When Braxton says, "...these aren't meant to be gotcha questions." He's not being honest. Let's call it his ongoing practice of pious deception.
Few people have a “world view”. They either believe in a god or they don’t. They don’t HAVE TO explain anything, much less where the Universe came from or the original of life or why evil exists. BTW, apologists’ books are NOT scholarly. They are propaganda meant to keep the believers ignorant and happy.
In a literal sense I think a case can made that they weren't intended on being gotchas.
He seemed to be working on some mind worm uncertainties to try and inspire in atheists.
For example asking what percentage of certainty we have, requires examinations in whether and why we have what certainty we have.
The problem is that as far as I'm concerned, the bible is an incoherent mess, theologically, and factually. So I don't grant that his world view has any good supporting answers at all.
Obviously we should all have a level of uncertainty, in that we always have more to learn. That doesn't mean dropping what we have learned in favor of some superstitious BS.
The questions are not intended for him to learn anything, they are intended for him to attempt to teach.
If we want to be extra generous, he may be attempting something akin to Socratic questioning.
The pious deception part, I'm all on board with.
i took that as a red flag. The priest guy said the same thing and it went the same way
Pious deception, also known as "piety". Seriously pious deception is more or less equivalent to humid dampness.
Braxton, like almost every apologist, is a liar.
I may be a weirdo, but I am pretty certain I have never lost any sleep thinking about the origin of the universe.
I agree! This is simply a non issues for most people, and I think, a dishonest excuse by apologists. People worry about their daily lives, not the “meaning of the universe.” We leave that for poets & priests.
I'm pretty sure Braxton doesn't lose any sleep thinking about the origin of Vishnu or Shiva either.
@@Danny451 He’s an atheist concerning all other religions.
Yeah, I put this in the category of "I don't know" and that is just fine. Definitely not something I am losing sleep over either.
Why would anyone lose sleep on the topic? Finding the origin of the universe is basically the number one goal of the human species.
SPOILER ALERT!!!: It isn't god.
This guy isn't talking to atheists. He's preening in front of other theists.

What the fuck is a theist please explain
@@nathaniel6526
If you need to resort to inappropriate language because you cannot do better, explaining definitions would be pointless because they will be beyond your comprehension.
@@VaughanMcCue ok
I have a question for him. Is he aware of his overwhelming sense of smug certainty, or does he think he’s actually modest?
Christian "humility"
He is dishonest on purpose
@@Revanbzn Its a feature not a bug.
I was thinking he is so arrogant before I started reading the comments.
had a comment exchange with Braxton on one of his videos. This is a 100% anecdotal, but he most definitely came off as *EXTREMELY* smug and dishonest IMO.
Yes I am an atheist because I want to sin. The sins: Respecting the rights of LGBTQI+ people to express themselves, gender equality, believing slavery is always bad, believing marrying a 9year old is bad, among others
Such a sinner! But it takes one to know one. 😁
I wanna do the biggest sin ever!
Not believing in God.
Christians love to sin too but they can repent and forgive themselves on behalf of their god. Very convenient isn't it.
As for me, I love sinning and I proudly own it.
@@LadyDoomsinger in religious point of view it is indeed the worst sin - not believing, not being able to be controlled by a dogma
@@fredericamiaud2271 God is good and the devil is evil
"I cannot teach anyone anything I can only make them think."- SOCRATES
You can lead a Christian to facts but you can't make them think
@@undrwatropium3724 It's a cult, what do you expect? Cultists are never able to objectively look at their own beliefs logically.
"Be honest."
"Don't you feel disingenuous?"
"I want you to STRUGGLE to be as sincere with yourself as you can right now."
Yep.
Said an apologist who don't have a shred of sincerity nor honesty.
I love the "I don't want to be aggressive" and then attacks your position, and asks you to be honest. All of these questions are basically questions he has for a stawman atheist he made up in head so that he doesn't start questioning his own faith.
Mighty Don Quixote Apologist™️ tactics 101.
Step 1. Stuff your straw man.
Step 2. ❔❔❔
Step 3. Profit❕
The questions may apply for very very few atheists. Probably ones that are really on the fence. And who knows but maybe those are his target audience. Other than that the questions are easy to answer. Also the conclusion is wrong. Even if thise questions proved a god and they dont, its far from proving a personal god, let alone the specific Christian one.
