I'll be honest, I'm struggling to determine if I actually believe in religion, and criticize my own daily. But praying has been my no. 1 coping mechanism and the only reason im not dead yet. The thought that there's someone who listens and understands is a good enough vent for me without involving others. And it just became a habit. There's a comfort and reassurance and trying to eb a good person is a bonus too
@@ggundercover3681 Hey man, you don't have to believe in "religon"; you just have to believe in JESUS and invite him into your life and pursue a relationship with him. He will work wonders. Trust Bro. Praying comforting you is proof that the holy spirit is in work. In Mathew 21:21 Jesus says that if one has faith as small as a mustard seed they can move mountains. Just have faith in Jesus and invite him into your life. Wonders will happen.
Big shoutout to Ryan for publicly being open on His faith, but also big thanks Anthony for putting that on the internet, awesome stuff to see creators like you not being afraid to show christians on your channel
This dude is amazing he’s got to be one of my favorite TH-camrs if not my fav bc he knows how to keep his videos funny while remaining family channel love it
He called himself a cynical atheist but I think cynical and skeptical gets confused. He likely never asked himself “how do I know what I know? What would be good proof?” And that’s okay! If he’s happy then I’m happy for him. I’m just saying that by definition, if realizing unresolved emotion about your grandma brings you back to Christianity then that wasn’t skepticism.
Me too. I am a born again and had complete and full deliverance. I had an eating disorder, anxiety, post traumatic stress etc. it all went away when I found Jesus Christ FULLY and have been trying to become perfect for Him. Everyday is a blessing. Life changed forever.
@@heidikay Hey, awesome testimony. Just wanted to say that Jesus made you perfect already. Hebrews 10:14 "For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." Perfected is past tense, meaning that you are already perfect. And this is FOR EVER! Know that the earth isn't forever. But heaven is. So you're perfect even to heaven. And where do perfect people go? To heaven! Remember that this is through Jesus Christ alone.
@@Aaron-wr6zoyou have no idea how much your comment means to me. I come from a family of Freemasons, the first in my family to be born again. It has been absolutely profound and life-changing.

