@THE PEOPLE SING no they dont, thats a sweeping statement that you cant back up. Athiests arent 'devout' any more than not believing in smurfs would make a person devout!
@THE PEOPLE SING : remember that all generalizations are wrong. Atheists don't have a dogma to share, no spiritual leader that every atheist is supposed to follow without question. If you only met atheists who have a compulsive need to humiliate theists, you probably haven't met enough of them, or you're extremely unlucky.
@THE PEOPLE SING you sound bitter! I have no problem with you liking trees, maybe you met an odd atheist. No believing in a myth shouldnt mean you cant appreciate nature.
Thank you for all that you do, Seth. I've been a skeptic for my entire life and it wasn't until I encountered the online atheist community that I finally felt validated. *no slave here*
@THE PEOPLE SING I dont defend a label! forget the label. Its just a matter of believing in mythologies. It still sounds like you have met some odd people who didnt agree with you and may have insulted you. Sorry about that but not believing in a myth doesnt ake a person bad.
@THE PEOPLE SING "Atheism is NOT freedom. All this community does is attack, divide, and shame others who disagree with them. Simply live without defending a label.Then you'll be free." That's COUNTER-attack, you mendacious facetious scumbag. If YOUR KIND would leave us the fuck alone, there wouldn't be a problem, but you sit there and whine about being hit *back* first.
Why do you even needed validation? You were never contaminated or indoctrinated. Think of all those children around the world that are being abused, intellectually, morally, physically and emotionally. And sexually, but that is for other reasons, yet they cover those too, just to be on safe side. god really is great for allowing all of that to happen.
@@insanetester1015 Don't assume too much. I was raised in the Catholic Church. I took my religion so seriously that I read the bible at an early age. I could read about the life cycle of a butterfly and I could go outside and observe it for myself. I couldn't do that with the Bible and the absurdities only reinforced my position. The need for validation is because each and every believer of any and all religions saw me as being unreasonable which was quite the opposite. I was doubting myself for not drinking the kool-aid. It's nice to know that I'm not being delusional and there's a logical explanation for it. ✌
When I was a Pentecostal Christian, and I had a personal relationship with my lord and savior JC, I never felt sooooooo alone! I was a much younger man and had many conflicts in life. I always prayed long and hard for answers. None ever came, ever! It took years for me to realize all my problems and conflicts were being solved by my devotion to myself and my family and our hard work we spent together! There was never any supernatural intervention. I’m a very logical person and I am not gullible enough to think that god puts answers inside my head. If he is able to do what the Bible says he can then he can speak to me so my ears can hear it. I would spend days looking for signs as answers to my prayers. What a waste of time. Thank you Seth for all your good work. I have found far more answers regarding religion in 1 of your videos then I could have ever found waiting for god to help or asking my pastor. 👍🏻
'you can decide for yourself... But if you do you're going to hell for all eternity.' gotta love that forgiveness we need for having a mind of our own 😒
When you were describing how comfortable you are in your own skin and can face reality in a better way, it was like you were reading my mind. Not to mention the impact on my ability to make rational sense of the world with out the “Thought Police” telling me I was shit because I wasn’t able to follow in someone else’s footsteps, too stubborn, contrary and skeptical but I had no understanding of logical fallacies or critical thinking. I have these tools now and I use them. ✌️
Mr. Andrews, you are an inspiration to those of us who had to endure the same process as yourself. And speaking solely for myself, you, and a few others online, helped me find the wherewithal to break the religious chains which I had willingly worn for so long. THANK YOU for all you do!!

Uhm, what? Polytheists are not atheists they believe in lots of gods and how do you know that people invented them? The polytheistic god might be the real ones and were not created by anyone. Where is your proof? Do you know everything in the universe, David?
I loved my life in the Church when I was in it. The more I am out of it, the happier I find myself. I get to be myself - to live my life on my own terms. I WOULD NOT GO BACK.
“Ken Ham might as well be threatening to punch me in my aura!” Definitely stealing that to use on the next person who who says I am going to hell for being a nonbeliever.

Is he the guy who use to do the archeology show on Christian Radio stating man’s footprints have been found alongside of those of dinosaurs? While he was still in Australia?
My life is worth more because I know that it will end. It's like the philosophy of the beauty of flower watching parties in Japan - the flowers are there for a short time, so we need to enjoy the beauty while it lasts. Their beauty will not stay forever and it will never come back. Just like life.
No God would choose Ken Ham to debunk the "lies" of evolution. A God would get someone who can actually demonstrate that they know a damn thing about what evolution teaches so that they don't look like an obtuse fool everytime they open their mouth.