@@AnnoyingNewsletters Could probably fill in the blanks for #2..... _Post your video_
Poisoning the well, really. Every well, forever. "I'm not asking gotcha questions" so that anyone who correctly points out they're trick questions will be dismissed by the gullible simps who worship at his altar. Make disingenuous concessions that his "questions" _might_ not apply to _all_ atheists so that when *_ALL_* atheists call him on his bullshit his idiot followers will rise up in his defense and dismiss them.
It's all tricks and lies. It's a show. He's following a time-tested cult script his audience knows how to respond to and participate in. Everything he says and does has an escape hatch built in so he can weasel out of it. I don't think it fools anyone, except perhaps the least sentient members of his cult who are so thoroughly inbred that someone's newborn child is also somehow their grandparent. It's just part of the show. The intellectual equivalent of _50 Shades of Grey._
@@AnnoyingNewsletters How is it a straw man?
I would rather have a question that can't be answered
Then an answer that can't be questioned and takes weekly meetings for reinforcement just to stay convinced
'Sex workers put on a pedestal like the military" HOLEE SHIT THERE'S A LOT TO UNPACK THERE
He's creepy af
There sure is... Let's see... subconsciously he probably has a pretty high opinion of sex workers, I mean they're awesome. It's only a matter of being honest with yourself... Clearly he isn't...also he obviously holds the military in a high regard, which is fine... It's whatever... So he's probably fishing for feedback on his highly unusual comparison.. Like, he heard someone say that once and it stuck with him, so now he tosses it out every chance he gets, hoping someone will say something that helps him decipher his own confused thoughts and feelings?
@@davidleedougherty6478 More like he wants his sex workers to dress in fatigues
Extremely "there's a lot to unpack here but let's just throw away the whole suitcase" moment
My main comparison for the military and sex workers, at least the _Stripperus Domesticus_ variety, has always been about how arbitrary the US is about, *_What is an adult?_*
One can join the military or legally take one's clothes off for strangers for money in public at 18 (or as low as 16 for the former with parental consent), but _god forbid_ one takes a sip of alcohol until they're 21. 🥃🍻
@@AnnoyingNewsletters Or smoke a little pot...
Also, I love that his first "point" is so far mentioning about fifteen different things at once, cause you know, rapid firing a million different topics in the hopes your opponent will neglect some of them, so you can use them not answering one or two as a reason to declare victory over them, while ignoring everything they actually did say, is totally not a dishonest thing to do.
They love the Gish Gallop.
Starting with a bad Gish Gallop is a good way to paint oneself as totally dishonest.
Even when I was thinking of going into a convent I always said I wouldn’t have an abortion but I still supported it for other people. And I always supported lgbtqia and everyone because I want my fellow humans to be able to live their best and happiness life. Then when I was in the convent I really studied the Bible and 20 years later here I am a non believer with the same views of wanting everyone to have dignity and a right over their own bodies
Good for you.
You're much better than I was when I was Christian. I was horrible.
Hearing some stories you might have needed the abortion if unlucky enough
Liberal and conservative are binary values.
Look up the word liberal in your Dictionary.
That's the best discripson of Christ I have ever found.
Conservatives are anti-liberal.
You do the math on that.
Simple binary choice for Christ sake.
Pun intended
They call me Lucifer for a good reason.
I didn't leave religion because of God.
I left religion because of Christians.
If Jesus were real he'd really be ashamed of his followers. Truly evil to wish harm on someone you don't even know. They're more concerned about what I'm doing than what's going on in their own churches
I like his projections about being de-converted or led away from religion.
I grew up irreligious, I guess I don't fit his world view.
Yes, a lot of these apologists assume that atheists are dissatisfied ex-Christians.
Same here. I suspect his disregard for us lifetime atheists isn't just motivated by some coping mechanism. I'm guessing he's convinced that most if not all of us don't care about religions anyway, and certainly won't be interested in his content.
Well, if that's the case he's wrong, twice. I really like mythology, and I like to hear kids' reasoning for holding to myths they'd rather be true, even kids so obviously stuck in adult bodies. 😅
If I were to point to an event that started my deconversion process, it would have to be that year in high school when my Christian friends got so mad at each other for their opposing theological beliefs that they ended their friendships.
So much for a unifying religion of peace and understanding. 🙄
I love that he likes to say "what were the last scholarly religous books your read" and kinda degrades people for not really caring enough to read them, when I guarentee he's never really read any real scholarly stuff on evolution.