Hm, and when he eventually loses his good temperament for 1 seconds? We're not good people, inherently, fundamentally, were inclined to do evil, Yet we have the free will, will power to do good given to us by God, so we must choose good all time. God bless amen
Definitely. As an atheist, I'm glad he found something that helps him. I think there are harmful things about Christian culture, but there are also harmful things about atheist culture.
As an agonistic atheist we should respect this guy. People change and are allowed to change their religious beliefs. We should respect their religious right, if he’s not harming anyone why are we clowning on him? It makes no sense. FOR MY SANITY PLEASE READ THE FUCKING EDIT. "can you explain to me how??" ITS IN THE EDIT. CAN YALL NOT READ Or SUM?! Edit: okay I’m sick and tired and genuinely annoyed of people telling me I can’t be both so let me explain how you can so I don’t have to repeat myself a million times to people who just don’t get it. while an agnostic is someone who doesn't believe it's possible to know for sure that a god exists. It's possible to be both an agnostic atheist doesn't believe but also doesn't think we can ever know whether a god exists. There. Please stop asking/telling me I can’t be both. Good lord.
@@nyssa_22 We shouldn't clown on one person alone though or anyone for that matter if they're not hurting anyone, the higher ups making said harmful decisions in Christianity isn't this guys fault. I dislike Christians just as much as the next guy due to my own trauma surrounding Christianity, but harassment on ONE person who changed their religion literally does nothing but make atheist's look like snobs. It gives you zero right to treat him (or other atheist's who've converted to Christianity) like shit because people before them made harmful decisions.
Agreed. As long as they aren’t using religion as an excuse to be terrible to some people, I don’t mind someone having beliefs. I don’t believe, but they have the right to.
@@CthulhuCrisis 100% agreed. Literally the guy only changed his religious belief. and people are mad for no reason. unless he's harming people himself I see zero point in wasting time and energy on this guy. to other potential atheist's reading this don't waste your energy on a harmless guy following a faith. Focus time and energy on people who are ACTUALLY causing harm like the racists and bigots in the faith.
just a reminder for a few people alot of atheist aren't bad people, they simply just don't believe there is a god. but yes I've seen atheists drag down religious people, but I've also seen religious people drag down atheist or people of other religions. we should all just respect each other's beliefs
I have too much respect for Christians as people to respect the things they believe. I was a Pentecostal (a cultish sect of North American Christian) for nearly 20 years.
I’m a Christian, but I feel like whenever I say that, a lot of people assume I’m gonna try to force my religion onto them, so I usually just say “oh yeah I do believe there’s something out there.” And move on with my day.
To be honest, that really sucks that they judge you like that. I'm sorry that you feel like you can't open up and be yourself around people. People are so judgemental and shitty.
I'm also Christian, and I just choose to not comment on my religion a lot of the time. It's sad that so many people have to be scared of mentioning their religion for fear of being beaten down over it. I wish you the best!
I know exactly how you feel bro. But Jesus said who denies me before man, I will deny before my father. So even though we fear the judgement of others we should do our best to stand for Jesus. Thats the least we can do for him, considering what he did for us.
@@finnleyhart4405 people like justin bieber claim to be Christian but seem to be doing more worldly things than what followers of Jesus should do. people use the “title” Christian very lightly but who am I to judge him. It’s just what I see and I don’t personally know him!!
But if someone says they’re Christian and they live up to it, you WILL know. Chandler Hallow and his Wife both became Christian recently, and Chandler makes it a point to pray for his fans. He wears his faith on his sleeve. He even wore a Love God Publicly shirt in one of MrBeast’s videos.
Yes churches are broken, the people in my belief are broken (im broken) but don’t let that factor if you become Christian or not. Only focus on the love of Christ 🖤🖤🖤 Jesus is perfect and can save. I've seen how the church can hurt people, how we are pushing people away. but Jesus can save and he has saved many -me
God please forgive everyone and bless everyone amen. I hope everyone gets to heaven amen. God bless you, reading this and everyone. If you want me to pray for you, just reply to this comment and I will, but dont forget, I will still pray for you even if you dont reply, dont want to or you cant. May God bless everyone and you and I will pray for everyone and you if you have a bad situation, struggling relationship with Jesus or struggling with sin I will pray for you. Dont remember me and always me that I prayed for you, just think about God and ask him for help and he will help you. I also bet you are an awesome person and deserving of love and grace. Again I say it, I hope God protects you and may peace be upon your heart. I love you Jesus amen. God bless this channel because it is awesome amen.
Yeah, people can believe what they want, as long as it doesn't affect others via stuff like the law or is forced onto children. Unfortunately a lot of people who believe in a god are not as chill as this guy.
i don't think you should force yourself to believe anything or ignore questioning your beliefs, take that questioning of faith and see where it takes you. if it takes you back to jesus, good for you, and if it takes you elsewhere, good for you.
I’m glad Anthony finally spoke to someone who has had positive experiences with religion. Seems like most people he interviews that talk about religion talk about how much they didn’t like it. Anthony does a great job giving voices to groups that most people don’t know about or are commonly misunderstood, and I think it would be cool for him to do the same for religions.
@@linkbell3515 you're definitely right about religious trauma, but I'm not even specifically talking about christianity. For example there's a lot of bad stigma around Muslims in the US, but I've only had good personal experiences with meeting them. There are also religions most people aren't aware of. I think it'd be cool to shed light on people like that.
@@alfredsupersauce i agree. If you research Muslim culture it has so many similarities to fundamental Christianity (almost like they’re both abrahamic religions) so I honestly don’t get why Christian’s especially will hate on Muslims (not that Christian’s regularly do this but 9/11 made some evangelicals go crazy)
@@linkbell3515 I wouldn't say "hate" on muslims, but there're things that the islamic religion has twisted from the Bible, and a lot of them believe that we have the same God, but that's not possible when they don't even believe that Jesus is God too. There are just many things that we disagree on.
@@tirotasticmost Americans hated Muslims right after 9/11, not just Christians, and even to this day many still do. It’s easy to think some radicals represent the whole population. We do it over here with politics and such
So weird how I have the exact opposite story. And now it is my absolute source of joy! We all find our stories in unique ways. We don’t have to fight babes! ✌🏼💕
John 3:16- “For God so loves the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 14:6- “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and if the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
I think religion can be great for many things even though I am an atheist. I think the atheist community should try to be less cynical as well even is that means not being in it anymore, for their mental health and for everyone else’s as well.
@@marcomoreno6748 no but religion isn’t just about beliefs, it’s about ideals and community. I think that many atheists hold similar values and ideals to Christians and if they are unhappy joining the religion can be a good thing for them. I am an atheist because I while my parents are religious they didn’t have me go to church and warship god, I also wouldn’t fit in church, I am skeptical of religion and take thing very literally and because of that I would not fit in as well. I have problems that wouldn’t be helped by being religious but being overly cynical can be helped by having a religious figure tell you everything is going to be alright and because of that I think SOME atheists could benefit from joining a religion.
I am the same and when I started going to church of my own accord when I was 13 my brother told me I was joining a hateful cult... It wasn't, he had just had bad experiences with the loud bad ones. I'm not homophobic or transphobic but since I started going to church my brother thought I was going to be and he freaked out, I realize that now but I remember being absolutely devastated that he thought that of me and I cried for hours. I think where the hate comes from in the Christian community isn't people who are Christian because they love Jesus, I think they just wanted an excuse to hate and be mean to people which is the exact opposite of what we are about.
The hateful or otherwise "bad" Christian people and groups can and do come from a lot of different places. Your example is definitely one of them, but it is far from the only one. It makes me sad, honestly, how far it's spread. I could give you a whole speech about the subject, but I'll respect your time and leave it at that. God be with you, white rose blossom.
@@trikegang6671 God says the punishment for committing any sin is death, not because He punishes you for sinning but because the act of sinning cuts you off from Him (the source of life). The premise of Christianity is accepting that you are inherently sinful and that Jesus paid the price for your sin. No Christian is any less of a sinner than any other person, we’re all equally dead because of our sins regardless of the moral severity that humans attach to each one. Christians are the people that acknowledge this and then choose to turn towards Jesus in their struggle.
@@kaedenmurphy9937 which is complete lunacy. You are born evil, you will therefore suffer a lot, and the only way to not suffer is to become a mindless slave to the creator of the place where "evil" people are put. If I put Stalin in place of God and gulags in place of hell and say that that is a good thing, you would call me a communist
Christian here :D. I'm not here to tell you to become a Christian because that ain't poggers. But not just Christians but even if you're not apart of that religion there's still so much that you can take from it. I.e. the parables Jesus's says.
I want to be just like Ryan. I'm I am a Christian and a youtuber and sharing your joy with people is a great way to put it! Not being judgemental or condescending but just being joyful in my videos. Great advice and awesome story I'll have to check the whole video.
As someone who grew up in a religious home/ community, (I'm not Christian anymore) I'm so happy that Anthony is so respectful of his viewers and his guests that he knows the little things. For example, most people wouldn't think to capitalize the H in him when referring to God. I love the respect he gives people, a lot of youtubers aren't like that.😊
The amount of evidence behind the Bible and the power of the context is why I believe it is the truth. If anyone here hasn't looked into Christianity, and I mean REALLY looked into it, I believe they should before they die, which may be any of these days but hopefully not.