Even though I’m not an atheist I enjoy listening to Seth immensely, reminds me to live in the here and now. I also enjoy reading your your comments, this helps me to understand the world I live in even more, I celebrate the diversity of the human animal. When I say “the world” I literally mean the world, not my world. I’m 68, I came around to my way of thinking several years ago. I’d had several events that took place in my life to help sway me to my personal way of understanding, that’s “my” way of thinking, I don’t ascribe to other’s understanding. I believe each to their own, barring harm to others, and I’m most definitely not gonna tell you I’ll pray for you, Lol . I also believe the Bible has been changed, added to, taken from and translated so many times it bears no resemblance as to what the unknown authors intended. I don’t believe “God ordained” the writings or translations of it either. I admire all of you for standing up for your beliefs and speaking out. Edit: just thought I’d add… I don’t remember seeing anywhere in the Bible where it says, “thou shall not say shit”. As usual, I’ll be back.

@@sundiver137 It simply stems from a desire to feel special. I am finding the same with flat earthers currently. They want to feel special and enlightened.

Seth, when you cracked up laughing and had to leave the camera it had me laughing. Of course some of the stuff that you quote from these evangelicals is just insanely funny. Thank you for your continued presentations. My life has been way more purposeful since I left Christianity.
I hate to admit it, but I feel the exact opposite. I don't think there is anything after this, but that bothers me. I don't believe in God, or any god, but I don't know if there's no such thing as an afterlife, either. There's a good chance we humans are not the center of the universe, but as complex and versatile and multifaceted as we are, and this is all we get? I'm not so sure. This is a thought that tortures me night day. Seth says he fully accepts and is fine with this life being all there is, but I'm not. Granted, I've only recently confronted my non-faith, but this particular thought has been ever present in my mind for at least four or five years.
A broad view from outside: In Christianity, the action that damned Adam was sharing, and the action that saved his descendants was torture. And we are to think a being that sends us that message is a good and loving one.
Hahah "pod people". Love Seth Andrews. One of my favs. Hope I run into you somewhere, sometime. Would enjoy saying hi, maybe introducing my family and thanking you in person for what you do. Keep on rolling, my friend .
Thanks to you I'm out of the religious box. Can't believe more people realize the scam. Its sometimes lonely here but I couldn't and will not go back. Its too stupid.
Sweetheart, regardless where you are, or your beliefs, there will be periods of loneliness. In my periods of loneliness there’s no chatter, I gain more knowledge of who I am.
Very well stated, Seth. I was a believer for just over 25 years and I have never felt more alive and honest in my life than I do today. Life isn't on autopilot anymore, I have to actually think and consider my actions because this life is the only one I know I have, and it matters.
There was one of the comments that said "why is everything so difficult in the morning?" Well all I can say is for half of the population things aren't difficult but there are some things that are hard in the morning
Ken understands evolution, just like the "Nigerian Prince" people understand they aren't African royalty. He's a devious and intelligent con man who's found his meal ticket. Hanlon's shaving brush: _Don't assume incompetence when malice can explain it as well._
I love the theist "purposeless life" argument. They're so blissfully unaware of their own purpose. The theist's purpose is twofold: 1 die, and 2 kiss their sky daddy's feet forever. I like my purpose a whole lot better: live a good, useful life right here. Do good for other living things. It adds a lot of value to the only life we have.
In the late 90’s, Ken Ham was the key speaker at our church for some reason. My dad was the preacher so Ken Ham stayed at our house for the weekend. Very odd man.
Saving a couple quotes... "The universe doesn't give a shit whether or not I exist, and that's just fine." Surprisingly, not that hard of an idea to adopt. "It just means and what we do with and for each other becomes all the more critical."
I recently learned what "optimistic nihilism" is. The idea that this life is all you get so it's the most precious thing you have is one that I have come to live by. About happiness: I think atheism is just a better way to live because it prepares you better for reality.
We got a collection of Ham's 4 Answers books - used, of course. We weren't going to buy them new! They are hilarious! If you find them used, I recommend picking them up - you will laugh so hard!
Seth, you always have good integrity, as always. Good video. If Ken Ham is giving you credit. This is a good thing. He is like the Weird Al, for top music groups. As Ken is for the top Atheist or Skeptics leader in the moment. I guess the positive part of this whole thing is... if he’s quoting you. Therefore, You have made it big. So in a lotta of ways, you can call this, “Free Publicity” for you... that is a bonus.