All these Questions For Atheists videos contain wholly irrelevant questions that really have nothing to do with atheism. The only relevant question to ask an atheist is: "Why don't you believe in my god?"
My answer? I have not heard any convincing reasons to do so as of this date. Let the discussion begin.
There was also a smattering of "why don't people like the bigotry, my religion demands?".
As to your question, he could claim that that's why he made reference to the deep theological books. Rather passing the buck imho.
Maybe if we're generous, it seems he has enough self awareness, and humility to recognize that his arguments, on their own, are not very convincing.
Or it could just be that he's being doing this enough to see the failures.
@@stevewebber707 Or, you know, it's just a cheap trick to get more views than usual and boost his channel. None of what he said seemed geared toward anything more than usual TH-cam shenanigans. Your attention is all that matters to him. Hence why he doesn't bother looking for answers to his questions on TH-cam. A decision he will maintain unless he thinks he can squeeze some more views from making responses.
"I want to hear what the most sincere among you have to say"
how do you determine who is and isn't sincere when you don't know that person?
If he doesn’t like the answers, he deems the person asking “insincere”.
Takes one to know one.
"I want to hear", but I will not listen."Don't be disingenuous", while I l play stupid little word games. Explain, in excruciating detail, the origin and workings of the entire universe', while I assert "God did it!" and claim "Checkmate, I win!". Take my inquiries as serious even though they are mere male bovine excrement. The Brits have a marvelous word---"Bullocks!"
“It takes just as much/more faith to be an atheists” is the worst argument.
I think the banana one is worse, actually. But I wouldn't bet on even worse ones being out there. It's good ones that we fail to find.
It does take more faith to be an atheist.
@@rl7012 Provable not so...
@@ovdr42 So it takes no faith to believe that you share an ancestor with a potato? That it takes no faith to believe a fish can turn into a dinosaur and then into birds? No faith to believe that whales are just four legged cow type land animals who waddled back to the sea and turned into a whale? You think it takes no faith to believe that on prebiotic earth chemicals accidentally invented incredibly complex and highly engineered life?
@@rl7012 laughably not so
I really don't understand why the universe receding into the past for eternity, coming to exist uncaused, or something less clear than that should destabilize me.
It legitimately makes no sense to me.
What does destabilize me though is the idea of existing forever and ever and ever in heaven. It sounds like hell.
There was already a time when I didn't exist...the day before I was born, so the idea of eternity is so utterly nonsensical.
He's using the same condeceding tone as that priest when he asks what theistic apologetic books we've read. No matter how much he tries, he can't not be a patronising ass.
He speaks about facts and then doesn't present any, brilliant! 😂
Facts like near-death experiences, _things which absolutely aren't facts and the confusion of which gives a strong clue as to where exactly Timmy's problem is._
Hint: it's his head. It's rectally-located.
Yep, generally called Apologetics
Theist just DOESN'T know the REAL meaning, of the word 'FACT' !
They just BELIEVE that the bible is an FACT ! 🤣
I'd much rather say "i don't know" than just assert an unfounded explanation
I agree opposing christo-fascism is SUPER important - but by dashing these bad ideas to bits, we can help people escape that mental trap, or not fall into it in the first place
His questions are so loaded. He asks them in ways that would be so general that he doesnt have to even respond or even care what the answers are😅😅😅😅
7:10 "I didn't use those here because I didn't want to seem combative" he says... right after using them...
Braxton Hunter has to be one of the top 20 loudest white names. 😂
It's a bit weird, but then it's English, so what do you expect?
@@KaiHenningsen I don't understand your comment.
“Dead horse” debates.
#3 "sexual morality" = Hunter wants Christians to get the ability to legislate what consenting adults can and can't do behind closed doors, not from any demonstrable harmfulness, but because of the assertion their God just doesn't like it, so no one should be allowed to do it, ever.
Reminds me of the muslim Aron debated recently, who was very much in favour of punishing pre-marital sex, as if that in any way actually harms anyone.
What keeps Hunter up at night? The realization that somewhere, someone may be enjoying themselves.

When my DH had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest he had an out of body experience. Problem was the things he saw were wrong! He said I was in the room, when I was actually at the check in desk. It’s like OOBs are made up based on what you expect to be there. 🤔
Of course they're meant to be gotcha questions, which do absolutely nothing to promote mutual understanding, and mostly just serve to piss off your interlocutor.