What does that even mean? Are you threatening us? We have not found any evidence supporting the claims of the bible, specifically, the supernatural ones.
@@noahblanco6105 This is you forcing what you believe on others, if you truly believed in the Bible then you wouldn't even think to do this. At least respect and acknowledge what other people might think and don't insult beliefs or intelligence.
I super happy he decided to bring joy on jesus! I don't remember ANY moment of my life and there was none besides when i was first born because the first words my mom said to me was Jesus will bless you and it happened!
I see comments of ppl not knowing what religious they wanna be but truly I know I am just a stranger on the internet but God is good and is the only true thing he died so we would have life so just think how did u get life God is the ONLY accurate source to this world and happiness 🤙🥰💜💜 love yourself love GOD
Can’t stand how condescending Christians are in this comment section. “God saves everyone”. Yeah, except for the billions of people who don’t believe in him. If you send people to eternal torture simply because they don’t believe in you, due to you being just another invisible god that people wrote about long ago, then your love is not unconditional, and you are a psychopath. “Jesus saves!!!” How? Nonbelievers before him didn’t go to hell. The only difference he made, according to Christianity, is that the Holy Spirit came into the hearts of believers. Cool, how does that save anyone if you have to be saved in the first place to experience the Holy Spirit? Also, the holy spirit is simply just the feeling you get when you believe that all is going to be ok because you believe you’re loved and taken care of by a god you can’t see, or it’s just your own discernment, depending on the context. I don’t go out picking fights with Christians, I don’t advocate to imprison them, I respect the right to believe, but I do not respect their beliefs themselves, because they are downright delusional and hateful.
@@lizzynoelle1959 I grew up Christian. Went to Church. Went to Christian school. Yes, I read the Bible. I had to memorize verses for classes at school and church. I know good and well about Christianity and how the whole “grace and love” shit is a cop-out for the looming threat of eternal doom for those who don’t believe. Rereading the same bullshit verses about how “God loves u (unless u don’t believe)” isn’t going to change my mind in the slightest.
@@kcaustin904 well it doesn’t seem like you paid attention well, or you were taught wrong. God doesn’t send people to hell, but He is perfect and therefore will not ever be in the presence of sin by definition. The only way we can be justified is through His Som, who He sacrificed for us
@@AJAM23 “God doesn’t send people to hell”. Right. He just *allows* them to burn for eternity for the horrible crime of… not believing in the invisible god. They aren’t punished for their sins. Christians have sinned countless times. Everyone makes mistakes. Nonbelievers are punished for not believing in him. Point blank. What separates the validity of Christianity from Islam? Or Hinduism? or Judaism? All of these religions have their own unique ideas of what life is like after death. Problem is, they were all written by ancient humans who had not a damn clue what death was like. Assuming the god of Christianity was real, how come staying hidden is a bigger priority to him than saving billions of souls? He could reveal himself in all his glory, state which religion is correct, and almost everyone would believe in him. Instead, he expects everyone to decipher which ancient religion is the right one. The concept of that sounds fucked up to any normal person, but if you believe that your god is infallible not because he chooses to be good, but because *everything he does is inherently good*, then you are a fucking sheep. Believe me, I paid attention for many years. I believed it for a while. I eventually reached an age where I saw that it was total bullshit. You’re not going to convince me that worshipping a god nobody can see who’s allegedly responsible for torturing a majority people that ever existed is a good thing because he also sent his son to get tortured for us so that we could continue to get tortured if we don’t believe but at least we have a less shitty role model to worship. Keep your roleplaying to yourself please.
I would like to state that God doesn’t send people to hell and hell was not made for us however if you chose to hate and ignore God on earth why would you spend an eternity with him in heaven
@@marcomoreno6748 The universe is sure based off of science but there is certainly an engineer that made all of these to happen. It doesn't have to be the christian God but we know that there is a god since everything is engineered quite well, like how the planets could orbit around a sun or how a seed can turn into a plant and not any other plant, How America has 4 seasons and how our bodies operate are because of a great engineer or a higher being ✨God✨
@@agentalpha7061 How does anything you said point to a god? You’re trying to make the watchmaker argument, but that argument has been easily debunked hundreds of times in hundreds of different ways.
@@agentalpha7061 Having beliefs that don't correspond with reality, just because they "feel good" is not going to help you know what you should keep living for, and it's also harmful. If someone believes they've won the lottery, (even though they haven't), and spends their money as if they have won the lottery, they are going to cause tons of harm to themselves long term, even though their delusional belief that they won the lottery feels good to them. Btw, atheists / secularists are not devoid of having something to keep living for. I just think you should be a little bit more skeptical rather than trying to confirmation bias your way into further believing in something.
Everyone in the comment section is really forgetting that people can have different religious beliefs and coexist- religion is a philosophy, there’s no right answer that we know of yet so please be respectful and stop trying to convert people who haven’t asked for your opinion.
I don’t care what religion you are or aren’t. Just be nice and I’ll be nice to you, though I usually try to be nice first. I’ve offered to buy people food when it meant I wouldn’t eat. I remember this one time that I was buying a ramen pack. This dude came up to me and payed for everything in my cart. It was like four cans of soup and like a 10 pack of ramen. I freaking cried man.
i love ryan and haley so much. they are the sweetest people and seeing how great their relationship is and how their faith continues to grow has been so beautiful to watch.
Don’t listen to the people shutting you down for being Christian, you made your decision and we all support you Ryan! I hope you and your family will all find joy and grace in Christ!
As an introvert chirstian I never liked forcing others to my beliefs I just like keeping things to myself which had made me outcast from some cell group before because I like to be alone 😢
I some what agree with this in the sense that I dont like to put my beliefs on others but I will state them and give people the option to follow christ or not
I wonder if your concept of 'forcing' just means sharing your faith. Keeping the means of salvation to yourself as well... what would Christ say. A seed of faith grew in you, but bore no fruit.
Please stop. We know what God did, which is why we follow the religion. If you're an Athiest, I recommend looking at the Bible, Psalms, or other things so you can learn, and not just say :) I'm not forcing religion, but please stop essentially 'hating'(im not sure which word to use, as it's not necessarily hating, more like pushing people to turn away from God) thank you! ☺️
I'm Atheist but I understand that god and Jesus are supposed to be loving, but it's the actual people that practice that religion is what turns me away. The beliefs that a lot of Christians have disgusts me and it's not the way that Jesus/god would want to be like
I went in reverse. 3 years ago, I was a Christian, but now, I’m an atheist. However, I don’t have a problem with religious people as long as they don’t hurt anyone.
I hate that, as thiests, we have to clarify that last part. There are too many spiteful athiests, many of whom I dont blame (their experiences with religion fuel their spite for it)
@@colmlooney5843 I had negative experiences with religion too (I was indoctrinated by an emotionally-abusive, homophobic, antisemitic teacher), but I know plenty of religious people who aren’t like her, such as my grandma, who’s the stereotypical sweet old lady but Latina, and majority of my friends and their families (2 Catholic, 1 Jewish).
As a Catholic i find this very amazing, i feel like I haven't met another Catholic in a long time (other than friends and family who go to church with me:0)
Well, they're opposite things, so of course they'd have opposite reactions in some communities, but most of the time it's the other way around in this situation, and although I don't quite know what the metrics are here, there's a lot of people on both sides who are supportive
I had the opposite experience from him. Grew up Catholic and as soon as I got to highschool I realized how non-Christian most Christians act. It’s supposed to be a religion about love and acceptance but from my experience it’s anything but that. I also was incredibly lazy and had a huge problem with procrastination. My excuse? I’ll get to do everything in Heaven. It made everything far easier to believe that there was always someone there for me, but eventually I started thinking “what if there is no God and I won’t be able to accomplish everything I want to in Heaven?” That thought becoming more and more prevalent in my mind as well as a variety of other factors I will not discuss caused me to agnostic/atheist. For clarification (because people always tell me I use those definitions wrong), I really don’t care if there is or isn’t a God. I don’t think there is, because of lack of scientific evidence, and I’ve leaned away from Christianity because most of them are either idiots or bigots/dogmatists, while the rest are using religion as a coping mechanism (good on them!) like Ryan here. That decision has made me far happier (albeit a bit nihilistic at times) and I’ve become far more productive and I’ve disciplined myself to get through mafan situations. May not seem like much, but we’ll get there. It may seem like I’m bashing Christianity, but I feel nothing but firgun for Ryan finding happiness in Jesus
So actually I’m really glad for him. I am an atheist and a hater. And proud of it. Because I think generally Christians love to judge others and suck the joy out of life. But this guy makes Jesus his source of joy. And that’s what I think Christianity is really missing, as a movement. Peace and happiness and personal fulfillment. I truly cannot begrudge anyone those things, no matter the source. Good for him
And a Christian that’s doing that can’t be right because we want to make Jesus the source of our life and not judge or hate other so I suggest that maybe you can change your view points on your life and see how that goes for a change and see
@@mrspike3055 hey! i just see your comment about “just because you had a bad experience etc doesn’t mean christian’s are bad” is actually pretty dismissive about peoples hurt and doesn’t sound like you want to take accountability that sometimes christian’s and the church/system can be quite harmful to people. even though the church should be a safe place for everyone! im saying this someone who is a follower.