What I don't understand about Christianity (or Islam, for that matter) is how total submission to another power and total self-abnegation is supposed to give my life meaning. It seems like denying the self is just the opposite of that self having meaning. Whenever I ask a Christian this, they usually appeal to "alignment," mystery or paradox, (which means they have no answer).
Pitching slavery as freedom. Pitching hate as love. Pitching evil as good. Pitching foolishness as wisdom. Those should be the mottos of the holy books of all the Abrahamic religions.
Seth, wow, your quick summary of Christianity was spot on and hilarious. ‘People of faith’ would be offended by it but it is exactly what they believe and the nonsense sounds just like nonsense when spoken aloud.
Not only is it a parking ticket given to our ancient ancestors, God did not teach those ancestors how to drive, but still gave them the car and the keys to it.
I think the Noah's Ark is very important educational museum. Namely, it will teach to the future generations *how badly religion can damage logical thinking and water down any achievement of science.* We should bring children there (and after that to a real museum with evolution exhibition) to demonstrate what an illogical waste of money religion can be. Ps. I'd love someone to bring to the museum posters about any know ancient religion that had a god spelling flood! Or maybe not, that sound too much like a religious tactics lol.
I think your voice alone could "deconvert" more people that that tremendous waste of money of the Ark thing. Now that I think of it... You are kind of like Saruman... The power of the voice! Though in this case in a good way...
I am also excited to see what God will accomplish in 2019. I wonder if it will be as underwhelming as what he achieved last year, or the year before or the year before that. I wonder what Ham thinks that God has actually accomplished in the last few thousand years - nothing springs to mind. For someone who was able to create the entire universe and everything in it within a week he certainly seems to have been slacking off a bit recently.
You had me chuckling right through. Ken Ham is an amazing creationist.. It seems he personally created dinosaurs so many years after they became extinct? I have just subscribed
Oh people will buy the book. I'm sure of it. My step dad's bookshelf is proof. There's all sorts of garbage in there: "Christian parenting" "Christian relationship advice" "Islam explained by a christian" "Comic Book Bible" Strangely enough the comic book bible was less graphic than the text version.
You're right no one who is an atheist or skeptic will convert through Ken Ham's nonsense. But maybe someone in Ham's audience will say, "who is this Seth Andrews character? Why does anyone care what he says?" And maybe they will come across this response or another video from Seth and the seeds of doubt will begin to germinate. I wonder if Ken considered the potential for a backfire when quoting Seth😂😂 Don't poke the bear.
"I would rather live a hard reality than a happy fantasy" - yes!! This is why I refuse to take meds. I want to be sure that I'm dealing with the real stuff instead of walking around intoxicated and oblivious to everything.
As an Australian, I wish to apologise for Ken Ham. You can keep him though, we don't want him back.
We got rid of his chief asswipe Snelling too.
I'm just glad you didn't dump him on Canada.
I'm not sure he would thrive here in Canada, Canadians are not as gullible as Americans when it comes to this religion BS.
You have no responsibility for the POS known as Ken Ham. Thank you but not necessary.

There was one of the comments that said "why is everything so difficult in the morning?" Well all I can say is for half of the population things aren't difficult but there are some things that are hard in the morning
haha. as Seth said "I would rather live a hard reality than a happy fantasy "
Thanks for giving hugo and Jake a shout out. I love them❤
You having to stop and laugh AT 8.41- made me also laugh so much - I love your work Seth.....
Ken understands evolution, just like the "Nigerian Prince" people understand they aren't African royalty. He's a devious and intelligent con man who's found his meal ticket.
Hanlon's shaving brush: _Don't assume incompetence when malice can explain it as well._
I love the theist "purposeless life" argument. They're so blissfully unaware of their own purpose. The theist's purpose is twofold: 1 die, and 2 kiss their sky daddy's feet forever.
I like my purpose a whole lot better: live a good, useful life right here. Do good for other living things. It adds a lot of value to the only life we have.
In the late 90’s, Ken Ham was the key speaker at our church for some reason. My dad was the preacher so Ken Ham stayed at our house for the weekend. Very odd man.
We have the same conversations with our fathers, Seth... in the same state.... lol LOVE YOU MAN!
Saving a couple quotes...
"The universe doesn't give a shit whether or not I exist, and that's just fine." Surprisingly, not that hard of an idea to adopt. "It just means and what we do with and for each other becomes all the more critical."
I recently learned what "optimistic nihilism" is. The idea that this life is all you get so it's the most precious thing you have is one that I have come to live by.