Spot on mate. Your responses were almost verbatim mine. Especially the "if God were proven real, would you submit?" one. Oh hell no!
If their god is real so are a dozen other, much cooler gods.
@@pigpuke Dionysus made far more wine than Jesus for starters
Even if there "was" a creator in a sense, it would basically be alien scientists creating a terrarium out of Earth. The whole "mystical" power that "god" has would just be advanced science and technology. Even then, no such thing has been proven and even if it were true, I highly doubt that the aliens would have intended for humans to develop a religion that venerates them.

Are you a GOOD tick? Like, do you REALLY think about honest tickery, and have studied all the deep tick literatures and evidenciarynesses?
Oh wait that’s that other guy.
Despite Hunter's attempt to brush it away, statistical reliability is the ultimate measure of confidence. We have a mathematical framework already for this, the zero-knowledge proof. I can ask this being to perform tasks it claims it is capable of doing, and measure how often it is able to accomplish those tasks. I couldn't merely watch someone else do this test, as I couldn't be sure they weren't in cahoots. The fact that it only proves it to me and that it doesn't require a demonstration of HOW these tasks were accomplished are why it's called "zero knowledge."
Setting aside the ambiguity of what the hell "christianity is true" means given the extremely wide spectrum of christian beliefs, I am going to shut my damn mouth and toe the line against a temperamental being who's armed with eternal conscious torment. I'm not going to pretend I wouldn't cower under within milliseconds. I wouldn't care if he were christian, muslim, pastafarian, giraffe-ist, or father festivus.
I definitely changed toward being more progressive once I realized that there was no reason to believe any god actually exists. The ONLY reason to do any of this nonsense is because, well, that temperamental being is armed with an ECT gun pointed at my head, and HELL YES I negotiate with psychos and terrorists. Once you realize that there's no reason to assume this being exists, then what's a little buttsex between friends? It's none of my damn business. I've not partaken, but if I wanted to, I can, and to hell with anyone who says otherwise.
Yes 'christianity is true" is def the most used phrase that is completely unintelligible...a book cannot be true... actually the only things that can be true that I know of, are arrows(or other projectiles specifically intending to hit a target), and true/false statements...that's it
"what's a little buttsex between friends?"
there are only three reasons that same sex (especially male-male) was forbidden in the bible.
1) it feels really damn good
2) it was seen as diminishing the capacity to go forth and multiply
3) it is "unclean"
Now, number 2 doesn't make much sense because it is possible to do both buttsex and procreate. A man cannot be faithful to his wife in doing so, but the writers of The Bible weren't all that concerned if a man cheated on his wife, only if she cheated on him.
As for number 1, let's be honest, the writers of The Bible weren't interested in anyone doing anything that might bring them joy on this earth. Your only joy was supposed to be in serving the Lord. Amazing that anyone got on board, really.
So, that brings us to number 3. The act itself can lead to some unfortunate consequences. These days you do a little douche, no problem. Two thousand years ago, douche was probably not an option, so shit-dick would have been a real problem.
That whole rant full of good points, and guaranteed, my takeaway will be "...what's a little buttsex between friends?" Pure gold.
Yeap, Braxton doesn't care for your answers, coz no matter what they are he already considers them wrong. He just wants to tell you his answers. He never reviewed any answers since the video was posted and this is his most viewed video btw. Got 4-5 times more views than his other videos on average. Seems like not even his fellow christians care about what he has to say.
This video isn't targeting Atheists. It's there to make his followers nod along and feel self-righteous.
@@guuspot923exactly my thought... As are most of this kind of videos.
Every apologist ever: "I can't possibly be wrong, so you're the problem if you are not believing exactly what I believe, despite that I haven't defined or justified any of it.".
Caillou's parents did a horrible job raising him, I see.
My conversion to atheist started with feeling abandoned by god half soaked and nearly frozen homeless under a bridge. Then as I got older I began to realize that that the bible didn't really make sense when read front to back. Moral considerations were till a couple years ago a nonfactor. Up to that point the effect of my actions on others was far from my mind and I wasn't to concerned with what other people did if it didn't involve me. My morals or god's seeming lack of them played no part in the beginning of my atheism.
"Be honest" = "Be obedient".