Dude the comments here are so wholesome I love it so much how people are sharing their own options and beliefs without being hateful and showing love to one another. It's little moments like these that make life okay and show that there's actually okay people out there. I'm so glad that there are some people who don't believe all Christians are bad and stereotypical. Now I am a Christian and do I believe that there are really bad Christians out there? 100% yes. I hate how so much hate gets spread around by the people that are just meant to love everyone regardless. Christians aren't supposed to be known by their hypocrisy or judgement. They're supposed to be recognized by their love and patience and it should be spread to others equally. My heart reaches out to all that have had bad experiences/ trauma that have happened and the cause of it is from the church or someone who claims Christianity. I completely understand and I have been through this before. I deeply apologize and I hope that you are healing and know that you are loved and seen. I hope you have a wonderful day
Exactly, a lot of people will call themselves atheist when they’re like “mad with god” or fearful of a divine entity, but you don’t get mad or fearful over shit you don’t believe exists. Example, you don’t believe in the mythical unicorn, now imagine being afraid of one? It makes no sense.
@@Megasaurusify Sorry, I think my comment was unclear, of course it makes sense for your beliefs to change over time, I’m specifically referring to the kinds of atheists who often claim to be angry at something divine. It doesn’t make sense that they would be angry with, or fearful of, something that they don’t believe in. I myself was a Buddhist for a few years after my departure from Catholicism, so a change in belief is something I’m quite familiar with.

