. Like the fact you can't yet understand that I am, in fact, God. The tools humans use to measure reality are simply not capable of measuring the plain of reality my godly powers are exerted on.

Ya get what I mean?
Vlad said he is a “desirable man”… He missed out the “to gold diggers” part
Truth, plus you can hear the lack of confidence in his voice
I love the way he said he is so attracted to Jesus and the life of Jesus. Rock on Mr. F.! God Bless you brother Michael
Good word from this brother, God bless him ✝️❤️💯
I don’t believe in god or religion but love how he answered his question.
Vlad missed the perfect opportunity in the end to ask where god comes from lmao
Indeed. Michael believes in the OT, but thinks our scientific approach makes no sense, lol.
If you're asking "Where does God come from" ?? You'll just end up in infinite regression. The Creator is Eternal
@@FullyAutomaticAddict410 Condensed, why make a distinction between the force of creation and a Creator? Mathematicallly, it looks very semantic. Regardless, the specific tale in the OT is hardly more sensible than what we've been able to approach via epistemological evidence.
@@FullyAutomaticAddict410 and how do you know the creator is eternal?
@@spuriusscapula4829 because whatever caused the universe to exist had to have always been in existence
I respect this man to the fullest!
What Neil was talking about was religions… The answer is “your God”! That’s who God is to each individual person. Even atheist have a god they just don’t think about it that way. Could be money, woman, prestige, etc etc but it’s 100% your god
Neil gets mythological mixed with historical real figures😂😂
Just had this same conversation yesterday with a friend and we pointed out the same holes with Christianity
@@CantTellYouright 😂😂😂 "do what i tell you or you go to hell" like wtf 😂😂😂
@@williamshakespeare9815 yeah ill send u to hell BUT I STILL LOVE U
@@CantTellYou the fact that he created hell and the devil should tell u that he's a crazy narcissist cult leader. these blind followers will try an argue that this "all powerful and all knowing supreme creator of the universe didn't know that satan was gonna be bad" even if thats true that means just let him create hell and drag the ppl u "love" down there? this is like an abusive relationship wit how much manipulation is going on
Vlad and Micheal must be a lot closer than I thought for Vlad to be that comfortable taking the conversation to some of the places he did.
Weird interview to have in this context all around. Im glad it did though because it was pretty interesting.
Micheal looked good here. Very patient and gracious. Vlad is something else.
Who wakes up in the morning and says Im going to challenge a Mafia capo on his religious beliefs today and film it to put on the internet for the world to see? 😆
I say that as an atheist/agnostic myself.
Michael looks like hes toleraring Vlad here. Mixhaels an intelligent guy and Vlad looks like hes trying to say "look at me, Im smart too". But he just comes across as the opposite, and annoying.
@williamshakespeare9815 I disagree. What you're describing is more the Neil interview. It's not that Micheal is coming off more intelligent, its that he's that he's coming off more mature. After surviving a lifestyle to get to where he's at now , I think he has well earned versatility and tolerance.
@CantTellYou Patient and gracious with Vlad. Micheal's point of view and hypocrisy is why I didn't agree or say that Micheal was intelligent.
As I stated previously, this interview was in an odd context. A Hip Hop 'journalist' challenging a Mafia capo on his religious beliefs for a TH-cam channel.
@@CantTellYou u sound hurt, come to Christ ❤
Amen to you Michael, God bless ♥️♥️
But it is very common for former criminals to present themselves as religious and reformed as a way to look like they are different from their past ways.
Religion is often used to control the masses into following specific guidelines written by man.
Evolution has proven evidence, while religion goes off blindly followed ancient scriptures that some people refuse to question the accuracy of it all.
I wouldn't try to convince someone to adopt a belief they don't connect with. But "Knowing" is experiential. If I asked "Hey Vlad prove your grandfather that was alive around 300bc ever really existed." He wouldn't have pictures, no written record and no physical "evidence" that his grandfather existed. He would simply say "Well how do you think I got here?" Or "I'm here aren't I." So that's all the evidence you need? For someone you've never seen or touched? YOU, just existing, gives you an assured belief that your grandfather existed and Lead to your creation...and you're right.
To God be the glory! Great job Michael Franzese. Keep walking in your faith. The word of God says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
This is where I jump off with Christianity and being born again and with the topic of forgiveness...It can't be that easy to do alot of undermining and horrible things throughout your existence and simply Ask for forgiveness later on in life, when time is winding down for you, and then, be forgiven....There should be a punishment, and that means myself included...I want the punishment for my bad actions, cuz I deserve it , and lessons are learned thru a rigorous punishment phase, and I don't think too many ppl can say what I just said....and that's FACTUAL 💯
there is no punishment nigga lmaoo. this is why jail exists. bc everyone knows that "gods gonna punish you" aint real. niggas invented him so ppl in society would be scared to do wrong
It's not complicated. If you're a bad person and ask for forgiveness just in case there really is a God that's not gonna work. You would have to be truly sorry and repent for everything bad you've done. A hail Mary right before you die isn't gonna work. If you're an evil person you're going to hell and if you're a good person you have a chance at heaven.
@jeffreyval9665 and what do the victims get for such horrible acts against them?? What?? I'm sorry?....Not good enough...the Old Testament was much closer to what I believe in....and that's FACTUAL 💯
This born again nonsense is comical to me , because to be truly born again is to go back inside your mother's womb and do a retry at life again, and we know that is impossible and being baptized by another imperfect human ( pastor or priest or whomever) doesn't make sense to me at all...So we're dealt the cards we're dealt and we either play those cards and go All in , or Fold....There is no start over....and that's FACTUAL 💯
@@Magnificent-qr4rn I guess it depends on the victims. Not all victims are good people. I'm not really into that born again Christian stuff either. Nobody's perfect and everyone is gonna do bad things in their lifetime but I don't think it's as complicated as people make it out to be. If you're a relatively good person you'll be fine and if you're just a bad person there isn't really any repenting and you're gonna go were you belong. Or and I hope this isn't the case once your dead that's it and there's nothing.
God bless this man.
There is only one God that is supreme over all gods. 🙏🏾 Vlad is laughing and smugging at the existence of God and Jesus but please believe God will make Vlad pay for this and prove that he exists. God works in mysterious ways ✊🏾
That's right, he lets terrible things happen to children because if he used his almighty power to stop pain for young children then he would be raping us
Yeah but the problem is, u have the same proof as the guys claiming Thor was their Lord & Savior 1000 years ago.... none
I learned there are 18000 gods. Good luck choosing the right one 😮
Hats off to Michael Franzese for tolerating these questions and tone ! Michael is an intelligent and thoughtful man.
Vlad sounding like a smart ass here
YES VLAD GOD IS REAL.
Well to him and millions of others think he's not. It's his opinion 🤷
Yeah, but...which god?
@Canucklehead There is only one, seek and you shall find
@@d1sk-cord531 Your opinion 🤷
@@commoncentz3148 Not really, millions of us are waiting on people like you to come home, again seek it and you shall receive
Vlad gonna bust hell wide open if he ain't careful
He's probably gonna bust his cheeks open too
Compelling and comprehensive 💯
When's the full interview dropping
Evolution is not a matter of belief, it's as established of a fact as the earth goes around the sun.