Let me guess. These questions have nothing to do with Atheism.
Yup. They're all to do with preaching to Christians who might be wavering in their faith.
@@RichWoods23, Someone needs to remind these people that virtually ALL sins are forgivable...except doubt.
number 10: if the god of the bible was proven to be real, that's just another reason not to worship that villain. basically what nietzsche said, even though apologists like to quotemine that passage (and even add a fabrication at the end) to pretend he said something else entirely.
It often seems like apologists don't know how to deal with people that never believed in the first place.
Oh, about the whole "something from nothing" - I recently stumbled over a pretty good video that addresses what "nothing" can actually mean, bringing up nine levels of "nothingness". It could be pretty useful for any such discussion, and only in part because even without space and time, their gods would still be _something,_ not nothing - and that's just level 7 "nothing", two more to go 😜
(the video is "What is "Nothing"?" by Sabine Hossenfelder, a theoretical physicist and a pretty good science communicator by now 😊)
They conflate the colloquial use of nothing like there is nothing in my empty glass - with scientific use of nothing - that even empty space contains stuff on the quantum level. Current scientific consensus is that there is no actual nothing. And if something can't come from nothing, what did god come from? And what did he create the universe out of?
@@classicsciencefictionhorro1665 they always treat it as a state or a thing. If we say "nothing created the universe", we're not saying the big bang popped out of nothing. In this example, we're saying there was no thing before it; it was not preceded.
@@classicsciencefictionhorro1665 It's almost starting to feel like it's intentional for them to misunderstand scientific data through using the colloquial understanding of terms.
@@terrencelockett4072 Yep. It's understandable when someone who is just "starting out" and hasn't look at any responses to the usual arguments yet makes that mistake, but any actual apologist has _zero_ excuse for the false equivocations since at least every other response points out that mistake.
But I just take that as one more massive piece of evidence for them not actually addressing atheists with those videos, but rather intend them as a means to keep their flock from "falling away". "Here's some questions you might have heard, so before you start digging into _actual_ answers that'll make you question our religion/me, let me give you some easy answers." Dishonest as f*ck, just a means to keep their "source of income".
I got three questions that is real gotcha moments for all atheists:
What is your name?
What is your favourite colour?
What is the capital of Assyria?
Marcel, red and I don't kno-AHHH
9: I don’t need to study fashion or clothing design to know the emperor has no clothes
These questions have been answered, but ignoring the answer to those questions because they don't like the answer
I fear the inevitable conflict brewing between Pastafarians and the growing movement behind Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe. There may be ironic words and glib signs!
I will always be a disciple of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, parmesan be upon him 🙏
😂
The biggest problem with the argument from beauty is that it ignores all the non-beautiful and even downright disgusting things in the Universe which ironically, includes some acts described in the Bible, the so-called word of God, such as the entirety of Ezekiel 23.
If god created everything, he also created parasites and cancer.
Also I love it when these people bring up morality, not only because religious based morality can often be very, very deplorable, but because they would actively argue stonning someone for working on a sabbath is morally wrong, but keep going on about the unchanging objective morality of the being they will admit USED to demand one do so, and that it WAS moral in the past but isn't now, and it no longer expects you to do it, because somehow "fulfilling" a law = changing it and not altering a single jot = making every single line of the Mossaic laws not be valid anymore, except for those parts they randomly decided still apply, even though Jésus never mentions any such distinctions anywhere.
And of course while sidestepping the entire issue of how a being could be moral ordering people to commit acts they would now view as immoral, while also being 100 % constant and unchanging.
Every single Christian apologist does this because I think it is taught: 1: Seem interested in the conversation without appearing combative. 2: Before asking your profound "gotcha" questions, make sure to state that they aren't and you're just trying to start the conversation. 3: Preach until conversion.
Q Anon went from one post to millions of believers in like two years.
flat earth grew pretty fast before dying out again
To members in Congress and the Senate.
So my options are A universe which provably exists coming out of nothing, having always existed, or such, and an Unproven unevidenced deity having always existed, and came from nothing that then created the universe.
"Would you accept Jebus into your heart?" Uh, no. Been there, done that. I'm happy living my life as an atheist, tyvm.
Some of those questions are worth thinking about, most are not. For example, how unsettled am I that I don't believe a god created the universe? Not at all. Is there an argument that interests me as possibly pointing towards a God? Yes. But it's in Hinduism, not Christanity.