Unsubscribing. Shame on you for promoting psychological manipulation. I suppose it makes sense that you associate yourself so closely to Mr Beast. A bunch of bad apples ready to be thrown out.
@TheMinionzGuy123 accepting Jesus is denying Zathustra. Zoroastrianism dates back to the 6th century BCE. Founded in ancient Persia, it influenced the development of Judaism and predates both Christianity and Islam. Abrahamic faith is a copycat religion. Heaven and hell, monotheism, virgin born prophet, etc. The majority of the Christian story is ripped off/copied. They change and refine the religion so that they can maintain control over their following and you are puppet. Following your logic. Why aren't you mormon? LDS gives you even more of "God's word". To deny God is to banish yourself to hell. Don't you know? Embarassing.
I am an atheist but I understand how positive and meaningful religion can be to people, glad he found what is best for him

Amen for Ryan Trahan
good for him for being able to achieve such a good relationship with religion and god! it’s such a personal thing
So he was never an atheist, just rebelling
All atheists are rebelling.
He called himself a cynical atheist but I think cynical and skeptical gets confused. He likely never asked himself “how do I know what I know? What would be good proof?”
And that’s okay! If he’s happy then I’m happy for him. I’m just saying that by definition, if realizing unresolved emotion about your grandma brings you back to Christianity then that wasn’t skepticism.
Ryan Trajan is such a good person in general I think we can all agree on that and he has such a great personality I love this man

@@heidikay Hey, awesome testimony. Just wanted to say that Jesus made you perfect already.
Hebrews 10:14
"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."
Perfected is past tense, meaning that you are already perfect. And this is FOR EVER! Know that the earth isn't forever. But heaven is. So you're perfect even to heaven. And where do perfect people go? To heaven! Remember that this is through Jesus Christ alone.

It gives you zero right to treat him (or other atheist's who've converted to Christianity) like shit because people before them made harmful decisions.

Wait there are people who think atheists are bad people ?
Yes
I don't respect beliefs, I just respect the people. Believing something that doesn't accurately reflect reality is harmful.
I have too much respect for Christians as people to respect the things they believe.

@@marcomoreno6748 can you explain how it is harmful?
I’m a Christian, but I feel like whenever I say that, a lot of people assume I’m gonna try to force my religion onto them, so I usually just say “oh yeah I do believe there’s something out there.” And move on with my day.
To be honest, that really sucks that they judge you like that. I'm sorry that you feel like you can't open up and be yourself around people. People are so judgemental and shitty.
I'm also Christian, and I just choose to not comment on my religion a lot of the time. It's sad that so many people have to be scared of mentioning their religion for fear of being beaten down over it. I wish you the best!
I know exactly how you feel bro. But Jesus said who denies me before man, I will deny before my father.
So even though we fear the judgement of others we should do our best to stand for Jesus.
Thats the least we can do for him, considering what he did for us.
As a non-religious guy, that sucks. You should be able to express ur religion without being judged.
That sucks, but we are not supposed to deny our religion before others. Just remember that.
I'm so glad to see this - a lot of celebrities claim to be Christians and aren't but Ryan really seems like he's got the idea :D