About happiness: I think atheism is just a better way to live because it prepares you better for reality.
We got a collection of Ham's 4 Answers books - used, of course. We weren't going to buy them new! They are hilarious! If you find them used, I recommend picking them up - you will laugh so hard!
Noah was the first person to catch 'em all. He used pokeball technology to fit them all in the ark. Best way to explain it.
Seth, you always have good integrity, as always. Good video. If Ken Ham is giving you credit. This is a good thing. He is like the Weird Al, for top music groups. As Ken is for the top Atheist or Skeptics leader in the moment. I guess the positive part of this whole thing is... if he’s quoting you. Therefore, You have made it big. So in a lotta of ways, you can call this, “Free Publicity” for you... that is a bonus.
What I don't understand about Christianity (or Islam, for that matter) is how total submission to another power and total self-abnegation is supposed to give my life meaning. It seems like denying the self is just the opposite of that self having meaning. Whenever I ask a Christian this, they usually appeal to "alignment," mystery or paradox, (which means they have no answer).
Pitching slavery as freedom. Pitching hate as love. Pitching evil as good. Pitching foolishness as wisdom. Those should be the mottos of the holy books of all the Abrahamic religions.
The things people like Ken Ham does is for the Christians not the atheist. It’s just to give them comfort and tell them “you know we are right”
Seth, wow, your quick summary of Christianity was spot on and hilarious. ‘People of faith’ would be offended by it but it is exactly what they believe and the nonsense sounds just like nonsense when spoken aloud.
Not only is it a parking ticket given to our ancient ancestors, God did not teach those ancestors how to drive, but still gave them the car and the keys to it.
I think the Noah's Ark is very important educational museum. Namely, it will teach to the future generations *how badly religion can damage logical thinking and water down any achievement of science.* We should bring children there (and after that to a real museum with evolution exhibition) to demonstrate what an illogical waste of money religion can be.
Ps. I'd love someone to bring to the museum posters about any know ancient religion that had a god spelling flood! Or maybe not, that sound too much like a religious tactics lol.
Seth, you got a little red in the face after your fit of laughter. Looked like fun!
I think your voice alone could "deconvert" more people that that tremendous waste of money of the Ark thing. Now that I think of it... You are kind of like Saruman... The power of the voice! Though in this case in a good way...
Might as well be threatening to "punch me in my aura". LOL well done, Seth. I'll be using that one.
Seth gave the best synopsis of the bible I have ever heard.
As a Kentuckian, I have to apologize for the Ark and the 'Museum' Sucks to be a scientist (geologist) in KY!
Seths voice should be the voice of God and I'd obviously not want to miss out on heaven
Dear Seth, great video. That Ham is a laugh. Have you tried coffee from Veracruz in Mexico? You should. Regards
Never felt happier and freer in my life!
Outstanding Seth!
I am also excited to see what God will accomplish in 2019. I wonder if it will be as underwhelming as what he achieved last year, or the year before or the year before that. I wonder what Ham thinks that God has actually accomplished in the last few thousand years - nothing springs to mind. For someone who was able to create the entire universe and everything in it within a week he certainly seems to have been slacking off a bit recently.
Seth: always entertaining and informative.
He doesn't need luck with his book. He knows exactly what sells with his intended audience.
You had me chuckling right through. Ken Ham is an amazing creationist.. It seems he personally created dinosaurs so many years after they became extinct? I have just subscribed
Oh people will buy the book. I'm sure of it. My step dad's bookshelf is proof. There's all sorts of garbage in there: "Christian parenting" "Christian relationship advice" "Islam explained by a christian" "Comic Book Bible" Strangely enough the comic book bible was less graphic than the text version.
A coffee mug that flips the bird every time you take a sip...brilliant!
You're right no one who is an atheist or skeptic will convert through Ken Ham's nonsense. But maybe someone in Ham's audience will say, "who is this Seth Andrews character? Why does anyone care what he says?" And maybe they will come across this response or another video from Seth and the seeds of doubt will begin to germinate. I wonder if Ken considered the potential for a backfire when quoting Seth😂😂 Don't poke the bear.
"I would rather live a hard reality than a happy fantasy" - yes!! This is why I refuse to take meds. I want to be sure that I'm dealing with the real stuff instead of walking around intoxicated and oblivious to everything.
As a Kentuckian I am embarrassed. We are not all idiots.
You are forgiven. I am not one to judge a community based on a very loud and very stupid minority
I mean. Look at my profile pic
love it!
Just saw that with you and Matt ❤😂🎉
Love this