As for books, Rob Bell wrote a very good one "What is the Bible" and I keep C. S. Lewis's "Mere Christanity" on my bookshelf. I also loved Thomas Merton's autobiography "The Seven Story Mountain". I'd recommend all of those. I'm still an atheist. 🙂
SkepTick, don't be so sure about the nonexistence of fairies: the existence of Corgis PROVE fairies. It's why Corgis are so prone to mischief -- they LISTEN to fairies. That's why they have those big, bat-like ears.
Oh, and just for your information, fairies can't fly: that's why Corgis have ears that can move independently like chameleons' eyes. When fairies saddle up their Corgis, they magically endow the Corgis with the ability to flap their ears like a hummingbiyurd. With that capability, Corgis carrying fairies can go ANYWHERE. Fairies get a ride wherever they want to go and Corgis get to the REFRIGERATOR.
The moral of the story: if you've got Corgis, DON'T LET THEM LISTEN TO THE FAIRIES!
I like it when he says he has videos of atheists saying supposedly horrible things, but he doesn't want to show them so as not to be combative. But the only people who would be combative- assuming he wouldn't selectively edit them, fat chance- would be his fellow Christians who couldn't strawman their opponents.
I'm concerned about what Brazton is doing with hands. Looks very suspicious and sinful.
#8. My family originally left the church in protest over the child molestation scandal. If god couldn't stop that, he's no better than something nonexistent.
I love how he mentions abortion, prostitution, etc and then says he doesn't want to bring them up. Lovely Gaslighting !!
Believing TH-camrs isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. The best thing I love about people like him they're the ones that are making people stop believing nobody likes to be lied to.
"what's a way that your worldview better explains things than my Christianity?" well for starters, you can demonstrate my world view to be true. Don't know of anyone who's proven a god let a lone the Christian one
6:45 - Small, but vital addition: Make that _informed_ consent. Otherwise, you invite a whole lot of problems (miners... sorry, minors can give consent, but not informed consent since they don't (generally) understand the full implications and consequences)
Damn straight! Nicely corrected!
He's right about me at about 12 minutes. I was 13, got serious about Christianity for some reason, and was reading through Exodus and got to the hardening of 'Pharoah's' heart, and the killing of the firstborn. And I noped right out of that crap.
My worldview explains why there’s no creator with perfect judgement who intentionally brought about an unnecessary world where he knew that condemnable imperfections happen every fucking day.
Well-crafted and accurate mockery- thank you. Many poor arguments don't get better. But these numpties won't listen to the answers.
I responded to this guy's video to every question in detail. Not he nor any of his followers had the courage to respond. They don't want answers to their questions...they just want the delusion that we can't answer them.
I want to know more about Lisa and Her deeds!
It probably involves watching male giraffes fighting and screwing.
Love your videos! Please keep up the great work!
About point 9:
Why do *I* have to read scientific books on Apologetics? I am not an Apologist, he is. It is *his* job to read those books, understand them and then present them in a convincing manner.
And if those books are any good, then the apologists should easily be able to convince us with the best parts of them.
Weird that those apologists then always only have terrible arguments. So either *they* haven't read the books themselves, or the books are as garbage as their arguments.
Where’s my piña colada? Am I not believing hard enough to turn my tap water into one?
Just came across your channel, this is hella entertaining
7:04 "I didn't use those here because I didn't want to seem combative." But he _did_ use those here. Listing them off is using them.
Even when I was Christian, I was pro-choice, embraced my LGBT+ friends (though I was in denial about my own bisexuality), and didn’t believe in Hell.
This guy seems to think his version of Christianity is the “right” version and that no other version exists.
He’s completely ignoring the _thousands_ of denominations and the countless more personal convictions and beliefs.
There are over 4,000 religions practiced in the world _today_ and over 45,000 *denominations of Christianity* alone, but kudos to Hunter for thoroughly researching all of them and deciding on the _correct_ one.
Jesus: "take and eat. This is my body."

"Very well," the Lord said. "I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement." -Ezekiel 4:15.
Talk about really weird beliefs ....ritualistic consumption of another.....cannibalism must be part of theism, therefore true.
Now I understand.
I called my self agnostic till 1987 when I read the bible. Then I declared myself an atheist.
I just found your channel and after only 2 minutes I subscribed

@@Dock284 Sorry about that. Totally misread that as "unsubscribe" for some reason, and ended up acting like a dick.