I’m glad Anthony finally spoke to someone who has had positive experiences with religion. Seems like most people he interviews that talk about religion talk about how much they didn’t like it. Anthony does a great job giving voices to groups that most people don’t know about or are commonly misunderstood, and I think it would be cool for him to do the same for religions.
Yeah but are Christian’s actually underrepresented or are their bad actions overrepresented due to many people in the US having religious trauma?
@@linkbell3515 you're definitely right about religious trauma, but I'm not even specifically talking about christianity. For example there's a lot of bad stigma around Muslims in the US, but I've only had good personal experiences with meeting them. There are also religions most people aren't aware of. I think it'd be cool to shed light on people like that.
@@alfredsupersauce i agree. If you research Muslim culture it has so many similarities to fundamental Christianity (almost like they’re both abrahamic religions) so I honestly don’t get why Christian’s especially will hate on Muslims (not that Christian’s regularly do this but 9/11 made some evangelicals go crazy)
@@linkbell3515 I wouldn't say "hate" on muslims, but there're things that the islamic religion has twisted from the Bible, and a lot of them believe that we have the same God, but that's not possible when they don't even believe that Jesus is God too. There are just many things that we disagree on.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and if the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
I think religion can be great for many things even though I am an atheist. I think the atheist community should try to be less cynical as well even is that means not being in it anymore, for their mental health and for everyone else’s as well.
there's a good and bad side to any community, alot of atheist are chill people, but I do hate seeing atheist shitting on religion
What does this mean? Do you believe atheists are unhappy?
@@marcomoreno6748 no but religion isn’t just about beliefs, it’s about ideals and community. I think that many atheists hold similar values and ideals to Christians and if they are unhappy joining the religion can be a good thing for them.
I am an atheist because I while my parents are religious they didn’t have me go to church and warship god, I also wouldn’t fit in church, I am skeptical of religion and take thing very literally and because of that I would not fit in as well.
I have problems that wouldn’t be helped by being religious but being overly cynical can be helped by having a religious figure tell you everything is going to be alright and because of that I think SOME atheists could benefit from joining a religion.
Jesus loves you all
I don't care about atheist or religious. As long as people are doing good. I'm gonna respect that.
I am the same and when I started going to church of my own accord when I was 13 my brother told me I was joining a hateful cult... It wasn't, he had just had bad experiences with the loud bad ones. I'm not homophobic or transphobic but since I started going to church my brother thought I was going to be and he freaked out, I realize that now but I remember being absolutely devastated that he thought that of me and I cried for hours. I think where the hate comes from in the Christian community isn't people who are Christian because they love Jesus, I think they just wanted an excuse to hate and be mean to people which is the exact opposite of what we are about.
@@russ7009 agreed
The hateful or otherwise "bad" Christian people and groups can and do come from a lot of different places. Your example is definitely one of them, but it is far from the only one. It makes me sad, honestly, how far it's spread. I could give you a whole speech about the subject, but I'll respect your time and leave it at that. God be with you, white rose blossom.
Technically Jesus does say that the punishment for homosexuality is death...
@@trikegang6671 God says the punishment for committing any sin is death, not because He punishes you for sinning but because the act of sinning cuts you off from Him (the source of life). The premise of Christianity is accepting that you are inherently sinful and that Jesus paid the price for your sin. No Christian is any less of a sinner than any other person, we’re all equally dead because of our sins regardless of the moral severity that humans attach to each one. Christians are the people that acknowledge this and then choose to turn towards Jesus in their struggle.

Can’t stand how condescending Christians are in this comment section. “God saves everyone”. Yeah, except for the billions of people who don’t believe in him. If you send people to eternal torture simply because they don’t believe in you, due to you being just another invisible god that people wrote about long ago, then your love is not unconditional, and you are a psychopath. “Jesus saves!!!” How? Nonbelievers before him didn’t go to hell. The only difference he made, according to Christianity, is that the Holy Spirit came into the hearts of believers. Cool, how does that save anyone if you have to be saved in the first place to experience the Holy Spirit? Also, the holy spirit is simply just the feeling you get when you believe that all is going to be ok because you believe you’re loved and taken care of by a god you can’t see, or it’s just your own discernment, depending on the context. I don’t go out picking fights with Christians, I don’t advocate to imprison them, I respect the right to believe, but I do not respect their beliefs themselves, because they are downright delusional and hateful.
Have you ever actually read the Bible?
@@lizzynoelle1959 I grew up Christian. Went to Church. Went to Christian school. Yes, I read the Bible. I had to memorize verses for classes at school and church. I know good and well about Christianity and how the whole “grace and love” shit is a cop-out for the looming threat of eternal doom for those who don’t believe. Rereading the same bullshit verses about how “God loves u (unless u don’t believe)” isn’t going to change my mind in the slightest.
@@kcaustin904 well it doesn’t seem like you paid attention well, or you were taught wrong. God doesn’t send people to hell, but He is perfect and therefore will not ever be in the presence of sin by definition. The only way we can be justified is through His Som, who He sacrificed for us
@@AJAM23 “God doesn’t send people to hell”. Right. He just *allows* them to burn for eternity for the horrible crime of… not believing in the invisible god. They aren’t punished for their sins. Christians have sinned countless times. Everyone makes mistakes. Nonbelievers are punished for not believing in him. Point blank. What separates the validity of Christianity from Islam? Or Hinduism? or Judaism? All of these religions have their own unique ideas of what life is like after death. Problem is, they were all written by ancient humans who had not a damn clue what death was like. Assuming the god of Christianity was real, how come staying hidden is a bigger priority to him than saving billions of souls? He could reveal himself in all his glory, state which religion is correct, and almost everyone would believe in him. Instead, he expects everyone to decipher which ancient religion is the right one. The concept of that sounds fucked up to any normal person, but if you believe that your god is infallible not because he chooses to be good, but because *everything he does is inherently good*, then you are a fucking sheep. Believe me, I paid attention for many years. I believed it for a while. I eventually reached an age where I saw that it was total bullshit. You’re not going to convince me that worshipping a god nobody can see who’s allegedly responsible for torturing a majority people that ever existed is a good thing because he also sent his son to get tortured for us so that we could continue to get tortured if we don’t believe but at least we have a less shitty role model to worship. Keep your roleplaying to yourself please.
I would like to state that God doesn’t send people to hell and hell was not made for us however if you chose to hate and ignore God on earth why would you spend an eternity with him in heaven
while I am atheist I am happy for him that he found Jesus, as it clearly makes him so happy!!