@@denverarnold6210 lol it's alright it happens to everyone sometimes
Before I watch this I'm going to do a bit of prophecy. I foresee that all 10 of these questions have been asked and answered time and time again throughout the years. A big thanks to Lisa the 🌈 🦒 (leaf be upon her) for this magical gift of prophetic sight.
the way his arms are positioned and the impression that he just like to hear himself. i think he was playing with himself at 10:01 he took a break
My de-conversion did start with the anti-feminist stand of the Catholic Church. He’s got me good on number 8. I was only nine, but it seemed obvious that strident gender roles were bs. He says this as a gotcha though, as if something being immoral about a belief system is not a completely valid reason to question those beliefs.
But the idea that people leave religion only to sin is silly…in christianity you can sin all you want, & know you will be forgiven! While people who de-convert face the threat of hell, which can take a lot of courage.
He admits christianity is a cult by saying "De Convesion".
I've had one interaction with Braxton and as soon as he saw that I had facts on my side and that I knew what the Bible said he dropped out of the conversation with one of those "I'm right and will pray for you" rage quit phrases.
As to what would be convincing, us finding tangible evidence of physical laws being openly violated, in a clear and unambiguous way, would be a good starting point.
Witnessing a miracle of any kind would certainly help!
Hello, this was a good video as usual, Mr. Tick! I am jealous that you were never a theist, but I know that you must have had many struggles and childhood issues regardless (I am not trying to discredit your experiences or difficulties). I just feel like my life would be better if I had not grown up in a Christian family, and especially a Christian father. It has given me a lot of good perspective, but I hate those little thoughts that pop into my head, or the guilt, or the irrational self-regulating and punishing. ❤
Why does a worldview need to "account" for anything? That's kind of weird. Is my worldview supposed to explain how the universe started?
Not only how the universe started, but the precise location and velocity of every particle in it at every moment. It also must account for magnetic monopoles and white holes. Historically, it needs to answer the question if Caesar actually crossed the Rubicon, where Shakespeare shat himself, and an alternate conclusion for Lost that is satisfying. And a definition of satisfying that never changes no matter where and when you are in the universe. And it must be easily summarized in the comment section or you are just LYING.
Great vid! Loved it. 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that!
@@TheSkepTick I love you
Did this guy just say that respecting other people's choices about what they want to do with their bodies' is a sin? Damn, didn't realize human rights were sinful, lol
Arguing against presuppositionalists is pointless.
Arguing against anyone with an irrational belief which can't be falsified is pointless.
@@cliveadams7629 Truth
As an Antitheist, I no longer bother with the super embarrassing kindergarten nonsense of this zombie religion or any other. It is pointless to discuss whether the earth is flat or not. A waste of time. I prefer to focus on opposing the part of christianity that really exists, and what this cult is all about, which of course means opposing fascism.
1:38 Just started and already dishonest "I want to hear your answers". OK, I admit, maybe he wants to hear them, but he won't listen to them.
Two questions for theists:
1) can you demonstrate your deity?
2) if you can't even demonstrate your god then why should anyone believe in it?
Am I the only one reading "pretentious judgmental ass" speaking in a soft voice to make it seem less so? And he admitted he has heard the answers...so he clearly is not even wanting us to listen to our answers.
02:20 Braxton's _I can't think of any_ would make a good sample for future videos 😅
I am still trying to figure out my worldview. I will probably be doing that for the rest of my life, whether I remain atheist or not.
That's exactly the point Mr theist guy what is true is what's important not what you have faith in being true
I never stopped believing because I never did believe to start with. His questions do make him look like a bit of a plonker though.
Hunter thinks a magic man existing for infinity is somehow more likely than just matter getting to always exist. Because unliving matter, unpossible, a conscious intelligent being that can think galaxies into being, totally plausible.
Last question was about excepting Christianity as real. Yes. Absolutely. I Exept that is real. Real and very profitable business.
It`s always "sign the contract without reading the small writing", then you will understand. And if you start to believe, you will believe. Sounds like something is a little bit off, right?
12:40 😂 Academic
4:26 ........ *Wait ....... WHAT ? ..... Where I live, we had 6 churches, in the 80's , and now there is just 1 left !* And even that one get less than 50 "theist" every Sunday morning ! 😂
What a JOKE !!!