I some what agree with this in the sense that I dont like to put my beliefs on others but I will state them and give people the option to follow christ or not
I wonder if your concept of 'forcing' just means sharing your faith.
Keeping the means of salvation to yourself as well... what would Christ say.
A seed of faith grew in you, but bore no fruit.
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOESOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
Just saying god did canonically kill everyone and Satan just runs a massive jail
Please stop. We know what God did, which is why we follow the religion. If you're an Athiest, I recommend looking at the Bible, Psalms, or other things so you can learn, and not just say :) I'm not forcing religion, but please stop essentially 'hating'(im not sure which word to use, as it's not necessarily hating, more like pushing people to turn away from God) thank you! ☺️
As a Christian myself, God “kills” or separates Himself spiritually from others, not physically. Please respect other religions
@@Bibidi.Slayzz23 I'm just saying I don't understand
I'm Atheist but I understand that god and Jesus are supposed to be loving, but it's the actual people that practice that religion is what turns me away. The beliefs that a lot of Christians have disgusts me and it's not the way that Jesus/god would want to be like
What celeries do Christian’s have that disgust you?
I’m Christian and personally I think that was a good move because I don’t think their beliefs and right
Huh ? Grammar a bit broken their
@@miguelatkinson sorry, that was a year ago lol

I went in reverse. 3 years ago, I was a Christian, but now, I’m an atheist. However, I don’t have a problem with religious people as long as they don’t hurt anyone.
I hate that, as thiests, we have to clarify that last part. There are too many spiteful athiests, many of whom I dont blame (their experiences with religion fuel their spite for it)
@@colmlooney5843 I had negative experiences with religion too (I was indoctrinated by an emotionally-abusive, homophobic, antisemitic teacher), but I know plenty of religious people who aren’t like her, such as my grandma, who’s the stereotypical sweet old lady but Latina, and majority of my friends and their families (2 Catholic, 1 Jewish).
the positive comments are really great to see! have faith or not

Jesus is God amen and amen!❤
As a Catholic i find this very amazing, i feel like I haven't met another Catholic in a long time (other than friends and family who go to church with me:0)
Im catholic too
Why are people praising for losing Faith, and becoming an Atheist.
But scoffed at for finding a Faith, and leaving Atheism behind.
Well, they're opposite things, so of course they'd have opposite reactions in some communities, but most of the time it's the other way around in this situation, and although I don't quite know what the metrics are here, there's a lot of people on both sides who are supportive
@@rowboat10 Yeah that is accurate. It seems like people enjoy the disbelief for some reason.
@@tiffany7023 Disbelief in god or atheism or both?
Stuck in world view/thinking
Man... I'm a bigger fan of Ryan after this video haha
I had the opposite experience from him. Grew up Catholic and as soon as I got to highschool I realized how non-Christian most Christians act. It’s supposed to be a religion about love and acceptance but from my experience it’s anything but that. I also was incredibly lazy and had a huge problem with procrastination. My excuse? I’ll get to do everything in Heaven. It made everything far easier to believe that there was always someone there for me, but eventually I started thinking “what if there is no God and I won’t be able to accomplish everything I want to in Heaven?” That thought becoming more and more prevalent in my mind as well as a variety of other factors I will not discuss caused me to agnostic/atheist. For clarification (because people always tell me I use those definitions wrong), I really don’t care if there is or isn’t a God. I don’t think there is, because of lack of scientific evidence, and I’ve leaned away from Christianity because most of them are either idiots or bigots/dogmatists, while the rest are using religion as a coping mechanism (good on them!) like Ryan here. That decision has made me far happier (albeit a bit nihilistic at times) and I’ve become far more productive and I’ve disciplined myself to get through mafan situations. May not seem like much, but we’ll get there. It may seem like I’m bashing Christianity, but I feel nothing but firgun for Ryan finding happiness in Jesus
Good for you! 👍
Have you ever read or explored Summa Theologica?
Yeah, most of the “Christian’s” that you’ve experienced in your life probably weren’t real Christian’s if they were doing that
@@paru-chinbaka5214 I have not. Care to enlighten me or should I look it up?
@@AsymmetricalAce You should look it up! :)
Amen
So actually I’m really glad for him. I am an atheist and a hater. And proud of it. Because I think generally Christians love to judge others and suck the joy out of life. But this guy makes Jesus his source of joy. And that’s what I think Christianity is really missing, as a movement. Peace and happiness and personal fulfillment. I truly cannot begrudge anyone those things, no matter the source. Good for him
I disagree
You can’t just judge a whole religion based on a couple people u saw online or had experience with
And a Christian that’s doing that can’t be right because we want to make Jesus the source of our life and not judge or hate other so I suggest that maybe you can change your view points on your life and see how that goes for a change and see
@@mrspike3055 True
@@mrspike3055 hey! i just see your comment about “just because you had a bad experience etc doesn’t mean christian’s are bad” is actually pretty dismissive about peoples hurt and doesn’t sound like you want to take accountability that sometimes christian’s and the church/system can be quite harmful to people. even though the church should be a safe place for everyone! im saying this someone who is a follower.
I was raised roman catholic and I'm highly educated in theology. Now im agnostic, and still find religion fascinating
Jesus is the way the truth and the life, man without Jesus hell is your DESTINY
@@johanneshartman4618 hell doesn't exist
Fear mongering does nothing. I don’t quite feel like reading a comment saying I’m going to burn forever and then choose to agree with that and live in forever fear. Be nicer next time and maybe I would consider. But your comment was basically “believe or die”

Glad to see there are sensible atheists in here. Respect the dude. Understand him. And keep scrolling. No negativity
Don't order people around, please.
But if you go to newest comments you see the worse atheist
@@footballismyproperty1723 yep… it’s sad.
I'm so proud of him lol.
Dude the comments here are so wholesome I love it so much how people are sharing their own options and beliefs without being hateful and showing love to one another. It's little moments like these that make life okay and show that there's actually okay people out there. I'm so glad that there are some people who don't believe all Christians are bad and stereotypical. Now I am a Christian and do I believe that there are really bad Christians out there? 100% yes. I hate how so much hate gets spread around by the people that are just meant to love everyone regardless. Christians aren't supposed to be known by their hypocrisy or judgement. They're supposed to be recognized by their love and patience and it should be spread to others equally. My heart reaches out to all that have had bad experiences/ trauma that have happened and the cause of it is from the church or someone who claims Christianity. I completely understand and I have been through this before. I deeply apologize and I hope that you are healing and know that you are loved and seen.
I hope you have a wonderful day
You should check the newest ones, they're the comments that's aren't wholesome
@@Briskedshasra You’re right. While there are some atheists here that are genuinely nice, there are also some that aren’t so friendly.
@@brianorozco1074 Just what you expect on TH-cam, nothing is nice forever on this site.
@@Briskedshasra True
If you go from cynical atheist to Christian it means you were never a cynical atheist just a cynical Christian
That makes no sense.
You had to be a least a little high while writing this
Exactly, a lot of people will call themselves atheist when they’re like “mad with god” or fearful of a divine entity, but you don’t get mad or fearful over shit you don’t believe exists. Example, you don’t believe in the mythical unicorn, now imagine being afraid of one? It makes no sense.
@@Megasaurusify Sorry, I think my comment was unclear, of course it makes sense for your beliefs to change over time, I’m specifically referring to the kinds of atheists who often claim to be angry at something divine. It doesn’t make sense that they would be angry with, or fearful of, something that they don’t believe in. I myself was a Buddhist for a few years after my departure from Catholicism, so a change in belief is something I’m quite familiar with.
@@Megasaurusify what is the evidence for a god(s)
That's what I want to know.

Whatever floats your boat! As long as it’s not hurting anyone, believe in it. I am mostly atheist but I have made my own sort of creator figure. It’s comforting tbh. It makes me happy to see people finding comfort in a religion that speaks to them. :)
"Eh not sure I vibe with your religion. How bout I just make my own? : )"
@@limeyell0w945
That's not what I got from his message, and I doubt that's what he meant.
I'm sure what he means is he's mostly an atheist, though he believes their is a creator or god out there somewhere
So whilst he lives life with atheist beliefs and under that lens, he's not entirely convinced that there couldn't be a creator
I'm very much the same
I'm not an avid believer in the religions we have on earth
But I am inclined to believe that there has to be a creator of some kind

Unsubscribing. Shame on you for promoting psychological manipulation. I suppose it makes sense that you associate yourself so closely to Mr Beast. A bunch of bad apples ready to be thrown out.

@_exurb_ first comes stagnation. Next comes dissolution. Give it time. He is heading downhill.
@@sethborne The real downhill that will occur is life after denying Jesus
@TheMinionzGuy123 accepting Jesus is denying Zathustra.
Zoroastrianism dates back to the 6th century BCE. Founded in ancient Persia, it influenced the development of Judaism and predates both Christianity and Islam.
Abrahamic faith is a copycat religion. Heaven and hell, monotheism, virgin born prophet, etc. The majority of the Christian story is ripped off/copied.
They change and refine the religion so that they can maintain control over their following and you are puppet.
Following your logic. Why aren't you mormon? LDS gives you even more of "God's word". To deny God is to banish yourself to hell. Don't you know?
Embarassing.
